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.

Just to recap, Craig’s parents, Tony and Jenni Eventually Craig’s big break came when Adelaide United coach Josep said that as a toddler he always had a ball at Gombau asked him to join them. Craig’s career then blossomed under his feet. Even as a 2 year old his Aunts and Josep and the Spanish influence led to a great season with them. Uncles would laugh at the fact that a ball was never far from Craig. As he got older he spent This year under a new coach Spanish legend , Craig’s endless hours practicing and shooting for playing went to another level again and after a slow start by the team goals. The poor old fence at One Tree Hill has Adelaide United went on to win the Premiers Plate and then the A-League now been replaced after many years of taking a Championship for 2015/2016.

He trialled with the under 18’s the following year Pictured below is Craig at the Sparta Rotterdam stadium just after he signed 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. 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 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 SUCCESS IS NO ACCIDENT and a position was not available due to squad It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice size requirements. and most of all, love of what you are doing.

11 Kids Page Hello and welcome to your two pages for the month. It was great to hear from our regular Kookaburra Club members, their adventures are on the opposite page. It sounds like they had an interesting visit to Sovereign Hill in Victoria. I wonder have you ever been there? I have and it was really good fun to see the old shops and 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. I have a selection of puzzles this month that I hope you enjoy, I’ve even put in a dot to dot puzzle. Hopefully I haven’t repeated any jokes, sometimes it’s hard to find new ones. If you have any jokes send them in won’t you. Until next month Auntie Bev.
