Advent Pageant at Aldinga Central

A
       s the Christmas season rushes towards
       us, school children in the Aldinga area
       are getting geared up for the big day of
the Advent Pageant, Tuesday 3rd December.
Once a year, 300 or more children, chosen
from all three schools – Galilee Catholic
School, Aldinga Beach R-7 and Southern
Vales Christian College - meet at the Aldinga
Central shopping centre at about 10.15 am for
a Nativity Play and carols. A regular event for
over ten years, and supported by all the local
churches, several businesses, St John
Volunteers and SAPOL, this has become a
real community tradition in Aldinga.
This year it is Galilee’s turn to put on the play,
and children from all three schools make up
the choir. Celebrating the birth of Jesus, the
play concludes with the cutting of a birthday
cake, and the children share this in the form of
cupcakes baked by church volunteers. Ice
blocks contributed by Foodland and Coles add
to the culinary treats of the day.
Don’t miss it! Make Friday 29th your Aldinga
Central shopping day, and be in for a treat!
Below: 2018: Aldinga Beach R-7 presented the
play, which was written by local playwright
Nigel Camac.

Fleurieu Folk Festival

O
        ne of the highlights of
        Fleurieu Folk Festival
        2019 was the spectacular
Purple and Gold - A Musical
Celebration of Women's
Suffrage, which deservedly
received a standing ovation.
In 1894 women achieved the
right to vote in general elections
and to stand for Parliament in
South Australia. This was the
culmination of a long and hard
fought campaign by women and
men from all levels of society.
To celebrate the 125th
anniversary of this
groundbreaking achievement,
Fleurieu Folk Festival brought
together a group of women
recognised for their work as
musicians, poets and
songwriters to develop this
special presentation.
Written and performed by Adrienne Lovelock, Adrienne K Piggott, Bron Lloyd , Caz Williams, Jane
Bower, Jen Lush, Jodie Corfield, and Melanie Dancer, 'Purple And Gold' features new songs and
spoken word pieces along with extracts from reports, letters and speeches of the time. Audiovisuals
provided a backdrop to the story in this sometimes emotional, often humorous, but always heartfelt
celebration of this milestone in our history. The group was joined on stage by special guest guitarist
Kim Brown and Steve Lennox.
This performance was supported by the SA Government’s Office for Women as part of its 125th
Anniversary commemorations: 'Their Triumph, Our Motivation'.

 1 Nov           commemorating those who have no special feast day.
                 Soviet Russia launched the world's first inhabited space capsule, Sputnik II, which
 3 Nov 1957      carried a dog named Laika.
                 About 500 young Iranian militants stormed the U.S. Embassy in Teheran, Iran, and
 4 Nov 1979      took 90 hostages, including 52 Americans that they held captive for 444 days

 6 Nov 1945      6 The Atom bomb is dropped on Hiroshima, Japan by the U.S.

                 The Great Boston Fire started in a dry-goods warehouse then spread rapidly in
 9 Nov 1872      windy weather, destroying nearly 800 buildings
                 Explorer Henry M. Stanley found missionary David Livingstone at Ujiji, Africa.
                 Stanley began his search the previous March for Livingstone who had been
10 Nov 1871      missing for two years. Upon locating him, he simply asked, "Dr. Livingstone, I
                 presume?"
17 Nov 1869      The Suez Canal was formally opened after more than 10 years of construction.

                 The biggest mass suicide in history occurred as Reverend Jim Jones led over 900
19 Nov 1978      followers to their deaths at Jonestown, Guyana. Members of his "Peoples Temple"
                 religious cult were ordered to drink a cyanide-laced fruit drink.

                 Portuguese navigator Vasco Da Gama, leading a fleet of four ships, became the
22 Nov 1497      first to sail round the Cape of Good Hope, while searching for a sea route to India

27 Nov 1886      away and was one of the biggest natural disasters ever recorded.
28 Nov 1963      Martin Luther King Jr. makes his "I Have a Dream" speech.

  Come November, Celts would decide which animals were strong enough to survive
 winter and see a New year and its light. Animals which could not, would then be killed
             to feed the Celts and their families so that they could endure.

                                                     In the original Roman calendar, November was
Symbols of November                                  the ninth month of the year. It got its name from
                                                     the Latin word "novem" which means nine.
                                                     However, it became the eleventh month when
   Birthstone: Topaz and Citrine                     the Romans added in January and February to
                                                     the start of the year.
   Flower: Chrysanthemum                             Throughout much of history, November has
                                                     often been thought of as a somber month
                                                     because it signaled the start of winter. People
   Zodiac signs: Scorpio and Sagittarius             would spend the month storing up their harvest
                                                     and preparing their food and homes in order to
                                                     survive the winter.

Epitaph

        When fate comes to ahead                      If I outlive all those that I’ve known
      would I lay upon deaths bed                         I am bound to pass all alone
      and wonder what will be said                            No tears to be shown
         when my epitaph is read                           My epitaph will be unknown

      As you watch my body burn                          If I do not write without delay
      and my ashes poured in turn                     The words to be spoken on that day
     the words inscribed on the urn                     Others will surely have their say
        my epitaph you will learn                           My epitaph done their way

      Those words are just a token                         In a ward mind cut in half
       of emotions that are awoken                         Words written on my behalf
      in the hearts that are broken                       They will have the last laugh
         As my epitaph is spoken                          My epitaph by dementia staff

     If I pass with years still young                     Penned while in good health
        With my race not fully run                          My stories are my wealth
         what verses will be sung                        reflect upon them for yourself
         my epitaph not yet done                         My epitaph written by myself
                                                                    Tony King
