Council Staff Changes

On behalf of Council and fellow staff members I wish to thank Tony Irvine for his past two years of service to the Tumby Bay district. Tony has implemented a number of strategies within the administration of Council which have increased Council’s level of professionalism and compliance in many areas. His communication with local organisations has also provided many groups and individuals with a better understanding of Council’s role within our community and greatly assisted with communication of Council goals. We wish Tony well in his new position with the Eyre Peninsula Local Government Association and look forward to working with him on matters of regional significance into the future. Council is working towards the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer in the coming weeks. I would also take this opportunity to convey my thanks and appreciation to both Glenda Pickford and Rachelle Richter who will also be leaving our organisation in the coming weeks. Both ladies have proven to be valuable employees of Council with their attention to detail and work ethic without question. I wish them all the best in their chosen futures. The following employees have recently been appointed to Council staff and I look forward to working with them over the coming years: Executive Assistant - Julie Kemp comes to us having gained Local Government experience with the District Council of Streaky Bay and will be working closely with senior staff and Elected Members. Administration Officer - Carolyn Birkin has moved across the road from the Tumby Bay Area School and brings a wealth of experience to her new role with Council. Carolyn will play an important part in the timely administration of Council business processes and daily activities. Construction Maintenance Worker - Ben Clements will join the Works Department later this month having gained valuable experience with both the District Council of Streaky Bay and City of Port Lincoln.

Dion Watson, Acting Chief Executive Officer

Tumby Bay S.A.C.W.A.

Secretary Joan Winter read the minutes of the previous meeting and that was accepted without opposition. The treasures and the craft reports were dealt with and accepted. Joan Winters, secretary , gave the cottage report on Marie’s behalf. Marie Lally received further quotes for solar power on the cottages. The cottages have been fully booked during the holiday period and continue to be well patronised. Some bookings have been made for up to twelve months ahead. Suggestions were requested tor the celebration of the Tumby Bay C.W.A. 80th birthday later this year.

Our guest speaker Marlene Poole talked to us about her many interesting adventures as a member of various motor cycle clubs with her husband Peter. They have travelled extensively throughout the country both in South Australia and Interstate with Marlene riding pillion and towing a camper trailer. They now travel on a three wheeler but always before it was two wheels. Once she was riding a motorbike herself with her son on the back, rather reluctantly and not feeling confident in her early days as a rider, when she seemed to get faster and faster. A corner came up and she couldn’t get around it so the bike dumped both of them. Her son refused to ride with her next time. Travelling around as part of a club they get to meet and make many friends and see a lot of our big country. We found Marlene’s memories very interesting and certainly different and maybe some of us were just a little bit envious of her adventures. Marlene was presented with a gift of thanks for her entertaining talk about motor cycles. Members finished up with afternoon tea and chatter.

Pap Awareness Week

P a p A w a r e n e s s W e e k p r o v i d e s a n opportunity for a wide range of heath and community organisations in South Australia to promote the importance for regular Pap smears to prevent cervical cancer.

If you are between the ages of 18 and 70 years and have ever been sexually active, you should have a Pap smear every two years. A Pap smear can find early warning signs long before cancer of the cervix (neck of the womb) develops.

If women have regular Pap smears, 90% of cervical cancers can be prevented. A Pap smear can detect changes in your cervix and you can be monitored by your doctor to prevent it developing into cancer.

Even if you no longer have periods, or you haven’t had sex for years, you still need to have a Pap smear. At age 70, consult with your doctor about whether you need to continue to have regular Pap smears.

Our February meeting was held in the delightful home of Nancy Stewart and was attended by 11 members and guests. Birthdays for the month were Kay Ingram, Topsy Stringer and Caren Gates.

The guest speaker was Malvern Telfer who told of his and his wife Lyn's recent trip to the Middle East, Turkey and Greece accompanied by a slide show, it was an interesting look at totally different cultures and the contrast between modern and ancient societies.

Malvern then drew the raffle 1st prize Jenny Parker 2nd prize Di Phillips 3rd prize Lisa Law. A delicious afternoon tea was enjoyed by all as the afternoon drew to a close. Our March meeting was held in the lovely cool home of Eva Pugsley, the HOT weather did not deter the brave hearted from venturing out with 9 members attending. Guest speaker for the day was Carol Holliday, "Why Me" she asked? It was obvious really, she runs a prosperous small business from home, she is self taught, she saw an opportunity to take on a new challenge with a complete change of profession and was successful. Offering embroidery on wide range of clothing (she can even sell you the clothes), or bring your own. Corporate logos or something for the kids. Vinyl lettering for clothes, signs or even vehicles. Carol can be found at 8 Bratten Way. The next handicrafts day will be held on March 26 at Topsy's house. It's on again. "THE MYSTERY BUS TOUR" April 9th. 10am start, meeting at the Council car park. BYO lunch. RSVP Valmai Webb Ph 8688 2647 Thanks again to Jane Smith of Yeelanna for being such an interesting guest speaker at our Christmas meeting, invited to speak of her involvement with Zonta, we had no idea of what a fascinating life she's led so far.

Tumby Bay and Districts Lions Club

The Lions Youth of the Year Quest is designed to encourage student leadership and the qualities to take on an active and constructive role in the community. The quest begins at a club level and progresses through Zone, Regional, State and National finals. Ultimately, winners can travel throughout Australia and overseas as ambassadors for Lions Clubs.

The Tumby Bay and Districts Club has participated in Zone finals since 2011. This year our club was represented by Carly Hibble, currently a year 12 student at Tumby Bay Area School. Carly was taken through a thorough process involving interview, a prepared public speech and impromptu questions that tested her general knowledge and public speaking ability. Carly competed against students from Port. Augusta, Pt. Lincoln and Arno Bay. Although Carly didn’t win this final, she did represent herself, our club and the school exceptionally well and I’m sure she gained invaluable experience form the process. Carly will receive $300 from our club in recognition of her efforts.

Thank you to Sally Richardson for her support and expertise in guiding Carly through the process and to the NAB for their sponsorship of the YOTY Quest.

Our club is seeking support through the Bendigo Bank Community Grants program to allow us to jointly fund a Defibrillator to be located near the town jetty.

If successful, the machine should provide an additional level of safety for members of our community.

Kym Mason, President, Tumby Bay and Districts Lions Club

National Television and Computer

Recycling Scheme

Free services under the new National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme commenced in the ACT on 15 May 2012 and will progressively expand across the country by the end of 2013.

However, until services under the Scheme start in your area, your unwanted televisions and computers can be disposed of by:

Asking, second-hand shops or a charity if they will take them (if they’re still in working order)

Passing them on to friends or family

Using existing local government or other recycling services (contact your council for more information)

Storing them out of the weather until access to the scheme is available in your area

Please note that if you are switching to digital television, it is less expensive and more environmentally friendly to buy a digital set-top box or digital television recorder than to replace and dispose of your analogue television.

EYRE PENINSULA REINFORCEMENT PROJECT

Community drop-in days on the Eyre Peninsula

To meet the high-voltage electricity transmission requirements on the Eyre Peninsula into the future, and the

requirements of the South Australian Electricity Transmission Code (ETC), ElectraNet has begun

planning for the replacement of and upgrade to the existing 132,000 Colt (132 kV) transmission line that runs

between Cultana, Yadnarie and Port Lincoln.

A series of community drop-in days will be held at three different locations across the Eyre Peninsula and

residents are invited to drop-in at any time to learn about the factors involved in replacing a transmission line, share their

thoughts on potential route options and have a chat with ElectraNet’s project team.
