Mayor’s Message

Tod Reservoir Public Meeting SA Water recently came over and held a public meeting at

the Tumby Bay RSL to explain their proposed project on the

Tod Reservoir. The project involves putting permanent

drains in the Reservoir to reduce the capacity down to just

8% of its constructed capacity, to conform to their adopted

guidelines on avoiding the risk of a 1 in 600,000 year event

where there may be potential risk of the dam wall

overtopping. Council has been very strong in our opposition

to this project from a number of different perspectives, from

water security, public interest, risk management, and

economic validity. At the public meeting, the very strong

message from the approximately 80 community members

present was that SA Water should halt any progression of

this project until the community has been more thoroughly

informed and consulted, and there is more data around the

justification and ramifications of the project. I will continue to

be very involved in this issue, and am always working hard

at thoroughly representing our community, both here in our

council area and further abroad.

Tumby Bay Showboat - Stars of the Future My congratulations must go to all who were involved in the

recent Showboat presentation, “Stars of the Future”. The

quality of the performances from the young people

participating was matched by the hard work and diligence of

those involved on the production side. It provided an

opportunity for our young people to add to our culture

artistically, through music and dance, as well as raising

money for the upgrade of one of our great community

assets, the Tumby Bay Soldiers Memorial Hall. Much

gratitude is to be extended to those members of the Tumby

Bay Showboat Committee, especially Bev Ollivier, Heide

Roberts, and Bev Holder, on their initiative and hard work.

The recent wet and windy weather has certainly meant that

council staff and resources have been needing to work very

hard, with erosion on some of our roads, as well as trees

and branches down. District Council of Tumby Bay have

over 1100km of roads that are our responsibility, so to be

fully aware of each section is a difficult task, so I would

encourage all our residents and ratepayers to work with

council in letting us know of immediate issues, and to be

patient with our attempts to solve issues!

Mayor Sam Telfer

Waste Collection

The town bin collection services are now provided by VEOLIA who have purchased the business from Cave Civil and Environmental, who provided an excellent service to ratepayers.

Veolia now collect bins in the Council areas of Tumby Bay, Lower Eyre Peninsula and Port Lincoln and own and operate the landfill facility at Butler.

Normal enquiries for new/replacement bins can still be made to the Council office and other enquiries or complaints can be directed to the new Veolia contacts as listed below.

All transfer station operations at Tumby Bay, Port Neill and Ungarra are unaffected by this change and will continue to operate as usual.

BreastScreen SA Caring for women from ocean to outback

BreastScreen SA’s mobile unit visiting

Port Lincoln

BreastScreen SA’s mobile screening unit is visiting Port

Lincoln to provide free screening mammograms (breast X-

rays) to more than 2,500 local women. Located in the car

park of the Arteyrea Workshop, 23 Mortlock Terrace,

appointments for screening will begin in late July and will

conclude in late October 2016.

This free government service is primarily recommended for

all women aged 50 to 74 years without breast symptoms.

Local women who are eligible for screening will receive

invitations over the coming weeks and new clients are also

welcome to make a booking. Appointments can be made by

phoning 13 20 50, and a doctor’s referral is not required.

BreastScreen SA’s Promotions and Education Manager,

Karen Woodcock, said the two biggest risk factors for breast

cancer are being a woman and being over 50.

“Further, nine out of 10 women who get breast cancer have

no family history of this disease,” Ms Woodcock said.

While breast cancer cannot be prevented, the best way to

detect it early is by having a screening mammogram every

two years. Screening mammograms can detect most breast

cancers, including some that are too small to be felt.

“An appointment can take as little as 10 minutes, and our

specially trained female radiographers are very sensitive to

every woman’s needs,” Ms Woodcock said.

“They will ensure the procedure is as quick and comfortable

as possible.”

Each woman’s X-rays are read by two, independent

radiologists and the results are posted within 14 days. Most

women who attend for screening are reassured that their

mammogram shows no evidence of breast cancer.

“One screening mammogram is not enough to last a

lifetime,” said Ms Woodcock.

“So if you’re a woman aged 50 to 74, have a breast screen

every two years on the mobile screening unit while it’s

visiting Port Lincoln.”

“Please call 13 20 50 today. With early detection, there is a

greater chance of successful treatment.”

LEHAC Member Profile

Name: Wendy Holman

Contact: 8676 2539 Location: Cummins Position: District Council of Lower Eyre Peninsula Representative

Originally from Eudunda in the Mid North, Wendy started

her teaching career in Cummins in 1973, and became part

of the “marriage market” with other young teachers and

nurses on Eyre Peninsula. She married a Cockaleechie

farmer, Geoff Holman, and their family of 3 children are now

married and have their own families. Nine grandchildren are

the delight in retirement!

Retiring in 2001 from a full time career as a secondary

teacher/teacher librarian spanning 25 years, Wendy then

volunteered her time in support of community projects and

maintaining services in the Cummins and Cockaleechie

districts.

Over the past 15 years, Wendy invested countless volunteer

hours being involved in the following valuable community

organisations:

As a director/past Secretary of the Cummins District

Financial Services which operates the Cummins

District Community Bank, and has contributed

significant financial support to Health Services in this

district.

For 5 years as a Director of the Board of the Lower

Eyre Health Services responsible for Cummins

District Memorial and Tumby Bay Hospitals. Wendy

was Chairperson for 3 years overseeing budgets, and

project planning.

When the government abolished Local Hospital

Boards she was appointed to the Lower Eyre Health

Advisory Council (LEHAC) as inaugural Presiding

Member. In that time involvement included major

building projects at both Cummins and Tumby Bay,

as well as producing meeting agendas, newsletters

and managing community surveys and

communicating Country Health plans to community,

representing Lower Eyre Health in Departmental

meetings and contributing to regional health

networks.

It is crucial that LEHAC represents the community

voice in what our future Health Services will be, and

we must lobby government to ensure we are

acknowledged as offering a critical service in our

community.

Involvement for 20 years with the Cummins District

Enterprise Committee, as past Chairperson and

currently a pro-active member.

Board director of the Eyre Peninsula Community

Foundation for 4 years and secretary for 18 months.

Elected Councillor on District Council of Lower

Eyre Peninsula from 2003–2006, and then 2010–

2014. Re-elected for 2014–2018.

In 2001, Wendy Holman was awarded South Australian Citizen of the Year.

Of Ashes and Rivers that Run to the Sea by Marie Munkara

Marie Munkara has written an incredibly open and honest

account of her life, having been removed from her family at

three years old, adopted by strict Catholics, and then

returning to her birth family.

She holds nothing back reflecting on her abusive adoptive

parents and the challenges she faces when she reconnects

with her family and country.

This book deals with her need to embrace aspects of both

the culture she was raised in, and the one she had to start

to relearn at twenty-eight years of age. It raises issues that

face Aboriginal people today and in the past, with candour

and hope.

13 Minutes

by Sarah Pinborough When popular teenager Natasha Howland is found in the icy

river, it is assumed she is dead. But then the man who

found her saw movement, but by the time the ambulance

came she had not had a pulse for thirteen minutes.

She is revived and through her recovery she struggles to

remember why and how she was there, as the investigation

covers her friends and acquaintances.

Old friend Becca, who is no longer part of Tasha’s in-crowd,

is suddenly back in her good books, while fellow ‘Barbies’

Hayley and Jenny are now on the outer.

A thriller for teenagers and adults who have one or

remember what it was like to be one.

Dangerous to Know by Anne Buist

This is book two in the Natalie King, Forensic Psychiatrist

series. It can be read on it’s own, but follows book one,

Medea’s Curse, which we featured last year.

Natalie is again challenged on all sides, both personally and

professionally as she deals with her own demons, and then

encounters them in her work. Who should she be looking

out for?

Insights into mental health, that reflect Buist’s background in

this area, are combined with action and suspense to make

this an interesting and compelling book.

Tumby Bay SACWA

The meeting of the Tumby Bay CWA was held on

Wednesday 15th June 2016. The President Sandy

McCallum opened the meeting and seven members

attended.

Marie Lally celebrated her 80th birthday and we sang Happy

Birthday to her and presented her with a birthday card

signed by all present.

Roll call was ideas for next year’s programme; souvenir

spoon, unusual bell, progressive games, pretty plate, visit

somewhere, book bazaar, bush tucker, member’s hobby.

We were again without a secretary so President Sandy did

both jobs. Certainly kept her busy.

Minutes were read by Marie and accepted and business

dealt with. Sandy checked out two available trophy cabinets

and we decided on which one we preferred.

A letter from Lion’s Club about a visitors board on Lipson

Road entrance to the town was discussed and we decided

to put our advertisement on the cottage and caravan

accommodation with a large sign.

Helen gave the handicraft report and reported on the recent

table day. There has been water damage around the hall so

it was decided to arrange for Peter Poole to assess it. There

was a meeting of the committee for the Christmas Pageant

on 6th July at the Bowls Club at 7.30pm. Marie Lally gave

the cottage report.

Because of the cold weather we decided to have a hot

cuppa early. Sandy then closed the meeting and showed us

a DVD about native bees which we found very interesting,

learning facts about these small creatures none of us had

known before. We are now more informed and

understanding of the special help they are to our gardens.

Lions Club

Our annual Handover Dinner was held at the Seabreeze

Hotel on Monday June 27 2016. The District Governor of

Lions and his wife Sandy joined 45 other members and

friends for the occasion.

Rob performed the induction of Officers for the 2016/17

year; Ian Fulton remained President, 1st Vice-President and

Tail Twister Wilbur Williams, 2nd VP Don Baillie, 3rd VP

Terry Power, Secretary Alan (Horry) Richardson, Asstistant

Secretary Ian Charlton, Treasurer Wayne Branson and Lion

Tamer Deane Liddicoat complete the Board. Special

mention is made of the retiring Board and in particular Kevin

Cook, as Cooky has been our resident joke teller and has

held a number of positions on the Board over the years.

District Governor Rob gave an interesting talk into the

insight of Lions and mentioned a number of roles that we

play and some that some of us may have been unaware of.

The Lions Foundation made funding available for the Pinery

Fires and he made a particular mention of the work

performed by our local members at Pinery.

The LCIF (Foundation) is operating a “skin cancer bus” and

it will be in SA and NT in the next 12 months in the Rural

areas to instigate testing for this insidious disease. He also

spoke about the need for flexibility in the running of local

Lions Clubs and the fact that we really do make a difference

in our communities.

The evening was most enjoyable and we once again remind

the community that we are always looking for new

members. Our Club has a number of social functions in

addition to the work and funds that we raise in the

community please feel free to contact the above officers or

any members for any details you may require.

Tumby Bay Probus Club

Tumby Bay Probus Club meeting was held 1st July with 46

present. Following the National Anthem a minutes silence

was held in respect of two members, Leon Higgins and

Phyllis Moyle.

We welcomed two new members June and David Hedley,

introduced by Von Fauser. June then gave a short history,

in which we realised they have been in Tumby for a while.

After the minutes, birthdays and treasurers reports, the main

business arising was about the Combined Probus Rally to

be on 6th September at Quorn. Transport and

accommodation is being organised for all, August meeting

will be confirmed.

The topic from the floor was “an amusing event

remembered from school days” which caused a smile.

Moss’s took the cake.

The speakers introduced by Anne Swaffer were Kerri

Stutley and Sue Trezise from the Variety Bash Fairies who

shared how the funds, grants etc. are raised, the type of

children who are helped through their efforts and that 98c in

the dollar goes direct to their cause.

The cars must be thirty years old and are inspected by

experts before they are passed for the trip. This year it

starts in Port Lincoln on 4th July and after some rough

tracks round Eyre Peninsula ends up in Clare, hence the

label “from Great White to Great White” (i.e. GW Shark to

GW Wine).

The teams certainly work hard for their wonderful cause

which helps many children in Australia. Next Probus

meeting 5th August, visitors welcome. “Wear your badge

with pride.”

Vogt). There were 14 children in the family, 5 boys and 9 girls, of which he was the sixth eldest. His father was a

farmer.

His schooling was undertaken at Seven Hills, on completion of which, at Grade 7, he worked on the family farm

before moving to Tumby Bay and undertaking work on farms in the area until his enlistment in the Army in 1916; at

the time he gave his employment as farmer.

On enlistment he was posted to 2nd

Depot Battalion (Bn) at Mitcham for a period of 12 weeks to complete basic

training. He was then transferred to 14th Reinforcements/27

th Bn and undertook further training before embarking at

Adelaide on 12 August 1916 aboard HMAT “Ballarat” bound for Plymouth (UK), arriving on 30 September 1916. After

a further 2 months of training he embarked for Etaples (France) on 17 November 1916: immediately on arrival in

France he was placed in an isolation ward of 24th General Hospital with mumps, a disease that seems to have been

prevalent amongst the troops at the time. He was finally taken on strength by his unit on 26 December 1916 after his

release from hospital.

The 27th Bn was a South Australian Bn which had been raised in 1915 and had seen action at Gallipoli and in the

Middle East before entering the front line trenches on the Western Front in April 1916. The Bn took part in its first

major battle at Pozieres between 28 July and 5 August 1916. It was after this action that Lawrence joined his unit

and took part in two attacks to the east of Flers in the Somme Valley, both of which floundered in the mud and were

unsuccessful. The Bn then participated in a number of attacks during the German withdrawal to the Hindenburg Line

in early 1917; although these attacks are described as minor in nature, casualties were relatively high.

The 27th Bn did not carry out a major attack again until September 1917. On this occasion, it was part of the 2

nd

Division’s first assault wave at the battle of Menin Road Ridge, which was part of the Third Battle of Ypres. Victory in

this action was followed up with the capture of Broodseinde Ridge on 4 October, in which the 27th Bn also played a

major role, but like so many of his mates, Lawrence did not get to see this, as during the initial attack he was killed in

action (KIA) in Belgium at Westhoek Ridge near Polygon Wood on the 20 September 1917, the first day of the

action. He was aged 26 years.

He is commemorated at Ypres on the Menin Gate Memorial, as his resting place is unknown. His name is also

included on the Tumby Bay Memorial.

His 20 year old brother also served in 27th Bn and was wounded in action.
