ADELAIDE Plains Council is looking to introduce a kerbside hard waste collection service and is seeking residents’ thoughts on the matter. The council is also hoping to expand its green waste kerbside collection services and possibly tender out all waste collection services in the future. APC has released an online survey to the public about the issue, with APC infrastructure general manager, Martin Waddington, saying the ad-
ing is about a kerbside hard waste pickup service. “The details are yet to be worked out, right now we’re trying to gauge whether people are in favour of the service, acknowledging it would come at a cost. “There’s no getting around it, it would come at an additional cost.” Mr Waddington said council was currently exploring several options to introduce the hard waste service, including designated dates once or
twice a year, if people can afford it, or working with a contractor. He also noted in a report presented to council at its July 17 meeting, the Barossa Regional Procurement Group (BRPG), of which APC is a member, recently released a tender for waste collection services. “The scope of the tender includes kerbside waste, recycling and organics pick-up services and also hard waste pick-up services,” Mr Waddington noted.
“Councils can choose one or the other or both if desired. “As a member of the BRPG, Adelaide Plains Council wished to participate in the tender process in order to gauge the effectiveness of contracting out these services and comparing that to its historical ‘inhouse’ method.” Each of the three other councils has contracted these services out in the past. n Continued page 3.

Trees cleared behind service centre
No 8
YOU may have noticed a few large Peppercorn trees have been removed from around the Two Elizabeth Wells council service centre on Old Port Wakefield road recently. While there had been some whispers it was in preparation for an expansion of the facilities at the centre, Adelaide Plains Council was quick to clarify this is not the case. According to APC infrastructure general manager, Martin Waddington, the trees were cut down mainly because of occupational health and safety reasons. “The primary issue was that one of these trees was starting to threaten this building (Two Wells service centre),” Mr Waddington said. “The root system was getting too big and things were starting to migrate underneath the building. “They were leaning against the building, very close to the building, so if they had let go we would have had some severe damage, so it’s an occupational health and safety issue there, plus it’s an asset problem. “Also, we have had history of snakes making their homes in all the root systems.” APC development and community general manager, Rob Veitch, said it was this concern that also prompted the action. “The snake issue was as much of a concern for staff as well as it was an issue for the buildings,” Mr Veitch said. “There’s been a few snake sightings over the last few summers.” The area is set to have minor landscaping done within the next few months.

Election coming to fill Picard vacancy ADELAIDE Plains Council will hold a supplementary election in coming months following the resignation of long-time councillor Anne Picard. Mrs Picard was first elected to represent the Lewiston ward in November 2006 and has served continuously since that time. Prior to this her husband Michael served eight years with the District Council of Mallala, three of them as chairman. Both Anne and Michael have served on the Gawler River Flood Management Authority as board members and suggest they will continue to take a keen interest in the river and
its floodplain. “We have both been involved one way or another in council issues, particularly in the Lewiston and Two Wells areas, from about the mid 80’s,” Mrs Picard said in an email response to the Echo. Mrs Picard handed in her resignation to APC at the end of June but she has firmly given no comment as to the reasons behind her decision. APC mayor, Tony Flaherty praised Mrs Picard’s time on council. “Anne Picard was a well respected elected member of Adelaide Plains Council, having served her community for
almost 11 years,” Mr Flaherty said. “Anne’s passion for her region cannot be understated and council particularly benefitted from Anne’s keen interest and knowledge in Gawler River flood management matters. “Indeed, she served as board member on the GRFMA for many years.” APC chief executive officer, James Miller, said the supplementary election process for the ward of Lewiston would begin as soon as possible and council would be assisted by the Australian Electoral Commission throughout the election process.
If you would like to vote at the upcoming Adelaide Plains Council supplementary election for the ward of Lewiston, you had better be quick and get your name on the voters’ roll. APC is set to open the ballot boxes for the vacant position on October 9 but the voters roll closes on July 31. Key dates for the election period include August 24, when nominations for the position officially open; September 7 (nominations close); September 19-25 (ballot packs are posted out) and October 9 (polling day). Ballot boxes will be located at both the Mallala and Two Wells offices.
Lawrence new council face on floodplain group WITH the recent resignation of wellrespected Lewiston ward councillor, Anne Picard, came the need to appoint a new Adelaide Plains Council representative to the Gawler River Floodplain Management Authority. At the July 17 council meeting, elected members of the APC voted in favour of appointing deputy mayor, Cr Melville Lawrence, as her replacement.
Cr Lawrence served as Cr Picard’s deputy on the GRFMA board, and was regarded as the most appropriate candidate for the position. Cr Keene highlighted the experience Cr Lawrence has in respect to the GRFMA and was quick to nominate him for the position. Cr Keene herself was put forward by Cr Di Troia, however declined the nomination citing her inexperience.
“Cr Lawrence has more information to join the debates than I have,” she said. She did though accept the position of deputy to Cr Lawrence. “I’d like to be able to sit and listen and see what’s going on,” she commented. Cr Lawrence was unanimously voted as the primary representative, with Cr Keene also receiving a unanimous vote in support as his deputy. Two Wells Echo, August, 2017

Residents ask tough questions of Alinta power plant proposal Bec O’Brien reports:
NEWS of a proposed gas and diesel run power plant not far from Mallala has local residents up in arms, with at least one homeowner vowing to sell and move on even before the project is officially given the green light. Energy retailer, Alinta, first announced it was planning to build a $450 million power plant in June, with a community drop-in information session about the project held last week at the Mallala Oval Complex. While the drop-in session attracted around 100 people during the course of the evening, Fischer resident, Crystal Molloy, says she came away from it with more questions than answers and is seriously considering selling her house and moving for the health and wellbeing of her young family. Mrs Molloy, 32, lives about a kilometre from the proposed plant site with her husband Dean, and three children under the age of 10, and has lived in the area for more than a decade. She “absolutely” does not want to see a power plant built in her “backyard”. “I don’t want it there at all,” she said. “The noise, the lights, we moved out here for the peace and quiet, for the country lifestyle, (and) having a power plant built

here, it was the last thing on our mind that could ever get built.” Mrs Molloy said not only was there a potential drop in house and land value, but felt there was a very real risk of ill-health due to possible water contamination and air emissions. “I’ve got three young children, I’m worried about what health risks we’re going to have down the track,” she said. “We’d definitely move, even if this doesn’t get the go-ahead and is a big flop, we have to move.” Mrs Molloy said she found the information given at the community drop-in session last week misleading, and the representatives present, contradictory. “They couldn’t answer the
questions that I had, it was like a ‘pass the buck’ type of thing,” she said. “I think they are just telling us the information they want us to know. What aren’t they telling us?” Alinta’s communications manager, Megan Taylor, attended the consultation, saying residents asked specific and detailed questions. “We had more than 100 local people attend the drop-in consultation and feedback session and many people asked quite detailed questions, which is a great thing,” Ms Taylor said. “We also got some feedback and suggestions, which will influence the design of our project for when we submit the development
approval process and undertake four weeks of consultation as part of that process.” Ms Taylor said the company hoped to encourage as much input as possible from residents about the proposal and said there would likely be more community meetings to follow. “We want to ensure the detail about the proposal is transparent and accurate, so the community is able the meaningfully respond to the proposed plans,” she said.

Waste pick-up survey pending n From Page 1 There is no obligation for any council to engage a contractor at the end of the process, however, if APC were to accept any tender, then the contractor will be required to commence on the 1st of February 2018. Mr Waddington said council’s current waste pick-up method historically provided kerbside waste, recyclables and organic pick-up services utilising its own staff and two garbage trucks. “The trucks are now at an age where they are effectively worn out and frequently breaking down,” he stated. “In 2016/17 the cost of repairs for the ordinary council meeting of 17 July 2017, two garbage trucks combined, not including routine maintenance, was $67,941. While these trucks were being repaired and effectively off the road, council were forced to hire replacement garbage trucks which cost $7,447. “At times there were no trucks readily available for hire.” Lewiston resident and Echo Landcare columnist, Mark Webb, has welcomed council’s survey initiative, saying in particular the hard waste rubbish collection service “is a brilliant idea”. “I know it will come at a cost, but how much does it cost to pick up the rubbish all the time from the side of the road?” Mark said. “This is more sustainable, it’s also making people be more responsible and their kids see that too. “That community awareness and education, how do you put a price on that?” The survey will be accessible through a link on the APC website until 5pm Monday August 7. Hard copy forms are also available at APC service centres.

CCTV equipment will not be installed at the Lewiston Playground as Adelaide Plains Council wiped it from its budget.
Projects on hold as APC slashes budget spend
ADELAIDE Plains Council adopted its annual business plan and budget on Monday evening, July 10, at a special council meeting. Councillors deliberated on numerous items within the budget, slashing more than half a million dollars expenditure, in order to comfortably pass the document for the 2017/2018 financial year. Cr Steve Jones spoke against adopting the plan at the June 19 meeting as changes recommended by councillors were not reflected in the document. “I want to err on the side of caution, as it is in the interest of the ratepayers,” he said. Cr Keene agreed and moved a motion to adjourn the adoption of the budget and hold a special meeting to workshop the issues, “until we get this right.” On Monday night, CEO James Miller spoke about the series of failed attempts to hold a special meeting following the initial report presented on June 19. These failed attempts stemmed from an inability to achieve quorum, Mr Miller indicating a report would be brought to council in the coming weeks. “I will be itemising and timelining the entire process from the January adoption of the budget timeline,
Natalie Centenera reports: right through ‘til this point now, and get a few things on public record,” he said. Particular items of contention within the budget were discussed and debated with each councillor identifying their concerns and council staff offering their opinions and advice. Rajith Udugampola, APC’s general manager of finance and economic development, reiterated to councillors management can advise elected members, but it was their final call, saying, “If you cut money, we will advise of the repercussions.” And cut they did. Re-kerbing was deferred. Resheeting of three roads was suspended until their usage is investigated further. Cr Jones identified Thompson Road being used by heavy vehicles, which is illegal as a category three road. “I would not allow any money to be spent on Thompson Road until this council does something about those heavy vehicles,” he said. Council is currently sourcing a contract for kerbside waste collection, however if this does not
come to fruition, a number of items earmarked for upgrades for in-house management of garbage collection has also been deferred. CCTV equipment for the Lewiston playground was wiped, despite council staff advising against removing it from the budget. The controversial roundabout, which will set the council back about $500,000, was passed, primarily due to legally binding agreements regarding the Hickinbotham development.
be debt free. Cr Keene identified the need to keep in mind the outcomes of APC’s obligations to the Gawler River Flood Management Authority (GRFMA) as well as the obligation to provide for the Two Wells township southern levee. “There’s too many unknowns with that,” Mr Miller stated. “This is based on the available information and purely based on the existing loan,” Mr Udugampola added.
“I will be itemising and timelining the entire process from the January adoption of the budget timeline, right through ‘til this point now, and get a few things on public record.” - James Miller Council staff’s insistence on the need for a full-time engineer and a 0.6 general inspector were not in vain, however, elected members agreed to a 0.6 engineer and a 0.4 general inspector. Residents can expect a modest 2.5 per cent increase in rates, but reduction in asset management to compensate. Council had previously already reduced debts by 1.2 million in the last financial year alone and it is hoped that by 2022, the council will
“We will be debt free in 2022 based on current loans.” Elected members were swayed by the collective voice of ratepayers, particularly those of the Adelaide Plains Ratepayers and Residents Association, in a bid to reduce the debt level that has plagued the council for the past few years. Whether ratepayers will be placated by the budgetary cuts or not will be evident in the coming year, as the consequences of savings measures may manifest.

ADELAIDE Plains Council has thrown its support behind a push to see a second sea level gauge erected in the state, which could help future planning for possible sea level rises and risk management in coastal areas in years to come. APC councillors were given a detailed and scientific presentation by Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources (DEWNR) representatives at its July 17 meeting, where DEWNR Coast and River Murray unit manager, Murray Townsend, spoke to the chamber at length about predicted long-term sea level rises, possible land tilting and flood management in the event of high storm surges. Mr Townsend said current research indicated sea level rise (SLR) was, on a global scale, increasing by about 3.4mm per year and by the year 2100 it is estimated to rise by between 52 and 98 centimetres. “Regardless of what we do we are committed to sea level rise for some centuries to come,” he said. In South Australia the current SLR, according to Mr Townsend’s information, was 1.5mm per year, with the state measuring change since the early 1990s with the aid of gauges at Thevenard on the West Coast of Eyre Peninsula, and Port Stanvac. The Port Stanvac gauge was removed in December 2010, however, Mr Townsend told councillors the state’s Coast Protection Board was pushing for the South Australian Bureau of Meteorology (SABOM) to reinstall a new gauge at O’Sullivan Beach in the near future. APC development and community general manager, Rob Veitch, said council supported a motion for a letter of support for the reinstallation of the gauge to be sent to BOM. “It’s another council adding their support to it,” Mr Veitch said. “They were two years shy of having a 20-year cycle of data, and they didn’t touch on this (in the presentation), which I think they probably should have. “That’s what a lunar cycle is, 20 years. It’s been installed in 1992 and taken out in 2010, so there’s your 18 years. “It only needs another two years of data and we’d have some fairly comprehensive information there.” Deep Bench Marks have also been established around the state’s coastline, including one at Port Parham in November of last year.

Language learning is lit at Virginia Primary AN intensive literacy program at Virginia Primary School is having a big impact on student learning and reading success. The school’s MiniLit program, which was first introduced to the school in 2015, is an evidence based, explicit reading program targeting Year 1 students. The program has a committed team of four trained and enthusiastic school support officers (SSO) who conduct sessions with groups of up to four children for 45 minutes four mornings a week. With a high proportion of children coming from a nonEnglish speaking background,
Bec O’Brien reports: MiniLit coordinator, Robyn Lewis, says the program sets students up with sound reading foundations. “Students who have English as an additional language benefit greatly as they have lots of opportunities to talk as well,” Ms Lewis said. “Having developed good decoding skills, a better understanding of punctuation and comprehension, these students have a good foundation to become successful readers. “The success rate is high
and children who complete the program have fun, support each other, learn to work as a team, share and take turns.” On entry to the program students are assessed and grouped. Each group moves through a structured weekly program, with each lesson comprising three main components; sound and word activities, text reading and comprehension and story book reading. Some of the focus areas of the program include letter combinations and blending of sounds, spelling, sight words, reading fluency, vocabulary, digraphs, and phoneme manipulation.
Students are introduced to these ideas through a variety of engaging and hands-on activities including flashcards, sound boxes, letter tiles, writing, diction and word games. The program is run before the start of the school day and is a big commitment by staff, students, parents and caregivers. “This program is massive,” Ms Lewis said. “Parents are very supportive and some stay for part of the session so that they can use similar strategies at home.” The school also offers the program during the day for those students unable to make the morning sessions.
Food festival delayed A HUGE food festival planned for the Adelaide Plains later this year has been postponed due to a lack of interest. The proposed Northern Plains Food Festival was to be staged in Two Wells on October 21st and was billed by organisers as a “colourful, happy, noisy, great smelling, great tasting” event, which would feature local food producers, wine, live music, exhibits and entertainment to cater for all ages. Two Wells Echo, August, 2017
Bec O’Brien reports: Despite the many efforts of the Northern Plains Compass (NPC) group members however, interest in the event has petered out. NPC president and Adelaide Plains Councillor, Eddie Stubing, is upbeat about the decision, saying the event - which is based on the popular expos held in Virginia in the late 1990s - still
holds much potential and postponing it will give the group the time it needs to garner support and boost backing. “If we’re going to do it properly we need to have it next year,” Mr Stubing told fellow councillors at APC’s July meeting. “The potential is there, we haven’t lost momentum but we are struggling at the moment. “It’s a good idea, it’s a great stage to set for Virginia, Mallala, Dublin and Two Wells.”

Written word strikes a chord with VPS students
Extracts of VPS Year 6/7 recount writing about the school’s sports day
By Nhi “The car lot was filled with dozens of cars, students, children and parents wearing different colours to support their team or favourite team. Oh!!! How fabulous! I forgot to wear a yellow shirt to school. Never mind. I don’t have any. The school was filled with many people in multiple colours; they were streaming out to the big oval. To me, the people looked like bugs that were crawling on a flower that is full of honey. I saw Chloe and Carla, I hurried up to join them. The bell rang alarmingly in my ears, I knew that my tortured day had begun.”
Virginia Primary School Year 6/7 students, from left, Kate, Chloe, Ethan, Alina and Nhi, who are all enjoying writing in class. PUTTING pen to paper and delivering something of meaning is often a challenge for school kids but at Virginia Primary School one class is loving the written word so much their efforts are catching the eye of staff and students across the school. Cathy Lock’s Year 6/7 class’ last major piece of writing was a personal recount of sports day, which was held in April. “The students’ writing was very descriptive, full of personal comment and reflection and interesting to read,” Mrs Lock said. “They are really putting a lot of thought into what sort of events merit recounting and how the manner of retelling makes all the difference to whether the audience finds the writing entertaining.” The class has also written narratives and expositions this term and is looking forward to tackling explanations in science with a focus on natural disasters. “Students will be writing causal explanations; detailing what causes the change from one state to another and factorial and consequential explanations, explaining the effects and outcomes of natural disasters,”
Bec O’Brien reports: Mrs Lock said. “Later we will also be looking at poetry and the way poets use language to create emotional responses.” VPS principal Ilia Tsoutouras said the examples of student writing, as printed in short here by The Echo, was amazing. “Some students in Mrs Lock’s class have demonstrated a real flair for writing,” Mr Tsoutouras said. “They most certainly caught my eye. “There is some very intentional teaching and learning happening within the classroom. “Students are really clear on what creates quality writing as the teacher provides them with learning intentions and success criteria, she also provides each student with targeted, individual feedback to support them in the writing process.” For many of the students in Mrs Lock’s Room 14, English is their second language, almost half, 42 per cent in fact. “Nhi arrived in Australia in 2015
and her ability to read and write English is amazing and continues to improve,” Mrs Lock explained. “She is an avid reader and always has her nose in a book. “Most of the students are from a Vietnamese background, but there are a couple who are from Cambodia.” Writing every day is something Mrs Lock aims to encourage her students to do. She also places a great emphasis on reading and the connection between reading and writing. “Sharing quality examples of students’ writing with the class, as well as teacher modelling has really inspired the students to make their writing interesting and engaging to read,” she said. “I really emphasise the importance of reading and how reading will help development in all learning areas: writing, spelling, maths, science. “We measure the amount of words we read through the Scholastic Learning Zone and, as a class we have nearly read 5.5 million words so far this year. “I think this is very impressive.”

By Kate “I was up. I was the next student in line. I sighed with worry. My feet stood firmly on the cool, green grass. The wind blew in my hair. My eyes focused on the hurdle in front of the fire pit. One foot stepped forward, then the other. My legs sped up and I flew like a butterfly or leapt like a frog, well I wasn’t sure. My feet crashed on the soft, pale sand. I stared back at my feet. I breathed heavily, worrying what the length of my jump was. Ms
By Ethan “All of a sudden we were looking straight ready to jump over the hurdles. When Mrs Lock said go the first person ran and started jumping like an athletic champion. When he got back it was my turn. I ran and started to jump. I made it past a couple, then bang, I knocked one over. I thought to myself this is bad. One of my friends came up and fixed it for me but started to run back and crash! I ran straight into him. I kept running trying to make up time but we also lost that. Then we all grabbed our water bottles and headed to the next event.” By Chloe “At the end of the day when we were all tired and exhausted, the time we had all been waiting for was finally here. The announcement of the winner for the 2017 sports day ceremony.The last digits of our final scores were written on the board. Our team’s number ended with a 9. Para’s ended with a 2 and Light a 7. The team who came third had a score of...9. I knew that was our team. It was really disappointing to have come last when we tried so hard, but all the same we had a lot of fun. The team who came second had a score of ...7. Light. That only left Para, who won with a score of ...2. I was really annoyed because I had planned the scores so that Gawler would win, Light would come second and Para would come last by 100. Oh well. The day was exciting and enjoyable for everyone. It was really a win, win, win for all the teams as we all had so much fun.”

By Alina “It all passed so quickly we were already onto sprints. I stood in line wishing to excel. Gazing at my opponents with a competitive glare in my eyes the temptation to run was lingering in my mind. “Go!” was boomed from one end of the track to the other, I ran with all my might. Finally I took over and won by a mile. My heart was pounding as I waited for my ribbon I read it aloud ‘first’. A sigh of relief caught my breath that’s one event over. Our class gathered all the points from the races and returned the final count to the score keepers. Off to the next activity.”
Lock called out. I was astonished. I was the 4th or 5th person to jump the furthest in my class! I raced to my mum, I told her my length of my jump. She was so proud of me.”

Two Wells Primary School’s space mission TWO Wells Primary School is shooting for the stars and hopes to be involved in the first ever South Australian Schools Space Mission. The school is submitting a bid to be a part of the unique program, which will see three Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) experiments created by school students sent into space to spend a year attached to the International Space Station. High-tech sensors will stream data back to the schools allowing them to analyse the results. TWPS principal Lynda Fitzpatrick-Brown said the school’s involve-
Bec O’Brien reports: ment in the mission was a fantastic opportunity for its students and wider school community to take an active role in both STEM activities and the state’s aerospace industry. “By the end of last term the school had to propose up to three ideas for experiments, then, this term classes will be working with industry and tertiary education organisations to complete a more detailed design of the proposals,” Mrs Fitzpatrick-Brown said. “At the end of Term 3, a select group of students will get the opportunity to present
our ideas to professionals at the 68th International Astronautical Congress being hosted in Adelaide. “After this presentation, six schools will be selected to progress their experiment to the next stage. “We are working towards being one of those six.” If you have skills and experience in the science, engineering or aerospace industry that could assist the school in being successful in their bid please contact TWPS science teacher, Mike Hawkey during school hours on 8520 2277 or email mike. hawkey570@schools. sa.edu.au.
Astrophysicist Natasha Atkins and six-year-old Zac Tilley leave the space dome.
Star dome lands in Two Wells DID you know Sirius is the brightest star in Earth’s night sky? Or that the closer a planet is to the sun the closer they are to each other? Do you know how to find north using just the Southern Cross constellation? Well, a group of budding young astrologers learnt a thing or two about space when a giant star dome landed in Two Wells last month. Science World presenters Natasha Atkins
Bec O’Brien reports:
and Nick Paget, who are both scientists, easily captured the attention of the 20 or so children gathered at the Two Wells Uniting Church on Tuesday July 11 as part of the Adelaide Plains Council’s library services school holiday program. A quick question and answer session about space, where phrases such as “black holes”, “shooting stars” “meteorites” and “micro
gravity”, were thrown around, set the kids up for their time in the star dome, which looked rather like a large, black jumping castle. Once inside and the lights turned off, the kids were awed by the thousands of stars that appeared on the ceiling. Using a laser beam, Natasha pointed out a range of constellations including the Southern Cross, Orion and his dog, and the saucepan or shopping trolley, as well as highlighted why some
stars are different colours to others. At the conclusion of the 20-minute star-dome experience the children split into small groups and were encouraged to create their own planets from a variety of craft supplies. On the cards for the next school holidays, the library has planned a boot-camp style fitness session. For more information contact Anne Sawtell at Two Wells Public Library on 8520 2100.

Bernie’s big bash John Dawkins MLC August Update Members of the Gawler and surrounding communities will be excited at the prospect of another year of the Gawler Show – the 161st. Held this year on 26-27 August, it is the local show for many on the Adelaide Plains. The Gawler Agricultural, Horticultural and Floricultural Society founded the show to display the achievements of the area – sheep, crops and other agricultural successes. Since then, the Show has grown exponentially, boasting 6,500 entries in 25 different competitions. With approximately 30,000 visitors each year, the Gawler Show is the biggest regional show in South Australia. Similarly, the Gawler A, H & F Society has grown dramatically. Each year, the Society reaches out to members of other groups and societies to volunteer, and the hard work and enthusiasm of the volunteers is a big part of what makes it such a great event. Everyone gets involved and has a great time doing so. In the past I’ve had the pleasure of judging several different competitions, such as the White Suffolks in 2016. I look forward to attending again this year – if you see my stand, please feel free to stop by and have a chat to myself or Stephan Knoll MP and Karen McColl, the Liberal Candidate for Light.
Celebrating her 50th birthday last month was Two Wells icon Berni Pellizzari. Bernie (front centre) is pictured here with family members Denis, Maria, Francis and Andrea.

Recently I had the great honour of cohosting a joint White Ribbon event in Parliament House for 50 White Ribbon Ambassadors. Local member for Goyder, Steven Griffiths was in attendance, as were members from all political stripes, united behind this vitally important cause. The State Budget was also handed down recently, with the Weatherill Labor Government promising a “jobs budget”, but instead delivering one littered with new taxes, higher charges and fewer jobs. Sadly, the Government’s own budget papers state that over the next 12 months, South Australia’s job growth will be the lowest in the nation – only half that of Victoria. Of particular note was the Government’s planned “Bank tax”, which the Liberal Party recently announced it would block in Parliament. The tax is a desperate cash grab that would be devastating for South Australia’s already struggling economy. Many industry groups and small to medium businesses – including restaurants, farmers, real estate agents, winemakers and other family businesses – have slammed the tax, saying that it would harm business investment and threaten jobs. What’s worse, the Weatherill Labor Government completely neglects our regions in this budget – the providers of most of our state’s exports and a crucial driver of our GDP. These areas need urgent support and investment, not platitudes and empty promises.
THEY say it takes a village to raise a child and that’s exactly what was felt when Two Wells local, Bernie Pellizzari celebrated her 50th birthday last month. Bernie was born with special needs and her parents, Maria and Denis, were told she might not live past the age of five. Fast-forward a few decades and Bernie has proved everyone wrong, and captured more than a few hearts along the journey too. She has a special place in the community of Two Wells and has become a bit of an icon in the process. Bernie went to kindy in Two Wells before going to special school in Elizabeth and then later Gepps Cross special school. She has grown up around the community and is well known, especially for her penchant for sitting out the front of her home and waving to the cars going by. With her good memory, and desire to know your name it is usually stored in her memory and she can remember nearly everyone she meets. The town has embraced Bernie, often looking out for her. Before her Nona passed, Bernie was allowed to walk from home to Nona’s house and back again. This was a safe trip not having to cross any roads. It also gave Bernie the option of calling in on every house between home and her destination for a drink of cordial and a couple of biscuits. No-one really thought too much about it until the collective realised it was a good packet or two trip! This was all before she be-
By Bec O’Brien & local friends came diabetic and Maria sent the word out – no more biscuits!! Bernie was forever by Denis’s side at the footy, for Crows as well as her beloved Two Wells games. Her family has involved her in all aspects of community life – she even participated in one of the Melodrama plays one year! Bernie’s sister Andrea recalls a night in town once where she got talking to a new acquaintance. He asked where she came from and she said Two Wells – ah he said, I know someone from Two Wells – her name is Bernie! Bernie is living a full life and has had her fair share of adventures, travels and experiences. She has been on many camping trips – to Birdsville and all over Australia with her parents, and cruised the Isle of Pines and Noumea in 2012. They have been instrumental in making sure Bernie never missed out despite her disability. Bernie used to visit many of her neighbours homes when a new baby was born and it is a testament to the “village” that she is now cuddling their babies. Her love for her community, and of the community’s for her, was no more evident than at her 50th birthday celebration, where people came from far and wide to celebrate, with a fun luncheon held at the local football clubrooms. The Pellizzari family would like to thank everyone who attended, gave gifts and donated to EBL Disabilities Services. Congratulations Bernie. Keep on smiling and waving!

Simmonds gets his science on
Belinda Cay reports: Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI), Natural Resource Management Water Testing, South Australian Aquatic Sciences, the University of Adelaide and the Waite Institute, Flinders University and the University of South Australia. “Students meet and engage with leading scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians and learn about their research and careers,” Dr Pearce said. “We work to stimulate students’ interest in the study of science, technology, engineering and mathematics in high school and expand their understanding of employment opportunities in STEM-related industries”. TWPS student, Tyler, said he chose to spend his school holidays at the STEM Explorer camp to learn about STEM in industry. “I am really interested in astronomy and science and so I thought it could be really fun,” he said. “On the camp they showed us all types of science, engineering, technology and maths activities and jobs we can do. “This has made me want to get into STEM.
“I would like to study the science of space”. NYSF STEM Explorer Ambassador Professor Tanya Monro says that programs like the STEM Explorer are needed nationally as there’s an identified need for more STEM graduates. “The program also gives kids a chance to taste science outside the classroom and give them a personal experience of how exciting it can be,” Professor Monro explained. “Employment in STEM is predicted to increase. “We need to ensure we have the capacity to fill these roles and be at the forefront of innovation.” The program, which is being piloted over the next three years is also the first phase of the Department for Education and Child Development’s (DECD) STEM Ambassadors project. The STEM Ambassadors program aims to facilitate students offering views, ideas and specific feedback on what effective STEM learning and teaching looks like, and use this to inform DECD’s STEM strategy. Both programs are supported by funding from the National Innovation and Science Agenda (NISA) and Department for Education and Child Development (DECD).

Last month, over 80 South Australia students ‘got their science on’ and participated in the inaugural National Youth Science Forum (NYSF) STEM Explorers program, held in Adelaide. Two Wells Primary School student, Tyler Simmonds, was amongst those Year 7 and 8 students who were invited to participate in the new program, which includes a week long camp focussed on exploring careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). NYSF’s CEO, Dr Damien Pearce, said student ambassadors from 40 South Australian schools were selected and that participation provided students with the opportunity to explore STEM outside of the classroom. “The NYSF have been holding science camps for senior secondary school students for over 35 years,” Dr Pearce said. “These camps inspire and engage students, so we have taken our successful model and developed the new STEM Explorer program, which is specifically for Year 7 and 8 students. The STEM Explorer program took students on an interactive adventure through South Australian educational institutions and organisations such as the new South

FLAG waves goodbye FAMILIES Learning and Growing (FLAG) has wound up after 14 years of fun, laughter, learning and growing with families in the district. Coordinators Tanya Wilson and Narelle Copley said dwindling numbers meant the group’s weekly Friday catch-ups were becoming unviable. The team would like to thank all current and past members, volunteers and other community services for their support and friendship over the past decade and a bit. “We have been able to make great long lasting friendships and memories, which we treasure, always,” the pair said. “We would especially like to thank the Two Wells Uniting Church for its support, the venue and so much more, without it FLAG wouldn’t have existed.” The Longest Table These days it seems as if the scourge that is cancer no longer touches just a minority. Almost all of us know someone - a friend, relative, family member, colleague - who has had their own personal battle. On Sunday, July 23, the Pellizzari family of Two Wells did their bit to help raise funds for cancer research following their son’s own cancer scare in 2015. Thankfully Jonathon’s malignant parotid tumour was successfully removed through extensive neck surgery and he has been cancer-free for the past two years. The family staged a Longest Table event at their home and raised an impressive $2500 for cancer research. About 60-70 people attended and shared in a delicious array of pastas, salads and homemade sweets. A big thumbs up to the Pellizzari family and to all who donated, cooked, cleaned-up and helped in any way. You are all awesome! 70th birthday for Ian A big happy birthday to Two Wells icon, Ian Gameau, who celebrated 70 years young last month. Ian was joined by his family at Apex Park, West Beach, for a picnic lunch on a glorious Sunday afternoon. Ian has been married to Helen for 40 plus years and together have three children, Amanda, Matthew and Andy, and four granddaughters. Ian is pictured (below) with his grandchildren, from left, Gemma, Lily, Corby and Lucy.

What the builders can’t build into a retirement estate When looking around for a retirement community in which to spend the freedom years of your life, it pays to look beyond the bricks and mortar. There is one very special factor that makes every estate unique and that is the people there. A retirement estate in many ways is a team thing with everyone contributing to the character of the estate. That’s not to say you have to do everything together and have no time for yourselves. Far from it but it’s that friendly face, the “wanna cuppa?”, the safe environment for your dog and the kind of get togethers everyone enjoys that define the estate. Take Angle Vale Gardens for example. All the essentials are there that the Gannon Group has learned from long experience need to be there. But Angle Vale Gardens now has something very special that nobody can build in. A sensational community of likeminded people who respect each other, love to share a laugh, value their privacy and that of others and generally set the vibe for the estate. They’re immensely proud of their community and openly
welcome and show newcomers the ropes. It’s a good idea to take time before buying your new home to understand the community and people within it because they may become some of your new besties in the years to come. As the Gannon people say about Angle Vale Gardens, it’s the people that make it perfect.
There is a great sense of community at Angle Vale Gardens.
Ageing In Style Expo at Two Wells Are you or a loved one entering that phase of your life where a little bit of support may be needed to live comfortably in your own home? Do you need some advice on what’s out there to help and how to access it? Well, the 2017 Ageing in Style Expo will be held at the Two Wells Community Centre on Thursday 17 August from 10:00am1:00pm and a myriad of organisations and service providers will showcase their goods and services. Organised by the Adelaide Plains
Council through the Seniors Collaborative Action Project (SCAP), the group is made up of community service representatives from the Gawler, Light, Barossa and Adelaide Plains Councils with the aim to provide information to enhance independence and enrich quality of life for people as they get older. The EXPO provides access to information about products, services and support for people to maintain the lifestyle that suits their needs. It is an opportunity to find what is
available locally and to be informed about opportunities available to maintain independence and wellbeing. Many people would prefer to remain independent in their own home, close to loved ones and connected to their community. Most of us don’t want to think about needing support when we get older, but it’s important to know what your options are. Ageing well is about being prepared, having choice and flexibility. There have been a number of changes
to the aged care system in the past few years. The introduction of My Aged Care in 2015 has become the one stop shop for aged care services and information in Australia. By knowing about the services available, people can obtain the outcome that suits their needs – after all, aged care should be directed by the person who knows you best – you. The EXPO is designed to help you find the support to meet your needs, remain
independent and enjoy your life. This years EXPO will include: home support and home care services, transport options, residential aged care facilities, arts and crafts, recreation activities, hearing and sight support, assistive technology and mobility equipment, aged rights advocacy services and Seniors Information Services to name a few. A free Devonshire Tea will be available on the day. For more information contact APC community development officer, Lynette Seccafien on 8527 0200.

The Language of Flowers
Two Wells, Lewiston & Districts Landcare Group
Each month the Two Wells Book Club will bring you a review of the book that has 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 though to pick up and read. This month’s book is ‘The Language of Flowers’ by Vanessa Diffenbaugh. This debut novel from Vanessa Diffenbaugh has been well-received and is often found on the list of many book clubs. The story directly reflects the title, the main character Victoria, comes to understand the symbolism of flowers and how they can be used to communicate a sentiment. Victoria endured a miserable childhood in and out of foster homes, some cruel and some indifferent. One foster parent is able to accept the damaged Victoria with patience, love and stability, and it is during this placement that she learns the intricate language of flowers; honeysuckle for devotion, asters for patience, and red roses for love. Her ability to understand and communicate this language is what sustains her throughout her tumultuous life, a gift of living that her foster parent bestowed upon her, when all she knew was how to destroy her relationships and circumstance. A sad story to digest, yet the hope interlaced throughout by the use of beautiful floral imagery, helps the reader to continue in the anticipation of a happy ending for Victoria. The author herself is a foster parent, and has drawn inspiration for this novel from her own experiences with foster children. Diffenbaugh is also the founder of the Camellia Network, a nonprofit organisation intended to create a nationwide movement to support youth transitioning from foster care. Book club members loved this story, however, the subject matter did, at times, become heavy and confronting. The imagery of bouquets, flower markets and gardens, a refreshing source of light and optimism for the damaged main character. If you love your garden and all things flora, you may find yourself learning about the traditional meanings of different species of plants, as well as develop an appreciation of those who have lived a less fortunate life than your own. Next month’s book is ‘All That I Am’, by Anna Funder.

Kelly O’Riley and Dorothy Lewtas at the Angle Vale Pre-School with their donation of 3 balance bikes.
The Angle Vale Lions conducted an official handover of presidency on July 26 at the Gawler Arms hotel. There were many special guests for the evening, including member for Napier, Jon Gee, and the District and Vice-District Governor of the Lions organisation. Outgoing president Dorothy Lewtas, who was the main driving force behind the formation of the club in 2013, passed on her badge to 23 year-old Nicholas (Nick) Charles. Nick has been a member of the Angle Vale Lions since it was chartered in 2014 and is looking to draw more young people to the club. Formerly holding the position of secretary, Nick and Dorothy have
happen,” she said of the forming of the Angle Vale Lions group. However, since being chartered they have raised significant funds for the local community. In the last financial year alone they were able to raise over $20,000 and all of this will be used to provide for certain local projects and groups. Angle Vale Lions recently had the great pleasure in donating three brand new balance bikes to the Angle Vale Pre-School, relishing the smiling faces of the young children. If you are looking for any further information of how you yourself could become involved in the Angle Vale Lions, please head to their facebook page or phone 0416 452 925.
Angle Vale Lions handover Natalie Centenera reports:
now swapped roles. “I’ve been president for three years now, I’m getting a little bit tired,” Dorothy said. “Nick is young and has some fresh ideas.” Dorothy has been involved with the Lions organisation for 17 years. She started out at the Elizabeth Lions, also being a president there from 2003 to 2004, then moved to the Paralowie branch where she held the role of secretary, and then eventually formed the Angle Vale Lions after moving to the area. “A lot of people said it wouldn’t

Short stay accommodation policy update Adelaide Plains Council has again reviewed the Short Stay Accommodation Policy change that caused much angst and confusion to travellers and residents at Port Parham recently. This time however a different approach was taken when drawing the policy. APC’s general manager of infrastructure, Martin Waddington, spoke about the changes at last month’s council meeting. “As members would know we went to public consultation on
I have lived within this community for over 30 years and have seen many changes. Unfortunately discarded rubbish dumped on the sides of our roads is one of them. It only takes one or two shortsighted individuals to spoil it for the rest of us who live within our region. I personally am disgusted by the thought that some people don’t care for anyone except themselves. I believe if we look after our land the land will look after us. Adelaide Plains Council is currently asking ratepayers if a kerbside hard waste pick up service within our region is needed to address this issue. I personally believe this to be an opportunity for all ratepayers to get involved in deciding if we want this kind of service from our council. I have seen some good stuff dumped on the sides of our roads, which could easily be recycled, reducing waste materials going to landfill. That said a friend of mine has suggested that our council employ local unemployed people to collect and recycle materials found. I believe ratepayers should have at least two free trips to our council owned waste depots. This will provide the wider community with a more sustainable option than increasing the workload for our council with extra services. Go online or visit council offices at Two Wells/Mallala and fill out the survey questionnaire and have your say.
Natalie Centenera reports:
the policy and this is primarily due to the fact that when it was last adjusted there was no public consultation associated with that,” Mr Waddington said. “There was a general objection to limited stay time, so we’ve adjusted that in the policy as a recommendation.” The main objection to the previous policy change was enforcing a three-day maximum
stay during peak times and seven days during off-peak times. It was believed by residents that tourists were unhappy and the lack of visitors negatively affected businesses within the area. Councillor Keene highlighted the area was “packed during summer,” and pushed for a lengthier stay for holiday makers. The new policy allows for a maximum stay of up to 14 days to allow for those visitors who enjoy their stay during the busy
summer period. M r Wa d d i n g t o n a l s o e x plained the flexibility provisions built into the policy to allow for extenuating circumstances, for example travellers accessing medical treatment in Adelaide. A fee of $10 per night will be introduced paid via a ticket dispensing machine, similar to a car parking machine, believed to be a cost effective and convenient way to collect payment, with collected funds being used to maintain the area.
n By Sharone Mutch During 2016-2017 Two Wells CFS crews attended 189 calls to support our community. With the odd weather we experienced during this time we saw, fires, floods, car accidents, house fires, structure fires, rubbish fires and many more events. Two Wells brigade ranked number 1 attending the most grass fire events in the whole of South Australia. This brings us to remind people to take advantage of the cooler weather and prepare your properties now for summer. Higher rains and more sun mean higher grasses and undergrowth. So, let’s get organised soon and help support your local CFS by attending to your property ahead of time. Fire season will start mid-November and that means your opportunity to prepare your properties is finished so start today and help us to help you. We have attended many accidents that have required helicopter landings and many ambulance trips to hospital. We urge everyone to take care, especially at intersections and give way points. We would like to draw your attention to the new traffic regulations that vehicles must slow down past emergency vehicles with flashing lights. We attended a nasty accident on the Port Wakefield Highway this year and some impatient person went onto the opposite side of the highway and drove past doing over 100km. If you would like to help support your local community we have daytime positions available so why not pop into the station and enquire today?
Brighten up your garden this winter Are you feeling the woes of winter and need something to brighten up your garden? Two cheery plants for winter are the beautiful orange tree and the Clivea. Both having green glossy leaves and sparking dashes of colour. The orange tree is so pretty at this time of the year with the fruits contrasting well with the leaves. An orange tree is one of the few plants that can be bearing fruit and still flowering at the same time! The smell of an orange tree in flower can be so overpowering and never forgotten. Many a spring bride for well over a hundred years has followed Queen Victoria’s lead and included orange blossom in their bridal bouquet, with a buttonhole

of orange blossom for the groom. Oranges need a warm sunny position out of the wind and prefer a slightly acid soil. If your fruit is sour try adding Epsom Salts (Magnesium sulphate) and Sulphate of Potash to sweeten the fruit, leaving fruit on the tree until fully ripe. AMATEUR Like all GARDENER citrus oranges need a good feed of a citrus or rose fertiliser three or four times a year, making the first application in late August or September. If you notice galls appearing, from the citrus gall wasp, on your citrus- make

sure all galls are removed and placed in the green recycling bin. Orange trees generally need not be pruned and form a pleasing shape. The elegant Clivea plant was named after Lady Charlotte Clivea who inG troduced the G plants to England. Cliveas come in shades from cream to T yellow, or vivid orange. They are easy care plants that enjoy the shade and need to be out of the hot summer afternoon sun. They appreciate a good feed of general fertiliser in the seasons of spring

and summer. Keep the water up to them in the hotter months, but in winter they dislike having wet feet. For maintenance in the garden in August cut back your Shasta Daisies, and thin and divide if they are becoming over crowded – usually every four to five years. Shasta Daisies– Leucanthemum x surperbum, like a soil that is fertile, well drained and enjoy several hours of sunshine a day to be at their best, flowering for many months of the year in summer and spring. The white daisy petals that surround the middle yellow centre are good for attracting bees and butterflies to your garden.

SA Police have launched Operation Subtract, a special operation to attack a rising trend in break-ins across metropolitan areas. State Community Engagement Section and Neighbourhood Watch have designed a bin sticker which will support Operation Subtract as a resource to be provided to residents to encourage the reporting of suspicious behaviour. The sticker is designed to be placed on the side of the council bin so it can be seen by drivers and pedestrians as they travel along the street. Another benefit of these stickers is that they make bins more visible at night when they are sitting on the roadside awaiting collection, particularly in areas without streetlights. If you would like a free bin sticker please call in to the Two Wells Craft Shop or the Two Well Police Station (phone ahead on 8520 2309). Bicycle security is an important issue, and SAPOL wish to remind residents how to keep their bike safe.

Maria Aunger reports:
Bikes are a popular mode of transport and owners should consider ways to secure their bike when it is not in use. SAPOL has developed a ‘Bike Passport’ for you to record details of your bike that will assist in identifying and returning it to you, if it is stolen. To reduce your chances of becoming a victim of bike theft, please consider the following crime prevention security tips: – Engrave or mark your bike frame (near the serial number) with an ultraviolet (UV) pen, microdot or by other permanent means with your driver’s licence number prefixed by the letter ‘S’ for South Australia, e.g. S123456. – Mark all your accessories, including helmet, lights, pump, saddle, etc. – Take a photograph of your bike. – Complete the Bike Passport and keep it in a safe place. – Purchase and fit a good quality bike lock. Your bike dealer may be able to assist you in choosing a lock. – Always park and secure your bike in welllit and populated areas. – Always lock the bike frame and both wheels to a secure object. – When securing your bike, remove equipment including helmet, lights, pump, etc. – Never leave your bike unattended and un-

Our Connor shares in state glory YOUNG rising rugby union player, Connor Moore, has just returned from a tournament on the Gold Coast where he helped the state Under 18 Schoolboys Division 2 side take home the silverware. Sixteen-year-old Connor, of Two Wells, currently plays in the Under 18 team for the Barossa Rams and dreams of one day playing for a team in the Australian competition. The eight-day tournament saw teams from around the country as well as New Zealand take part, with Connor saying the competition was fierce. “It was very challenging, especially playing the New Zealand teams because they are bred pretty much into rugby,” he said. “They’ve been playing a lot longer than I have, they’re more experienced and faster that us, but I was able to match them in the scrums, which was good.”
One of the youngest on the team, Connor has previously been selected in the Under 15 and Under 16 state teams and trains up to five nights a week. He 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. 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. 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. “I always get better after state competitions because it gives me more perspective on what I have to work on,” he said.

Two Wells Bowls Club Report
Gearing up for bowls season PREPARATIONS for the 2017-18 bowling season are underway. The club has entered two teams in the Wednesday (Men’s) competition, three teams in the Saturday (Open Gender) competition and one team in the Thursday (Ladies) competition. Pennant matches commence in the first week of October. We are always on the lookout for people wanting to play bowls, whether you have never played, only played night bowls or are an experienced bowler, all are welcome to come and join our club. The club can provide you with bowls to get started and also a club shirt if you want to play in one of the teams. If you are interested contact Irene Giannikos on 0417 810 029 to find out more. If the weather is kind to our greenkeeper, Ben Smith, the greens will (hopefully) be ready for practise in late August with trial games in September. In the winter months, Wayne Stauwer has the clubhouse open on Thursday afternoons from 2pm-5.30pm. Members and non-members are welcome to drop in for a drink, a coffee or a hot chocolate to be enjoyed with a snack organised by Beverley Thomas. The club’s winter roast dinner and quiz night was held recently and was well attended. Sue Holland’s bread and pudding was especially thoroughly enjoyed. By TWBC secretary Irene Giannikos

TWO Wells Football Club A Grade finds itself sitting second on the APFL premiership ladder after 12 of 16 rounds (as of July 28). We have eight wins, one draw and three losses on the board, which puts us on the cusp of qualifying for finals. There have been some very pleasing wins considering the injury list, which at times extended to six first-choice A graders. Long-term injuries to Dylan Wise, Bradley Calvett and Harry Gameau had been concerns, however the players that have stepped into the void such as Stephen Lange, Peter Seccafien and Ben Stubing have been fantastic. It has also facilitated the A grade debut of Luke Barnett in the game against Angle Vale, kicking four goals at the age of just 15 – a great first game with a fantastic senior football future ahead. The ramification of these injuries impacted significantly on the “B” grade squad, often resulting in three or four senior colts required to fill gaps in the team. This see the B’s with a 4:8 win:loss ratio after 12 games and requiring them to win all four of their remaining games to make the finals. Fortunately the timely return from Canada of Jacob Hart and the Franklin brothers Lachy and Cam has lessened the impact on the team as it keeps the finals hopes alive. Some really good performances during the year have been seen from Aaron Dart, Ben Spiteri, Ned Seccafien, Tallan Leighton and Shannon Slattery, who have consistently found themselves in the best players and helped place us in a good position heading into the finals. We look forward with confidence going into our last four fixtures against Long Plains, Hamley Bridge, Virginia and Angle Vale as a good springboard into the finals series and hope to have a real impact come September. By A Grade coach, Neville “Cheeky” Seccafien

The Australian Team in Canada.
SA representative, Lucy Blenkiron (right) of Springton and Tasmanian representative, Georgia Elias, after the competition.
Pony pursuit takes Lucy to Canada BAROSSA Valley Pony Club rider, Lucy Blenkiron of Springton, has just returned from Canada after competing on the Australian Pony Club Team in the International Mounted Games Exchange, where she was the only South Australian representative. But Lucy couldn’t have got there without the support of many local businesses, friends, family and community groups, including the Two Wells Equestrian and Pony Club, who hosted a mounted games clinic in April on her behalf. TWE&PC club president, Pentti Puro, said he was very happy to see one of the
riders in the club’s zone (Lower North Zone) represent Australia at the mounted games exchange. “Pony Club has so much to offer young riders,” Pentti said. “Lucy is 14-years-old and has had a trip of a lifetime while representing her country and the association. “It was a pleasure to host the mounted games clinic on behalf of our zone to help Lucy achieve her goal.” Lucy started competing in mounted games events three years ago and has represented Barossa Pony Club, the Lower North Zone and South Australia
at a number of competitions. “Representing Australia has always been a long time goal of mine and the four weeks spent at the Australian team training camp and in Canada have been spectacular,” she said. “A trip highlight was riding against some of the world’s best under 16 games riders. “The competition was between riders from Canada, Great Britain, USA and Australia. “In the end we had an extremely close competition, finishing second by two points to Great Britain, who are the
Lucy in action during the competition. biggest mounted games country in the world.” Pony Club Canada hosted a tour for the international riders that included hiking up Grouse Grind, watching the world cup showjumping at Thunderbird Show Park in the VIP area, zip lining and white water rafting at Whistler and attending Canada’s 150th anniversary celebrations.
“The tour has allowed me to make international friendships and connections to one day pursue,” Lucy said. “For now I am planning to continue mounted games and hopefully start riding more overseas. “I look forward to being able to give back to mounted games in our club and the Lower North Zone.”

rugby teams both took part in the Regional Championships last month and competed in the State Rugby League Finals held at West Beach on Tuesday July 4. The boys came runner up in the trophy division, while the girls’ team, despite getting a lastminute call-up, was the plate division runners up. Congratulations also to Emilee and Cameron who competed in the SAPSASA State Hockey Car-

IT seems there are more than a few bright sparks around the district following Two Wells Football and Netball Sporting Club’s recent trivia night, with a sudden death “quiz off” between more than two teams battling it out for top honours. The event on Saturday July 1 attracted 16 teams, with quizmaster Rob Polito, and sidekicks Jayne Polito, and Kylie and Jonathon Pellizzari, running proceedings with humour and style. The club was filled and there was a great atmosphere, with even one table of junior club members enjoying the night and having a go at the questions. After eight rounds there was a tie for first and second, as well as third and fourth, so a sudden death “quiz off” was called. Each team selected one member to represent them in the final round, but even then another question had to be presented as all teams correctly answered the first. In the end it was team Vandalay Industries who took home the quiz crown. Coming up on the club’s social calendar is a Junior Disco on August 5 and a Miss Two Wells event on August 19. Head to the club’s Facebook page for more details.

Past grand final teams reunite TWO Wells Football and Netball Sporting Club is holding a reunion of its 1975,76,77 and 1987 grand final teams this month. The event is on Saturday, August 19 from 2pm with old photos, memorabilia and newspaper clippings on show. The club is hoping to attract as many past premiership players, trainers, coaches and supporters as possible and will feature a number of key speakers throughout the afternoon. Drinks and nibbles will be available. For more information, keep an eye on the club’s Facebook page or contact Kate Lange on 0400 991 719.
The grand finals in review….
Compiled by Michael Slattery Two Wells decided it would separate from Virginia for the 1975 season after 15 years as a combined side in the Gawler and District Football League. It was a big decision after having only had one year as an A grade side in the competition as the combined side and only winning a few games. A keen North Adelaide supporter, local tavern owner and club president, Norm Najar (who the club’s A grade Best and Fairest medal is named after) managed to recruit Maurie Francou as captain-coach from SANFL side North Adelaide. Maurie is the father of Josh Francou who also played for North Adelaide and Port Power. Maurie brought his brother Ken and a couple of other ex-North Adelaide players with him and was able to combine them with locals to produce a fast moving, hard
tackling, handball type game style to the competition that saw the Roosters as the standout side for the next three years, losing just two games. Sitting at the top of the ladder undefeated at the end of the minor rounds, the Roosters were favourites and easily accounted for Lyndoch, dishing out a 126-point thrashing in the second semi with scores of 24-26 to 6-8 to advance straight into the grand final. The grand final saw a record crowd of 1500 turn up at the Gawler oval for the spectacle. Gawler South had the upper hand at quarter time, before the Roosters gathered momentum to control the game and take out a 69 point win. Paper headlines included, “ A record crowd attended Gawler oval last Saturday to watch Two Wells give South Gawler a football lesson in the second half to easily take out the 1975 premiership by 69 points”. Two Wells 2-5 7-10 12-13 17-17 South Gawler 3-3 4-9 5-13 6-14 Goals Two Wells J May 4, C Pethick 4, C Taylor 2, M Lamont 2, R Prior, C Altman, G Norton, R Payne Best C Pethick, G Norton, W Prior, D Sharpe, R Prior, R Zadow. Ray Prior is father of Two Wells netballers Michelle Dimasi and Leah Clifton. ……………………………………… 1976 saw the Roosters once again as a formidable force suffering just one loss in the minor rounds to finish top. In the last minor round game, key forward Brent Farquhar slotted 11 goals to win the competition’s leading goal kicker award with a tally of 79, while Ken Francou was third in the mail medal count.
The 1976 club B&F was Ken Francou with runner up Terry Collins while up and coming senior colts B&F was Petros Markou who also took out the senior colts mail medal. In the second semi Two Wells charged through to the GF with a comprehensive 91 point victory over Gawler South with scores of 25-19 to 12-6. The following week saw a draw between Willaston and South resulting in a replay the following week, delaying the grand final by a week. The 1976 GF was interesting, with Two Wells’ inaccuracy keeping Willaston in the game. Willaston led by eight points at the first break before Two Wells gained the upper hand. The last quarter saw Willaston kick six goals straight to get within 14 points before a controversial free in front of goals to Two Wells resulted in a goal that broke its momentum. Key points of the game were ruckman Geoff Norton kicking seven goals, senior colt Petros Marcou’s skilful roving and four goals, great spoiling by Dave Sharpe in the backlines and Des Collins’ excellent work at centre half back. Two Wells 1-5 7-12 14-16 18-20 Willaston 3-1 4-1 8-1 14-3 Goals Two Wells: G Norton 7, P Markou 4, J Payne2, C Pethick 2, C Markou, G Taylor, T Collins. Best D Collins, K Francou, G Norton, C Markou, D Pethick, P Markou. ……………………………………… The Roosters continued on in 1977 to again finish top with just one loss. The Reserves also had a good season finishing second but went out in
straight sets. The club’s B&F for 1977 was Terry Collins with Geoff Norton runner up, while John Payne was the runner up to the league mail medallist. Two Wells again advanced straight through to the grand final defeating Centrals 10-13 to 5-10 in the second semi. The 1977 grand final saw an even tussle up to half time before Centrals wasted its opportunities in the third quarter to see the Roosters gain a 22 point lead. The final term saw the Roosters’ experience, pressure and strength come into play as more players got on top of their opponents and Centrals again wasted opportunities in front of goal, so much so Two Wells came away with a three-goal win. The victory saw Maurie Francou announce his retirement. Maurie was also given an eight-game suspension following a report on two occasions by the boundary umpire for striking. Two Wells 2-1 5-6 9-10 12-12 Centrals 1-5 4-7 5-12 8-18 Goal kickers Two Wells: C Pethick 3, G Taylor 3, L Prior, G Meredith, G Launer, W Prior, G Norton, K Francou. Best T Collins, C Pethick G Norton, J Lounnou, J Brown, K Francou Clayton Pethick along with his colourful wife Eirene are still keen supporters of the club attending most A grade games. ……………………………………… The year 1987 saw captain-coach, Stuart Jolly, guide the Roosters to a very successful return to the APFL after a period in the Gawler and District Football League. On a day with a strong wind favouring the northern end and rain in the second half, Two Wells had a hard-fought battle with Mallala before running out 23 point
victors. Two Wells started with the breeze but kicked inaccurately, before bottling the game up in the second and kicking two goals to gain an 11-point lead. Accurate kicking of 3-1 in the third with the wind saw the margin increase. Early in the last quarter the Pies got to within 15 points before Two Wells goaled again in the slippery, windy conditions to run out victors. Headlines from the Plains Producer read: “Roosters Rule in 1987”, “Roosters show class”, “In the match dubbed the ‘Battle of the Birds’, Two Wells Roosters clawed away at the Mallala Magpies all day and were deserving winners of the 1987 APFL flag”. Two Wells 3-7 5-7 8-8 9-11 Mallala 1-2 4-2 5-4 6-6 Two Wells goal kickers were S Bogas 2, R Kermeen, P Manual, P Readett, P Lamont R Wendland, M Kotsano G Davies. BOG was David Gameau while others whose performances were mentioned were Jolly, Marcou, Davies, Wendland and Briscoe. Points of interest: Current A-grade coach, Cheeky Seccafien (rover) and assistant Alan Briscoe (back pocket) were part of this victorious line up. Best on ground ruckman, Dave Gameau, is the father of current gun Agrade ruckman Harry Gameau. Player, Grant Taylor, had longevity, also being part of the 75, 76 and 77 flags and is also the uncle of Harry Gameau. Petros Markou, uncle of current A-grade speedster Theo Markou, also played in the 76 and 77 flags. P Lamont is also the father of Reserves twins Cameron and Drew Lamont.

Come and try natural horsemanship THIS event was held in June with two classes, limited to six attendees per class, throughout the day. Carley Robery from Shellgrit Stables Natural Horsemanship was our host and instructor on the day and is a valued member of APEC. Carley has been riding since she could walk and is a Level 3 Parelli student. Instruction included lots of ground work as Carley showed attendees the importance of working with your horse on the ground to develop a partnership that you can carry on to your ridden work. There were lots of obstacles with the idea that your partnership be so strong with your horse that you can work from the end of the lead rope having your horse move around the obstacles with no pushing or pulling. Everyone went home with some great

ideas and lots to practise. A big thank you Carley for hosting and instructing this event. Thanks also goes to Sam Dragon who supplied everyone with a big pot of warm pumpkin soup which was wonderful on the cold winter day. 80s Bingo night The club held a non-horsey event in July, with a fun 80s-themed bingo evening. Everyone got into the spirit of the night and dressed in their best 80s fashion. The hairstyles and colour were a treat and much laughter was had by all. There was even a fashion parade! The club’s next event is a dressage clinic on Sunday August 27, more details can be found on the website or facebook page. By APEC secretary, Mel Boyce

July 1: President’s trophy, round 3. Despite the small field of 14 on Saturday, conditions on the course were again excellent. Golf is at times a funny game with form reversal often commented on by the players the following week. This weekend was no exception as last week I shot 100 off the stick, winning the NAGA and being stirred up by the vice-captain for my consistency in the past weeks winning it so often. On Saturday I shot 83 off the stick 40 points to win A grade narrowly from Adam Bail, who also had a form reversal with 87 and 38 points. Bobby Hogg took the minor third placing with 88 and 34 points. Hans Linford looked very relaxed and despite a flounder on a couple of holes on the back nine, carded a well deserved 82 off the stick and 44 points (his best round at TWGC) to narrowly beat James Weir on 37 points, with Tim Clifton third with 35 points. Checking through the cards, I found there had been an error with the NAGA, which I have now corrected and will enjoy the correct presentation next Saturday to ‘repay the favour’ to Gary Payne. Next week’s third round of the club championships will prove interesting with the following players in the same group – A Grade - Andrew Baker, Arthur Christou and Gary Payne. Bobby Hogg and John Ball are lurking should there be a significant demise in the leaders group.B Grade - Ian Gameau, Ian Clark, and Steve Kelly. JimWeir and Hans Linford look to be possible threats to challenge these guys based on this weekend’s form. Results: A Grade – P.Shields 40,A.Bail 38, R. Hogg 34A. Baker 30, J. Ball 26 and G. Payne 19pts. B. Grade – H. Linford 44, J. Weir 37, T. Clifton 35, R. Prior 34, I. Smith 30, J. Spackman 28, J. Mills 28 and D. Smith 22pts. ................................................................ July 15: Club championships, round 4. The fourth round of the 2017 club championships was played with 14 men and one lady playing. The top three scores in both A and B grades played together, which proved to be an interesting day with A grade leader, Andrew Baker, holding a five-shot lead overall, and B grade leader, Steve Kelly, holding a narrow three-shot lead over his next contender. MIA was Rabbit, who was in contention for A grade however had family commitments on Saturday. Conditions on the day were good with the recent rains making the course looking great. The scrapes held up, as usual, and fluffed up well when they were raked. The July Monthly Medal, also played on the day, was won by veteran Ian Clark with net 64 to take the medal from the club house leader, Adam Bail net 66.
Congratulations to Ian for a fine round, also winning B Grade from good mate Jeoff Spackman on nett 67, and Ian Gameau third with nett 70. A grade was won by Adam Bail with nett 66, closely pursued by Steve Kelly making another entrance to A Grade,due to his recent form, with 69 nett and Gary Payne third with 71 nett. A grade contenders Andrew Baker, Garry Payne and Robert Hogg, played together set up a good contest which, looking at the cards, proved to show the nerves were evident – especially with some missed putts and errant golf shots. Andrew’s five-shot lead whittled down and at the end of the day Andrew and Gary finished the four rounds with 339 each. B grade contenders, Steve Kelly, Jim Weir and Ian Clark also played together and again, nerves were evident. Steve’s narrow lead of three shots from Jim and four shots from Ian also tested, with the elder statesman of the group quietly going about his business shooting 38 on the front to gain two shots on Steve, and continued to show form on the back nine despite a slight hiccup on the 13th and 16th holes to finish with 47. Both Ian and Steve finished the four rounds with 361. With both grades equal, they will all play together in the same group on August 19, which is the next stroke round, to determine the grade winners. Congratulations to all and the best of luck in the final round. The A grade nett scores over the four rounds were: Gary Payne 269, Andrew Baker 275, Bobby Hogg 281 and Paul Shields 311. B Grade net scores over the 4 rounds were, Jim Weir 278, Steve Kelly 278, Ian Clark 278, Ray Prior 295 and Hans Linford 297. The 2017 putting champion over the four championship rounds is Gary Payne with 102 putts, with Andrew second on 103 putts. All the best to Jeoff Spackman, who is off to have knee surgery in the next week. We wish him a speedy recovery. Results: A Grade – A. Bail 66, S. Kelly 69, G. Payne 71, R. Hogg 72, P. Shields 73 and A. Baker 80. B Grade – I. Clark 64, J. Spackman 67, I. Gameau 70, J. Weir 71, R. Prior 73, T. Clifton 75, H. Linford 79and D. Smith 87. ……………………………………… July 22: Two man ambrose. Sunny,windyconditionsfacedplayers in a two-man ambrose. I was able to watch the groups come down the 18th and saw some quality shots off the tee block and then onto the scrape. Shot of the hole must go to Hans Linford who chipped in from about 15 feet of the right side of the scrape much to the pleasure of playing partner Rabbit. Early attempts with bribery were quicklydismissedwhenIwasapproached
to “adjust” handicaps for one team. It is fair to say the winners of the day, with six birdies, was a very solid team to actually beat. Andrew Baker and Ian Clark,who of course guided the“Resident Sasquatch”, taming him and challenging him to unleash his long hitting drives to gain valuable distance for Ian to finish off the hole for them. No other team on the day actually came close on the day. In recent weeks, there have been some good scores in the low to mid-80s, which I suspect was due to my severe talking to the members to prepare and be ready for the upcoming Interclub Challenge against Hamley Bridge. Hamley won the last game on their home course and as I mentioned on the day I expected more from the Two Wells members. I think I was also told to lift my game as well on the day with a low 30s score. I have recruited Denis Hart out of semi-retirement to play on the day now he has a serviceable buggy, and will also tempt Russell Grigg to join us for a pre open day hit, challenge on. With the new scrapes on the course and the efforts of Gary Payne the course is looking great. Results: A.Baker & I.Clark 60 ¾,R.Prior & T. Clifton 63 ½, H. Linford & A. Christou 63 ½ , J. Weir & S. Kelly 63 ½ , A. Bail & J. Ball 63 ¾ , G. Payne & A. Baker 69, R. Hogg & D. Hart 70, D. Thompson & C. Barker 71 ½ . ……………………………………… July 29 Despite the possibility of rain, players from Two Wells and Hamley Bridge clubs battled possibly the strongest winds see on the course for years. Hamley won the interclub challenge on its home soil earlier in the year but the home club had other ideas. The trophy is calculated on the aggregate of the players in each team, with Hamley finishing with 25.8 and Two Wells with 32.5 to take the trophy back! Players got in before the rain arrived and enjoyed a delicious tea afterward. Results: Two Wells - A Grade: R. Hogg 37, A. Baker 36, A. Bail 35, A. Paul 34, P. Shields 33, J. Ball 31, I. Clark 30, C. Girling 30 and G. Payne 28. B Grade: T. Clifton 38, H. Linford 35, I Smith 35, M. Turvey 35, I. Gameau 34, R. Prior 27 and J. Weir 26. Ladies: L. Brooks 33, G. Bowden 33 and K. Stubing 32. Hamley Bridge - W. Van Pelt 37, C. Doudle 36, R. Cameron 32, R. Hinderwell 31, G. Dahlitz 30, A. Humpries 29,W.White 28, B. Zerna 26, J. Treloar 23, K. Uffelman 22, B. Swartz 21, B. Charman 20, D. Cooper 19, A. Osbourne 17 and D. Nation 16. Next week is a par round and round four of the captain’s trophy. By TWGC captain, Paul Shields

Girls looking the goods for finals Senior Netball Report AS finals approach for the senior netballers at Two Wells Football and Netball Sporting Club, the Roosters have three out of five teams sitting in the top four, likely preparing for an exciting finals series. Our A1 girls are sitting neatly in fourth place after drawing with the top team Balaklava in recent weeks. With their new coach Lisa Stirling on board, the girls are excited to see what the coming weeks will hold for them. A big congratulation to Nicole Darling for recently being awarded her umpiring C badge. The Two Wells A2’s have had less success on the courts so far this season and are sitting uncomfortably in fifth place. Having already had wins against two teams above them, it will be disappointing to miss finals this season. It has been exciting to see some of our younger girls and U/17 players getting a run in our top sides. These girls are the future of our club and will hopefully contribute to some strong sides in the future. Stephanie Seccafien’s A3 team have recently discovered their ‘mojo’, beating equal top place Balaklava and will be fighting hard for the rest of the season to move into fourth spot and finals contention. Sitting equal third bar percentage Two Wells’ A4s are looking forward to finals this year. Having recent struggles with injuries has not set them back and they have earnt their spot with good play. Two Wells A5 team are sitting pretty in second place and will be big contenders for finals this year. Coming off a premiership last
year our girls are very keen to prove to the association they’ve still got it. As her A5 team will be preparing for finals, coach Sarah Dinham (and A grade footballer Josh Osbourne) are looking forward to welcoming their first child into the world. Let’s hope Sarah and her daughter are back to see her team take out another GF for the club!
Junior Netball Report BY junior netball coordinator Alicia Stirling Net Set Go has now finished for season 2017; the 10-week program was a great success. A presentation night was held at the club and all the participants received a medallion and certificate, with Jenny Cocks of Northern Trophies kindly donating the medals. Under 10s have showed massive improvement as the season has progressed, which is fantastic to see. 13B’s are sitting fifth on the ladder and are playing well as a team. 13A’s have had a strong season so far with only one loss, they are currently sitting top of the ladder. Well done to Kaitlyn O’Brien who was selected in the Country Champs association team. 15s The girls have grown together as a group under guidance from Rachel and Cheryl and are fighting for a spot to play finals. 17s have played competitively all season, they are currently equal second on the ladder and hoping to challenge both Mallala teams, which are placed top and equal second. Some great netball girls, keep up the effort and enthusiasm as we head into the finals. By senior netball coordinator, Kate Lange

Below: The Allies team at Adelaide airport on their way to the Gold Coast. Angle Vale women footballers selected in the team included Katelyn Rosenzweig (back row, third from the left) and Rachel Dunstan, (front row second from the left).
Owls women in AFL Natalie Centenera reports:
Female football at the Angle Vale Football Club has been enjoying an enormous amount of success of late. Two young players, Katelyn Rosenzweig and Rachel Dunstan, of the Angle Vale Hooters, flew to the Gold Coast, Queensland on the second weekend in July, competing in the 2017 NAB AFL Women’sU18Championships. Both were selected to represent South Australia for the Allies team (which is made up of players from Northern Territory, South Australia and Tasmania) and went through undefeated. Coached by Adelaide
Brittany Perry (left) and Sarah Ellis in front of their 100-game banner.
AFLW mentor Bec Goddard, the Allies won all three of their contests against NSW/ ACT, Western Australia and Queensland. Some big congratulations were also given to two special players who recently played their 100th career games in the women’s open team. Captain Sarah Ellis played her 100th game, Saturday July 1, and vice-captain, Brittany Perry played her 100th game Saturday June 24. Bothladiesstartedplaying back in 2010 when Central Districts Women’s Football Club was created. In 2014 Central Districts Women’s Football club left their ground at Elizabeth Football Club based in Argana
Park and moved to Angle Vale, then becoming known as the Angle Vale Hooters. Both young ladies have had an amazing football career, not only playing local football but also representing South Australia in state competitions, most recently playing in the 2017 SANFL Women’s Football competition playing for North Adelaide. Both Sarah and Brittany have shared many accolades throughout their football careers winning the club’s Best and Fairest,and Runner-Up to each other. Not only are they great footballers but great friends too. Congratulations girls.
