The success of our annual cruise ship season, which last year attracted a record 27 arrivals and up to 50,000 passengers, brought an estimated $3 million in economic benefits to South Australia through accommodation for interstate passengers, tours, crew spending, port fees, security, fuel, food and beverage supplies and other services. But how much of that stayed in the City of Port Adelaide Enfield? For the most part, the bus tours for the passengers passed straight through our city en route to the Barossa, Kangaroo Island and other wonderful destinations. This year an expected 15 cruise ships will visit us, some making multiple visits. Among them will be the Queen Mary 2 which alone brings in 4000 passengers and crew.

Australian libraries and library associations are behind a campaign to turn 2012 into the National Year of Reading, linking together all the great things that are already happening around books. The National Year of Reading 2012 is about helping people discover and rediscover the magic of books. Most of all, it’s about Australians becoming a nation of readers. This year will see many amazing - and fun - reading activities taking place around Australia and online, so people of all ages, from different backgrounds, can discover and rediscover the joy of reading. Township of Glebe (between Port Adelaide and Alberton) Sidney Malin will sell by auction, under instructions from the Trustees of St. Paul’s Church, 63 BEAUTIFUL Allotments, being Subdivision of Portion of Section 2300A, Hundred of Port Adelaide, and laid out as the Township of Glebe. This land is known as Green’s Paddock and adjoins the Rectory. Close to Baptist and Methodist churches and Port Adelaide Public School. It is only about three or four minutes’ walk from Alberton Station and easy distance of Port Adelaide. It comprises some of the best land in the district, and the allotments measure from 50 ft. to 66 ft. frontage to good, wide roads by depths from 135 ft. to 220 ft. The terms are exceedingly easy. Only £5 deposit per allotment and balance in quarterly instalments, extending over 1, 2, or 3 years. Interest, 5 per cent. Right to pay off at any time. Those purchasers paying cash will be able to possess their title almost immediately. Note — this is an opportunity for speculators and builders to secure sites for building purposes. The situation is very good for letting purposes. March 9 1912 The Register Watch Your Harness ‘Every horse owner well knows a harness is an expensive item, but, as Mr. Roeger, of Northfield, pertinently emphasised in the course of a recent chat, this expense may be greatly curtailed by taking care of the harness from the moment it is purchased. In the first place, it is advisable to buy only the very best, as it will prove the cheapest in the long run. Dressings of neatsfoot oil and a good harness composition three or four times a year will, in Mr. Roeger’s opinion, keep the harness clean and pliable. Appreciable saving may be effected by paying proper attention, at the right time, to repairs. There are many repairs to which a handy man should attend himself, by keeping a saddler’s outfit, such, as a ball of hemp, a few awls and needles, a piece of cobbler’s wax and a good assortment of copper rivets...Nothing but leather lined collars should be used, as the leather can easily be kept clean, whereas with the check lining, the dirt, salt, and hair are held, and upon the horse sweating, these cause the lining to become hard and lumpy; and if it is not cleaned after use each time it will finally raise sores on the shoulder.

Notification of Streetscape & Reserve Program 8\LLUZ[V^U 2 The visit of three major cruise ships all on the same weekend in early February – the Athena, Celebrity Century and Crystal Serenity - bringing with them more than 5000 passengers and crew, was a first for Outer Harbour. It was also reminder that Port Adelaide is also a wonderful tourist destination and we must make it as welcoming and attractive a place as possible. It’s time those cruise ship passenger buses made a detour to discover the attractions of our historic port and that we benefitted from at least a small share of their tourist dollars. Meanwhile, our efforts continue to bring more sporting opportunities to groups of young people who have been missing out, in particular young refugees and Aboriginal children in the Kilburn area. That’s why I’m strongly behind recent moves to seek special Commonwealth grants to improve sporting facilities for these groups at Kilburn Reserve. Let’s hope they succeed. Thanks to a partnership between Council’s library service and OPAL, the collections at Enfield and Greenacres libraries have received an extra boost with equipment to aid development of gross motor skills such as skipping ropes, quoits, Frisbees and ball games. +\KSL` 7HYR +L]VU 7HYR :LM[VU 7HYR 5VY[ONH[L >HSRSL` /LPNO[Z 6HRKLU =HSSL`=PL^ .PSSLZ 7SHPUZ 569;/-0,3+ >(9+ /PSSJYLZ[ .YLLUHJYLZ /HTWZ[LHK .HYKLUZ 4HUUPUNOHT >PUKZVY.HYKLUZ 23,4A0. >(9+ 2SLTaPN /VSKLU /PSS +LYUHUJV\Y[ Library calendar of events web address: www.portenf.sa.gov.au/goto/librarycalendar 3 March/April 2008 • City of Port Adelaide Enfield your community A night of harmony... and dinner Kilburn Community Centre will host its traditional Harmony Week event, Growing Together In Harmony, on Friday 23 March at Kilburn Community Centre, 59 Gladstone Avenue Kilburn. This year the event – which is free - will take place from 6-9pm and will showcase performers from a variety of cultural backgrounds. A highlight of the evening is the healthy, delicious multicultural dinner sponsored by the OPAL program. Keeping dogs safely under control No-one likes dogs that are scary or out of control, especially if there are children around, so having your dog properly trained is the most responsible way to go. One popular local opportunity is provided by the Gepps Cross Dog Training Centre, which has trained thousands of owners and dogs of all shapes, sizes and ages to have better relationships with each other and the community. Last year the centre moved from Enfield High, where it had been located for many years, to new a new location at Somerset Reserve, Sarnia Avenue, Clearview. The club, which has been operating in the Port Adelaide Enfield Council District for more than 30 years, has about 150 members who train their dogs to be sociable and well behaved pets Training is for dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds and takes place on Sunday mornings between 9.30am and 11.30am from the first Sunday in February to the end of November. A free introductory session for new members takes place at 10.15am, while annual membership is $40 (junior and pensioner discounts available). “The best example of the value of training was with my own dog, Chrissy,” said volunteer instructor Annette Railz. “She was spooked by a mozzie zapper and bolted towards a busy main road. I yelled “No Chrissy, and she stopped dead in her tracks. Without the training, I could have lost my dog.” Cloth nappies make a comeback Port Adelaide Enfield Council is the first council in South Australia to offer local residents the opportunity to sample a range of cloth nappies. The council is partnering with KESAB environmental solutions to educate residents on the impacts of disposable nappies on the environment. From the last council bin audit that took place, it was estimated that 140 tonnes of disposable nappies are currently going to landfill each year. In Australia it is estimated that 2.1 billion disposable nappies are buried in landfill each year. An incentive program that allows Port Adelaide Enfield Council residents to try cloth nappies before they buy them has already been received very positively. Council is offering a subsidised program to encourage parents to use cloth nappies through a cloth nappy library, which enables them to try out different sizes and brands of modern cloth nappies for two weeks and find the best system for their family. Late last year KESAB and the cloth nappy company Eco Bums delivered two educational sessions and demonstrations, which resulted in 11 families taking up the offer to trial cloth nappies. There is a information evening on: • Thursday 15 March at the Enfield Community Centre, 6.30pm. “This is a great incentive for parents to try cloth nappies to see if it suits them and their baby. The environmental and financial benefits are quite significant” says Grace Barila Project Coordinator from KESAB environmental solutions. Annette says the classes are not just about formal training.“I like the social atmosphere and the fun that comes with not only training your own dog, but assisting others to train theirs. Most dogs get very excited when they know they are going to training and they love it.” “Cloth nappies have come a long way since terry towelling squares. Modern versions are much more absorbent, less bulky, easier to wash and are just as easy to use as disposables – and they look great.” For more information, please visit geppscrossdogtraining.org.au or call Jan on 8261 7220. For more information or to register attendance at the sessions please contact Grace Barila on 0406 001 216 or [email protected]. your community Growing Together in Harmony celebrates the rich cultural traditions of the Kilburn and Blair Athol area and highlights the ability of the region to overcome differences and to grow as a talented and cohesive community. Bookings for the event are not required. For any enquiries, please contact Kilburn Community Centre on 8349 8363. Making affordable, healthy meals as easy as pie... One of the issues some people face when trying to move away from pre-prepared or junk food meals is that putting a simple, low cost, tasty and nutritious meal on the table can be a bit of a challenge. Cooking great meals from fresh ingredients raises a few questions, such as what will I prepare, do I have all of the ingredients I need, and how do I find the time? Community Food SA has set out to provide the answers that will make life in the kitchen as easy as possible even for inexperienced home cooks, by providing Easy Feast meal packs. These are easy-to-prepare complete meal packs each containing a recipe and all the ingredients you need (except oil and margarine) to feed a family of 4-6 people for less than $8. That’s a great meal costing less than $2 per head. Importantly, there’s plenty of choice with 13 options including cottage pie, tuna mornay, vegetable pizza, corn and tomato salad, vegetable risotto, chicken fried rice, chilli con carne and minestrone soup. All the recipes are guaranteed to be nutritious as they have been developed by Community Foodies under the guidance of community dietitians. They are available only from Community Food SA, a community grocery store that has been serving the inner northern suburbs of Adelaide for more than |20 years, providing a variety of supermarket products for people who need their shopping budget to stretch further. They’ve moved recently from Kilburn to a new, larger location at Shop 5, 580 Main North Road, Gepps Cross, which is open from 9am to 3.30pm, Tuesday to Friday. They can be contacted on 8262 7345 or by email at [email protected]. South Road Superway The $842 million South Road Superway project is the biggest single investment in a South Australian road project and the state’s most complex engineering road construction project to date. Funded by both the Australian and South Australian governments, the 4.8km expressway features a 2.8km elevated roadway with multiple lane, twin carriageways from the Port River Expressway to Regency Road. Stage One, which included early service relocations and wider transport network enhancements, is now complete. Seven piers are in various stages of construction, most of the piling and four piers are now complete, and above them some of the segments that form the Superway carriageway have been lifted into place using a 500 tonne crane. The Superway is being constructed whilst maintaining two lanes of traffic in each direction during peak hour. South of Grand Junction Road a worksite has been created in the middle of the road and north of Grand Junction Road the construction team is working in the eastern swale. Casting the 2202 segments that form the elevated roadway as close as possible to the piers minimises the interruption to traffic on South Road and the surrounding traffic network. More than 150 of these segments (each weighing 65-90 tonnes) have already been cast, with a workforce of up to 180 people working 24 hour shifts in the casting yard. A successful Indigenous employment program has been implemented, and in November the construction team achieved a significant safety milestone, reaching one million construction hours without a lost time injury. For further information on the project please visit our website by typing ‘South Road Superway’ into your search engine, or calling 1300 638 789 or emailing [email protected]. Golf course upgrade now complete Work on the Regency Park Golf Course and wetland as part of the $842 million South Road Superway project is now finished and the course is open to play, featuring safety improvements and a challenging and spectacular wetland feature. More than 40,000 plants have been planted around the wetland, which manages stormwater as a detention basin. For all booking please contact the Pro Shop on 8268 5753. Planning for reserve upgrade now under way Development of a masterplan for a major upgrading of Thomas Turner Reserve is now under way, including an extensive consultation program to determine what nearby residents and users of the reserve want to see included. Located on the corner of Nelson and Grand Junction Roads, Valley View, and bound to the east and north by residential properties, the reserve consists of three playing fields that are used for soccer and cricket, two small buildings that provide basic change room facilities, a driving range and a par three golf course. It is an important regional recreation reserve that also has a regional play space and community facilities. It is proposed the master plan focuses strongly on the retention and enhancement of the existing qualities and functions of the Thomas Turner Reserve in its entirety. This includes finding ways to enhance the water courses and wetland areas; more passive recreation areas that include play spaces, shelters, barbeques, drinking fountains and shade; and better connections for cycling and pedestrians. A medium skill level skate facility with access from Nelson Road and suitable car park space to accommodate existing clubs will also be considered. The driving range will be retained and no additional sports lighting is proposed. Current proposals under the new masterplan include rationalisation of buildings by the demolition of the two existing buildings and their replacement with a new club facility that will accommodate all existing sport users of the reserve. The community consultation process will include interviews with regular users of the reserve and the existing buildings to discuss the development of the reserve as well as any proposed rationalisation and upgrades to buildings; two open meetings to be held on the reserve to gather local residents’ views and to provide feedback on the final master plan; and a letterbox drop to residents living within a 1km radius providing information on the final master plan. When the community consultations have concluded and the master plan concept design finalised, it will go back to Council for endorsement. School for young mums needs helpers St Joseph’s Education Centre is for young women who are having or who already have a child and want to complete their secondary education. We provide transport and an onsite creche, and we are seeking volunteers to support the creche coordinator on tuesdays between 9.45am-2.45pm. For further information and inquiries please contact Sue Knight on 8269 8826. Tour Down Under inspires Semaphore bike group The recent Tour Down Under event has given a major push along to the bike riders who are part of the Semaphore Wheels in Motion group. During the Tour Down Under in January, bike group members had the opportunity to see the race from different vantage points including the CBD, Lobethal, Woodside, Aldgate, Tanunda and Norwood. This provided great enjoyment and inspiration for members who are now keen to get involved in one of the public Tour Down Under rides, possibly next year. Since July last year the group has been supported by the Semaphore Uniting Church in collaboration with the Western Region Supported Residential Facilities (SRF) Project. It meets every Tuesday morning at the church shed, 146 Semaphore Road, Exeter, and participants go for a bike ride - with the Semaphore foreshore a favourite route. The group has a number of members from local supported residential facilities but is looking for other interested people to join in. With extra support and new volunteers, the bike riding could be extended to other days of the week. There is a pool of bikes that can be borrowed for organised bike rides, with bike maintenance sessions also taking place on Tuesdays. To learn more about the bike group or to become involved as a volunteer please contact SRF Project Officer Eddie Bullitis on 8405 6703.

Half a century ago Paul Korte was well-known as a boatbuilder in Port Adelaide. Not surprisingly, his hobby was building sailing boats. Now nearing 90 and living in Port Pirie, Paul is still building boats as a hobby – but this time both smaller and more elaborate, such as his 70cm long model of the sailing ship HMB Endeavour. “Presenting these awards is one of the most satisfying tasks a mayor can have,” said Port Adelaide Enfield Mayor Gary Johanson, who presented the awards at Sunnybrae Farm. “I know the pleasure they will bring to the winners and their families – and I know the benefits their tireless work has provided to the community.” Started more than nine months ago, Paul managed to finish it in time for the Endeavour’s visit to Port Adelaide in February but he’s unable to make the trip to visit the ship in person. Instead his place will be taken by his sprightly old mate Fred Schembri, who’s nearing 80 and who played a helpful role in the making of the model Endeavour. Klemzig resident Fred helped out by sourcing the right timber for the model, including huon pine, and because he owned a wood lathe he was able to make the masts and other spindly bits and pieces. “It’s a magnificent piece of work,” Fred enthuses, happy that Paul has promised to leave it to him when he sails off into the blue yonder. Now both benchtop sailors are looking forward to Paul’s next project, a model of the 44m Baltic trader Soren Larsen, which led the First Fleet re-enactment back in 1988. Helping young Afghan refugees find their feet Young Afghan refugees in Adelaide are banding together for support in response to difficulties settling into their new home. An increasing number of unaccompanied minors from Afghanistan have come to Adelaide in recent years, with many struggling to find their feet while they learn English and the culture of their new home. Some of those young people have now formed the Afghan Youth Project to help new migrants become part of the community and give them leadership skills through a range of community development projects. Many young Afghanis have arrived without families, often as unaccompanied minors who’ve come through the detention centre process, and they end up in Adelaide without the strong family links found in most refugee communities. The project, which is being run by Uniting Care Wesley Port Adelaide in partnership with the government’s Office for Youth, is aimed at Afghanis aged from 12 to 24 years. It plans to help them improve their engagement with the community, improve their self confidence as well as their physical and emotional well-being. There are also up to 12 places available for people to participate as a member of the Afghan Youth Project’s Youth Advisory Committee, whose members will engage in youth leadership training, meetings and activities led by and for young people. To take part in or find out more about the Afghan Youth Project, please contact Christine Gamble or Mariam Aslami, Afghan Youth Project Officer, on 8404 1592 or 0410 029 064, or by email [email protected]. The Citizen of the Year Award went to Steven Burgess, who has fostered many children over the years. The judges, who described Steve as a “truly charitable man - a humanitarian”, said he made financial donations beyond his means to charitable causes and had supported the Enfield Food Centres SA for many years. “He has taken many children to see stage shows, concerts, movies and many community events, always paying for their entry,” the judges added. “He is in every respect, a model citizen.” Port Adelaide Enfield’s Young Citizen of the Year is Brooke Clark, who has launched a tireless campaign to promote awareness and understanding of Autism Spectrum Disorder. “With no official ambassador, Brooke took it upon herself to raise awareness through the Army of Autism Awareness Angels, who volunteer their time to charities through fundraising at various charity events,” the judges commented. Illuminart Productions won the award for Community Event of the Year, in which artist Cindi Drennan brought ‘Port Inhabited’ to the 2011 Port Festival over two spectacular evenings. “Cindi spent many hours with community groups in the Council area, gathering information, ideas and images to obtain a better knowledge of how the City of Port Adelaide Enfield should be projected and portrayed,” the judges said. “The result was a visually beautiful community event attended by thousands.” In addition, 15 individuals, businesses and organisations won Service to the Community Awards, including Westside Blue Light, the Rotary Club of Largs Bay and Hey Jude hair and Beauty. Prior to the Australia Day Awards presentation, a Citizenship Ceremony took place with more than 40 people from various countries pledging their commitment to become Australian citizens.
