PLAINS power plant Play

Alinta’s plans for $450m facility near Mallala

Energy retailerAlinta Energy is proposing to build a $450 million gas power plant at Reeves Plains, which the company says, could provide electricity assurance to local residents in times of peak power demand.

Once operational the company says the plant will supply up to 300 megawatts of power at peak times from the 40-hectare site on the corner of Redbanks Road and Days Road, approximately 12 kilometres south-east of the Mallala township.

Giving a deputation to Adelaide Plains Council (APC) councillors on Monday June 19 was Alinta’s manager of business development, Huw Adler, and general manager of power development Gary Bryant; along with Greg Harrison of consultancy firm Arcadis.

Bec O’Brien reports:

Mr Adler told councillors the plant would have an operational life of 25 years and consist of six individual turbines, which would provide power to the grid during peak demand.

Mr Adler said the company wished to consult with local residents about the project and had set up an information line and website.

The Reeves Plains Power Station is scheduled to be in operation by January 2019, with a construction period of 12 months.

Highlighting the company’s desire to complete a variety of studies by mid-July was consultant Greg Harrison. Mr Harrison said the

studies would cover a range of topics including air quality, traffic and transport, ecology and environment, noise, and cultural heritage, with Alinta looking to lodge its formal development application to council in mid-August.

Alinta’s next steps, he said, included securing a grid connection agreement with Electranet, appointing an EPC contractor, obtaining Environment Protection Authority approvals and consulting with the local community.

“In terms of driving down electricity prices and providing security of supply, we think this project gets a big tick,” he said.

Speaking after the deputation, Mr Bryant said the proposal could create possibly hundreds of jobs in

“I remember James tried to convince the elected members to defer this decision until a further report, but still the decision was made,” Mr Udugampola explained. “That decision is still valid and management has no way of going back, however the recommendation is to consider the report.”

Students prepare for Wakakirri

Elizabeth

Bec O’Brien reports: Rehearsals for Virginia Primary School’s Wakakirri performance later in the year are going strong, with students and numerous volunteers helping to design and create props, artwork and costumes.

Wakakirri promotes the sharing of stories, through dance and theatre, while developing creative thinking, school and self pride, and life skills for all participants.

The school’s performance is based around the life of its popular Vietnamese teacher, Thi-Hien Danh, who travelled as a refugee by boat to Australia from Vietnam, via Thailand, when she was eight years old.

Thi-Hien’s story has all the makings of a Hollywood movie, with suspense, fear, courage, and love.

There’s even a heart-stopping encounter with pirates.

Upper primary students Carla and Nhi designed and created three bold banners, which will grace the stage as part of the performance.

Both girls have been working all term during their Vietnamese language lessons and for most of their lunch times to create the banners, which reflect the Year of the Dragon 1988, and say they have a passion for visual arts and drawing.

Another great tea in Two Wells Bec O’Brien reports:

Two Wells Uniting Church put their hand up in support of cancer research yet again by hosting a Biggest Morning Tea event on Friday June 16.

Working in conjunction with Two Wells Red Cross, who staged another popular trading table, more than $1250 was raised for the cause, with the sale of delicious home baked and sewn goods, sausages, scones with jam and cream, and pancakes a hit with everyone who dropped by throughout the morning.

Local postie, Derek, also donated heaps of pre-loved books to sell, with all proceeds going to cancer research.

Cancer Council mugs are still available for sale by contacting Pam Duncan on 0409 002 201.

Compass group putting Plains back on the map Northern Plains Compass is a newly formed group of enthusiastic people wanting to showcase the Northern Plains as the “Salad Bowl of South Australia”.

Attending its meeting this week was one of their newest members, Geoff Bergamin, who proudly showed members a framed photo of the ‘Mountain of Vegetables’ that was the centre piece of the previous Virginia Expo that took place in 1997.

He explained how it was his job to keep the mountain of vegetables fresh during the whole Expo.

“Quite an effort was needed” - in Geoff’s own words!

Northern Plains Compass group is now in the process of re-introducing this festival and once again bringing the business potential of the Northern Plains into the future.

The plan is to stage a ‘Northern Plains Food Festival’ on October 21, 2017 on the Two Wells Oval complex to showcase the food production, and also incorporating produce, machinery displays, food, wine, live music, ex-

Playford backs off rate grab

John Dawkins MLC July update I am always thrilled to see communities coming together to celebrate their homegrown food, wine and produce as well as giving a voice to local success stories. That’s why I was very excited when the Northern Plains Compass told me about their plans for an inaugural Northern Plains Food Festival, to be held on 21 October this year.

Natalie Centenera reports: Playford councillors unanimously voted against increasing land rates for primary producers and residents whose homes are worth more than $250,000 at a special council meeting held on June 13, in what was coined by local Angle Vale resident, Don Auchote, as “rats jumping off the ship.”

The council has never been subject to such a large amount of community backlash over a proposed rate change, and the vote in favour of keeping rates at the current level was welcomed with loud cheering and applause by a packed gallery, of more than 300 people.

The controversial draft Rating Policy was first brought to the public’s attention by one local Angle Vale resident.

By posting publicly on Facebook groups, ‘Everything Angle Primary Producers from Virginia, Tracy Nguyen, Michelle Minkoff and Evie Arharidis.

The Two Wells oval will host the festival, which promises to be a colourful, happy and noisy occasion full of great tasting food and wine. It will showcase the lifestyle of country living on the doorstep of Adelaide, whilst showcasing the food production and business potential of the Two Wells / Virginia area. I’m told the festival will have live music, exhibits and entertainment and will cater for all ages.

I encourage all members of the public to get behind such a great event and for local businesses to join the enterprise to showcase their skills, products and experiences.

Hopefully it will be the first of many Northern Plains Food Festivals.

This month I’ve delivered a number of speeches in Parliament about issues related to the Northern regions, particularly on the government’s disappointing implementation of the Northern Economic Plan.

Sadly, programs in the plan have been delivered in a haphazard, disjointed way, with some being rolled out on time, while others only appearing months, or years, later, such as the Northern Entrepreneurs Scheme. Others, such as the $9 million Northern Adelaide Food Park, are in serious doubt of ever being delivered.

Additionally, I advocated on behalf of the Virginia Irrigation Association, asking Minister Hunter, the Water Minister, a question about their ongoing negotiations with SA Water and the need to set sustainable prices for irrigators.

I also expressed my disappointment with the government’s management of suicide prevention programs. Unfortunately, successive Ministers have not given this crucial area the attention it deserves and I have been dismayed by their lack of leadership.

SILENT RIPPLES INC.

Support Beyond Suicide

Work together and win: Griffiths

Silent ripples is a group that provides support for families and friends affected by the loss of a loved one through suicide. Suicide causes grief, which has a rippling effect unlike any other loss of life. Many people find it difficult to talk about their thoughts and feelings, with the results that those issues are often held in silence. Silent Ripples provides an understanding environment where you can share in discussing the issues associated with loss by suicide Silent Ripples provides support for families and friends affected by the loss of a loved one through suicide.

I was very pleased, however, to see The Adelaide Plains Council expressing interest in establishing a suicide prevention network.

These groups provide vital support to those in need. Recently, I was humbled to attend a Silent Ripples Suicide Bereavement Support Group in Murray Bridge with local MP Adrian Pederick. One of the great attributes that those groups have is that they give people that have experienced suicide in their family, by a friend, or in their workplace, a place to deal with their mental health issues.

“And indeed, I’ve tried to react to positive influences that people have brought to me.

“I’m really fearful that it’s going to get harder for people to stand up, because of the level of scrutiny that exists now, on every word or action that you take.”

And on the current rate of unemployment, Mr Griffiths confessed his fear.

“The really high level of youth unemployment scares me terribly,” he said.

“I’ve developed a substantial wish list of what I would like to see occur across the electorate, which is a lot of dollars, because I’m sick of us being treated in regional areas as citizens that don’t count as much. That’s just it.

“It should not be a matter of political opportunity in marginal seats, it should be where a priority exists for a community.”

And on matters relating to the Adelaide Plains Council itself, Mr Griffiths acknowledged the recent debate on rate-capping.

“You’ve had more of a debate about the merits of rate-capping or fiscal responsibility than others, I understand that,” he said.

“Which is good.

“A healthy debate creates the best decisions.”

Mr Griffiths will not stand at the next election in nine months time, resigning from State Parliament.

Living arts festival fun for all Bec O’Brien reports:

Artists from across the region are being invited to get their brushes and paints out, grab a camera, sewing needle or lump of clay and be a part of this year’s South Australian Living Arts (SALA) Festival.

The SALA Festival is held each year throughout the month of August and thousands of artists’ work across the state will be exhibited in a range of city and regional locations.

The Adelaide Plains Council (APC) is proud to be involved in this year’s SALA Festival once again and hopes to promote and celebrate the many talented artists residing in the area.

This year’s local theme is “A New Beginning: embracing our future prosperity as Adelaide Plains Council” and APC is currently calling for expression of interest from artists who wish to display their original artwork/s in this year’s festival.

The SALA Festival allows artists at any level, and working in any genre and medium, to display their works of art, which is accessible to the whole community as many of the venues are libraries, council offices, hotels and cafes; less ‘formal’ places where people of all ages and backgrounds are likely to frequent.

The Two Wells Library will be transformed into an art gallery

Alison Gray of Two Wells with her painting series “Shifting Light” in last year’s SALA Festival. during August and members of the public are welcome to view the exhibition during the library’s opening hours.

Some of the nominated artwork may be available for sale.

In past years artists have displayed a wide variety of artwork in the library including quilts, sculptures, photography, paintings as well as a unique “Alice

in Wonderland – Mad Hatter” display.

Nomination forms are now available at the APC website – www.apc.sa.gov.au or can be picked up at the Mallala Office, Two Wells Service Centre and the Two Wells Library.

For more information contact Anne Sawtell on 8527 0200 or email asawtell@apc.sa.gov.au.

This painting of a fox was a favourite work of the artist, Rhonda Fowles, in last year’s SALA Festival.

We’re stepping forward, with a $200 million Future Jobs Fund.

For most of us, a secure job means everything. That’s why our State Government is putting South Australian jobs first, with a new $200 million Future Jobs Fund.

As our State transitions from old industries to new, we’re creating jobs in growing sectors – like defence, energy, health, hi-tech, tourism, food and wine. We’re also:

• Cutting Payroll Tax for small business • Expanding the Job Accelerator Grant to include up to $15,000 for each new apprentice employed • New rules that mean South Australians are getting 90% of the jobs and contracts from major infrastructure projects

So what does this mean for us? It means more security about our working futures, more opportunities for new job seekers, and more ways to up-skill for the jobs of the future. The opportunities are already here – the plan is already in place. To find out more visit: sajobstoday.sa.gov.au

Reeves Plains power proposal

• From Page 1 “This satisfies everything that people want concerning electricity,” Mr Bryant said.

“They (residents) are looking for high quality supply, a competitive price and assurity in times of blackouts.”

My Bryant said the company was looking to re-enter the power generation market, starting in South Australia.

“It’s a market we really do see a need to invest in some power generation,” he explained.

“And when coupled with the South Australian government energy security targets and energy security programs, we decided to really pull the trigger on development activities and start the process.”

APC development and community general manager, Rob Veitch, says the project could

bring many positives to the area and agreed providing electricity assurance was a key factor.

“The project is economic development and jobs that council welcomes, as part of security for state power generation,” Mr Veitch said.

Mr Veitch said the site of the proposed power station fell within the planned Northern Food Bowl Protection Areas Development Plan Amendment, however its impact would be “minimal”.

“In fact if anything, it will assist with increased energy consumption needs, as the Food Bowl develops,” he said.

Adelaide Plains Ratepayers and Residents Association president, and Mallala farmer, John Lush, who was present at the deputation, cautiously welcomed the announcement,

saying at this stage more information was needed to make an informed opinion about the project. “The devil is in the detail,” Mr Lush said.

“We would want to see more information about the project from Alinta (but) on the face of what was proposed tonight it sounds like it could be a positive thing.

“Electricity is so important.”

Member for Goyder, Steven Griffiths, was also present at Monday night’s APC meeting and agreed electricity supply was a priority for any government right now.

Mr Griffiths said he understood the proposal is to become a Section 49 Major Project, which means a decision will be made by the Development Assessment Commission and will involve a substantial high

level review, including an Environment Impact Statement, and opportunities for local input to happen.

“A stable electricity generation system in SA is a key to stable electricity costs,” he said.

“I commend Alinta Energy on pursuing the Reeves Plains project and become a base load / peaking plant generator locally.”

The proposed Alinta site will also include a wastewater treatment facility, as well as water storage and distribution facilities and on-site diesel back-up fuel.

If you wish to follow the Reeves Plains Power Station proposal and have you’re your say, the information line number is 1300 311 040 or visit www. alintaenergy.com.au/about-us/ power-generation.

Matilda a hit with the kids On Friday the 9th of June I ventured into town with my mum, sisters and friends, the O’Briens.

We were all very excited about seeing the show.

I found the look of the set and the design amazing with words and letters framing the stage, it set the scene perfectly.

The opening scene was done well, as were all of the other scenes.

I especially liked the beginning, as it fitted in well with what came later on.

The young actress that played Matilda was

amazing and totally on point.

M i s s Tr u n c h b u l l owned the stage and was great.

The other children were awesome and full of energy, they hardly stopped during the entire performance.

The older kids did an amazing scene rhyming the letters of the alphabet with the song, it was incredible. We all thoroughly enjoyed the show and would go again if we had the chance.

We’re moving to Virginia The Taylor Electorate Office will be located in Virginia from 1st August 2017.

We can also approach Government Ministers, Government Departments or Local Councils on your behalf.

CWA Sponge Making Night THE RESULTS ARE IN

I have recently finished an online survey asking respondents what their priorities were for SA, with over 2000 locals participating it was a great success.

Overwhelmingly respondents listed well paid local jobs, securing Medicare and proper school funding as the three biggest priorities.

The survey also covered key policy areas with: 79% wanting to protect Penalty Rates, 68% supporting a banking royal commission and 72% opposed the Liberals $65 billion tax cut for big business.

The results are in and it is time the Turnbull Government starts listening.

I will have more surveys available soon. In the meantime you can always get in touch with my office if there is something you would like to bring to my attention.

Bec O’Brien reports: Lower Light local Christobel Crabb gave members of the Two Wells CWA branch a master class in how to make the perfect sponge roll last month.

Christobel, a long-time home cook and passionate baker, staged a step-by-step demonstration of the delicate process, with the Wells Girls members agreeing the sponge roll is easily one of the most challenging recipes for anyone in the kitchen to tackle.

As well as an in-house demonstration, Christobel also brought along a chocolate version she had prepared earlier and gave tips on how to decorate and display the sponge roll.

With this in mind she encouraged those in attendance to try their hand at creating meringue mushrooms and marshmallow toadstools.

Wells Girls member Shirley Thompson also gave a concurrent demonstration of how to make lemon butter.

The in-season recipe was a hit with everyone present, and when combined with the sponge roll…. well, let’s just say it definitely hit the spot and there was a lot of finger licking going on and not many left overs.

Later in the week the group also staged a successful bingo night.

Around 30 enthusiastic people participated and all enjoyed a fantastic, fun night.

The next bingo night will be August 18th, to coincide with the next Blue Light Disco in Two Wells.

Virginia students get growing Bec O’Brien reports:

In the past three years the kitchen garden at Virginia Primary School has doubled in size.

The program, rolled out in 2014 as part of former librarian and cook, Stephanie Alexander’s Kitchen Garden School Program, has been a huge success for the school, with students loving the hands-on approach and the many learning opportunities it provides.

Garden coordinator and VPS teacher, Jacqui Rowe, says now three Year 4/5 classes are involved, and as well as the garden expansion, the school has fenced the area, improved storage and installed an irrigation system.

Mrs Rowe said the program not only focused on growing healthy foods but on teaching children how to cook with them.

In recent years, she says the school has boosted the amount of cooking utensils and equipment available for the cooking lessons, as well as installing another kitchen bench/cupboard to allow more room for food preparation.

Some recipes cooked so far this year include zucchini and bacon soup with croutons; zucchini, ham and cheese muffins; zucchini and chocolate chip cookies; eggplant dip; cold rolls; fruit salad with honey and cinnamon yoghurt; garlic bread; bruschetta; pasta with basil pesto;

The local Neighbourhood Watch group is having a special meeting on Tuesday, July 11 at 7.30pm at the community RSL rooms in the main street.

At this meeting, local policeman, Senior Constable Lance Grant, will speak about what police officers do in the course of their duty.

In Lance’s case, he rescued a dog from a tricky situation some years ago, and then adopted him!

The dog, named George, is now his family’s beloved pet.

After the speech, stay for a cuppa, light supper and chat with Lance.

The meetings are usually held on the second Tuesday of each month, so if you’d like to get involved, make sure you go along, or if you’d like more information, contact secretary Maria Aunger on 0414 230 634.

Year 4/5 students Julie, Huy and Hiep enjoy their time working in the school’s kitchen garden. and apple and cinnamon muffins. “(We are) continuing to improve the delivery of the program and coming up with new ideas to engage the students,” Mrs Rowe explained. “(We are) incorporating more class learning based activities, and working closer with the classroom teachers in order to connect more

with what the students are learning about in class.

“For example, the classes are reading a book which touches on convicts and how they had to prepare the land for farming, so in our recent activity a group had to “become convicts” and prepare a section of land in our garden ready

for planting.

“One student commented ‘I don’t like being a convict, my back hurts’, which allows for further conversations about how it would have been for convicts.

“Students are thoroughly enjoying all aspects of the program (and) it is really fulfilling to see and hear

their excitement.

“Also the fact that lots of them, including myself, teachers and the volunteers are experiencing new foods.”

Growing in the garden is a smorgasboard of fresh fruits and vegetables including zucchinis, tomatoes, leeks, fennel, cabbage, lettuce, chives, silverbeet, eggplants, onions, strawberries and rhubarb.

There is also a range of herbs and fruit trees growing too.

Year 5 student Hiep likes to water the plants and says the program is a fun way to learn new things.

Classmate Chloe’s favourite food in the garden is strawberries, and she too loves the kitchen garden program.

“I like being outside and helping in the garden,” she said.

“It’s a lot of fun.”

VPS deputy principal, Voula Pounendis, has prasied the efforts of the program’s coordinators.

“I am thrilled with the growth our program has made and it couldn’t have happened without the true dedication, commitment and hard work of Jacqui Rowe and Sam,” Mrs Pounendis said.

“The students’ high level of engagement and involvement is a credit to their thorough planning.”

The school is especially thankful to its school parents and team of volunteers who help assist with preparing and cooking what is grown in the garden.

10,000 seedlings revegetate coastline

Lending a hand to plant native coastal seedlings at Port Gawler last month were volunteers, from left, (back) Michael Wier, Helen Macilwain, Mary-Ann Van Trigt, James Harrison, Mara Buss, Kathy Stubing, Jordan Scott, Warrick Barnes, Douglas Beddome, Anna Woods, (front) Dave Potter, Robyn Barlow, Jude Meacham, Gabrielle Hunt, and Jean Turner.

Nature was given a helping hand last month with volunteers planting more than 1100 native coastal plants in the Port Gawler Conservation Reserve at Port Gawler. The mass planting is part of the Natural Resource Management’s coastal revegetation program, which is working in partnership with Adelaide Plains Council and Friends of the Adelaide International Bird Sanctuary (FoAIBS) to improve remnant vegetation and limit off-road driving along the coastline. About 15 volunteers, including some keen children, dug in and got their hands dirty to put them into the ground and now have their fingers crossed some rain will fall in coming weeks to help the plants along. Many more people have lent a hand in recent weeks, including members of the new volunteer group FoAIBS, to plant approximately 9600 plants in total this planting season at other coastal sites stretching from Port Adelaide right up to Port Parham.

Everything I never told you Each month the Two Wells Book Club will bring you a review of the book that had been read by the group the previous month.

The book club meets once a month at the Two Wells library.

We hope you enjoy the segment and are provided with an opportunity to engage with some books that you might never have thought to pick up and read.

This month’s book is ‘Everything I Never Told You’, by Celeste Ng. Author Celest Ng debuted her first novel to critical acclaim in 2014, winning the Amazon Book of the Year.

Book Club members enjoyed the story, agreeing that it was different to what they would normally pick up and read, and with no colourful language or sex it was an easy book to discuss.

Ultimately, the story of the Chinese-American family living in the 1970’s and the choices they faced individually and as a family, made readers reflect on their own lives and the consequences of choices they made themselves.

It is a family drama with a focus on the everyday, however the characters are complex and well developed, and kept readers turning the page to experience what unravels within the individual and their part within the family portrait.

‘Lydia is dead,’ the opening statement of the book sets the emotional tone of the novel.

Lydia is the favourite child of Chinese father James Lee and American mother Marilyn.

The dynamics of the Lee family are dissected by Ng who moves between past and present to unfold the story.

A mixed-race family was still uncommon during this time and racial prejudices are one of the many undercurrents that eventually surface within the family.

Marilyn’s own decisions with her life, marrying someone from a different culture and relinquishing her own dreams to become a doctor, are reflected upon and examined as to how this affected the relationship with her daughter, Lydia, who buckles under the pressure of Marilyn pushing her to achieve what she never did herself.

The sibling’s relationships are put under the microscope as is the complex and intricate relationship between James and his children.

Even though the book has a sombre sounding nature, Ng’s ability to unfold different characters within a family, which is a character of its own, and with pleasing prose, made for a satisfying read this month.

Workshops fill fast so contact 8520 2100 or email library@apc.sa.gov.au to reserve a space now.

Info sessions rescheduled Year 6/7 students Tuan, Kate and Hayley participated in the school’s recent Walkathon.

Walkathon raises $4,300 Virginia Primary School’s biggest fundraiser for the year has raised $4,300 and counting.

The school’s annual Walkathon was held on Friday June 2 and involved staff and students across the school walking as many laps as they could in 60 minutes.

Year 7 student Blake achieved top honours,

June this year has been cold and frosty, however, we did receive some rain in the end.

So what will July 2017 bring for us?

The school holidays are again with us and a visit to the Adelaide Botanic Gardens has activities for the children, but be quick to book as they are very popular.

The vegetable AMATEUR garden has quaint scarecrowsGARDENER to see and perhaps to be copied, as well as a good display of winter vegetables.

Whilst there, go for a stroll and look at all the dazzling aloes that are flowering.

In response to community feedback SA Country Fire Service (CFS) has rescheduled its free Firey Women workshop planned for Two Wells. The workshop will now be held over four evening sessions in August. Participants will learn all about bushfire safety and what to do in the event of a fire emergency.

Some of the topics covered include, Preparing yourself emotionally; Understanding bushfire warnings and Fire Danger Ratings; Identifying hazards around the home; Bushfire behaviour; and Creating a Bushfire Safety Plan. The four evening sessions will be held at the St Joseph’s Catholic Church Hall in Chapman Street, Two Wells on August 2nd, 9th, 23rd and 30th from 7pm – 10pm.

For more information or to make a booking contact Two Wells CFS brigade lieutenant Chantel Harris on 0422 627 886 or Helen Hennessy at the CFS Community Engagement Unit on 0457 102 151 or email helen.hennessy@sa.gov.au.

The plants are structural in appearance and T may be low growing and ground hugging, to taller tree like structures, and they like eight to ten hours of sunshine per day, whilst disliking frosts.

They need free draining soil and the flowers come in shades of pink, red, yellow and orange.

Whilst in the Botanic E Gardens, the Bicentennial

Conservatory is interesting to visit, as is the Palm House, perhaps compare the types of plants in both structures.

The Diggers Club has a shop in the gardens selling plants as well as various items, from books to insect houses.

The Adelaide Botanic Gardens areG able to be entered from Plane Tree Drive or North Terrace and it is situated next to the old RAH, opposite the Adelaide Zoo. In the UBD street directory there is a map of the gardens but detailed maps are available at the entrances.

Free guided walks of one and a half hours duration are taken daily by trained guides and leave the visitor centre at the Schomburg Pavilion at 10.30am.

There is no need to book unless there are five or more wishing to do the walk.

Clearly a good activity for all in this winter month of July is to visit the outstanding Adelaide Botanic Garden!

Until next month happy gardening from the Amateur Gardener.

Two Wells Lions Club president Rodney Mildred cleaning out one of the historic wells.

Working bee at the wells On Sunday June 11, Two Wells Lions Club members undertook a “working bee” at the historic wells area in Two Wells.

With the help of some very handy members and local businesses, especially Simon Built, we were able to create a much friendlier opening to the wells that would enable members to enter the wells and clean them and maintain them.

Lots of hands on deck meant that the job was completed in record time.

Whilst this was going on, other members undertook some gardening.

Fallen trees were chopped, and removed, and weeds were grubbed out and the area was mulched, creating a much nicer area near the wells.

A great morning tea was kindly

provided by Karen Mildred for all those lending a hand.

There is still much more to do and we hope that with on going working bees we can create a nicer area in Two Wells to attract visitors to this area.

Students get cooking on Reconciliation day

Obituary

Brenton Kym Applebee 3/10/1958 – 16/5/2017 Brenton Kym Applebee was born on 3rd of October 1958 at the Mallala Hospital.

He was the eldest child of Graham and Del and had two younger brothers, Warren and Philip.

Brenton was a much loved husband to Pam, father to his two sons Darren and Nathan, and grandfather to Angus.

Brenton started school at Two Wells Primary School in 1964, which is the same school his father and grandfather attended.

In his younger years Brenton enjoyed hanging out with his local friends, and stories emerged of bins being blown up with firecrackers with lots of near misses, be he wasn’t involved in any of that of course!

Around this time, Brenton was dared by his socalled friend to go and collect a clump of grass, which one of them had just thrown at a bee-hive, knocking if from a tree.

The result of this was a night in hospital.

In 1970 Brenton moved on to Gawler High School.

He was generally well behaved although one time he got into trouble on the school bus for swearing and the police gave him a talking to.

Brenton enjoyed his schooling but on the last day of high school he played a prank by playing “Schools out forever” over the PA system, which caused quite a stir.

After leaving school at 17 Brenton started an apprenticeship in electronics at WRE and continued to work there.

In 1984 Brenton completed his diploma in electronics and obtained fulltime employment at Regency TAFE as a lecturer in electronics and other subjects.

Brenton continued to work at Regency TAFE right up until four years ago when he retired.

Brenton enjoyed attending rural youth, which mostly involved going away camping, debating and socialising, and this is where he met the love of his life, Pam. They were married at Roseworthy College Chapel on April 24 th, 1982.

In 1984 his first son Darren was born, followed by his second son, Nathan in 1987.

In 2013 Nathan married Sandee and Brenton finally got that daughter he had always wanted.

In 2016 he gained another in Heidi.

On 1st October 2015 Brenton was overjoyed when he was blessed with a grandson, Angus, who Brenton with his sons he idolised and loved Darren and Nathan spending time with. “back in the day”.

Brenton had many hobbies, not just electronics.

He loved to fish and would quite often take his sons out fishing, which soon turned into his sons taking him out fishing.

School holidays were spent at Marion Bay catching a range of fish including whiting, crayfish and many other species.

Brenton enjoyed sport and his career started with tennis, which then moved to football and then golf.

But his highest sporting achievement was cooking 500 sausages for the Two Wells Football Club one Saturday!

Brenton was a giving man and was awarded Citizen of the Year by the (then) District Council of Mallala for his community work.

Even in his ill-health he continued to give to the community by volunteering at the football club, where he was a life member.

He was also a life member of the Lions Club, which is similar to the old Apex Club, of which he was also a member. Brenton was a keen traveller in his later years. He and Pam started their travels in 2010 when they went to Bali.

From there it progressed to Europe, China, Thailand and New Zealand, to name a few. As soon as they returned home Brenton began planning the next adventure.

Sadly, Brenton was planning a trip to Canada and Alaska for his and Pam’s 60th birthday next year.

Brenton was a well recognised person around the Two Wells community and will be sadly missed by all.

His generosity and cheerful nature will always be remembered by those fortunate enough to have known him.

Pam, Darren and Nathan, and their families, would like to thank all the people who have supported them at this difficult time.

Learning how to make damper as part of Reconciliation Day activities were Room 6 Reception students, from left, Aayla, Oliver, Sienna, and Jaike.

Making damper over an open fire, watching a traditional smoking ceremony and creating artwork was all in the name of reconciliation at Two Wells Primary School last month.

The school held a belated Reconciliation Day on Wednesday June 21 with a variety of different events and activities throughout the day, including an enjoyable whole-school picnic on the oval for lunch.

“The students made footprints to decorate the front driveway as part of the theme for Reconciliation Week ‘let’s take the next steps’,” TWPS counsellor, Zoe Evans said.

“We made yummy damper, which most of us shared at our whole school picnic (and) Leonne read Dreamtime stories to the students at both recess and lunch.”

The Junior and Middle Primary classes participated in cultural activities while the Upper Primary students were taught the ‘Aboriginal historical role play of SA’ as part of the day.

Also in attendance was Jack Buckskin Kumakaro, who wowed the students with a performance and smoking ceremony.

Uniting Church celebrates 40 years together for a meal and a catch-up.

The photo booth and its many props was a hit with young and older alike as these photos below show. A big happy 3.0. to you both.

Two Wells Uniting Church celebrated the 40th anniversary of the merging of the Presbyterian, Methodist and Congregational churches of Australia in 1977 last month.

Pictured right before tucking into a delicious local cake are members of the church congregation, from left, (standing) Alex, Harry, Maxine, Paul, Robyn, Malcolm, Stuart, Robin, Hartley, Mollie, (front) Heather, Gloria and (seated) Margaret and Rae. 21st Celebration for Angus Lower Light sharp shooter, Angus Tapscott celebrated his 21st birthday on Saturday June 10 with a “fencing contractors’ dinner” at the family property. Angus, who is a keen and talented clay target shooter, had a replica of his favourite gun feature on an impressive birthday cake. The Abdilla family provided lamb on the spit for the 75 guests to enjoy, which was served with vegetables and followed by an array of delicious homemade desserts. Angus

works with his dad, Greg, in the family fencing business, and people travelled from across the state to help him celebrate. The night turned into a three-day affair for some revellers, with swags and campers pitched and everyone enjoying the bonfire

and hearty breakfast the following morning. Angus’ sister, Airlie made an impressive number 21 artwork out of hundreds of empty shotgun shells and also made the table decorations.

Congratulations Angus, sounds like it was a fantastic night and a great

family affair.

contact with a wild animal in its own territory.

Beach wrack is the dead sea grass/ sea weed that we encounter on the beach.

To some it is unsightly but this material provides a natural environment with food and shelter for local fauna including microbes, insects and macro invertebrates.

These in turn provide the food and shelter for birds and plants.

Some birds including Hooded Plover (Thinornis rubricollis) Pied Oyster Catcher (Haematopus longirostris) nest amongst this material.

At low tide many shore birds forage for food amongst this material.

Beach wrack also plays a significant role in protecting our coastal dunes from erosion forces of the wind

and tidal surges.

It’s not that hard to protect our natural environments.

I believe the key is to understand why animals, insects and plants are where they are.

Like us humans, who need food, water and shelter, so do they.

It is up to all of us to help protect and create natural environments, so our children can experience what we have today.

This project offers an opportunity for you to help increase biodiversity within our region and create your own piece of paradise, a wildlife friendly backyard with food and shelter for our native birds, butterflies and lizards.

Each year the NRC and Gawler Environment and Heritage Association (GEHA) team up and grow thousands of local indigenous native plants.

This project offers the opportunity for people within our regions to purchase cheap locally indigenous plants. $26 for 20 plants or $65 for 50 plants.

Good Food Christobel’s superior sponge cake Any time is a good time for sponge roll and Christobel Crabb of Lower Light has a cracker of a recipe.

For many home bakers the delicious sponge roll is either a walk in the park or one of the most challenging to tackle.

Christobel recently gave a demonstration at the local CWA Wells Girls branch using this recipe and eased a few fears in the process.

So why not give her method a go and see if your sponge turns out light, soft and fluffly?

Ingredients 3 eggs 115gms sugar 115gms plain flour 1 level tspn cream of tartar ½ level tspn bicarb soda 2 tblspn milk Vanilla essence Pinch of salt

Method Sift flour, carb soda and cream of tartar three times (this step is important), to incorporate as much air as possible.

In a dry bowl, beat eggs and sugar at high speed until sugar is dissolved and the mixture is thick, pale and creamy.

If you can trace a figure 8 on top of the mixture with the beater and it doesn’t sink before you get to the end of the figure 8, it is ready.

Add sifted flour mixture.

Using a metal tablespoon carefully fold in the flour mixture, taking the spoon to the bottom of the bowl, then turning it over as you bring it up through the mixture.

Repeat until the flour is incorporated, turning bowl slightly when necessary.

Scrape out the spoon every now and

Two Wells Echo, July, 2017

again so that the ingredients are all mixed evenly.

Add the milk and vanilla essence then pour evenly into a prepared tin.

Bake for 12-15 minutes.

To roll the sponge, lay a tea towel on a cooling rack and sprinkle a teaspoon of sugar over it.

The cake will shrink in from the sides of the tin when cooked, and a skewer inserted into the middle will come out dry.

Remove from the oven; run a knife around the edge of the cake just in case it has stuck to the tin, them turn out onto the tea towel.

Remove the lining from the bottom of the cake and using the tea towel, roll firmly from the short side, incorporating the tea towel as you roll.

Finish with the seam on the bottom of the cake and leave to cool on the cake rack.

Unroll when cold, and fill with whipped cream or lemon curd or butter cream.

Variation: to make a Yule log at Christmas, replace 2 heaped tablespoons of flour with cocoa powder, and sift with the other ingredients.

Fill with whipped cream or chocolate butter cream, then re-roll and cover the cake with butter cream.

Drag a fork along the top to represent bark, then sprinkle with chopped pistachio nuts.

Chocolate butter cream – in a medium bowl beat 35 grams cocoa powder and 60 grams softened butter on low speed until thoroughly mixed.

Gradually mix in 2 cups of icing sugar (sifted if necessary) until combined, then beat in enough hot water to make a spreadable mixture.

I know I have mentioned previously of my kayaking adventures amongst the mangroves at some of our regions coastal environments.

But I have to share what I believe to be one of those special moments in time.

I was fishing in my kayak when two Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) surfaced about 10 metres away from me.

I watched these magnificent animals gracefully swim through the water and when they were about 30 metres away they both turned and headed towards me.

They then split up and dove only to resurface with a surge of speed and power as they herded a school of fish right in front of me.

It was all over in about 20 seconds and then they just swam way.

I couldn’t believe what had just happened I just sat there speechless and with a sense of immense joy.

To tell you the truth I didn’t care if I caught any fish, which I didn’t.

We are so lucky to have a dolphin sanctuary right on our door step.

Pixar delivered on the animation once again, but did it deliver with a decent story-line? From pre-schoolers to adults, many would agree this film nicely contributes to the story of race car Lightning McQueen and cleverly makes way for a new generation of ‘rookies’ to be followed.

After Cars 2, which concentrated more on the character of Mater and was not greeted with the same positive response as the original film, Cars 3 had a lot of ground to make up.

Bringing the focus of the story back to Lightning McQueen, and indeed back to the physical setting of the United States, Cars 3 reintroduces the integral character of Doc Hudson, albeit through flash backs, as Doc was taken out of the story in the previous film, fans still not sure how?

Themes of friendship are once again revisited, with the film showing friendly rivalry at the start between the top racers instead of unhealthy competition that characterised most of McQueen’s career.

This soon changes when a new rookie, Jackson Storm is introduced and shakes up the happy medium that the ‘older’ racers were enjoying on the circuit.

He replaces Chick Hicks as the main rival and embodies all that illustrates bad sportsmanship, which is what McQueen fell prey to before he made lifelong friendships in Radiator Springs.

The concept of ageing and retirement is explored and how to approach a career that may be pulling in for its final pit stop.

New friendships are formed, new lessons learned, and a poignant, but satisfying ending is delivered.

Jamie’s a local footy legend Natalie Centenera reports: I’m not a football fan.

I grew up in NSW, which is Rugby League territory.

I do have a team, the Parramatta Eels,but I don’t really follow them.

I wince if they are close to becoming wooden spooners, or celebrate if they make the GF, which hasn’t happened of late.

After living in South Australia for 11 years, I’m not averse to aerial ping pong (Aussie Rules), I just don’t follow it.

Both my sons gave it a go, but ended up on a basketball court insteadindoor sports suit this mother.

So suffice to say that I am a stranger in a strange land with all things AFL, ostracised from the safety of the eastern states’ code that I grew up with.

After meeting with Jamie Thomas, Virginia Rams current A-Grade coach, to catch up about his 1000 game celebration, for this piece in the Echo, I realise that I am the wrong person for the job.

Having played footy for almost 50 years, Jamie has a sporting history that could fill a special edition sporting almanac on its own.

A 1000 game celebration includes all games that are either played or coached, and Jamie has earned his stripes in both roles.

A local footy legend if ever there was one.

He lists for me teams he has played and coached

3 1

for, places he has travelled, and sporting greats he met along the way.

For this AFL numpty, it is like listening to a foreign language.

Did the list include an AFL team?

“I actually got approachedbyStKilda,whilst playing in Melbourne for the SAAFL under 18s, but I declined the offer when I returned to Adelaide,” Jamie explained.

“North Adelaide then approached me to play for them, but I was tied to Centrals at the time.

“Most of my mates were playing under 19s at Centrals so I decided to train with them.

“I played my first preseason with Centrals in 1981, and started in the league side that year.

“I retired from Centrals at the end of the 1989 season winning the Reserves premiership, at the age of 26.”

After a brief stint of coaching and playing in NSW he returned to Adelaide, and played and coached for Willaston and Loxton North also travelling to Darwin for six months every year, to play in their season which ran from October to March.

“Two days after the last game I would get on a plane back to Adelaide and play six months here,” he said.

“I just played non- stop, I’ve been all around Australia playing footy.”

Jamie’s semi-professional playing and coaching history continued and his impressive resume is

Far left: Jamie in action for the State side, early on in his career. far too long to give credit here.

So I ask if he ever regretted not playing for an AFL team.

“I have no regrets about anything,” he says adamantly.

As much as I don’t know football, my ears perk up.

I could learn a thing or two from this bloke, who has lived a happy and fulfilled life, doing what he loves.

He showed me a scrapbook of newspaper clippings and photos his mother started when he began appearing in the local newspapers, although he wasn’t looking to show me pictures of himself, he proudly turned to the page and produced a black and white picture of his first wife and their three

children.

Later he shows me a picture on his phone of his three children with his second wife.

He is smitten with his six children and seven grandchildren, and this makes for a confident individual, player and coach.

“I know I was good enough,” he said.

“I met some amazing people at Centrals, including supporters, players, officials, and had a lot of respect and support from the people there, which was a good feeling.”

What has he noticed about the culture and playing of the game over the years?

“It’s totally different now,” he said.

“When I was younger and playing, it was a lot more physical, a lot more passion.

“Modern society is different,kids are not like they used to be.

“We’re a lot more protective of kids now.

“And because of that, the way society is,it changes the way sport is.

“The game is probably a better game, cause it’s faster.”

He draws a comparison between himself and his son Paul, who is currently the assistant coach of the Adelaide Crows.

“If you had have rung me back in the day, at 9 o’clock on a Sunday morning, I might just be getting home from the nightclubs, getting ready for training.

“But if you ring Paul, 9 o’clock on a Saturday night he’s home already, getting ready for training, preparing himself, he is very professional.

“I don’t go out any more,” he chuckles, “I’m too old.”

His father coached Salisbury North, where Jamie started his football career at age five.

“Between my brothers and myself we have the record at Salisbury North for most games played as a family.”

However footy fever almost left Jamie as he toyed with the idea of concentrating his efforts into another sport,playing basketball for the Gawler Lions, and State Country basketball at the age of 14 and 15.

What advice would this accomplished footballer give to players now?

“Enjoy the game, because once you’re finished playing,you’re out,”he said.

“Give it your best, enjoy the camaraderie of your team mates and support your club.

F“Hang round each other, support each other, become family.

“If you win a premiership, you become friends for life, and I’ve been lucky enough to win 10 premierships, and I still ring some of those blokes that I played with and say g’day.”

His take on the APFL at the moment?

“This competition is really tight,there are six sides that are good enough to win the flag up here at the moment, there are only two games separating all of us,” Jamie said.

So when it came time to celebrate his 1000 game milestone, Jamie decided to hold it at his current football club home ground, Virginia.

One hundred and forty people attended a catered meal with a band,and were lucky enough to listen

to the man of the moment belt out a few tunes with his mates; he played with some of the band at Salisbury North all those years ago.

Old friends and team mates attended, as well as all six children.

“We danced and sung,it was good to share special moments with them,” he said.

“People ask me if I regret not playing for the Crows? No, not really.

“If I played for the Crows I wouldn’t have gone to Darwin, I wouldn’t have met my second wife, wouldn’t have coached.

“Probably would have made a lot more money, but money isn’t everything, happiness is a lot better than money.”

“Football, it’s definitely what I love,and I don’t have any regrets.”

Left, below and bottom: Just a few of the many newspaper clippings in Jamie’s collection.

Young Connor chasing his rugby dream Bec O’Brien reports: Two Wells teenager, Connor Moore, is chasing his dream of one day playing rugby union for a team in the national Australian competition.

Connor, a 16-year-old Year 10 Trinity College student,was recently selected in the South Australian State Rugby Union Under 18 Schoolboys Division 2 side, which will compete at the eight-day World Rugby Carnival at Runaway Bay on the Gold Coast this month.

Currently playing in the Under 18 team for the Barossa Rams, Connor travels extensively for the sport he loves and trains up to five nights a week.

Still one of the youngest on the team, he has previously been selected in the Under 15 and Under 16 state teams and is no stranger when it comes to working hard, commitment and dedication.

Connor plays tight head or prop positions, which means he’s often used as the “muscle” of the team, and takes some of the big hits at the front of the scrum.

“My confidence has improved

a lot,” he said.

“I’m not as nervous as I used to be (despite) being small compared to most other props.”

Players in this position commonly weigh more than 100 kilograms and with Connor just 88kg, he makes up for his lack of bulk with strength and speed.

“I’m strong,” he said.

Connor is hoping to continue his rugby union success by receiving a sporting scholarship to a city or interstate school, and hopes one day to play the sport he loves professionally.

Best of luck Connor.

The ongoing perfect weather continued to display some great scores for the second round of the club championships at Two Wells, with 23 players hitting the course to continue their individual quest for golf’s “Holy Grail “ Club Champion in their respective grade.

A grade was again dominated by Gary Payne with a fine 80 off the stick to win on the day.

Close behind was the birthday boy, Rabbit, turning 53 on Friday proved he was up for the task shooting 81 with Andrew Baker also playing well with a fine 82.

After two rounds all three are equal on 163, which will prove interesting in a fortnight as they will play together in the third round.

B Grade also provided some great scores with Steve Kelly stepping up and shooting a fine 83 off the stick net 64, which would be close to his lowest for some time.

Ian Clark finished second with 64 and Doug Burford popping in for another cameo appearance with 67 for third place.

After two rounds B grade is shaping up for a solid third round with Steve Kelly and Ian Clark both on 181 and Ian Gameau on 184.

This should prove to be a good match up in the third round.

Jim Weir, Hans Linford and Ian Smith are close behind waiting for the leaders to falter.

Kathy Stubing again continued to show fine form shooting her lowest round this year with 81 net 64.

It was also a great day as Shorty Paul celebrated his 80th birthday at the club with family and friends.

It was great to see Shorty out at the club and many members remained after the presentation to celebrate his milestone.

We wish him all the best for the future.

Of course each week there is an award for the worst round of the day.

The NAGA is often hotly contested, however it would be remise of me not to acknowledge that three of the last four rounds the NAGA has been presented to the Captain.

I have struggled with both knee issues and a pulled back muscle over the past weeks however no excuses, as I am willing to hand the reign over to the next poor member who is in need of a golf ball and the medal.

The continuing unseasonal warm weather and no rain presented the Two Wells course in near perfect conditions for the opening round of the 2017 Club Championships, with 23 players out on the course.

A grade was dominated by Arthur (Rabbit) Christou who also won the monthly medal with a fine round of 82/63 with Gary Payne close behind with 83/65 and Bobby Hogg third with 82/66.

After the first round Andrew Baker carded 81, Rabbit and Bobby carding 82 with Gary Payne 83.

B Grade was also a close affair with Jim Weir holding off Ian Gameau in the count back for 1st, both with net 69 and Hans Linford close behind with 70.

After the first round Ian Gameau carding 90, Jim Weir 91 and Hans Linford 92.

The rest of the guys have some work cut out to narrow the gap, with three more rounds to go it will be a good chase for all.

Date: 10 Jun 17 Competition: Presidents Trophy Rd 2 - Stableford Sponsor: Two Wells Golf Club With the continuing perfect weather conditions, 14 members played in the second round of the President’s Trophy at Two Wells.

Good solid rounds in both grades were carded which were no doubt a tune up for the members in next week’s first round of the Club Championships.

A Grade was a close affair with Gary Payne taking the count back from Andrew Baker both with impressive 42 points and Bobby Hogg third with a solid 40 Points.

Gary played myself in match play and made his intentions clear from the first tee off with a bullet drive to one foot from the pin, which he sunk the birdie.

Repeating the same shot on the second with another birdie to press home his advantage gave him a commanding lead of four up after four holes and all I could do was to try to stop his run and settle down, which I held on to turn the front nine -4.

On the 10th he repeated it again with solid drives and shots to the scrape to again take a birdie moving to +5.

I fought back with a solid birdie on the 11th and won the 12th but my race was run after the 14th when my knee gave out.

Gary finished the match 4/3 which was a solid round of 84 on the day.

B Grade was a surprise to all after last week’s performance with Jeoff Spackman rising from the joint NAGA with myself to find form with 41 points and a four-point win from Ray Prior who finished with 37 points over Hans Linford also on 37 points.

The NAGA of course fell to myself again two weeks running so I will be happy to hand it to another deserving winner next week.

Kathy Stubing the only lady on

the day also played very well with 35 points and despite a crow being attracted to her yellow ball retained her sense of humour when she told the story back in the clubhouse.

With the first round of the Club Championships next week I would like to wish all the members good golfing and low scores.

Dad always told me to “drive for show and putt for dough”, which I am sure all would agree.

The new scrapes are proving to be very consistent and the course whilst still no rain has a good coverage and the ongoing fine weather should bring some good scores to the clubhouse.

This shot from Adam Bail hitting off the 7th resulted in a birdie on June 24.

A Grade results; G. Payne 42, A, Baker 42, R. Hogg 40, J. Ball 37, A. Paul 37, S. Kelly 35, I. Clark 33, P. Shields 29 Pts. B Grade results; J. Spackman 41, R. Prior 37, H. Linford 37, M. Dimasi 30, D. Smith 26 Pts. Ladies results: K. Stubing 35 Pts.

Date: 3 Jun 17 Competition: Applebee & Belcher Trophy - Pinehurst Sponsor: Two Wells Golf Club A fantastic day warm sunny conditions for the Annual Applebee and Belcher Pinehurst Trophy.

Seventeen members and two ladies competed on the day with the course looking very inviting as folks practiced on and around the 18th scrape.

Congratulations to Adam Bail and Gary Payne who were the 2017 Applebee and Belcher Winners playing very well to edge out Hans Linford and Doug Burford finishing second with Steve Kelly & Jim Weir third. Captain Paul Shields and Jeoff Spackman finished with the NAGA. Whilst we both played some ordinary shots we agreed that the opposition team of Andrew Baker and Ian Clark played some nasty tricks on us.

Of course Ian as always was the consummate gentlemen but Andrew of course took things to a new level with his shorts split all the way down his crutch which was quite off-putting for both of us as we lined up for putts and he was at the other end squatting down behind the pin like a wicket keeper with all to see.

All the groups had a few tales of how their partners left them very “awkward” second shots none more noticeable as Jeoff and my tee shots on the 8th both finishing between the old tee block and the new one.

So I will leave that to everyone’s imagination.

Andrew will not doubt tell you all as he was in stitches.

It was all in good taste with some great banter I am sure.

Results: Adam Bail & Gary Payne 63 ¾ , Hans Linford & Doug Burford 65 ¼ , Steve Kelly & Jim Weir 66 7/8 , Danny.

Smith & Kathy Stubing 68 ½ , Chris Barker & Darrell Thompson 69 ¼, Ian Gameau & Ray Prior 70, Tim Clifton & Bobby Hogg 70 ½ , Andrew Baker & Ian Smith 73 ¾ , Paul Shields & Jeoff Spackman 74 ¾.

Ongoing results for the championships and weekly rounds can be found on the Two Wells Website: http://twowellsgolfclub.com.au.

Neil Bowden found the trees again on the 17th hole but out on the 9th tree line at TWGC on June 24.
