The few spots of rain in the afternoon and evening of the 23rd of December were not enough to deter
revellers from the Combined Christian Churches of Cummins “Carols in the Park” event.
The smell of Lion’s donuts, sausages and onions greeted crowd members as they arrive, and the air was filled
with the rhythm and soul of the pre-show entertainment by June, Michelle, Ken, Peter, Jamie and Dave. For
the young and young at heart, face
painting offered by the Cummins &
Yeelanna Youth Group was the star
on top of the tree.
As the sun lowered and the squawk
of resident galahs could be heard
across the road, the nights master
and madam of ceremonies, Ben
Pugsley and Kirsty Fox, took to the
stage to welcome everyone. The
crowd were on the edge of their
deckchairs and picnic rugs to see what direction these two would take, and they were not disappointed –
their Christmas Bon Bon jokes (including audience participation) went off with a BANG!
The big band, ably led by Dave Pearson and Coral Wagner, performed at their wonderful best, leading the
crowd in favourites such as O Come all Ye Faithful, Hark the Herald Angels Sing and Joy to the World. The
crowd were captivated by the robust sound, and more than a few added their voices to create a resounding
wave of music, emotion and community spirit.
Amy Maddern and a group of enthusiastic young singers performed King of Christmas and Born is the King
(It’s Christmas) to the delight of the crowd, and there was time for reflection when Elsie Maddern, Ashley
Lawrie and Amy Maddern performed A Christmas Hallelujah. Crowd participation hit its peak during the
recitation of ‘Twas the Night before Christmas
Australia by the MC’s, and Mayor Joanne Quigley
shared a Christmas greeting on behalf of the
District Council of Lower Eyre Peninsula. Pastor
Stephen Albrecht shared the true meaning of
Christmas during his message, reminding us of the
birth of Jesus Christ, and gave a Christmas
Blessing to all.
For the second year in a row, Carol’s in the Park
was capped off by a spectacular fireworks display
provided by Ballistic Fireworks. The Carols
committee is extremely grateful to have been
recipients of a Bendigo Bank grant to allow this to
happen for the community, and to Russell
Branson for coordinating logistics.
More than an opportunity for fellowship and festivity, reflection and joy, Carols in the Park also acts as a
fundraiser for causes held dear to our community. This year, $1140 was raised from the collection buckets
and the sausage sizzle and drinks
stall. This amount will be split and
donated to Mentally Fit EP (to
assist with drought affected
farmers) and the Royal Flying
Doctor Service.
As usual, this kind of event cannot
happen without the support of
many within our community.
Thanks must go to all band
members, sound and light support
crew, pre-show entertainment, face-painters, BBQ cookers, the Lion’s Club, Bendigo Bank, the District
Council of Lower Eyre Peninsula, Five Loaves Bakery, Cummins Meat Store, Cummins IGA, and the
community members that helped with set-up and pack-up.
We hope you enjoyed Carols in the Park as much as we did, and we hope to see you again in 2020!

relaxing environment for families and groups toRefuse Reduce Reuse Recycle Compost
This month: Bottle tops & coffee pods
Plastic bottle tops and coffee pods are no longer being collected for recycling locally.
Unfortunately, the local recycler is no longer operating. Nationally, Envision who were
collecting bottle tops and experimenting with making mobility aids for children also stopped
collecting as 1) they were overwhelmed with the number of lids sent to them, and 2) their
trials with this type of plastic weren’t successful.
So, what is the problem with recycling bottle tops? Recycling them as loose lids is problematic
as their small size means they fall through the conveyer belt when material is sorted, leaving
them on the bottle is a problem when the bottles are compressed.
For those that take their recyclable material to the Port Lincoln waste transfer facility there is
a way to recycle them.
1. Remove the plastic liner from inside the lid
2. Place the lids into a large plastic bottle like a plastic milk bottle, plastic juice bottle, plastic
detergent bottle or any other clean plastic bottle. This can be done by cutting a slot in the
side of the bottle or bending the lid to fit through the top of the bottle
3. Fill the container and take to the recycler**
4. **Please note that at this time these are NOT accepted at the Coffin Bay and Cummins waste
transfer stations
We are looking at collecting for another national organisation, Lids4Kids, who are continuing
to collect lids but with details still to come. We are interested to hear from anyone who would
like to assist with cleaning and sorting the lids for this organisation in the future. Email or call
contacts below to register your interest
Coffee pods: despite claims of some coffee pods being biodegradable they will not biodegrade
in a home compost system, they need industrial composting to reach the high temperatures
required to breakdown. Of the coffee pods Nescafe is the only one that offers a recyclable pod
made from aluminium. For Nescafe coffee pod users there are currently 2 local recycling
points that collect and return the pods. Note this is for Nescafe coffee pods only 1) Lower Eyre
Health Practice in Cummins, 2) Golden Sable Florist 10 Liverpool St Port Lincoln. Nescafe
coffee pods users can also order their own Australia Post recycling satchel for the Nespresso
webpage.
Tips and helpful information from Kerryn McewenChristmas Festival 2019 wrap-up Thank you to everyone who participated in and attended the 2019 annual Cummins Christmas Festival on Friday December 13. We were thrilled to see so many people enjoying this event. The organising committee will start planning the 2020 festival soon – to be held on Friday, December 11 – and would love to see more community members put up their hand to help. The organising committee is made up of just four people at the moment. Of course, we couldn’t run the annual festival without the contributions that our local businesses make. Many donate to allow us to put on the free entertainment, dessert, prizes and the visit from Father Christmas; as well as the affordable BBQ tea.

The team at Pringles Ag Plus was awarded ‘best float’ with special mentions to Bascombe’s Auto Ag and the District Council of Lower Eyre Peninsula. The Best Decorated Bike or Scooter awards went to Tao Letton, Beau Dunbar and Jimmy Wedd. Thanks to the Cummins Pharmacy for providing prizes. The Lights Competition winners – decided by a public vote – were Leanne Seamann, Tammy Pool and Jenna Anderson. Thanks to everyone who entered and helped light up our town during the festive season. And thank-you to Cummins Deli & Takeaway and Thrifty Link Cummins for their support of this competition. The festival is a community event and we could not do it without everyone who helps us set up and pack up on the day; as well as those who volunteer their time and talents during the event including Mardi and Barb with face-painting; Grace & her helpers serving ice-cream and jelly; the Lions Club with their donut stand; and our BBQ cookers this year – the
Cummins Kindy community and the Swimming Pool committee. Your contribution is much appreciated. We also had two bouncy castles and archery tag from Xtreme Kites and Paddles who help keep this entertainment affordable for our community event; as well as the talented musicians from Wide Load on stage for a couple of hours. We will start our monthly meeting for the 2020 event soon. If you are interested in getting involved, contact Jenna on 0427 825 248 or email cdec@dclep.sa.gov.au.

Lots of gardens will continue to flourish with the many potted plants that were sold. We thank all members for their input, especially Ann Baillie for her ideas and inspiration. We were pleased to present our annual Zonta Awards to two girls who showed leadership and supported fellow female students during the year.

JFPP REFLECTION #3 ANDREW MCKINLAY – PLACEMENT #3 IN CUMMINS, SA I was very fortunate to be accepted back into the beautiful Cummins community one last time for my John Flynn Placement. I was really looking forward to settling back into the life of the South Australian countryside after a busy year, and the three weeks definitely gave me some valuable time to reflect and re-engage with the community and with myself. Cummins is situated in the middle of the Eyre Peninsula, about an hour from Port Lincoln, and has beautiful beaches to the East, South and West. It is a very small but very welcoming community, and it was lovely to once again pick up where I had left off my previous placement. This time in particular, I felt like I was able to take on even more responsibility much earlier in my visit. The doctor and nursing staff entrusted me with more independence from day one, and I felt more confident taking on this responsibility due to the clinical skills I had developed through my year 3 placements. This year my goals included: making more management decisions, building my confidence, and developing and delivering a small community health project. On the medical side, I must once again acknowledge how privileged I am to have learned from my amazing mentor Dr Quigley. His personal understanding of each patient and his practical understanding of seemingly every condition is definitely something I will aspire to in the future. This year in the clinic, I exclusively saw patients one-on-one in my own consulting room, and I conducted my own interviews, examinations and tentative management plans (which were reviewed by Dr Quigley). This was great for two reasons: (1) I was forced to think critically about how I would actually approach familiar and unfamiliar problems, and (2) I was able to meet lots of people from the community and have longer conversations them. At the hospital, I would typically be sent to do the initial workup for any patient who presented with an acute problem. This was another great way for me to test my diagnostic, practical, and communication skills. I would assess the patient, begin investigations, and give a handover when Dr Quigley arrived. Finally, with the help of the fantastic clinical nurses, I worked on a small health project to promote pneumococcal vaccination for at-risk patients with COPD (as per the National Immunisation Program). After accessing the health database, I attempted to telephone each patient from this group, offer them an appointment, and give them a vaccination if they had not yet received one. Only a handful of patients were available during my 3-week visit, but I managed to successfully contact at least half of the target demographic. I appreciate the quiet atmosphere of Cummins at this time of the year, but I still got involved in the community once again. I attended the Cummins Christmas Market, volunteered twice at the famous Winter Wonderland, and frequently went for runs exploring and enjoying the country town. I helped put up Christmas decorations at the medical clinic, I joined in with the ambulance crew for one of their education evenings and I couldn’t resist visiting the Cummins Hotel for a few pub lunches. The weekends were busy watching the cricket or visiting nearby beaches at Tumby Bay. It would be remiss of me if I didn’t mention how I witnessed and learned about healthcare maldistribution over the course of my Cummins placement. It was frustrating to witness the lack of support for country health, and the fact that services seemed to deteriorate each year I visited, instead of improving. Cummins struggles to attract registrars for any prolonged period of time, which means (1) the town doctor is effectively on-call 24/7, (2) the clinic is overworked and under-supported, and (3) the viability of the clinic and hospital into the future is uncertain. This is not a new problem, nor is it unique to Cummins, but it is certainly unsustainable and necessitates structural changes before entire towns collapse. Having spent an extended period of time in Cummins, and having attended the SA Health Strategic Planning meeting during my visit, I understand how important good primary health care is to individuals and the whole town. I truly hope that the new Local Health Network Governing Board can listen to the needs country health to better support them in future years. Politics aside, JFPP has taught me so much about medicine, communication, rural life, and the benefits and challenges of living in a small community. I’m so grateful for this unique opportunity to develop as a doctor and a person, and I hope the program continues to inspire students like me each year.
