STANSBURY SCRIBBLE
STANSBURY SCRIBBLE MAY 2016 Contributions for the next issue by 25th May to Stansbury Foodworks Store, Joan or Chris. Editors: Joan Elliott and Chris Duncan Publication through the courtesy of: ADELAIDE BRIGHTON CEMENT LTD and STANSBURY PROGRESS ASSOCIATION. STANSBURY PROGRESS ASSOCIATION INCORPORATED Janette Butler, Administration Officer 88524577 Well, Stansbury certainly turned on the charm this year for the Anzac Day Dawn Service. The weather was glorious (if a little chilly) and the sunrise was spectacular. It is so very pleasing to see the large number of people who attended the service here in Stansbury (and elsewhere, of course) numbers seem to grow each year. There were locals and visitors, young and old in attendance. The parents who bring their children along are to be commended; these children are our future and need to know of the sacrifice and grief caused by the stupidity of these conflicts. Maybe one day there will be no more, we can only hope! The barbecues situated along the foreshore between the playground and the Foreshore Park entrance have all been replaced with brand spanking new ones. The old ones had become very tired and worn out and some of them didn’t even work at all so the Progress Committee decided it was high time they were replaced. The new ones are free to use with a push button operation. So folks, make hay while the sun shines, or errr, cook barbecue while the warm weather remains. Stansbury has a representative on the Yorke Peninsula Council’s Access Advisory Committee. This group meets and makes recommendations for small works necessary to improve access in our towns for people with mobility difficulties. While we are very lucky that Stansbury has good footpaths and wide roads making it relatively easy for people using mobility scooters etc. to move around town, if anyone has come across a situation that they think could be improved please let me know and I will pass on your suggestion to the representative to take to the next meeting. Recycling: Newspapers can be dropped off at the Tidy Towns yard (dry, flat-packed and tied with string) or placed in the covered trailer which is situated there. It is important to recycle as much as we can to reduce the amount of rubbish going into landfill so if you are unable to deliver your papers to the yard please place them in your yellow recycle bin The Visitor Information Centre has a “Planet Ark” recycling box for all your used printer cartridges. Only a limited number of the “Scribble” is printed but for those who wish to do so it can be read online at HYPERLINK "http://www.stansburysa.com" www.stansburysa.com or if you miss out on one around town you can call in to the Visitor Information Centre and if we don’t have any left we will print one for you. THIS IS IMPORTANT PLEASE STORE THIS IN YOUR MEMORY BANK: In the event of cardiac arrest an emergency defibrillator is available at the Foreshore Caravan Park. It is situated on the outside wall of the office to the left of the door. This is automated and instructions are provided so please don’t be afraid to use it. You could save a life! Visitor Information Centre & Stansbury Seaside Markets Gabrielle Gutsche – Market Manager & Project Officer Market Season is sadly over for another year but what a lovely market we had as a finale! The weather was absolutely glorious and there was so much to see – with a great range of stalls, the incredible classic cars and of course the beautiful boats taking part in the famous Saltwater Classic. Once all of the stall holders were happily settled, I managed to take a few photographs of the day. I have uploaded a few of my photographs to Facebook, including some of the sunrise before the stall holders arrived. We have such a lovely town it would be a shame not to share it with everyone – and there is so much to see and do. Although I think I might have to invest in a pedometer to track my steps next year – I think I would easily reach my 10,000 recommended steps on market days. Market season might be over, but planning is already underway for next season. I’ve been listening to feedback from everyone with something to share – so if you have ideas I’d love to hear them. The Stansbury Seaside Markets are run to benefit the whole community – bringing trade in for local businesses and adding interest, colour and vibrancy for locals and tourists alike. I think it’s important for our market to be something of which we can all feel proud. Of course, I hope everyone understands that I can’t promise all suggestions will be implemented (straight away or at all) but I genuinely believe that feedback is vital for improvement, and thus all ideas will be warmly received and considered. The dates for Stansbury Seaside Market Season 2016-17 have been finalised, and are as follows: Saturday 1st October 9am-2pm (October Long Weekend) Saturday 5th November 9am-2pm Saturday 3rd December 9am-2pm Saturday 31st December 3pm-8pm (followed by New Years Eve Fireworks at 9:30pm) Saturday 14th January 9am-2pm Saturday 28th January 9am-2pm Saturday 11th March 9am-2pm (March Long Weekend) Saturday 15th April 9am-2pm (Easter Long Weekend) The Market Registration form is still currently under revision, but it will be ready by the end of May. It would be great to have more locals participating as stall holders to showcase the best Stansbury has to offer. So, if you’ve ever considered having a stall at the markets, next season could be your season! Along with uploading the form to the website, it will be available from the Visitor Centre and I will also post a link on Stansbury Seaside Market Facebook Page. So if you’re keen to be a stallholder, make sure you keep an eye out. The Visitor Centre has still been quite busy throughout April – with plenty of visitors from interstate and overseas popping in to see us. It shouldn’t really be a surprise, since autumn weather is my favourite time of the year. I speak to many people who only visit Yorke Peninsula during the summer, and although there is so much to do during this time (fishing, swimming, surfing, BBQs) I encourage them to return at other times of the year too – to see the difference between the four seasons. Autumn - with the calm, sleepy, sunny days and brisk nights; winter – when everything is green and lush and people are enjoying toasty bonfires; and spring – when all the salt lakes are full of water and migratory birds, and all the wildflowers are in bloom. Although I understand the appeal of holidaying somewhere tropical (I was in Darwin at the end of April for my sister’s birthday), I still don’t think it compares to having four seasons a year. As far as I’m concerned, Yorke Peninsula has it all! STANSBURY LIONS Each month there is a report in the Scribble of the activities of the Lions Club here in Stansbury. Members work hard and support local individuals and organisations as well as the wider community and other national Lions projects. The Lions Club of Stansbury Dalrymple is also part of an International organisation and what better proof than the recent link with the Accra Diamond Lions Club in Ghana, Africa. Three years ago, the students of Stansbury School raised money for a disadvantaged school in Ghana. Our local Lions club donated to this as well, and then, over a period of time, organised a safe transfer of funds to the Lions in Accra. In turn, that club added to the amount and last month, 8,000 GHI (Ghanaian cedi) was spent on education materials for the school. It is amazing how much can be purchased on site to assist students in their attempts to gain an education. If you are interested in finding out more about Lions and the how they are working for the community, check our meeting times on the Institute Notice Board or with Peter Gates at Dalrymple Motors.

TOWN LORE; STANSBURY BUTTER FACTORY; In the early years many households kept 2-5 cows for their own use, with the cream being separated from the milk using a hand operated separator. Over the ensuing years Dairying on Yorke Peninsula flourished with Jersey cows being the favoured breed due to the high quality of milk they produced. Between July and September of 1921, meetings were held in several Southern Yorke Peninsula Towns to discuss the possibility of a Butter Factory being established. Stansbury was voted the best placed town, due to the facts that it was on the mail routes of many surrounding towns; and had a bi-weekly Steamer ship service to Adelaide- allowing for much quicker and safer transport of the produce than was currently being used. Opinions were also sought from the producers all across S.Y.P.as to their thoughts and feelings about the proposal. In October 1921 Mr. Wight, a representative from the South Australian Farmer’s Union came to Stansbury to speak to the farmers and to encourage them to buy shares and become share-holders in the Company; paving the way for the Factory to begin. Over 1000 share applications were received and paid for by the end of that year. In December 1921, a meeting was held to discuss the purchase of a suitable building and the S.A. Farmer’s Union purchased a site and building suitable for the purpose. In January 1922 a representative from S.A. Farmers Coop Union Ltd. came to Stansbury to finalise arrangements and contracts for remodelling and renovating the stone building situated on the corner of Pitt Street; which had been purchased from Messrs. Pitt Ltd. A concrete floor and receiving platform were to be erected and a 20,000 gallon reinforced concrete water storage tank was to be built as well. The Dairying plant had been purchased and was ready to be installed when the renovations had been completed. A large Refrigerator for cold butter and a Cool Room for storage, grading and packing eggs would also be installed. The residents of the town had purchased shares to the value of 6000 Pounds Sterling, on the proviso that the business would go ahead. On August 6th 1922 a trial run of the machinery was successfully held. The first cream churn at the new Factory on the19th of August amounted to 21 boxes of choicest butter being produced [just over 1 1/2 tons] 150 dozen eggs were also received. On the 7th September 1922 the Official opening of the Stansbury Butter Factory was held. Production steadily increased with the Townspeople taking their cream down to the Factory as well as the farmers. On the 7th of October 1930, the Stansbury Cooperative Butter Factory won Second Place at the Empire Dairy Show held in London. This was against 42 other competitors. On the 1st March 1931, an invitation was issued to the farmers and their families to visit the Factory and observe the workings; a Company Technical Specialist, Mr. AJ Cook would speak and also answer questions. This was a most successful day. By 1932 there had been a 50% increase in production with 150 farming families attending an Agricultural Bureau Meeting held at the Factory; 1936 saw extensive improvements being installed due to the increased volume in trade. At its peak, 2,400 pounds of Butter were produced weekly. In 1941, the Commonwealth proposals regulating butter price, quality and quotas, threatened to cause the closure of many Butter factories, including Stansbury, but this was averted. During the World War 11, there was no milk supply to the Stansbury townspeople; Mr Edward Buttfield [Ted], who owned a house and 100 acres of land near the corner of Adelaide Road and Saint Vincent Highway, and had a small herd of dairy cows; was asked if he would be willing to supply milk to the town households, and collect the cream for the Butter Factory as well. A milk float and horse were used to deliver the milk and cream to the Factory. After the War, he continued until the return of his son Albert from Active service. Albert took over the job and continued until he left the district. Unfortunately, as the price of wool increased, the farming communities bought more sheep and sold their cow herds. Dairying declined ,and on August the 22nd 1951 production ceased. 31st of October 1951 the Stansbury Butter Factory officially closed; with all staff losing their jobs. The business switched to Minlaton, and was run from there. The cream collected was tested and graded then sent to factories in Adelaide for manufacturing into butter. The factory building and land was sold becoming a garage with a house being built on the property. THIS MONTH’S POSER; Why can’t it rain for two days in a row?
