BIRTH CONTROL

Travis is Travis is man of man of momentmoment

FORMER South Gawler Lion cricketer Travis Head, 28, was this week named Player of the Series for the 2021-22 Ashes Tests.

It’s a mighty comeback for the last man picked for the Aussies for the first Test last year.

CHURCH Hill residents will find out next Tuesday if a last-ditch effort to be joined to a planning appeal hearing will be approved as a new application to de-molish two tennis courts in the area has been resubmitted.

On December 22, developer Cameron and Cowan relodged its development ap-plication to tear down the historic courts in Orleana Square.

It came following a backflip of Gawler Council’s Assessment Panel (CAP) in a be-hind-closed-doors meeting last month.

The CAP rejected the proposal in Sep-tember last year but was later granted the green light in an about-face, despite there being no mention of being presented sub-missions on the meeting’s agenda.

Cameron and Cowan is a business name registered to the Trustee for the Peterman Family Trust.

According to the Australian Business Register, the business name was registered in December 2020 and is represented by Justin Fairweather.

Mr Fairweather is export director of Mc-Laren Vale winery Alpha Box and Dice, but Cameron and Cowan is independent of that business.

When contacted by The Bunyip, Mr Fair-weather said there were “no definite plans for Cameron and Cowan to develop the site at this stage” because any development could only be considered if the demolition proceeds.

The land is owned by the Anglican Synod of Adelaide but has been up for sale.

It is understood Cameron and Cowan

will buy the land if development approval is granted.

As previously reported, the courts have been on the subject site for more than 100 years.

The St George’s School, attached to the St George’s Anglican Church directly across the road, was built in 1848 and later demolished in 1891.

Leonard Samuel (L.S.) Burton was twice headmaster of the school, and a plaque commemorating this is on the site.

As per the conditions agreed to by CAP and the developer in secret, this plaque will remain on site while another commemorat-ing the 1953 coronation of the Queen will be moved to a location preferred by the church.

This was discovered when residents sought to be joined to the appeal.

GAWLER’s famous Buny-ip-owning Barnet family will be honoured with a new award at the 2021 Country Press SA Awards next month.

The presentation night will, for the first time, feature the Barnet Award for Best Community Ad-vertising Promotion.

Entries in the category will be judged on the involvement, leadership, initiative and support provided by a country newspaper for any community-based event or activity and relevance to local community; degree of participa-tion and initiative involved; orig-inality and creativity; clarity of message; impact; and measures of success of the promotion.

The Bunyip – one of the state’s

oldest newspapers – was founded in September 1863 by William Barnet, who had established a printing business in Gawler six years earlier.

The idea to attach the Barnet name to the award came from Member for Light Tony Piccolo.

“I decided to sponsor the new award to recognise the significant contribution made by the Barnet family to local newspapers,” Mr Piccolo said.

“I wanted the award to reflect the importance of local media to local communities.

“The actual award title was created by Country Press SA, with the only stipulation I had that Barnet had to be in the title or name of the award.

“As publishers of The Bunyip,

the Barnets played an important role in chronicling the history of the town, as it is used as a source for many researchers.

“When The Bunyip closed for two weeks in 2020 because of the impact of COVID-19 on business advertising, the community was in a state of shock.

“It was then the community understood the integral role The Bunyip can play in civic life in the town.

“The Barnets also made a con-tribution to local regional media through their involvement in Country Press SA.”

The Barnet family played a sig-nificant role in the formation of the Provincial Press Association of South Australia, which later became Country Press SA.

After almost 140 years of Bar-net family ownership, The Bunyip was sold to the Taylor Group of Newspapers in April 2003, when editor, the late John Barnet, and brothers Craig and Paul, handed over the reins.

AUSTRALIA Day celebrations in Gawler will proceed as planned next Wednesday, despite neighbouring Playford Council choosing to “adjust” its event to online only.

Playford made the announcement via its Facebook page last Thursday, attributing the decision to cancel its public ceremo-ny because of a high rate of active cases of COVID-19 in the council area.

Last year, Playford moved its Australia Day celebrations from its traditional home of

Fremont Park to Central District’s home ground, X Convenience Oval, under an ap-proved COVID management plan.

The celebrations were due to be held under the same conditions this year before the plug was pulled.

In the public statement, Playford Council said it made the decision to “help protect our community, volunteers and staff against the spread of COVID-19”.

“The Australia Day celebrations at X Con-venience Oval have been cancelled after carefully reviewing the public health environ-ment,” council said in its post.

“Winners of the 2022 Australia Day Awards will be announced by Mayor Glenn Docherty on our Facebook page at 9.30am on

Wednesday, January 26. “We urge you to celebrate with the win-

ners online as we recognise the outstand-ing achievements of community members, groups and clubs who make Playford a great place to live.”

Council said it was intending to hold a small civic reception for its Australia Day award winners, with two citizenship ceremonies scheduled to take place in private on the day.

Gawler Mayor Karen Redman told The Bunyip council would still proceed with its Australia Day celebrations at Gawler Sport and Community Centre as originally intended.

Council last year repurposed its event with the presentation of its Australia Day award winners and citizenship ceremony taking place at the Sport and Community Centre, in-stead of its usual home at Apex Park.

But the ceremonies were live-streamed at three pubs in town – the Kingsford Hotel, The Exchange and the PA – with a free breakfast cooked by local service groups and volunteers.

This year, council has again partnered with the Apex Club of Gawler, but the free com-munity breakfast will be held at Princes Park.

“…the official awards and citizenship cer-emonies are being conducted by invitation only in a COVID-safe manner within the Gawler Sport and Community Centre,” Ms Redman said.

“The official proceedings will be live-streamed to a large truck-mounted outdoor screen on Princes Park, enabling the com-munity to see the ceremonies in real time whilst enjoying the free breakfast provided by Gawler’s service clubs in a controlled, phys-ically-distanced, COVID-safe manner with-

in the large outdoor space.” Light Regional Council has already announced changes to its Australia Day proceedings, choosing to hold a closed event at Hewett, with a live stream to be broadcast via council’s website.

Adelaide Plains Council this month an-nounced its celebrations would take place at Two Wells Community Centre in accordance with SA Health guidelines.

However, a council spokesperson told The Bunyip last week that it was still working through details to best ensure community safety.

BAROSSA Council will now hold an on-line celebration of Australia Day instead of a public breakfast at Tanunda in re-sponse to COVID-19.

Mayor Bim Lange said while the cancel-lation of the annual breakfast event at Ta-nunda Show Hall on Wednesday, January 26 was regrettable, the decision was made in the interests of public safety.

“We know COVID-19 is a constantly evolving situation and the wellbeing of our community was always going to be at the fore-front of our decision-making,” Mr Lange said.

“While we won’t be celebrating face to face in 2022, we can still acknowledge and

recognise the wonderful contribution of our Citizen of the Year award winners and new Australian citizens in a COVID-safe pre-sentation online.

“We thank the community for their under-standing in these challenging times and wish everyone a safe and happy Australia Day.”

Council will hold small invite-only events to recognise award winners and new citizens, and will provide public access through online services, with further details to follow.

Council will also explore further opportu-nities for a public ceremony later in the year.

A DEDICATED COVID-19 ward will be established at the Lyell McEwin Hos-pital as the State Government battles the Omicron variant.

Premier Steven Marshall announced last Wednesday the Elizabeth Vale hospital would provide care for COVID-positive patients alongside the Flinders Medical Centre.

It was a “pivot” from the government’s original hospital plan where the majority of patients would be treated at the Royal Ade-laide Hospital (RAH).

Mr Marshall said the move was made because Omicron had “changed the game”.

“…the severity of cases is lower but higher transmissibility means that there are more cases,” he said.

“Just as we adapted our strategy for Del-ta, we are adapting our response to Omi-cron to ensure we once again rise to the challenges of the worldwide pandemic.

“This updated hospital plan meets the projected hospital requirements at the peak.

“I am very grateful to all the dedicated hospital and ambulance staff for their in-credible efforts to keep South Australia safe as we tackle the new Omicron variant.”

The updated plan will involve patients being transferred from public to private hospitals in a bid to free up beds on the dedicated wards.

It will also provide intensive care capaci-ty for up to 60 patients.

About 500 beds will be created in the wards, which is an increase of about 100 on the original plan.

The Lyell Mac is preparing to receive about 100 COVID-positive inpatients, while capacity at the RAH will increase from 200 to 300 inpatients.

Flinders will also treat 100 COVID-pos-itive patients will continuing to treat preg-nant women and their babies.

The government’s original plan was pre-pared for the Delta strain of COVID-19, which anticipated about five per cent of patients would require hospital admission.

However, less than one per cent of pa-tients with Omicron have required hospital admission despite the volume of cases be-ing higher.

The peak of the Omicron variant is ex-pected to hit in late January, with 98 per cent of cases expected to experience mild symptoms, while the remaining two per cent will either require supported care of hospital admission.

COVID ward for Lyell McEwin

Continued from front pageThough the measures are temporary, a time-

frame has not been specified for how long they will remain in place.

NALHN told The Bunyip over the week-end the restrictions would be reviewed “in the coming days”.

First-time mother Tayla Cartwright, of Da-voren Park, is due to give birth in April but said she would have reconsidered attempts to fall pregnant if she had known the restrictions were coming in place.

“Being a first-time mother, I had a ‘birth plan’ in mind as many other women do,” she said.

“My plan is not very extensive, but the most important part of that birth plan for me is hav-ing my partner there to support me and help me stay calm through the process.

“As much as the early labour stage is not the most painful or traumatic part, it is the part where you find your calm and set yourself in

the mindset of ‘I can do this’. That is much easier when you have someone there with you consistently, who loves you, knows you and how to calm you.”

Ms Cartwright said many calls and mes-sages had been exchanged with her pregnant friends over the past week, with feelings of stress and anxiety common among them.

In a statement provided to The Bunyip, NALHN said the restrictions had been put in place “to protect the health and safety of par-ents and new babies in our care”.

“Physical-distancing requirements, patient flow, and the location and size of the materni-ty units at LMH means we need to limit visi-tors at this time,” it said.

“The Special Care Nursery at the LMH is smaller than similar units at other metropol-itan hospitals, making appropriate physical distancing challenging.”

If the baby requires more treatment in the Special Care Nursery, its mother will have full access but the other parent will only be permitted to visit for two hours a day, twice a week.

Visitors are not allowed in the antenatal or postnatal unit, but the support person can re-turn to the hospital once the mother and new-born has been discharged.

NALHN said exceptions to the restrictions were made for compassionate reasons in some circumstances.

PLAYFORD Council will have a rapid an-tigen test collection (RAT) site “soon” as part of the State Government’s COVID-19 Omicron response plan.

Premier Steven Marshall announced on Monday collection sites at metropolitan lo-cations at Port Adelaide, Charles Sturt and Onkaparinga would open by the end of the week.

He said new sites would be “opening soon” in the council areas of Playford, Salisbury, Onkaparinga, and Mount Barker, but did not mention a timeframe.

The announcement came as several Gawler pharmacies placed signs on their doors saying no RATs wer available.

Some Gawler retailers have limited stock of RATs, such as both Coles stores and Smokemart at Gawler Central shopping centre.

A Smokemart spokesperson said they re-ceived about 50 RATs on Tuesday and sold them at $34.95 for a pack of two.

Mr Marshall said: “As almost half a million more RATs arrive in the state (on Monday), the new metro sites will complement the su-persite in the South Parklands and a series of other regional locations, including Murray Bridge and Port Augusta which open (on Tuesday this week).”

South Australia was to receive 456,000 RATs on Monday, then 256,000 every day until Wednesday, January 26, he said.

A shipment of 3.6 million was then expect-ed in early February, “ensuring the rollouts of RATs through the collection sites would con-tinue to make the close contact process easier for many South Australians”, Mr Marshall said.

“Providing easy access to RATs for South Australians who are close contacts is anoth-er plank in our strong plan in response to the Omicron variant,” he said.

“These three new metro sites, which com-plement the South Parklands supersite and our numerous regional sites, will help keep South Australians safe and our economy strong.

“The Omicron variant was a game changer but South Australia’s strong plan is mitigat-ing the health and economic threat while also navigating our State’s inevitable opening up and protecting local jobs during this challeng-ing period.”

The RAT collection sites will provide two free RATs for people who are considered close contacts and will allow an increase in the number of tests taken to get a clearer pic-ture of how many COVID-positive people are in the community.

Those people who do not have immediate access to a RAT and are a close contact, or have symptoms, are advised to use one of the more than 80 PCR testing sites throughout the state.

Meanwhile, Salisbury Council unanimous-ly passed a motion on Monday night con-demning the lack of COVID-19 measures, such as RAT collection sites, in the northern suburbs.

Council said it voiced “concern and disap-pointment that the State Government to date has not provided a RAT pick-up location in the City of Salisbury or the north”.

spokesman Chris Picton said residents had been let down. “Steven Marshall should take heed of (Monday) night’s motion condemn-ing the lack of action in establishing a RAT pick-up site in the north, especially when Salisbury Council have offered the govern-ment locations for sites,” he said.

ANGASTON District Hospital is from this week admitting only COVID-positive patients because of the emerging number of Omicron cases and the high levels of COVID-19 in the community.

Non-COVID patients who still require care from the hospital were transferred to hospitals in Kapunda, Gawler and Mount Pleasant over the weekend.

Some were discharged where it was safe to do so.

SA Health said the Tanunda emergency department was now providing care to non-

COVID-19 patients in the area. As a result, the Tanunda COVID-19 testing clinic was closed on Sunday.

It was relocated on Monday to its new site at 7a Belvidere Road, Nuriootpa.

Angaston District Hospital has up to 21 beds available for COVID-positive people from the Barossa Valley and surrounding ar-eas that require hospital-level inpatient care for mild symptoms.

“Medium and high-risk COVID-positive patients will be transferred to a metropolitan COVID-19 receiving hospital,” an SA Health spokesperson said.

“All Angaston District Hospital staff have undertaken appropriate training and educa-tion to care for these patients and we thank them for their continued efforts during the pandemic.”

Backflip on heritageCONGRATULATIONS to Gawler’s gym-nastics team – aka Gawler Council’s As-sessment Panel (CAP) – in relation to the Church Hill tennis courts (“Council ‘cut out’ of planning debate”, The Bunyip, 5/1/22).

The common folk of Gawler and South Australia’s heritage supporters now seek physiotherapists from the whiplash caused by your 180-degree decisions from one meeting to the next.

As this latest decision was done behind closed doors, it would have been a treat to witness the CAP performing its gold med-al backflip, landing firmly with a pompous expression, arms held aloft with a particular finger extension aimed at State Heritage, the management plan of Gawler’s State Heritage area of Church Hill and the residents thereof, Gawler’s history groups, community, tourism and common sense.

We have given you deduction points for disrespectful service toward Gawler’s State Heritage area and hope you trip up on your hoops and ribbons for being so deceitful.

Boundary visionI REFER to Gawler Council’s promulga-tion of future activities as published in The Bunyip (“Gawler’s big, bold vision for the new year”, 12/1/22) .

I am a classic liberal; by that I mean I seek to preserve the status quo, those things that seem to work for me and my community, and only will countenance change after I have an-alysed it for better or for worse.

It seems to me that a most important fea-ture of our future as a community is council boundary change.

An appeal to expertise is not an argument, though as it happens I am a lawyer with ex-pert experience in government and local gov-ernment law. I feel qualified to comment that

the whole purpose of local government, as opposed to federal and state government, is to identify a community of common interest, location and to provide for that local common community.

The need, the community, the boundaries of the community, change with time and growth.

Gawler is the second fastest growing com-munity in the state - second to Mount Barker - and it seems the need is there to make our boundaries match our actual community.

I believe the most important target set out by our council is boundary reform.

Once the issue goes to the independent arbi-trator, I will abide the decision, but I will not be content until it goes there.

I ask that all members of Gawler sup-port our council’s submission that boundary changes be moved to the next step.

Train’s windfallIF Barossa Council is looking to increase the tourism and growth of employment in the Barossa Valley, may I suggest it and Gawler Council start pushing this stub-born and unapproachable government that is hellbent on not resurrecting the Barossa wine train.

The spin-off from this would be an econom-ic windfall.

Unfortunately, politicians can’t see the for-est for the trees on both sides of the table.

NEWS that Freeling’s Foodland supermarket is expected to open mid-year sparked excitement among Bunyip readers online last week, with construction set to ramp up in coming months.

Caroline Warner: This will be a great help with all farms and towns.

Amanda Chardon: I’m looking forward to Freeling Foodland a little closer than Balaklava.

Daniel James Down: Looking forward to it!

Dan Richo: Downside to that site being redeveloped is that it looks like Freeling has now lost the business run by the lady who made the best pies around.

EDITORIAL

Dream of a time when we return to normal

FEW readers will by now be surprised to see some Australia Day award and citizenship ceremonies in the re-gion will be modified to comply with COVID-19 restrictions.

After two years of having to adjust to the format of events such as Australia Day and Anzac Day being altered, post-poned or even cancelled, we are now prone to thinking or saying “whatever” when we read or hear such announce-ments.

Luckily, Australia Day celebrations in Gawler will – at this stage – go ahead as planned on January 26.

Last year, Gawler held its presentation of Australia Day award winners and its citizenship ceremony at Gawler Sport and Community Centre, instead of its usual home at Apex Park.

The proceedings were live-streamed to three local hotels, and a free breakfast – a staple of many an Aussie Day – cooked by service groups and volunteers.

But this year, in another departure from tradition, council and the Apex Club of Gawler will hold the brekkie at Princes Park.

The awards and citizenship ceremo-nies are invitation-only and the proceed-ings will be live-streamed to an outdoor screen on Princes Park.

But other councils such as Playford, Barossa and Light Regional have in re-cent weeks decided to go with online live-stream events, meaning the public cannot attend ceremonies.

Adelaide Plains Council said its event would be at Two Wells Community Cen-tre and was still working to ensure it was COVID-safe.

Long gone are the days when we all threw up our arms and complained about these types of disruptions to our cher-ished traditions.

Those early annoyances have been re-placed by a world-weary acceptance that life as we knew it before the pandemic came Down Under is a distant memory.

Indeed, it is at times difficult to have any real optimism about a future date when we can return 100 per cent to do-ing things exactly as we used to before COVID-19 became part of our daily lives.

But at least we can still get involved with traditional events such as Australia Day, in a modified way, and even dream of a time when we can safely return to doing things the old-fashioned way.

I was horrified to read that a little girl was almost hit by a crossbow arrow on Christmas Day. I really hope the “person” who fired it thinks twice about doing something so stupid in the future. Amy, Gawler East

My kingdom for a rapid antigen test... My guess is the RATs will flood the nation by the end of the month and we’ll have a massive over-supply. Bob, Willaston

Day to be thankfulEVERY year on January 26, Australians around the nation and those living around the world reflect on what it means to be Australian.

For me, Australia Day is a reminder of the tremendous freedoms we enjoy and of how lucky we are to live in the greatest country in the world.

Every Australian, from our First Australians to the newest sworn-in citizen and everyone in between, I am sure is proud to be part of our shared national story.

This Australia Day, I encourage everyone to reflect on what it is to be Australian; to work hard, to contribute to community, a sense of mateship, of belonging and of prosperity.

Let’s remember that irrespective of our place of birth, we are united in our common values.

While the recent pandemic has been a chal-lenging time for many, in true Aussie spirit, we are pulling together in the face of adver-sity. Indeed it is in these tough times that the values that make our nation shine through.

This truly is a nation of freedom and oppor-tunity, even in tough times.

We strive to better ourselves while at the same time supporting others.

To all those who have volunteered in sup-port of or donated to those in need this sum-mer, thank you. You are what make this nation great.

This Australia Day, be proud, be thankful and most importantly, have a great day cele-brating what it means to be Australian.

FORMER South Gawler Lion cricketer Travis Head has etched his name in local sporting folklore after being named Player of the Series for the 2021-22 Ashes series.

Head’s incredible series was the culmina-tion of an impressive fightback following his Cricket Australia contract being axed fewer than 10 months ago, beating Usman Khawa-ja for the number-five spot to be the last man picked for the side for the first Test.

Head, 28, rewarded the selectors imme-diately, piling on 152 in the first innings to lock up his spot for the rest of the series, go-ing on to score 51 in the second Test in Ad-elaide, and another century (101) in the final Test in Hobart.

Speaking of his road back into the Austra-lian set-up, Head said he always felt he was in contention for the Ashes.

“I went back and worked on what I needed to work on, and continued to try and perform to the best of my abilities for South Austra-lia,” he said.

“The conversations (with Australian se-lectors) were around that first Test, and how they still saw me having an impact in Tests, so it was about doing everything I possibly could to prepare myself for that opportunity.

“It’s nice to be able to repay that and play as well as I have.”

While he played out of his skin, Head unquestionably has an unconventional Test batting style.

But he said he became comfortable leaning into his natural game after being emboldened

by new captain Pat Cummins. “Pat’s giving me the confidence to go out and play,” he said. “He said ‘look, if you take the game on and get caught at third man a couple of times and you’re playing the right way, it’s no skin off my nose’.

“That probably gave me the confidence going into the series to be myself and play the situation as I see it, because I know my captain backs me in 100 per cent.”

Head’s attention now turns to upcoming tours of Pakistan and Sri Lanka, where he will no longer be the last man picked.

THE 2022 Santos Festival of Cycling is set to kick off with stage one of the Wom-en’s Ziptrak Tour starting from Tanunda on Sunday morning.

With the starting line at Chateau Tanunda, the race – which for the second suc-cessive year replaces the cancelled COVID-hit Tour Down Under – is scheduled for an 11am start, when it will take a scenic route to Lyn-doch via Gomersal.

It will loop around Cocka-too Valley and Williamstown to reach the finish line at Yet-tie Road, Williamstown, at an expected time of 1.39pm.

The 85.4-kilometre stage is the first day of the 2022 rac-ing season and acts as a cur-tainraiser to women’s cycling in the southern hemisphere.

Stage one is designed to favour the sprinters, with a tough climb at Whispering Wall one of the highlights.

Locals and visitors alike are invited to join the Wil-liamstown community cel-ebration, which includes market stalls from 9am-2pm, food and entertainment pre-sented by Southern Barossa Alliance.

Plenty of designated stand-ing and picnic spaces will be available in Grigg Reserve.

Fans should get in early to check out the Tokyo 2021 Paralympic Games medallists in the Santos Para-Cycling Time Trial at Williamstown, from 9am-11.30am, in their first crowd race since the Olympics.

“This is a great opportuni-ty for spectators, racing fans and community to see elite cycling at its best and support the local business and tour-ism industry,” Barossa May-or Bim Lange said.

To ensure a COVID-safe environment, spectators are encouraged to follow the COVID-safe practices out-lined at tourdownunder.com.au

Local cycling group Gawl-er Wheelers usually has big plans for Tour Down Under each year, but 2022 is shap-

ing up to be a more low-key celebration of the sport.

“Due to COVID-19 spread-ing so quickly around the Gawler and Barossa areas, we have not organised any-thing big or official in regard to the Barossa leg this year,” Wheelers spokeswoman Kate Sankey told The Bunyip.

“However, I am sure that many of us will ride out in small groups to cheer the girls on this Sunday.

“Some of us have pur-chased tickets to watch rac-ing in Adelaide, and many of us will ride out to watch the riders race out on the roads on other days.”

The Santos Festival of Cy-cling begins on Friday and will run until Saturday, Jan-uary 29, showcasing the best of cycling and South Austra-lian scenery.

EVANSTON small-business owner Paul Lynch has been recognised for his work in the niche field of growing living coral.

His hard work was recognised by a win-ning firm at the 2021 Australian Exporter of the Year at the 59th annual Australia Export Awards.

Mr Lynch, who has suffered with men-tal-health issues for 28 years after a diving in-cident that led to a brain injury, said he hoped his success story could help others going through a rough time.

“I worked most of my life, but for the past seven years, I’ve suffered from major depres-sion, PTSD, anxiety and chronic pain,” he said.

“Due to my health issues, I had to give up full-time work, and I ended up on disability support pension after it became difficult to find any type of work.

“I always had a love for the ocean and its creatures – I had a reef aquarium from 16 years old – and so I found an interest in a niche market in creating ceramic products for the aquarium industry.

“I started to get requests from different businesses, which took me down the path of coral-propagating products, where my ceram-ic discs are used by coral collectors or aquari-um hobbyists to grow living coral.

“After they grow a small piece of coral, that can be then sold locally or internationally.

“I don’t do this business for money – it’s mainly to keep my mind active and to give me a purpose in life.

“I’m hoping that my story can be an inspi-ration to others who struggle; there is a future, no matter how hard it gets sometimes.”

Mr Lynch and his business, Reef Aqua Aus-

tralia, create custom ceramic discs based upon request.

He believed he might be the only person in Australia producing the discs as part of a com-mercial enterprise.

One client of Reef Aqua Australia is Dar-win’s Monsoon Aquatics. The firm’s staff took home the national title of 2021 Austra-lian Exporter of the Year at the Australia Ex-port Awards, thanking Mr Lynch for his role it its success.

Mr Lynch is in the process of putting to-gether a GoFundMe to raise funds for a kiln to further his business.

He needs some help setting it up, so if you would like to assist, email [email protected].

BAROSSA Council’s 2022 Citizen of the Year Simon Taylor is a great example of what it means to “love where you live”.

Mr Taylor, of Williamstown, has been a champion for the Southern Barossa for more than 30 years, working tirelessly across many organisations to improve community health and wellbeing and create opportunities for community connection and outreach.

Simon has especially advocated for young people through his work with the Southern Barossa Alliance, Barossa Local Drug Action Team and Barossa District Football and Net-ball Club.

With a practical approach to meeting com-munity needs, Mr Taylor has played a pivot-

al role in supporting emergency food relief, Barossa Wildlife Rescue and Barossa Cares, a project connecting people in need with local services.

His energy and enthusiasm have contribut-ed to the success of many tourism and com-munity events, such as ROAR Barossa and the Santos Tour Down Under.

According to his nomination, Mr Taylor’s pride and passion have made the Southern Barossa a better place.

“Simon facilitates, drives, collaborates, en-gages and constantly searches for new ways to strengthen friendships and partnerships within the community,” his nomination said.

“He is the volunteer every community would love to have.”

TWO trips to Cambodia while at Nu-riootpa High School were life-chang-ing experiences for Katie Koch, 19, of Lyndoch.

Barossa Council’s 2022 Young Citi-zen of the Year travelled there as a vol-unteer for RAW Impact, an Australian not-for-profit organisation – now with a Barossa branch – that delivers educa-tion and sustainability initiatives to vil-lages living in poverty.

“It was amazing – I was very lucky to be able to go when we had the chance,” Ms Koch told The Bunyip.

“I went in year 10 and again in year 11. I loved it so much that I had to go back.

“I would definitely recommend it to anyone who has the chance.

“RAW Impact, they’ve got some great mentors and I’ve definitely met some amazing people.”

She said in Cambodia she was able to help with “educating people in the areas they were working in, building homes or schools or planting bamboo”.

“I’d never been anywhere overseas – it was definitely a culture shock,” she said. “It was a lot to take in.

“It definitely changed my whole perspective since those trips; I look at things a lot differently.”

Ms Koch has also been active in ser-vice closer to home, volunteering at Tanunda Lutheran Home, organising a local food drive and contributing to en-vironmental initiatives such as the blue gums rejuvenation project at Nuriootpa High.

As a member of the school’s SRC and as house captain, Katie was recognised for personal attributes such as leader-ship, independence and resilience.

Teachers commended Katie’s “excel-lent personal conduct and behaviour, and service to community affairs and projects”.

NEW GARAGE

FAR more than an outdoor adventure race, Barossa Council’s 2022 Community Project of the Year ROAR Barossa show-cased the Southern Barossa as a nature ad-venture destination in its own right.

ROAR stands for Reservoir Outdoor Ad-venture Race. Described as the first official race of its kind in the state, the triathlon last October attracted 100 entrants competing in kayaking, mountain biking and running over a range of distances at Mount Crawford For-est and the Warren Reservoir.

A participant survey indicated 90 per cent of entrants had not previously been kayak-ing on the Warren but 100 per cent wanted to return, creating new opportunities to mar-ket and promote the Southern Barossa to a broader South Australian audience.

The success of the event was largely due to volunteer effort and the successful part-

nership between Southern Barossa Alliance and supporting partners Barossa Council, SA Water, Forestry SA and the State Gov-ernment.

Positioned as an event for elite and nov-ice competitors, it is hoped the event will become an annual fixture on the triathlon calendar, in addition to a great spectator and family event for the local community.

AS a child, Rose Brooks caused “much grief” for her parents by bringing home injured or orphaned animals.

That early passion led to a life of wild-life care for the Lyndoch resident, who has won Barossa Council’s 2022 Award for Active Citizenship for her work founding not-for-profit Barossa Wildlife Rescue (BWR).

Ms Brooks told The Bunyip of her ear-ly animal-rescue work: “Mum and Dad weren’t very empathetic, I’m afraid, but it was always an English neighbour I went to over the road. I’d say to her, ‘can I find a home for this?’ or ‘can I mend this?’, and they were very helpful, her and her hus-band.”

Ms Brooks said that love of helping sick or injured wildlife began when she was in primary school.

Moving from Pooraka to Lyndoch about 23 years ago, she started BWR’s Facebook page. Once that gained trac-tion, Ms Brooks said the first volunteers who wanted to help her were mostly schoolchildren.

“The first girl left a note on the front gate and said to me ‘Look, I’ve always got an in-terest if you want to ring up my mum and dad’ – she was 13 then – ‘and make sure I look after my animals; I’d love to come and help you’.

“She was here for about 13 years.”Ms Brooks and her team of two doz-

en volunteers average 485 rescues or callouts each year, including pos-sums, echidnas, kangaroos, koalas and birds.

Most are nursed back to health and re-

leased back into the wild where possible, or rehomed.

Ms Brooks said she was committed to sharing her knowledge and expertise, train-ing and mentoring carers with the aim of providing an around-the-clock rescue ser-vice.

Volunteers help feed and transport injured animals, and help at local community events.

BWR is well-respected in the re-gion, working with SAPOL, Na-tive Animal Network SA and Fauna Rescue SA.

Relying on community sponsorship and support to remain sustainable, Ms Brooks believes every animal with a heartbeat de-serves “a chance at life” and has made this her life’s work.

PROGRESS is continuing on the refurbishment of Gawler’s Visitor Information Centre (VIC) after lift shafts were installed late last year.

It is part of a wider upgrade to the centre, which will contribute to the relocation of the Gawler Com-munity Art Gallery from its current base at Gawler Railway Station in Gawler South to the Lyndoch Road facility.

The upgrade has been made pos-sible through Federal Government funding, with Gawler Council se-curing a $569,970 grant through the Local Roads and Community Infra-structure Program.

In total, the project will cost $745,361.

Mayor Karen Redman was last week given a tour of the VIC along with council’s infrastructure and engineering services manager Sam Dilena.

The pair were able to see first-hand the progress being made in the centre.

Ms Redman said progress was tracking well, with construction tentatively looking at a March com-pletion.

“We got quite a bit of money through stimulus funding from the Federal Government… and council endorsed putting that towards not only a new lift but renovating the building to bring it up to current standards,” she said.

“What we have now is two floors of usable space; we have got the lift of course but you will also be able to access the centre via automatic

doors for the first time so that it is truly accessible.

“There will be a new external stair that is to current standards, there is a disability all-access toilet upstairs internally for the first time.

“It looks really, really good…and it won’t be long until the Commu-nity Gallery can take up residence.”

Ms Redman said she was looking forward to the refurbished VIC re-opening, stating it was going to be a “good outcome on many levels”.

The lift will be fully compliant with the Disability Discrimination Act, allowing for access to the first floor of the VIC, where the gallery will be located.

Other work includes internal up-grades to create an art gallery space on the ground floor of the centre.

On the first floor, office, meeting and workshop space will feature alongside an exhibition gallery for the community group.

This was included in council’s budget for the 2021-22 financial

year. While work has been under way, the VIC team has been moved to the ground floor of council’s ad-ministration building just across the road on High Street.

An exhibition is planned to take place to launch the upgraded space once it is completed.

THREE large touch screens around Gawl-er will remain in place, despite Gawler Council’s move to shut down a community app.

As reported by The Bunyip on January 5, elected members last month voted to power down the controversial Gawler Connected Community app after an external review con-sidered it to “offer no benefit”.

The app formed part of council’s Smart City strategy for Gawler.

It was part of a wider Connected Com-munity project embarked upon by council, which also included public Wi-Fi and digital “wayfinders”.

Installed at three points across town – Walker Place, the Visitor Information Cen-tre and the Sport and Community Centre – the wayfinders are a large screen panel that play images of council information on a loop.

The two small panels on either side of the machine are touch screens designed to con-nect with the app.

Council’s acting chief executive David Bar-rett said the wayfinders would continue to op-erate, albeit in a different manner.

“The large panels are already being driven by infrastructure that is not tied to the Gawler Connected Community App,” he said.

“The small touch panels will be redirect-ed away from the app to the council web-site and search capabilities via a restricted internet browser so that users can still ac-

cess information about Gawler that they are looking for.”

Since the wayfinders have been installed, though, they have encountered problems from not displaying anything on the screens to “buggy” user experiences.

Council spent more than $130,000 on the wayfinders as part of its Connected Commu-nity Project.

In a statement provided to The Buny-ip on Monday, Mr Barrett said the smaller touch screens “are currently working as they should”.

“…no disruption to their functionality is an-ticipated when they are redirected away from the app,” he said.

However, the large panels at Walker Place and the Visitor Information Centre are cur-rently out of action after being damaged by heat.

Mr Barrett said the screens had been “tem-porarily” turned off while they underwent re-pairs.

“The supplier intends to improve internal ventilation within the signs with these works planned to occur in the coming fortnight,” he said.

“Replacement screens have been ordered under warranty and are scheduled for delivery in approximately three weeks.”

t h i s s u m m e r i n o u r A r t i s a n

C h e e s e H a l l !

C H E E S E is considered a delicacy the world over and it’s

easy to see why! In Europe, every cheese reveals its region and

behind every family of cheese is a special process. From artisanal

cheese with mild and delicate f lavours to be enjoyed every day,

to cheeses with stronger character, there is a European cheese for

every occasion to be discovered in our Artisan Cheese Hall.

Le Fromager although similar in appearance to a brie with its white and soft outside and creamy interior,

is gentler in flavour and its center gets runnier as it matures. Its tangy

flavour gives off a fresh taste, and has velvety texture for an

extremely smooth experience. Le Fromage is great accompanied with

dried nuts, apple, crackers and charcuterie and due to its delicate flavour, it pairs

perfectly with sparkling whites.

franceL e f r o m a g e r

Danablu is a semi-soft blue cheese made from full-fat cow’s milk in Denmark. While the milk is hardening, the curds

are pricked with needles to develop the blue-grey mould which

spreads throughout the cheese. Its flavour is intense, sharp, salty

and slightly bitter. Danablu can be enjoyed in many ways, served on cheeseboards, as an ingredient in

sauces and dressings or paired with sliced pears, walnuts or honey.

DenmarkD a n a b l u

Auricchio Provolone Classico has a firm texture and is sharp in flavour. Made from whole cow’s milk from

carefully selected farms in Italy and is aged for a minimum of 12 months.

This cheese can add that extra touch of flavour to soups, fresh garden salads,

antipasto or omelettes.

ItalyA u r i c c h i o P r o v o l o n e

C l a s s i c oManchego is a cheese made in the La Mancha region of Spain from sheep’s

milk, of the Manchega breed. Manchego has a firm and compact consistency and

a buttery texture. Its flavour is slightly acidic, but depending on the aging period,

it can also be spicy and peppery.As a hard, slightly oily and robust cheese,

Manchego pairs brilliantly well with Spanish red wines like Tempranillo.

spainM a n c h e g o

Reypenaer is a style of Gouda Cheese that is taken through a series of maturation stages

in an entirely natural way. Coming from Holland, this cheese has an intense flavour

with a creamy finish. It has a sweet taste which has sometimes been referred to as

butterscotch or caramel. This cheese is great on its own or in fondue and pairs well with robust red wines with strong berry flavours.

HOLLANDR e y p e n a e r

Wensleydale is a mild cheese that is made in Wensleydale, North Yorkshire. Wensleydale

is creamy-white in colour has a supple, crumbly, moist and flaky texture. The flavour is mild, clean, and slightly

sweet with hints of wild honey and fresh acidity. Wensleydale goes

well with fruit cake and also tastes delicious with hot desserts like fruit pies and crumbles and as a dessert cheese pairs perfectly with

Champagne or Port.

OUR GUIDE TO THE ULTIMATE CHRISTMAS HAM

METHODTo make the glaze, place the brown sugar, dried mustard, cider vinegar and maplesyrup in a bowl and mix until all ingredients are combined.

To prepare the ham, with a sharp knife carefully remove the skin, making sure the fat stays on the meat. Use a knife to score the fat in a criss-cross pattern and tuck the cloves in the cross-sections in a regular pattern. Place the ham in a baking tray and apply half the glazing mixture evenly over

the ham. Bake the ham at 180 degrees for about 30 minutes or until the outsides are golden brown. Remove from the oven and, while the ham is still warm, apply the remaining glaze.

Simply slice to serve. This dish is perfect hot or cold.

THE future of the under-siege Nuriootpa swimming pool is safe – for at least another decade.

Barossa Council has postponed consulta-tion on future regional aquatic services fol-lowing extensive testing of the shell of the Nuriootpa War Memorial Swimming Pool that had provided updated information on its condition.

In August last year, council voted to spend $149,500 to replace filters and work to the plant room to enable the pool to open for the 2021-22 summer season.

That move came after council in Novem-ber 2020 reversed a controversial decision to close the pool at the end of the 2020-21 sea-son, opting to undertake major community consultation into the region’s aquatic needs.

That feedback exercise has now been post-poned.

“Fortunately, the additional testing we were able to carry out shows the pool shell is in bet-ter condition than previously advised,” Mayor Bim Lange said last week.

“It’s expected to be serviceable for anoth-er 11-plus years, which supports the case for council’s future ongoing maintenance of this much-loved facility.”

Council will continue to maintain current levels of service at the pool until “the cost

outweighs community benefit”. Last week’s announcement is good news for members of the public who lobbied strongly to retain the pool during the 2020-21 season and beyond.

“We heard the sentiment from some people in the community who feel passionately about their local war memorial pool, and the health and wellbeing benefits it provides,” Mr Lange said.

Meanwhile, the engineering report rec-ommended council investigate replacing Williamstown Pool in the next five to 10 years as it nears the end of its serviceable life.

“It’s timely that we have this engineering assessment, as Williamstown Pool forms part of the next stage of master planning for Queen

Victoria Jubilee Park as part of the Big Proj-ect,” Mr Lange said.

He emphasised council remained commit-ted to ensuring aquatics facilities and services were matched to community needs.

“At this stage, we have simply postponed immediate consultation on future aquatics services, but we remain committed to a long-term strategy for regional aquatics, which will be considered by a future term of council,” Mr Lange said.

Council replaced the Nuriootpa pool filtra-tion pods ahead of the current season.

It has also resolved to undertake an elec-trical capacity assessment of the pool, to be funded from the 2021-22 operational budget.

“Whilst the filtration upgrades have en-sured we can maintain water quality and we have reassurance around the medium-term integrity of the shell, we are also aware many other elements of the pool infrastructure need to work to allow the pool to operate safely and efficiently,” Mr Lange said. “We encourage everyone to get out and support their commu-nity pools during the current warm weather to reinforce the importance of the investment council is making to provide multiple ways to stay fit and healthy outdoors.”

THE $4.6 million upgrade of Tanunda Rec-reation Park’s clubroom and change rooms has received a $1.5 million boost.

Barossa Council, in partnership with the State Government’s Office of Recreation Sport and Racing, announced yesterday it had allocat-ed the $1.5 million funding to the “multi-use facilities”.

The upgrade will include shared clubrooms with 280-capacity seating and public lounge; six gender-neutral change rooms and um-pire rooms; toilets for sporting and public use; spectator viewing to oval and courts; office and storage spaces; a breezeway to connect to Tanunda Show Hall and com-mercial kitchen; and civil and landscaping improvements.

Council said the redevelopment was part of a shared vision with SACA and SANFL to de-velop the Barossa as the best regional sports event tourism destination for AFL and crick-et in South Australia as part of council’s The Big Project plan.

Mayor Bim Lange said it was a big win for grassroots sport and the wider community and

thanked stakeholders for their enthusiasm and collaboration.

“This project will deliver contempo-rary facilities to support local participation across men, women and junior competitions, and also attract regional, state and national sports tourism events for the Barossa region,” he said.

“High-quality, inclusive facilities that meet the needs of our growing football, cricket, netball and tennis clubs is a ma-jor driver for this investment as part of The Big Project.

“We’re thrilled to be partnering once more with the Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing to reach our shared sports and recre-ation goals and thank all the Park stakehold-ers for their enthusiasm and collaboration.”

The project will run alongside the $2.9 million investment at the park to devel-op a junior oval, cricket nets and inclusion playground, and widen and provide new irri-gation to the main oval.

“These projects complete the priority projects from the park master plan adopted by council in 2017, with the previous show

hall upgrades, electrical capacity works and new oval lighting making a total investment in the Park of $10.6 million under The Big Project umbrella,” Mr Lange said.

Member for Schubert Stephan Knoll said the success of The Big Project to at-

tract State Government funding continued. “The upgrades to Tanunda Recreation Park contribute to establishing the Barossa as a premier regional sports event tourism destina-tion for AFL and cricket in South Australia,” he said.

THE wellbeing work men’s and women’s sheds in the Gawler and Playford regions do in supporting their communities with wellbeing services has been recognised by the state Opposition.

If elected to government in the March election, Labor has promised to create a $1 million grant fund to help sheds in their activities.

It has also pledged to provide them with additional equipment to support their programs and projects.

Member for Light Tony Piccolo welcomed the announcement.

“Men’s sheds provide an opportu-nity for important social interaction for men who have become isolated for whatever reason,” he said.

He said he had no doubt Willo’s Men’s Shed at Willaston had saved

many lives just by providing invalu-able peer support when men were “doing it tough”.

“The sheds not only create oppor-tunities for social interaction, but ac-tivities where men can also learn new things,” he said.

Willo’s has a fully equipped work-shop with a range of tools and equip-ment, with qualified tradesman on hand to help new members.

Mr Piccolo said men could also gain computer skills at Willo’s.

“The shed, which is run by volun-teers, has a very relaxed, friendly and welcoming atmosphere and men of any age and circumstance are encour-aged to become members,” he said.

“A lot of the satisfaction from being part of the men’s shed is the community work they undertake for schools and other community-based

organisations. This year, they even helped Santa build his cave at Gawler Civic Centre.”

Of the $1 million grants pool, which Labor said would be made available over four years, $120,000 would be allocated to the state’s only Women’s Shed in the Playford Council area.

“The volunteer-run Women’s Shed provides valuable social and practical support for women in the area, and its importance can be seen through its growth in membership from 25 to 140 members in a very short time,” Mr Piccolo said.

Willo’s Men’s Shed is at Lot 5, Lit-tle Paxton St, Willaston, and can be contacted on 0428 362 277 or email ([email protected])

BUNYIP readers might en-joy a trip north this month to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the famous Murray Bridge Bunyip/Mulyawonk.

The tourist attraction’s birth-day party at Sturt Reserve, Mur-ray Bridge, on Saturday, Janu-ary 29 from 5pm, will include music, food, kids’ activities, speeches and storytelling.

Visitors can find the Bunyip/Mulyawonk in a water cave by the river, and press a button to hear it roar as it rises from the murky depths.

Murray Bridge Mayor Bren-ton Lewis said the event would help people to learn about local history and celebrate stories that shaped the town’s identity.

“The Murray Bridge Bunyip, or Mulyawonk as it’s known by local Indigenous people, is a well-known feature of the river-front that people come from far and wide to see,” he said.

“It’s a bit of novelty and lot of fun for kids, scaring each other as they watch the bunyip rise from the watery depths and roar, but there is also an import-

ant story behind it that honours Ngarrindjeri culture and re-mains relevant today.”

The Bunyip’s 50th birthday event is being organised in li-aison with the Ngarrindjeri Re-gional Authority to ensure local culture is honoured and respect-ed.

THE case to re-establish a tour-ism train for the Gawler to Baros-sa rail corridor was “dead” under a Liberal government, Member for Light Tony Piccolo said.

He made the comment following receipt of the State Government’s formal response to the “Back on Track” Barossa Rail Study last week.

In October last year, the Barossa Tourist Train Taskforce formally sent the report to Premier Steven Marshall outlining the challenges and opportunities of the return of a tourist train service to Gawler and the Barossa.

Mr Piccolo said the government had made it clear there would not be any Barossa tourist train or rail ser-vices under a Liberal government.

“The government’s short two-page response has overlooked the possible economic benefits of a tourist train,” Mr Piccolo said.

“It is clear that a tourist train ser-vice could attract more private in-vestment to the region.

“There is also scope for the south-ern Barossa to start to regain some of the trade and tourism opportuni-ties that it has missed since the com-pletion of the Sturt Highway that encourages Gomersal Road access to the Valley.

“The Premier has missed a big opportunity as Tourism Minister

to help the region recover after the economic hit of the pandemic.”

Mr Piccolo said the government remained silent about the impact on the rail line when the new Alto-na road and bridge project was fin-ished.

The Federal Government’s Heavy Vehicle Safety and Productivity Program planned to remove the bridge and realign the road, he said.

He said it was vital any upgrade works retained a bridge structure that separated the rail and road cor-ridor to avoid another Kromer’s Crossing-style cut to the line.

“These can be fixed, but at great and unnecessary expense to the tax-payer,” he said.

Mr Piccolo said the government, responding on behalf of Premier Steven Marshall in a letter from Transport Minister Corey Wing-ard, admitted the design of the Kroemer’s Crossing roundabout at Tanunda “does not preclude rein-statement of the rail line”.

Mr Piccolo, who chaired the task-force, said the process provided an opportunity for local businesses and community leaders to examine in greater depth what obstacles needed to be overcome to realise the eco-nomic and employment benefits that a tourist train could deliver to communities along the Barossa Rail Corridor.

“The taskforce had been working since November 2020 on a project brief that would be the basis of an

independent inquiry into the viabili-ty of a Barossa Valley-focused tour-ist train,” Mr Piccolo said.

The independent inquiry would be funded by an incoming Labor government, he said.

MORE than 200 motorists were caught crossing from Victoria carrying more than 300 kilograms of illegal fruit and vegetables into the Riverland over the Christmas and new year holidays.

From December 24 to January 3, 230 vehicles were reported by bios-ecurity officials at the Yamba Quar-antine Station, with 326 kilograms of fruit seized.

Primary Industries and Region-al Development Minister David Basham said the breaches were dis-appointing, given current fruit-fly eradication efforts.

“South Australians have worked incredibly hard over the past two years to help eradicate fruit-fly out-breaks across the state so to have this sort of blatant disregard of the rules is very frustrating,” Mr Bash-am said.

“We take a zero-tolerance ap-proach to people bringing prohib-ited fruit into South Australia from

interstate as well as into the River-land pest free area and those caught doing the wrong thing will be fined.

“To have more than 200 motorists caught bringing fruit and vegetables through the Yamba quarantine sta-tion over the holidays is very dis-appointing and these drivers will be lighter in the wallet because of it.”

Mr Basham said in “pleasing news to South Australia’s horticulture indus-try”, Mediterranean fruit fly outbreaks in metropolitan Adelaide and Port Au-gusta, and three Queensland fruit fly outbreaks in the Riverland, were suc-cessfully eradicated last month.

“This means growers in these ar-eas can once again have that market advantage of being fruit fly-free and there are reduced restrictions on the movement of fruit and vegetables and lower costs of preparing the fruit for market,” he said.

“This has only been possible through the hard work of our farm-ers and biosecurity staff on the ground, as well as the co-operation

from local residents and businesses and I thank them for their support.”

Mr Basham said fruit-fly out-breaks threatened the state’s $1.3 billion at-risk horticulture industry and the thousands of businesses and local jobs the sector supported.

This was why the government was continuing to throw every available resource at remaining fruit-fly out-breaks, he said.

“This includes a combination of fruit and vegetable movement re-strictions to stop fruit fly spreading, organic baiting, collecting fallen fruit, checking fruit for signs of fruit fly and releasing sterile flies to break the life cycle,” Mr Basham said.

“We know fruit fly is most active in summer and we ask everyone to remain vigilant to ensure we keep South Australia fruit fly free by con-tinuing to pick fruit once ripe, col-lect fallen fruit, check fruit for mag-gots and call the Fruit Fly Hotline on 1300 666 010 if you see anything suspicious.”

200 motorists caught with illegal fruit

LABOR has promised to restore funding to community-run Nat-ural Resource Centres across South Australia, including Gawler’s, if elected to govern-ment in the March state election.

The Opposition said funding cuts by the State Government had caused some centres to close.

Under Labor’s policy, the Green Adelaide Landscape Board would be required to continue funding environment centres that were sev-ered from financial support.

In a letter to the Gawler Natu-ral Resource Centre, Opposition environment and water spokes-woman Susan Close said: “En-vironment and Natural Resource Centres are critical in promoting community engagement with the natural environment through edu-cation programs and by providing space where locals can meet, learn

practical skills and encourage oth-ers to live more sustainably.”

The policy announcement was welcomed by members of the Gawl-er Environment and Heritage Asso-ciation, which undertakes a number of projects to vegetate public spaces and create sustainable habitats.

It was also welcomed by local Member for Light Tony Piccolo, who said the centres were an im-portant educational tool.

“The Gawler centre has spawned a number of programs, like the Gawler Repair Cafe, where local people can get small home products repaired at no cost, rather than put them in the waste cycle,” Mr Piccolo said.

“Programs like this not only help people on low incomes, but also demonstrate how we can all make a contribution to reducing waste in our communities and live with a smaller carbon footprint.”

Vow to revive Natural Resource Centres


MEMBER for Frome Geoff Brock said the confusion and decisions sur-rounding the State Government’s man-agement of the COVID-19 pandemic had put an “unacceptable strain on the state”.

“It is unacceptable that members of Par-liament, who represent our constituents to the best of our ability, are being deliberate-ly prevented from questioning the govern-ment or contributing to discussions on how this situation can be better managed,” Mr Brock said.

“We knew then that the Omicron variant was in our community… but the govern-ment believed, wrongly, it had everything under control.”

His criticism followed a request from 25 MPs and the Speaker of the House of As-sembly, Dan Cregan, to reconvene Parlia-ment for four days next month to address the COVID-19 and Omicron variant crisis, which was refused by Premier Steven Mar-shall.

The request came after Deputy Pre-mier Dan van Holst Pellekaan last month shut Parliament down for a five-month break.

“Crossbnchers discussed their concerns and we also spoke to the Opposition, and agreed, that due to the grave concerns and

uncertainty in our current COVID-19 crisis with the Omicron variant, that we should request the Premier to recall Parliament,” Mr Brock said.

“We have seen our communities in con-fusion, businesses closing, economic hard-ship and supply chain shortages...

“Anyone working in the health sectors are being put under more and more pressure to the point of burnout and exhaustion… all because the government has planned poor-ly.”

Pandemic’s ‘unacceptable strain’ on SA communities SMALL and medium food

and beverage manufactur-ers in Barker can save mon-ey on energy bills, improve their energy efficiency and adopt new energy technolo-gies under the latest round of the Energy Efficient Communities program.

Manufacturers can now apply for a grant of up to $25,000 each out of a total $19.9 million from the pro-gram to help with these ini-tiatives and with the area’s economic recovery from COVID-19.

Federal Member for Barker Tony Pasin said the program targeted food and beverage manufacturers, which were

some of the most energy-in-tensive small and medium businesses in Barker, in hopes to make the area more carbon neutral.

“The funding will help manufacturing businesses in Barker lower their pow-er bills and emissions… in Barker alone, there are more people per capita engaged in food manufacturing than in any other electorate in Aus-tralia,” he said.

“The Australian Govern-ment is supporting this vital sector of the economy as it recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Mr Pasin said grant money could be used to replace ex-isting equipment with more

energy-efficient models, car-ry out energy audits, or im-prove energy monitoring and management.

“Reducing needless energy consumption also cuts emis-sions and is at the heart of the Australian Government’s focus on technology, not tax-es, because it boosts compet-itiveness, creates new jobs and reduces Australia’s envi-ronmental footprint,” he said.

Applications close on Feb-ruary 18 or earlier if funding is exhausted.

More information, grant guidelines and application forms are available at www.business.gov.au/EECFB, or telephone on 13 28 46.

HIKING in the bush in hot weather could be fatal, new research has revealed.

Researchers at Edith Cowan University (ECU) studied the National Coronial Infor-mation System and identified 38 deaths from 2001-18 where exercising in heat was a causal or contributory factor.

They found two groups of people were most at risk: men aged 15-45, and international vis-itors.

All states and territories recorded at least one death, with Western Australia recording the most with seven fatalities.

Lead researcher Dr Lauren Fortington said education was crucial in reducing the number of heat-related deaths linked to sports and rec-reation.

“This is the first study of its kind in Austra-lia and the results confirm while such deaths are rare, they occur with enough regularity to warrant renewed attention toward their pre-vention,” she said.

“The 38 fatalities identifiable within the NCIS database is strong justification for a rethink on prevention strategies, particularly given for every exertional heat fatality, there are likely to be several near-miss cases.”

Of the 38 deaths examined, only two oc-curred during organised sport. The remaining 36 were during recreational activities, 27 of which were hiking.

Dr Fortington said people were more at risk when the temperature was listed as high, with high humidity.

“We recommend the development of clear and simple messaging aligned with the view that ‘hiking on days of extreme heat is strong-ly discouraged’,” she said.

Hiking in remote areas without access to medical assistance and supplies was also risky.

Dr Fortington said many strategies such as carrying enough water and registering trips with local authorities rely on individuals knowing, and doing, the right thing.

“A reasonable proportion of people might not view hiking as a high-risk activity,” she said.

“And while international visitors are at-risk, so too are local tourists: almost half of the cases occurred in a state that was not the home residence of the deceased.

“This emphasises the importance of know-ing and being suited to the local conditions and emergency services.”

The study revealed a lack of awareness of the symptoms of heat-induced illness played a part in fatalities.

Early symptoms can include headache, diz-ziness, tiredness, muscle cramps, irritability, thirst, bright or dark yellow urine, loss of ap-petite and fainting.

Twenty-two of the cases recorded when symptoms first emerged; of these, in nine in-stances the time between noticing symptoms and death was greater than five hours.

“Exertional heat illness signs and symptoms should be well-known among active people as delays in treatment seeking can be fatal,” Dr Fortington said.

“Three quarters of cases in this series died at the location of the incident where they were active. Rapid recognition and calling for emergency assistance as soon as a case is sus-pected is crucial to survival.”

“Exertional heat fatalities in Australian sport and recreation” was published in a special issue on Heat, Health and Performance in the Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport.

BOB JANE T-MARTS GAWLER CELEBRATES 30 YEARSADVERTISING FEATURE

Customer serviceCustomer servicedrives success for drives success for Gawler T-MartsGawler T-Marts

FOR 30 years, Bob Jane T-Marts Gawl-er has been serving the local community from its home on Murray Street – and with strong, educated leadership, there is no end in sight for the industry leader.

The Bob Jane brand has been synony-mous with high-quality tyres for more than 50 years in South Australia, starting with former race car driver Bob Jane’s decision to begin importing race-quality tyres for use in Australia.

With his special tyres, Bob won the first ever Bathurst 500, back when it was known as the Armstrong 500, in a Ford Cortina Mk 1.

After his success and showcasing what a difference a great set of tyres can mean for a car, Bob Jane T-Marts was born, and have

stayed on the cutting edge ever since.Bob Jane T-Marts was a family busi-

ness at its core, and these days its Gawl-er branch is no different.

Franchisee Yang Tran took over oper-ations in 2015 after more than 20 years of

experience in the industry.“What I’ve found in Gawler is that

there’s a really good vibe through the whole town – if you walk through, you’ll find a lot of family-owned businesses, and we’re no different,” Mr Tran said.

“I’m lucky enough to have my son work-ing here with me, but I like to think I treat all of the guys like they’re family.

“We spend more time at work than we do at home, so it’s important to look after each other.

OUT of all the aspects of vehicle maintenance, Yang Tran said none was more important than monitoring your tyres’ air pressure.

“The easiest and most important thing people can do to look after your tyres is to check air pressure regularly,” the Bob Jane T-Marts Gawler franchisee said.

“Air pressure is important because it’s unsafe when it’s too high, and it’s unsafe when it’s too low, because the tyre is

designed to run in a very narrow window of air pressure to operate at 100 per cent.

“When you’re outside that margin, your tyres are only operating at 70 per cent, or lower, which can be very dangerous.

“To be safe, check your tyre pressure once a fortnight – that way you will notice if it is not stable, and that could be for a number of reasons. If you can’t check yourself, or you don’t know how, definitely come and see us – we do it for free.”

Get air pressureright to stay safe

“I’ve been doing tyres for as long as I can remember – I’ve done everything from basic fittings, all the way through to top manage-ment, so I decided now was the time to take a chance and own my own business.”

Mr Tran spoke about why he feels Bob Jane T-Marts Gawler had thrived for such a long period, and for him it is simple – high-quality products, and a focus on customer service.

“I picked this brand because Bob Jane has a great reputation in the industry,” he said.

“It’s a brand that is recognised for its price – because we always have the best price, and we’ll price-match anywhere – but it’s the cus-tomer service that we really focus on.

“When you look after the customer, it builds loyalty and then they are much more likely to recommend you to people.

“We never just offer the customers whatev-er we make the most money on – it’s all about what each individual customer needs.”

A common problem car owners face is sim-ply a lack of knowledge about what their ve-hicle needs, but with Mr Tran and his team’s experience, that burden is taken out of your hands.

“A big part of what we do is finding the right tyre for the right application – it’s like a family saying, ‘you can’t wear the most expensive high heels to go play soccer’,” Mr Tran said.

“That is what a lot of places get wrong.“Our customers could be coming from

just outside of town and need to make their way down the freeway going 110km/h, while some of our local customers live close by but need to travel through dirt and gravel roads.

“The tyres need to not just match the vehi-cle, but match what the vehicle is going to be used for.

“I think that is the difference you get from decades of experience because I don’t feel a lot of tyre stores are asking those kinds of questions or finding out the background infor-mation needed to make a good decision.”

It’s a brand that is recognised for its price

– because we always have the best price, and we’ll price-match anywhere – but it’s the customer service that we really focus on. - YANG TRAN

OUR GUIDE TO THE ULTIMATE CHRISTMAS HAM

METHOD To make the glaze, place the brown sugar, dried mustard, cider vinegar and maplesyrup in a bowl and mix until all ingredients are combined.

To prepare the ham, with a sharp knife carefully remove the skin, making sure the fat stays on the meat. Use a knife to score the fat in a criss-cross pattern and tuck the cloves in the cross-sections in a regular pattern. Place the ham in a baking tray and apply half the glazing mixture evenly over

the ham. Bake the ham at 180 degrees for about 30 minutes or until the outsides are golden brown. Remove from the oven and, while the ham is still warm, apply the remaining glaze.

Simply slice to serve. This dish is perfect hot or cold.

SUMMER 2021

Glenlea Park goes from strength to strength

SA Water research showed there were 1781 water-main incidents across regional ar-eas last year, the lowest rate in the past four years.

A total of 3614 water main leaks and breaks were report-ed in 2021 across SA Water’s 27,000-kilometre network, compared to 3749 in 2020.

These figures include ev-erything from major breaks to minor pipe leaks, damp patches and trickles on the road.

The impact of weather on the state’s soils continues to be the main contributor and there are still ongoing in-vestment into water network management to help reduce the frequency and impact of breaks and leaks.

SA Water general man-ager of sustainable infra-structure, Amanda Lewry, said reactive clay soils mov-ing during the transition from hot and dry seasons to wet and cool, and the stress this caused on un-derground pressurised wa-ter pipes, remained the No.1 cause of water main incidents. “Similar to 2020 and 2017, we saw relative-ly mild transitions between seasons last year, result-ing in more stable levels of moisture in the soils and therefore fewer wa-ter-main breaks,” Ms Lewry said.

“This is compared to 2018 and 2019 when the state ex-perienced searing hot tem-

peratures and below average rainfall, so when it did rain, the abruptness of the event had an increased impact on water mains, with break rate figures in these years closer to 4000.”

SA Water also installed about 59 kilometres of new water mains across South Australia last year – includ-ing under several key arterial roads in Adelaide.

“Across 2020-24, we’re investing $155 million to improve water services for our customers and main-tain South Australia’s wa-ter infrastructure, includ-ing by expanding our use of smart technology,” Ms Lewry said.

THE next meeting of the Light Electorate Men’s Wellbeing Network will be held at the Salvation Army Riverside Centre, Edith Street, Gawler on Wednesday, Feb-ruary 16 at 4pm.

The network was relaunched late last year after two events were held in Gawler in rec-ognition of International Men’s Day on No-vember 19, which was driven by Member for Light Tony Piccolo.

Mr Piccolo said the network was for ser-vice providers.

It aimed to “bring together people who work to provide support or services to men and boys with the view of improving access to and the quality of services provided to men and boys in the community”.

“If you or your organisation provide direct services to men and boys, you are most wel-come to attend the inaugural gathering and then decide whether you wish to join the net-work,” he said.

“At the first gathering, we will discuss how the network could operate to deliver the best possible outcomes for participants.”

On November 19, about 30 men across a wide age range gathered at Willo’s Men’s Shed at Willaston for the breakfast to discuss mental health and the rate of suicide in the construction industry.

Another event was held the previous night at the Salvation Army Riverside Centre.

University of Adelaide Professor Garry Wittert spoke about research undertaken by the Freemasons’ Foundation Centre for Male Health and Wellbeing at the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute and

the University of Adelaide.Professor Wittert also helped relaunch the

Gawler Men’s Wellbeing Network.At the breakfast, MATES in Construction

operations manager Bob Clifford spoke about the work being done to reduce the stigma of suicide and mental health in the construction sector.

Mr Clifford said the rate of suicide in Aus-tralia was three times more than the national road toll, with more than 3130 suicide deaths in 2020.

He said suicide was the leading cause of death for men in the 15-25-year-old bracket, with 190 construction workers taking their own lives each year on average.

“That is one person every second day in our industry takes their own life,” Mr Clif-ford said.

“…here in South Australia, we know that we lose one person a month. Last month we lost two, this month we have already lost two.”

Mr Clifford said construction workers were six times more likely to die from suicide than they were a workplace accident.

Established in 2008, MATES provides training to workers in suicide prevention.

It is planned to make the breakfast an annual event in partnership with Wil-lo’s Men’s Shed and other community organisations.

Anyone interested in becoming involved in the Gawler Men’s Wellbeing Network should contact Mr Piccolo’s office on 8522 2878 or email light@parliament. sa.gov.au.

LABOR candidate for King Rhiannon Pearce said One Tree Hill had been “over-looked” by the State Gov-ernment after missing out on the latest round of sport-ing grants.

Residents have long been calling for upgrades for to McGilp Recreation Park, with Playford Council being rejected twice for funding by the Office of Recreation, Sport and Racing.

Council had its first bid knocked back by the depart-ment but relodged its appli-cation for the latest round of infrastructure projects.

The recipients of the grants were announced last Mon-

day, with McGilp missing from the list.

Ms Pearce said the One Tree Hill community was “being taken for granted” by the government.

“The lack of change rooms and the state of the playing surface at McGilp is impact-ing participation rates across all of the codes located there,” she said.

“This is preventing clubs from taking advantage of the huge growth in women’s and girls’ participation, particu-larly in soccer and cricket.

“The One Tree Hill com-munity has waited too long enough for this upgrade.”

Last year, Labor committed $1.5 million towards an up-

grade of McGilp if it formed government in March.

Council has also set aside $850,000 to upgrade the re-

serve in its budget for the 2021-22 financial year, with a shovel-ready design al-ready completed.

The upgrade will deliver stormwater drainage im-provements, change rooms for the town’s soccer, cricket

and tennis clubs, an exten-sion to the oval and a BMX track. It is expected to cost about $3 million to complete.

One Tree Hill ‘misses out’

BRENDAN SIMPKINS

FOUR historic World War II storage sheds in Andrews Farm will be demol-ished to make way for a new housing estate, the developer behind the proposal has confirmed.

But two State Heritage-listed sheds will not be affected.

The sheds are on land running adjacent to Andrews Road and can be seen by passing motorists on the Northern Expressway.

The parcel of land has been bought by Victorian-based property developers Vil-lawood, which last year announced it would build a new development dubbed St An-drews on the site.

A Villawood spokesperson confirmed to The Bunyip last week that the four non-her-itage-listed buildings were planned for re-moval.

The sheds are some of the last remaining remnants of the Smithfield magazine area, a key player in the storage of explosives for Australia and the Allies during World War II.

In 1940, the Federal Government es-tablished a munitions construction plant

in Salisbury, with smaller storage sheds known as magazines established around Munno Para.

A railway line was built between the area and the plant in Salisbury, allowing for the transporting of explosives to and from.

After the war, explosives were still stored on-site until the mid-1960s, when the mag-azines were decommissioned.

Of the remaining structures, magazine 29 and 33 were listed on the State Heritage register in 1998.

Magazine 29 featured tunnels that al-lowed the trains to pull in and load or un-load explosives, with the tunnels still visi-ble today.

It was created to protect the neighbour-ing area from an explosion or enemy attack, with barriers placed around the perimeter.

Magazine 33 is a smaller storage facility a few metres away.

The four remaining buildings are also storage facilities that have since been con-verted for other purposes following decom-mission.

According to the St Andrews master plan, at least two of the locations occupied by the sheds will be repurposed as park space.

Wartime storage sheds set to be demolished

AN Elizabeth man nipped out of a work meeting on Tuesday last week to answer a call from The Lott confirming he had won $1 million in Monday’s X Lotto draw.

The winner held the only division one win-ning entry nationally in Monday & Wednes-day X Lotto draw 4146.

He told the caller: “Hang on, did you say you’re calling from The Lott? This must be good news then.

“I need to duck out of the office so I can talk properly. I was just in a meeting.

“I am shaking right now. Oh my God! I’m crying literal tears. This is amazing!”

The man said he did not know how he was going to be able to go back into the office and concentrate after finding out he was a million-aire.

“This will completely set me up for the fu-ture,” he said. I’ll buy my first house and a new car, and I’ll spoil my partner.

“I have to work today, but I’m not too sure if I’ll be able to work for the rest of the week.

“I’m a millionaire. I need to take some time off to let the news sink in.”

The man bought his six-game QuickPick entry online at thelott.com.

The winning numbers in Monday & Wednesday Lotto draw 4146 on Monday last week were 1, 8, 35, 27, 13 and 31, while the supplementaries were 4 and 5.

Local struggles to get back to work after $1m win


PLAYFORD

BRENDAN SIMPKINS

PLAYFORD Women’s Shed has been pulled back from the brink of collapse after an 11th-hour phone call helped secure its future.

The trailblazing group was fac-ing the possibility of folding after receiving notice last year it would have to relocate from its current premise by March.

But after an exhaustive search for a suitable space in the Playford Council region failed to bear any fruit, an unlikely home emerged.

The Shed will now call home at Lionsgate - the former manufactur-ing facility of Holden at Elizabeth –after the Pelligra Group donated an unused building at no cost for the first 12 months, after re-opening on Monday.

Women’s Shed ounder Rae-lene Wlochowicz said Pelligra had “saved” the venture from dissolv-ing.

“The cheapest place I found wanted $50,000 a year because they are commercial places, they want-ed their $30,000 outgoing and their

$20,000 rent, that’s without your utilities,” she said.

“It was looking very much like we were going to have to fold. (Pel-ligra) have saved us, and we are re-ally, really grateful for that.”

Opening in March 2020, the Shed moved into the former Para West Adult Campus in Davoren Park that had sat unused since the school re-located in 2015.

The space had been donated to the Shed for use by Evergreen since it was established.

A first of its kind for South Aus-tralia, the Shed provided a space for women to get together, learn a new skill and receive support for those in crisis situations.

The Shed, along with the help of Councillor Marilyn Baker, “turned over every stone” in Playford in the hopes of securing a new space.

Cr Baker said it was “absolutely fabulous” that a space was able to be secure after months of work.

She said that despite the difficul-ty in finding a location, there was never any intention for the group to move outside of the Playford area.

“It was absolutely vital (to find another location) because the wom-en, they flooded in here… because there just wasn’t a dedicated place for women,” she said.

“It is completely non-judge-mental, it doesn’t matter who you are, what you are, how you are or what your circumstances, they are all welcome here.”

Cr Clint Marsh came in at the tail-end of discussions but reached out to Pelligra regarding the possibility of providing aid.

Pelligra state general manag-er Steve Wren said the group was committed to developing the Play-ford area and this reaffirmed that

pledge. “We are not just about the dollar, we are about trying to give back and help out local communi-ties as well,” he said.

“When we heard about the Wom-en’s Shed plight, we thought the least we could do is offer them a home through a period of time.”

Their new premises are slight-ly smaller compared to the current site in Davoren Park, meaning some of the clothes and other items in the Shed’s op-shop will need to be moved on.

A moving sale is expected to be held in the courtyard of the Para West location on February 19.

Ms Wlochowicz thanked Crs

Baker and Marsh, as well as Cr Cathy-Jo Tame and Deputy Mayor Peter Rentoulis, for their support of the Shed and their efforts in assist-ing with the relocation.

She also thanked Evergreen for its initial support in providing the Shed with a space, as well as Luke and Paul Page from Peter Page Hyundai for its help in relocating.

Last year, the Commonwealth Bank provided the Shed with a $10,000 grant, while the state Labor Party has committed $120,000 to help the Shed if elected in March.

IMPROVED carparking, change rooms and netball courts are on the agenda for Argana Park after a master plan for the sporting complex was presented to Play-ford Council in December.

The popular Elizabeth Downs precinct is a staple for Playford’s sporting fabric with a number of codes using the facilities at the Elizabeth Downs park, including Elizabeth Football Club, Elizabeth Downs Soccer Club, Craigmore Cricket Club and Eliza-beth Netball Association.

Proposed to take place over seven stages, the upgrade – dentified as a high priority in council’s sportsground strategy – is set to cost $9.8 million and will address a number of issues raised by stakeholders.

Representatives from the clubs and sport-ing organisations have worked in tandem with elected members and council adminis-tration to develop the master plan.

Four elements have been addressed un-der the master plan, with about $3.5 mil-lion to spent on carparking, paths, lighting and road upgrades, $1.8 million on change room upgrades, $2.5 million on upgrading the netball courts and a futher $2 million on other improvements such as cricket nets and fencing.

The complex is in Playford’s fifth ward, and Councillor Akram Arifi said he was “pleased” to see the concerns of the clubs and representatives addressed.

“Due to the significant increase in partici-pation, the current facility does not meet the demand and clubs require additional change rooms to ensure their players have access to adequate facilities,” he said.

“The project has already got off to a fantastic start with the Craigmore Cricket Club recently being successful in obtaining a $30,000 Cricket Australia infrastructure grant to upgrade their cricket practice nets.

“This external funding will help council to bring forward the stage 5 works.”

The first stage will see the installation of lighting on the football and cricket oval with two additional light towers, allowing for greater usage and completing work al-ready done in 2016.

Carparking will be addressed in stage 2, with the change room and netball court up-grades to follow up.

The installation of cricket nets, a play-ground, and an upgrade for the Midway Road carpark and entrance round out the stages.

Only the sporting infrastructure elements of the master plan are eligible for State Government grant funding.

Other elements such as carparking and paths will need to be funded fully by coun-cil or could be the subject of state or federal election commitments.

$9.8m master plan for Argana Park

PLAYFORD Mayor Glenn Docherty has condemned the vandalism of a play-ground in Blakeview just a few weeks af-ter a second playground in the area was set alight.

Early last Tuesday morning, a playground on Cowley Street in Blakeview was deliberately set on fire, resulting in significant damage to the structure.

It was the second such incident to occur in the space of a three-week period, with the St Leonards Reserve Playground in Eliza-beth Downs also torched in the week before Christmas.

Mr Docherty said he was “annoyed” that two popular playgrounds had been largely destroyed, describing the acts as “senseless”.

“I utterly condemn the action of these vandals and urge anyone who has any in-formation on who is responsible to contact SA Police,” he said.

“The vandalism is costly for ratepayers and de-prives families of enjoying the play equipment, especially during the summer school holiday pe-riod.

“Both playgrounds have been bunted off to prevent access while council work to replace the damaged equipment.”

Mr Docherty said at this stage, the timeframe for reopening the two playgrounds was depen-dent on the availability of contractors.

Anyone or who has information that may assist is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or report on line at www.crimestopperssa.com.au. You can remain anonymous.

ONE of the best things about using Zoom to con-duct the Rotary Club of Gawler Light’s meetings is the ability to be engage with talented presenters from around the country who give members 30 minutes of their time speaking about their passions.

The club’s last meeting was a good example of that. Guest speaker was John Glassford, who, as a fellow Rotarian and a past district governor, was able to engage us in a man-ner that was very familiar to members.

John and his wife Susan, originally from Kenya, now live in Ganmain in central NSW.

John is a builder but deep within him lives an environ-mentalist keen to reduce the amount of energy consumed in building homes in Austra-lia.

John first became interest-ed in hay-bale homes when he was introduced to the concept through Australia’s Grass Roots magazine, which advocates sustainability and self-reliance.

He was so fascinated with building with straw that he travelled to the US to learn more from experts in Arizona and California. Learning as much as he could, he came back to Australia ready to change the way we looked at straw in the construction in-dustry.

John and Susan started conducting workshops teach-ing people how to make ener-gy-efficient homes out of nat-

ural products such as straw.The properties associated

with building houses such as this are cost-effective, safe, warm in winter and cool in summer, and soundproof.

Building homes out of straw and some of the pro-cesses are time-consuming and can be messy.

This was something that John and Susan had noticed. As a builder, John decided to tackle the construction of the walls from his new perspec-tive, developing a technique that has revolutionised the way buildings could be con-structed using hay.

His technique is called a super insulated tilt-up panel system (SITUPs). It involves building the walls off-site us-ing the building plans as the template and then transport-ing them to the site.

The frames consist of in-dividually framed and com-pressed hay walls sections, complete with bolts running through the frame to keep the walls secure.

All electrical conduits and termination boxes have been integrated into the walls off-site, simplifying the con-struction process.

Once assembled, the pan-els are sealed with paper and tape, which meant it was

easier to render, and more importantly, it protected they hay from the environment.

John’s company provides the SITUPs and the contract builders incorporate them into the building site.

A recent home build using the panels applied to have the house certified as a passive house, which means it does not leak air and allows for less use of heating and cool-ing.

The certified maximum for a passive house is 0.6 air changes over a given period – the SITUPs returned a mea-sure of 0.28, so it works well and is cost-effective.

A recent home was built in Ringwood in Melbourne. While houses using this sys-tem have mostly been ren-dered, this latest home chose cladding rather than render and it is an amazing looking building.

John and Susan’s website is glassford.com.au and they would be more than happy to chat with anyone interested in taking the journey to sus-tainability in building houses.

The Rotary Club of Gawl-er Light meets at the Gawl-er Arms each Tuesday at 7.30pm.

150 YEARS AGOFRAUDULENT POSSESSION…A man named Thomas Henneker, of Willaston, was arrested yesterday evening; charged with having in his possession four ten-pound notes given to him in mistake. It appears that Henneker having wages to receive from a neighboring farmer, the wife of the la� er gave the man four ten-pound notes instead of four ones.Henneker at fi rst denied the knowing that the notes were tens, but the having a� empted to get change for one of them at one of the Willaston hotels, led to his being, apprehended. He will be brought before the magistrates this morning.

ROTARY Club of Gawler members were saddened to learn of the death of former member and Bunyip photographer Peter Dibben.

Peter died on December 30, aged 69.The hardworking Rotarian was club pho-

tographer for many years.He was also the sergeant-at-arms and had

a vast assortment of amusing stories.In April 2004, more than 400 Rotarians

and partners plus dignitaries and overseas Rotary youth exchange students gathered at STARplex at Evanston Park for the Rotary district 9500 conference.

One of the keynote speakers was the

United States Ambassador to Australia, Tom Schieffer, a personal friend of Presi-dent George W. Bush.

On the day before the conference, the security team thoroughly checked out the venue, even climbing on the roof to check the airconditioning.

Security staff remained on site overnight and carried out further checks the next morning.

On the big day, security staff members patrolled the perimeter and were stationed at every entrance checking arrivals and en-suring that no one got too close to the am-bassador.

Peter Dibben, camera in hand, flashed

his Rotary membership card, said “press”, casually wandered past security and pro-ceeded to make a wonderful photographic record of the occasion.

Vale Peter. You will be sadly missed.The club’s dinner meeting on Monday

last week was cancelled because of the rap-id spread of the Omicron virus.

The board of directors has decided that in future, face-to-face meetings would be held whenever possible and that all those in attendance would need to show proof of immunisation.

The club will continue its planned pro-gram, keeping in mind the safety and well-being of all associated with Rotary.

Beautiful cottage in Gawler South

THE Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) has urged an inquiry into Austra-lia’s anti-money laundering and count-er-terrorism financing regime to deliver recommendations that target sophisticat-ed money launderers, without creating a financial burden on home buyers, tenants and real estate agencies.

Former REIA president Adrian Kelly said that from a market’s point of view, what was driving up high property prices was well documented.

“Low supply, high demand, high taxes, a greater demand for houses over units and un-certainty of vendors to list new properties cre-ated by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic are all major factors in the current market,” he said.

“The overwhelming majority of demand is being experienced domestically and by repa-triating Australians.”

Mr Kelly said he was pleased AUSTRAC and AFP had confirmed in their testimony to the Senate committee that there was no agreed evidence to correlate criminal activity to a strong property market.

When asked about their assessment on real estate risk, AUSTRAC noted only the poten-tial for unequal market in individual circum-stances.

“I just want to make the notation that it is important to recognise that the consequences sections of our risk assessment that are being done describe the potential impacts of activity, not necessarily the actual impact or what is oc-curring,” AUSTRAC’s Bradley Brown said.

“We note that widespread, concentrated real estate purchases with proceeds could drive prices up – and the word is could.”

Mr Kelly said expert testimony was unable to clarify the total size and scale of criminal buyers, and how many property transactions were being turned over with dark money.

“The inquiry heard that of the $187 million in assets seized by authorities in the 2021 fi-nancial year, $116 million was in real estate assets,” he said.

“Scale needs to be carefully considered.“To put this in context, the Australian

commercial sales market alone over this pe-riod recorded more than $50 billion in sales, and the residential sector recorded a massive 598,000 transactions.”

Mr Kelly said that the inquiry also con-firmed key issues creating undue burden on small business, estimating that the process itself of monitoring and reporting potential money launderers would have a potential cost range from $10,000 - $120,000 to implement.

“For Australian real estate agencies, we estimate these costs to sit around $50k per agency,” he said.

“If all the anticipated activities for Tranche Two reporting are implemented, the costs to the sector could easily reach the billions.

“As REIA, it is our job to defend against undue regulatory costs and fight for our members against draconian regulation that does not even advance the national interest.

“Monitoring and enforcement authorities also confirmed additional reporting would likely be of limited impact to intelligence and surveillance, if processed at all.

“We made it very clear to the Senate Com-mittee we stand ready to play our part in stamping out criminal activity and protecting our clients.

“A cost-benefit analysis led by the Com-monwealth would be needed to better qualify the cost to real estate agencies versus the pro-jected benefits of additional reform, and how additional reporting will actually detect more criminal activity.”

Laundering laws should consider impact on homebuyers – REIA

The inquiry heard that of the $187 million in assets

seized by authorities in the 2021 financial year, $116 million was in real estate assets. Scale needs to be carefully considered. - ADRIAN KELLY

Snakes alive this spring

BRENDAN SIMPKINS

THE weather is warming up

and snakes are starting to

become more active in the

region.

Breeding season is already

under way this spring, prompt-

ing a warning from a local

snake catcher and the State

Government to be alert for the

venomous creatures.

Michael “Mutchie” Mutch,

of Snake Catchers Adelaide,

said activity was already on

the up as they look for a mate.

Mutchie, who is also cap-

tain of Dalkeith Country fire

Service (CFS) Brigade, said

callouts had become more no-

COMMUTERS could desert the

Gawler rail line once electrification

is completed because of prolonged

delays, says Gawler Mayor Karen

Redman.

Her fears come after the results of

a public transport survey launched by

the town’s Youth Advisory Committee

(YAC) were released, showing many

young people had shunned substitute

buses set up while the rail project con-

tinues.The poll, launched by YAC’s youth

transport accessibility sub-commit-

tee in May, received 140 respons-

es that highlighted public trans-

port issues challenging the district’s

younger demographic.

Most of the respondents were between

13 and 25, with 67.9 per cent saying they

did not use the rail network.

A further 60.7 per cent said they did

not use the substitute bus service and

13.6 per cent had stopped using it.

Work on the much-delayed $715

million electrification project is not

expected to be completed until next

year.Ms Redman told The Bunyip com-

muters had been forced to find alter-

native methods to travel to Adelaide

because of the extended closure of the

Gawler line. “Given the length of time with the

electrification project, my concern is that

some commuters may not return to us-

ing the train when services resume,” she

said.“We have all been forced to find new,

quicker, and more convenient ways to

get to Adelaide.

“This has now become a regular, nor-

mal part of our lives and changing back

will be not be automatic.

“This is very disappointing as effi-

cient, accessible public transport is a

much more environmentally-friendly

way to get to Adelaide.

“The Northern Expressway is at

times packed with cars and trucks,

which is also a concern as it won’t

be that long into the future where

we will see traffic jams along this

important linkage.”Continued Page 2

LIGHT SWITCH MP bows out of Schubert showdown after boundary redraw backflip…

SARA GILLIGAN

LOCAL MP Tony Piccolo says he has “no regrets” running for the seat of Schubert despite unforeseen boundary changes keeping his heartland, Gawler, in the seat of Light.

Mr Piccolo announced his candidacy for Schubert in August after an Electoral Districts Boundaries Commission (EDBC) draft report proposed to split the region in two, moving more than 12,500 Light con-stituents into Schubert. However, in its final report released last

Wednesday, the EDBC had removed the Gawler localities from the final Schubert boundaries – with the Liberal-held seat to now encompass most of the Barossa Valley wine region. The reversal ended a battle between Mr Piccolo and former transport minister

Stephan Knoll before it could begin, as the seat’s margin of just 5.4 per cent would have offered an interesting playing field. Instead, Mr Knoll’s safe seat has become even safer, on 14.7 per cent.Continued on page 5

FROM lengthy supermarket and COVID-19 testing queues to a complete shutdown, life was put on pause last week in response to the coronavirus pandemic. While the lockdown was based on false information, health officials acted swiftly to combat the threat, and last week will go down in the history books as one to remember.

YOUNG families will benefit from upgrades to an Evanston South playground after a long-running grassroots campaign for improve-ments to “dangerous” equipment.

New equipment for the Aspire es-tate playground has been included as an “above-the-line” bid in Gawler Council’s draft budget for the next fi-nancial year.

Councillor Nathan Shanks moved to have the equipment included in the budget at a special council meeting on May 4.

The project has been allocated $40,000 in the budget, which includes $13,000 for management and contin-gency.

Residents in Aspire have been vo-cal about their needs for improve-ments in the area, with safety and a lack of promised infrastructure at the forefront.

Last year, residents Sarah Byrnes and Neil Banks raised their concerns with council, calling on developer Lanser Communities to finish a fitness hub and oval area that had been adver-tised as part of the land development.

The merger, which was publicly flagged

with a feasibility study in September, will

as Xavier College Evanston.

“This amalgamation provides a seamless

pathway from primary to secondary edu-

South Australian Commission for Catholic

the feasibility study into the merger with St

Brigid’s, with a committee comprising staff

from both schools and the Catholic Educa-

DEPUTY VOTE INVALIDBRENDAN SIMPKINS

GAWLER Council has been left

red-faced after a blunder scup-

pered its appointment of a Deputy

Mayor.

Councillor David Hughes was

appointed to the position at last

week’s council meeting but it was

later ruled invalid due to the re-

quired number of councillors not

present for the vote.

Mayor Karen Redman confirmed

to The Bunyip on Monday that the

vote was invalid because of the lack

of a quorum.Four elected members put their

hand up for the position, with Cr

Hughes eventually emerging from

the pack following a ballot.

But council was unable to form a

quorum because Cr Jim Vallelonga

departed the chamber early and Cr

Paul Little was on leave.

Current Deputy Mayor Brian

Sambell and councillors Cody Da-

vies, Hughes and Little nominated

for the position. The three nominees

who were present at the November

23 meeting vacated the chamber

for the vote after declaring material

conflicts, leaving just five elected

members present.Continued Page 3

SAM BRADBROOK

GAWLER River farmers have been told to brace for potential flooding in October and Novem-ber, forcing late changes to pro-ducers’ planting plans. The Bunyip understands farmers

have been told over recent weeks to make plans for a possible flooding event, with the Bureau of Meteorol-ogy forecasting a wetter-than-nor-mal October and November. In September 2016, floodwaters inundated the Gawler township and caused around $50 million in crop damage along the river in what

was considered a once-in-a-decade flooding event. Virginia farmer Dino Musolino saw much of his land flooded in 2016 and he, along with many other growers, are still feeling the effects. The flooding threat has seen him abort plans to plant crops in low-ly-ing land prone to flooding, mean-

ing he will need to spend time and money reconditioning used soil on higher land. “Where we were ready to plant this week into a low-lying area that was flooding in 2016, we’ve now changed our plan,” Mr Musolino said.

“We’re going to do some initial

soil conditioning to plant our crops on the high land and go back to that lower land after that risk period. “It’s much more expensive be-cause we now need to recondition the soil, whereas normally with resting the soil it conditions itself.”Continued page 5

SANDY Creek made light work of Gilbert Valley on day two of their Barossa & Light Cricket As-sociation A1 contest on Saturday, bowling out the Bulls twice to win outright by an inning and 38 runs.

After posting a score of 168 for the visiting Gilbert Valley to chase, the Bulls kicked off day two at 3/9, and the batsmen never found a rhythm.

Gilbert Valley captain Andrew Bruce (25 from 28 deliveries) was the only player to score more than five runs as the away side was dis-missed for 52.

Rhys Handtke (5/20 with six maidens from 17 overs) and Josh Colbourne (3/25 from six overs) tore through the line-up, allowing Sandy Creek to enforce the fol-low-on.

The second time around was nearly identical to the first, with three quick wickets falling to have Gilbert Valley at 3/11.

While James Vandeleur (41 from 80 deliveries) put together a solid score, only one of his teammates was able to score more than six runs.

For the Cockatoos, the second

innings was a more balanced bowl-ing effort, with four players taking at least two wickets each, led by Handtke. He snared 3/15 from nine overs to finish with match figures of 8/35 from 26 overs.

Blues cruise past Light Pass total

Angaston also came away with an outright win after claiming the first innings points on day one, and sending Light Pass back in to bat as soon as possible.

Light Pass survived for 61 overs to score 148, thanks in large part to Danny Kaye’s 47 from 61 deliver-ies, leaving Angaston with a target of 144 to chase in limited overs after Ben Antonie (4/43 from 14.2 overs) led the way with the ball.

Angaston played with the pedal to the floor, with Jack Henke (55 from 45), Scott Rathjen (45 not-out from 41) and Greg Bain (31 from 28) de-livering the Blues an outright win after passing the target in the 24th over.

Greenock unable to grab outright win

Greenock had its sights set on an

outright result after pulling off the first-innings win before stumps on day one, but Lyndoch’s batsmen were much more prepared when sent in a second time.

Nathan Goulding (62 from 104 deliveries) and Matthew Robin-son (45 from 41) showed that the Dockers weren’t going to be pushed around on the second day.

They racked up a score of 6/178 before sending Greenock back to the crease for a chance at a rare re-verse outright.

However, it wasn’t to be.Greenock was able to safely ma-

noeuvre the last 35 overs of the day, reaching stumps at 6/81 as Lyndoch bowlers Matthew Robinson (3/15 from eight overs) and Micah Linke (2/13 from nine overs) found some form.

Lions collapses against Nuriootpa

South Gawler was the only side to not bowl out its opposition on last week’s first day of action, and the second day was no prettier for the Lions, getting bowled out for 53 to go down against Nuriootpa by 150 runs.

It was a horrid start for the visit-

ing side as Nuriootpa’s Rhys Lacey (3/6 with four maidens from seven overs) took the game by the scruff of the neck, dismissing the Lions’ top three batsmen for a combined four runs to have South Gawler at 3/11 just a few overs in.

Jarrod Kroon tried to steady the ship at number-four, scoring a team-high 31 from 72 deliver-ies, but he was the only Lion to reach double figures as eight of his teammates fell for three or fewer runs.

Mitch Norton carried the biggest

workload for the Nuri bowling at-tack, taking 3/20 to go with five maidens from his 15 overs, while Travis Jungfer starred in a limited role, taking 3/2 with two maidens from three overs.

South Gawler was forced to fol-low on in an effort to avoid an out-right result, and its batsmen played much steadier games to see out the remaining 38 overs.

Kroon top-scored again in the second innings, finishing on 62 not-out from 84 deliveries as South Gawler reached 4/135 at stumps.

TRURO’S Callum Munchenberg stole the show in Saturday’s Barossa & Light Crick-et Association reserves action, almost chas-ing down Greenock’s first innings score of 152 by himself.

Munchenberg made his way to the crease with his side at 2/12, and went on to score 149 runs, with nine of his 19 boundaries travelling over the rope on the full, delivering his side a seven-wicket win on the way to a total of 8/289.

To the Schlungers’ credit, they batted well after being sent back in for 24 overs to defend against an outright, getting on the front foot and finding some form through Rhys Jenke (44 from 52 deliveries), Graham Nitschke (39 not-out from 47) and Jack Robinson (28 not-out from 24) to reach the end of play at 2/137.

It was a thrilling finish at Hamley Bridge, with Sandy Creek’s bowlers rising to the oc-casion late to pull out an unlikely two-run victory.

Chasing 188, Hamley Bridge was cruis-ing thanks to a 130-run partnership between Hayden Bubner (74 from 125 deliveries) and Kynon Hewitt (69 from 76) carrying the home side from 3/33 to 3/163, but when Bub-ner fell, the wheels fell off.

Hewitt fell the next over, before 3/163 be-came 9/168 in the blink of an eye as Jamie Sibbick wreaked havoc on his way to figures of 6/41 with four maidens from his 14 overs.

Hamley Bridge number-11 Sam Collings fought bravely, surviving with Dale Norman

(10 not-out from 43 deliveries) until Sibbick struck with only two runs required for a draw, giving him the last five wickets of the match, with the last four all being clean bowled.

Incredibly, that wasn’t even the closest match in the division, as Angaston fell one agonising run short of Kapunda’s 162 total as Joseph Brown (1/27 from eight overs) found the crucial winning wicket with the Blues trapped on 161.

Five Angaston players reached double fig-ures in a well-balanced chase, led by Liam Sibley’s 44 from 49 deliveries, while Lach-lan Mickan was Kapunda’s best with the ball, taking 3/28 with three maidens from eight overs.

Gawler Central’s game against Freeling became a one-dayer after weather prevented action from getting underway on day one, with Freeling winning the toss, opting to bat and coming away with a 24-run win.

Freeling’s heavy lifting was done by Aus-tin Poulton (69 from 91 deliveries) and Ian McMillan (54 from 56), combining for 123 of their side’s 170 total runs, with no other player scoring more than nine.

Luke King starred with the ball for Gawler Central, removing both opening batsmen on his way to figures of 5/20 from eight overs.

Chasing, Gawler Central got off to a rotten start, losing its top four batsmen for a com-bined 11 runs to leave a mountain of work for the middle order.

Captain Chris Bilney batted well, scoring 45 from 40 deliveries, and was supported well by Jack Mercer (21 from 30) and Mark Good

(21 from 54), but the Tigers ran out of wickets on 146 with four overs remaining.

Rounding out the A2 action, Eudunda-Rob-ertstown had no issues gobbling up Wil-laston’s 128 total, cruising past it with overs and wickets to spare to win by six wickets behind solid contributions from Samuel Niet-schke (45) and Blake Launer (42).

In the lower grades, the most eye-catch-

ing batting performance came from Gawler Central’s Brad Hunt, who ended up getting stumped on 95 from 80 deliveries after open-ing the batting.

With the ball, Long Plains’ Bradley Boehm produced match-winning figures of 6/32 with five maidens from 18 overs to help his side successfully defend a lowly total of 116, holding on to win by two runs.

ROUND one of the SACA 150 Cup was contested on Saturday, commemorating 150 years of SACA competition, with lo-cal B&LCA and PDCA sides Sandy Creek, Eastern Park, Angaston, Angle Vale and Two Wells making up the five-team Barossa & Northern Conference.

The competition is played under T20 format, with back-to-back games on Sunday mornings.

Eyre Sports Park hosted the opening day’s play, with Angle Vale versus Sandy Creek and Eastern Park versus Two Wells kicking off the action at 10am.

It was an impressive showing all day from Sandy Creek, starting with an eight-wicket win after holding Angle Vale to 6/122 from its 20 overs.

Harrison Pringle (2/13 from four overs) was the only bowler to take multiple wickets in the game, while his teammates and Sandy Creek A1 guns Dylan Hoppo (73 from 57 deliveries) and Riley Greenlees (16 not-out from 24) guid-ed the Cockatoos home safely in the 16th over.

Hoppo would be outplayed in the early win-

dow by just one batsman, Two Wells’s Max Gray, who scored 80 not-out from 62 deliveries to help his side beat Eastern Park by 23 runs.

In the 2pm timeslot, Angaston had its first game and was handed the ball first after losing the toss to Two Wells.

Two Wells’s decision to bat would prove costly, with Angaston patiently pacing itself to chase down the 8/124 target with just three balls remaining in the contest.

The last game of the day saw the highest scoring, with Eastern Park winning the toss and opting to bat against Angle Vale.

Behind solid contributions from opening pair Ethan Wood (44 from 31 deliveries) and Ri-ley Bushell (28 from 34), Eastern Park scored 7/167, with Angle Vale’s best bowler Kaid-en Christensen proving costly despite taking wickets, finishing with 3/28 from three overs.

In response, Angle Vale opener Matthew Ramsey scored a gutsy 50 from 57 deliveries, but couldn’t get the run-rate where it needed to be. Angle Vale ran out of time on 5/160 to lose by seven runs.

Round two of the SACA 150 Cup will be played at both Sandy Creek and Angaston Oval on Sunday.

WITH 20 minutes to go before stumps on day two of the final Ashes day-night Test in Ho-bart – with the pink ball doing U-turns in the night air off a ten-nis court-like pitch – the in-form Usman Khawaja gloves one to the wicketkeeper.

So what does the Aussie skipper Pat Cummins do?

Just like just about every cap-tain throughout the long and glo-rious history of cricket has done, he sends in a hapless nightwatch-man to get the side through until stumps, and to “protect” a more established and recognised bats-man from having to face this chal-lenging position at the end of a full day’s play.

The supporting philosophical thinking is that, in this difficult position, about all that can be achieved is getting out – so, who is the lucky bloke to get the job?

Of course, it will be a lower-or-der batter, primarily picked in the team for his bowling – for which he needs his fingers in good shape, to perform his art.

Therefore, why not send out our new recently crowned national hero, Scott Boland (who batted at No.11 in the first innings) to face the music and protect the batting elite. The nightwatchman deci-sion never considers the risk of Boland – or whichever unfortunate batter it could have been – being clattered by a small pink missile travelling at 140km/h-plus on the hands and fingers.

Well, on this occasion, Boland hit the jackpot.

The Victorian faced 25 deliver-ies, copping painful blows to his

upper thighs and, more signifi-cantly, the fingers on both hands, while surviving through until stumps.

Afterwards, buckets of ice would have been applied and hopefully all will be well.

In most cases that is the case, but despite the long history of the use of nightwatchmen, is it worth the risk?

Does it make any degree of log-ical sense?

Consider the scenario where a team, having dismissed its oppo-sition, is left with an extremely challenging 20-minute session to bat until stumps.

As a former opening batsman, I know that from repeated experi-ence, there is no way that the two

“openers” are not called upon to go out and face the music.

They are openers – but they are also, supposedly at least, among the elite batters of the team.

So why not attempt to protect them from the upcoming 20-min-ute onslaught?

Basically, the current logic is that if you bat at No.1 or No.2, then out you go.

You can be sacrificed, but if you bat at Nos. 3, 4 or 5, the risk is not worth taking.

More often than not, however, the situation is made a total farce when the nightwatchman, having survived a few balls and milked the clock down a few minutes, is dismissed, before – surprise, sur-prise – with less time to go before

stumps and with literally every-thing to lose, out trots the precious No.3 who was being protected by the nightwatchman in the first place.

Surely if the No.3 was consid-ered worth protecting, he should again be protected by a second nightwatchman? It makes abso-lutely no sense whatsoever.

Other than whatever is going on in the batter’s head, there is no dif-ference between a batter facing the first ball of a day’s play, the first ball bowled after a break or after a wicket falls, or a ball bowled with-in a short period before the end of a day’s play.

Surely a “gun” batter is – or should be – far better equipped both skilfully and mentally to han-dle these batting scenarios than a bowler who can “bat a bit”?

GAWLER Rangers had a poor fielding effort in a 3-16 loss against East Torrens at Karbeethan Reserve on Saturday in division two base-ball, though some club history was created when the father-son O’Han-dley duo took the field together for the first time.

Ryan O’Handley, who took over the coaching duties after Mike McClarty retired in November, has not played a game in almost a decade, but is a for-mer A-grade MVP at the Rangers.

Sons Morris and Daniel are mem-bers of the A-grade team, so with the unavailability of several players due to forced COVID-19 isolation, Ryan started at first base, with Morris at centre-field and Daniel at second base.

As for the game, a courageous start-ing effort on the mound by pitcher Josh Lands was wasted as the field let him down.

The Rangers conceded two runs after three errors in the first inning, while a second-inning error went un-punished.

In the bottom of the second, Daniel O’Handley walked, Jake Rodda was hit by a pitch, and Rhys Argent col-lected a RBI single, as Gawler cut the deficit back to one.

But those woeful fielding blunders continued in the third frame, as East Torrens scored four unearned runs on

another two errors. After three innings on the mound, Lands had basically been denied two full frames of outs, and while he should have been re-warded with a 0-1 lead after five digs, he was instead 6-1 down and tiring.

The game was put out of reach when East Torrens started to get on top of Lands, scoring five runs in the fourth to force a pitching change on the Rangers.

While it was too little, too late – Gawler did start to find some form late in the piece, which it will hope to carry into this weekend’s home game against Port Adelaide.

Trailing by 15 runs, Gawler’s Ar-gent singled, Morris O’Handley walked, and, after the next two batters were retired, Leighton Mells smashed a long hit to centre-field for a two-run triple.

The lack of depth at the club in se-nior ranks seems to be a negative, as Gawler’s division three side is con-sistently well beaten, and lost 0-22 to East Torrens on Saturday.

While the beatings are tough, a

large group of juniors – with many coming from last season’s under 15s – are getting invaluable experience at a higher level, and if they can stick it out, will provide a solid foundation for an exciting future for the club.

Gawler’s division eight team, which is the club’s most competitive senior side this season, fought valiant-ly before going down 5-9 against East Torrens.

Of note, relief pitcher Mitch Eiffe was solid in his two innings of work, shutting the dangerous Redsox hitters down for no runs. With the bat, Ethan Pike, Brenton Pike, Link Ryan and Richard Stirling collected multiple hits.

Division two: Gawler Rangers | East Torrens 3-16 (hits: Rhys Argent 2, Josh Lands, Noah Okeil, Leighton Mells, Blaze Hurst)Division three: Gawler Rangers | East Torrens 0-22 (hits: Daniel O’Handley)Division eight: Gawler Rangers | East Torrens 5-9 (hits: Ethan Pike 2, Brenton Pike 2, Link Ryan 2, Richard Stirling 2, Mitch Eiffe)

BOWLERS were on top all Saturday morning as Wil-laston travelled to Tanun-da for a Barossa & Light Cricket Association un-der-15 T20 clash.

After winning the toss and choosing to bat, Willaston could never put a solid part-nership together as wickets fell early and often.

Riley Nottle top-scored for Willaston with 16 not-out, while his closest teammate, opener Butch Ricciardi, was dismissed for nine.

Noah Schulz (2/10 from four overs) and William Hansen (2/5 from two overs) were the main wicket-takers for Tanunda, with Schulz go-ing on to play a big role with the bat as well.

Schulz would score a match-high 32 not-out from 32 deliveries to guide his side to a four-wicket win, despite the best efforts of Willaston’s Lincoln O’Malley (3/6 from two overs) and James Power (2/4 from three overs).

In Nuriootpa, Nuriootpa/Eudunda and Light Pass/Greenock picked up on day two of their match, with the latter needing to chase down a score of 84 to win.

Opener Zachary Gripton made things easy for his side, scoring 30 not-out from 60 deliveries to set the table for a comfortable chase, winning by six wickets with plenty of overs to spare.

In Angaston, the Blues produced an impressive team performance to successfully chase Sandy Creek’s 124 to-tal with three wickets in hand.

Six Angaston batsmen scored at least 11 runs, led by James Noack’s 30 from 34 deliveries.

In Friday night’s under-17s play, Eudunda/Kapunda/GV opening batsman retired un-beaten on 50 from 56 deliv-eries as he guided his side to a seven-wicket triumph away at South Gawler after holding the Lions to a score of 68 on day one.

The other two under-17s contests were played as T20s, with Sandy Creek hand-

ing Nuriootpa/Light Pass a three-wicket loss, while An-gaston comfortably handled the Greenock challenge to win by eight wickets.

For Sandy Creek, Ryan Sibbick (48 from 19 deliv-eries) and Will O’Brien (26 from 28) led the way, tak-ing two wickets each with the ball and finishing as the Cockatoos’ top scorers.

In Angaston, Liam Falken-berg was the Blues’ only multiple wicket-taker, finish-ing with figures of 2/14 from his three overs, while Tyrell Burgess (48 not-out from 35 deliveries) and Marley Har-vey (44 from 47) carried the load with the bat.

TRINITY Old Scholars’ mid-table Adelaide Turf Cricket Associa-tion A1 side played host to sec-ond-placed Woodville South on Saturday, and was put to the sword by one of the visiting openers.

After winning the toss and choos-ing to bat first, Woodville South opener Joshua Hoffman began to put together an innings to remem-ber.

Despite wickets falling around him, Hoffman piled up 162 runs from 184 deliveries, including hit-ting eight sixes. He would finish with 136 more runs than his closest teammate.

Hoffman was eventually clean bowled by Thomas Clements, who finished with team-best figures of 4/57 from his 16 overs, while Ardene Ruhode was also solid, taking 3/44 from 12.5 overs, in-cluding the final wicket to reach the end of play with the visitors on 278.

Trinity will begin its chase this Saturday.

In B1, Trinity won the toss and decided to have a bat on Pulteney Old Scholars’ wicket, and despite losing opener Grady Hudd for a duck, the TOSers went on to post a competitive score.

There were solid contributions from opener Matthew Bailey (31

from 55 deliveries) and num-ber-three Brad Cameron (31 from 73), and while Harry Collins pro-duced a handy 33 from 94, six of the opening nine TOSers to the crease combined for a lowly 20 runs.

Needing the tail to wag, Lau-rence Spasojevic delivered, scoring 54 not-out from 56 deliveries after coming in at number 10 with the score on 8/107, salvaging a poten-tial winning score as Trinity was eventually bowled out for 180.

With 10 overs before stumps, Trinity took advantage, taking two wickets courtesy of Brad Matter and Bailey Puvogel to reach the end of play with Pulteney on 2/15.

Old Scholars lose day one as opener scores 162

EASTERN Park posted one of the biggest local cricket scores of the season on Sat-urday when it comfortably raced past Virginia’s day one total of 162 in Para Dis-trict Cricket Association’s top grade.

Eastern Park opener Luke Morris was terrific, almost outscoring Virginia on his own on the way to a total of 155, with three sixes among his 26 boundaries.

Morris eventually fell to leave his side at 7/245, but they were far from finished.

Coming in at numbers nine and ten, Christopher Knapp (101 not-out) and Nathan McIver (58 not-out) took the opportunity to find some form, putting to-gether an unbeaten 159-run partnership to reach the end of play with their side on 8/419.

Nathan Warren bowled ad-mirably for Virginia, finish-ing with eye-popping figures of 4/119 with 13 maidens from 34 overs of work.

In Angle Vale, there was a capitulation from the top order as it was tasked with

chasing Salisbury West’s meagre total of 139, proving no match for Salisbury bowl-er Justin Davies.

Angle Vale’s top six bats-men combined for a total of 15 runs, with Andrew Car-man’s 73 making him the only Angle Vale batsman to score more than nine runs on the way to a disappointing 36-run loss, bowled out for 103.

For as poor as Angle Vale’s batsmen were, Justin Davies was nearly flawless for Salisbury West, prov-ing nearly unplayable on his way to figures of 8/35 with 11 maidens from his 23.4 overs.

In Dublin, the home side dominated throughout to take a convincing outright win against Central United.

Carrying a 46-run lead into the second innings, with a first innings win already se-cured on day one, Dublin’s bowling attack stayed at the top of its game to again remove Central United for a double figure score, dis-missed on 82.

Tyson Richard (4/25 with five maidens from 12 overs) and Luke Puddy (3/14 from three overs) did most of the damage with the ball for the hosts, leaving Dublin need-

ing 37 runs to secure the out-right.

To Central United’s credit, its bowlers refused to con-cede the game and contin-ued to battle hard, taking six

wickets before Dublin even-tually limped across the fin-ish line.

In the lower grades, the top batting performance came from Athelstone’s Ben

Round in LO 5 competition, running up a score of 163 not-out in his side’s 40-over win against North Pines.

With the ball, Craigmore bowler Ethan Cluse could do

no wrong in his side’s LO 6 clash against Eyre Royals, taking 7/20 from just eight overs to dismiss the Royals for a total of 36, including six ducks.

Morris and Davies have days to remember

AFTER a poor performance last week, Gawler’s Saturday division two Metropolitan Bowls Associa-tion team showed good character with a fighting two-shot win over higher-ranked Port Noarlunga.

In a tight and tense struggle com-ing down to the last bowl of the day, it was a morale-boosting win that keeps Gawler clear of the relegation zone.

With all rinks fluctuating be-tween a couple of shots up or down all day, it was the four of Terry Haycock, Teresa Dean, Phil Mars-den and Darren Hunter who pulled away late in the match to post the 10-shot victory that got the side over the line.

Gawler’s division four team fell by 13 shots against Semaphore, but still managed to hang on to its spot in the top-four.

Ian Dinham, Bob Gillies, Phil Parker and skipper Darrell Turner took their rink by six shots to score Gawler’s only points of the day, although Ernie Clifton’s lads got close to go down 20-18.

Returning to home green this week, this side should get the job done against eighth-placed Play-ford, who won’t enjoy the quicker, wider Gawler surface.

Gawler’s division fives continued their relentless push up the ladder with a comprehensive 36-shot win over top-four rival Prospect Broad-view.

Taking three of the four rinks by big margins, the 14 points scored sees Gawler move into third spot, only five points adrift of sec-ond-placed Para Hills.

The fours of Shirley Branson (11 up) and Peter Cousins (15 up) were good, but the big winner was the four of Ian Goodrich, Matt May, Barry Bradbrook Sr and skipper Jim Beacham, who took their rink by an impressive 19 shots.

Top-four side Salisbury White was too good at home for Gawler’s division six team, running out com-fortable 25-shot winners.

Graham Hiney, Pat Shepherdson, Lorraine Pearson and Kym Higgins grabbed their rink to bank the team two points, as attention now turns to this week’s contest, at home to sec-ond-placed Hope Valley.

On Thursday, falling by 13 shots to bottom side Grange sees Gawl-er’s division one ladies’ finals aspi-rations take a hit.

Unable to win a rink, and sub-sequently going pointless for the match, Gawler now finds itself 16 points adrift of Semaphore and the top-four.

Although returning to home green this week, the division one side has a tough task against second-placed West Lakes, who have only dropped two games this season.

Continuing it’s up and down season – and in a remarkable performance – Gawler’s division three team was too classy for top-placed Salisbury, fin-ishing the day 13 shots up.

Despite losing a rink by 21 shots, the other two rinks more than made up for the deficit.

Wendy Wright’s crew was strong with a 15-shot win, and the four of Peter Houghton, Lorraine Cram, Marlene Heffernan and Sandie Rag-gio turned it on to scorch their op-ponents with a 31-7 score line.

The team now has an opportuni-

ty for back-to-back wins this week with another home game against lower-ranked Hope Valley.

AFTER losing its position in sec-ond-placed of Barossa & Light Bowl-ing Association’s Saturday division one ladder, Nuriootpa snatched it right back this week with a strong 102-83 away win at Eudunda.

Despite the lopsided final score, the two sides split the rinks 2-2, but while Eudunda’s two winning rinks came by a combined margin of three shots, the Nuriootpa crews skippered by Geoffrey Langley and Stuart Allen both produced 11-shot wins.

For Nuriootpa to reclaim its position as the main challenger to Angaston, Kapunda had to slip up, and it did so, proving it is currently no match for the league-leaders as Angaston ran away with a dominant 132-64 smacking.

The top side won all four rinks, scoring at least 31 shots in three of them, with the best rink coming from the four of Bruce Field, Joshua Turai, Kate Argent-Bowden and Liam Buckley (38-9).

After a gutsy upset win last round, bottom-ranked Mount Pleasant almost

pulled off another upset away at Tanun-da, narrowly falling 96-100.

The sides shared the rinks with two apiece, but the Tanunda four of Jeffrey Garrett, Peter Giersch, David Martin and Tony Edwards won their side the match with a 34-23 frame.

Rounding out the division one action, fourth-placed Lyndoch maintained the two-game gap between the top-four and the chasing field with a 106-79 away win at Freeling.

Freeling fought well, winning two rinks, but Lyndoch’s two wins were much bigger, with Wayne Williams’ four producing a 38-22 result, while Joshua Geier’s crew won 34-15.

In division two, Angaston held onto its narrow lead atop the ladder with a 74-59 win against Lyndoch, but has Tanunda and Kapunda breathing down its neck – less than a full game be-hind – after safe wins against Nuriootpa and Mount Pleasant respectively.

In division three, Tanunda and Nuri-ootpa have emerged as the class of the competition, sharing a 9-3 record while no other team has more than seven wins.

Tanunda made light work of win-less Mount Pleasant, winning 88-32, while Nuriootpa won all four rinks against fourth-placed Kapunda in a 71-49 triumph.

GAWLER harness trainer Aaron Bain’s sensational start to 2022 continued on Saturday.

For consecutive weeks Bain pre-pared two winners at the Globe Der-by Park meeting.

Perhaps more importantly, star pacer Spirit of St Louis – which he part-owns – took out a Victorian Group 2 race.

Last week, Spirit of St Louis led throughout to win the $70,000 Bendigo Cup, giving him a great preparation going into Saturday, where driver Jack Callaghan had to use a bit more initiative to land the $60,000 Shepparton Cup, defeating glamour pacer Lochinvar Art.

At Globe Derby Park, in-form Morningstar Gold followed up his victory from a week earlier while The Big Yin won his first race for Bain.

Spirit of St Louis – which Aaron Bain Racing shares ownership with a number of other South Austra-lians – was brilliant in winning his second consecutive feature country cup.

A $5.50 chance, the ex-New Zea-lander, trained in Sydney by Belin-da McCarthy, drew clear to win the Shepparton Cup by three-and-a-half metres from Lochinvar Art ($1.90 favourite) with Western Sonador ($41), nearly eight metres away third.

In winning, Spirit of St Louis rat-ed 1:55.6 for the 2690 metre jour-ney.

Driver Jack Callaghan made the winning move when he came mid-race to sit outside the leader, but soon got cover when Lochinvar Art came around to take that spot.

In the run home, with a strong fitness base, Spirit of St Louis ran down the boom pacer to score.

“He’s a genuine Grand Circuit horse,” Callaghan said.

“He’s only a wee little fella, but his heart is the size of himself.

“He’ll either head to the Ballarat Cup next week or the Casey Classic at Melton the week after.”

Bain said Spirit of St Louis was giving him a fantastic ride.

“To have a share in a horse com-peting at the top level is very excit-ing, and for him to win, is the ulti-mate,” Bain said.

“I’m also enjoying the run of our team here in Adelaide.

“Morningstar Gold is in great

form, and his effort to come from last was brilliant.”

The seven-year-old Morningstar Gold, driven by Samantha Pascoe, was easy in betting as it drifted from $1.50 to start as the $2 favou-rite, but defied the market to win the Garrards Horse & Hound Pace (1800m) by more than five metres from Celestial Daybreak ($26) with Major Reason ($7.50), a head away third.

That win qualifies Morningstar Gold for an $8000 final this Satur-day.

Stablemate Arco, which finished fourth in the race, has already qual-ified for an $8000 Mares final this week.

Bain’s other winner was The Big Yin, which led throughout to win the TAB Venue Mode Pace (1800m).

Backed from as much as $14 to start $4.60, The Big Yin, driven by Wayne Hill, scored a head-win from Thiswaytothebeach ($5.50) with Tiddly Winx ($4) a similar margin away third.

Bain said he was pleased to see the five-year-old victorious.

“When he arrived at our stable from Victoria, he was ready for a break and to be built up,” he said.

“We gave him a good break and enjoyed his time away from train-ing.

“He is a genuine horse who gives

his best, and I’m pleased that he is also building up his frame.”

Bain, who also has taken out a thoroughbred trainer’s licence, is hoping to have his first starter at Port Lincoln this Friday.

“I have a horse called Malaise which is ready to race and there is a suitable race at Port Lincoln. It is very exciting,” he said.

Globe Derby Park will host a number of feature races at a meet-ing celebrating South Australia’s Breeders, Owners and Trainers As-sociation this Saturday.

The Minor Derby Free-For-All and Fred Jones Trotters Cup will attract South Australia’s best stan-dardbreds.

IT was a unique afternoon at the Gawler Greyhound Racing Club on Wednesday, with a dedicated and enthusiastic group of young owners venturing to the track to watch greyhound Helmet Giblet race.

This group of owners, led by Keaton Bond, have attended every race start wearing hel-mets to cheer on their dog.

Helmet Giblet has done a majority of his racing in Victoria, but made his South Austra-lian debut back in November.

It took him five attempts, but on Wednesday he finally got up for a victory, running over the top of the early leaders in the concluding stages in a time of 23.17 from box eight.

His start before that was a big improve-ment, running second behind Pepperjack in his first start for new trainer Vadim Roz, who has managed to score a win and a placing in the two starts that he has had the greyhound.

When Helmet Giblet crossed the line in first place, the roar from the men in helmets was deafening trackside.

On Sunday night, the Gawler track host-ed the running of the Golden Maiden Series Heats.

There were two heats run over 531 metres,

with a majority of both fields being first-start-ers.

The first heat was won by Willow, for lead-ing state trainer Tony Rasmussen.

Willow didn’t lead initially, but showed great strength around the home bend to run over the top of the early leaders and post a time of 31.25.

Ray Murray struck in the second heat when his greyhound Air Pumbaa won by two lengths, clocking a solid time of 31.48.

The final of the Golden Maiden Series will be contested on Sunday night at Gawler.

Spectators are encouraged to book a table trackside at Nixon’s Function Centre to save your spot and experience an action-packed night of greyhound racing action.

Hats off to Helmet’s band of supporters

Continued from back page“Compared to how relaxed I am

batting in juniors, I’m just so much more nervous in the seniors.

“I go out there a little shaky knowing how much faster it is, and how much tighter the bowling is, and of course you don’t want to get hit with a cricket ball going that fast or get out cheaply.

“I ended up getting dropped back to the A3s, but made a good 60 and was put back with the ones heading into last year, where we won the premiership.”

Things started to click for Kohl-hagen in that premiership year, and he was rewarded with a move up the order.

“I played with the ones all the way through that premiership sea-son,” he said.

“I started at number eight, and then worked my way up to five with a few players losing some form.

“I made a few 30s and finally had some time in the middle, and it real-

ly helped me find some confidence and belief that I belong at the level.

“First game of the new sea-son, freshly promoted to A1s, and the coach and captain let me know they want to test me out at number three.

“Of course I jumped at the oppor-tunity – the year before I’d always wanted a shot up the order – so I went out there against a good side in Tanunda and, probably with a bit of luck, found some confidence early in the innings and worked my way to 42.

“Then of course the next game I went out and got out cheaply, sky-ing one on 12.”

Now splitting his time between under-17s on Friday nights and A1s on Saturday afternoons, Kohlhagen said he actually prefers facing the A1 bowlers these days.

“I’m definitely more nervous in the seniors, but I think it’s a good thing because I’m a lot more watchful and careful,” he said. “In

juniors when I’m out there with no nerves, I’m just not as switched on early in the innings because I feel safer, and my timing just isn’t per-fect because I’m used to the ex-tra pace and bounce, so I get out from being caught near the rope or just mistiming things a little bit.

“Also, when the loose ball comes, I definitely prefer the pace.”

While he is excelling in his crick-et, Kohlhagen admitted he finds football the more enjoyable sport, and is looking forward to a full season with Angaston in the win-ter while he completes his year 12 studies.

“I recently stopped playing down at Centrals – I’d done a state camp with footy previously – but it’s just a lot on my body, and a lot of pres-sure to perform down there on the training track during the week in summer and come back to cricket on Saturdays,” he said.

“I don’t regret leaving Centrals

– it’s definitely a lost opportunity – but hopefully I can make another opportunity through cricket, or even go back to footy in a couple of years to take it seriously,

“I think I lost some form in footy playing at Centrals as well – you think you’d had a good game, and

then you see your stats and you only had 10 disposals and it can get in your head a bit.

“I’m just looking forward to set-tling in at Angaston and hopefully playing some A-grade footy this year.”

ANOTHER round of the Gawler & District Softball Association is in the books, with Giants proving the most impressive divi-sion one side on Saturday, shutting Blue-jays out on the way to a 8-0 win.

Giants were simply too strong for Bluejays all day, with Bluejays’ first three batters all dismissed to set up Giants with a golden op-portunity.

Outfield hits to Imogen Krollig and Brooke Clark helped Giants score two runs in the first inning, and there would be a steady diet of runs throughout for the winning side, while Giants pitcher Tahlia Sutton struck a numbers of bat-ters out, including all three in the last inning.

In the second division one game, Kangas defeated Two Wells 10-7 in an entertaining contest.

Two Wells started well with the bat, scoring three runs in the first innings while demon-strating some aggressive base running.

Kangas managed just one run in the bot-tom of the innings as they struggled with the change of pace from pitcher Krystal Doudle, before Two Wells pitcher Carlijn Hill domi-nated the next inning in response.

Kangas levelled the score in their second at bat with a giant home run from Jasmine Mulvey, before Two Wells’ Krystal and Jodie Chammen crossed the plate after hitting safe-ly and getting driven in by Ange Mann and Sarah McMillan.

Needing to score runs to win the game Kan-gas fired back with the bat, managing seven runs in their last trip to the plate thanks to big hits coming from Jenny Freeman and Kim-berly Storton to give Kangas the win.

In division two, Kangas continued to show incredible depth between its two sides as Kangas Grey and Kangas Blue both ran away with big wins.

Kangas Blue produced a highlight-reel per-formance against Two Wells, racking up a massive 20 runs to win 20-4.

Kangas’ batting was too strong for the Two Wells pitchers, piling on seven runs in each of

the first two innings before adding six more in the third and final try.

Kangas Grey also won comfortably, beat-ing Giants 8-1, but the score line was not an indication of how close this game was.

Batting first, Kangas managed just the one run in the first inning as Giants’ Niaomi Sch-reier featured at centre-field with two sharp catches from well hit balls.

Kangas were equally impressive defensive-ly, preventing Giants from scoring during the bottom inning, keeping Lewis Rosenzweig busy at short stop with a superb double play.

After the next inning went scoreless, Kan-gas piled on seven runs during the top of the third with piercing hits through the infield from Tubiyas Stewart, Tania Bailey and Kel-ly Varcoe.

Debra Hutchinson caught the eye with an impressive put out for Giants from shortstop, and then also got things going for Giants during their third at-bat with a crunching hit past right-field, going on to score later in the dig.

Kangas held their nerve though, completing their required outs before any further damage was done.

In under-17s, Trinity College won a high-scoring thriller against Kangas 14-13.

The game was a very even contest, and was decided by the Trinity College defence limit-ing Kangas to six runs when they needed sev-en in the final innings to draw.

Trinity batted first and scored seven runs with a safe hit to Maddie Blackmore and then a home

run to Neve Cammans being the highlights. However, Kangas came up with seven runs

of their own with an excellent batting display and safe hits to Tubiyas Stewart and Finn Radford, capped off by homeruns to Alix Hill and Lewis Rosenzweig.

Despite Kangas changing their pitcher, Trinity scored another seven runs as Jose-phine Virgara and Zoe Doudle recorded more safe hits.

Needing seven runs to tie, the innings start-ed poorly for Kangas as Trinity dismissed the lead-off batter, but a couple of walks got run-ners on base before the second out.

Kangas scored their sixth run for the innings when Alix Hill hit her second homerun of the game, with Tubiyas then hitting safely to be the seventh run on base, but the next batter would be thrown out at first base to end the game.

In under-14s, it was a mixed bag for Giants teams, as Giants Black pulled of an impres-sive 11-3 win against Trinity College, while Giants Red went down 1-9 against Kangas.

Against Trinity, a dominant first innings from Giants Black – first in the field, and then with the bat – set up an easy win.

Josephine Virgara and Isak Darlington scored for Trinity College in the first, but the defensive duo of Tiahna Staker and Daan Barrett made the outs for Giants without Trin-ity being able to add any more runs.

Giants batters found their grove with safe hits from Riley Hartup, Ashia Scott, Daan Barrett, and Jett Donaghy, managing to score

the maximum seven runs. A pitching change for Trinity was immediately successful when the lead-off batter was again retired for Gi-ants, however, they managed to score anoth-er four runs through Tiahna, Riley and Daan with safe hits to open up the final margin.

While Kangas won the other under-14s game convincingly, the Giants Red team again showed that they are a team on the rise.

Batting first, Kangas made a couple of quick outs, but Giants steadied, and while they didn’t score any runs, they did make Kangas work for the third out.

In return, Kangas managed to score seven runs, highlighted by Blake Rosenzweig’s big homerun, as well as hits to Lily Smith, Tiara Walsh and Kristina Bailey to keep the score moving.

Kangas accounted for the lower order of the Giants’ line up quite quickly and went to bat on again, however Giants had other ideas, get-ting three outs including a double play when Indi Sullivan caught a fly catch and threw to Zac Schillabeer at first to make the out.

Indi Sullivan then batted and then scored on a Kangas error to give Giants their only run for the game, with time being called a few batters later.

LOCAL whiz-kid Keeley Menadue is go-ing from strength to strength, with the 2021 dux of Xavier College excelling at this past weekend’s Australian Youth Dressage Championships.

Menadue, 17, said she had been riding hors-es for as long as she could remember, and spoke of how it was a privilege to be able to compete in something she lived and breathed.

“I started riding horses when I was four years old, just for fun around home and at our lovely pony club,” she said.

“When I was nine years old, I started com-peting in show horse, and moved into dres-sage when I was around 12.

“I think I like it so much because it is some-thing that I have always done – it has become a part of my lifestyle.

“We have had horses on our property ever since I can remember, and riding has always interested me – especially now that I compete regularly, I love being able to set goals and strive to achieve them, and that I can do this whilst working with horses.

“Competing wasn’t the reason I started rid-ing, but it is definitely something that I hope to continue for a long time.”

The event functions as the national champi-onships for riders 25 years old and younger, and for Menadue it was an important step on her journey to compete in the sport profes-sionally.

“I was extremely happy with my results and had a lot of personal bests over the weekend,” she said.

“I was fortunate enough to receive Champi-on Elementary Pony, with a first and second in the Elementary 3B and 3C (the elementary tests) on the Friday.

“On Saturday, I competed in the Medium championship, however had to compete in the open category rather than pony (which is a smaller height under 148cm) as there was only one pony competing at that level.

“I received a sixth and seventh in the 4B and 4C, which meant I was sixth overall out of 24 competitors.

“I also competed in and won the Elementa-ry freestyle, in the open field.

“I would definitely love to make riding into a full-time career and hope to do so one day in the future.

“Moving overseas to train and compete is something I wish to do in the next few years, however I want to complete a degree in Phys-iotherapy first, starting this year, so that I can have another career to support me financially.

“In the meantime, I am very fortunate to ride at a local horse stud, Ponderosa Stud, and other clients within South Australia.”

With year 12 behind her, Menadue said she was excited to dive into as much competition as possible after admitting she was not able to compete as regularly as she would like due to her studies and COVID-19 messing with in-terstate events.

“I plan to compete at the horse of the year events within South Australia this year, with the South Australian State Dressage Cham-pionships in April being one of the biggest events,” she said.

“I would also love to return to Victoria in October to compete at the Australian National Dressage Championships.”

CLUB NOTES

GolfHAMLEY BRIDGE – Germano Baiguini won Saturday’s par competition with +1 on a count back from Wally Jackson (+1), while Wayne White managed third on a count back from Karl Uffelmann, both finishing square.

Others to make the better half were Barry Schwartz, Dean Nicolo and Bob Charman (-1).

Nearest to the pin was won by Barry Schwartz (9th), while birdies were made by Barry Schwartz (6th and 9th), Dean Nicolo (14th) and Jason Treloar (1st).

Six Hamley Bridge golfers toured to Ardrossan to play in an annual Ambrose competition.

Because of COVID-19, the format was changed from four-person to two-person teams, and Hamley managed to ‘scoop the pool’ with Rob Howe and Greg Bartrop winning the handicap with a nett 59.5.

Meanwhile, Geoff Ashby and Roger Hahn won off the stick with a six-under 64, also being runner-up in the handicap with a nett 61.35.

KAPUNDA – The New Year has started with a bang, with some great scores and some excellent fields taking to the Kidman Links course.

On Wednesday, January 5, the ladies had a good turnout for their stableford round and Janet Morrison

found her championship form to blitz the field with 42 big points.

Jenny Menzel also had a fantastic day with 38, while Carolyn Koch, Tine Perry and Jan Owen should also have been satisfied with their returns of 36 points apiece.

The following day a record full field teed it up for a stableford round, and the scores matched the amazing turnout.

At the end of the round John Rekdale had a flawless day, scoring 43 points to just sneak over the line in front.

Leftie Eugene Warrior and the German also played very well, just a shot behind, while the trio of Steven Watson, Michael Sulser and Josh Duncan also blew their handicaps apart with scores of 41 points.

Saturday was another pretty big field for the Total Earthworx Monthly Medal stroke round when 81 players were out for a bash.

‘Jeckyl and Hyde’ golfer and course manager extraordinaire Keithy Alexander had his best round – probably ever – when he signed his card off with a nett 65. A fantastic effort.

In the A-grade, Steven Watto backed up his Thursday form with a 69 and a one-shot lead over Mingy, who is also finally playing off a handicap more akin to his ability.

In the B-grade, Alex Nicholson took the top podium

spot with a very tidy 70 nett. Peter Edwards had a 71 after sorting out a couple of

leaky valves and Dave Fidock joined Toby Talbot on 72. In the C-grade, Chris Matcham and Gregory Brind

both ended up with nett 69 – in the end it was the local member Chris who triumphed over the Sandy Creek visitor.

Last Wednesday the mercury climbed with a real taste of summer and a large proportion of the ladies decided it would be cooler staying at home, with just a handful taking the punt.

Janet again showed her class and stamina with a nett 70 in their stroke round, while Carol carded 72 and Carolyn 74.

A talented group of 50 players fronted up on the Thursday for another stableford round, and once again an exceptional score took home the bickies.

Vince Cozzitorto had a stellar day with 44 magnificent points, trailed by Michael Sulser who again did well with 39. Rod Skuse and the reliable Les Grafton did well with 38 points apiece.

The record-breaking crowds continued on the weekend with 91 players having a crack in the Geej and Jane Prior-sponsored par round.

Joel ‘Cushions’ Wilson made his day special with not too much going wrong as he cruised to a score of +7.

Harvey Murray also had a day to remember as he picked up the other major prize with his +5.

Lanky Leigh followed up his previous weeks form with an equally good +4 to claim the A-grade top voucher.

Eugene is also on a bit of a roll with consistent sub 80s golf of late to card a +3, along with Ted Keyte.

Pete Morrison was the unlucky loser of the countback with Harvey and he had to settle for the B-grade voucher on the day.

‘Diamond Jim’ Tilbrook had his best hit of the year with a great +4, and +3 was a popular number in the grade with Toby Talbot, Clive Shelbourn, Julie Holland and Mick Menzel all finishing up there at the end of the day.

The best of the C-graders were Gary Brushe with +2 and the trio of Reggie Staehr, Chipper Trotta and Eric von Altus all a shot back.

Dan Law won the A-grade long drive, driving the creek on the 11th on his way to a one-under the card round.

NTP’s were taken to the pubs by Reggie, Wade Trimper and Peter Edwards who must have played one of his better shots on the day on his way to a DNF.

On the upcoming Australia Day next week the club will host a stableford round with a planned shotgun start at 8.30. Registration for the day is via the normal channel.

THE ongoing saga surrounding

the Julian Terrace toilet block’s

future has been resolved, with a

new toilet block to be built 80 me-

tres north of the current site.

A last-minute bid from a handful

of Gawler councillors and the public

to save the existing block from dem-

olition failed to sway the decision.

Instead, the town will receive

two new toilet blocks – one at Apex

Park and the other located in Mar-

tin’s Place, opposite the Gawler

Post Office.

Councillors voted 6-4 in favour

of creating the new block at Mar-

tin’s Place.

Councillor Paul Little presented a

motion on notice, which called for

the demolition of the Julian Terrace

toilets to be deferred for 12 months

while the Apex Park toilets were

under construction and that the cost

of refurbishing the block be investi-

gated, which was lost on a 6-4 vote

after it was brought forward.

In mid-October, council was

offered a $100,000 Changing

Places Grant which would be

put towards construction of a

toilet block compliant with the Dis-

ability Discrimination Act.

Manager of infrastructure and en-

gineering services Sam Dilena told

elected members at the November

24 council meeting the option of

building two new toilet blocks al-

lowed council to get “maximum

bang for buck”.

Council was facing the prospect

of handing back part of its Places

for People grant of $140,000, if the

demolition and pocket park compo-

nents were removed from the proj-

ect scope.

Councillor Diane Fraser said that

sending money back would be a

“really bad look” for council.

The Changing Places facility is

estimated to cost $200,000 as a

stand-alone block, with the grant

LIGHT SWITCH MP bows out of Schubert showdown after boundary redraw backflip…

SARA GILLIGAN

LOCAL MP Tony Piccolo says he has “no regrets” running for the seat of Schubert despite unforeseen boundary changes keeping his heartland, Gawler, in the seat of Light.

Mr Piccolo announced his candidacy for Schubert in August after an Electoral Districts Boundaries Commission (EDBC) draft report proposed to split the region in two, moving more than 12,500 Light con-stituents into Schubert.

However, in its final report released last

Wednesday, the EDBC had removed the Gawler localities from the final Schubert boundaries – with the Liberal-held seat to now encompass most of the Barossa Valley wine region.

The reversal ended a battle between Mr Piccolo and former transport minister

Stephan Knoll before it could begin, as the seat’s margin of just 5.4 per cent would have offered an interesting playing field.

Instead, Mr Knoll’s safe seat has become even safer, on 14.7 per cent.

FROM lengthy supermarket and COVID-19 testing queues to a complete shutdown, life was put on pause last week in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

While the lockdown was based on false information, health officials acted swiftly to combat the threat, and last week will go down in the history books as one to remember.

SPORT Local juniors contest SACA 150 Cup

– Page 39

LIAM PHILLIPS

TEENAGER Malakye Kohlhagen has been consistently rising through the Barossa & Light Cricket Association ranks, recently moving up to third in the batting order for his A1 Light Pass side and earning a spot as one of the youngest members of the senior Country Cup team.

Kohlhagen, 17, who has also played junior footy for Central District Football Club and earned three games in Angaston’s A-grade this past season, spoke about how he worked his way through the grades and the adjustments needed to play senior cricket.

“I started playing senior cricket when I was about 14 – I went with a mate to go train with Tru-ro’s seniors, and one of my coaches, Brett, told me if I wanted to play seniors to just ask,” he said.

“He chucked me in the A5s for a few games, before I worked my way up to the A3s and found some form there – scored a 50 – then the next sea-son Danny, the A-grade coach, chucked me in the ones.

“That was in 2019, so I was 15 years old, and honestly I didn’t bat heaps, and when I did, I’d get out for ducks or something small. My highest score in the ones was probably about 10 until last year.

“I bowled once and got some wickets, but I’m not really a bowler, so I was only batting and I was down at number nine, so it was tough to make an impact.
