30 NEWS Small town centenary reunion A MOUNT Gambier man was proudly among 300 people from many parts of South Australia and interstate who attended the celebration of the centenary of the proclamation of the township of Ki Ki last month. The group of people who had lived in the township or on farms in the district, including Mount Gambier’s Don Cooley, reunited at the town’s hall on October 26. President of the Ki Ki Pastime Club Don Goodall welcomed everyone and introduced Member for Hammond Adrian Pederick, who spoke of his own connection with Ki Ki, having grown up on a property nearby. Ki Ki Pastime Club secretary Mary Verhees created a DVD of photos dating back to the early 1900s depicting the early settlers in the district, including recorded interviews with Mr and Mrs Clive Cooley and Mr and Mrs Reg Goodall, who were early residents in the township for many years, recalling many of the incidents they remembered. Peter Butler, a descendant of one of the early settlers, shared a researched history of the town during the 100 years of its existence. “Some who were present could remember back to their childhood in the early 1900s, which made for an interesting and memorable day for all,” Mr Cooley said. The township of Ki Ki was proclaimed by the Governor of South Australia Sir Day Hory Bosanquet in 1913 after the land was surveyed by the State Government and opened for settlement, including farming properties.

Returning to Mount Gambier after previous successful talks, Dr Edwards will be at the Mount Gambier Library on Tuesday from 7pm. His book, Beyond Dark Clouds, is not about war stories, but rather chronicles a compilation of honest, thought provoking, raw life stories by veterans and their spouses and children who continue to suffer and have overcome the many challenges associated with the long-term consequences of trauma. Collectively the stories provide valuable historical and educational material that will have profound signifi cance for present and future generations. Readers are given a sense of the human resilience of individuals who describe in depth their range of feelings and behaviours surrounding events experienced during their life journeys. The author, who is not only a war veteran, but also a widely recognised medial specialist in trauma, has expertly constructed the life accounts from hundreds of hours of interviews over several decades. He has advised state and national governments on veterans’ post-traumatic stress and internationally through the World Health Organisation. The talk is a free community event, but registration is required for catering purposes by contacting the library on 8721 2540. Beyond Dark Clouds will be available for purchase and signing by the author on the night.

The rest of us know that every good deed we do will go unrecognised.” John Connolly wrote this statement in the Weekend Australian two weeks ago. He was writing about the Ford Mustang, which was launched in 1964, for which former Ford boss Lee Iacocca got the credit. This hugely successful “everyman sports car” was the product of a design team and fi nanced by Henry Ford himself. Although the concept was championed by Iacocca, he was only a part of the process. But, as Connolly said - Iacocca put his hand up and took the credit. It’s not the fi rst time that it has happened. You could probably think of a time or times when you or someone you know put in a lot of effort to get something off the ground and someone else got the credit, acknowledgement - and more painfully - the reward. It happens a lot in this world. People work hard and creatively, burning the midnight oil, and other people get the credit. It’s unfair, but it happens. $11,880* So you or they have to just suck it up and get on with living. Some people do get on with living and keep doing their best. Others say “what’s the use?” and give up trying. Probably more do the latter. Connolly’s words put me in mind of a song written in 2004 by New Zealand gospel singer Barrie Collecutt: “I’m singing for an audience of One The world it fades away As I gaze upon Your face I’m living for an audience of One And though a fool I’ll seem I will worship my King” The One, and the King referred to is Almighty God who has given to each of us the gift of free will and who observes what we do with it. I couldn’t think of anything more discouraging for an entertainer than to only have one person in the audience - but if that audience was Almighty God, well, that’d be different. To please Him would have to be the best thing anyone could do. The rewards are out of this world. It couldn’t get any better than that. Jesus described God’s “audience of one” in the 23rd chapter of Matthew in the New Testament in relation to people being faithful and making use of their gift of free will and the abilities and skills that God gave them. Jesus taught there that God would say to such a person “you are a good and faithful servant. I left you in charge of only a little, but now I will put you in charge of much more. Come and share in my happiness”. There will be no justice in this world except for a favoured few. But there will be in the next for everyone who gets there. Even if you rarely, if ever, get the pat on the back, the promotion or the notice, there is one who watches and who misses nothing. Keep up the good work and give God the honour for it - He will reward it. 628723
