I never thought that this week theme (Motion blur) would be so hard.
I had many ideas, tried with many objects during the week, but had to return to my known fidge spinner, an object about which I have some control.
For many is only a toy, for other a way to relax. Mine is made of metal painted with raibow tones, and has 2 inches in size.
For: #Macro Mondays

In the fidge in the bar area of 71 Brewing. Our bartender was pleasant and chatty. Taster drinks were available for us (we were on a tour night for Dundee Photographic Society).
I posted a pic of me with my 'winter bike', my Giant, last year.
Here I am with my true-love, my Colnago C50. I'm putting the photo up as a bit of a pic on the fidge door humiliation thing... I have been living for 18 months in a live work place and the upshot is I've put on weight and really lost my fitness... I truely have to get back on it!!!
Aldinga/Port Willunga.
Farmers started taking up land around Aldinga in the early 1840s. One of the earliest settlers was George Lovelock and family who settled at Aldinga in 1844. Aldinga was laid out as a small town in 1857 by a farmer who subdivided part of his land. He was Lewis Fidge who created the private town of Aldinga. The town was on the coaching route from Adelaide to Willunga. The first public building that was erected was the Free Presbyterian Church which opened in 1856 just before the town was created. Sadly the church was not well built and due to the cost of repairs needed it closed in 1880 and soon weathered into a pile of rubble. The first school opened in Aldinga in 1856 but it was demolished in 1980 by the SA government. The town had a large flourmill from 1848 to 1905. The Wesleyan Methodist Church was opened in 1863 and still stands. Fund raising for the construction of the church began as early as 1854. The Anglican Church opened in 1865 and still stands cross the main south road. The former Temperance Hotel was built in 1868 and was added to later. It was known as Harts Hotel as a Mr Hart ran the business from 1890 to 1920. It is now a restaurant bar and clothing shop. In its heyday Aldinga had a general store, butcher, bootmaker, undertaker and blacksmith, etc.
The land near Port Willunga was one of the first regions surveyed by Colonel William Light and then sold to farmers from 1839 onwards. Port Willunga was established to provide port facilities for the shipping of wheat and grain from the Willunga Plains and later slate from the Willunga quarries. A local farmer Thomas Martin surveyed and established a private town in 1851. The first government jetty was erected in 1853 and then extended in 1857 and again in 1867 when a new and longer jetty was constructed. Port Willunga grew quickly as a major port. By 1863 it was the fifth biggest port in South Australia in terms of value of goods exported to other colonies. In that year it export over £15,000 worth of goods which were mainly flour and wheat. The port had a harbourmaster and a Sub Collector of Customs. In 1863 the ports bigger than Port Willunga were Port Adelaide, Port Wakefield, Port Augusta and Robe. As an indication of its importance as a port the government commissioned a feasibility study into a horse tramway from Willunga to the port and to Noarlunga in 1858 but that never eventuated. As the town grew fashionable stone houses and cottages were built by the mid-1850s and in 1856 the Lewis Arms Hotel opened. The original stone building was added to as the port grew and business thrived. In 1884 the Lewis Arms Hotel was relicensed as the Seaview Hotel which can still be seen today. Around 1899 the Seaview Hotel became a temperance hotel mainly providing accommodation for holiday makers.
The beach here is also known for the Star of Greece shipwreck of July 1888 when 18 men were drowned. Eleven were buried in the Aldinga Wesleyan Methodist Church cemetery. Then in the early 20th century the port rapidly declined. Its death knoll was the penning of the railway line from Adelaide to Willunga in 1915. In 1916 when a violent storm hit the coast the jetty was destroyed and a few remains of this jetty are still to be seen at low tide. The slate quarries of Willunga began operations around 1842. Much of the slate was shipped to Melbourne for roofing tiles. In its heyday Port Willunga also had a chapel in addition to a general store and a blacksmith.

Sellicks Hill.
William Sellick obtained several sections of land here in 1847 and the district was given his name. The first local public building was the Wesleyan Methodist Church with the foundation stone being laid in 1861 and the church opened in February 1862. In 1977 it became a Uniting Church. A local school opened in 1866 and became a state school. It closed in 1941. The Sellicks Hill hotel at the foot of the road was known as Norman’s Victory Hotel. Mr Norman of Normanville petitioned the government for a new easier route from Adelaide to Normanville – his town- in the 1850s. When in 1859 he finally got the government to agree to the new road to Myponga and Normanville it was hailed by the locals as a great victory – Norman’s Victory road. The hotel at Sellicks Hill had been established in 1858 and took the name of the Victory Hotel. Alas it returned to the boring name of Sellicks Hill hotel for many years but has recently readopted the name of the Victory Hotel. These days Sellicks Hill is known for the Nan Hai Po Tuo Buddhist Temple. This fascinating temple as adorned with a giant statue of the Buddha. But the statue has the image of a female in a serene pose, not the usual male Buddha. The Buddha is 18 metres high. Foundations are already laid for a massive 35 metre high pagoda on the temple site as well. Over $15 is being spent on the Buddhist complex and the Buddha statue is believed to have cost around $1 million.

Cabinet card by E. A. Atwater, Princeton, Illinois. Early 1870's.
Atwater presents himself as "Successor to C. H. Masters". He probably purchased the "Masters & Fidge" studio, which was for sale in 1872. However, Charles H. Masters never went away, he just went down the street and opened another studio. Masters continued in business in Princeton until his death in 1920. Atwater appears to have been gone before 1877.

This plaque is attached to Dr. Mackinlay's substantial memorial in the Laigh Kirk graveyard in Kilmarnock where he was inducted and continued to serve Kilmarnock's Presbyterians for many a long year. Mackinlay inspired 'THE ORDINATION' a long poem by Robert Burns, he pokes fun at what he saw as the Calvinistic excess of the 'Auld Lichts'. Burns was born just as Presbyterianism triumphed as Scotland's state religion over the more Episcopalian orthodoxy that sought to migrate northwards. This was the long delayed victory of the Covenanters but it was a victory with countless victims and it seems to me quite surprising that a few decades after all this national trauma Burns is such a regular critic of his own Kirk. It had yet then a power that today's clerics could only dream of wistfully. Burns circulated a numerous copies of his poem, perhaps sensibly often under the decoy name of 'Rob Rhymer', though I suspect that was probably a rather thin disguise.
Here is the full poem;
THE ORDINATION
Kilmarnock wabsters, fidge an' claw,
An' pour your creeshie nations;
An' ye wha leather rax an' draw,
Of a' denominations;
Swith to the Ligh Kirk, ane an' a'
An' there tak up your stations;
Then aff to Begbie's in a raw,
An' pour divine libations
For joy this day.
Curst Common-sense, that imp o' hell,
Cam in wi' Maggie Lauder;
But Oliphant aft made her yell,
An' Russell sair misca'd her:
This day Mackinlay taks the flail,
An' he's the boy will blaud her!
He'll clap a shangan on her tail,
An' set the bairns to daud her
Wi' dirt this day.
Mak haste an' turn King David owre,
And lilt wi' holy clangor;
O' double verse come gie us four,
An' skirl up the Bangor:
This day the kirk kicks up a stoure ;
Nae mair the knaves shall wrang her,
For Heresy is in her pow'r,
And gloriously she'll whang her
Wi' pith this day.
Come, let a proper text be read,
An' touch it aff wi' vigour,
How graceless Ham leugh at his dad,
Which made Canaan a nigger;
Or Phineas drove the murdering blade,
Wi' whore-abhorring rigour;
Or Zipporah,the scauldin jad,
Was like a bluidy tiger
I' th' inn that day.
There, try his mettle on the creed,
An' bind him down wi' caution,
That stipend is a carnal weed
He taks by for the fashion;
And gie him o'er the flock, to feed,
And punish each transgression;
Especial, rams that cross the breed,
Gie them sufficient threshin;
Spare them nae day.
Now, auld Kilmarnock, cock thy tail,
An' toss thy horns fu' canty ;
Nae mair thou'lt rowt out-owre the dale,
Because thy pasture's scanty;
For lapfu's large o' gospel kail
Shall fill thy crib in plenty,
An' runts o' grace the pick an' wale,
No gi'en by way o' dainty,
But ilka day.
Nae mair by Babel's streams we'll weep,
To think upon our Zion;
And hing our fiddles up to sleep,
Like baby-clouts a-dryin!
Come, screw the pegs wi' tunefu' cheep,
And o'er the thairms be tryin;
Oh, rare to see our elbucks wheep,
And a' like lamb-tails flyin
Fu' fast this day.
Lang, Patronage, with rod o' airn,
Has shor'd the Kirk's undoin;
As lately Fenwick, sair forfairn,
Has proven to its ruin:
Our patron, honest man! Glencairn,
He saw mischief was brewin;
An' like a godly, elect bairn,
He's waled us out a true ane,
And sound, this day.
Now Robertson harangue nae mair,
But steek your gab for ever;
Or try the wicked town of Ayr,
For there they'll think you clever;
Or, nae reflection on your lear,
Ye may commence a shaver ;
Or to the Netherton repair,
An' turn a carpet weaver
Aff-hand this day.
Mu'trie and you were just a match,
We never had sic twa drones ;
Auld Hornie did the Laigh Kirk watch,
Just like a winkin baudrons,
And aye he catch'd the tither wretch,
To fry them in his caudrons ;
But now his Honour maun detach,
Wi' a' his brimstone squadrons,
Fast, fast this day.
See, see auld Orthodoxy's faes
She's swingein thro' the city!
Hark, how the nine-tail'd cat she plays!
I vow it's unco pretty:
There, Learning, with his Greekish face,
Grunts out some Latin ditty;
And Common-sense is gaun, she says,
To mak to Jamie Beattie
Her plaint this day.
But there's Morality himsel',
Embracing all opinions;
Hear, how he gies the tither yell,
Between his twa companions!
See, how she peels the skin an' fell,
As ane were peelin onions!
Now there, they're packed aff to hell,
An' banish'd our dominions,
Henceforth this day.
O happy day! rejoice, rejoice!
Come bouse about the porter!
Morality's demure decoys
Shall here nae mair find quarter:
Mackinlay, Russell, are the boys
That heresy can torture;
They'll gie her on a rape a hoyse,
And cowe her measure shorter
By th' head some day.
Come, bring the tither mutchkin in,
And here's - for a conclusion -
To ev'ry New Light mother's son,
From this time forth, Confusion!
If mair they deave us wi' their din,
Or Patronage intrusion,
We'll light a spunk, and ev'ry skin,
We'll rin them aff in fusion
Like oil, some day.

The beach here is also known for the Star of Greece shipwreck of July 1888 when 18 men were drowned. Eleven were buried in the Aldinga Wesleyan Methodist Church cemetery. Then in the early 20th century the port rapidly declined. Its death knoll was the penning of the railway line from Adelaide to Willunga in 1915. In 1916 when a violent storm hit the coast the jetty was destroyed and a few remains of this jetty are still to be seen at low tide. The slate quarries of Willunga began operations around 1842. Much of the slate was shipped to Melbourne for roofing tiles. In its heyday Port Willunga also had a chapel in addition to a general store and a blacksmith.
Sellicks Hill.
William Sellick obtained several sections of land here in 1847 and the district was given his name. The first local public building was the Wesleyan Methodist Church with the foundation stone being laid in 1861 and the church opened in February 1862. In 1977 it became a Uniting Church. A local school opened in 1866 and became a state school. It closed in 1941. The Sellicks Hill hotel at the foot of the road was known as Norman’s Victory Hotel. Mr Norman of Normanville petitioned the government for a new easier route from Adelaide to Normanville – his town- in the 1850s. When in 1859 he finally got the government to agree to the new road to Myponga and Normanville it was hailed by the locals as a great victory – Norman’s Victory road. The hotel at Sellicks Hill had been established in 1858 and took the name of the Victory Hotel. Alas it returned to the boring name of Sellicks Hill hotel for many years but has recently readopted the name of the Victory Hotel. These days Sellicks Hill is known for the Nan Hai Po Tuo Buddhist Temple. This fascinating temple as adorned with a giant statue of the Buddha. But the statue has the image of a female in a serene pose, not the usual male Buddha. The Buddha is 18 metres high. Foundations are already laid for a massive 35 metre high pagoda on the temple site as well. Over $15 is being spent on the Buddhist complex and the Buddha statue is believed to have cost around $1 million.
Barabba and cemetery.
Barabba was surveyed as a small town in 1879 called Aliceburgh. The land here was first taken up as a pastoral lease in 1845. The Hundred of Grace was declared in 1868 and farming settlers began to move into the area after that. David Dow of Scotland took up the first farming blocks here in 1865. Aliceburgh ceased to exist in 1897 and the area was resurveyed into five acre Working Men’s’ Blocks but with no great success. Barabba was the name used for the locality well before 1897 but no town of Barabba ever formally existed. The Barabba Post Office opened in 1877 in a corner of the school room. In 1875 a small school opened in Barabba on a five acre site. It was a government school that cost £799 to build in the Gothic style which was identical to the schools built at Dublin, Gawler River and many other Adelaide Plains towns. The new Gothic school opened in 1877 with 37 pupils. A government headmaster’s house was built next to the school in 1885. Sadly the school closed in 1960 and the school was destroyed by the Pinery bushfires in 2015. The Post Office however survived until closure in 1972 after the then current post master said he could not continue because of health reasons. Today a small roadside unattended Post Offices suffices for the district. A Primitive Methodist church was built in 1867. Among the trustees of the church was James Dow a relative of the pioneer David Dow. It was a simple pug and pine structure that was still standing in 1876 when a new stone Primitive Methodist Church was built and the opening service was conducted by Reverend Stuart Wayland on 26th November 1876. It cost £220 and after collections on the day only £83 was left owing. Farmers expected to pay that off when the harvest had been reaped. A third church was built in 1925 and opened in 1926. The final service was held in 1967 and then the church was later demolished. Only a stone cairn records its existence now. In its heyday from the 1920s to the 1980s Barabba had a very active tennis club and for a few years it also had a football team club and a women’s’ basketball team. The Barabba cemetery opened in 1876 and contains about 1,000 burial plots. The native bushland surrounding it was destroyed by the Pinery bushfires.
Aldinga/Port Willunga.
Farmers started taking up land around Aldinga in the early 1840s. One of the earliest settlers was George Lovelock and family who settled at Aldinga in 1844. Aldinga was laid out as a small town in 1857 by a farmer who subdivided part of his land. He was Lewis Fidge who created the private town of Aldinga. The town was on the coaching route from Adelaide to Willunga. The first public building that was erected was the Free Presbyterian Church which opened in 1856 just before the town was created. Sadly the church was not well built and due to the cost of repairs needed it closed in 1880 and soon weathered into a pile of rubble. The first school opened in Aldinga in 1856 but it was demolished in 1980 by the SA government. The town had a large flourmill from 1848 to 1905. The Wesleyan Methodist Church was opened in 1863 and still stands. Fund raising for the construction of the church began as early as 1854. The Anglican Church opened in 1865 and still stands cross the main south road. The former Temperance Hotel was built in 1868 and was added to later. It was known as Harts Hotel as a Mr Hart ran the business from 1890 to 1920. It is now a restaurant bar and clothing shop. In its heyday Aldinga had a general store, butcher, bootmaker, undertaker and blacksmith, etc.
The land near Port Willunga was one of the first regions surveyed by Colonel William Light and then sold to farmers from 1839 onwards. Port Willunga was established to provide port facilities for the shipping of wheat and grain from the Willunga Plains and later slate from the Willunga quarries. A local farmer Thomas Martin surveyed and established a private town in 1851. The first government jetty was erected in 1853 and then extended in 1857 and again in 1867 when a new and longer jetty was constructed. Port Willunga grew quickly as a major port. By 1863 it was the fifth biggest port in South Australia in terms of value of goods exported to other colonies. In that year it export over £15,000 worth of goods which were mainly flour and wheat. The port had a harbourmaster and a Sub Collector of Customs. In 1863 the ports bigger than Port Willunga were Port Adelaide, Port Wakefield, Port Augusta and Robe. As an indication of its importance as a port the government commissioned a feasibility study into a horse tramway from Willunga to the port and to Noarlunga in 1858 but that never eventuated. As the town grew fashionable stone houses and cottages were built by the mid-1850s and in 1856 the Lewis Arms Hotel opened. The original stone building was added to as the port grew and business thrived. In 1884 the Lewis Arms Hotel was relicensed as the Seaview Hotel which can still be seen today.

Pantyliner advert that uses 'bold' language to describe bodily functions leaves viewers outraged by 'offensive' terms
Johnson & Johnson brand Carefree uses 'vagina' and 'discharge' in television ad
By DEBORAH ARTHURS

An advert for a popular brand of pantyliners has sparked outrage after viewers complained it contained language they deemed offensive.
The 30 second television commercial by Johnson & Johnson brand Carefree dispenses with the customary euphemisms and sanitised suggestions at bodily functions.
Instead, the actress in the advert talks openly about the woman's monthly cycle - mentioning the words 'vagina' and 'discharge'.

Frank: Johnson & Johnson say their decision to use the words 'vagina' and 'discharge' was very conscious. 'We wanted to take a bold approach'
..............................................
.
The actress in the commercial, naked but for a scattering of flower petals to protect her modesty, says to the camera that 'even that bit of discharge in between our period is our body working to keep the vagina healthy.'
She goes on to say that Carefree pads 'lock away wetness and odour, helping you to feel dry, clean and fresh every day.'

...'No man will ever love you because you're fat': How one woman overcame grandmother's taunts to discover sexual desire has nothing to do with size
...Want to shift that middle-aged spread? How keeping a food journal is more effective in women over 50 than skipping meals
Such references may seem entirely innocuous to most.
But after the advert, created by ad firm 303Lowe, aired for the first time on Monday night in New Zealand, the Advertising Standards Bureau (ASB) received nine complaints, with viewers objecting particularly to the words 'vagina' and 'discharge'.

Offence: Some viewers were uncomfortable with the language used, and nine made complaints to the Advertising Standards Bureau

The advert, which carries a GXC rating, meaning it can be shown at any time except for during programmes that specifically target children under the age of 13, has been given the green light by the advertising standards authority.
Carefree spokesman Debbie Selikman told NSM that the company made a very conscious decision to use frank language.
'It's the first time a major brand has had the guts to use real words, not euphemisms or diminutive terms,' Selikman told NineMSN.
New Zealand media blog Stop Press reported that parent company Johnson & Johnson created the Carefree ad in response to a study that showed women would welcome a more honest conversation about their bodies, and revealed that 71 percent of Australian women admit to experiencing discharge while 66 percent are bothered by it.
Michelle Forster of Johnson & Johnson Pacific, the company that owns Carefree, said: 'We have decided to take a bold approach in this campaign with the aim to tackle a subject which as always been taboo.
'We want to encourage women to talk openly about their bodies, educating them both on discharge and the benefits of using Carefree act-fresh liners on a daily basis.'

Did that Carefree pantyliners ad seriously talk about vaginal discharge? NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR ABOUT THAT D:
benjamin thomson @mrbennyt
Omggggggg the new carefree ad where she talks about discharge and odor ewwwwww
Lucy Hawthorne @stealthpooch
I can't get behind this celebration of 'vaginal discharge.' The term 'discharge' when it relates to bodily functions is never OK #carefree
T-Bone Wilson @fidged
Am I the only one who thinks the Carefree 'discharge' ad is actually a marketing ploy to get women to buy pads for everyday use?

Clementine Ford Clementine Ford @clementine_ford
Everyone's got their knickers in a twist about this ad. VAGINA VAGINA VAGINA.
@theprojecttv
In response to the Carefree ad story, this discharge happens to all women, not just "average looking" women. (continued)
Alistair Lloyd @mr_al
I wonder if the new #Carefree #Discharge ad means that men will no longer be subjected to having condoms put on bananas?
Zulaika Hutton @zulaikaaah
I KNEW IT!!! I knew that Carefree add was tooooo freaking much using the words "vaginal discharge" during the advertisement. I so knew it!

You and I
We fit together like a glove on hand
That's right
Don't you know
That I would gladly take you anywhere
You wanted to go
You and me
We are as close as three-part harmony
Wouldn't you agree
And if by chance
Our romance ended it would surely be
The end of me
Some people might say I'm infatuated
But I don't care
'Cause they really don't know
They'll never see of hear
The things I do with you
So far as I'm concerned
They all can go to hell
Woe, baby yeah
Now sing it, sugar
Do-do-do (etc.)
You and I
We'll be together til the six is nine
That's right
When you need me
I never hesitate, I always come
It's so much fun, yeah
You and I
Although we're poor
Our love has greater wealth
Than Hughes himself
And if by chance
There is an afterlife when we die
Hope it's with you and I
Repeat I
Sing it do, do, do (etc)
You and I
You and me
We'll be together eternally
Everybody on the funk
Everybody dance on the funk
Dance on the funk
Everybody dance on the funk
Can you sing it on time
Everybody dance on the funk
Everybody dance on the funk
Everybody shake your body down
Everybody shake your body down
Everybody dance on the funk
Everybody dance on the funk
Dance and shout
Funk yourself right out
Funk yourself right out
Funk yourself right out
We laid this groove
So you can move
On the funk
Everybody dance on the funk
Everybody dance on the funk
Everybody dance on the funk
Everybody dance on the funk
Everybody dance on the funk
Everybody shake your body down
Everybody shake your body down

Cabinet card by E. A. Atwater, Princeton, Illinois. Early 1870's.
Atwater presents himself as "Successor to C. H. Masters". He probably purchased the "Masters & Fidge" studio, which was for sale in 1872. However, Charles H. Masters never went away, he just went down the street and opened another studio. Masters continued in business in Princeton until his death in 1920. Atwater appears to have been gone before 1877.

GENTLEMAN CADET J. D. CORBOULD-WARREN
Hawkesworth
ROYAL MILITARY COLLEGE, SANDHURST
JOHN DEREK CORBOULD-WARREN was the only son of the Reverend
John Warren Corbould-Warren, Rector of Caistor St. Edmunds, and of
Agnes Elizabeth his wife, of Caistor Hall, Norwich.
He entered the School in 1913, and left in December, 1916, when he went to the R.M.C., Sandhurst, with a view to obtaining a Commission in the 16th Lancers.
On July 7th, 19 17, he met with a fatal accident while riding on Esher Common, when a motor came into collision with his horse, and he died at Surbiton Cottage Hospital on July loth, and was buried at Caistor.
Age 18.
An Under-Officer at Sandhurst wrote :-
" Your son was always a great favourite the Company, always so cheerful, always generous and willing to help a friend. He was tremendously keen on the Army and was longing for the day when he was to join his Regiment, the 16th Lancers. He always worked hard at work
and games alike. I know that no one will be able to fill the gap which he leaves in the Company."
His Housemaster at Rugby wrote :-
"Some of the qualities which make life happiest at home he brought here, his happy temperament, his pleasure in the pleasure of others, his tenderness of heart, and he responded eagerly to all that was bright and sympathetic and interesting, and beneath it all there was an innate sense of honour and a conscience of a very sensitive kind."
A School friend wrote :-
"I learned to know and appreciate the frankness and generosity which showed so dearly and with such ever-increasing clearness as he grew older in all his flow of happy good spirits. He was one of those who have the gift of conveying their own joy in life to less buoyant spirits. All my
memories of him seem to show him smiling. He went through storms and dark places of School life impulsively, perhaps, but always a little triumphantly, I think, always with a splendid, if subdued, hint of confidence in himself which filled one with great hopes of what he might do."

> PORT DEPOSIT - Everyone has a good story to tell. The older you get,
> the more they are. Some people have traveled the states, some the
> world. For Ulysses Grant McCoy, 90 of Port Deposit, he is a part of
> United States history. His life could be a movie. Ulysses was a Navy Seal diver and part of the
> testing of the atomic bomb and other nuclear weapon devices at the
> Bikini Islands in 1946. He does not hear as well as he used to, but
> when shown a picture, he can tell you things that people marvel at.
> Many know Ulysses as "Fidge," a nickname for a fidgety
> little boy growing up and it stuck. The once Shouns, Tennessee
> resident and son to Frank and Evelyn McCoy, just outside of Mountain
> City, he has accomplished so much in life, you might wonder how anyone had the
> time to do it all. For a while, he worked for Dr. Bud Jack, whom Dr.
> Jack Road is named.
"He used to say, if it wasn't for Mountain City, Maryland wouldn't
be a state," his daughter Donna Sue McCoy-Crowl said about the
relocation of so many of the southerners to this area. "He's the
youngest of eight. His father died when he was 18 months old."
When Ulysses was 14 years old, he decided to go into the Navy which
was for ages 16 and up, but wanted to send money home to his mother
during the depression. Stationed at Camp Peary in Williamsburg,
Virginia. "I was at the Naval base in Hawaii," he said. One of his
jobs was to help clean up Pearl Harbor after the December, 7, 1941
bombing attack by Japanese Imperial Navy aircraft. He was at Bikini
Island (Pikinni Island meaning coconut place) during the July 1946
testings termed Operation Crossroads. "They blew up the old
battleships for testing the atomic bombs," said Donna. Many may
remember seeing the photos of the massive mushroom clouds. The
historic photos of the atom bomb testing are an awe-struck moment of
destruction. "We were the only personnel that got those pictures,"
Ulysses remembered.
As a Navy Seal diver, Ulysses picked up some of the radiation from
the Operation Crossroads experience. Later his doctor told him he
would lose all his hair and never have children. Both of those
statements turned out to be false.
Ulysses went on to marry his wife Susanne in 1948 while first
getting her attention by whistling to her at the mailbox.
For a time, he took part in the Civilian Conservation Corps. It
was a chance for relief families to be employed during the depression.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt's, public works "New Deal," hired more
than three million people and built 800 parks by planting over eight
billion trees from 1933-1942. The job was rigorous and something
Ulysses is also proud of.
The avid outdoorsman liked being close to nature and after working
his farm on McGrady Road, settled on a bigger one near Port Deposit and was determined
to take care of his family. "He's open hearted and would give the
shirt off of his back," Donna explained. "He was always a gardner and
had a dairy of 17 Holstein cows. He built this farm for his family, to
stay in the family. That's his joy. He was one of the first to start
the farm bureau in the county. Once he retired, he got into
squaredancing with the Susquehanna Squaredancers."
One other of his many interests was his McValley Riding Stables. "We
had a riding stable here and I would take people on trail rides,"
Ulysses said. "You don't see that too much anymore."
"I think it's amazing to come from the hills of Tennessee and end
up being what he is today," Donna said. "To be in the depression as a
little kid. One of eight and then take care of his family."
And his country.

GENTLEMAN CADET J. D. CORBOULD-WARREN
Hawkesworth
ROYAL MILITARY COLLEGE, SANDHURST
JOHN DEREK CORBOULD-WARREN was the only son of the Reverend
John Warren Corbould-Warren, Rector of Caistor St. Edmunds, and of
Agnes Elizabeth his wife, of Caistor Hall, Norwich.
He entered the School in 1913, and left in December, 1916, when he went to the R.M.C., Sandhurst, with a view to obtaining a Commission in the 16th Lancers.
On July 7th, 19 17, he met with a fatal accident while riding on Esher Common, when a motor came into collision with his horse, and he died at Surbiton Cottage Hospital on July loth, and was buried at Caistor.
Age 18.
An Under-Officer at Sandhurst wrote :-
" Your son was always a great favourite the Company, always so cheerful, always generous and willing to help a friend. He was tremendously keen on the Army and was longing for the day when he was to join his Regiment, the 16th Lancers. He always worked hard at work
and games alike. I know that no one will be able to fill the gap which he leaves in the Company."
His Housemaster at Rugby wrote :-
"Some of the qualities which make life happiest at home he brought here, his happy temperament, his pleasure in the pleasure of others, his tenderness of heart, and he responded eagerly to all that was bright and sympathetic and interesting, and beneath it all there was an innate sense of honour and a conscience of a very sensitive kind."
A School friend wrote :-
"I learned to know and appreciate the frankness and generosity which showed so dearly and with such ever-increasing clearness as he grew older in all his flow of happy good spirits. He was one of those who have the gift of conveying their own joy in life to less buoyant spirits. All my
memories of him seem to show him smiling. He went through storms and dark places of School life impulsively, perhaps, but always a little triumphantly, I think, always with a splendid, if subdued, hint of confidence in himself which filled one with great hopes of what he might do."

Farmers started taking up land around Aldinga in the early 1840s. One of the earliest settlers was George Lovelock and family who settled at Aldinga in 1844. Aldinga was laid out as a small town in 1857 by a farmer who subdivided part of his land. He was Lewis Fidge who created the private town of Aldinga. The town was on the coaching route from Adelaide to Willunga. The first public building that was erected was the Free Presbyterian Church which opened in 1856 just before the town was created. Sadly the church was not well built and due to the cost of repairs needed it closed in 1880 and soon weathered into a pile of rubble. The first school opened in Aldinga in 1856 but it was demolished in 1980 by the SA government. The town had a large flourmill from 1848 to 1905. The Wesleyan Methodist Church was opened in 1863 and still stands. Fund raising for the construction of the church began as early as 1854. The Anglican Church opened in 1865 and still stands cross the main south road. The former Temperance Hotel was built in 1868 and was added to later. It was known as Harts Hotel as a Mr Hart ran the business from 1890 to 1920. It is now a restaurant bar and clothing shop. In its heyday Aldinga had a general store, butcher, bootmaker, undertaker and blacksmith, etc.
The land near Port Willunga was one of the first regions surveyed by Colonel William Light and then sold to farmers from 1839 onwards. Port Willunga was established to provide port facilities for the shipping of wheat and grain from the Willunga Plains and later slate from the Willunga quarries. A local farmer Thomas Martin surveyed and established a private town in 1851. The first government jetty was erected in 1853 and then extended in 1857 and again in 1867 when a new and longer jetty was constructed. Port Willunga grew quickly as a major port. By 1863 it was the fifth biggest port in South Australia in terms of value of goods exported to other colonies. In that year it export over £15,000 worth of goods which were mainly flour and wheat. The port had a harbourmaster and a Sub Collector of Customs. In 1863 the ports bigger than Port Willunga were Port Adelaide, Port Wakefield, Port Augusta and Robe. As an indication of its importance as a port the government commissioned a feasibility study into a horse tramway from Willunga to the port and to Noarlunga in 1858 but that never eventuated. As the town grew fashionable stone houses and cottages were built by the mid-1850s and in 1856 the Lewis Arms Hotel opened. The original stone building was added to as the port grew and business thrived. In 1884 the Lewis Arms Hotel was relicensed as the Seaview Hotel which can still be seen today. Around 1899 the Seaview Hotel became a temperance hotel mainly providing accommodation for holiday makers.
The beach here is also known for the Star of Greece shipwreck of July 1888 when 18 men were drowned. Eleven were buried in the Aldinga Wesleyan Methodist Church cemetery. Then in the early 20th century the port rapidly declined. Its death knoll was the penning of the railway line from Adelaide to Willunga in 1915. In 1916 when a violent storm hit the coast the jetty was destroyed and a few remains of this jetty are still to be seen at low tide. The slate quarries of Willunga began operations around 1842. Much of the slate was shipped to Melbourne for roofing tiles. In its heyday Port Willunga also had a chapel in addition to a general store and a blacksmith.
