Council delays spending on Civic Centre inquiry District Council of Mallala has moved to halt preliminary investigations and costings into building a civic centre in Two Wells following concerns the project will impact on the upcoming local government elections.

DCM chief executive officer, Charles Mansueto, said in May council resolved to allocate $100,000 towards the civic centre project but recent advice from staff indicated the decision could be in breach of the Local Government Association’s caretaker provisions, which will come into effect on September 2 as resolved

recently by council, in readiness for the upcoming November elections.

The provisions state, in general, council should not progress any matter that could be considered to be an election issue.

“Our administration has recommended to council that the resolution to allocate $100,000 be rescinded,” Mr Mansueto said.

“Also, any future consultation on this matter is to be deferred until the new council is elected.” n CONTINUED page 7

PICTURE courtesy of DB Images TWO Wells resident and off-road racer Michael Shipton had a lucky escape judging by this impressive photo.

Competing in Round 1 of the Dirt Wars 4x4 off-road racing event at Loveday 4x4 Adventure Park, just outside Barmera on June 14, Michael, along with his navigator, Dylan Rogers, were in the lead when they came unstuck the final jump, causing the car to nose dive and flip.

The Dirt Wars event is held three times a year, with Michael being involved for the past two years and teaming up with Dylan about 18 months ago.

Bec O’Brien reports: “I wasn’t too worried,” Michael said. “I’ve rolled a few times before, just mis-timed the jump at the end, that’s all.”

Michael got into the sport after being a spectator for about eight years and loves the thrill of combining off-road racing with tactical manoeuvres and jumps.

A member of the South Australian four wheel drive club, ET 4WD Club, the pair came out unscathed and were pretty thankful good safety equipment including helmets, roll

bars, and a harness, all did their job. For the spectators it was a worrisome few minutes, but mother-in-law and local Two Wells resident, Pam Duncan, said many people rushed to their aid and soon had the men safely out.

“We watched knowing there were plenty of helpers and others at the scene,” Pam said.

“It did not take long for the boys to be out and standing up on the car, waving to let everyone know they were okay.

“They were a little bit sore the next day!”

With another race meeting scheduled for later this month let’s hope the boys have better luck.

Local pair join Trinity team for a world FIRST test of talent

Jarrett Wilson and Ben Axford, pictured with the robot they helped construct. smaller teams were established to cover design, build, programing and marketing aspects of the robot, with Jarrett a member of the build team and Ben head of the management team.

Competing in a game context, each “game” pitted a team of two robots against another team of two robots, with each team trying to negotiate their way around a specified area, complete set tasks, such as picking up blocks, raising a flag and doing “chin-ups”, all within a two-anda-half-minute time frame.

“It has been pretty challenging,” Jarrett said of the experi-

ence. Trying to work out how to make the robot do certain things was a challenge.

“You learn quite a bit, especially different ways of solving problems.”

The team received the Best Pit Design award at the championships, and while there was much engineering to be done, they also got to take in a few of the sights, visiting Disneyland, Hollywood and Legoland, and taking in a Cardinals baseball game.

“It’s definitely worth it,” Ben said. “I learnt a lot.”

Following the completion of their Year 12 studies at the end

of the year, university beckons, with Jarrett hoping to study either mechtronic or sports engineering while Ben is looking to start study in the field of computer science.

Both boys received funding from the District Council of Mallala’s Community Partnerships Fund to help them attend the championships.

Trinity College is keen for other local schools to get involved in the FIRST Tech Challenge.

Anyone interested can email Susan O’Malley at omallesu@ trinity.sa.edu.au.

Council toughens up on spending

Funding cuts by the Federal Government has seen the District Council of Mallala (DCM) adjust its proposed operating expenditure for this financial year.

DCM endorsed its 2014/15 budget at its June 23 meeting – which includes a five per cent rate rise equivalent to around $55 per property based on average council rates of $1521 – and voted to cut spending by $120,000.

DCM chief executive officer, Charles Mansueto, said council took into consideration the reduction in Federal funding for road infrastructure.

“To offset the reduction in grant funding of $120,000 council has moved to reduce its income operating expenditure by the equiva-

... But Budget also brings 5% rate rise

lent amount,” Mr Mansueto said. Reductions in operating expenditure include delaying the start of council’s new planning officer position by six months, saving $45,000, reducing council’s discretionary fund by $15,000 and its building maintenance fund by $20,000, with the remaining balance of $40,000 split across “various operational costs”.

Mr Mansueto said council’s five percent rate rise was in line with its Long Term Financial Plan (LTFP) and would allow it to

deliver on new initiatives in a sustainable manner, with no reductions in service levels.

The following are major budget items for the 2014/2015 year: 4$600,000 for a roundabout at the intersection of Mallala Road and Old Port Wakefield Road 4$32,000 for local government elections to be held in November 2014 4$21,000 for a customer request software system

4$35,000 contribution for a regional human resources role 4$20,000 for a horse industry study 4$2000 for Mallala Museum electrical upgrade As well as the above major bids, council has also endorsed the following road allocations: 4Marshman Road, Mallala (Reallocation from 2013/2014) $130,000 4Elizabeth Street, Mallala (Reallocation from 2013/2014) $ 41,000 4Hill Road, Mallala $220,000 4Gameau Road Spoon Drain $18,200 Community consultation on the draft budget closed last month and only one submission was received from residents.

Crab bag limits continue COASTAL communities which largely target crabs should be aware of continuing bag limits on blue swimmer and sand crabs.

Recreational combined crab limits will remain at a daily individual bag limit of 20 and a daily boat limit of 60 in Gulf St Vincent only For all other South Australian waters the combined recreational crab limit will remain at a daily bag limit of 40 and a daily boat limit of 120.

To ensure the sustainability of the fishery, commercial crab fishing arrangements also were reviewed and up-

dated for the upcoming 2014–15 season The 2012-13 Blue Crab Fishery (BCF) stock assessment report recently published by the South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI) Aquatic Sciences, shows while the Spencer Gulf fishery remains in a strong position the Gulf St Vincent fishery remains at a low level.

Sean Sloan, director, Fisheries and Aquaculture Policy at PIRSA, said as a result the Total Allowable Commercial Catch (TACC) for Gulf St Vincent would remain at a reduced level at 196 tonnes for the 2014–15 season.

Primary pride boosted with new ‘VIP’ program Two Wells Primary School has implemented a new VIP program aimed at increasing school pride and understanding of its core values.

TWPS counselor, Zoe Evans, said 14 inaugural VIP recipients were announced at the school’s assembly on Friday, June 27, with the initiative coming about through the school’s recently formed Student Action Team (SAT).

The SAT runs in a similar format to many schools’ Student Representative Council (SRC), Ms Evans said, and was one way the school was working with students to create a sense of ownership.

Over a three-week period adults across the school, including volunteers, teachers, SSO’s and visitors, nominate students and their actions, which reflect the school’s core values of respect,

responsibility and persistence.

“It can be anything from the yard or class that shows the school’s values,” Ms Evans said. “It’s a really special thing to be recognised.”

Students are chosen by lucky dip at the school’s assembly and honoured with a front row position.

Each student is also presented with a colourful wristband with the school’s values printed on it.

Community bus provides popular shopping service

For some local residents, getting around the district can be a bit problematic, particularly if you don’t have a licence, are elderly, sick or injured.

That’s where the District Council of Mallala’s monthly bus service could come in handy.

Or maybe you’d just like a hassle free trip to one of the region’s biggest shopping centres?

On the third Friday of each month, for just $5 for a return trip per adult (children travel free when accompanied by an adult) residents can board the bus and travel to Elizabeth Shopping Centre.

Volunteer members of DCM’s Community Development and Advisory Committee oversee the service, with committee member Jasmin Daniele currently co-ordinating all passenger bookings and enquiries.

The community bus has been operating for over 20 years with pick up points in Mallala, Parham and Two Wells.

By arrangement, residents in Dublin, Lower Light and Lewiston can also access the bus.

The pick up point in Two Wells is at the local Bakery at 9.40am, travelling through Lewiston via Hayman or Dawkins road (pending passenger collection) and departing Elizabeth at 3pm.

Lewiston resident, Helena Sfreddo, has lived in the area for the past two decades and in recent years has come to rely on and look forward to the monthly bus trips.

An accident a few years ago saw her car written off and just two weeks later a fall broke her right ankle in three places.

The 70-odd-year-old says the bus service has been a lifesaver.

“It is beautiful,” she said.

“I love the bus, and the company is nice.

“I hope it never stops, because I’ve got no transport here at all, nothing.

“I’d be lost without it.”

Unstable on her feet due to her ankle injury, Helena uses a walker to help her get around when out shopping and says the driver and passengers are all very friendly and helpful and there’s plenty of room for all her shopping.

Bookings for the community bus are essential.

Contact bus coordinator Jasmin Daniele on 8520 2233 or 0409 052 103.

• Further information and a bus timetable can be found on the District Council of Mallala’s website at www.mallala.sa.gov.au.

Men wanted over home invasion

Police have released a computer-generated image of a suspect’s face in a bid to identify three men wanted in connection with a violent incident at Lewiston in April.

The three men entered the victim’s home on Gawler River Road in the early hours of April 29 and assaulted him with a length of wood and an iron crowbar.

The victim suffered a broken arm and hand in the incident as well as cuts to his head. A woman at the address was also assaulted. Nothing was stolen and no demands were made during the incident, with the offenders leaving the property after the victims resisted.

One suspect – who did not have his face covered – was about 170cm tall with an olive complexion, of average build, unshaven with brown short wavy hair. He was wearing a windcheater

with red, grey and blue trousers.

The other two suspects, who were carrying the weapons, were wearing balaclavas and black gloves. One was 180-185cm tall with a muscular build and large nose, while the other was 170-175cm tall with a normal build.

Always sharing and caring AFTER 68 YEARS, VIRGINIA CWA CONTINUES TO SUPPORT OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES

Bec O’Brien reports “Sharing and caring with action” – this is the slogan of one of the state’s oldest not-for-profit groups, the Country Women’s Association.

Once the backbone of rural communities, and consisting mainly of women of the land, the CWA has seen its fair share of ups and downs, with low membership threatening many branches in the past.

But in recent times an influx of youthful enthusiasm and adaption of meeting times and structures to meet the demands of working parents and their families, has seen the group steadily increase its numbers.

In South Australia alone several new branches have been established over the past few years, injecting new blood and ideas into an important aspect of many local communities and giving members the opportunity to help not only those people around them but also nationally and at times, internationally.

The Virginia CWA branch was formed in 1946 at the Virginia Institute and members celebrated its 68th birthday with a luncheon at the Virginia Hotel in April.

The branch is one of eight under the umbrella of the Barossa CWA group, with many of these branches existing for more than seven decades.

CWA meetings are held in the Virginia Institute on the second Wednesday of each month from 10.30am followed by a shared pooled lunch at its conclusion.

At the group’s annual AGM in July, a program for the next 12 months is set and often includes guest speakers, business meetings, games and excursions.

Members also are actively in-

clubs

What is given in service is the road to what is gained personally. Caring involves friendship, tolerance and understanding of others. volved in craft activities from time to time, particularly as the quarterly Playford Council citizenship ceremonies approach, with tens of beautiful bookmarks being made for the new citizens.

“The branch has been involved with the city of Playford Council helping out at naturalisation ceremonies since 1998,” life member Raeleen Besnard said.

“Our branch make gifts and hands these out to the people.

“If we are asked to do catering we do – and that helps our friends.”

As well as their own monthly meetings, Virginia CWA branch representatives also attend meet-

ings in the Barossa Group area and at the CWA’s South Australian city headquarters.

“Some of us have been, and still are, very involved in the Royal Adelaide Show,” Raeleen said.

“We help out in the CWA café.”

Prominent local parliamentarian and Member for Taylor, Leesa Vlahos, joined the CWA for its recent birthday lunch and is herself a member.

Mrs Vlahos has helped out at the Royal Adelaide Show CWA café in the past and enjoys spending time with the group and contributing to community projects.

“It’s always good fun spending

time with such a caring and active community group,” Mrs Vlahos said.

“I have been a member for four years and just found out I am also the youngest member of the Virginia CWA.” Branch President Val Quinlan said her branch regularly conducts community projects, including joining the rest of the CWA at the Show.

“The CWA requires about 200 volunteers per day to man the showground café,” Mrs Quinlan said.

“Leesa has been working her way up the roster and has graduated from doing teas and coffees to milkshakes.

She’s been doing well.”

In recent years a few new CWA branches have opened in South Australia, with meetings often being held at night – instead of the traditional day-time get-togethers – to allow younger members to attend after work and around family commitments.

“Back in 2000, when we had the flood (the nearby Gawler River flooded Virginia) surround our area, the Country Women’s Association branch raised more than $17,000 to help people in their crises.

“Their main expenses were pumping out septics.”

The CWA raises funds and continually donates to local community groups, individuals and organisations.

This year the CWA is combining its efforts to raise money for Riding for the Disabled.

Other activities members participate in include spot repair projects for badly damaged roads, assisting households that need water tanks and improving farm machinery safety.

RESIDENTS ASKED FOR COMMENTS:

Survey to guide Two Wells plan

District Council of Mallala residents will have the chance to comment on retail and commercial buildings, community facilities, pedestrian paths and road layout in the existing Two Wells town centre as part of a community survey to guide its Two Wells Town Centre Development.

DCM has engaged Adelaide based consultan URPS to undertake an All Age Assessment of the existing town centre using the guidelines prepared for local government based on the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) Age Friendly Cities Checklist.

URPS was the lead consultant engaged by the Office for the Ageing to develop the Age-friendly Neighbourhoods Guidelines and Tool Kit for Local Government in 2012 and consultant, Angela Hazebroek, who will be in Two Wells on Friday, was involved in the

Bec O’Brien reports: development of the guidelines.

Ms Hazebroek will apply a modified version of the guidelines to the Two Wells Town Centre.

“It is encouraging to see a council like Mallala planning for population growth and change and being proactive in ensuring the new town centre is accessible for all people of all ages and all abilities,” Ms Hazebroek said.

DCM strategic projects coordinator, Carol Muzyk, will oversee the project, saying it is important for council to recognise this kind of environment needs to also support parents with children and people with disabilities.

“The results of the survey may highlight areas council needs to consider in the redevelopment of the town centre and will inform the Two Wells Town Centre Development Plan Amendment,” Ms Muzyk said.

“The community will be able to access the survey via councils’ website, or obtain

copies at the Two Wells Service Centre and Two Wells Library.

“The survey will also be circulated to various community service groups to distribute to their customers and patrons.”

Angela Hazebroek from URPS was at the Two Wells Public Library on Friday, June 27, to provide assistance to community members (if required) and to answer any questions pertaining to the All Age Friendly Assessment.

ST COLUMBA’S OPEN DAY AND EXPO SUCCESS

The additional road funding for South Australia was established in 2004 by the Howard Government to address an unfair formula that treated the state differently.

Historically, the formula used to deliver local government funding allocated five per cent of the funds to South Australia despite the state maintaining 11 per cent of national roads.

ABOVE: Science teacher Phillip Southwell shares experiments with visitors.

The former Labor Gover nment provided funding every year to South Australian councils through identified Local Government Road Funding to address the funding anomaly.

LEFT: Clara Wegner adds cream to her delicious batch of scones.

The Abbott Government is also cutting more than $900 million from the Local Government’s Financial Assistance Grants Program.

RIGHT: Hayley Curry has fun with a science experiment.

The Financial Assistance Grants provide rural and regional councils with funding to maintain and build roads. This will mean South Australia will have even less funding to fix local roads.

Council delays Civic Centre spend

Two Wells Echo, July, 2014

The Abbott Government has failed to prioritise the road safety of South Australian motorists after cutting $18 million in road funding from the Budget.

The $18 million is not only vital for maintaining rural and regional roads but it is also an important injection of funds into local communities which creates jobs.

n ST Columba College held a successful open day at its Andrews Farm campus on Wednesday, June 4, with 50 new families joining about 30 existing families taking an informative tour of the college.

Students and teachers showcased the quality facilities available at the school, taking tours and proudly sharing the “St Columba Expo.”

The ability to chat with teachers on a personal level was highly valued by the parent community.

Bernadette Venn won the Open Day door prize, an iPad mini.

•From page 1 The civic centre project has in the past divided councillors and residents alike, with some councillors swinging in favour, then against, and back to support of the spending and the project in general.

If it goes ahead, the civic centre project could see a move of council’s main office from Mallala to Two Wells some time in the future. This is expected to

be a strong election issue in November.

At its June 23 meeting DCM supported the staff recommendation to rescind the original resolution to allocate $100,000 towards the project.

Council also resolved to seek a suspension of the sub-committee established by its Facilities and Infrastructure Advisory Committee to pursue the investigations into the civic centre.

Creating new ‘seascapes’

Middle Beach resident, Cheryl Fittock with young helper Maddison O’Brien

Denis Hart and his grandson, Jarod Reyers, 13, busy planting.

8 www.twowellsecho.com.au

A “planting blitz” saw more than 1000 native coastal seedlings planted along community coastlines in the district last month.

Thirty-five volunteers over the threeday blitz gave up their time to assist the Adelaide and Mount Lofty Natural Resource Managements’ Seascapes program, which is supported by the District Council of Mallala through its Coast Estuary and Marine Officer, Warrick Barnes.

The volunteers contributed a total of 89.5 hours of work and planted around 1300 seedlings at Parham, Thompson Beach and Middle Beach.

On Friday, June 13, at Parham local residents, ably helped by Roseworthy Horticultural Conservation and Land Management students, made quick work of getting 500 seedlings into the ground.

Saturday, June 14, saw volunteers gather at Thompson Beach, where the importance of intact coastal ecosystems

for the survival of the three main parrot species in the area – the Blue-winged, Elegant and Rock Parrot – was discussed

by DCM mayor, Duncan Kennington, and a number of volunteers from Birds SA as well as members of the Thompson Beach Progress Association.

On Sunday, June 15, 350 plants were planted in perfect sunny winter conditions at Middle Beach.

DCM Coast Estuary and Marine Officer, Warrick Barnes, said the planting “blitz” had been very successful, and praised the efforts of local volunteers.

“It’s been great to see the local community getting involved,” he said.

“It’s really important to protect the dune systems in our area.

“These plants will help maintain the dunes, which in turn protect houses and infrastructure and maintain natural diversity.”

Coastal seedlings were also expected to be planted at Light Beach this month.

STEVEN GRIFFITHS Member for Goyder Shadow Minister for Regional Development Shadow Minister for Local Government Shadow Minister for Planning

Working for you in Goyder

“

An open letter to constituents I am a believer in democracy, with the voting public always making the right decision, so the March State election result represented a significant challenge for me.

The personal result in being returned as the Member for Goyder, as a member of the Liberal Party, was so pleasing – and please accept a big thank you to all those who voted to give me another chance at working for you - but was tempered by the frustration of the “hung” result and the eventual decision of Geoff Brock MP, independent Member for Frome, deciding to support the Labor Party in forming a minority government.

Minister Brock, a man I have known for some time, has assumed ministerial roles including the key for our community of regional development. This places him in an influential space, one that must ensure that the needs of regional communities are

considered at all times, in all decisions made, and not one in which the words said do not translate into actions.

Regional SA needs action and it needs it now. We need investment in infrastructure and services. We need support in policy for our existing businesses and resources, physical and financial, to assist a vision in becoming a reality because with this comes success and strong communities.

This takes strong government policies, and sadly I have not seen enough evidence of these policies. Plans must be in place to deliver what we need, so why is it that in cases where the dollars are provided, the plans to roll them out have not been developed yet. Delays are inexcusable.

I am fortified to work as hard as I can for you – and welcome contact about any issue that you feel I can assist in.

Regards, Steven

Rising household bills

The State Budget released by Premier Weatherill and Treasurer Koutsantonis on June 19 concerns me on many fronts, particularly being the extra pressure on household budgets expected to result from it, and in regional areas already facing rising unemployment.

In June, the Australian Energy Regulator approved a 4.4% rise in electricity prices which will mean households will be hit doubly hard when the impact of this rise flows onto the costs of goods and services produced locally.

The biggest increase in the budget was to the annual Emergency Services Levy. For example, Labor’s changes to this levy will result in a 163% increase on a house with a capital value of $400,000.

Water bills are reportedly to rise by $40 a quarter, motor vehicle registrations by $70 a year, and with further alarm last week, I heard the Nurses Union advocate for a “health levy” of $100 per household to help fill the holes in our State’s obviously ill health system.

For Goyder, there was no allocation for local roads, future upgrades or capital projects which was disappointing but I was relieved to see no cuts for our hospitals.

I was pleased to see the increased funding for the Patient Assistant Transport Scheme, and the reinstated funding for Regional Development Boards.

Of concern, however, as Shadow Minister for Regional Development, was the absence of detail of Minister Geoff Brock’s Job Accelerator fund and all components of the Regional Development Fund, despite being announced some three months ago.

It is disappointing that the sense of urgency for our regions continues to not be appreciated.

Perplexing, too, is that so much of the bottom line of this State Budget appears based on estimates of increased tax income which appear to be very optomistic. If correct, South Australia will become an economic powerhouse within a couple of years.

My fingers are crossed that this is true.

Budget assumptions presented without explanatory argument include a projected SA tax revenue growth of 6.2% (despite SA having the lowest average economic growth and lowest average jobs growth of all mainland states for the same period), the SA housing market becoming the fastest growing of the nation, and the state’s payroll tax revenue growing faster than Queensland and Victoria.

Recent Parliamentary activity:

• • • • •

Steven introduced the Local Government (Elections) (Voting) Amendment Bill in Parliament on June 5. The purpose of the Bill is to reinstate automatic re-enrolment for all eligible South Australian businesses and property owners at local government elections.

On June 19 Steven moved a Notice of Motion regarding funding for the seven Regional Development Australia committees in South Australia.

Steven’s is introducing a Notice of Motion concerning the Weatherill Labor government’s disregard of Regional Impact Assessment Statement policy.

Steven is investigating the confidentiality provisions within the Local Government Act 1999 and plans to make legislative changes to support an enhanced level of transparency by the local government sector to ratepayers and members of the community.

A motion was passed on June 6 in Parliament condemning the smear campaign conducted by the Housing Trust Tenants Association in the lead up to the March state election, with both independents (the Member for Frome and the Member for Waite) supporting the Liberal motion.

CHOIR IS Blessed with fine voices Members of the Blessing Gospel Choir, many of whom are from the central-African country of Burundi, sang in Two Wells last month as part of Refugee Week.

Two Wells resident Paul Schmelzkopf with former African refugee, Muhama Yotham.

Two Wells Echo, July, 2014

Refugee Week was celebrated in Two Wells last month with the Blessing Gospel Choir performing at Two Wells Uniting Church on Friday, June 20.

Organised on behalf of the church

by Department of Human Services multicultural services officer, Paul Schmelzkopf, around 35 people enjoyed an energetic, soulful and uplifting performance.

Former refugee Muhama Yotham also gave an insight into his personal

experience as a refugee from the small central African country of Burundi.

Mr Yotham said there were around 45.2 million refugees worldwide as of December 2012, and he had lived in Australia since 2005 after being a refugee in Tanzania for eight years.

“Some of the refugee camps are terrible,” he said.

“There are so many people at this moment who are seeking refugee status.

“They don’t have any hope in their

country, they don’t see any future for their kids.

“Life is not easy.”

Paul said he was pleased by the community turnout to the event and praised the choir and Muhama for their efforts.

“It was great to have the choir and Muhama here,” he said.

“Their enthusiasm and singing was fantastic (and) it’s important we in the community are aware of the plight of refugees.” www.twowellsecho.com.au

And it is hoped a new eating area at the front and side of the bakery will be up and running in time for the warmer weather.

Haydn has a new automatic bun moulder which has increased efficiency in the kitchen and saved hours of preparation time.

The bakery has a huge range of freshly made buns to choose from, including kitcheners, fruit, sugar and finger buns, and then there’s every other type of slice, cake and tart you can imagine.

Haydn also makes bread rolls, loaves of bread and french sticks each day. In this cold weather, call in and buy a steaming hot sausage roll, pasty or pie, in a range of flavours, or for a lighter option, check out the fresh salad sandwiches and rolls.

Haydn and Pauline

can also fully cater for private parties, business or corporate lunch meetings, dinners or events, supplying a range of platters made fresh to order.

They supply local businesses and recently started supplying for the defence base at Edinburgh.

Contact the bakery to order platters stacked with delicious and freshly made sandwiches, rolls, cocktail pastries, hot and cold platters, slices, cakes and they can even supply drinks!

If you’re having a special birthday or anniversary, contact Haydn who can whip up and decorate a beautiful cake for the occasion. n Phone Haydn on 8520 2367 for orders.

BAKERS Hayden Routley and Landon Roomes create more taste treats from the new bakehouse at Two Wells Bakery.

Windamere’s way

Bec O’Brien reports:

W

indamere Park is a beautiful, gum-studded, 300-acre property situated a short 15 minute drive from Two Wells in Buckland Park.

Bordered on one side by the Gawler River, and only a few kilometres from the sea, the property encompasses a productive olive grove, is home to a variety of animals and has its own small wetland.

Importantly, it is also an inspiring place and a sanctuary for more than 300 disabled people each week to continue their learning after high school in a safe, productive and accommodating environment.

Created in 1991 by Ted and Diana de Lyster, Windamere Park is not wellknown to those outside the special education community, but the work the facility does has many far-reaching affects.

Ted, an ex-special education department adviser, who worked with special education students, saw a real need for further education for these students once they left school.

“It was very distressing for me to realise that a lot of these people had nowhere to go, no jobs to go into,” he explained.

“I saw a need to start day options (and) we looked for months to find the right place.

“And really, the only place we could settle in was, what was then, the Munno Para council.

“It was a good place.”

Clientele at Windamere Park include people with an intellectual disability or acquired brain injury, with skilled staff offering support to people with minimal, low, moderate, high and very high level of support needs but who are all independently mobile.

Some of the programs on offer include recreational and leisure skills, like fishing, boating, cooking, camping and gardening, to rural-based activities incorporating bush skills, feeding and caring for farm animals, and exploring the nearby wetland.

Students are also given the opportunity to complete pre-vocational studies at the park, with a variety of skills learnt through farm maintenance and paid hands-on practical experience in the 48,000-tree olive grove.

The property’s extra virgin olive oil has won three gold medals for best single estate produce, and is normally exported across the world to the United States, China, Canada, and Japan, but it is now being sold under the Kangaroo Paw label at selected IGA stores across the state.

Community programs are also a big part of the weekly program, which started with just five people and now caters for more than 300 across the week.

One of the first to access Windamere Park was cerebral palsy client David Coley, who has been attending for the past 23 years.

His father, Geoff Coley, is a founding member, and says the family struggled to find a suitable and engaging place for David once he finished school.

“There was nothing available and we hunted high and low for places to go,” Mr Coley said.

“We came across Windamere, and David is very happy there, mainly for the outdoor setting.

“There’s no other facility like it.”

Mr Coley says if the park could access more funding it would be able to grow and expand its already successful programs.

“There’s definitely a need there for such a place,” he said.

“David is very happy out there, and we’d certainly like more funding to grow the place and build on to it.”

Windamere Park is certainly a family affair, with Ted de Lyster, who is originally from Holland, and his wife Diana, as well as daughters, Yvette and Michele, all involved in the dayto-day running of the property and its programs.

They hope to establish overnight accommodation for clients at the property in the coming years, with Ted saying many families are in desperate need of respite.

“Respite accommodation, there’s a huge need for that, it’s at crisis point,” he said.

“There’s a huge drain on the community and the best option for these guys (clients) is to stay at home for as long as possible but if we don’t assist the parents they have no lives of their own, they can’t go away.

“We want to create an accommodation setup at Windamere that will cater for parents and their children.

“A place where our clients can stay overnight or camp, and that will allow parents to get a little bit of their life back, to go out at night, visit friends, or take a little holiday.”

Ted said with the impending housing development expected at Buckland Park, the facility was working with Playford Council, who had been supportive so far, to assess its options and create a path forward for all concerned.

I

t was great to see about 16 people turn out at Middle Beach on June 15 to plant about 300 plants, ranging from ground covers through to a number of shrub species, which were all specifically grown for this area.

Our planting site focused mainly along the foreshore to help stabilise the dunes and reduce the effects of wind and rain erosion on these fragile landscapes.

Whenever you pull a plant from the soil take a look at its roots, which not only feed the plant, but also also act like a net in the soil profile, holding the soil together.

Once the plants are removed for whatever reason the soil is prone to erosion.

Plants protect our soils and also provide habitats for our wildlife, be it worms in the soil or butterflies dependent on the nectar that plants provide.

This is why rehabilitation projects such With Mark Webb as those at Thompson Beach, Port Parham, Light Beach and Middle Beach are vital if we want to protect these fragile environments for future generations.

A number of parents and grandparents came along with their children to help with the planting.

Working on a number of revegetation projects within schools I have found if you provide the plants and tools, they will do the rest.

When I listen to young people they are aware of the plight of our environment and they ask me: “Why do people cut down trees? Where will the koalas live? Where will the birds build their nests?

If we cut down all the trees, what will happen to the air we breathe?”

As an adult I find these questions hard to answer, but what we can do is teach them how to plant a tree in their school, local park, home or along the coastline, and let them know they are making a positive difference to our environment.

One young person even showed me a trick about how to get the plant out of the tube with ease. I learn so much from our young people, and when we finished a lovely lady, Audrey Hart, opened the boot of her car to display and serve warm drinks, cans of cool drinks and freshlybaked biscuits and cake.

What more could you ask for? Community events bring people together and that helps build a stronger community.

• This month, the Natural Resource Management Board is holding a workshop within our region. This is a great opportunity to see and hear how our NRM levy money is used to improve our environmental assets.

The workshop will cover the process that is being undertaken this year in each AMLR subregion. It’s on Monday July 21 from 9.30am to 1pm (lunch will be provided) at Two Wells Sporting Club.

Please RSVP by Wednesday, July 16, (including any food requirements) to Susan Leahy by telephoning 8273 9100 or emailing susan. leahy@sa.gov.au.

OUR previousNeighbourhood watch meeting was a joint meeting with Mallala.

Jeff Brown, of Adelaide Plains Driver Training, spoke about his work and how he came to be a driving instructor.

Many questions were asked and answered.

Thank you Jeff from Neighbourhood watch for your time.

Redbanks farmer, Anthony Verner, competes in the less-known sport of Modern Regularity racing. He recently returned from a trip interstate, where he took out the 2014 NSW Road Racing Club Regularity Bathurst event at Mt Panorama.

Anthony’s drive earns him first at Bathurst Bec O’Brien reports:

Redbanks farmer, 34-year-old Anthony Verner, could probably drive almost anything.

From tractors, to motorbikes, to go-karts, if it’s got a steering wheel, Anthony loves to get behind it.

But his favourite “hobby”, as he puts it, is the lesser-known sport of Modern Regularity racing.

Modern Regularity is a relatively new competition focused on tactical driving, where each driver nominates a lap time and endeavours to maintain that time over a number of flying laps (usually four) of a racing circuit.

Each tenth of a second away from the nominated time scores penalty points.

The driver with the least number of points wins, or the driver with the most points i.e. furthest from their nominated lap time, comes last!

It is a relatively safe form of competition, as outright speed or the fastest lap time is not a consideration in scoring, and passing through corners, blocking or “racing” other competitors is not permitted.

In April, Anthony returned from a trip interstate, where he took out the 2014 NSW Road Racing Club Regularity Bathurst event at Mt Panorama.

Competing in five rounds over three days

against 55 other drivers, Anthony said it was a great first-time experience for him driving the famous circuit.

The rises, falls and turns of the circuit were a challenge and a change from the flat, circular route at Mallala Motorsport Park, where all Modern Regularity events in SA are held.

Racing in his HSV VR 1993 Senator, Anthony says the sport is a great one for all car enthusiasts and is open to anyone, with vehicles not needing to be “souped up” to take part.

“Regularity is about being consistent,” he explained.

“That’s the beauty of it, you can do any mods (modifications) you want to, but you can’t do a fastest lap time of 1 min 20 secs.

“With this sport it’s not about having the fastest time, it’s about being consistent.

“It’s a grassroots sport that’s about getting out there and having a bit of fun.

“It’s low cost, and it’s about what you want to put into it at the end of the day.”

Races are held at the Mallala Motorsport Park around eight times a year in South Australia, with between 40-45 competitors taking part in each event.

The next Modern Regularity event will be held at Mallala on July 13.

Our young soccer stars

Four Two Wells Primary School students last month (June) represented the school in SAPSASA soccer.

For these up and coming soccer stars, pictured from left, Jack Robery, Alyssia Raschella, Danielle Raschella and Jenna van Haasteren, it was a chance

to form new friendships, develop new skills and show their passion for the game on a bigger stage.

This was the third year in a row Year 7 girls Danielle and Jenna, who both play for Angle Vale Soccer Club, have been selected, with first-timers Jack and Alyssia excited to take part

in the competition.

The students were chosen as part of the Gawler and Districts SAPSASA soccer team and participated in the week-long event from June 23 – 27, which saw them compete in up to two games each day at venues around West Beach.

Two Wells Netball Club’s A5 away side is having a terrific season, so far undefeated in the Adelaide Plains netball competition.

The girls regularly play on a Friday night so they can support friends and other club teams at Saturday games.

In line with Balaklava’s team program, who was unable to fill an A5 side this year, the girls took on Virginia at Two Wells on Friday June 13 in very chilly conditions.

A small group of dedicated supporters rugged up to cheer them on, with Two Wells taking home the win 37-11.

Great stuff girls!

Tanya Kent in front of the club’s new bar facilities.

Two Wells A grade footballers, Lee Allmond, Dylan Wise and Travis Wake, are relishing the club’s new and improved changeroom facilities.

‘Mission accomplished for proud Sporting Club • From Back Page The $500,000 project was years in the making, with Mr Pellizzari estimating the club had received an astonishing in-kind support of around $100,000.

Major grants were received from the State Government’s Office for Sport and Recreation ($200,000), the AFL Facilities Fund ($50,000), the SA Community Football League ($5000), and Bendigo Bank ($37,500).

The District Council of Mallala also contributed through its local funding programs, which enabled the club to purchase airconditioning, a new cool

room, chairs, and tables.

The Two Wells Cricket Club also won a grant of $6000, from the Office for Sport and Recreation.

Mr Pellizzari said while the club renovation was almost complete, it was important the committee still look to the future needs of its members and the improvements it could make.

“As a club now we’ve got to be conscious of maintaining our existing facilities,” he said.

“But there is also still plenty of work to be done at our club, including installing four new lights at the netball courts, lights around the oval, our score-

board needs an overhaul, the coaches boxes need an overhaul, there is still plenty of work to be done.

“Our next biggest major infrastructure spend would be putting new lights around the oval.”

The club hopes to stage an official grand opening at the end of the 2014 season but in the meantime is calling on all past and present members to support the club by participating in its paver fundraising initiative.

Personalised pavers, which will feature at the southern end of the redeveloped clubrooms, are now available to purchase.

Each paver costs $100

Championships underway Report: Adam Bail TWGC vice-captain

This month has seen the first round of the Club Championships get underway and players were out in force to do battle with our biggest Saturday field of the year.

The course was looking a treat and ready for some good scores.

Stuart Grigg played a controlled game to fire a fine 75 off of the stick, but was quickly matched by defending champion Chris ‘Doc’ Girling, 75. Stuart will need to keep the low scoring coming in order to try and stay with Doc over the coming rounds.

The B grade championship also got off to a solid start, with Tim Clifton setting the pace with a 90 off of the stick.

Steven Kelly and Jim Weir, both shooting 96, will be putting in the big ones in the three remaining rounds to claw back the six-stroke deficit.

With the course soft and luscious, it has been great to see the weekly honours being shared around with different winners.

One of the club’s bigger events, the Applebee/Belcher Pinehurst Trophy, was also contested this month with the late pairing of Steven Kelly and Adam Bail combining to smash the rest of the field by a massive four strokes.

The ladies on Tuesdays have been going strong too, kicking off their Club Championships with Kathy Stubing putting in a dominant performance opening up a 10-stroke lead over Elaine Grigg.

Kathy has been in strong form this past month, winning the last four Tuesdays in a row.

If you would like to join us and have a great day, visit the club this Saturday.

Mr Pellizzari said the paver initiative was a fantastic opportunity for past players and members, and the broader public to be involved in the project.

“It’s a chance to be a part of the history at the club again,” he said.

“Those pavers will be there for years to come (and) it’s a way for past people that probably can’t contribute financially to the project, to be a part of it.”

With the clubrooms, canteen, bar and change room facilities now of a high standard and being used each training night and at home games, the club is looking forward to the future.

“From a committee point of view we’re extremely proud of what we’ve achieved,” Mr Pellizzari said.

“We’ve had organisations come to us to hire our facilities for conferences.

“Given the facilities we had before we would not have even entertained them.

“What we’ve created
