2 Centralian Advocate, Tuesday, August 7, 2012 P U B : C A D V D A T E : 7 -A U G -2 0 1 2 P A G E : 2 C O L O R : C M Y K A: Because there are still products that are a fair bit cheaper per standard drink than full-strength beer. Two pubs continue to sell take-away cask wine and at least one sells cheap forti ed wine. If extremely low-priced grog is not available, many problem drinkers will shift to less damaging beer as the cheapest drink. Many did so in 2006 when the Licensing Commission put limits on when and how much cask and forti ed wine could be bought and they will do it again with a regulated oor price. PAAC: Peoples Alcohol Action Coalition www.paac.org.au Q: If Alice Springs supermarkets already have a voluntary oor price and dont sell cask wine or cheap port and sherry, why do we still need government regulation? 1 0 1 3 3 0 3 Invitation to Interested Parents The Alice Springs Steiner School would like to invite you to attend a SCHOOL TOUR on Wednesday, 8th of August 2012 at 8.45am Lot 9523 Ragonesi Road This tour is for parents interested in either Early childhood or Primary years education.

US buys rail assets A 1941 photo of a cattle train in the middle of the railyards n From Page 1 Concerns over the increase in rail traffic and its effect on Alice Springs were raised last year by Alice Springs Town Council, when trains were cutting off east and west-bound traffic across the Stuart Highway. The public debate led to the NT Government investigating the feasibility of building a rail overpass on Larapinta Drive, near the Stuart HighwayLarapinta Drive intersection. Protesters in Alice Springs have also voiced concerns about the transportation of uranium oxide and copper concentrate from BHP Billitons Olympic Dam Mine in South Australia through Alice Springs to Darwin. Olympic Dam is set to be one of the largest open-cut uranium mines in the world. The protesters say extra trains, as a result of the mine expansion, would increase the risk of derailments and accidents, and also threatens the health of people living around the railyards in Alice Springs. Genesee & Wyoming Incorporated predicts its new annual revenue will be about $1.4 billion, a revenue comparable with that of one of Australias largest power companies, Country Energy. Genesee & Wyoming Incorporated employs 4300 people across its businesses in the US, Australia, Canada, the Netherlands and Belgium.
