24.01.2022 STOP THE SPREAD! Together we need to keep stopping the spread of COVID-19. Because when we practise good hand hygiene, we can keep going out.... By getting tested and staying home when we're unwell, we can keep enjoying our free time when we're better. When we keep physical distancing, we can keep catching up with family and friends. We've done a great job of stopping the spread so far, but let's not undo all the good. For up to date information go to: www.stopthespread.sa.gov.au

15.01.2022 The Australian Government has announced $40 million in funding to support projects that create jobs and employment opportunities for women, including women from diverse backgrounds. Organisations are invited to apply for grant funding under the Women’s Leadership and Development Program (WLDP). The funding is part of the Women@Work measure announced in the 2020 Women’s Economic Security Statement and like the Australian Government’s JobMaker Plan, is focused on the re-opening..., recovery and reform of Australia’s economy. The WLDP will target projects that will improve outcomes for Australian women across five key areas: job creation; economic security; workforce participation; leadership; and safety. The funding will help boost women’s employment and set Australian women up for future jobs. Projects funded under the 2018-19 WLDP grant opportunity are encouraged to apply for a continuation or expansion of their project. Projects that are scalable, transferable across industries and occupations, and those that focus on supporting women from different backgrounds (including rural, remote and regional women) are also encouraged. The grant opportunity will close at 11:00PM AEDT on Wednesday 9 December 2020. https://www.pmc.gov.au//womens-leadership-and-development-

15.01.2022 Got Salvation Jane on your property? Here’s how to look for the biological control agents that can keep this pervasive weed at bay. Landscape Officers Jess ...Cavallo and David Hughes demonstrate a quick and easy way to look for the friendly root and crown weevils in your paddock. All you need is a shovel and piece of white cardboard or old corflute sign. And if you don’t find any, we’d love to hear from you! While we can’t release the agents this year due to low numbers, we hope to work out the priority areas for biological control in the next few years. Please get in touch with the Northern and Yorke Landscape Board on 8841 3400. And don’t forget there are other ways to keep on top of Salvation Jane: Outcompete weeds by growing healthy pastures and local, indigenous plants Avoid overgrazing areas as Salvation Jane thrives on bare ground . . .

10.01.2022 AUTHOR TALK - VICTORIA PURMAN & HER NEW BOOK 'THE WOMEN'S PAGES' - FRIDAY, 6 NOVEMBER 2020 From the bestselling author of The Land Girls comes a beautifully realised novel that speaks to the true history and real experiences of post-war Australian women. Sydney 1945 The war is over, the fight begins.... The war is over and so are the jobs (and freedoms) of tens of thousands of Australian women. The armaments factories are making washing machines instead of bullets and war correspondent Tilly Galloway has hung up her uniform and been forced to work on the women's pages of her newspaper - the only job available to her - where she struggles to write advice on fashion and make-up. As Sydney swells with returning servicemen and the city bustles back to post-war life, Tilly finds her world is anything but normal. As she desperately waits for word of her prisoner-of-war husband, she begins to research stories about the lives of the underpaid and overworked women who live in her own city. Those whose war service has been overlooked; the freedom and independence of their war lives lost to them. Meanwhile Tilly's waterside worker father is on strike, and her best friend Mary is struggling to cope with the stranger her own husband has become since being liberated from Changi a broken man. As strikes rip the country apart and the news from abroad causes despair, matters build to a heart-rending crescendo. Tilly realises that for her the war may have ended, but the fight is just beginning...

03.01.2022 Christmas message from Mayor Wayne Thomas To me, Christmas is about family and gratitude. It is also a time of reflection. As I look forward to celebrating Christmas 2020, I look back over the difficulties of this Covid 19 affected year and think of how the first Christmas was fraught with problems too.... This year, some family will not be able to celebrate with us. However, unlike previous generations, we have electronic means of keeping in touch and for this I am grateful. The growing season turned out better than it threatened earlier in the year, and visitors have returned. For this I am grateful. Both the people and environment of this district are relatively healthy. For this too, I am grateful. This Christmas we hope to gather together as many family members as we can. But I will also be remembering those less fortunate those whose businesses have been negatively affected and also those who will be socially isolated this year. I wish everyone a happy, holy Christmas which brings refreshment, so we can all enter 2021 with enthusiasm for a positive future.
