EDITORIAL COMMENT
“Cherry Boys” Scrambles Reunion 2013
Sunday November 24 from 11am.
During the early 1970s, the sport of motorbike
―scrambles‖ racing grew strongly with the availability of
affordable Japanese race bikes, such as the Suzuki TM
series, the Yamaha MX series and the Honda Elsinore‘s.
The film ―On Any Sunday‖ really brought the sport alive
around the world.
In Cherry Gardens, John (RIP), Chris and Terry Wigzell
from Dorset Vale Rd and Dean Vick and Shane Wade
from Vick‘s Rd. were highly successful racers while from
Ironbank there was Rob Hayden on what is now Pole Rd.
On many weeknights and most weekends the sound of 2
stroke race engines could be heard echoing for long
distances around the district as they all practiced to
improve their skills. (There were no noise restrictions in
those early days.) Racers from Blackwood and
Coromandel Valley who practiced with them included
Gary Dillon, Kym Saunders, Murray and John Chapple,
Brian Radford, Vic Haddow, Mike Barclay, ―Zappa‖
Cherry Boys cont…. Hodgson, as well as Les Gillard
(RIP), Randy Goldsworthy and lots of others. (Many of
these went on to race speedway very successfully in
various forms – solo‘s, sidecars, speedcars and
sprintcars- in later years.) Pit crew included Mark
Watchman (RIP), Peter and Dave Winn, Robbie Barclay,
Ashley and Craig Gifford, Dave Stapleton, Michael King
and many others. The group was christened the ―Cherry
Boys‖ by Chris Wigzell, and became very well known
throughout the speedway and motocross worlds in the
seventies.
Scrambles racing (soon to be known as motocross) was
huge in those days, with crowds of up to 10,000 people
attending events at Clarendon, Snake Gully, Coleman
Park (St. Kilda) Woodside and many other venues, and
up to 300 riders racing. Lots of locals from around the
district used to come and cheer us on.
The Cherry Boys all tended to hang around together,
going to Rowley Park speedway on summer Friday
nights, (to watch our hero Bill Wigzell) roller skating on
winter Friday nights, (Bill used to come too and was
faster than us!) water skiing at Younghusband, and of
course practicing on our bikes at every opportunity.
1
Disco‘s were becoming popular then and we bopped the
night away at the Belair Hotel, Blackwood Footy Club,
Top of Tap‘s etc. (Even the Blackwood Golf Club held
one once – but never again!) Many spectacular parties
were held in the Cherry Gardens Hall in those days, and
we also used to go to the snow together annually.
Eventually we all settled down and many of the guys
moved out of the area. Age and responsibility caught up,
and we all developed diverse careers, raised families,
and found new interests in life. Unfortunately we found
that life was so busy that we hardly ever saw each other
except increasingly these days at funerals, which are
always sad occasions. At Bill Wigzell‘s funeral last year
we committed that we would get together again under
happier circumstances, and so the idea of the Cherry
Boys reunion was born.
To be held at the oval, the bar will be open, BBQ food will
be available, there will be a slide show and some movies,
a few bikes and maybe some classic cars on display.
Entry is free, and all catering proceeds will go to the
Ironbank Cherry Gardens Recreation Ground Inc.
Everyone from the local community and anyone else who
was involved with us in those days is welcome to join us
at the Cherry Gardens oval as we get together to catch
up with old friends and remember ―the good old days‖.

The recent Federal Election provided the Cherry Gardens
CFS the opportunity to connect with you, our local
community in a very real and personal way. It also
allowed us to be beneficiaries of the generosity of the
people of Cherry Gardens community. You all gave
willingly and without stint to your local CFS and we would
like to take the opportunity to say a very big ‗Thank you‘
to each and every one. Not everyone was able to drop
some money in our donations bucket, but just about
everybody had some words of encouragement and
support and we were able to provide a number of you
with some of the valuable information that will help you
plan and prepare for the fire danger season. I‘m sure
some of the kids like their little CFS promotional material
too.
The funds that we are raising will go towards the
significant goal of purchasing a tanker of 10,000 litres or
greater capacity, which will be housed in the Cherry
Gardens CFS station at some stage in the future. I will be
providing more details on this in future issues of the
Cherry Chatter.
CFS cont…. It‘s also worth remembering that we also
are the emergency service that helps out in the event of
vehicle accidents and other circumstances where lives
and property are at risk.
Thanks again to all of you and we look forward to your
ongoing support, with your donations to our bottle and
can recycling which can ben left in the bin opposite the
Fire Station.

OVER THE STABLE DOOR
with Hamish
Greetings Fellow Equines
and Horse Owners!
Well my news is good. In the last month, my vet and
farrier came on the same day to both trim my feet as well
X-ray them. Overall, the angle of my front hooves has
improved since the founder and the X-rays showed that
the pedal (coffin) bone is now in a normal position. At the
moment I am as sound as a bell and in regular work. The
maintenance issues for me now are to not let me
overgraze on lush spring pastures and also I will very
likely never wear shoes again. I only had two shoeings
and by the time I was due for the third lot my feet had
deteriorated badly as well as developing abscesses. The
shoeing had only been introduced to counteract the front
leg deviation, which my farrier is correcting at each trim.
Now that my hooves are at a better angle, this is much
easier to manage. If I am to be ridden on harder ground, I
have a set of boots to wear which work very well. They
are a great alternative to shoes and save my feet.
On the subject of feet, unless there is a real need for
shoes, then it is far better to be able to go without. A
good farrier or barefoot trimmer will be able to keep your
equine‘s feet in very good condition. Putting nails into the
hoof every six weeks tends to weaken the hoof and
especially here in the hills with the higher than average
SA rainfall, the hooves become soft and prone to
abscesses, thrush and general breaking up. Going
without shoes will help to harden the hoof and make it
stronger. Of course when we are ridden in competitive
events and many hours are spent practising, or just being
ridden on trail rides through varied terrain, then some
extra protection may be needed. The old horseman‘s
saying of ‗No ‗oof, no ‗orse‘ is so true. So it is important to
pay special attention to this area. All horses are different
and some of us just have terrible feet – the poor
thoroughbred being a good case in point. Any changes to
the hoof need to be done expertly and gradually over a
period of time. It is also useful to shop around for a skilled
farrier/trimmer. Talk to your riding friends, look carefully
at other horses‘ feet, speak with your farrier about the
shape/angle of the hooves and how they are wearing. In
other words, do your research. The science of horses
feet, their care and management is ongoing and there
are always changes. So what stood true fifty years ago
may not necessarily be true today.
When you bring your horse out of the paddock to prepare
him/her for riding, the very first thing you should do –
before grabbing that grooming brush etc, is to clean out
the feet. The grooming could well be a waste of time if
there is an abscess or a thrown shoe! As you pick up
each hoof, you can also be feeling for any heat, which
will be a sign of something going on, as well as noticing
any swelling in the cannon, fetlock or pastern area. Even
a reluctance to lift a hoof may indicate a lameness on the
Hamish cont… opposite leg. All these signs give you
information about the useability of your steed. As you go
through this procedure, you also become used to
knowing what is ‗normal‘ for your horse. For example he
may always be a bit stiff on a particular leg. Any changes
to what you know of as normal for your horse may
indicate that further action, such as veterinary needs to
be taken. When you consider that 90% of lameness will
occur in the hoof, then these simple procedures will help
to keep problems somewhat more under control.
That‘s all for this month – back to my paddock (for a short
while anyway!)
Safe riding to you all, Hamish.

GARDEN CLUB REPORT
th
June 11 saw guest speaker James Smith of Faunature
sharing his passion about bringing wildlife into our
backyards. He has written several articles for gardening
magazines and been a guest on 891 radio.
On 29th June our president hosted a morning tea with a
difference – a workshop on sharpening and maintaining
garden tools in his well equipped shed We brought our
spades, shovels, trowels, forks, hedge, shears, hoes,
loppers, grubbers, secateurs, axes and scissors to
sharpen using gloves safety glasses , steel wool, file,
wire brush, grinding stones, wet & dry abrasive paper.
Followed by a sizzle for lunch.
8 July was our AGM so and we have a great balance of
old and new committee members. The quiz sorted out
dabblers from the garden gurus!
12th August Tony Anderson of Mt Lofty Botanic Gardens
screened a breathtaking presentation of Camellias,
Magnolias and other exotic plants in their native habitat,
filmed on his recent research trip to the Himalayas.
September Peats Soils sales Manager, Trent Milford,
presented an interesting and informative talk to us about
his Company‘s history and it‘s current products. The
company began 43 years ago, sourcing pine bark from
Kuitpo Saw Mill and distributing the composted product,
in hessian bags, and with a hand written cardboard label,
to a handful of local landscapers. They now operate on 3
sites, Willunga, Dublin, and Brinkley, using state of the art
machinery to produce a range of products including
4
compost made from kerbside green waste. Trent
generously supplied bagged potting soil and garden
compost to lucky members of the club.

Grow seedlings to help South Australia’s
environment
Trees For Life is looking for volunteers to grow native
seedlings this summer.
Through the award-winning Tree Scheme, volunteers are
asked to grow and care for the seedlings for landholders
and revegetation projects in South Australia.
The Tree Scheme operates by annual seedling orders
being taken for landholders, councils, government
projects and private enterprise, with Trees For Life then
linking up orders with volunteer growers.
Trees For Life provides all the propagation materials –
seed varieties, tubes, boxes, soil and mulch – free to
volunteers, along with easy-to-follow instructions. Once
sown and raised, seedlings are handed over for planting
in the winter months.
The seedlings provide food and habitat for our native
wildlife, help counteract some of South Australia‘s
Trees For Life cont… Greenhouse gas emissions and
help rehabilitate land that has been degraded.
Each year volunteers raise hundreds of thousands of
seedlings in a bid to help continue to revegetate SA, and
with the community‘s support, Trees For Life is again
hoping to reach this target.
Those interested in volunteering don‘t need to have a
green thumb – it‘s a perfect way for people to do
something positive to help our environment, it‘s free and
it‘s a feel-good experience!
People interested in becoming a volunteer grower can
phone the office on 8406 0500 or log onto the Trees For
Life website: www.treesforlife.org.au
both selfish and selfless. The Golden Rule helps us to
get the balance right between these contrasting
approaches. His book will provoke debate around these
central issues for humanity and the society we live in.
Bookshops today have shelves full of ―Self Help‖ books
that describe how to be happy and achieve your life
goals. The emphasis in these books is on SELF. That is
why McKay‘s book is so different, because it emphasises
how fulfilled people feel when they devote their lives to
helping others. And being kind, thoughtful and helpful to
others has its own built-in rewards. It explains why people
like Bill and Melinda Gates spend so much of their time
and money helping to make other people‘s lives worth
living. It also helps to explain why so many volunteers like
our own CFS do the wonderful things they do for no pay
at all. The reward lies in knowing they are helping others
and contributing to their community. Our lives are
enhanced by these wonderful volunteers and others who
work for the community they live in.

MEANING IN LIFE
Hugh McKay is one of Australia‘s best known and
respected Social Researchers. In his latest book, THE
GOOD LIFE, he examines the question ―What makes a
life worth living?‖ This is a key question most people ask
themselves on a regular basis as they gain an education,
find a job, earn an income, raise a family, acquire
possessions and search for meaning in these things.
McKay examines the Golden Rule (do unto others as you
would have them do unto you) through the prisms of
religion, philosophy, politics, business and family life and
contrasts this approach to one where people simply
pursue pleasure and self interest. He concludes that a
good life is one where people are connected to others in
society, treating them with respect, kindness and
compassion, knowing their lives have been enriched by
their contact with others in both their professional, family
and societal engagement.
He says the basic message never alters whether your
moral heritage is Socratic, Jewish, Christian, Islamic,
Buddhist, or humanist. Living your life according to the
Golden Rule enables people to find their meaning in life
because it is reinforced by the reaction of others to their
experience of you. McKay concludes that it is in our daily
contact with others that we find fulfillment and meaning.
He says we are both co-operators and competitors, and

Hi all
Sept 2013
Spring has come with a rush; as the air temp warms, so
too does the wildlife activity! Baby possums are coming in
from many Vets as the mothers have died from rat bait
poisoning, electrocution and cat attack. There have been
kookaburras, tawny frogmouths and barn owls bought in
from impact and concussion, that have been able to be
released once stabilised and flying well.
Jimmy, the little Euro from WA, has been desexed and is
now sleeping without a wall heater and able to come in
and out of his ―bedroom‖ day and night. He is housed
next to the enclosure where ―Ollie roo‖ lives, the female
Euro that came here as a joey from Queensland when
her mother was killed by a car over 15 years ago. They
are getting used to each other and soon Jimmy will be
happy to move into the same enclosure with her.
Minton Farm cont….. Madge the Yellow Tail Black
Cocky is eating food by herself and is at last sleeping
outside in her aviary. She demanded to come inside
every night for the past 2 months, which was reasonable
enough given the low night temperatures! She is enjoying
the volunteer conversations and providing entertainment
for all as she joins in!
We have continued to provide hope and direction for
many young people not attending School for various
reasons, and have welcomed their input. The older
volunteers are appreciative not only of the work and the
ethics involved, but also for the camaraderie with other
like-minded people. We have provided specimens for
University Phd students and for post mortem studies and
research. Third Year Vet students at Roseworthy have
used our animals to learn animal handling skills for the
past 8 weeks, and I am grateful to our volunteer drivers
for transporting them to Roseworthy and back.
Our next big adventure is about to unfold as we prepare
th
to host the Telethon Home and Land Lottery on Sept 14
th
th
th
and 15 , and October 19 and 20 . We hope to sell
many tickets for this beautiful, fully furnished home as a
major fund raiser for Minton Farm. We are looking for
assistance on those days if anyone would like to come
along and help to manage sales etc. I would love to have
you on board!
Please keep your cats inside day and night, as the baby
birds and possums are emerging and trying to find their
legs at this time of year especially and the lizards are
emerging from hibernation, often with their eyes stuck
together for a while before they are capable of escaping
predators.

Meadows Vet News
A huge warning to all horse owners!
With all the rain we have had there
is no doubt this will result in great pasture growth and this
will dramatically increase the risk to horses and ponies of
getting Laminitis and Founder. This is a common
condition which causes varying degrees of foot pain, from
the slightly pottery pony to severe life-threatening
lameness. It is not uncommon for
severe and uncontrolled cases to
require euthanasia! It is important to
realise that laminitis can progress
from mild to severe even if early
treatment is instigated. Early
warning signs must be heeded and
action taken immediately! Some of the most common
clinical signs of laminitis include:
 shifting weight from one foot to another,
 standing with weight on rear legs leaning back
 reluctance to walk
 lameness and palpable heat in the feet
 increased pulses in the digital arteries over the
fetlock.
Laminitis is usually caused by overeating feeds rich in
soluble carbohydrates (mainly found in cereal grains and
lush spring or autumn pasture). If you suspect a problem,
don‘t hesitate to call us at the number below for advice.
