OCTOBER 2014 FESTIVAL IN THE FIELD @ Barley Stacks Winery 159 Lizard Park Drive, Maitland SA 5573 Saturday 29th November, 2014 10am—4pm $5 Entry—Door prizes FOOD MUSIC WINE TASTING FASHION PARADE COOKING DEMONSTRATION FATHER CHRISTMAS ARTS & CRAFT KIDS CORNER SMOKEY KOALA Great time to start your Christmas Shopping www.maitlandsa.com (08) 8832 2174 Issues of the Maitland Matters can be viewed online at: www.maitlandsa.com Maitland and District Progress Association Inc 3 Robert Street (Old RSL Hall), Maitland, SA 5573 Ph: 88322174 Fax: 88322794 E-Mail: chatt@internode.on.net www.maitlandsa.com President’s Report Aug 2014 Progress is actively working on some new ideas especially with businesses and trying to get momentum on some older ideas. Mark Hector is finalising the new Town Map to be placed on the block next to the ANZ Bank where visitors to the town can locate residences but especially businesses. If your business has not got your details to Mark or the CHATT Centre, please pass them on now so we can ensure you are shown clearly on the map. A draft can be viewed at the CHATT Centre. This is free. In Maitland Matters, we want to feature one Maitland Business per month so you can tell us all what you do, especially if you have a new angle or something that is not well known. Jane’s Country Reflections is first cab off the rank in this issue of MM, but you can be next. Please supply 2-4 paragraphs to the CHATT Centre for us to give you free publicity locally. We are initiating discussion with the businesses on Maitland Discount Vouchers. Once The CHATT Centre Information Sign and Maitland Markets stop visitors in the town, we want them to visit the markets, use local businesses and stay locally (hotels, bed and breakfasts, free overnight parking or the Caravan park(s)). Discount vouchers (such as free coffee with a meal for interstate driver’s licence) might help encourage them to stay and spend in the town. Grey Nomads are likely to spread the word over UHF and wherever they gather. If your business would like to be in it, even perhaps just every third month, please contact the CHATT Centre. Given recent publicity regarding my fibreglass dinosaurs, we are planning to get them on display in the CHATT Centre and sell a range of dinosaur merchandise to raise funds for Progress. The first two dinosaurs can be seen at Jane’s Country Reflections where they are visiting this month. Hopefully we can attract visitors to the town using these as a drawcard, and the visitors will stay and spend. Other businesses may care to extend the Dinosaur theme which could become unique to Maitland and give us something special in the State. The CHATT CENTRE will be going PINK this October as part of Cancer Awareness month. Drop by for a look and a chat. And we are gearing up for the Festival in the Fields (an upgraded and extended version of the old Craft fair) to be held at Barley Stacks on Sat 29 Nov. Dinosaurs will be in attendance, and a great programme of local entertainment on the stage. Come along and complete your Christmas shopping. We are keen to finish off the part complete Cycling and Walking Trails around the town and area, and are looking for a Service Club or other partner to help. Most of the ground work is complete. If you are good at signage, signage construction and installation, brochure composition and publicity printing, please contact the CHATT Centre. We are also keen to upgrade the existing Historic Walk (the story signs outside businesses in Maitland) and are trying to locate the original Art Work. If you were involved in the original project and can help us, please contact the CHATT Centre. Quite a few great things happening. We meet third Thursday of the month (CHATT CENTRE 7.30pm) if you want to get involved or make your point of view. Book Quiz organised by CYP Community Library & friends Dressed as characters from their favourite books, year R-7 pupils from Maitland’s Area School enthusiastically joined in the Book quiz. The activity was supported by the Friends of Central Yorke Peninsula Community Library who donated the prize of $100 as well kept the score and asked the questions. The quiz was the idea of librarian Dee Moloney as an inter-house competition that revolved around a love of books. Dee reminded the audience that reading is important because it: provides mental stimulation, increases knowledge and memory, reduces stress, improves our focus and concentration as well as extends our vocabulary. Borrowing books from the library is free and so reading is accessible to everyone. Each house, the Eagles and the Sharks, put forward a team with one pupil from each of the R -7 classes. The teams include Captain Under Pants, Harry Potter, the Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, Alice in Wonderland, Where’s Wally and Mr Bump. The range of characters and ability to answer questions from a range of children’s books demonstrated the kid’s passion for reading. After starting well the Sharks had to admit defeat to the fast answering Eagles. However, everyone was a winner with all attending receiving a cup cake from the special Book Quiz cake made by Sarah and Emma Atkins. “We all had great fun dressing up and organising the quiz, which was received with great excitement by the kids, so hopefully we will be able to run this event again next year,” said Dee. MAITLAND BOWLING CLUB The Maitland Bowling Club celebrates its eightieth year in 2014. The following information of this history was obtained from “S.A. BOWLER MAGAZINE, APRIL 1970”. “The M.B.C. started in 1934 after some residents had played on a private rink owned by Mr. R.W. Arrowsmith who was then the clerk of District Council. He had put down this rink in 1930. A meeting was held on January 15th, 1934, to form a club and land was leased from the Corporation of Maitland, for the purpose of building a green. In 1948, a Ladies Bowling Club was formed, and the then Community Centre, extended the idle croquet green, which was next to the original green to a nine rink green for their use.” On Tuesday, 7th October 2014, the M.L.B.C. will be holding its Annual Invitation Fours Day, and will include a small ceremony in recognition of the club’s achievement in reaching 80 years of bowling enjoyment. The M.B.C. will celebrate this milestone of the club during their Xmas Dinner in December 2014. Well wishes to M.B.C. members, Laurette Thomson, Helen Adey and Rob Arthur. 5th 12th 19th 26th Anglican Church Service Times for October Maitland Port Victoria Ardrossan Point Pearce 9.00am 11.00am 11.00am No service 11.00am No Service 4.00pm 2.00pm 9.00am 11.00am 9.00am No service 9.00am 11.00am 4.00pm No service RSL Port Victoria Sub-Branch Fundraising: The RSL Port Victoria is a small Sub-Branch with a limited number of members, who volunteer their time to RSL and community matters.

Get to know your High Street – brought to you by Maitland & District Progress Association Much more than a retro café. After 30 years of nursing Jayne Arthur has achieved her dream of running a shop. Entering Vintage Country Reflections, which opened at 40 Robert Street in April, is like taking a trip down memory lane. It contains an eclectic mix of decor and items for sale from the 60s, 70s and 80s. If you want a groovy cup or even a retro fancy-dress costume - look no further. What certainly is not ‘Vintage’ are the refreshments and locally made sweet and savoury snacks. However some of these are old favourites often only found on trading tables, others include Greek specialties such as baklava. Vintage Country Reflections is becoming a popular meeting place hosting several groups including a monthly book club. Jayne is also running after school and school holiday art, craft and gardening classes for kids. Enquire at the shop for more details. A new Wednesday night time activity 'Nanna Nights', commences after daylight saving starts. These free activities will bring together young and old to share skills such as knitting, crocheting, and embroidery. Normal opening hours are Wednesday to Friday 9-4 and 10-2 on weekends and public holidays. But open or closed make sure you take a look the window display which changes every month and is arranged by a local business that does not have a shop front. So sit back in a comfy chair with freshly brewed coffee or tea, or a Belgium hot chocolate, relax in the sun under the veranda with friends or come and learn new skills in this unique atmosphere created by Jayne at Vintage Country Reflections.

Mr. W.O. Mullner has been appointed agent for Messrs E. Buckerfield & Sons of Port Victoria, and on Wednesday the first load of wheat was brought to him by Mr. E.F. Moloney. The variety was Federation and was a good sample, weighing 7 pounds overweight.” STORING WHEAT 13/4/1934 “In response to an enquiry, Mr. W.J. Spafford (Deputy Director of Agriculture) has advised that wheat can be stored in an underground tank with perfect safety, provided no water creeps into the tank through cracks in the walls. If the top of the tank can be sealed so that the receptacle is airtight the wheat can be kept for an indefinite time without any fear of deterioration or attack by weevils or other insects. Given a waterproof tank, the wheat should be poured into it from the bags and the nearer to filling the tank right to the top the better. When the full amount of wheat has been run in, a lighted candle should be placed on top of the loose wheat and sealed down in some way. The burning candle will use up all the free oxygen in the air-space above the grain when it will extinguished, and provided the lid was made quite air-tight the grain will keep as sound and bright as when put in the tank for a great number of years.” Beryl Neumann The Yorke Peninsula Health Advisory Council Inc will hold its ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Wednesday 5 November 2014 at 2:00 pm in the Community Room, Minlaton Community Health, located on South Terrace, Minlaton All members of the public are welcome to attend As provided by the Yorke Peninsula Health Advisory Council Inc.

We try to maintain a happy atmosphere, especially around the morning tea table, thanks to our volunteers. Andrew & Judith Mack PROPRIETORS PO Box 8, 25 Robert Street Maitland SA 5573 Tel 08 88322611 Fax 08 88322006 Catholic Church MAITLAND ARDROSSAN ARTHURTON 2nd & 4th Sundays 1st & 3rd Sunday 5th Sunday All services are at 11am Where Are They Now…. The Hallett Family Anne & Peter currently live & work in Maitland, however their children: Ryan 25 & Suzanne 22yrs are both based in Adelaide. Peter has an established business as the local Tax Accountant, with his office in Elizabeth Street. Anne also works there as a bookkeeper. As a family business, it has employed many of the Hallett & Bridgman family at one point or other. It’s probably easiest to start with Ryan & Suzi from their final school years. Ryan was Head Prefect & completed year 12 at Maitland Area School in 2006. To fill in that summer, he worked in Fenwick’s Bakery, Maitland, as a baker for Mark & Susan Fenwick & just for fun, one day made a giant sausage roll in the shape of a pretzel- just to see if it would work! Ryan commenced study at UniSA in 2007 doing Media Arts- Website Design, at the Magill campus. 2008 Uni break, Ryan travelled to New York & Colorado for a ski holiday with a university mate, which gave him the travel bug from then on. Meanwhile, Suzanne attended MAS in that year until mid Yr 11, when she moved to St Marks Catholic College, Port Pirie for mid-week boarding to finish yr 11 & year 12 in 2009. On weekends in Maitland, she played winter hockey for Sandilands women & tennis for Winulta (sometimes with Ryan). The long drives between home and Pt Pirie enabled her to easily qualify for her P licence so that she could then drive herself! After Yr 12 graduation, she moved home again and was accepted to Adelaide Uni for 2010. She deferred to 2011, took a gap year & worked locally for: Maitland IGA as a “checkout chick”, Maitland Hotel as a waitress & in dad’s office as the admin receptionist. She also continued to enjoy playing local hockey & tennis. During Ryan’s 3 years in Adelaide at UniSA, he worked casually for a sportstore in Firle, enjoyed playing winter hockey in Adelaide and local tennis occasionally for Winulta (here on YP). He completed his Media Arts degree in 2009 and then worked as a bartender at The Norwood Hotel. Over the next 12 months, he worked in Falls Creek, Vic in hospitality and Melbourne as a bartender at The Sebel Albert Park, until he’d saved enough money to again go overseas in January 2011 for 4 months to Europe & Canada with an Adelaide hockey mate. On returning to Oz, he settled in Melbourne with his current partner, Cate. They both went off to work at Mt Hotham for the 2011 snow season, returning again to Melbourne to both resume hotel work. Circumstances then changed for the Hallett’s in July, 2011, when Peter had a heart attack & surgery. Suzi had moved to Broadview to live in a share house and had just begun her 3 year degree in Animal Science at Adelaide University (Roseworthy Campus). Being based at the North Terrace Campus for her first year allowed Suzi to visit her dad in the Royal Adelaide Hospital nearly every day (and skip a few dull lectures!) In October of that year, she enjoyed representing her University in women’s field hockey at the University Games on the Gold Coast. Ryan moved home to SA to work in Peter’s accountancy firm & Cate also re-located from Melbourne and gained employment at Disability SA, Kadina. They lived in Balgowan throughout 2012 and enjoyed their sea-change immensely. Ryan playing winter hockey for Sandilands & tennis for Winulta in the summer, but travel was still in their blood, with trips taken to Fiji and New Zealand. During this time, Ryan also completed a course in Business Admin Cert 3 at Kadina TAFE. From this, he was approached to start his own web design business as part of a NEIS program to promote new business in SA and he built up a steady clientele while also working part-time . In 2012, Suzi secured a 6 week Adelaide University summer scholarship as a second year student, learning valuable laboratory techniques and, writing and graphing past research data for current honours students projects. This sparked her interest in research & she started to think seriously about further study. She returned home to YP during the summer on most weekends to continue playing tennis for Winulta and swapped to Adelaide Uni for winter hockey in the city. Ryan & Cate decided to move on once Peter was back on his feet again. In January 2013, Cate gained employment at the National Art Gallery, Adelaide, and they both moved to the city. Ryan continued his website business from home in Mile End, until he started full-time work with The CMV Group (Head Office)on West Tce, Adelaide in Aug, 2013 as Marketing Co-ordinator for Web & Social Media (which is still current). Ryan also completed his training as a volunteer SA Ambulance officer during 2013 (which had just been approved through Maitland Station prior to his move to the city). He started playing winter hockey again for an Adelaide Uni mens team & even had a go at ice hockey! Most recently in July, 2014, they bought a home in the suburb of Eden Hills and took a month’s holiday to the UK (where Ryan met most of Cate’s relatives), Greece & France, and have now settled back into work in Adelaide. Suzi completed her Animal Science Degree in 2013, finishing the year by holidaying in New Zealand with college school friends for a well-earned break. She was really excited to visit Hobbiton & the Weta Workshop and all things “Lord of the Rings” while she was there. She is currently finalizing her Honours Degree this year, studying & researching domestic dog behaviour & cognition- through an affiliation with a researcher with the Central Qld University (CQU), and thoroughly enjoying it. (It should be mentioned, ironically, that Suzi didn’t ever take much interest in Scooter, their own dog, when she lived home!) She has always been a reluctant city dweller and misses the country life. She still hopes to someday come home to YP. The family have always been very sport orientated. Peter currently plays golf & lawn bowls for the Maitland clubs & has been the President of the Maitland Bowls Club for the past and the coming season. Anne has settled for less strenuous activities due to a few old, & some new injuries, and spends spare time gardening, walking their mini schnauzer dog, Scooter, and organizing their recently acquired beach house. They are both looking forward to beach breaks this summer if the renovations ever get finalized!

All 27 Volunteer that were present along with the Great Speaker - David Smith from MOWSA Head Office thought it a great idea & voted that it be done again for next year’s AGM. David Smith was busy that day as he not only spoke to the group, but also presented 15yr Life Membership Badges to those volunteer’s at the meeting, gave a 15 yr birthday wheel to the branch which was accepted by chairperson Nancy Rawlings, presented thankyou gifts to Laurette Thomson & Deb Lodge for their service as Client Service Officer & Secretary and finally conducted the election of Office bearers. Laurette Thomson was presented with her thankyou gift in appreciation of 15 yrs as Client Service Officer (previously known as Welfare Officer). Her commitment and dedication to this role allowed many people in the district access to Meals on Wheels. The Maitland Branch is very grateful for her service in that role. Office Bearers for 2014/15 are Chairperson Nancy Rawlings, Vice John Koenders, Secretary and Volunteer coordinator Judy Gerschwitz. Treasurer - Heather Ramsey. Client Service Officer – Jill Moody. Assistant – Laurette Tomson. Kitchen Co-ordinator – Val Kelly. Committee members – Faye Roesler, Irene Hughes-Jones, Merrilyn Allen, May Sandercock, Helyn Tucker & Deb Lodge. All present could now relax after the Branch elections and settle down to listen to David Smith talk about MOWSA. As he was the last year’s AGM, David assured us that due to the extensive media campaign through television, cinema and radio, MOWSA was alive and kicking as queries on how to become a Volunteer and MOW’s profile had increased. He also had a printout of the amount of meals each branch had supplied since 1999 which showed Maitland’s total 93,969. The total meals for 2013/14 was 4074 and the daily average was 16. This isn’t bad considering our client numbers vary from 14-22 a year. The larger metropolitan branches can deliver up to 180 meals a day. David also expressed many thanks to all the Volunteers for their wonderful service to MOWS. In closing the meeting Chairperson Nancy Rawlings thanked David and gave him a gift for travelling over and speaking at the AGM. Nancy also wished the Volunteers and Office bearers all the best for 2014/15 and hoped to see everyone back for next year’s AGM. L to R Nancy Rawlings - Chairperson, Deb Lodge - retiring secretary, David Smith head office MOW and Laurette Thomson - retiring Client Service Officer. CYP Branch of the National Trust The Central Yorke Peninsula Branch of the National Trust held it’s annual meeting in August after another busy year preserving and recording the history of the local area. Highlights of the year included the presentation of a Distinguished Service award to Ken Heinrich at the State Conference in November last year; our trip to Bublacowie Museum, taking part in the Maitland Show and Maitland Art & Craft Fair, and our visitors, individuals and groups – most recently the U3A YP group – who are usually surprised by the size and scope of our displays. Harvey Smart was re-elected as Chairman, Jeanette Heinrich as Secretary and Ken Heinrich as Treasurer – having now completed 40 years in the position! Guest Speaker was Stuart Moody, who in 2012 launched his book “Port Victoria’s Ships and Shipwrecks.” Stuart outlined the history of shipping there and of the overseas windjammers. He told of his research, his correspondence with people and museums around the world and visits to many places in his efforts to tell the story. Over 300 people attended the launch of the book at Port Victoria in 2012, including six of the remaining Cape Horners. His book won the Book Printing Award presented by the Printing Industries Association in 2012. Congratulations. We look forward to another busy and productive year. Why don’t you join us?

Maitland & Districts Garden Club Inc The September meeting was held at Kadina at Clare Bettess home. Clare and Alan are the owners of Memoree House which was absolutely amazing to see. We went on a tour of each room which was set up full of collectables from yester year bringing back memories of our own childhood. The glassware and china were beautiful plus the old kitchen, laundry and bathroom collectables. The tour was followed by a lovely Devonshire tea. Then it was on to explore the gardens and the sheds full of vintage cars and caravans. We all arrived back at Maitland weary but full of delight. Many thanks to Clare and Alan. Spring is in the air! Time for us gardeners to grab a cuppa and explore our gardens and reap the rewards of our winter work. It is great to discover new bulbs and plants that seem to pop up overnight – lovely!
