An introduction of the group and SA Water representatives confirmed a way forward to develop and implement a plan to present to the Essential Services Commission this year. The group will oversee and formulate an extensive survey to take to the community residents and businesses on a “door to door” basis. Over the years a lot of this work has been undertaken by the Water Quality Committee. A substantial business plan funded by grant monies and compiled by Natural Logic for the District Council of Orroroo Carrieton contains a considerable amount of information in regard to the water quality and the solutions available, outlining costs and tests already done. I am sure with the information already available and the new group’s input, we will have more than enough evidence and will be able to put the residents of Orroroo’s concerns regarding the water quality and the effect it has on household and business infrastructure and the fact that the water is far from a potable quality. manage the replacement or refurbishment of the grandstand. Funding has also become available to enhance the southern and northern town entrances. DPTI has agreed to seal the truck stop area along the old rail line on the northern end. The removal of the rail line and old fencing will certainly improve the entrance. Negotiations for a 24 hour fuel outlet at the old roadhouse site, toilets and showers as well as a RV caravan dump site would be an asset to the community and businesses as well as improving the town entrance. It will be an agenda item for the District Council of Orroroo Carrieton to initiate a meeting with the new Minister for Regional Development and Local Government in the near future to put our voice forward on the importance of our considerable work into firstly the water quality issue and other important local and area problems. I am sure Geoff Brock will understand local Council issues having been the Mayor of Port Pirie and we wish him all the best in his new role. Col Parkyn Chairman Having received grant funding for the grandstand at the Orroroo oval, a District Council of Orroroo Carrieton steering committee comprising representatives from sporting bodies and Council will endeavour to develop a plan to make a recommendation to take to the community on what and how to Goyder’s Line Gazette 2 Invitation to apply for Cropping Committee Grant Funding The Orroroo Cropping Committee is pleased to advise there are funds of up to $30,000 available for distribution to local community, sporting and service clubs this year for projects that will provide benefits to the club, members and the community.

Time to control foxes across the Northern and Yorke Region Natural Resources Northern and Yorke is reminding landholders that now is the time to implement their fox baiting control program, and to look for opportunities to work in unison with neighbours to keep fox numbers under control across the region. Landscapes Team Leader Grant Roberts said, “The introduced Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) plays a major role in the decline native fauna such as ground nesting birds and small mammals, and cause economic loos to livestock producers by preying on newborn lambs and poultry. “Proactive fox baiting forms part of an effective integrated fox management program. “In isolation, it may take some pressure off flocks, but fox populations recover rapidly after short-term baiting, and are best controlled through long term group programs. “Participating in a coordinated baiting program means more foxes are removed from given areas simultaneously, and this slows fox reinvasions from surrounding properties. “The benefits of a coordinated approach are significant to communities, livestock and native fauna and contributes to the Northern and Yorke NRM Boards landscape priorities for agricultural districts.” The Natural Resource Management Act (2004) lists a range of pest plant and animals as declared species and provides significant powers to the Board to ensure effective control of pests in the regions. Under the Act, landholders are responsible for the control of pest plants and animals on their properties. This includes both private and public land managers. Natural Resources Northern and Yorke supplies fox baits to landholders and provides instruction on best practice baiting technique. Landholders are required to take responsible action in accordance with current legislation regarding the supply and use of 1080 products. Authorised Officers will provide details of legislative requirements at the point of supply so as to minimise the risks that baits potentially pose. For further information and to speak to officers in the Upper North, Lower-Mid North and Yorke Peninsula District, please contact Natural Resources Northern and Yorke on 08 8841 3400.

We would like to thank the outgoing members Taryn Ackland, Belinda Reddaway and Anna Froling. This group of people did a great job during their time on the committee, working tirelessly to keep the club alive during a period of time when it seemed that the club would not be able to continue. The incoming committee members are Lisa Stone, Karen Shephard and Deborah Wittwer. Adele Tapscott and Hannah Bowman agreed to coach our team this year. We would like to thank the Council for their support throughout the year. making this year a great year and we are looking forward to seeing you all again next year.

You can swim for recreation or join us for competition swimming, either way we look forward to seeing you. Orroroo Swimming Club Committee We began the year with 23 swimmers, separated into 3 squads; Juniors, Seniors and Masters. Our training sessions were held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings for about an hour at a time. This year we competed in 10 Friday night carnivals as one was cancelled due to the Bangor Bushfire and the other was cancelled due to torrential rain and flooding. We travelled to Crystal Brook, Gladstone, Jamestown, Booleroo Centre and Port Pirie for these meets. During the season our swimmers showed they had exceptional capacity to improve each week, thereby making the nominations officer job harder as the times kept being bested by numerous seconds. By the end of the season we were able to achieve more points, but we are looking forward to next season and hopefully achieving some more points. Adele Tapscott shows her butterfly style A new program was introduced into the Friday night carnivals this year. It was called Octopus League. This is an initiative of Swimming SA to encourage 12 and under swimmers into Open carnivals and to give them on opportunity to swim at the SAALC at Marion in Adelaide. Our club was able to send four swimmers down to Adelaide for the final. They were chosen based on their fastest time swum on an Octopus league night and their availability to swim on the 22nd March in Adelaide. The Upper North zone was able to fill most events and we were competing against clubs who have access to indoor swimming pools and training year round. We came a respectable third and a special congratulations to Charlie who came third in the 11yrs Boys 50m Free. Congratulations to Abigail, Jacob, Henry and Charlie who all swam personal bests in each race. As a club we hosted two of the carnivals and we would like to thank parents, grandparents, relatives and friends who helped out and who came to cheer the swimmers on a big THANKYOU as without you these nights would not have been the success that they were. A big Thanks also goes to the Council and the staff who helped in the canteen during the carnivals. We extend congratulations to all our Club trophy winners.

Basketball The girls looked the part in their brand new shiny red uniforms! Game one provided some entertainment (and con fusion, as it seems they didn’t receive the memo that there was, in fact, another team with shiny red uniforms!). After a few pre-season jitters, the newly-formed ‘Storm’ started the season with a bang, and came up with a win. Whilst for much of the season their game possibly resembled more of a Ross-Lyon inspired defensive style (no chance of mistaking them for the Lightning!), they proved difficult to score against, and finished the season in 2 nd position. With more changes than a newborn’s nappy (Christy’s ‘back’ played up, and workaholic Jess was often AWOL), the Storm still managed to string together several wins (along with several laughs, air-balls, fouls, and rushed trips to Jamestown). Enter finals. With some players having little more than 10 games of basketball experience to call upon, the girls struck a confident Vikings outfit keen to bump out their Orroroo opponents. After a less-than-convincing first half, they drew within a few points in the last quarter. A great steal by Amelia down the stretch led to a last-minute shot by Orroroo to level the score (followed by a lucky free throw). After more twists and turns than an episode of ‘Revenge’, the Storm came out winners by a solitary point. Little did they know this would hold them in good stead for what was to come in the Grand Final. March 2014: The Storm car-pooled once more to Jamestown (at 7pm sharp, Chezz) with a premiership in its sights. Rebels stood in their way, and the game was a physical one (just ask Abbie, the ‘brute’). Whilst not the most skilful display, the lead see-sawed throughout, and at the end of regulation time (and many best-on-court-Kate free throws), scores were level. After some tense moments (and more Rasheed rants), the team managed to hold their nerve (and keep their battered bodies together…just, Jodie!). ‘Twinlays’ did their bit, with a strong rebound by Tiffany (or was it Hayley….no Tiffany…), then Ellie Duffy’s ‘Hail Mary’ free throw (she’d still be saying them) rolled in, and after some heart-stopping moments, the Storm came up with the goods to win a nail-biting Grand Final by one point. Congratulations to everyone involved, and let’s hope there’s plenty of interest again next season!

However, if it was any help, the wind had just blown his Land Rover off the cliff. (Aberdeen Evening Express) Mrs. Irene Graham of Thorpe Avenue, Boscombe, delighted the audience with her reminiscence of the German prisoner of war who was sent each week to do her garden. He was repatriated at the end of 1945, she recalled 'He'd always seemed a nice friendly chap, but when the crocuses came up in the middle of our lawn in February 1946, they spelt out 'Heil Hitler.' (Bournemouth Evening Echo) Heard on the London underground tube … A list of actual announcements that London Tube (underground) train drivers have made to their passengers... 1)'Ladies and Gentlemen, I do apologise for the delay to your service. I know you're all dying to get home, unless, of course, you happen to be married to my ex-wife, in which case you'll want to cross over to the Westbound and go in the opposite direction.' 2) 'Your delay this evening is caused by the line controller suffering from E & B syndrome: not knowing his elbow from his backside. I'll let you know any further information as soon as I'm given any.' 3) 'Do you want the good news first or the bad news? The good news is that last Friday was my birthday and I hit the town and had a great time. The bad news is that there is a points failure somewhere between Mile End and East Ham, which means we probably won't reach our destination.' 4) 'Ladies and gentlemen, we apologise for the delay, but there is a security alert at Victoria station and we are therefore stuck here for the foreseeable future, so let's take our minds off it and pass some time together. All together now.... 'Ten green bottles, hanging on a wall......' 5) 'We are now travelling through Baker Street ... As you can see, Baker Street is closed. It would have been nice if they had actually told me, so I could tell you earlier, but no, they don't think about things like that'. 6) 'Beggars are operating on this train. Please do NOT encourage these professional beggars. If you have any spare change, please give it to a registered charity. Failing that, give it to me.' 7) During an extremely hot rush hour on the Central Line, the driver announced in a West Indian drawl: 'Step right this way for the sauna, ladies and gentleman... unfortunately, towels are not provided.' 8) 'Let the passengers off the train FIRST!' (Pause) 'Oh go on then, stuff yourselves in like sardines, see if I care - I'm going home....' 9) 'Please allow the doors to close. Try not to confuse this with 'Please hold the doors open.' The two are distinct and separate instructions.' 10) 'Please note that the beeping noise coming from the doors means that the doors are about to close. It does not mean throw yourself or your bags into the doors.' 11) 'We can't move off because some idiot has their hand stuck in the door.' 12) 'To the gentleman wearing the long grey coat trying to get on the second carriage -- what part of 'stand clear of the doors' don't you understand?' 13) 'Please move all baggage away from the doors.' (Pause) 'Please move ALL belongings away from the doors.' (Pause) 'This is a personal message to the man in the brown suit wearing glasses at the rear of the train: Put the pie down, Four-eyes, and move your bloody golf clubs away from the door’ 14) 'May I remind all passengers that there is strictly no smoking allowed on any part of the Underground. However, if you are smoking a joint, it's only fair that you pass it round the rest of the carriage.

As the people shared it wasn’t long before a common pattern started to develop in that everyone seemed to be struggling to allocate their time in such a way that they were able to do all the church things that needed to be done, but still find time to do family or personal activities. Domestic and Industrial Installation and Maintenance Servicing of Household Appliances Supply & Servicing of Water Pumps Hot Water Service Repairs Installation of TV Systems Installation of 240v Smoke Alarms Air Conditioning Phone Outlets *Installation of all Even though we live in an age where we have so many appliances and gadgets to help us with the things we need to do, we still struggle to find time to do all that we would love to do. I believe this has come about because we have lost the art of simple living and are trying to crowd so many activities into our day. I am sure many of our grandparents would have gone all week without seeing anyone outside the family unit. So the challenge for us then is to try and find a balance and not try to do everything, but simply set some priorities and let other activities go on hold. Sadly busy-ness seems to increase our levels of stress and when we get stressed we can lose our happy and friendly nature with others. When we are prepared to take time out, give thanks for all the blessings that we enjoy, it can be easy to give thanks to God for the life we enjoy and we certainly become better company. God bless, John Cozens THE PROBUS CLUB OF ORROROO & DISTRICTS ® This month was the AGM, so for the next twelve months Lyn Kempster has taken on the role of President with Lorna Schmidt Secretary. Licence No. PGE143797 Who would have thought a talk about the Port Augusta Prison would have people’s attention for an hour. Wayne McCallum was able to do it. Everyone was intrigued by the behind the scenes insight on how the prison is run. The prison always runs at full capacity of 493 inmates housed in blocks of 60 to 80 inmates in each block. Austel Cabling Licence No. 05140002416 To help reduce the risk of power groups developing, inmates are regularly moved around from prison to prison in the state. types of Clipsal Safety Switches (ELCB) Electrical Contractor Builder’s Licence No: BLD 17179 A CLASS ELECTRICIAN PHONE 8658 1245 Mobile 0427 614 228 32 Years Servicing Orroroo Districts Goyder’s Line Gazette It costs $210.00 a day to keep a prisoner locked up even though they have an established garden area that is able to supply a lot of their fresh vegetables. The prisoners get their own breakfast, but the kitchen still provides over a 1000 meals a day. Although there are only 8 women in the prison it can be quite a challenge to care for them. One of the main challenges to work on is to try and stop drugs and illegal goods being smuggled into the prison. Although the guards work an 8 hour shift, sometimes they can be on duty for up to 12 hours. John Cozens 20 Carrieton News Congratulations Congratulations to Clayton Schmidt and Elyse Mitchell on the birth of their second son Kingsley.
