Cash for our towns 15 projects get council assistance

Kelli’s police award

By Lauren Parker

Riverton police officer Brevet Sergeant Kelli Hersey has been awarded a Certificate of Merit for her actions when confronted by an armed offender at Tarlee last year. The certificate was awarded in recognition of her “outstanding commitment and professionalism”. The disturbance occurred on August 15 last year, when B/Sergeant Hersey arrived at Tarlee and was confronted by a man armed with several knives, who then made threats against her. She was able to talk to the man and negotiate his surrender. He was arrested and charged with several offences. The certificate was presented to B/Sergeant Hersey last Wednesday at the police academy. Another two officers also received a Certificate of Merit on the day.

More than $80,000 has been allocated for the maintenance of halls and sporting facilities across the Wakefield Regional Council area. The funding has allocated under council’s annual Sport and Recreational Facilities Program and Halls Maintenance Program, and includes funding carried over from last year’s programs. A total of $53,330 has been allocated under the Sport and Recreational Facilities Program to 15 projects in eight towns. This includes $478 to Balaklava Croquet Club to install two lights on existing poles at the courts southern end for a total cost of $678. Balaklava Rifle Club will receive $1600 to build a stop butt behind targets, at a total cost of $2800. Council will also provide $4500 of $10,583 to upgrade kitchen facilities at Balaklava Sports Club. Blyth Tennis Club exterior will be painted at a cost of $5236, including $2836 council funding. Stage two of the Blyth Bowling Club paving project will progress, with council contributing $5000 of the $6300 total. At Brinkworth, two projects will proceed at the recreation ground, including a bore at a cost of $14,150, with $5000 council funds; and providing a pumping source for the proposed bore at a total cost of $12,212, with council contributing $5000. Brinkworth Bowling Club will also receive $2350 towards a $4223 project to replace the grassed and sand sides of the green with concrete. • Continued page 3

Footy fun in the Magpie nest

THEY were footballers trying to look like farmers – or was that the other way around? Mallala’s Ben Work (left) and Tim Cawrse got into the fun of things in “the farmer wants a wife” theme night at Mallala football club last weekend. Local club football takes a break this long weekend as the Adelaide Plains Football League combined side plays in the Landmark Cup carnival in Jamestown.– PICTURE: Lisa Redpath
