ABRA representatives attended the “Spring Forum” on the 17th September at Aldinga Institute organised by the Southern Community Coalition and the McLaren Vale Wine & Tourism Association. Representatives of Government Departments as well as Ministers and other politicians spoke and answered questions about development and the future of the Willunga Basin as well as the Southern areas of Adelaide generally. Over 100 people attended. Aldinga On Display. We trust many of you enjoyed the ‘Aldinga On Display’ event on October 17th. Representatives of the Aldinga-Sellicks Alliance (including ABRA) prepared and planned this event with sponsorship from council. Meeting with Council engineers. Committee reps met with Council engineers to discuss concerns re the re-development of both Aldinga Beach and Quinliven Roads currently being undertaken by Council. Photocopier purchase. The heavy duty photocopier available through the Aldinga Community Centre upgrading to a colour machine is to be purchased by ABRA. Australia Day Breakfast. Planning has commenced for the 2010 Australia Day Breakfast. Volunteers will be needed to help with the running of the event on the day. If you can help please contact a committee member. Don’t miss November’s meeting. The Manager of the South Australian based company Petratherm has been engaged to speak about their ‘hot rock’ power generation plant at Paralana (in Northern South Australia) at the November General Meeting. This promises to be an interesting and informative session about an exciting form of alternative and renewable energy production. Kevin Hutton - Secretary As explained by our guest speaker at the October ABRA General Meeting, “Data Dot” property identification marking kits are available to the elderly or other people who feel at risk of theft. These marking kits consist of a glue which contains tiny ‘data dots’ invisible to the naked eye but which show up under ultra violet light. Each kit’s dots have a unique number code which can be traced back to the owner by police from a national database. Therefore, if your property is stolen, there is much more likelihood it will be returned to you without the need to engrave or otherwise mark your property for identification purposes. Some kits are available at Aldinga Police station free of charge through Watch SA. WED, November 11th at 7.30 pm Incorporating: Aldinga Community Centre Stewart Avenue Aldinga Beach.

Road works are an important aspect of maintaining a town or city's infrastructure. Bad roads affect transport, tourism and local business. They are also just uncomfortable and irritating, especially to rates and taxpayers when they stop and think about it. But when it appears that every road into or out of our area is being worked on at the same time, it stretches ones patience. Detours are a great help when having to negotiate your way around roadwork. But when that first detour sends you straight into another road closure, and that one detoured into yet another, well that’s just infuriating. A little bit of forward planning and coordination between work crews would save a lot of headaches for motorists. I know, I know. It’s really nothing in the overall scheme of the universe. At least we have roads to be maintained. Just so long as the boss is as understanding when you're late for work. Again.

We may even consult a GP in hope of a diagnosis. Tests may follow but may fail to diagnose an illness or problem. In these circumstances it is suggested that we try 20 – 30 minutes of walking, stretching, yoga or T’ai Chi. If we are actually well despite how we felt earlier we should feel better for the exercise. If however we feel worse follow up with the doctor to investigate the cause further. Bottom Strength The biggest muscles in the body are the gluteus maximus (glutes) and they are often the most neglected, not deliberately but because they are out of sight we don’t think about them. Also as adults we get into the habit of using only the quads and hamstrings. Climbing stairs, lifting objects and even walking require use of bottoms but mostly we rely on the muscles around the femur (quads). It may take a deliberate effort to use the glutes more both in everyday life and by exercising with ‘mini squats’ and deeper knee squats. Do these keeping some weight back on the heels, pushing into the heels as we rise and at the top squeezing the quads and glutes. Middle Body Muscles Middle muscles include abs, obliques, lats and pecs i.e. any muscles that assist posture such as standing and sitting. (This means that in addition to abdominal muscles, the core area is made up of the muscles of the back and shoulder, pelvic muscles, transverse abdominus (TVA), gluteal muscles, and even hamstrings). The best way to strengthen these middle muscles is through dynamic movements that we use in real life. In addition we can do mini crunches correctly and planks and bridges lying face down. Mrs. Obama’s Arms Mrs. Obama is reported to shape her arms in the gym with two basic exercises. With weights in each hand she does bicep and tricep curls. Biceps are easiest. She does 3 sets of 10 curls. There are many ways to do tricep curls, overhead, or lower to the side, again 3 sets of 10 repetitions. Frequency and the weight she uses are not reported. My guess is she has hand weights of 5 to 8 Kilograms and frequency is 3 to 4 times per week. Ryan Reynolds, Julia Roberts, Hayden Panattiere, Carrie -Anne Moss, Emily Watson, Ioan Gruffordd Dir. Dennis Lee 2008 They’re Family. But Does That Make It Ok? Although made in 08, it’s only just been released here, appearing quietly on our video store shelves. Ryan Reynolds stars, showing his versatility as a dramatic actor in this story of loss, grief and forgiveness. Fans will still be pleased to see some of his almost trademark realistic levity in some scenes and he certainly portrays his character as a likeable guy, but holding on to some serious emotional demons. Character driven, it relies on strong performances from all the cast and they deliver with moving and authentic embodiments of the characters they play. Production value is of a good standard, with rich but simple photography allowing the viewer to be present with the on screen family, sharing the uncomfortable conflicts as well as the intimate moments. This is a story of a family with deep emotional problems, some of which viewers may be able to relate to. But this is where the audience opinions will vary. Some will want to see a warm, loving reconciliation between the affected family members at the end, where everything that has passed is just pushed behind them, to be forgotten amidst the happy embraces. And then there will be those that will demand confrontation and retribution for what has transpired. They will want to see the father humbled by the son, publically shamed and punished for his behaviour and mistreatment, forgiveness not even crossing their minds. A strong family drama, with deep undertones and an engaging story. But a story that will either inspire or frustrate, depending which side of the family fence you’re on. Hopefully the ending is on your side. Eddie **** ALDINGA Exercise for Arthritis Well known are the benefits of T’ai Chi for arthritis sufferers. Why is it so? It’s because Tai Chi stimulates the body energy, life force or the “chi”. Without it areas surrounding joints and the joints will stiffen. It’s a good thing is that these benefits are not confined to T’ai Chi; they flow also from general stretching, Pilates and yoga.

For seniors looking for mental, spiritual and physical activities or entertainment and art there is abundance of everything for retirees in the U3A (University of the third Age) Aldinga. The U3A started in France 1972 and became international in 1975. It gained recognition by the UN and UNESCO. The first term of our group started in January 1997 with 48 members and five different courses. It has links to the Universities and now up to 30 Courses and Activities a term like: History Music Poetry Literature Theatre (Bookings for the Dunstan Theatre) Computing Philosophy Discussion Groups Lecture Series Films Walking Cycling Excursions Senior Adventurers A Luncheon Club and other Social Activities The Creative Writing Group compiled a collection of their work and published a book ‘Voices in the Wind’ in 2005. The Aldinga Group has about 200 Members and is the best I have come across with a wonderful friendly atmosphere. Anybody can participate in learning, teaching, planning or administration and join in any course. The U3A has no academic requirements, offers no rewards or credentials and caters for people with a wealth of life and work experiences. Membership Fee is: $ 20 for Singles and $ 35 for 2 people at the same address per year. Excursions are extra. All courses and activities are free. I came to Aldinga in 2004 from Peterborough. I had no family, friends or contacts in Aldinga. The first thing I found was the Shopping Centre. There I learned about the Community Centre and its programs. I joined the ‘Friendship Group’, which has closed a while ago. A few months later I became also a member of ‘The Coastal Capers’ – also a gem for the elderly in the Community. But after taking courses in TAFE in Peterborough I wanted more variety and heard by accident of the U3A. The U3A changed my life! The acceptance and tolerance of that organisation is unique. All my life I had to prove myself, was confronted by prejudice because of the financial status of my family or myself or the rank in my career or my birth country. But in the U3A all that fell away. I felt at home, relieved and relaxed, which led to great happiness after a tough life. At one meeting I heard a man say:’ The U3A saved my life’. – I believe him.

The median house price for the 3 month period from July to September 2009 leaped to $309,000 while the number of house sales was quite strong at 104. The graphs below show a very healthy picture for sellers without placing any undue strain on buyers who are keen to move into the area. Century 21 SouthCoast Your Coastal Property Specialist Our promise to you is to provide exceptional customer service because we know that’s what you expect. That’s why more people are choosing to buy, sell, and rent through Century 21 than any other agent in the southern suburbs. Given the strong current economic conditions, with positive consumer and business confidence, house prices are likely to remain strong unless successive interest rate rises decrease affordability to any great extent. If you were planning on selling in the near future, this spring would probably be a great time to do so, especially as stock levels have diminished dramatically over the past few months. SELLING – by Private Treaty or Auction? BUYING – house and land? RENTING – permanent or holiday? Our Award Winning agency offers the full array of property services. Call us now for a free, no obligation appraisal, 7 days a week! While the number of house sales for the most recent quarter may not be a record result, it matched the number of sales recorded over the seasonally ‘busy’ periods of spring and summer. The only thing that stopped more house sales during this quarter was the shortage of stock in the under $350,000 range. At the time of writing this article, 2 weeks into October, there were approximately 50 listings of houses for sale in the Aldinga Bay priced under $350,000. And most of these will have sold by the end of November, so unless more listings come onto the market, buyers will be clamoring over the limited availability in the area. Great for the sellers, but no so great for the buyers. At Century 21 SouthCoast we need more listings now because we have sold most of our stock, so please call us for a free no obligation appraisal of your property. If you have a question on this or any other property related subject, we’d be only too happy to help. Call us on 8556 6001.

EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO COME AND ENJOY Snakebite season is here……. Each year in Australia more than 6000 dogs/cats are envenomated by snakes. Snakes have now started to emerge from winter hibernation. Snakes are more dangerous at the beginning of spring, because they are more venomous, and in addition are more aggressive due to breeding. Types of snakes in our area Brown and black snakes are the most common snakes in our region. Both of these snakes are generally dangerous only if annoyed – they will escape if they have the chance. Unfortunately the natural behaviour of dogs and cats is to chase anything that moves, and this includes snakes!! Signs of snakebite The signs vary depending on factors such as type of snake, location of bite and amount of venom injected. Signs can take a few minutes to several hours to occur (in cats can take up to 24-48 hours), and can progress rapidly to death if not treated. Signs include: weakness, paralysis/collapse THE ALDINGA COMMUNITY GARDEN at Symonds Reserve, Stewart Ave. Aldinga Beach OPEN WEDNESDAYS FROM 9.30am – 12.30pm Membership is free so now is a great time to come and grow fruit, vegetables and herbs the natural way and learn and share gardening tips. So come and PLANT IT, GROW IT, HARVEST IT, SHARE IT, EAT IT! Contact Sue on 8557 8090 Coastal Views, November 2009 trembling vomiting, salivating often puncture marks on the body can NOT be found. Occasionally with a black snake bite there will be swelling at the site, but never rely on finding this. Cats – in addition to the above signs are often found presented as paralysed and ‘floppy’. Some dogs will suffer acute collapse and then a temporary recovery – this is a sign that they have received a lethal dose of venom. So NEVER assume that the worst has passed, because they will collapse again later and deterioration will be fast and life threatening. What to do Contact your vet immediately if you suspect that a snake has bitten your pet, or if you have seen your pet with a snake. The faster your pet is treated; the better the prognosis for survival. Page 20 SELLICKS CFS Unfortunately we saw a rise in reported crime during September and the first half of October for the area. The majority of this crime was opportunistic and involved theft from properties, cars and building sites. Graffiti has also remained prevalent in the area although vastly under reported to police. On the positive side the number of persons apprehended by Aldinga Police for these offences was also very high and this was due in part from information passed on by the public. I can’t stress enough the need for information from the community as this greatly assists us in apprehending offenders and protecting the community. Fortunately we have had a large amount of rainfall during winter and also into early spring which means that the dams and reservoirs are mostly at capacity allowing for good water supply for the summer. The down side of this is that fuel loads for the Fire Danger Season are much higher than the previous couple of years which will provide a higher fire risk with the increased undergrowth. Members of the public can assist police and fire service members in their endeavors by slashing vegetation that has grown during the winter months, clearing leaves and branches from gutters and checking fire fighting equipment such as sprinklers, hoses, water tanks and fire extinguishers. Most importantly report any suspicious behaviour to police in rural or scrub areas in a timely matter so that we can investigate. Sadly again this year we have had to attend more than our fair share of fatal and serious injury motor vehicle/cycle crashes in our district. These tragic occurrences have a devastating impact on the families of the victims as well as a wide ranging impact on our community. Research shows that a large number of persons killed or seriously injured in accidents are still not wearing a seatbelt. During November the Aldinga Police will be paying particular attention to motorists who fail wear their seatbelts. Remember the driver of a motor vehicle is also responsible for passengers in their vehicle under the age of 16 years and will also receive a fine should a passenger not be wearing a seatbelt. For readers who are not aware the Aldinga Police Station is located at 13 McRae Street, Aldinga Beach directly opposite the Veterinarian Surgery and we welcome any enquires. The Police Station front office is open from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm Monday to Friday, with the exception of public holidays and police can be contacted on Ph. 8556 6541. Outside of these hours the nearest Police Station service is at Christies Beach where there is a 24 hours front office service for members of the public to call in if they have matters that require personal attendance at a Police Station. For those new to the area please be advised that Aldinga Police operate a 24 hour, 7 days a week patrol service in the Willunga Basin area. For patrol attendance please ring either 000 for life threatening emergencies or 131444 for other patrol attendance. Damien Epps Senior Sergeant First Class Officer in Charge Aldinga Police Station Coastal Views, November 2009 With the change in weather conditions we are now experiencing, we know that fire danger season is just around the corner. Late seasonal rains boosting growth of vegetation is adding to the fuel load (the amount of fuel available to a fire). Looking at the heartbreak caused by bush fires in the last 12months it is time to think that it doesn’t always happen to someone else. Now is the time to review your fire action plan and ensure you are ready. Do you and your children know what to do in an emergency? Question & Answer ???? Why does the Fire Siren go off? What does it mean?? The Fire Siren you can hear is one of the earliest form of public alarms used. This dates back to World War 1 to warn of imminent air raids. The CFS use of the Fire Sirens changes from area to area. At Sellicks CFS and through the Kyeema group the sirens are only used between dawn and dusk. The siren is not only indicative of a fire, it may be any form of emergency eg. road crash. The fire siren isn’t always activated, it depends on what & where we are responding to. The MFS / CFS Communications centre can also activate the siren remotely, if needed, by phone to alert Fire fighters of a callout. The siren also alerts local residents to the fact that our fire appliance is heading out to give assistance.

Some assistance will be available from volunteers from the Centre to help seniors with the service plus low cost lessons are available for those who need more help.

Two fashions in current gardening are: the succulent solution and the Grasses Gig. While they are both useful & can be attractive there are some pitfalls. Not all succulents are tough enough for extremes of weather & weeds will grow through them. Make sure conditions are right & there is access for weeding-they cannot be walked on or through. Grasses, I fear, are suffering the same fate as ‘natives’ did some years ago. The idea spread about was ‘mix them haphazardly, plant & forget”. Most grasses look best as singles or groups of one species among other plants, such as Lavenders, Hebes, Correas, Daisies, etc. Very smart modern affects can be made with bold masses of one species of grass-eg: one Dianella type. When grass types are mixed they just don’t make it visually & very quickly resemble a neglected weed patch. Most ornamental grasses need care & should be cut hard once a year & fertilized appropriately. If we look to our own Australian plants, the best ornamental grasses (ones that won’t become pests) plus the choicest succulents our gardens will flourish on natural rainfall. There are great possibilities for creating fabulous gardens that are right for local conditions, good for the environment, beautiful & REAL. Let’s do it! Pam Hailstone. Thanks Pam there’s some great advice, so lets turn our area green, native style. Back to irrigation, you don’t have to run the main supply pipe to every plant in your garden, you run feeder tubes (4mm pipe, barb on 1 end, drip on the other), don’t make them to short, because you can move them around as the plant grows or in the case of a veggie patch, every time you re-crop. Find a store that keeps a complete range of irrigation & they will steer you in the right direction, McLaren Vale Mitre 10 has a huge range of irrigation supplies, that’s where I go. While we are on water, this time of the year people tend to over water, just because it reaches 28 degrees, doesn’t mean that it is hot & the plants are thirsty, plants are like kids, they try to ‘con’ you. What you will see, is the new growth will wilt slightly, so the ‘knee jerk’ reaction is to water, water, don’t panic they got to toughen up for summer, to much water now, will have a detrimental affect in the heat in summer (you will have real soft growth that will burn in the heat, so don’t be ‘conned’. If in doubt, buy yourself a water meter, very simple to use, is excellent for small plants & vegies which probably need the most care. Coastal Views, February 2009 Views November 2009 Larger trees & shrubs have to be encouraged to have a deeper root growth, so withholding water for a couple weeks at a time; this time of year is a great way to do it. Time to put citrus trees into the ground, ground temperature is starting to warm, so now is the ideal time for them to take off. Make sure you fertilize & water in well. Roses are now starting to flower, a bit late because of the extended cold, but spent blooms should still be removed, & what this will do is to extend the flowering period. Time to fertilize again, use appropriate fertilizers for natives & citrus remember natives have zero phosphorus & citrus needs a specialised fertilizer. For everything else try Seamungus & Seasol, what this will do is to encourage stronger root growth. For those of you that have acid loving plants like Camellias & Azaleas, give them a feed of Iron Chelates, this will help prevent the leaves from going yellow, this also applies to citrus trees. Thrips are a huge problem this time of the year, so keep on top them, red spider mite eggs will be hatching soon, just a couple of pests to look out for. Mow your lawns as this will encourage new growth & also fertilize now also. Keep on top of the weeds in your garden, we are almost there, there are very few weeds in summer. Early fruit trees will soon load up with fruit; consider how much fruit you need. Removing the excess fruit from the tree will benefit the tree & therefore giving you larger & better quality of fruit, & don’t forget to water, water while the fruit is on the tree. Birds will soon start attacking your fruit & veg, find a way to deter them, eg; plastic snakes, cd’s etc. Something new!

Valid until 30/11/2009 Page 31 Dear Editor, May I take the liberty of writing to you. Firstly, I would like to thank you for such a wonderful newsletter ‘ Coastal Views ‘. Being a new resident of Aldinga my wife and I find it very interesting and helpful indeed. My main point of this letter is to bring to your attention the ever increasing problem of ‘ Graffiti ‘ in the Aldinga area. It is a problem which is difficult to police but the deterrents that are in place are inadequate and too soft. These mindless imbeciles, if caught, should be dealt with severely, failing that then their irresponsible parents should be brought to book and punished. I personally believe all concerned should be named and shamed. This is a disease that is spiraling out of control. Unless something is done about it quickly then Aldinga will soon become unattractive and distasteful.

James also designs the Aldinga Community Centre newsletter which is distributed each term plus is always busy around the Centre upgrading the computers and has introduced a network for the Centre. Thanks for the email, graffiti is an abhorrent act that must be dealt with. We can all do our part by making note of it when we see it, taking a photo or two and passing information on to our local police. The more intelligence the police receives, the more chance they have of successfully identifying these parasites, these bottom feeders, these primitive, under educated drains on society ...sorry, got a little carried away there... I say, Eddie, Last issue there was a letter from Michelle of Port Willunga. I’d like to assure Michelle that there are many people who have had experiences like hers and would not ridicule her. There is an organisation called ‘Australian Cosmic Connection Adelaide’ where people meet and discuss sightings and other such things, or to learn more about them. Meetings are held once a month at the Marion Bowling Club. They are on the internet at www.australiancosmicconnections.com.au Giselle of Aldinga Beach Coastal Views, November 2009 James has been great asset to the Aldinga Community Centre and ensures that we keep up with all the technological changes in the computer field, so we can offer our clients up to date courses.
