Mayors Message 

I’m pleased to take this 

opportunity to wish everyone in 

the Port Adelaide Enfield region 

the very best of the 2007 festive 

season and to thank you all for 

your support during my first 12 

months in office as Mayor. 

It has been a wonderful year, 

strengthened by the guidance, 

support, and encouragement 

I’ve received from my fellow 

Councillors, the staff and 

administration at the City of 

Port Adelaide Enfield and the 

wider community. 

As well as working to make 

planning and policy decisions 

to benefit the community, being 

Mayor has given me the honour 

of observing upfront how much 

effort is put into the community 

by so many individuals and 

groups. It is truly inspirational 

to see what people are achieving 

here in business, sport, the arts 

and beyond. As invaluable are 

the many volunteers who put in 

hours of their time to support 

others, and our professional and 

dedicated staff also deserve thanks 

and recognition. 

One of the major highlights of 

the year for me was the inaugural 

Port Festival, which was a huge 

success and part of the economic 

and social renaissance of our area. 

I look forward to another 

standout year in 2008 for Port 

Adelaide Enfield, growing on what 

we have built in the past 

12 months. 

Thank you one and all for your 

support this year. For me, it’s been 

like Christmas every day. I wish 

you and your families a happy 

and safe festive season and a 

wonderful 2008.

Sue Spicer wants Port Adelaide 

Enfield residents to know that the 

Council’s community bus fixed 

route service isn’t only for seniors. 

“It’s not just for the elderly, 

although it’s a fantastic service 

for our older residents,” she says. 

“It’s for anyone who can’t access 

public transport, has limited 

income, finds it hard to get 

around, doesn’t feel like driving, 

or enjoys a bit of company”. 

Sue is the Co-ordinator of Port 

Adelaide Enfield’s Community Bus 

Service and she’s passionate about 

the work – to the point that she 

recently got her own bus licence, 

in case she ever needs to help out. 

She relishes working with her 

team of 30 volunteer bus drivers, 

who operate the six fixed circuits 

through the Council area. The 

bus drivers ferry passengers from 

as far afield as North Haven and 

Exeter to Gilles Plains, Klemzig 

and Sefton Park on their way 

to shopping centres, libraries, 

doctor’s surgeries and other 

destinations.

Ward Councillors 

Port Adelaide Enfield Council comprises a Mayor and 17 Councillors, distributed around seven wards that take in the whole of the city. 

These are your representatives, your voice in Council on matters that concern you in your area, and they are the people who make the policy decisions that guide the Council’s 

administration in its daily work. If you have any concerns that should be brought to the attention of Council, please contact one of the elected members in your ward.

“It’s lovely 

working with 

such a great 

bunch of 

volunteers,” 

she says. “It’s 

also a very 

personalised 

service for 

residents. 

If someone 

rings up and 

says that they 

live in one area 

and need to get 

to another area, 

I have the time 

to talk them 

through the 

timetable and 

explain how to 

use the service”. 

“A lot of other Councils’ 

community buses run on an “as 

needs” basis, and passengers have 

to ring up and book. Ours run 

on fixed circuits, so people can 

just make a spur of the moment 

decision to go somewhere and 

know the bus will travel down 

specified streets at the times noted 

on the timetable”.

Sign up for 

holiday sport fun 

Sporting fun 

during the summer 

holidays has become 

a lot easier with 

Council’s library 

service offering a 

Recreation Library designed 

for children and teenagers up to 

18 years. 

A range of sports equipment 

from cricket sets, tennis racquets, 

basketballs or footballs and other 

items is available from all our 

libraries. The equipment needs to 

be returned to the same library 

from which it was borrowed, and 

the selection available may vary 

from library to library. 

Two items can be borrowed at a 

time for a period of two weeks. 

Documented parental permission 

to use the equipment is necessary. 

Send a letter to Santa 

Santa and his elves are busy 

making toys ready for Christmas 

Day, but to make sure they deliver 

the right toy to each child around 

the world they need a little advice. 

The best way is to write a letter 

to Santa – but you’ll have to be 

fast because you can almost hear 

Santa’s sleigh approaching. 

Council’s libraries have agreed 

to be a drop off point for any 

Christmas letters that children 

send to Father Christmas and the 

elves will then pick them up. 

Look for the special Christmas 

writing paper provided at each 

library for you to write your 

letters to Father Christmas. Then 

you can post them in our very 

special post boxes. 

Father Christmas will answer 

all letters, so make sure you put 

your home address details clearly 

on the bottom of the letter. Post 

boxes in each library which will 

be open from 12 November until 

12 December. 

Big Book 

Club choice 

a big hit 

If you’re looking for a 

good book to read these 

holidays The Big Book 

Club is the answer. 

The club was established 

in 2003 to promote reading 

and each month a committee 

chooses one special book – 

making it an instant hit. 

Posters featuring The Big 

Book Club titles are displayed 

throughout all Council Libraries 

and these books can be easily 

located on the library catalogue. 

Library members, who have 

Internet access and have 

registered a personal identification 

number (PIN), can also use the 

on-line catalogue http://elibrary. 

portenf.sa.gov.au to search for The 

Big Book Club titles in the same 

way. The titles have proven very 

popular and although the libraries 

have purchased multiple copies, it 

may be necessary to place a hold 

on them. 

Visit the Big Book Club website at 

www.thebigbookclub.com.au for 

more information such as ‘meet 

the author’ events, biographies, 

author notes and more. 

This year’s Big Book Club 

titles include: 

• Snapshot by Garry Disher 

• Tiare by Celestine Hiiura Vaite 

• The Rouseabout by Rachael 

Treasure 

• The Unknown Terrorist by 

Richard Flanagan 

• The Time we have Taken by 

Steven Carroll

Time to consider installing a rainwater tank 

With water supply an 

increasingly important issue as 

drought and water restrictions 

continue to be experienced 

throughout Australia, 

rainwater tanks can provide a 

valuable supplement to water 

supply for household use. 

Rainwater tanks offer many 

advantages. They can be used 

at any time and there are no 

restrictions on the amount 

of water you can use. They 

reduce demand on water 

storages and mains water 

supply, are free of chlorine and 

provide an emergency supply 

should there be a problem 

with the mains water supply. 

Most importantly they reduce 

stormwater runoff. 

Before you install a rainwater 

tank either at home or at 

work, you should talk to your 

local rainwater tank supplier 

and consider which tank is 

suitable for your needs. 

Health and planning 

requirements must also be 

considered before installation. 

Regular maintenance of 

rainwater tanks must also be 

considered, including clearing 

leaves from gutters and tank 

entrances, checking to see 

that insects or small animals 

cannot get inside the tank. 

Borrow for a Bid @ 

your public library 

Looking for 

something to do over 

the school holidays? 

Your local library will 

be running a fantastic 

reading program over 

summer. 

Called “Borrow 

for a Bid”, it is for 

young people aged 

5-18 years – with a 

grand launch from 

1pm-2.30pm on 

17 December at the 

Semaphore foreshore. 

Borrow for a Bid 

requires young people 

to collect points 

by reading books, 

borrowing library 

items and writing 

reviews of those 

items. Participants 

can register for 

weekly SMS updates 

about bonus point 

opportunities. 

Points will then be 

used to bid on prizes 

such as a pushbike, 

movie passes and 

zoo passes at a giant 

auction towards the 

end of the school 

holidays. Participants 

can earn extra points 

by registering at the 

launch, which will 

be loads of fun with 

a BBQ, face painting, 

games and livemusic. 

For more information, 

visit your nearest 

library in December. 

From time to time cleaning 

sludge from inside the tank. 

SA Water has provided a 

guide for plumbers, builders 

and homeowners on how to 

correctly install and plumb 

rainwater tanks and 

associated pipe work.

Carols for Christmas 

at the Port 

You know it’s nearly 

Christmas when 

it’s time to pack a 

picnic rug or chair 

and head for the 

annual Carols at the 

Academy. 

Started by the 

South Australia 

Police in the early 

1990s to cater for 

the country police 

trainees and officers 

who could not get 

home for Christmas, 

the Carols at the 

Academy now 

attracts up to 7,000 

people each year. 

This year’s event 

will be held at the 

Police Academy, 

Strathfield Tce, 

Taperoo on Friday 

14 December 2007, 

from 6pm. 

The worldrenowned 

Band of 

the South Australia 

Police and special 

guest performers 

will perform all the 

favourite carols, 

with plenty of other 

free entertainment 

through the night, 

including police 

car rides for the 

kids, and free onsite 

parking. 

The night will finish 

at about 10pm 

with a spectacular 

pyrotechnics 

display. 

Guests are 

encouraged to also 

bring and donate 

a can of food, to 

be shared by the 

St Vincent DePaul 

Society amongst 

Adelaide’s needy 

families over 

Christmas. 

Full catering will 

be available with all 

proceeds supporting 

the Variety Club of 

South Australia. 



General News 

Wetland sculptures highlight consumer waste 

A $100,000 public art project 

has been installed in the Range 

Wetlands at Gillman in a bid 

to raise public awareness about 

environmental sustainability. 

The artwork - a permanent fixture 

visible from Dry Creek’s North 

Hanson Road - celebrates the 

reclamation of a site in which 

the nearby hills are built from 

discarded waste. 

On for young and old 

Port Adelaide Enfield’s seniors 

got a chance to celebrate their 

seniority in style with a special 

Port River Dolphin Cruise as part 

of the statewide 2007 “Every 

Generation – It’s on for young and 

old” Festival. 

Celebrating the lives and 

contributions of older people in 

the community, the annual Festival 

hosts a range of events and 

activities throughout October to 

bring together South Australians 

of all ages. 

Port Adelaide Enfield Mayor Gary 

Johanson and Cr Carol Martin 

joined about 110 senior residents 

on the dolphin cruise, 

which featured a 

sumptuous buffet style 

morning tea as the boat 

cruised along the Port 

River. 

Left: A great lunch was 

enjoyed by all on the 

Every Generation Port 

River Dolphin Cruise

Whitelaw 

According to Zero Waste SA Chief 

Executive, Vaughan Levitzke, the 

project highlights the need for 

a continued focus on reducing 

consumption and the amount of 

waste created. 

“By propping art against an 

industrial landscape built from 

household and commercial waste, 

we hope to remind Australians 

that the level of consumption in 

our everyday lives has a direct 

impact on the environment,” Mr 

Levitzke said. 

As one of the entrants in the 

Design Institute of Australia’s 

(DIA) 2007 South Australian 

Design Awards, the Zero Waste 

Lifeline project is an initiative of 

statutory authority Zero Waste SA. 

Constructed from zinc coated 

galvanised steel tubing, the 

artwork consists of three 6.5 

metre-wide ornamental ‘buoys’, 

each filled with coloured glass 

bottles in metal cages.

Port River 

Dolphin 

Cruise 

“The morning tea was quite a hit,” 

said organiser Sue Sharp, Team 

Leader of Council’s Community 

Services Programs. “A number 

of people said they thought they 

might get a couple of scones, but 

they were amazed at the spread 

they got to share.” 

“And we all got to see some 

dolphins, so no-one was 

disappointed,” she said. 

Now the second year the cruise 

has been staged as part of the 

Festival, Sue said many of the 

participants were particularly 

pleased to be able to see up close 

all the developments happening 

along the river. 

The sculpture has been designed 

to represent both the circulatory 

system within the human body 

and the systems of collection, 

recycling and reuse of valuable 

natural resources. 

Designed by local artists Greg 

Healey, Cathoel Jorss, James 

Hayter and Gregg Mitchell, Zero 

Waste Lifeline was chosen for 

commissioning from a shortlist of 

submissions, following a March 

2006 workshop for 30 interested 

sculptors, engineers, architects 

and designers. 

The Zero Waste Lifeline project 

was overseen by representatives 

from Port Adelaide Enfield 

Council - which will now assume 

management responsibility for the 

project, Arts SA, the Department 

for Environment and Heritage, the 

Department for Transport, Energy 

and Infrastructure and Zero 

Waste SA. 

A full year of culture 

The City of Port Adelaide Enfield 

is celebrating the richness of its 

multicultural mix this year with 

the inaugural 2008 Cultural 

Calendar. 

Every household in the Port 

Adelaide Enfield Council area will 

receive a copy of the Calendar, 

which features the faces and 

stories of 12 Port Adelaide 

Enfield residents from a range of 

backgrounds and cultures. 

Port Adelaide Enfield City 

Manager, Harry Wierda said the 

Calendar will become an annual 

publication, and will take pride 

of place in homes throughout the 

Council region. 

“We see the rich multicultural mix 

of Port Adelaide Enfield whenever 

we go to work, shopping, drop off 

the kids at school, or take part in 

community events”. 


Sunnybrae shines on 

The weather threatened again 

to cloud this year’s Sunnybrae 

festival, but sunny skies saw yet 

another successful event. 

Untiring event co-ordinator Seeta 

Gaston said more than 6,000 

people attended the 28 October 

spectacular at historic Sunnybrae 

Farm at Regency Park. 

A record 130 groups were 

involved in this year’s event, 

which had to be organised in 

just a few months. Long-time 

co-ordinators Seeta and Denis 

Robinsons were pleased to 

welcome new stall-holders 

and entertainers, plus a 

number of newcomers onto the 

organising committee, building 

the future of the popular and 

professional event. 

With 2007 marking 100 years of 

Scouting, the Sunnybrae Youth 

Corner was this year’s major new 

hit, supported by the Transport 

Training Centre at Regency Park, 

Windsor Gardens Vocational College, 

Ninja Kids, Our Lady of Sacred 

Heart College and the Port Adelaide 

Police Rangers. “The Scouts brought 

everything from slippery poles to 

Sumo wrestlers,” Ms Gaston said. 

Thanks from the organisations to 

the City of Port Adelaide Enfield 

Council, Sunnybrae Farm lessee 

Lui Semola and Nation Hire for 

their support. 

“The Cultural Calendar aims to 

tell some of the stories behind 

the faces – stories of pain, joy, 

excitement, freedom, separation 

and achievement,” Mr Wierda said. 

A snippet of the dozen local 

people celebrated in the 2008 

calendar include 80 year old Phyll 

Thomas from Northfield, who has 

lived for nearly 60 years in the 

area, Aboriginal artists Del Mannix 

and Karl Telfer, 17 year old 

Sudanese refugee Martin Deng and 

Tongan lecturer Tangi Steen. 

As well as their own personal 

achievements, each of the 

participants has contributed 

strongly to the local community in 

their own ways. 

“We hope their stories and spirits 

are an inspiration to everyone, and 

an affirmation of the richness of the 

Port Adelaide Enfield community,” 

Mayor Gary Johanson said. 

The Calendar will be delivered in December please call our Customer Service team if you don’t

Counting In Kaurna 

Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal 

children – and adults – will be 

able to learn the Kaurna language 

through a bright new book 

created and launched in Port 

Adelaide Enfield. 

The Counting in Kaurna book 

celebrates the local Indigenous 

language and is set to be a vital 

tool in sustaining local Aboriginal 

culture. 

Launching the book at the Kalaya 

Children’s Centre in Queenstown 

during Council’s inaugural Nunga 

Week, Port Adelaide Enfield 

Mayor Gary Johanson said the 

book is testimony to how different 

agencies can work together to 

produce outstanding resources. 

Above: Mayor Gary Johanson poses with the Staff and children 

from Kalaya Children’s Centre after the book launch. 

An award for that special man 

Nominations are now open for 

the Man Alive! 2008 Award for 

men who have made a significant 

contribution to improving the lives 

of others in the community. 

The award will be presented at next 

year’s Man Alive! 2008 event, whose 

coordinator Pip Messent says he is 

looking forward to receiving new 

stories about men that celebrate 

their achievements. 

The Man Alive! festival, first 

staged in 2004, will take place 

on Sunday 16 March 2008 on the 

Semaphore Foreshore, with Graeme 

Goodings as MC. 

“Man Alive! is a festival 

celebrating the positive 

contribution by men 

in our community, and 

promoting men’s health 

and well-being,” Pip 

says. “For many people 

presentation of the award is 

the highlight of the festival 

as it acknowledges men 

who, through inspiration, 

encouragement, 

support, commitment 

and application, have 

improved the quality of 

life for others.” 

The event will feature live 

music and entertainment, 

a Fling-a-Thong contest 

and other fun activities 

for everyone to enjoy. 

“This bright and colourful 

publication is one of the best 

I’ve ever seen, and a great asset - 

not only for the people who are 

directly involved but the whole 

community,” he said. 

The award carries a prize of 

a SeaLink Travel voucher for 

accommodation at either the Ozone 

Seafront Hotel, Southern Vales B&B 

or Tenshi Beach House. 

Pip says if you know a man who 

has made the community a better 

place to live in by their positive 

actions, or a man who has been 

important in your life, send in 

his story (in 250 words or less) 

with a photo. Nomination forms 

can be downloaded from the 

website www.manalivefestival.com 

or by contacting Pip at Enfield 

Community Health Centre on 

8342 8600. 

He paid tribute to: 

• Staff and the Management 

Committee of Kalaya 

• The Kalaya children for their 

great drawings 

• Rob Amery and members of 

Kaurna Warra Pintyandi who 

assisted with the Kaurna text 

• Local graphic designer Dani 

McLean who brought it all 

together and gave much of her 

time generously. 

Mr Johanson said he was proud 

the City of Port Adelaide Enfield 

has been able to assist the 

project through its Community 

Development Grants Program. 

Copies can be purchased from 

Kalaya or Port Adelaide Visitor 

Information Centre 8405 6560. 



General News 

First in world for 

graffiti battle 

Two specially designed 

tricycles – believed to be 

the first of their kind in 

the world - are opening 

a new front on the war 

against graffiti in Port 

Adelaide Enfield. 

The electrically-powered 

trikes are being used by 

Council’s volunteer graffiti 

removal team – the Grafters. They 

each have an electric assist drive 

and store a first aid kit, drink 

bottle, safety cones and a 20 litre 

water tank for graffiti removal. 

Port Adelaide Enfield Mayor Gary 

Johanson said the Grafters have 

already done an amazing job over 

the past three years, removing 

around 37,000 square metres of 

tags and pieces of graffiti. And the 

new trikes, he said at their official 

launch, will take graffiti removal 

to a new level. 

It’s all part of the Council’s 

Graffiti Management Program 

that helps reduce the incidence 

of graffiti by means of volunteer 

support, education and 

community consultation. 

“We’re determined to minimise 

the effects of graffiti that leave 

such a terrible scar on our 

community,” Mr Johanson said. 

The Grafters focus on commercial 

and private properties as well 

as Council buildings, using 

non-flammable solvents and water 

based paint to repair the damage. 

They recently identified the 

6.3km Semaphore Foreshore 

as a graffiti hot spot. 

Lights go on for hospital Christmas appeal 

Householders displaying Christmas 

lights during the festive season 

this year will have an opportunity 

to raise money for the Women’s 

& Children’s Hospital Foundation 

through its inaugural Christmas 

Lights Appeal. 

The WCH Foundation is asking 

those households across South 

Australia who display Christmas 

lights to collect gold coin donations 

from the viewing public. 

It’s easy to get involved. 

Householders will be provided 

with tins and posters which can 

be displayed during the Christmas 

period to encourage spectators to 

make a small donation to the 

WCH Foundation. 

The Foundation is the charity 

attached to the Women’s & 

Children’s Hospital, which provides 

world-class facilities and care to 

the 280,000 women, babies and 

children who are treated in the 

hospital each year. 

The money raised by the Christmas 

Lights Appeal may go towards 

purchasing new equipment, making 

improvements to the hospital or 

funding research into the way 

it diagnoses and treats serious 

childhood illness. 

The campaign will run throughout 

November and December, 

with the official launch on 

30 November marked by 

the lighting of the WCH 

Foundation Christmas tree 

at the hospital’s Kermode 

Street entrance. 

Householders wanting 

to be involved should 

contact the Foundation 

by 23 November 

to register their 

Christmas lights 

display. They will 

then be sent a 

fundraising kit. 

To register 

interest or

Dynamic trio take on 

the Masters 

Two ‘parks sports & fitness’ Swim 

Club customers, Natasha Barber 

and Christine Kalogeras, and one 

staff member, Kellie Campbell, 

competed with distinction at the 

National Masters Games that were 

held recently in Adelaide. 

Natasha and Christine, who have 

been in training for only eight 

months, competed in a range of 

events in the female 30-34 age 

group. Both swimmers achieved 

personal best 

times, competing 

in 12 events 

between them. 

Natasha won 

gold medals 

in the 50m 

and 100m 

freestyle, and 

silver medals 

in the 400m 

freestyle, and 

50m, 100m

‘parks sports & fitness’ has gone 

through some important changes 

recently. The cardio fitness room has 

been upgraded and moved upstairs, 

while the Parks Community Centre 

crèche has been relocated to ‘parks 

sports & fitness’ centre. 

The bright, fun crèche includes 

new kitchen facilities and has 

a range of toys and games for 

children. 

You’re invited to take a look at

continue with the regular ‘parks 

sports & fitness’ classes throughout 

the year. For further information 

contact ‘parks sports & fitness’ 

on 8243 5683. 

Christine Kalogeras 

Christine won silver medals in 

the 50m and 100m backstroke, 

and bronze medals in the 50m 

and 100m freestyle, 50m butterfly 

and 200m backstroke. Their times 

qualify both of them to compete 

in the World Championships to be 

held in Perth in 2008. 

Kellie, who has two children 

aged two and three, competed in 

the gymnastics competition for 

competitors aged over 20 years. 

She took part in the team event, 

which involved four participants 

competing in four events - the 

uneven bars, vault, beam and 

the floor competition. 

Although Kellie had not done 

any gymnastics for more than 

eight years, her team won the 

gold medal. 

“It was great to get out there and 

give it a go,” Kellie said. “It’s all 

about having fun and not worrying 

about what other people think”. 

Exercise & Christmas 

With lots of festive season social 

functions to attend, the temptation 

is great for people to indulge in lots 

of unhealthy food and drink too 

much alcohol. 

That means it is definitely the 

right time to also be scheduling in 

exercise to help burn up as many of 

those excess calories as possible. 

The effects of extra eating can be a 

little scary as these figures show: 

• Burning off a single slice of 

Hawaiian pizza will require 45 

minutes of hard riding uphill; 

• to burn off one muffin you will 

need to cycle strongly for 90 

minutes, and 

• two large handfuls of potato 

chips will have you participating 

in a 30 minute high intensity 

aerobics class. 

A handful of peanuts will take you 

2553 steps to walk off - that’s 770 

metres on a treadmill. Four jelly 

babies equals 1070 steps or 320 

metres on a treadmill, and two 

pieces of chocolate equals 1786 

steps or 536 metres on a treadmill. 

That might be enough to persuade 

you to eat carefully over the festive 

season, but if it’s exercise you 

choose instead, then ‘parks sports 

and fitness’ can provide the answer. 

Stay slim and smart 

Now the days are warmer and longer 

it’s time to pull out your summer 

clothes and try them on for size. 

They don’t fit any more? It is so easy 

to put on weight and lose fitness in 

the winter months, but ‘parks sports 

& fitness’ has all the facilities you 

need to get back into shape. 

There are fitness programs and 

activities to cater for all fitness levels 

and interests, which will achieve 

and maintain your fitness goals. 

Our gymnasium is fully equipped 

with both pin loaded and free 

weights. All memberships include 

a comprehensive, personalised 

gym program that is specific to 

individual fitness levels and needs. 

This is extremely important for 

those with injuries. 

You can choose between the 

cardio room with its new, state of 

the art treadmills; a group fitness 

class including the ever popular 

BODYPUMP or BODYCOMBAT; 

have a relaxing sauna, aquarobics or 

simply take a swim - the ultimate 

training session in hot weather.

Flotilla for Kids 

bigger and better 

The 2008 Flotilla for Kids event, 

to be staged on Sunday, 10 

February looks set to be the 

biggest and best ever, with fun 

for all the family. 

Organisers are expecting the 

largest ever flotilla of boats 

to assemble at Outer Harbor 

in support of children living 

with cancer, with interest from 

sponsors also growing. 

The 2007 event, which involved 

close to 200 boats, raised 

$50,000 for Camp Quality and 

will help send more than 200 

young children and their carers 

to a once-in-a-lifetime experience 

visiting the theme parks of the 

Gold Coast. 

Families are encouraged to 

be early and secure a viewing 

location to cheer on the 2008 

Flotilla as it makes it way around 

the Inner Harbour. The boats will 

head up the Port River from 11am 

to parade in front of the wharf at 

the Harts Mill precinct at around 

12.15pm. Musicians, street 

performers and face painters will 

provide free entertainment at the 

Harts Mill precinct between 11am 

and 2pm, with food and drink 

stalls also on hand. 

Flotilla for Kids founder and 

patron, Annie Rogers, said thanks 

for the success of the 2007 event 

must go to the outstanding 

support of the boating community 

and a variety of support sponsors, 

including the City of Port 

Adelaide Enfield and the 

Port Centre Coordination 

Group (Comprises: Land 

Management Corporation, 

Newport Quays and the 

City of Port Adelaide 

Enfield). Among the 

Flotilla were crafts 

from the Royal 

Australian Navy, 

Coast Guard 

Adelaide, Royal 

SA Yacht 

Squadron and 

the Cruising 

Yacht Club 

of SA.

Don’t let what you cook make you crook 

More than five million 

Australians get sick each year 

from eating food contaminated 

with bacteria or viruses. 

This figure is extraordinarily 

high considering Australia has 

one of the safest food supplies 

in the world – which means the 

problem is almost certainly due 

to us, consumers who mistreat or 

mishandle food. 

You can prevent food poisoning 

by following four key rules: 

Clean: Wash hands with soap, 

rinse and dry thoroughly before 

starting to cook and after handling 

raw meats or vegetables with 

visible soil. 

Wash and dry chopping boards, 

utensils and work surfaces 

after preparing raw meats. Use 

thoroughly cleaned chopping 

board, utensils and crockery 

for food that is ready to eat 

such as salads and food that 

will not be cooked or heated 

before being eaten. 

Cook: Cook chicken, minced or 

boned meats, hamburger, stuffed 

meats and sausages right through 

until all juices are clear. 

Family fun at Chicago Fair 

This year’s popular and successful 

Chicago Fair in Kilburn was not 

only a place for good food and 

fun – but good health too. 

Among a record 49 stallholders 

at this year’s event on 20 

Saturday, October was a special 

new Wellbeing Space, 

which offered massage, 

conversations, kids 

activities, information 

on health services, 

drugs and alcohol, 

legal information, 

gardening tips 

and much, 

much more. 

Defrost frozen poultry and rolled 

and stuffed meats thoroughly 

before cooking. Always follow 

cooking instructions on packaged 

foods. Reheat to steaming hot 

before eating. 

Chill: Keep your fridge at 

5 degrees Celsius or below. 

Keep perishable food in the fridge. 

Refrigerate hot food as soon as 

it stops steaming. Refrigerate 

leftovers promptly. 

Separate: Keep raw meat and 

poultry from touching other food. 

Keep raw meat and poultry in the 

bottom of the fridge or in a sealed 

container so it can’t drip onto 

other food. Cover all stored food. 

Remember, if you are sick, ask 

someone else to cook or get takeaway 

food – don’t spread your 

bugs to others. 

By following these tips, you 

can help ensure that you, and 

people you cook for, are safe 

from food poisoning. 

For further information please 

contact one of Council’s 

Environmental Health Officers 

on 8405 6832. 

Nearly 100 health checks 

were also done on the day by 

doctors, nurses and allied health 

professionals, organised by the 

Lions Club of Prospect Blair 

Athol and Enfield Community 

Health. The Kilburn Blair Athol 

Community Action Group, which 

organises the annual event, was 

also thrilled with the growing 

participation of newly arrived 

communities, with the Afghan 

and Sudanese communities 

providing fantastic food stalls 

alongside the more established 

Chinese community. 

“This was a real priority for us 

this year and we hope to build 

on it in the years to come,” 

Bernie McEvoy, Chicago Fair 

Organising Committe said. “The 

Kilburn and Blair Athol area has 

a strong community identity and 

the Chicago Fair provides a great 

chance for everyone – from the 

oldest residents to the newest 

and youngest arrivals 

- to meet up.” 

The large entertainment program, 

which ranged from Tongan and 

Burundi dancers through to the 

Gepps Cross Girls High band and 

blues legend Chris Finnen, also 

reflected the multicultural nature 

of the area today. 

Also popular was a wonderful 

art exhibition featuring the work 

of 160 children from eight local 

schools, on the theme of ‘My 

place in the community’. This 

reinforced the official opening by 

Port Adelaide Enfield Mayor 

Gary Johanson, who invited 

on stage a large group of local 

community leaders, to 

thank them for 

their commitment.
