BUNDALEER CELEBRATION: SUNDAY MARCH 25, 12 NOON Greg invites all community members to a Community Celebration at BundAleer Picnic Bundaleer Picnic Ground on Sunday March 25, from 12 noon. A lunch with free entertainment will be held in the beautiful picnic ground to mark the beginning of a new era of community led management of the site. Ground SAved For more details, head to mybundaleer.com or the My Bundaleer Fa- Bundaleer Picnic Ground has been saved! cebook page, send an email to [email protected] or contact Greg Bos- ton 0428 641 255. The entire 22 ha recreational precinct will remain open to the public and funded by State Government. Also, a community grant of $100,000 has been awarded to Bundaleer Forest Community Areas Association to assist with building of a new visi- tor, community and event centre on site. This will be added to the $150,000 Fund My Neighbourhood project funding for that centre announced in 2017. Bundaleer Forest Community Areas Association chair Greg Boston says the Jamestown community can be very proud of its efforts in achieving this positive outcome for Bundaleer Picnic Ground. “Our amazing community has provided a united and sustained mes- sage to State Government about the social, cultural and environmental importance of the picnic ground for locals and visitors,” Greg says. “Our community has invested literally thousands of hours into saving this precious recreational gem over the past three and a half years. “I’d like to thank every person who did their bit, whether that was by commenting on the Greenways Act, voting through Fund My Neighbour- hood, creating a poster at school, taking on committee roles, or anything else.” Greg says community involvement in management of the site into the future is key to the on-going improvements at the site. “The basic maintenance of the picnic ground will be funded by State Government, but there is an incredible opportunity for our community to take the lead with site improvements and shape the future of the picnic ground,” he says. “BFCAA planning is well underway for a nature play trail, a series of creatively designed and themed play structures built from natural materi- als. “Other projects put forward by community members that are explored are installation of electric barbecues, renewing picnic tables, removing environmental weeds and planting trees. “BFCAA certainly welcomes any ideas and any offers of time, skills, energy and resources to create the best possible outcomes for the Bun- daleer Picnic Ground.”

GeoFF WArren FundrAiSinG cAuSe Dr Geoff Warren, who has been practising as a veterinarian in Jamestown for over 35 years, was recently attacked and mauled by a large dog in his veterinary practice. He was flown to Adelaide for emergency surgery to his wounds. He is extremely lucky that he survived the traumatic ordeal. Geoff sustained seri- ous injuries to his forearm, leg and face, including the loss of an ear, which have all resulted in the need for multiple skin grafting, a 24-day hospital stay and continuing treatment. Many Mid North residents can attest to Geoff being an extremely dedicated, compassionate and professional veterinarian in the district. Those who have dealt with him would have an amazing story to share about his tremendous generosity and undying commitment to our pets and livestock. Years of midnight emergencies and 24 hour working days, has usually resulted in happy and healthy animals, due to the quality of his service and willingness to go that extra mile. No one could ever dispute his very reasonable fees reflecting his philosophy for supporting the health and wellbeing of pets and livestock. Geoff’s outstanding reputation stretches not just in Jamestown but across the Mid North and into the pastoral districts. He has also been very generous in his commitment to local organisations such as the Peterborough Rodeo, Jamestown Racing Club and Jamestown Show. Locals believe this cause is an opportunity for the community to show appreciation for Geoff and the Jamestown Veterinary Practice’s compassion and care. Geoff wants the Mid North community to know that he still cares about the community’s pets and livestock and hopes to return to work in his veterinary practise before long. Geoff and his family appreciate the Mid North community’s compassionate responses during this time and will be putting donations towards- pay ing medical bills, prosthesis and to relieve some pressure from the forced time off work to allow a full recovery. Donations can be made to a MY CAUSE fund set up for Geoff. https://www.mycause.com.au/page/170605/help-out-dr-geoff-warren

We spent 7 years in Jamestown when we arrived in September 1960, for my Husband to manage the growing business of M.S.McLeod Tyre & General Merchants Ltd. We were a very young couple of 22 & 23 years. We had two little ones of 6 months & 21 months. We found the busy community of the Town suited us well.

The JCCC AGM was held mid- February and it is with pleasure that we introduce our 2018 Governing Council committee: Chairperson: Lauren Fielding Deputy Chairperson: Sharon Millane Secretary: Ellie Stacey Treasurer – Childcare: Jillian Hudson Treasurer – Preschool: Karen Heness Members: Louise Cadzow, Janelle Butterick, Luella Hillam and Belinda Lomman. We have been exploring measurement at Child Care. One of the ways Above: Testing the toes on the sensory path at Childcare we have done this is by cooking pancakes. We looked at a recipe and talked about the different measurements. We were able to look at the different sized measuring cups and spoons. We all had a turn at mixing before we cooked the pancakes. They sure were yummy! We also made some really good gingerbread people. We decorated them and then had a tasty afternoon tea treat. The last few weeks has seen the Wallabies engaging in various different sensory experiences. We have been able to put both our hands and feet in different things, some of which we have enjoyed, while others not so much! We have felt things such as rice, gloop, spaghetti, jelly, shredded coconut and bubbly water. It’s interesting listening to the children as they describe what the different things feel like either between their toes or fingers. At JCCC we often talk about Loose parts” play? What is this? Loose parts are small, moveable objects such as sticks, rocks, log rounds, fabric, crates, ropes, etc. that can be used by children to build and create. Adding loose parts to your play area can be an inexpensive and effec- tive way to increase children’s creative play and experimentation.

Page 8 - March 2018 Jamestown Journal AFTER FALLING FROM A LADDER……THINGS TO CELEBRATE ‘Okay birds, the rest of the apricots are yours to enjoy.’ It was my last descent on the stepladder picking our apricots but as I stepped off, I thought I was on the bottom rung instead of the reality of the 2nd rung! For an over 70 year old, it’s just a bit far to fall and my hands automati- cally went out behind me to break the landing. I not only broke my landing on the very hard, concrete-like ground, but my wrists also suffered. Sitting on my backside I took in the sight of my right wrist looking like an uncooked sausage bent at a disturbing angle so I knew it had caused some damage! Jamestown on a Saturday late morning is amazingly quiet and making myself heard was rather difficult. My husband was finally alerted to my plight and drove me to the hospital. Wedding ring, jade bracelet, gardening gloves - all had to be removed before the swelling made things too difficult, and this was followed by X-rays which showed both wrists suffered in the fall-out! The right wrist was particularly bad. My first broken bones in my long life. Dr Kari put them in plaster and put me on fasting and no drinking of water in case of RAH operating that same day. The orthopaedic staff in RAH were able to look at these X-rays immediately and make decisions about the steps to be taken. How fortunate we are with this medical system and the staff here in Jamestown. Another patient joined me in out-patients, a young boy who had come off his quad bike, and he was prioritised to go in the first available RFDS plane to the Children’s Hospital.

It has involved help every step of the way, from the Community Services out of Port Pirie - showering and cleaning - more X-rays and communication of these back to the staff at RAH and then to Jamestown Medical Centre, physiotherapy support, and replacing of the backslabs with wrist braces.

Our local hairdresser very kindly washed my hair free of charge several times. So many blessings. My darling husband has been very attentive and hard working. Not being able to lift anything heavier than a cup of coffee for 6 weeks is very limiting and places a huge burden on the carer. ‘in sickness and in health…’ gave our 50 year marriage vows real meaning. It’s quite salutary asking for help so much, even waiting to be seat belted in the car or having food cut up. We all like to be independent in our daily activities so I’ve had to swallow my pride in asking for assistance. At the other end, determining when to ‘have a go’ even though it hurts is also something of a challenge, especially when we are older. We have only lived here in Jamestown since October but I can’t think of anywhere else I would rather have been to go through this experience than in this wonderful place particularly with the services of the RFDS. So much to celebrate. Thanks be to God. Caryl Roberts

March 2018 - Page 9 Jamestown Journal THE ‘APPILA GIRLS’ ARE ON THE MOVE AGAIN After raising over $15,000 for the Jodie Lee Foundation in 2016, the ‘Appila Girls’ are again walking 80km over two consecutive days, to raise money and awareness for bowel cancer. This year, the walk is being held in the Barossa Valley in May. The undulating terrain will no doubt be a mental and physical challenge for the girls, who have begun training for the event. Along with several other fundraising events, the Appila Girls will be hosting a dinner to be held at Stacey Park, Appila, on the 7th April 2018. The dinner includes a three course meal and entertainment, plus an auction taking place with goods and services being donated from generous local businesses. It is a great opportunity to come together as a community to support those affected by bowel cancer, and if the last dinner was anything to go by, it will be a fun night out. If you would like to make a donation, contribute an auction item, or to book tickets for the event, The ‘Appila Girls’ celebrated following a very successful walk in 2016 please contact Sarah Pammenter on 0419 832 036. Numbers are limited, so please get in early to avoid disappointment.
