Our objective: We will work to support a vibrant and active community life that contributes to new forms of local and neighbourhood organisations. We will encourage opportunities for recreation to support diverse leisure activities such as life-long learning, entertainment, cultural and religious activities. Our focus will be on enhancing library, museum, community arts, cultural activities and services, quality of life, social development and recreation and sporting activities.

Promoting well being through leisure and learning.

UNLEY LEISURE AND LEARNING

A continued commitment to life-long learning saw the City of Unley offer a range of recreational and educational programs and activities to promote well being and support a vibrant and active community life in 06:07.

A focus on encouraging opportunities for leisure and recreation saw the opening of the Unley Swimming Centre Cool Down Café, created to serve the community by providing a variety of healthy menu options.

The centre enjoyed approximately 90,000 visitors over the swimming season, with Learn To Swim program attendance up 11 per cent and Aquarobics attendance up 22 per cent on last season.

The Unley Swimming Centre also hosted its second Megaswim event, raising funds for Multiple Sclerosis. The event has raised over $16,000 with the help of over 200 participants including residents, City of Unley staff and an elected member.

In supporting a vibrant and active community life, the Goodwood Oval Junior and Senior Playground project was completed in July 2006. The new playground was opened after community consultation and includes native plants to compliment the playground area.

The Heywood Park redevelopment was completed in December 2006 with the installation of the senior playground equipment, a new BBQ facility and

• Contribute to local community and cultural life by providing opportunities for cultural expressions and learning.

• Enhance community wealth, well-being, quality of life and social development through the provision of quality recreational and sporting opportunities.

• Provide an equitable distribution of a diverse range of quality open space and protect these open spaces to maximise the social, cultural, environmental and health benefits for its citizens.

Reserves and parks are one of Unley’s valued assets and contribute to the well being of residents through active and passive recreational use.

The availability of reserves and parks in the City of Unley is one of the lowest in the metropolitan local government area and every opportunity to increase and optimise use of available open space is important.

The need to continuously learn through a person’s life requires easy access to physical and information facilities.

additional seating. The Fullarton Park Playground project was also completed, including the installation of colourful rubber softfall into the fenced area of Fullarton Park, adjoining the Fullarton Park Community Centre.

A focus on enhancing libraries saw Unley’s youngest residents sit in the laps of their loved ones to participate in songs, rhymes, and stories during a program called Babytime at the Unley Libraries. In 06:07 Babytime expanded to include Baby Wishes, where parents can register their babies for a Happy Birthday sing-along on their special day and Baby’s First Word, where parents can share the story behind their baby’s fi rst word.

Focusing on enhancing social development and quality of life, the Unley Libraries provided 51 community computing courses, taught by volunteers, to over 250 senior members. The program taught how to use computers, including the Internet and email.

Wireless Internet access was introduced to the Unley Library, enabling users of any age to bring in their own computers and enjoy free Internet access.

The Unley Libraries also hosted a series of highly successful visits by a range of featured authors including Tegan Bennet Daylight, Kate Grenville, Lionel Shriver and Richard Flanagan to promote reading,

discussion of books, and promotion of Australian authors.

A focus on enhancing museum services saw Unley Museum’s Access Gallery hold a vibrant program of fi ve exhibitions, covering topics from Hockey Clubs to Handicrafts. 350 school students attended educational programs run by the Museum, including a new program relating to the history of shopping.

Young musicians were involved in promoting a positive image for young people by participating in the Summer Music Program. The Program provided 12 young people the opportunity to perform almost 20 free concerts on main streets, at markets, cafes and the Unley Swimming Centre for other young people. 150 young writers also learnt about the process of creating and refi ning their work as part of Write On, an event hosted by the City of Unley for National Youth Week.

A diverse range of cultural, sporting, recreational and active ageing programs were offered across the City of Unley’s four community centres, Clarence Park, Fullarton Park, Goodwood and Unley Citizens’. Programs included, lifelong learning, English language, music lessons, Future Families, Focus Fitness Indoor Cycling, Keep Fit Yoga, Let’s Dance, Tai Chi, Aquacise, indoor bowls and billiards.

Violet Rowe displayed her collection of dancing dresses and accessories at Unley Museum’s Access Gallery. A passionate collector of clothes for over 40 years her collection fi lls 3 sheds, all bursting at the seams.

Featuring beautifully beaded 1920’s sheath dresses, sheer fl oating confections from the 1930s and elegant crepe dresses and fox fur stoles of the 1940s. These dresses contrast dramatically with the full and fabulous styles from the 1950s and 60s that almost dance off the walls.

The clothes and accessories re live the glamour of going dancing when dressing up was a serious business.

Among the 20 pairs of collector shoes on display are 1960s diamante clad Christian Dior, lusciously beaded slippers and a pair with cute blue daisies that were carefully attached by their owner to match her dress.

“One of the things I love about Violet’s display is the accessories. The bags, the gloves, the stoles, the jewellery – there are lots of sparkles, even a tiara”, enthuses the Museum’s curator, Kate Walker.

Violet’s interest in clothes started when she got a job working in the Misses Salon in the Myer Emporium on the fashion fl oor.

“I did in-store modelling and advertising for Myers on television in the early ‘60s. I spent a good proportion of my pay on clothes and accessories which started a lifelong love affair with fashion”, says Violet.

COVER COVER SPREAD

Recently employed as Artistic Director of Adelaide’s upcoming Feast Festival, Daniel reflects on his life in Unley, and how the City of Villages helped him achieve his dreams.

Growing up in Millswood, Daniel has lived in the City of Unley on and off since he was five-years-old.

“I loved the beautiful old Unley home that we lived in - it had a huge backyard with veggies and chickens. I used to cycle and play in the streets, I always felt safe,” said Daniel.

“We used to do crazy things, it sounds so cliché but we used to set up little lemonade stalls, and make things, and sell them out the front of the house,” he recalls laughing.

One of Daniel’s favourite childhood secrets resonated right here in Unley.

“I was about 13 or 14 when three friends and I snuck out one night to go to the Royal Show,” he said.

“My parents didn’t want me to go at night, but they had gone out and some neighbours were checking on us… We stuffed our beds with pillows, took the phone off the hook, snuck out the front window and left a little gap in the curtain, so when the neighbours came to see if we were ok, they could peer in and we’d look fast asleep in bed!” he said laughing.

Daniel and his friends caught the train from Clarence Park to Goodwood, enjoyed a few excitingly free hours at the Royal Show and returned home again without ever getting caught, or at least Daniel thinks so.

In his late teens Daniel moved to Ella Street, Unley, with his sister.

“The backyard was magical, we used to spend hours on the trampoline, laying around, playing and reading, finding it just a little too difficult to go up the road to Flinders Uni,” he said smiling.

“It was a real community, we used to pop into each others houses for tea, coffee… Champagne,” he laughed.

“There was a period in my early twenties when most of my friends lived in Unley, from travelling I’ve realised you don’t get that kind of community in other cities.”

Daniel has travelled to 23 different countries including Costa Rica, Mexico, the United Kingdom and United States of America. “I have friends I still keep in touch with from France, England and Montreal. They all came and stayed with me in Unley, it was amazing,” he said.

Daniel’s love of Unley stems from the simple things in life, “I love the trees, I love the café culture on King William Road, and I love Spats, and the village atmosphere”.

At 18, Daniel joined Unley Youth Theatre, now called Urban Myth Theatre of Youth, and worked as an actor and workshop assistant.

“I’ve wanted to be involved with theatre since I was six-years-old. I watched the film Mary Poppins and loved it so much I decided I wanted to be an actor!”

Mentored by the artistic director at the time, Daniel began tutoring and

continued a strong involvement with the theatre company for five years.

“It was a great stepping stone for what was to come,” said Daniel.

“I studied drama at Flinders University and acting at The Centre of Performing Arts and Manchester Metropolitan University in England.” I then set up my own theatre company in Adelaide called Zip Antics, all members were previously from Unley Youth Theatre,” he said.

Daniel won the Dame Ruby Litchfield Scholarship for the Performing Arts and moved back to the UK in 2002.

After four years abroad, Daniel returned to Unley in February this year, highly successful, married and very much in love.

“My partner Nick Pelomis and I won our wedding in Gay Times Magazine. I saw the competition and got Nick to enter and sure enough he won!” laughed Daniel.

“The wedding was held in the Swissotel – The Howard – right on the Thames. Our room looked out on to the National Theatre, Big Ben, and the London Eye. We could see St Paul’s it was stunning.”

Daniel and Nick wore suits from the 1970’s, wrote the ceremony themselves and said their vows in front of 27 guests, all family and close friends.

“It was very emotional, I was crying at the dress rehearsal!” said Daniel.

Four days after his return to Adelaide, Daniel began his new role

“I want everyone to fall in love, celebrate love, loving choices, loving community, loving mind, and the different ways that people love.”

with Feast and recently announced this year’s theme – Love.

“Love is a theme we can all connect with and it offers lots of different ways for the community and artists to respond. It’s a theme we can all relate to,” said Daniel.

“I want everyone to fall in love, celebrate love, loving choices, loving community, loving mind, and the different ways that people love.”

“I chose love in hope that artists can respond to the theme in their creation of work for the festival,” he said.

Daniel has been involved with Feast since the first festival 11 years ago, first as an audience member, and then as a producer and a director.

“Feast is Adelaide’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer festival, it runs for two weeks and celebrates queer performance,” said Daniel.

“This years festival is going to reach out to more people than ever before, it’s going to be incredible, there’s over 500 artists involved.”

Daniel describes Feast as an open and accessible arts festival. “People need to come and see Feast like they would the Fringe Festival. It doesn’t matter what sexual orientation you are, there’s something for everyone.”

The City of Unley is getting involved as well.

“I’ve had a strong connection to the area for a long time,” Daniel said smiling.

Unley Library will host the Feast Living Library on Thursday, November

22, where books are actually people from the queer community. Members of the public can borrow a book (a person) for up to 30 minutes to find out more about their lives and experiences.

Artist Jo Kerlogue will be facilitating a live art event, taking place in local government spaces across Adelaide. The City of Unley will be involved directly with Jo to create a happening, a performance, an artistic snapshot in time. Much like the living library, Jo will be available to talk with customers and staff, and share stories that will be interpreted in the artwork.

Sponsored by the City of Unley, She by Purr Productions tackles many issues young women think about, ‘What do women think about food? Fat? Guys? Girls? Love?’ She is a work-in-progress that concludes with interactive forum theatre. Creator Amy Murphy-Higgins is a resident of Goodwood.

Urban Myth Theatre of Youth, D Faces of Youth Arts from Whyalla, Riverland Youth Theatre and Southern Youth Theatre Ensemble will also present four new pieces of theatre that have been inspired by Oscar Wilde’s love poems.

Other artists will come to perform from New York, London, Tokyo, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and all over Adelaide.

“Don’t miss the Wau Wau Sisters, New York’s bravest and bawdiest burlesque duo, or Topping and Butch, a comedic duo from the UK who

have sold out shows at the Edinburgh Comedy Festival,” enthused Daniel.

This year Feast has the largest number of artistic events of any queer festival in Australia. “If it keeps going at this pace I hope that it becomes the number one queer arts cultural festival in Australia,” said Daniel.

“It’s been the most intense, time consuming, hard working few months of my life, but I love it. I am hugely ambitious and hugely driven, I love people and different cultures and travel, I love socialising and I love being in love!”

The Feast Festival will explode Saturday, November 10 to Sunday, November 25, 2007.

Feast your eyes on Daniel Clarke. Raised in Unley, he has travelled the world and returned to his roots, wiser, married and flirting with love in every possible way.

Environmentally friendly papers are on the top of our agenda. We have been observing their performance and thought to pass on some interesting results. The clocks represent the amount of “green” papers put into the market. In the next S Files I will be reporting back on how we have travelled. It is significant you view this and take notice; you have the control to move it forward.

Here are a few tips on how you can make a difference:

1. Specify Monza Monza is our flagship grade for more than one reason, it is environmentally friendly, contains 55% recycled material and performs and looks like any other coated paper. Have you thought about it this way, using Monza means that 55% less trees are diminished? That’s a huge amount of timber if you take into account Australia uses close to 1 million tonnes of fine paper annually.

2. Specify 9 lives 9 lives is the greenest coated paper we have. At 80% recycled and just like Monza it’s a great sheet! Once again if all your print jobs were specified on 9 Lives that’s 80% fewer trees cut down.

3. When obtaining a quote don’t just ask for “coated gloss or satin” get a recycled option with 50% plus recycled material.

Not specifying this you are certain to get an environmentally inferior product. If the difference in price is too much, call me. Let’s halve the amount of trees being cut down. By Guy Hamlyn

John Prasad Clocks up 25 yearsBy Antony Laforgia January 2007, saw John Prasad celebrate 25 years of service with the PaperlinX group.

John commenced with Dalton Fine Paper as a Sales Cadet in 1981, his roles within the group include Internal Sales, Purchasing, Sales Representative, Sales Manager and Customer Service Manager. October 2001 saw a new era in John’s employment when he transferred to Spicers Paper as Customer Service Manager.

25 years service has provided a number of memorable experiences for John, including a short term posting in the Dalton Sydney branch and a legendary trip to Japan to visit a supplier.

John has a passion for his food, wine and getting out on his bright green Merida road bike, letting his hair down as he pedal’s his way along the coast with his son Josh.

Spicers Adelaide is fortunate to have a person of John’s experience, extensive paper merchanting knowledge and loyalty. We wish him many more years of service with the PaperlinX group.

Splendorgel

In the few short years that we have been promoting Splendorgel, it would be very close to, if not, the most popular economically priced specialty grade in the market.

Splendorgel’s popularity hasn’t occurred just through good luck but more because it offers so many features and benefits. Such benefits as an ultra smooth surface, high whiteness, a laser guarantee up to 140gsm, an extensive range of sizes and weights, matching envelopes, environmental accreditations and a new complementing digital grade.

Splendorgel can be used for a multitude of purposes including corporate identity, certificates, letterheads, invitations, presentation folders, books, brochures and for direct mail.

Manufactured by the Cartiere Fedrigoni group, Splendorgel’s appeal is its appearance and its performance, a premium grade paper without the premium price!

Digital Market

Take a look in the back of your price book and you’ll see an exciting new section….Digital Grades! Spicers Paper will soon have the largest range of papers that are specially formulated for Indigo presses and suitable for all other digital printing. At Spicers we love paper, and are excited when new markets open up.

Splendorgel Digital has been exceeding expectations, delivering a high quality premium product to clients who demand nothing less. The Splendorgel brand is growing and you can be sure to rely on the quality and consistency. Clients who specify their digital printing on Splendorgel Digital are confident of the premium results they have had with offset Splendorgel.

For samples please phone Emma on (08) 8243 9336.

Starbright & Starblack

Starbright has a smoother surface than Starwhite. This smoother surface provides exceptional sharpness and colour definition for outstanding results, achieving a 50% reduction in dot gain, retaining all the properties of an uncoated sheet while enhancing its digital printing performance. Being such a white, clean, smooth sheet it surprisingly has 50% recycled content. Starbright is available in 4 weights – 104gsm, 118gsm, 148gsm and 270gsm. 104gsm and 118gsm are laser guaranteed.

Starblack is ultra black and has a similar finish to Starwhite Smooth. Starblack will be one of the “blackest” specialty papers on the market, a smooth stock with a great versatility, particularly if used in conjunction with Flirt - Spicers new custom embossing service. Starblack is available in 216gsm and a chunky 352gsm.

Flirt

Flirt is a new custom embossing service from Spicers. Our stocks can now be embossed in 20 different patterns, reminiscent of contemporary interior and industrial design textures and building materials.

The ability to emboss stocks to order has a number of benefits - providing greater versatility by mixing and matching combinations of papers and patterns, allowing for large quantities of embossed stock to be readily available.

Embossed stocks have been seen as old-fashioned, especially when traditional designs such as linen, hammer and leathergrain dominate the market. Now there are more modern patterns that lend themselves to combine with more contemporary

stocks, e.g. Stephen, Splendorgel and Curious.

Flirt is a fun innovative concept to use your favourite paper brands and expand your creative opportunities.

Spicers Paper donates $100 to the program for every tonne of Tudor RP 100% Recycled sold.

Emma, Guy and I visited Wirranendi to inspect the progress of the restoration program. We were accompanied by Zoe and Peter from the Adelaide City Council who escorted us on a hike (Emma won’t be wearing stilettos next time!).

We tasted bush tucker which consisted of red berries that we picked from the native plants and gathered a great deal of information about the parks history and future.

Visiting Wirranendi we learnt that the park has many dedicated volunteers who maintain the parks cleanliness and ensure the habitat is well looked after. There is actually a group that performs a census on frogs!

We continue to generate further funding for the Wirranendi/Landcare program through the Tudor RP 100% initiative. New products will be added to the range shortly.

There has been considerable progress at Wirranendi and another planting day is planned for later this year, so let us know if you are interested in getting your hands dirty! By Mark Hanson
