From the Desk
Well here we are the first month of winter, hasn’t the year
gone so quickly again. Do you realize it’s only 6 months until
Christmas! What a thought!
We have a really nice soup on page 10, Chicken
Wonton, it promises to warm the cockles of your heart on a
gloomy day.
Winter has brought some very welcome rain to our area, the
soil should be really damp after some heavy rain in the past
week or so. That means healthy crops, plenty for the animals
to eat and of course plenty more weeds to clear up.
Page 15 continues with the many uses for WD-40, what a
magical formula it is. We hope that it helps you fix a few things
around the home.
This edition of The Grapevine features a local, Craig Goodwin
of whom we are all very proud. He is pictured on the front
page along with an article on page 4 which outlines he soccer
career . His father Tony assures us that he will keep us up to
date with Craig’s move to Holland.
On page 6 we have an article about Charles David Tamblyn
whose name now appears on our World War 1 Honour Roll
and Monument as he was a resident of One Tree Hill, his
history is very interesting.
The Police report on page 8 is quite short this month which is
really pleasing, it must be because we all keep a look out for
strange vehicles in odd places. Keep up the good work won’t
you and report anything you find to be suspicious.
Gardening for this month features succulents, it is on page 17,
there are some tips on planting them into pots as well as your
garden. Page 17 also has 13 things that toddlers can get away
with but we can’t, it’s quite funny.
Page 18 is all about bananas, it truly is amazing what you can
do with banana skins, we can’t wait to try them out and hope
that you give some of the tips a go as well. We have included a
beautiful recipe for Banana Caramel Cake Roll as well.
Our regular contributors have their reports and articles
to read and we have several new advertisers this month.
It’s always good to see the ads in because this contributes to
the printing costs associated with this publication.
Until next month, The Grapevine Team.

We hope that you like our assortment of funnies and sayings
throughout The Grapevine, nothing like something to tickle
our funny bones is there?
President’s Report May 2016
5114.
After checking with the DVA in Canberra and the City of
Playford Heritage Coordinator, the Association has
promptly attended to this matter. The metal soldier with
the QR code outside of the hall includes Charles as
being a resident of One Tree Hill.
You may have noticed that the War Memorial at the front
of the hall has been taken down for some much needed
maintenance. By the time the Grapevine is delivered it
should be back in place with the repairs done and the
addition of Charles David Tamblyn, a One Tree Hill
resident who was killed in France in 1918.
We look forward to these projects being completed
promptly.
The Progress Association has also contacted a Brass
Smith to clean and refurbish the Honour Roll which
hangs inside the hall, it is being updated as it is
currently barely legible.
We are also researching alternatives to the current
audio facilities in the hall - they need to be upgraded to
allow modern data equipment to be used for digital/
graphic presentations.
We are grateful that a local resident who is a relative of
Charles Tamblyn brought to the attention of Progress
that his name should rightly be on our Monument and
Honour Roll as he was born and lived his life at Humbug
Scrub.
This will appeal to potential hirers and is in response to
numerous requests.
Thanks and Regards, Ian Slater, President.

ONE TREE HILL GRAPEVINE
CFS REPORT MAY 2016
Incident Report
A busier month this month with several vehicle accidents, one involving a near head-on collision on Yorktown Road
where occupants were lucky to escape unharmed. There were a couple of callouts to burn offs and also an unusual
call to assist other emergency services in Largs North when the storm surge and high tide threated low lying
properties during the storm on the 9th May. Note: In the case of a burn-off even though you may have done all the
right things, if we receive a call we are obliged to attend.
In the most significant event, a call to a seemingly innocuous grass fire on Yorktown Road around 7.20pm turned
into an all night Hazardous Materials (Hazmat) incident. Crews arriving on the scene found a small fire burning by
the side of the road and putting up a lot of smoke. They quickly realised that this was not just a pile of burning
rubbish when attempts to extinguish the flames using water were not successful. Certain chemicals actually react
with water and put off gases that will burn and make a fire worse. Confronted with this situation crews immediately
pulled back until the substance could be identified.
The CFS Hazmat protocol was put into place and Black Top Road was closed because of the uncertainty of the
material burning and the toxins that may be in the smoke cloud. Hazmat units from Dalkeith and Athelstone took
charge of the situation and the incident was finally wrapped up just before dawn the following morning. Over the
night units from Police, Ambulance, Fire and chemical were involved. Even the Council were called out to dig out a
square of bitumen where the contaminant had penetrated the surface.
Two lessons learnt: (1) Never breathe in smoke especially where you are uncertain what is burning. Most burning
chemicals and plastics give off noxious gases and this particularly causes problems for the public in house fires
where the gases given off by burning furnishings are toxic. (2) There are facilities available to dispose of unwanted
chemicals, dumping should never be an option.
With winter just around the corner, we have already had several foggy days and it is surprising to see how
many drivers do not change their driving style to adapt to the conditions.
In fog, turn your lights on and please give the driver in front plenty of room.
For general information please contact One Tree Hill Duty Phone on 8280 7055.

Councillor’s May Report
A
s expected the ANZAC day commemorations event
went to plan and resulted in a greater number of people
attending, including a group of young children, who
added that little bit of extra significance to the event
with their stirring rendition of our National Anthem, well done
guys it’s warming to hear your voices and witness your heart
felt motivation and involvement, you should be proud of
yourselves as I am proud of our community and the One Tree
Hill Progress Association, who work tirelessly to make the event
a huge success and appear to run seamlessly, congratulations
and thanks to all involved.
Angle Vale residents have formed a group to stop the
introduction of smaller allotments within their township and
surrounding areas. I cannot comment on this as I am a panel
member on Council’s Development Assessment Panel (CDAP)
and I do not want to be seen as having a position on allotment
sizes. However, if there is a lesson to be learnt from Angle
Vale’s circumstances, it is, have your say when the public
notification process is in progress.
The 30 year plan was a Ministerial Development Plan
Amendment which covered many areas in the State and went
through a three to four year period before being signed off on
by the Minister, and gazetted it Legislation. Council and its
CDAP are now obliged to work within the parameters of that
legislation.
The PUBLIC CONSULTATION period for the community to view
and have a say on Council’s Draft Long Term Financial Plan,
Asset Management Plan and Strategic Delivery (City) Plan
expired on the 24th May climaxing in an opportunity for
residents to have their say. Three brave individual ratepayers
faced the elected member body talking about the need to have
another oval at Angle Vale, the plight of individual ratepayers
struggling to meet daily commitments with reference made to
the exorbitant fees elected members get paid to represent their
electorate. The plan will now be adopted and the rates increased
in line with 4.5% increase sought in order to provide a small part
of the wish list identified as needed or wanted by the ratepayer.
I am a bit factious here because I do feel for those struggling to
make ends meet in our community, but also find myself torn to
balance the needs and wants of the ratepayer, whilst delivering
infrastructure and measurements to maintain confidence and
investment (Jobs) in our City.
If you have any concerns or issues with or about our City,
please in the first instance phone Council’s 24 hour phone
number 8256 0333 and or email:
playford@playford.sa.gov.au , and cc your email to me
at crjfederico@plyford.sa.gov.au . When speaking to
Council please remember to get a Customer Reference
Number to ensure registration, and easy identification of your
communication. If you have a pressing concern you can talk
to me at the Country Market, or pop a noted into my letter box
or email me. It would be appreciated if you put your concerns
in writing.
Last month I talked about the lack of progress at the Kersbrook
Roundabout, this month I am glad to say that work is
progressing and hopefully targets and timelines will be met.
The benefits come from the construction/existence of the
roundabout, not by how quickly it is completed, however sooner
rather than later will be appreciated.

You may remember we did an article about
local lad Craig Goodwin in July 2012. We also
did an update on his career in 2013.
Upon his return to Australia Craig was then called up by the Socceroos
Squad to compete in the East Asia Cup tournament, he made his debut in a
match against Japan.
Just to recap, Craig’s parents, Tony and Jenni
said that as a toddler he always had a ball at
his feet. Even as a 2 year old his Aunts and
Uncles would laugh at the fact that a ball was
never far from Craig. As he got older he spent
endless hours practicing and shooting for
goals. The poor old fence at One Tree Hill has
now been replaced after many years of taking a
battering. Craig also spent many hours at
McGilp Oval practising with either his brother,
cousins or friends. After moving from
Craigmore to One Tree Hill as a 10 year old he
first played football (soccer) for Munno Para
City Soccer Club, as a 4 year old in the under
6’s and gradually progressed to the under 12’s
team. He stayed with Munno Para and he made
the Elizabeth & Districts representative side for
under 11 and under 12 sides.
Eventually Craig’s big break came when Adelaide United coach Josep
Gombau asked him to join them. Craig’s career then blossomed under
Josep and the Spanish influence led to a great season with them.
Craig then went to Para Hills Soccer Club from
under 13’s to under 15’s. He continued his
soccer with Enfield City under 19’s. Many a
time he made appearances with the reserves
and in the senior squad as a 15 and 16 year
old. As time progressed he joined the Super
League outfit Raiders at Gepps Cross playing
for their senior team.
Craig had a trial with Crystal Palace under 16’s
academy team in England, and only missed out
on a spot because he was 3 months too old. He
trialled with the under 18’s the following year
and was very close to being selected. He then
went to Scotland where he trialled for their
academy team and was offered a spot to start
the following June. Unfortunately the club’s
board took the drastic step to cull the academy
to save money, and in this case it voided
Craig’s contract just 24 hours before he was
due to leave Australia.
This year under a new coach Spanish legend Guillermo Amor, Craig’s
playing went to another level again and after a slow start by the team
Adelaide United went on to win the Premiers Plate and then the A-League
Championship for 2015/2016. This was the first win for Adelaide United and
it was a packed house when the grand final was played here in Adelaide
against Western Sydney.
At the clubs presentation night a few weeks ago Craig won Adelaide
United’s Members player of the year award, he also won the Club Champion
the “Aurelio Vidmar” Medal.
Recently Craig signed a two year contract (with an option of a third year)
with Dutch Eredivisie side Sparta Rotterdam. He will compete against teams
the likes of Ajax, Feyenoord and PSV Eindhoven.
Craig was recently named in the Socceroos squad to play against England
in the UK in a friendly match on May 27th. (After we have gone to print)
This is an inspirational story of Craig’s career and goes to show that with
enough determination dreams can be achieved. So to all our aspiring
readers keep your eye on your goal, never give up and keep positive.
We all wish Craig the best and hope that he has a successful career with
Sparta Rotterdam. We’ll try to keep you up to date with his progress.
Special thanks to ‘Chris Kelly Photographics’ for allowing us to use some of
the photos he took.
Pictured below is Craig at the Sparta Rotterdam stadium just after he signed
Two years in a row Craig was cut from
Adelaide United youth team trials but Craig
never lost faith in his ability of chasing his
dream. Through a recommendation a coach
from Oakleigh Cannons in the Victorian
Premier League flew Craig across to Melbourne
and Craig trialled for 3 sessions and he was
signed up.
Whist with Oakleigh he impressed our
Australian soccer hero John Aloisi who was
the Melbourne Heart youth team coach at the
time. Aloisi told Craig that he wanted him for
their forthcoming season. Craig made his
debut for the senior team in the Derby game
against Melbourne Victory at AAMI Park in
front of 27,500 fans. The game ended in a draw,
but Craig received the man of the match in his
first game. This created a storm of questions
from commentators of “who is this kid” and
“where did he come from”.
The following season he joined Newcastle Jets
playing with team mates the likes of
Liverpool’s Emile Heskey and Leeds Michael
Bridges. In the time that Craig played with
Newcastle he impressed enough to be asked
over to England to trial with Reading Football
Club in the Premier League. Again he did
extremely well, but Reading FC were relegated
and a position was not available due to squad
size requirements.
SUCCESS IS NO ACCIDENT
It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice
and most of all, love of what you are doing. Pele.

He died at the 1st Australian Field Ambulance at 1.10am on the
30th June, 1918 of wounds (a shell perforated his abdomen
and right arm).
The story of Charles (known as Paddy) Tamblyn was
printed last year but due to his name being added to
the One Tree Hill Monument and Honour Roll as a
resident of One Tree Hill who was killed in
World War 1, we are reprinting the article this month
to inform those who may have missed it before.
He was buried the same day at Borre Military Cemetery,
France. A wooden cross with his name and regimental number
erected on the grave.
John Tamblyn (Paddy’s father) was born in Cornwall,
England in 1847 and arrived in Australia on a ship
called Lincoln in 1865. John worked as a miner and
fitter. He married Mary Cowie and they had the
following children:
Photographs of the grave were sent to the
family. His personal effects of disc, letters,
photo, tow combs, purse, YMCA wallet, book
of view, metal chain, German cap, pouch,
metal wrist watch, pipe, badge, cards and

Paddy as he was known enlisted on 26th October
1916 when he was 22 years old. He was assigned to
the 10th Infantry 23rd Reinforcements. Paddy had
once been rejected for the army as medically unfit.
Paddy embarked on the Berrima from Outer Harbour on the
16th December, 1916 and disembarked at Devonport,
England, two months later.
He had been in hospital on the ship, suffering from mumps.
He was then sent to a Training Battalion at Durrington. He

A young lad asks a 88 year old man the difference between young and old. He replied, “When you are young, you want to be the
master of your fate, and the captain of your soul. When you are older, you will settle for being the master of your weight and the
captain of your bowling team”!
The doctor tells his patient: “Well I have good news and bad news” The patient says,
“Lay it on me Doc, what’s the bad news?” Doctor “You have Alzheimer’s disease”,
“Good heavens, and what is the bad news?” the patient says.
Doc “ You can go home now and forget about it”!
As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his car phone rang.
Answering, he heard his wife’s voice urgently warning him,
“Herman, I just heard on the news that there is a car going the wrong way
on Highway 1, please be careful”.
Herman said “ It’s not just one car there are hundreds of them”

There are some very awkward spots that have nooks and
crannies you simply cannot access. That’s where Cleaning
Slime comes in handy!
(Note if you want Coloured Slime now is the time to add a few
drops of food colouring to the glue mixture). Once you have
mixed them up, combine both mixtures in one bowl and mix
together. You will now have a consistency that feels like slime.
It will be a wet feel at the moment so play around with it rolling
it and moulding it until it dries out. It should not be dripping
water. You know you have the right consistency when you can
place it on your bench and it lifts without leaving any residue.
Now all you have to decide is what will be the first job you are
going to do.
Just look at your computer keyboard for starters, it’s amazing
how much gunk is on the keys. The danger however is that it
ends up in falling behind the keys and in the end it will cause
your keys to simply seize up. Cleaning Slime is perfect for
those intricate jobs around the home and also your car. Yes
car, have you ever tried to clean your air vents or bits in
between the seats?
To make your Cleaning Slime you will need 2 tablespoons of
white glue (Clag is a good one), 1 tablespoon water, 4
tablespoons of Borax, 4 additional tablespoons of water. You
will require two bowls. In the first bowl mix the glue and 1
tablespoon of water and in the second bowl mix the Borax
and water.

Comments are now open for five new plants being
proposed for declaration as weeds under the Natural
Resources Management Act 2004 across South
Australia.
The plants proposed for state-wide prohibition from sale,
and for enforced control in some areas, are dune onion
weed, alisma, coastal tea-tree, giant reed and parrot
feather. All of these weeds threaten native habitats in the
Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges region.
Comments are also invited on a proposed revision of
policies for willows, feral olives and branched
broomrape.
“The proposed changes will help protect some stunning
landscapes in Adelaide and on the Fleurieu Peninsula
from weed invasion”, said Michaela Heinson who is
Regional Animal and Plant Control Coordinator with
Natural Resources Adelaide and Mt. Lofty Ranges.
‘One of the plants proposed for declaration, dune onion
weed; is an invasive plant which spreads to coastal sand
dunes and pastures. It can become dominant and
ultimately replace native species along coastlines,”
Ms. Heinson said.
The proposed changes include requiring landowners to
destroy dune onion weed plants growing on their land.
A number of coastal councils and the Adelaide and
Mount Lofty Ranges NRM Board have already put in
place control programs to reduce and hopefully
eradicated dune onion weed infestations.
“We would encourage all landowners to have their say
on new weed policies as they may have information vital
to our understanding of how a particular weed affects
the land, or concerns about how it is being managed”.

Wonton, which translates to ‘swallowing a cloud’, is a great
way to describe how light the dumplings
are. This is a quick, delicious, complete
meal that can be ready in minutes once
your dumplings are made. It’s healthy too.
Napa cabbage is traditional in wonton
soup but bok choy is lovely too as it gets
greener when cooked.
The key to making the wonton assembly go quickly is to have
everything lined up around your work area. Wonton
wrappers, the chicken fillet and a small bowl of water.
Precook the chicken in the sesame oil, just a quick cook as
the chicken will cook when added to the broth.
Ingredients:
500 grams of boneless skinless chicken breast, chopped
1 medium green onion chopped
¼ Teaspoon soy sauce
½ Teaspoon rice wine (optional)
1 Teaspoon fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
Small pinch of salt and pepper
¼ Teaspoon castor sugar
30 wonton wrappers
180 grams of baby bok choy or cabbage
3 cups Chicken stock
Additional ingredients: 1 Green onion, 3 thin slices of ginger,
¼ Teaspoon sesame oil, dash of soy sauce and sugar, plus
salt and pepper to taste.
Method:
In a food processor, add the chicken, chopped green onion,
soy sauce, rice wine, ginger, sugar and pepper. Pulse until
the meat is ground and comes together in a ball. On a clean
surface or cutting board, arrange the wanton wrappers. Have
a small bowl of water nearby. Spoon ½ teaspoon of the
chicken mixture into the centre of each wonton. Wet a finger
in the water and wet 2 edges of the wonton. With the wet
corner facing away from you, bring the left and right corners
around to meet at the bottom, press together. Use water to
help them stick. Set aside. Bring a saucepan of water to boil.
Blanch the boy choy or cabbage for 2 minutes, remove and
set aside. Drain the water. In the same saucepan, add the
chicken broth, additional ginger, sugar and salt and pepper
and simmer. Add wontons and simmer for 3 minutes. Serve
and garnish with green onions and a splash of sesame oil.
The wontons are suitable to freeze, if you have too many it
will make the soup quicker to make next time

The website includes a feedback form, summaries of the
proposed changes, draft policies for each weed,
frequently asked questions and fact sheets illustrating
the five new weeds.
Please note that submissions close on June 3rd 2016.

CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY NOW
Don’t procrastinate happiness, waiting for the mythical
future day when you finally have enough money, lose
enough weight, have the right job, there is
peace in the world and so forth.
Be happy first, and then you will attract all of
those circumstances.
Seems an elderly gentleman had serious hearing problems for
a number of years. He went to the doctor and the doctor was
able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the
gentleman to hear 100%. The elderly gentleman went back in a
month to the doctor and the doctor said “ Your hearing is
perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear
again”. To which the gentleman said, “Oh, I haven’t told my
family yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I’ve
changed my will three times in the last month”.
I recently changed my password to “incorrect” so whenever I
forget what it is the computer will say “YOU ARE

One Tree Hill Win 2nd Semi-Final - 1952
Present - Messrs. J. Bowman (Chairman), F. Bowman, G.Bowman,
A. Adams, E.A. Kelly, W. Kelly, H.H. Blackham, A. Thomas, and J.
Clucas (Hon. Secretary). The usual homestead meeting was held at
Glenburnie, the residence of Mr. F. Bowman, for the purpose of
inspecting the homestead and appointments.
By defeating Smithfield, One Tree Hill play Riverside
in the Gawler River Cricket Association Grand Final.
Stan and Reg Watson batted extremely well in an
opening partnership of 69 for Smithfield before the
former was caught by F. McKenzie.
As the section is very hilly, the roughest portion is reserved for
sheep, both mutton and wool of high quality being produced.
Where practicable the land is cultivated, the return being
generally satisfactory.
Wickets fell rapidly until the ninth when a valuable
28 runs were added.
Opening poorly One Tree Hill lost 3 for 20 before a 97 run
partnership came from 16 year old Ross McKenzie and
veteran Jim Clucas who earlier had bowled 20 overs to take
4 wickets for 67. He was not out 102 when the innings
closed. Causby also batted well, making 46.
The present season’s hay crop gave more than 2 tons to the acre.
To house hay Mr. Bowman has constructed a rough frame
structure of red gum posts and saplings into which the hay is
stacked, and then thatched with grass-tree. Other outdoor sheds
are similarly constructed.
Because of an accident in which a piece of steel lodged in his
eye, Smithfield wicket keeper R. Watson was unable to play.
The apiary at Glenburnie has been in existence for many years,
and now consists of nearly 200 hives, the most modern appliances
being used throughout. In order to supplement the natural bee
forage Mr. Bowman has been growing sunflowers and, although on
a small scale, the experiment has proved a distinct success.
Smithfield: 196 (R. Watson 53, S. Watson 40, F. Curnow 27,
J. Clucas 4/67, L. Power 4/36.
Water is laid on to the garden, a force pump being used to give the
necessary pressure. In a gully is an ingenious contrivance for
watering from a well about 15ft deep. This is in the shape of a
syphon, a kerosene tin being used as a supply cistern, and with a
short piece of hose or piping and a plug, the flow of water to a
dam sixty yards away, to which stock have easy access, is readily
regulated.
In the fruit garden the trees showed very strong growth; in fact, in
the opinion of members there was too much growth, and scientific
pruning was required to get a good setting of fruit.
After inspection members were entertained by Mr. and Mrs.
Bowman, and a vote of thanks brought an enjoyable and
instructive meeting to a close.

to join in all the activities they have to offer.
I was really hoping that now winter has set in some more children may find the time to write to the club.
Talking about winter, how do you like it now that outdoor activities are limited? I hope you are not spending too
much time playing games on computers.

One day we went to Sovereign Hill. We all
went to watch the man pour gold.
After he poured the gold he put it in water
because it was so hot.
Not long ago, we went to Sovereign Hill.
When we got there we booked all the
things like photos and mine tour.
We went gold panning and I found some
gold. I was surprised! The way you find
gold is you get a pan and make sure
there are no holes in it. Then you get a
shovel and dig down to the surface of the
creek. Once you have some muddy rocky
stuff, you hold the pan just below the
surface of the water and swirl it around.
Once you have got most of it out, you
look hard into the pan for gold. That’s
basically how you find gold in a river bed.
I’ll tell you about the lolly making next
month.
Joshua
Age 11
We look forward to hearing about your lolly
making in the next edition of The Grapevine

A: Because the chicken was on holidays!
It was that hot that when

gold, the stick caught fire.
Once it cooled down we
got to hold the gold.

When I stayed at Nana’s house she helped me
to make a dinosaur so that I could show my
friends at kindy.
That must have been very
interesting to watch Hannah.
We went to the goldfields steam train. I
stuck my head out of the window and saw a
man hanging out the train near the engine.
There was another train, a fast one on a
different track. We saw the engine turn
around on the turntable.

Horse Care - To Rug or Not to Rug?
I was recently asked “Why do we rug horses? When I was in
England I saw lots of horses living out in the snow”.

Natural coats: some breeds, especially Thoroughbreds,
Arabs and their derivatives, do not grow thick coats.
They need extra protection even if we do not clip them.

Age: wild horses are rarely old horses. With the extra
care we give our companion horses and ponies, they live
to much greater ages than those in the wild. But aged
animals feel the cold a lot more than youngsters.

Shelter: wild horses will find cliffs, small caves and/or
trees to shelter in and under. Our perfectly manicured
paddocks often do not have these things. If there is a
shed, it is cold steel, unlined and frequently facing the
wrong way. Strangely, stabling a horse will not keep him
warm. There will be a total lack of movement and so the
horse actually feels the cold a lot more. Some European
stable complexes are lined (insulated) and have central
heating. These are warm. Not so our Australian stables
of steel and wood so the horse needs a rug.
We rug because we remove the natural way horses keep warm.

Companions: most of our horses live by themselves, or
with just one paddock companion. Wild horses will group
together and constantly move. The one on the outside
burrows her way into the middle and gets warm before
being evicted by another burrowing horse. This allows a
much warmer central heating.

Exercise: free roaming horses will have a run, generating
warmth from the exercise. We keep our horses in relatively
small paddocks or yards although some are big enough
for a short run. If they are small, the horse knows it is in
danger of slipping so is less likely to run for warmth.

Fur: while our ponies are often left furry over winter, many
are clipped. This is particularly true of horses. We clip so
we can exhibit our horses in their best coat but then they
do not have their natural winter underwear on. Clipping
also makes it easier for us to dry our horse before
releasing it back into its yard, wearing a rug to keep it
clean.
So, yes, wild horses and ponies in particular do not have
rugs and survive quite well. But they have features that our
companion horses do not have. Thus they can manage
without rugs where most of our horses need them.
If you have any horse query for
Julie please email or post to the
Grapevine and we will pass it on.

As promised more uses for WD-40, we hope you have got
some good ideas for solving issues through us printing tips.
1: Doggie-doo: If you are like most of us you will have
stepped in some doggy-doo at some stage. Few things in life
are more unpleasant than cleaning it off the bottoms of
sneakers. The task will be a lot easier if you spray some on
the affected sole of the shoe and use an old toothbrush to
clean the crevices. Rinse with cold water the sneakers will be
ready to hit the pavement again. Now, just watch where you
are walking!
2: Remove strong glue: If you didn’t wear protective gloves
when using that super strong glue and now some of it is super
stuck to your fingers, don’t panic! Spray some WD-40 directly
on to the sticky fingers and rub your hands together until your
fingers are no longer sticky. Use WD-40 to remove glue from
any other surface as well.
3: Zipper Stuck? If you have a stubborn zipper on your jacket ,
jeans or sleeping bag just spray some WD-40 on and pull the
zipper up and down a few times to distribute the lubricant
evenly over all the teeth. If you have concerns about it
marking the surrounding fabric spray WD-40 on to a lid and
use an artist’s brush to apply the lubricant.
4: Guitar Stings: To clean and lubricate guitar strings and to
prevent corrosion on strings apply a small amount of WD-40
after each playing session. Spray onto a cloth and wipe over
strings because you don’t want a buildup on the guitar neck
or body.
5: Keep Tool Handles Splinter Free: No garden tool is going to
last forever, but you can prolong the life of your wooden
handled tools by preventing splintering. To keep wooden
handles from splintering, rub a generous amount of WD-40
into the wood. It will shield the wood from moisture and other
corrosive elements and keep it smooth and splinter free for
the life of the tool.
6: To Degrease Your Hands: When you have finished
working on the car or tractor and your hands are
greasy and blackened with grime use WD-40 to help
get them clean. Spray a small amount on to your
hands and rub together for a few seconds, then wipe
with a paper towel and wash with soap and water.
The grease and grime will wash right off.
7: Remove Stickers: You don’t need a chisel or even
a razor blade to remove old stickers or tape from your
vehicle. Just spray the area and wait about 30 seconds
and wipe them away.
8: Remove Stickers from Glass: What were the manufacturers
thinking when they put that sticker on the glass? Don’t they
know how hard it is to get off? When soap and water doesn’t
work and you don’t want to ruin a fingernail or risk scratching
delicate glass with a blade, try a little WD-40. Spray it on the
sticker and glass, wait a few minutes, and then use a noscratch spatula or scraper to get the sticker off. The solvents
in WD-40 cause the adhesive to lose its stickiness.
9: Clean and Protect Golf Clubs: Whether you’re a casual
golfer or a pro, you can protect and clean your clubs by
spraying them with WD-40 after each use. Also use WD-40 to
help loosen stuck on spikes.
10: Rejuvenate the Barbecue Grill: To make a worn old
barbecue grill look like new again, spray it liberally with
WD-40, wait a few seconds, and scrub with a wire brush.
Rinse off with soapy water when you have it clean. Remember
to use WD-40 on a grill that is not in use and has cooled off.
11: Renew Faded Plastic Furniture: Bring colour and shine
back to faded plastic patio furniture. Simply spray WD-40
directly on to the surface and wipe with a clean, dry cloth.
You’ll be amazed with the results.
12: Keep Bugs off Your Car Grill: Before heading off on a
country drive spray some WD-40 onto the grill and bonnet
where most bugs end up. The bugs will slide right off.
The few bugs that are left will be easy to wipe off later without
damaging your car’s finish.
We hope you put some of these tips to good use.

“Sheep Graziers alert”.
If you have been milking your goat you will notice her
production is dropping off. One reason is that she needs
more food just to keep warm. If you give her a warm shed,
she will give you more milk. Milk also drops about now due
to the change of length of daylight (just like poultry). Once
the days start getting longer their production increases
again.
What does it mean when we hear that phrase on TV or the
internet? Well, it means that all animals should have
adequate shelter as the weather is going to be nasty.
New lambs or sheep that have recently been shorn will need
shelter. Graziers will move them to sheltered paddocks, or
into a lee of sheds, possibly even into sheds if they are
particularly vulnerable. Shelter may mean lots of trees,
especially low bushes. It may be valleys where the winds are
not as strong.
Feeding extra hay will help keep ruminants (and horses)
warm due to the digestion process itself.
Remember: green grass has almost no nutritional value for
several weeks. It is sweet and may encourage overgrazing
but the animal still needs hay as well as a nutrition lick and
possibly extra goodies such as premixed pellets designed
for the species.
Young cattle will also need extra shelter, and so will our
goats, horses, dogs (if usually outside), chooks, etc. Each
individual animal will need different levels of shelter. Age,
state of coat, activity, companions will all influence how
much shelter they need. Furry ponies with friends to cuddle
and chase and trees to shelter under may be warm enough
without any extra. Older animals with no companion to
cuddle may need a shed or even a rug.
Thank you to Sandra for this question.
Please email the Grapevine if you have any queries on goat
care and we will pass your correspondence
on to Julie Buttery who wrote this article.
Our goats need shelter too. Those of the hairy persuasion
(mohair, cashmere, even the feral types) may not need as
much as dairy goats but they need shelter of some sort;
sheds, trees, rocky cliffs to hide against in minute caves or
depressions. You can also rug a goat but make it waterproof.
There is nothing quite as chilling as soaked clothing.

You will not believe the enormous amount of handy uses
that can be attributed to the humble Banana. From plant
fertiliser to teeth whitening, here is the ultimate list of uses
for banana skin.
11: Bruise Patrol: Banana peels on the inside, if rubbed on a
bruise will aid in making it disappear.
12: Compost: Banana peels break down pretty quickly and
add wonderful nutrients to your soil. Make sure you put them
in your compost heap.
1: Shoe Polish: Did you know banana peels (on the inside)
make a great shoe polish? Just rub it around your shoe and
then buff it with a clean cloth.
13: Acne: Banana peels rubbed on your acne will help in the
acne curing process.
2: Teeth Whitener: Rub the inside of your banana peel on
your teeth to whiten them. Apparently, the manganese and
potassium helps whiten the enamel of your teeth.
14: Dry Skin Cure: If you have psoriasis, try rubbing the inside
of a banana peel on your affected areas twice a day and you
will see the dry scaly skin dissipate.
3: Wart cure: It only takes one or two weeks to remove a
wart with banana peel. Just rub the inside of the banana
over the area each night and watch it disappear.
15: Haemorrhoid Cure: Yes, you guessed it, as with acne,
banana peels help cure haemorrhoids.
4: Itch Soother: Banana peels can help relieve bug bites and
poison ivy. It won’t remove the oils that cause the itching
but it will soothe the bite or rash.
16: Tomato Plant Fertiliser: Wrap a banana peel around your
tomato when you plant them in the garden and they will enjoy
the nutrients from the peel as they grow in the summer.
5: Fix a Scratched CD or DVD: If your favourite disc won’t
play smoothly, fix it with a banana peel. Rub the back of the
disc in a gentle circular motion with the inside of the peel.
Wipe off any residue with a soft cloth, then lightly spray the
disc with glass cleaner and buff it until it looks clean. The
wax in the peel will fill in scratches without harming the
plastic finish of the DVD or CD.
Did you know that bananas can help reduce or prevent
depression and anxiety. They can also help improve your
mood and alleviate PMS.
Unripe bananas can relieve diarrhea, reduce sugar cravings,
and they can also help fight infections.

6: Silverware Polish: Blend banana peel with water and use
on your silver to take the tarnish off. Then polish with a
clean, soft cloth.
Don’t forget, if you are feeling a bit down just munch on a
bananas and then use the peel to brighten up your plants.
7: Meat Tenderiser: Add a banana peel to your next roast
and it will add just enough moisture to ensure that the roast
doesn’t get too dry.
8: Splinter Removal: Banana peels help ease splinters out of
your skin. Place banana peel on a splinter with tape for a
while and then try to ease the splinter out.
9: Aphid Control: Aphids don’t like banana peels. If you bury
some around your roses or other plants aphids love (like
cauliflower), you will deter them.

MONUMENT UPGRADE
Progress is very grateful to Dave from D.J. Francis
Memorials at Smithfield for attending to this project within
one week so that residents can see their monument back in
place almost before it was missed. The inclusion of Pte. C.D.
Tamblyn’s name (see pg. 6) as a local WW1 veteran and
polishing out 2 bad chips is now complete.
Thank you Dave for your prompt work.
Pictured below is Dave replacing the completed Monument and photo of the
monument all polished up and back in place.
Many people in the township have seen the
“Missing” signs that Iggy’s owners had put up
last week.
Leah and Mark walked the township and visited
many neighbours looking for their lost cat, to no
avail. After 6 days, Iggy waltzed into the
house on the night of Thursday 26th! He was
very hungry and a little greasy, but otherwise
unharmed. Leah thought that maybe, Thursday
being rubbish bin night, Iggy may have been
locked in somewhere and found his escape when
bins were being put out.
Leah and Mark would like to thank all those who
helped them in their search and said that the
one good thing that came out of this episode is
that they met many lovely neighbours they
hadn’t known before. So to this story, there is
a happy ending.
P.S. Iggy is now being watched very closely
during his short ventures outside!
