TUMBY BAY COUNCIL
& COMMUNITY NEWS
February 2020
Mayor’s Message Greetings all Firstly, I would like to congratulate the Tumby Bay RSL Sub-Branch on their Centenary celebration weekend. The series of events which were put together were a credit to the hard work of many volunteers and members, and President Graeme Noske and the whole club must be truly admired for it. The street procession and family afternoon on the oval provided a great opportunity for the whole community to be able to experience a great variety of unique displays and presentations, and the lunches and dinners which were shared were a great time to catch up with old friends and make new ones. The Saturday evening Dinner Dance was a special event with His Excellency, The Governor of SA Hieu Van Le in attendance with his wife, as well as the State President of the RSL. It was also very special to have the son of the first Tumby Bay RSL President there to share the evening with. Our RSL Sub-Branch is an active and inclusive club, which has worked with returned soldiers, their families and the wider community for 100 years, and I trust it will continue on for many years to come. Congratulations again. Secondly, Council has been going through a comprehensive program of development for their 10 year Long Term Financial Plan, including public submissions and meetings. I would like to thank all who have participated in this process, including the healthy number of community members who attended the meeting to ask questions and put their perspectives forward. It is always important that Council is listening to the wide-range of views of our community, and endeavour to deliver the best economic, social and visionary outcomes based upon those views. Finally, I would like to acknowledge the tenure Mr Trevor Smith, who will be finishing up his time as the CEO of the District Council of Tumby Bay at the end of his contract at the end of June. Trevor has been CEO for the past seven years, serving in three different Council terms I must thank Trevor for these years employed as CEO of the DCTB, during which there have been many challenges met and projects delivered. As well as this, Trevor has developed a strong affinity with many of our district’s community groups, working positively with both elected members and staff to help further the district. I believe he leaves the role with the community and Council in a stronger position. In coming weeks Council will begin the recruitment process for a new CEO.

Cry of the Firebird by T.M. Clark In the badlands of Africa, a resourceful doctor fights to save her patients' lives. Australian thriller writer T.M. Clark returns with a vivid, action-packed adventure in the tradition of Wilbur Smith. South African-born Doctor Lily Winters, a consultant with the World Health Organization, has been in the thick of some of the worst humanitarian disasters across the
globe. But when she's posted back to South Africa following the suspicious death of an ex-colleague, she faces the biggest medical mystery she's ever seen. The resettled San community of Platfontein is exhibiting a higher-than-average HIV infection rate, and their people are dying. The cases Lily takes over are baffling and despite her best efforts the medicine doesn't seem to be helping. To save this unique community, Lily and a policeman from the Kalahari, Piet Kleinman, join forces to trace the origins of the epidemic and uncover the truth. Their search drags them into the dangerous world of a corrupt industry driven by profit while the authorities meant to protect their community turn a blind eye. In a race against time Lily and Piet will put not only their careers but their lives on the line... The good woman of Renmark by Darry Fraser
Adventure, romance and history combine in this thrilling 19th century journey through the South Australian bush and along the mighty Murray River in the company of a determined heroine. 1895, Renmark, South Australia
Maggie O'Rourke has always had a hard head. No man was going to tie her down to a life of babies and domestic slavery, even if that man was as good (and as annoyingly attractive) as Sam Taylor. Maggie is happily earning her own way as a maid in a house on the Murray River when disaster strikes. Forced to defend herself and a friend from assault by an evil man, she flees downriver on a paddle steamer. With death at her heels, Maggie begins to realise that a man like Sam might be just who she wants in her hour of need. As for Sam, well, Maggie has always been what he wants. The further Maggie runs, the more she discovers there are some things she cannot escape...

Genesis by Robin Cook New York Times-bestselling author Robin Cook takes on the ripped-from-the-headlines topic of using genealogical DNA database tracking to catch a killer in this unforgettable new medical thriller. When the body of twenty-nine-year-old social worker Gloria Montoya, seven weeks pregnant with her first child, shows up on Chief New York City Medical Examiner Laurie Montgomery's autopsy table, she's baffled to find no apparent causes of death. With no clues to go on, Laurie enlists the help of Dr. Tricia Albanese, a forensic pathology resident with a background in genetic science, to help her trace the identity of the unborn baby's father using DNA from the mother and child. But when Tricia is found dead in her apartment in a manner strikingly similar to Gloria's death, Laurie realizes she might have two linked homicides on her hands...and now it's up to her, with the help of her husband, ME Jack Stapleton, to continue the tracking work Tricia had begun before a killer can strike again.

Monthly Meetings - Second Tuesday each month at 7:30pm in RSL Clubrooms The Clubrooms open at 5:30 pm on a Friday with Bert or Allen ready to serve you cool refreshments! You can relax around the bar; play a game of 8-ball, convince a visitor to have a game of darts or simply take the time to look through the photographs of ex-Service personnel and memorabilia on display. On the last Friday of each month at 6:30pm, Geoff Stewart presents a “Last Post Ceremony” in honour of one of the soldiers that came from our District, served our country and, in many cases, did not return. Geoff has also written a book “TUMBY BAY DISTRICT VETERANS’ MEMOIRS” which can be purchased by completing an order form at the RSL Clubrooms; contacting him on 0419 208 944 or by e-mail on [email protected]. It is a collection of the stories of individual veterans covering the period from the Boer War through to modern day conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is a very personal history, recording the lives and, in many instances, the deaths of veterans from our district. Friday Night teas recommenced on Friday 24th January 2020 at 6:30pm. Meals are $10 for Members and $15 for non-members offering a choice of main course and dessert. Anyone wishing to volunteer to assist in the kitchen on a monthly roster are asked to contact Kathy Boyce on 0448 877 873. Members are reminded that there is a Suggestions Box where you can place any ideas for improving our Club’s service to current and ex-Service personnel and the Community generally.
Lest We Forget
Tumby Bay Croquet Club
Croquet is played whenever you can find the time, hence we never had a break during Christmas and New Year celebrations. For those that are available, games are organised Saturday morning and Wednesday afternoon but many play at other times when they feel like taking in the view and fresh air. Many players are preparing for the Victor Harbor tournament at the end of February so there are two full size greens set up for them to practice the real game (just in case you looked over the fence and were confused). We wish to sincerely thank everyone who supported our food stall at the Lions Christmas parade. As you saw we were “run off our feet” but it was worth it as a good profit was made to contribute to the paving that will make our space more accessible and tidy. Come and see.
Some people think croquet is a vicious game which is far from true as it is a very social game which can be competitive but never vicious, we just like to hit opponent’s balls away so they don’t make a hoop at the same time placing our ball near the next hoop. Sometimes we are successful. If you see us sitting around or walking slowly across the green, don’t think croquet is a sedentary game as we are planning our next sneaky move. Our game is non stressful exercise where you can get your ‘steps up’ in no time. If you wish to have a try please contact Karyn and Garry Speed 0427 881 920 or Kathy and Rob Wilkins 0429 885 678
Tumby Bay National Trust Museum
Our museum has been open as per usual except Christmas Day. This demonstrates the mighty commitment of our volunteers: Pat Carr, Grant Marshal, June Hedley and Helen Treherne. Everyone who visits is amazed at the collection of memorabilia which is carefully labelled stating the era of use, who owned and who donated the item. President David Brand recently visited the National Trust head office to discuss future funding to extend our building. However he was asked to visit a museum which has gone digital and saw how their memorabilia was stored away in a shed with the so called museum having photos and verbal or written information for visitors to peruse. We really don’t agree with all the museum’s beautiful items being put away in a shed. Do you? Hopefully you are able to support Tumby Bay Museum by putting a donation in the donation tin at the RSL 100 year celebration or in the museum when you visit soon. Fund raising ourselves seems to be the only way we can extend our building. Locals continue to donate items relevant to the district and local families. On display we have a beautiful black wedding dress worn by Edna Ramsay’s mother and you have to see it, and other dresses, to believe just how elegant clothes were in the past. These glass bottles were donated and you can’t compare them with the horrible plastic we have now. Come and have a look for yourself. You will be surprised!

There were thirteen members present for our latest meeting and AGM; held on Wednesday 5th February 2020.
Acting EO DON; Sara Kempster told us that her position had been extended until the application for a new and permanent DON had been accepted. As the position has been advertised, we hope the new Director of Nursing, is appointed very soon for our Hospital.
Sara also told us that work on the new perimeter fence at Uringa Hostel has begun and it is hoped that the job will be finished before the end of February.
Work is also to begin on a new pergola, to be erected in the central courtyard at the Hospital, also within this month.
Anne Hall AM and Bob Heath both representing LEHAC told us that very informal planning has begun for remodelling of two bathrooms in the Hospital. Auxiliary will be kept informed as this process matures.

If you need the services of our Auxiliary, please contact any of our committee members or the appropriate person for your situation.
Our Auxiliary caters a morning tea, afternoon tea or luncheon for varied functions in the community, including birthdays', funerals' and anniversaries.
I have been asked to stress a VERY IMPORTANT point:
If you or a loved one are considering, giving a donation or bequest to either Tumby Bay Hospital or Uringa Hostel; then please make sure that it is directed to—Treasurer - Tumby Bay Hospital & Uringa Auxiliary Inc. to ensure that the donation is secured. Otherwise your donation may be diverted and lost somewhere in the SA Health system because neither the Hospital nor Uringa have their own bank accounts. Our current Treasurer has set up individual accounts for both of these within the Auxiliary's main bank account and has directed to hold all monies at Bendigo Bank -Tumby Bay District Community Bank Branch.
Your attention to these details will be very much appreciated and ensure that all of your wishes are fulfilled.
Our next Auxiliary meeting will be held on Wednesday 4th March in the Community Health meeting room at the Medical centre at 1.30pm.
We hope to see you there. Carolyn Thompson
Secretary
Uringa Hostel Dementia Garden
Special thanks to all local businesses, volunteers and Uringa staff, residents and their families for all the timeless effort in developing the new Dementia garden.
This garden was made possible with the help of a grant through Rowan Ramsey Stronger Communities voluntary work.
This has given our residents a sense of well being and sensory stimulation. It also adds to their quality of life by enjoying our new environment.
The garden was nominated as a finalist in the SA Health Ministers Community Awards.
Our security fence has commenced construction and will provide a secure and safe area for our residents and staff.
The Uringa residents, families and staff invite the community to attend our Open Day on 27th March 2020 at 1.30pm which will be officially opened by Honorable Member Mr Rowan Ramsey MP.
Many Thanks from the Uringa staff

Planning is happening to simply, revamp the church hall to make it more inviting and comfortable for morning teas, meeting, visitors to use and enjoy. This will be at a minimal or no cost with upcycling, using what we already have available and a busy-bee sewing day to put it all together.
If anyone has used postage stamps these can be donated and left in the specific container in the church hall or the special box in the Post Office. Stamps will be forwarded by St Margaret’s to Anglicare to fund missions.
We too (like many others) also have a donation container to receive bread tags. These are forwarded to the town Library and used to raise funds for wheelchairs.
The Fridge Street Library has proved to be very well used with a quick turnover of popular books and magazines, videos and DVD’s. This is a free community service and everyone is welcome to use this facility. It has proved popular with both tourists and locals.

Zonta Club Of Lower Eyre
The Zonta Group of Lower Eyre finished 2019 with a very
successful fundraiser at the Tumby Bay Markets with a
plant, sausage roll, biscuit and book stall. Lots of gardens
will continue to flourish with the many potted plants that
were sold. We thank all members for their input, especially
Ann Baillie for her ideas and inspiration.
We were pleased to present our annual Zonta Awards to
two girls who showed leadership and supported fellow
female students during the year.
Kayla Slater from Cummins Area School and Aja Coles
from Tumby Bay Area School were our 2019 worthy
recipients. We wish to thank Sandy McCallum for presenting
the award at the Tumby Bay end of year assembly
Our Christmas Dinner at the Cummins Hotel was well
attended and enjoyed by our members with a lively Kris
Kringle gift giving.
We celebrated and honoured the achievements of Zontian,
Amelia Earhart, an aviator and advocate of Women’s Rights
this year, with a Brunch at the Port Lincoln Airport on
January 18th . Our guest speaker, Sue Chappell, spoke of
her early love of flying and how the dream became a reality.
With her husband and family they visited many places and
saved countless hours compared to travelling over land.
A prize was given for the longest flight made by a paper
plane plus raffle and lucky door prizes. A delicious brunch
was served by Helen and her helpers at Eyre Café.
Everyone enjoyed the morning and we wish to thank those
who attended and everyone who helped make this event
such an enjoyable occasion.

A Soldier’s Story Written by Geoff Stewart
Service No: WW1: WW2: S67742
Name: Aleric George DICK Nickname: Alec
Aleric (Alec) was born on 12 November 1900 at Mundoora (SA) to Thomas Dick and Alice Edith Dick (nee Cooper). He was
the eldest of 10 children in the family, 7 boys and 3 girls. His family lived at Mundoora SA, where his father was a farmer.
The family moved to Brooker in 1913. After the droughts followed by the floods of 1914 - 16 the family relocated to Warratta
Vale in 1917 and share farmed for Mr Monfries.
Aleric went to school at the Brooker Provisional School, which had been opened in 1912, leaving after completing Grade 7.
He then worked on the farm at Warratta Vale, until his enlistment in the Army on 3 November 1918 at Port Lincoln. At the
time he gave his occupation as Labourer and his address as Warratta Vale.
After enlistment he was sent to Adelaide for processing at the Adelaide Town Hall before being sent to Mitcham Camp for
basic training, apparently being attached to Base Light Horse. However the Armistice was signed on 11 November 1918 and
he was then granted leave on 12 November 1918 to return to Tumby Bay whilst awaiting the finalisation of his discharge “due
to the cessation of hostilities”, which was completed on 18 November 1918.
He remained on the farm at Warratta Vale until the early 1920s before leaving for Elliston, undertaking general labouring in
that area. It was whilst here that he met and married Mary Edith Enright on 1 May 1923 at Polda (near Kyancutta).
The couple started their family at Elliston before moving to Kyancutta and opening a store. They had their second child at this
location. Unfortunately his wife died on 9 October 1927 and with two young children he had little option but to sell the
business.
On 1 October 1932 Aleric remarried to Marjorie Fraser Cameron of Adelaide. He returned to the Tumby Bay/Port Neill area
and operated a carrier business after purchasing a Berlie Truck and trailer unit. It was a solid rubber tyred outfit and was
capable of carrying very heavy loads for its time. The unit became well known in the area. He continued in this business unti l
the mid1930s and then moved to Adelaide with his family and opened a green grocer business at Kilkenny (SA). His two
sons went to school at Kilkenny.
He re-enlisted in the Army on 13 January 1942 and was posted to 1st Battalion (Bn), Volunteer Defence Corps (VDC); this
unit was known as the Western Region Bn. The VDC was an Australian part-time volunteer military force of World War II
modelled on the British Home Guard. It was established in July 1940 by the RSL and was initially composed of ex-
servicemen who had served in World War I. The Federal Government took over control of the VDC in May 1941, and
expanded the role of the Corps to training for guerrilla warfare, collecting local intelligence and providing static defence of
each Bn home area. Following the outbreak of the war in the Pacific, the Government increased the VDC in February 1942.
Membership was opened to men aged between 18 and 60, including those working in reserved occupations. As a result, the
VDC reached a total strength of almost 100,000 in units across Australia. As the threat to Australia declined the VDC's role
changed from static defence to operating anti-aircraft artillery, coastal artillery and searchlights. Members of inland VDC units
were freed from having to attend regular training in May 1944 and the VDC was officially disbanded on 24 August 1945.
Aleric returned full time to the store and remained there until his death on 8 November 1960. He was cremated and his ashes
interred in Centennial Park at Springbank
