and that Councillors and officers can work together, and that
collectively we can all work with the community – working
toward the improvement and addition to our physical
infrastructure, working for the growth and maintenance of
social capital, and working to maximise the opportunities
afforded to us through the introduction of new economic
development.
On behalf of the officers of the Tumby Bay District Council I
look forward to working with Council over your term of office
and being able to say at the end of four years that we have
done the very best that we could do.

Asbestos Awareness Month
November is National Asbestos Awareness Month, which
aims to educate Australians about the dangers of working
with asbestos during home renovations and maintenance
and educate them about where asbestos might be found in
and around homes and on properties.
The Electoral Commission SA has confirmed the results of
the election and the new Councillors recited their Oath in
front of Mr Andy Allen JP at a meeting on the evening of 18
November. Thanks must go to the unsuccessful candidates
Sue Lawrie and Malcolm Baker for being prepared to stand
for Council and giving the community a choice.
Historically the meeting on Tuesday night was the final time
that the Council get to elect a Mayor. As a result of the
referendum the Mayor in 2018 will be directly elected by the
voters. 749 people voted for the change, 520 voted for the
Mayor to continue to be elected from within the Council and
there were 5 informal votes. Council will now need to
determine whether this change will require a reduction in the
number of Councillors elected in 2018 from seven to six.
Council Meetings – 2nd Tuesday of each month
Council determined to continue to meet on the second
Tuesday of the month commencing at 9.00am. The next
Ordinary meeting of Council will be on 9 December at the
Council Chambers.
Extract from an address made by Chief Executive
Officer at the Council meeting
Once every four years Council gets an opportunity to review
the past and to introduce fresh ideas and thinking. It is the
chance to demonstrate that Councillors can work together,
Many wrongly believe ONLY fibro homes contain asbestos.
Asbestos products can most likely be found in ANY
Australian home built or renovated before 1987 even brick,
weatherboard, fibro and clad homes. Asbestos can be found
in kitchens, bathrooms, laundries and under floor coverings,
behind wall and floor tiles, in cement floors, internal and
external walls, garages, ceilings and ceiling space
(insulation), eaves, fences, extensions to homes, and
backyard sheds: it could be anywhere!
It’s vital that Australians take the warnings seriously, stop
playing ‘renovation roulette’ to protect themselves and their
families from exposure to asbestos fibres during renovations
and maintenance.
Don’t play renovation roulette! Get to know asbestos
this November, visit asbestosawarenss.com.au. It’s not
worth the risk!
Rubbish Collections
Over the Christmas/New Year period, the
scheduled rubbish collections will run on the
following day; Friday 26 December and Friday 2
January 2015.

Australian Food Safety Week
Australian Food Safety Week was 9-16 November 2014.
The theme for Australian Food Safety Week 2014 was the
Temperature Danger Zone – keeping hot food hot and
cold food cold. Food poisoning bacteria can survive and
grow rapidly if food is left out in temperatures above 5°C
and under 60°C.
Food poisoning is caused by bacteria and viruses in our
food. Cooking food kills them but it’s important to prevent
cooked food becoming contaminated again.
Food poisoning bacteria multiply rapidly in food with a
temperature between 5 and 60 degrees. Keeping perishable
food below or above these temperatures can prevent
bacteria growing.
By following these simple tips, you can make sure that you,
and the people you cook for, are safe from food poisoning.
Tumby Bay Hospital and
Uringa Auxiliary Inc.
Our latest meeting was held on Wednesday 5th November,
where President Cynthia Fulton welcomed twelve members.
EO of the Hospital Carol-Ann Stanborough told us that from
now the only access to the Hospital for all visitors is via the
main entrance opposite the front side car park off the
Esplanade. Emergency entrance of the Hospital is for
ambulance and staff only.
The main entrance for all visitors to Uringa Hostel is via the
car park off Phyllis Street. This is to help keep both places
safer for all, and enables staff to be able to monitor comings
and goings of visitors or in any case of an emergency at
either establishment.
Auxiliary members agreed to purchase a Babies Oxygen
Reading Monitor with attachable Boot for use of very small
children and babies who are patients in the Hospital as
current monitors in use are too big and so do not give
accurate readings.
Discussion of upcoming Family Fun Day & Craft Fair was
held.
Guest speaker Tim Rombouts who is the new manager at
Bendigo Bank in Tumby Bay told us that he and his wife
Deb had experienced two massive floods whilst living in
Queensland. He gave an interesting account of their travels
on the move from QLD to Tumby Bay with two large dogs in
the car. All are now settled and enjoying their new
surroundings.
Tim encourages everyone to support the Bendigo Bank
Branch so that in turn they can support many other
community groups in Tumby Bay and the surrounding
district.
Our next Auxiliary meeting will be held after some
entertainment and a shared lunch with the residents at
Uringa Hostel on Wednesday 3rd December. This will be
our final meeting of the year.

Tumby Bay SACWA
2014 Wellness Walk-a-Thon
On Thursday 11th December the school would like to
welcome the community and surrounding towns to
participate in the 2014 Wellness Walk-a-thon. The walk will
commence at 9am, meeting at the school oval. Together we
will walk to ski beach and back, returning to the school
around 11:30am for a BBQ lunch.
The reason behind the walk:
1.
To have fun and enjoy the sun
2.
To support the community and the school
3.
To be active
4.
Raise awareness about mental health - The Heart
Foundation and Beyond Blue’s research says that 4% of Australian adults and 1 in 16 young Australians
suffer from depression and/or anxiety. The Australian
Institute of Health and Welfare states ‘Regular
participation in physical activity improves short and
long term psychosocial wellbeing by reducing feelings
of stress, anxiety and depression’.
The Tumby Bay CWA AGM was held on Wednesday 15th
August. President Marie Lally opened the meeting and
welcomed nine members. Apologies were received and the
roll call was My First Job.
These varied from farmhands, shops including electrical
shop, record shop, rental shop, bank teller, art director,
mining secretary, dressmaking academy.
Minutes were read and received. Sandy McCallum is
organising the item for the International Day so some time
was spent on doing this and those concerned accepting
their roles. Volunteers are asked to meet at the Uniting
Church hall at 10-30am on the 11th November 2014.
Barb Thring gave the craft report. It was decided to donate
$1000 to the hospital auxiliary designated specifically for
local patient transport.
The walk-a-thon will promote cooperation between the
community and the school by working together to share the
importance of physical activity, socialisation, fresh air and
sunlight.
Marie Lally then reported on her recent trip to the South
Pacific conference held in Dubbo, NSW with 300 delegates
from Australia, New Zealand and Pacific Islands.
Raising money:
With the help of the Parents and Friends committee from
the school we will be selling raffle tickets for Christmas
hampers and other prizes.
The mayor of Dubbo opened the conference and Governor
of NSW was a guest speaker. Other guest speakers were
Jock Lawrie from the Land and Water Commission and
Jacqueline Robertson, the Minister of Transport. New
Guinea women reported that violence against women is a
huge problem in their country.
Community members participating in the walk will ask to
provide a gold coin donation.
Donations from

The group went to Dubbo Zoo, a San Merino sheep stud
and the telescope at Parkes. The following day a guest
speaker spoke about modern slavery in Australia.
Men, women and children are bribed to come with promises
of good pay in the sex industry. Once they are here they are
housed and fed but no money so they can not escape from
their slavery. Most are Asian people and are brought out to
Australia and New Zealand to a lifetime of misery and
unable to return to their own countries.
Meeting ended at 3.30pm and afternoon tea was enjoyed.

Enlisted:
Discharged:
Corporal
Army
21 January 2008
Still Serving
Melinda was born on 4 August 1989 at Tumby Bay to Anthony Baldissera and Judith Helen Baldissera (nee Zwar).
There are 4 children in the family, 2 boys and 2 girls, of which she is the second youngest. Her father is a farmer at
Ungarra, on the farm named “Garra”, which is the local aboriginal word for “clay flats”.
Melinda went to school at Ungarra for her junior schooling (Years R to 7) then to St. Josephs School at Port Lincoln
for years 8 – 10, before completing her schooling at Loreto College, Adelaide (Years 11 and 12). On completion of
schooling she joined the Army, originally as part of the “Gap Year” scheme, before enlisting for a 6 year period. She
was actually very lucky to be able to do this as just before joining the Army she had an unfortunate accident when a
high voltage power line fell across a ride on mower she was operating at home on the farm. She received a severe
electric shock and is lucky to be alive!
Her 12 week basic training was undertaken at 1 Recruit Training Battalion (1RTB), Kapooka (near Wagga Wagga,
NSW), at the completion of which she received the “most outstanding recruit” award of the intake. She was then
allocated to Royal Australian Army Ordnance Corps (RAAOC) and sent to Bandiana (near Albury/Wodonga) for her
Corps training where she again excelled, this time being awarded the “student of merit” for the 12 week course. In
mid 2008 she was posted to 9th Force Support Battalion at Amberley (Qld) for 6 months; at the completion of this
posting she was reposted to 7th Combat Service Support Battalion at Enoggera (Qld) where she remained for 12
months.
In March 2010 she deployed to Kandahar, Afghanistan, remaining until the end of 2010; in this posting she was
responsible for ammunition resupply to ground troops and rotary wing aircraft (helicopters) as well as some
Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD). At the completion of this tour of duty in December 2010 she was promoted to
Lance Corporal and returned to Australia, to take up a position at Enoggera (Qld), where she remained for 12
months. At the end of this posting she was promoted to Corporal and posted to a newly raised unit, a Close Health
Company (CHC), also based at Enoggera. The CHC was part of a Close Health Battalion of 3 companies. In this
position she again excelled and achieved the RAAOC junior Non Commissioned Officer (NCO) award of the year for
2012.
Near the completion of this posting Melinda decided to apply for leave without pay and do some world travelling
before returning to her parent’s farm to decide on her future. In her own words “I have enjoyed my time in the Army. I
am really pleased in the direction the Military has taken me and do not regret any part of it.” Whatever she decides
for the future she wishes to retain close ties with the Army and at the least will transfer to the local Army Reserve
unit.
Melinda is currently working on the family farm. I was very lucky to be able to talk with her during the “reaping”
period. If it was not for the colder and damper weather, earlier in the week, this would not have happened. Melinda
has also decided to check out the South Australian Ambulance Service and has already been to a training session at
the Tumby Bay Station – here’s hoping for another recruit to this vital organisation.
The Sub Branch and I wish this very capable young woman all the best for the future and hope that she does retain
her ties with the Military, and of course become a member of the RSL!
