k You an Th to All CFS Volunteers Firstly for this edition we wish to sincerely thank all country folk who volunteer with the CFS.

Christmas At Our Place
Danny Is A Father Again !!!
We’ve written before of our Christmas Eve celebrations so I’ll only mention it briefly this year for newcomers to our magazine.
Well, hang on … at 53 years old it’s not impossible but there’s more to this story and it starts 15 years ago!
About 2 years ago, she phoned us and asked if Danny would walk her down the aisle at her wedding. Honoured, Danny said yes, and asked why? As Danny’s family is of European descent, we’ve stuck with their tradition of celebrating xmas on xmas eve. An advantage is that the kids are all highly excited and our adult kids are able to be with their in law families on Christmas Day. This year we had 24 present including extended family and friends from Perth who were travelling through to the Gold Coast with their 2 horses & 2 dogs. As always, our group gathers in the late afternoon and we have the main portion of our meal around 7pm. Then as the sun starts to sink the kids and some of the adults clamber into our already decorated ute and dinghy on behind, then drive around a few of the dirt roads near our place, singing Christmas carols and searching the night sky for signs of Santa.
As Ali has been on the hall committee for 25 years and is a 3rd generation Telfer to be involved with our hall, she knew much of the history of the hall and had a few stories to tell. Things like
••
••
Her grandfather Reg Telfer, a Soldier Settler in Monash after serving in WW1, helped cart stone for the building of the Monash Hall. The foundation stone shows that Premier Tom Playford laid the foundation stone but it was actually done by local MP Mr McGillvray because Playford was called back to Adelaide for a cabinet meeting due to WW2 being declared. Early dances in the hall saw the men leave the hall at supper time so they could have a beer as liquor licensing laws of the time forbid alcohol in unlicensed public premises.
Someone asked Danny if Ali was nervous about doing the speech in front of some 130+ people. His answer..., “Ali can speak underwater with a bag over her head on this subject so no, she’s not too nervous.” Nice one Danny!!
Her answer: “You’ve been the closest person I’ve had to a father figure.” We didn’t think we’d done much at all, except to provide her with a home when she needed it, but it meant much more than that to her. She remembered that we helped her write a resume & helped get her drivers license. So we were chuffed to travel over to WA and share her very special wedding day.
Danny and Melissa
Unexpected Celebrity Status A funny story … Travelling home from farm visits at Crystal Brook, we were looking for Princess Royal Station, near Burra, to view a shed there. Danny didn’t look up directions. He was sure he knew where it was (typical bloke). But after driving down a metal road that was becoming just a track, we turned into a farm house.
Ali did a 10 minute speech after the launch as it was also the 75th anniversary of the Monash Memorial Hall. The current hall was completed in 1939.
••
As is common, the friends of our daughter (Melanie) used to spend time at our place on weekends during their school years. One friend had an absent father and other family issues. At 17 she lived with us for around 6 months while she sorted things out.
When the sun has gone down and they’ve have no luck finding him, they return home to hear the sounds of Santa’s loud bells ringing and a throaty “Ho Ho Ho… Merry Christmas” as he disappears into the night sky. The kids race inside to find presents strewn under the Christmas tree and the excitement of opening them commences. A simple yet fun way to get the kids out of the house while Santa arrives … & one they’ll hopefully remember fondly when they are older.

The owner (Paul) came outside, took one look at us and said, “G’day Danny & Ali. What are you doing here?” “Huh? How does he Paul & Laura Wedding, know our names?” OK, Booborowle SA so we were in a Grant Sheds ute and Danny had on his work shirt with his name on it, but that didn’t explain how he knew Ali’s name. Turns out he receives our FARM GATE NEWS and enjoys the read. We had a great chat before getting directions back to Princess Royal -that we’d already passed! It’s another BIG edition of Farm Gate News this month so we’ll leave you to mow your way through it. All the best ….

Top-Catch Mallee Import Local Pinnaroo “import”, Bec Niejalke has instigated a community fundraiser for Elise Summerton and Luke Kennedy who were involved in an horrific car accident in September 2013. Bec and the committee have banded together to create an event, to be held on March 29, to raise funds for Elise and Luke to help them re-build their lives. Read the story on page 7 and help them out with a donation or join in the event.

We say Bec is an “import” because she’s an Adelaide girl moved bush! She married local bloke, Todd Niejalke and they have a baby boy, William and another due soon. She’s certainly a country girl at heart as she embraces community life in a mallee town. She’s a top-catch, not just for Todd, but for the whole Pinnaroo community. I’m sure they’d agree.

STOP PRESS
Passing of A Legend Danny’s father, Otto Halupka, died on 31st January 2015 after a short, but acute, battle with a very aggressive cancer. Widely known in the Riverland through his fruit grower and social circles of friends, his funeral was attended by over 200 people. Having only recently interviewed him to get his life story, we’ll tell you more about him in our next edition of FARM GATE NEWS. Thank you to everyone who had already heard about his passing and sent messages of condolence. Thanks also to those who have
been understanding if we’ve had any delays in responding to your inquiries. With 4 family members in our office, a death in the family can be quite disruptive to business, but we’re now back on track. Thank you also to our staff who have pulled together to help us out. Your efforts are very much appreciated. We’ve been blown away by the care and consideration shown to us by so many people. A simple “Thank you” doesn’t seem enough.

Diversification Imp
For Far West Coast Mildy & Tracey Chandler Penong, Far West Coast SA
DI-VERSIFIC
Like any sporting man, Milton Chandler likes to hedge his bets. It’s a tactic that’s seen him notch up almost 400 senior footy games and that has also ensured his success farming 2,000 acres in the relative isolation of Penong near the Nullarbor Plain in South Australia. One of only about 25 farmers occupying the narrow strip of farming land between Penong and Ceduna, Milton grows wheat, barley and a small amount of oats on about 10,000 acres. In addition he runs 4500 self-replacing merino sheep, providing a vital diversification and income for when cropping years are tough. “They’re a very handy income in marginal country,” Milton explains. “A lot of years, if the crop’s light, then you’ve still got a wool cheque. And meat is really good at the moment. We sold 1400 sheep, prior to August that all went to market, and we’ve averaged about $100 a head for those 1400 sheep. So it’s a good little income.”

His latest here is a 15m x 30m x 6.3m Machinery Shed, open on one end for great w land grain farming equipment.

continuous cropping 20,000 acres would simply be too great. Last year alone Milton’s cost of fertiliser was $150,000 while chemicals and fuel were around $80,000 and $120,000 a piece. “Yeah it’s a big investment, particularly if you don’t reap a crop. We’ve always reaped something but we’ve had a couple of years where we’ve only delivered probably 100 - 120 tonne after seed, that’s just been disastrous.” The past five or six seasons have been more favourable, however, with good weather and good prices following on from a few years that Milton notches down as “a bit of a battle”. And as a second generation farmer of the land, his family has 54 years to look back upon. Milton’s father bought the original 5000 acres in 1960 and the Chandlers have been adding to the property ever since. “Progressively we bought a bit of dirt as we could afford it and as it came up,” Milton says. “So it’s a good size farm now. We’ve got a bit of scope. We can actually crop a few extra acres or run a good mob of sheep and in marginal country you need to have a few acres.”

That growth has also included the constant upgrading of plant and machinery, and constructing the necessary sheds to house it in. Over the past two decades Milton has purchased seven different structures from Grant Sheds

Farmers These are also investments Milton hopes to one day pass onto his sons. With four boys aged between 12 and 20, odds are one will stay on to manage the farm.

“I’m not sure how many of them are going to be farmers, but I’d like to think a couple of them will be. It’s all about progress I suppose. You’ve got to keep moving forward.”
shed with Grant Sheds owner, Danny Halupka.
y likes and why he’s now had 7 farm shed structures from width and height clearance for today’s extremely large dry r additional undercover storage. including an initial 150 tonne Sliding Roof Bulk Fertiliser Shed, another 80ft by 50ft shed, a Machinery/Workshop capable of housing a semitrailer with room to spare, a couple of lean-to’s and, most recently, a 100ft by 50ft shed with 30ft lean-to that Grant Sheds builders erected in three to four days.
But Milton may have some competition in the career stakes with his 14-year-old a promising sportsman who has just been accepted at a school in Adelaide based on his football and academic record.
This year the teenager has headed off to college on his own, leaving his close-knit community where everyone knows each other and cares about what’s going on. “He’s going to have a great opportunity there, I think, three or four other lads from Ceduna are going over to college also…and one of them is a pretty close mate. I think it will be a whole lot easier for him than it would be otherwise.” With Milton playing nearly 400 games himself with local football club the Western United Tigers, and his wife Tracey also a veteran of over 300 senior netball games and 11 A-grade premierships, I guess there is every chance that the boys will have some ability.
‘Mildy’ Chandler with Grant Sheds builder, Steve who has been happy building Grant farm sheds throughout the state for around 25 years. Clear proof that he believes Grant sheds are the best. Each shed has been erected by the same Grant Sheds’ builder, who Milton now classes as a friend. Milton explains he initially heard about Grant Sheds through a neighbour. Since then he has purchased each of his sheds in a bid to protect the farm’s investment in machinery. With the property only 25km to the coast, this is particularly critical due to the salt air. “If you’ve got equipment, it’s got to be in a shed, and I’ve had a good experience with Grant’s in the past so it was every reason why I’d buy another one. It’s a good product.”
SKIN CHECKS VITAL
On the day we visited Mi ldy at Penong, he’d only recen tly had some more possible skin cancers removed from his face (he nce the tape & scars above). He strongly advocates regular skin ch ecks from your GP, or better still, ask for a referral to a skin specialist as they will be much more familia r with what they are looking for .
Melanoma Scare Another stroke of good fortune when it comes to Milton’s health was the timely diagnosis of a melanoma in the mid 1990s, caught just before the cancer entered his bloodstream. “I had a small mole on my right eyebrow. I didn’t take any notice of it but my wife Tracey spotted it and said, ‘You better go and get that seen to’. So I went and had a biopsy done on it. The local GP didn’t think there was anything too much to worry about. He called me four or five days later and said …
I had better get my arse back
Laughing off any suggestion he may be a “local legend”, Milton puts his lengthy footy career down to providence.
Well he didn’t use those words…but I understood what he meant. He had a bit of urgency about him.
“I’ve just been lucky enough that I haven’t had too many injuries over the years. I’m close to playing 400 senior games. Whether I get there or not we’ll see, but there’s about five or six to go, I think.”
Milton travelled to Adelaide for surgery to find the melanoma was at stage three, almost into his blood stream. Three centimeters was removed from his right eyebrow.
With the 2014 season now over, hitting that milestone will be a challenge reserved for 2015 but Milton isn’t too fussed about notching up such a big number.
“Fortunately for me they got it all. If it wasn’t for Tracey, I suppose I may not be here at the moment. I’ve had another melanoma taken off since then. It’s obviously just from me not taking enough care when I was a young bloke.”
“I’ve had a good career and been lucky enough to play in some premierships for Westies. There’s not too many people that have been fortunate enough to play that many games. I’ve had mates that have blown knees out in their early to mid 20s and never play again, so I’ve been very lucky.”
And he knows there are many other farmers who have the potential to be in the same situation after a lifetime working under the sun. “Take a bit more care. Chuck a hat on and stay out of the sun as much as possible. Definitely get yourself checked on a regular basis.” It’s all about hedging a bet, and a little like Milton’s approach to both farming and football - you guard against the lean years but make sure you enjoy those that are good.

Horrific Country Road Accident Leads To
STRENGTH & COMMUNITY
A horrific country road accident has meant complete upheaval for this young Pinnaroo couple. Their determination shows the strengths that can be discovered from such difficult adversity. Here’s the story of Elise Summerton & Luke Kennedy. It was a year and one day before their planned wedding when a young Pinnaroo couple’s lives would be altered beyond imagination by a horrific car accident on a remote country road. Now faced with the types of challenges many of us would struggle to bear, Elise Summerton and Luke Kennedy are determined to rebuild their lives. Luke and Elise met in 2011, while both working at the grain silos in Pinnaroo. Elise is a born and bred Pinnaroo local, while Luke grew up in the Yarra Valley on a winery/ dairy farm and had started carpentry before relocating to Pinnaroo to farm. When Elise moved to Adelaide to study Medical Science/Optometry, Luke travelled between his farm and Adelaide to visit, and in March 2013 he proposed. On September 19 that year they were busily planning their wedding and country life together. The couple had visited a Canola crop near Luke’s farm at Kringin (just south of Paruna and 50km north of Pinaroo) where Luke had been planning the perfect photo backdrop for their wedding. They were only kilometres from their farm when they rounded a corner to face an oncoming car that had crossed into their path. The cars collided head-on. “Luke sustained multiple complex fractures to his face, hip, pelvis and both feet,” Elise explains. “I only broke three bones - my femur as well as two vertebrae.”
But those injuries left Elise a quadriplegic and Luke endured massive facial and hip surgeries to have dozens of metal plates and screws inserted. They spent a month in the Royal Adelaide Hospital before transferring to Hampstead Rehabilitation Centre. Luke had to learn to walk, talk and eat all over again. Elise had to learn the basics, from sitting to balance, simple bed mobility and building endurance to last sitting up all day. She also had to learn to work with her ‘new’ hands. “I have been lucky to have some movement return in my right-hand fingers,” she says. Luke was discharged in January 2014 with a long road to recovery still ahead. Elise remained there until the end of June and was elated to discover a tiny wiggle in her toes which progressed to a small amount of movement in her right leg. They have now begun their lives again in their new home and continue therapy. “We celebrated my 21st at the end of July, and are going to make the best we can out of our unexpected situation,” Elise says. “We will still plan for a dream wedding, to live on the farm and have a family.
“We are both determined not to be ‘disabled’ by our disabilities” “We’ll figure out our way around our new ‘normal’.”
Help this young couple adjust to their new ‘normal’. The Pinnaroo community is staging a fundraiser on Sunday, March 29. It includes a great day of family entertainment featuring a walk, run or wheelchair roll around the Pinnaroo town centre. Detailed information is available at the website where registration and donation forms can be filled out. Those interested in attending, assisting with or donating to this worthy event can also contact Bec Niejalke (contact details to right here).
