Celebrating Australia Day

Our silent achievers J AUSTRALIA Day is a celebration for our nation – and a day when local communities honour the “silent achievers” who are always there getting things done and helping out. J At ceremonies across the region next Monday, awards will be presented to Balaklava’s Es Hoepner and Lucy Radowicz as Wakefield Regional Council “Citizens of the Year”, while District

Council of Mallala will honour Two Wells couple Kay and Mark Boon and Lewiston student Matthew Harmati. J Other important “Achievement Awards” will be presented in Balaklava by community group, Balaklava Area Committee. J Dulcie Williams, a shining star among community helpers, and young achiever Gavin Hahesy are this year’s winners.

She can be spotted helping a friend in need just about any day of the week, or pouring cuppas at local functions. Chances are, if there’s an opportunity to help out, Balaklava’s Dulcie Williams will be there. While never seeking acknowledgement for her ongoing contribution to the local community, Dulcie’s generosity has not gone unrecognised. When Balaklava Area Commit-

tee sent out a call for nominations for its Australia Day achievement awards, three people immediately thought of Dulcie and nominated her for the award. “For as long as I have known Dulcie she has always been the one to put up her hand when there has been work to be done,” said Margaret Gleeson, one of those who nominated Dulcie. • Continued Page 2

Dulcie is always there

Gavin shows the way

For a 22-year-old, Gavin Hahesy certainly has an impressive list of achievements to his name. Despite a strong involvement with the local show and two prestigious awards, Gavin is a quiet achiever, and he has been recognised by Balaklava Area Committee with an Australia Day youth achievement award. After growing up and completing his schooling in Balaklava, Gavin completed a mechanics apprenticeship

with his father, John Hahesy. Having worked with his dad for several years, it was no challenge to Gavin, who was named Second Year Apprentice of the Year through TAFE. Gavin now works for local farmer Brett Roberts as a farm hand and mechanic. When Gavin was just 18, Marty Barker approached him to convene the ute competition at the Balaklava Show. • Continued Page 2

The Plains Producer, Wednesday January 21, 2009

DISTRICT

Holidays are winding up ... it’s time to talk rubbish!

E’RE baaa-ack! Our last issue of 2008 seems eons ago – but as you can see from this first edition of 2009, there’s still plenty happening on the Adelaide Plains and beyond. The local towns appear still to be on holiday, though bowls and cricket have cranked up again, which means at least some people are about the place to help fill the shops. How was Wallaklava? Or were you up river, at Balatown? Did you join Marc and Fred for a beer on the porch of the unit at West Balaklava caravan park? Or maybe Turtaklava was your scene, packed into that small park by the jetty. Thankfully, the new tavern is close by, so you could escape the neighbours when you tired of enjoying their breakfast conversations. We went to Hobart ... and do you know, I didn’t see one person from our neck of the woods. We joined the yachties from the Sydney-Hobart race, which was wonderful. To be part of the crew, I purchased a polo shirt which made me appear as one of them. It was a steal at $90, with the

MY VIEW

Terry Williams

EDITOR “official” Sydney-Hobart race logo – except I still did not really morph into a yachting type. Had I been about 25, with a week’s beard, perpetually “three sheets to the wind” and permanently ensconced in one of Hobart’s dockside pubs, then I might have made the grade. But Hobart during the yachtie convention is wonderful and I urge everyone to go there. We walked everywhere (because there were no cars to hire), the food at the amazing “Taste of Tasmania” was delightful and the people were friendly. I think I even met a Tasmanian. The Taste is something we are all familiar with here in SA

(restaurants and wineries combining in a location) but on the dockside it was even better. Something we could do at Port Adelaide – or could have done – if any of the old woolsheds remain after the alleged “revitalisation” of the Port. Hobart itself is a great city, with a mall which leaves Adelaide’s for dead. It even has a covering, for those rainy days, which do seem to come fairly often in Tassie. I did notice a bit of litter, which was to be expected... but here in SA there’s none of that, with the container deposit scheme. Good on SA for going it alone on such a recycling scheme. It should be introduced nationally, but apparently the “big boys” of soft drink and liquor sales are dead against it. Which brings me back to the Plains and Wakefield Regional Council. And you thought I wasn’t going to mention local councils this year! Well, I did fleetingly consider a New Year’s resolution to not mention council at all in the My View columns of 2009. But as you would understand, resolutions are made to be broken, so I decided to shelve

that one before even getting serious. Sorry councillors. The others, too numerous to mention, went the same way. But this recycling idea has merit. I am talking locally, in the Wakefield Regional Council and District Council of Mallala areas. Did you know WRC is considering a similar scheme to Mallala? We published on December 3 last year a report on a proposal before WRC. It involves WRC moving to a twobin system – one for general kitchen and household rubbish and another for recyclables. That seems a good idea. But did you know the plan is to collect each bin fortnightly. That means your bin full of rotten kitchen scraps and disposable nappies and the like will now only be collected every fortnight, alternatively with the recyclable bin. I reckon that stinks! Why we should take a retrograde step because of recycling is beyond me. Yes, we all want to recycle ... but why is WRC considering foisting a sub-standard waste collection service upon its residents? I have

written a personal plea – similar to that reflected here – to Central Ward councillor, Kelly Bickle, about the scheme, which probably will not come into force until the second half of this year. Admittedly, council is only now considering the concept, so it could change. Which means there is time for residents to voice their concerns (should you have any). Councillor Bickle was forewarned in my letter to her as a ratepayer I might just bring the issue to public notice in this space in The Plains Producer. So I don’t feel as though I am breaking any confidences. It would be interesting to hear from readers just what you think about the idea of a fortnightly rubbish collection service. Are we going backwards at a time when this region is supposed to be moving forward and attempting to attract new residents and businesses to the region? What do you say? Go to our website, www.plainsproducer.com.au. Or just call in to our office and tell us what you think. And tell a councillor!

Independent could steal Frome The Liberal party may lose the seat of Frome to an independent as the result of last Saturday’s by-election. The result of the election is not expected to be known until Thursday, and while the Liberals, who have held Frome since 1970, were cautiously optimistic immediately after the election, it was later revealed preferences could see the seat go to independent candidate Geoff Brock, the Mayor of Port Pirie. While Liberal candi-

date Terry Boylan was optimistically calling Saturday’s by-election “an absolute belting for Labor,” Labor party sources were saying the result was “too close to call.” Whatever the result, the by-election is a blow for both major parties, with the result sure to be scrutinised by party powerbrokers, in the lead up to the 2010 state election. The final result is not expected to be known until the end of the week,

be an excellent result.’’ Independent candidate Mr Brock appears to have almost halved Labor’s vote, with the vote candidate for John Rohde crashing from 41 per cent when he was candidate in 2006, to just 25.1 per cent. The Liberal vote has dropped around 10 per cent, with Mr Brock clearly benefiting, despite polling poorly outside the township of Port Pirie. The distribution of preferences will play a major part in the result, with no candidates preferencing Liberal - a move which clearly upset Liberal Leader Martin Hamilton-Smith who labelled the SA Nationals “disgraceful” saying a

with a high number (almost 5,000) pre-poll and postal votes set to decide the seat. Whilst the Liberals could have expected to lose some ground considering the high personal vote of outgoing member and former Premier Rob Kerin, they also would have anticipated gaining from disaffected Labor supporters, particularly in light of last year’s country health debacle. A recount conducted by the State Electoral office is expected to see Labor pick up the benefit of a one per cent swing. ALP state secretary Michael Brown said “(the swing) is not enough to win this seat, but we are in government, so it would

Greens candidate, retired librarian Joy O’Brien, refused to direct preferences, while Mr Brock and Nationals candidate and Port Pirie deputy mayor Neville Wilson agreed to swap theirs.

Dulcie a community ‘gem’ • From Page 1 Whether it’s washing dishes at functions, or contributing as a CWA member, croquet club and senior citizens member, Dulcie is always busy helping. “More important than any of these is the help she gives to the sick or elderly,” Mrs Gleeson said. “Every day you will see her accompanying a resident of Mill Court down the street to do their shopping, or if they are unable to go out, she calls first at Mill Court to get the shopping orders.” And Dulcie is always at the ready to wheel residents to bingo sessions and other Mill Court functions, or events at the town hall. Ira Parker Nursing Home benefits from similar assistance, and the wider community appreciates Dulcie’s cups of tea at RSL ceremonies, where she ensures the urn is ready. Nancy Williams agreed Dulcie had made a phenomenal contribution to the

community. In her nomination, Nancy, who is no relation, said Dulcie was “always there when someone needs a hand.” Dulcie has always been a hard worker, raising children Kelvin and Colleen, working for Eudunda Farmers and then the Terminus Hotel, working and later volunteering for Country Home Advocacy Project (CHAP), and still helps the town’s elderly with their cleaning. When Mill Court has a bus trip for their clients, Dulcie will be there to help. And she is a regular face in the dining room at Balaklava Racing Club. Grace Anders, who Dulcie assists to have her hair done regularly, said she was “one of the gems of our community, a behind the scenes worker and not looking for accolades”. Dulcie will receive her award from the Balaklava Area Committee on Australia Day, where once again, she expects to be manning the urn.

Gavin shows the way for youth • From Page 1 With the help of a couple of mates, Gavin was quick to come on board, and five years later the competition continues to grow and flourish, proving a very popular attraction at the show. And Gavin’s commitment to the show has continued to grow. Last year he held the position of vice president with the show society, and this year takes over as president, replacing outgoing president Nollene Grigg. Gavin was named Young Rural Ambassador at the Balaklava Show in 2006, going on to represent the area in

finals at Burra. He has also been a keen entrant in the men’s cooking section at the show. Nominator and former show society president Nollene Grigg said Gavin was “a quiet achiever with an infectious smile, and the community would benefit greatly with more young people like him volunteering.” For Gavin, his involvement in the show is something he is all too happy to do. “If young people don’t get involved it’s not going to last much longer,” he said.

End of era for two Balaklava traders Langdon’s Shoe Store, an icon of Balaklava retailing for 75 years, will close on Saturday, January 31. And Balaklava Motors ceased operating as a Holden dealer on January 1, after 79 years as a dealer. The business will continue to sell used cars and service cars. Langdon’s Shoe Store proprietor, Ian Langdon, said the business would be relocating to another regional centre to operate in conjunction with Langdon’s Clare shoe store, which has been successfully operating for the last seven and a half years. “This was a very difficult decision to make,” Ian said. “But a business must return a profit and the sales in our George street store have not shown enough growth over the past few years. “Sales have not diminished greatly, but the size of Balaklava’s population is not enough to support a modern day footwear store. “What has worked against us is the lack of similar fashion retailers in Balaklava. “With no clothing stores, apart from Tads, people tend to do their apparel shopping in

Balaklava Motors was established in 1914, selling Fords and Studebakers until it became a GM Holden dealership in 1930. But while no longer authorised to sell new Holdens, Scott assured customers nothing else would change. “We are still the Holden specialists and look forward to looking after the needs of local Holden owners for many years to come,” he said. “It will be business as usual, we will still sell used cars, service cars and stock a large range of genuine Holden parts.” Balaklava Motors still has two demonstrator 2008 Holden Colorado diesels in stock for sale (one with only 14 kms on the clock).

Vandals damage parkland artwork By Lauren Parker The Balaklava community has been disgusted by an attack of vandalism on a public artwork, created by an internationally recognised local artist, with the help of local school students. The mosaic benches, created by artist Marie Jonsson-Harrison with the help of both Balaklava primary and high school students, have been a cheerful and popular addition to the parklands. But over the weekend, heartless vandals chipped off the faces of the characters depicted on the bench, leaving behind a mess of shattered tiles. Eight-year-old Taylor Bull, of Lobethal, has been visiting her Balaklava grandparents Laurie and Raelene Bull. She walked through the parklands every day with her young cousin Chloe Bull, and on her way to the swimming pool. Taylor was so disappointed by the attack she wrote a letter to this newspaper (right). Wakefield Regional Council is also disappointed by the attack against public property. Chief executive officer, Phil Barry, said it was not only abuse of public property, but also an attack against the young people who put hours of effort into the project. “Our community takes a lot of pride and ownership in facilities they manage and maintain and have input into,” he said. Council is discussing

Brazen thieves escape Two Wells

THIEVES stole property from a market garden in Virginia, right before the eyes of the farmers last Thursday. Police allege the farmers were working in the garden when three youths entered the property on two motorcycles. Wearing full face helmets, the youths allegedly entered a caravan used as a tea room, stealing a mobile phone and a purse containing the victim’s cards and some cash. Although the farmers ran towards the offenders, they were able to get back on their motorcycles and flee the scene. The market gardener described the bikes as being small dirt bikes, with an engine capacity no greater than 80cc. Two Wells police are keen to hear from anyone with information about the incident. Call the station on 85 20 2309 or BankSA Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. • A Virginia motorcyclist suffered shoulder and chest inquiries after he was allegedly cut off by a fourwheel-drive while riding on Old Port Wakefield Road, Virginia, on Tuesday, January 13. Police said the 43-year-old was allegedly riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle when he was overtaken by the four-wheel-drive, driven by an unknown person. Police enquiries continue in an effort to identify the alleged driver. • A 26-year-old market gardener was issued with an expiation notice after igniting a fire at Gawler River last Thursday. Police allege the Virginia man was burning dead zucchini vine on a high risk fire day. Two Wells CFS quickly extinguished the fire.

Formerly known as Mandatory Notification Training, the workshop is suitable for staff and volunteers, contractors and consultants who provide services or work with children (under 18 years of age), their supervisors and managers. Supported by Mallala District Council training will be held from 10am–2pm at $60 per person.

The committee was formed in 2005, with a fundraising target of $150,000. And with the help of the most recent donation and a major event planned for later this year, Mr Crabb said they were confident of reaching the target this year, keeping the hospital self funded. “The members of the Mallala community should be acknowledged for their support,” Mr Crabb said. “Community members are aware of the job the hospital does and they have supported the community fundraising accordingly.”

130 years of schooling at Snowtown The advertising brochures tell us it will soon be “back to school” time. We all know there are many schools in the Adelaide Plains/Lower North region, and recorded history tells us that formal schooling began in Snowtown in 1879, just one year after the township was proclaimed. “Where the population of schoolgoing children was small or uncertain”, the government opened “provisional schools” which then became permanent when attending numbers were assured. Such was the case at Snowtown - Miss Rebecca Lamb was the first teacher, in charge of 14 pupils, and the classroom was a room attached to “Mr. Lamb’s house” (presumably he was Miss Lamb’s father). The government paid the rent. By 1880 the permanence of a school was recognised, so building began in early 1881 on a section of land east of the town and parklands. “The building, of stone construction,

contained one classroom and a residence for a married head teacher, all under one roof.” August 7, 1881 was the first day of schooling in the new building - Mr. R G S Payne was the new schoolmaster (Miss Lamb’s services were terminated). By October 1881 there were 56 pupils and numbers continued to grow; by 1892 there were more than 100, and space had become a problem. One class was using the porch and there was still only one trained teacher, although he was assisted by one Monitor from

1886, increasing to two Monitors for a period after 1898. It is also recorded that night classes were being conducted in 1890, but no records remain to tell us whether this was regular schooling or “some form of vocational training.” 1892 saw an extra classroom added, and a second teacher appointed, but conditions were still overcrowded and this situation remained until major renovations took place in 1924. While this work was being done, the children were relocated to the Methodist hall where there was even worse over-crowding, in which “both teaching and discipline suffered”. Agricultural plots were established in the early 1920s, woodwork facilities were provided in 1927, and domestic arts in 1930. By this time a third assistant, trained in domestic arts, was appointed but there were still only two classrooms for the “teaching of ordinary subjects”

– years 6-7 were being taught in the shelter shed. After much pleading, the government provided a portable classroom in 1934. Post-primary education often meant children going to Adelaide, Clare or Kadina although, in 1935, Mrs Morris (the head teacher’s wife) taught book-keeping, shorthand and typing on Saturday mornings. Snowtown became a Higher Primary School in 1941, and became Snowtown Area School in 1961 when all similar schools were officially renamed. A new school was built in the 1970s, with the formal opening on December 4 1975. The original school building was demolished and portable buildings were relocated to other places. This year marks 130 years of formal schooling in Snowtown – is anything being planned to mark the occasion?

A sustainable water source for the Adelaide Plains is one step closer after Wakefield Group secured funding for a study into various water recycling and recharge options. Focusing on the Gawler River, possible aquifer recharge, stormwater recycling and water catchments, Wakefield Group, a group representing the interests and priorities of councils in the Wakefield electorate, has named the project as one of its top priorities. Chief executive officer, Terry Bell, said Wakefield Group had successfully secured a grant of $30,000 from the Stormwater Management Authority, which it hopes to match from other sources and council contributions. “The idea is to come up with the feasibility study and then depending on that, seek further funding, possibly from Commonwealth government,

for the project itself.” Mr Bell said he expected the project would be of high interest to local industries and businesses, and he hoped Wakefield Group may be able to gain financial support from some of those who would benefit from the project. “We believe there are other parties who are interested enough in extracting water from the Gawler River,” he said. “There’s a major economic gain in the movement of water for the irrigation industry.” District Council of Mallala CEO, Damien Moloney, was pleased the group received confirmation of funding just before Christmas. He said Wakefield Group hoped to get a consultant on board as soon as possible to complete the feasibility study, allowing the group to determine where to go next and seek funding.

FIRST CITIZENS’ PARLIAMENT

Orthopaedic health care boost in Clare

PUBLIC transport is just one of Ira Zettler’s concerns to be raised at the Citizens’ Parliament in Canberra.

Ira will take local issues to Canberra Roseworthy resident Ira Zettler is one of 150 citizens from around Australia to participate in Australia’s first Citizens’ Parliament at Old Parliament House from February 6 to 9, 2009. Citizens’ Parliament is an initiative launched by the newDemocracy Foundation in 2007, which will bring together residents to deliberate on Australia’s political system and put forth options for reform. Ira was selected at random from more than 8500 people who were invited to be participants of the program. In the lead up to the Citizens’ Parliament Ira attended an initial regional meeting held by the newDemocracy Foundation to contemplate the question: “How can Australia’s political system be strengthened to serve us better?” Ready to make some noise, Ira shares her heart-felt motivation for representing her community in the Citizens’ Parliament. Ira said: “so many people here are suffering when they don’t need to. Money should be ploughed into areas of severe, chronic need. “Facilities are in such poor condition, the government has the money to improve our situation but it just doesn’t have its priorities in order.

Hotline for home care A new telephone hotline has boosted health services for seniors, the disabled and their carers in the local area. Access2HomeCare,a joint initiative of State and Federal governments, connects people to the community and home care they need. Carers, families and the frail elderly can use the service for the cost of a local call. It is available for residents in the Lower North, and neighbouring areas. Contact the Access2HomeCare hotline on 1300 130 551 from 9am–5pm,weekdays.

“Hospitals are shutting down because of a lack of doctors, health care here is in a shambles, and education is difficult for regional rural students to access – and public transport in this area is on its last legs, people are actually fighting each other to get a seat on the train. “I look forward to bringing up these issues in the regional meeting.” Luca Belgiorno-Nettis, founder of newDemocracy said regional meetings were a great way to get participants really thinking about the strengths and weaknesses of our current political system. “The Citizens’ Parliament will take this step further by engaging these ordinary Australians in a robust discussion to have a say in the process of political reform,” he said. The Citizens’ Parliament will ask participants to consider what they perceive are the limitations of our current system and ask them to put forth options for reform that they believe will improve citizen engagement. “I hope the Citizens’ Parliament pressures the government to become fairer,” Ira said. The Citizens’Parliament is funded by an Australian Research Council Linkage Grant in conjunction with the newDemocracy Foundation.

HEALTH Services in Clare have been boosted, with an extra six major orthopaedic procedures to be conducted. In announcing the extra procedures State Health Minister, John Hill, said the procedures, costed at $67,000, were supported by the Commonwealth’s elective surgery campaign. Mr Hill said the State government’s budget for country health had jumped by 55 per cent over the past six years, with spending growing to $591 million in 2007-08. “We are spending more than ever on delivering the best services to country South Australia. This government is not cutting spending on country health – we are increasing spending every year,” he said. However, Shadow Minister for Health Vickie Chapman said the

MP appeals for HAC delegate Member for Goyder, Steven Griffiths MP is seeking expressions of interest from residents interested in taking on the role of the Member of Parliament’s appointed representative of the Balaklava Riverton Health Advisory Council (BRHAC).

By Karen Petney Rann government was contributing less money to country health this year than they did last year. “The total budget for Country Health SA might be increasing but that money is being generated by the hospitals and through other revenue sources. The Rann Government’s contribution has actually decreased,” she said. Ms Chapman also said the 55 per cent increase in country health funding had coincided with a 56 per cent increase in Government revenue during the same period. “It’s easy to spend more money when you collect more,” Ms Chapman said. The government’s health commitment to the Clare area has included: • An expansion in early 2008

of medical imaging service to include an updated Ultrasound unit, new x-ray machine and ultrasound services increasing from one to four days per week. • A further 15 major orthopaedic elective surgical cases to be undertaken in the next six months at a cost of $173,000. • Additional operating theatre equipment to the value of $45,000 to be purchased in 2009. • Expansion of Transition Care packages in Snowtown and Clare with 21 additional packages for the Clare Snowtown area in 2008 at a value of $51,000 to allow patients to be treated closer to home. • Eleven Country Home Link packages since July 2008 at a value of $4,000. • Expansions of the Regional Health services program in 2008 for Youth/Men’s/Community development.

Two years later, Hartley has harvested one pomegranate crop, and expects to harvest the second from March through to early May. “It’s certainly creating plenty of interest, being an alternative crop which is able to utilise lesser quality water and supply very early returns,” Hartley said.

“They do start producing quite quickly, and we have very good varieties available.” Lewis Enterprises now has 2000 pomegranates at Virginia, and also supplies other growers across Australia. “We’re supplying the fruit as fresh fruit, and also to the juice market here in Australia,” Hartley said. He will soon begin trialling export of the fruit. “We are six months out of sync with the northern hemisphere, which is a large, traditional market for pomegranates,” Hartley said. “So there’s tremendous opportunity in Australia to take advantage of that. “Pomegranates can be sent by sea and stored for four to five months.”

The ability to ship the fruit by sea reduces freight costs significantly. Hartley said there had been interest shown by several growers around the country keen to help develop the emerging industry. When he first planted his pomegranate grove, Hartley said they were well suited to the local climate. “They love hot, dry summers and cool winters, and can be grown in quite saline water,” he said. “A lot of areas on the northern Adelaide Plains and towards Lower Light, the Barossa, and Wakefield have quite a lot of underground saline water, which is unsuitable for a lot of other uses, but pomegranates are able to handle that quite happily.”

LETTERS to the Editor

Appreciating a valuable asset What a wonderful facility we have in our district. I speak of Balaklava Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital, where I had the necessity to spend a few days recently. The staff was wonderfully thoughtful and caring, and the meals varied and excellent. So many of us don’t realise what a valuable asset we have until the need to use it comes up. May the hospital remain a viable, successful part of our district for the foreseeable future, well supported financially by the local community. Joan Farley, Balaklava

Regional infrastructure

The prosperity of regional South Australia is fundamental to the success of our state’s economy. That is why in 1999 the then Liberal Government established the Regional Development Infrastructure Fund (RDIF). It was designed to recognise the importance of regional infrastructure in driving economic growth, employment opportunities and to give country South Australians a greater voice. Despite the success of the RDIF and despite the strong connection between infrastructure investment and regional

economic growth, the Rann Government decreased funding for RDIF to $3 million per annum – $1.5 million lower than 1999. The RDIF was an outcome of the 1999 Regional Development Task Force Report and was initially funded to the tune of $4.5 million per annum for the first three years. This funding was on top of normal budgeted regional infrastructure investments. The RDIF has been instrumental in providing investment in essential power, water, electricity and telecommunications infrastructure. Since 1999, $24.7 million has been allocated to regional infrastructure projects, worth a total of $1.1 billion. It has directly supported the creation of 4900 jobs. The State Liberals know the importance of regional infrastructure because of the benefit to regional communities and also the positive effect it has on the State’s economy. A Martin Hamilton-Smith Liberal government will boost investment for RDIF to $7 million per annum – an increase of $4 million. We need to support our regional communities and invest in the future of our State. Martin Hamilton-Smith, Leader of the Opposition

Spending questioned

The next State election is more than a year away but sadly, the old Liberal trick of distorting the facts has started already. Martin Hamilton-Smith’s recent comments are a classic example. True, the Liberals commenced the Regional Development Infrastructure Fund in 1999 and it was a good initiative. True, they allocated $4.5 million in 1999/00, $5.5 million in 2000/01, and $5.5 million in 2001/02, but what did they actually spend - $2.99 million year one, $2.49 million in year two and $1.55 million in year three! In other words, the Liberals announced a total of $15 million to the fund in the last three years they were in government, and spent just $7 million of it–less than half. They were big on announcements, but not on getting results. It was all about spin. Sadly, we must all prepare ourselves for the deluge of misinformation that will emanate from the Liberals’ desperate spin. We need to judge them by what they did – not what they said they would do. Rory McEwen, Minister for Regional Development.

Help save our precious Murray Web Browsing

www.murrayusers.sa.gov.au gives us some pointers on how we can help when it comes to saving water. Washing machines use between 40 and 200 litres of water for each load. If you have adjustable load settings, use the right load setting for each load; only wash clothes when you have a full load; when buying a washing machine it helps to look for one with a high water efficiency rating (front loaders are best). Dishwashers use approximately 20 to 35 litres of water per load. A sink holds approximately 18 litres of water. Only use the dishwasher when you have a full load; rinse in half a sink of water instead of under a running tap. A tap left running for one minute uses approximately 15 litres of water. Keep drinking water cool in the fridge instead of running the tap until it is cool enough to drink; install a water aerator. A continuously running toilet wastes about 16,000 litres of water per year (and money!) A dual flush toilet can save between 22,000 and 35,000 litres of water per year – only use the full flush to dispose of solids. Take shorter showers. By reducing your shower from eight minutes to five minutes and installing a water efficient ‘AAA’ shower head, you can save about 168,000 litres of water per year.

RBE Internet Services

Sponsored by P.O. Box 45, Balaklava 5461 admin@rbe.net.au Phone 8862 2134 When brushing your teeth, use a small basin or cup of water instead of a running tap when cleaning your teeth or razors; be sure to fix drips. The types of plants in your garden, how it is designed and maintained can have dramatic impacts on the amount of water used. Hosing a driveway uses about 20 litres of water a minute! Use a broom to clean paths and driveways; plant natives instead of exotics; use mulch; collect rain water for use on the garden. Washing a car with a running hose uses 100 - 300 litres of water. Use a bucket to wash the car; wash the car on a lawn; use a commercial car wash that recycles the water.

Pressure on council over another boat ramp delay By Lauren Parker

WILDLIFE protector Norm Parish hand feeds his wedge-tailed eagle.

Norm’s emu tragedy After caring for wildlife and birds over five decades, Balaklava identity Norm Parish was heartbroken when two of his emus allegedly were mauled to death by a dog recently. Norm had reared four generations of the emu family over 40 years, feeding them by hand. But on Tuesday, January 6, a dog, believed to be a medium-sized crossbreed, savaged two emus, killing the pets that were not only loved by Norm, but also hundreds of school children who have

visited over the years. One emu, in a separate yard, was unharmed. “I used to feed these birds out of my hand,” Norm said. “They were pets to me.” The ex-serviceman has a strong attachment to his menagerie of wildlife at his Balaklava sanctuary, which has enthralled almost every local student over the past 50 years. The self-funded operation has cost Norm an estimated $60,000 over the past 10 years, all from his veterans pension. Yet it is simply

something Norm loves to do, and loves to share with the local community and school students. “It’s all been for the children,” Norm said. The collection of birds, native animals, and birds of prey has fascinated thousands of visitors, and Norm’s way with animals is such that he is even able to hand-feed his wedge tailed eagle, a feat many find hard to believe. “I call it and tell it to hop up then I feed it meat with my fingers,” Norm said. Wakefield Regional Coun-

cil dog inspector Gary Tezacker was called to Norm’s property, along with police and a veterinarian. Gary said when he arrived at Norm’s sanctuary the offending dog had already been destroyed by its owners. It had been involved in an attack before when the owners lived in a different township. Balaklava veterinarian, Brenton Clark, who has known Norm since Brenton was young, was called to the scene of the attack, but the emus were long dead.

extended by one year, Mr Tillack said if the project was approved by council, work could begin immediately on the hard stand car park, which would meet the DAFF funding criteria. Mr Tillack said he wasn’t sure what the cost of the project to council would be, but it could possibly be covered under the current budget as another project had to be deferred. “This council could end up with an asset worth half a million dollars for somewhere between $25,000 and $40,000,” Mr Tillack said. Councillor Steve Kennedy moved a motion to authorise council staff to submit funding applications to support the project, which was seconded by councillor Steve Jones. However, councillor Rudi Fabrici argued against the motion. “I think it’s premature council consider this recommendation unless we have the figures,” he said. Councillor Kennedy spoke in support of the boat ramp before Cr Fabrici moved the motion lay on the table, seconded by councillor Tom Summerton. Councillors Duncan Kennington, Anne Picard, Rudi Fabrici, Joe Daniele, and Tom Summerton agreed, while councillors Steve Kennedy, Steve Jones, Yvonne Howard and mayor Tony Flaherty disagreed. Addressing the clearly disgruntled gallery members, Mayor Flaherty said the decision would lay on the table until the next meeting which unfortunately may jeopardise funding. However, he said if council staff could work on the quote, a special meeting may be called to consider the project before the February 9 deadline, as the next meeting is not scheduled until February 16. Councillor Anne Picard then moved the existing boat ramp be closed because of the alleged safety issues, seconded by councillor Duncan Kennington. However, staff advised against this until the safety report was received. “We don’t listen to the public when they want something, yet we listen to them when they say something might be dangerous,” councillor Yvonne Howard said. “If we want to listen to the public saying something is dangerous, why aren’t we listening to them to support a boat ramp?” she said. Her comments were met with applause from the gallery, and not one councillor supported the motion.

The Middle Beach boat ramp proposal has hit yet another snag, with further delays jeopardising funding. The late receival of quotes meant District Council of Mallala could not confirm the cost to council of the project, and a decision was deferred until the next meeting. However, with time fast running out for the spending of a $100,000 Department of Fisheries and Forestries (DAFF) grant, the $500,000 project may lose its funding. In the first stage of the project, the Foreshore Advisory Committee intends to build a new, safer boat ramp and create a hardstand parking area. A second stage would include dredging the channel to provide near 24 hour access, and a third stage would include improved amenities. In an impassioned plea to District Council of Mallala, a crowd of 14 gathered in the gallery to show their support for the project. Foreshore Advisory Committee chair, Barb Reid, reminded councillors the project had been worked on by the community for the past 13 years. “We’ve got $412,500 funding already,” she said. “The quote I got was $396,000 just for the boat ramp itself, and that doesn’t include council’s cost to build the hard stand.” Barb said the committee had enormous support from the boating community, and it seemed the ramp was likely to be even more utilised than first predicted, allowing for more funds to be recovered through a ticketing system. John Drexel, a delegate of the South Australian Recreational Boating Council, said after 13 years on the project, it was time to make a decision or simply walk away. He said he knew of two boats overturned because of the unsafe nature of the existing boat ramp, and one broken limb. Two Wells identity Malcolm Frost also voiced his support. “When you have all this money coming in from the outside that’s not costing our community, it’s a no brainer,” he said. Council’s infrastructure and engineering services manager, John Tillack, said the project could be very beneficial to the council if the economic quotes stacked up. He said a safety inspection of the existing ramp had been completed, but the results were yet to be received. Although council has applied for an extension to the DAFF funding, already

Blyth drums up another community winner

he Blyth community gathered in Main street for the annual Christmas street carnival on Friday, December 19, in ideal conditions. The community’s sporting clubs manned the stalls and were ready to serve the delicious steak and onion sandwiches or a snag or two, complemented with stunning quandong desserts. The children were in readiness for the fancy dress and decorated bike competitions. With bright colourful outfits to choose from the judges finally settled on jackaroo William Bernhardt complete with stock whip and runner-up went to Mother Christmas, Carmel Pyrke. Bikes and scooters were appropriately decorated in the Christmas theme and Cody Jamieson and Cartia Jaeschke took home the prizes donated by Clare Financial Services. All contestants were thrilled to receive a gift donated by Statewide Group Training. Well known Blyth cook, George O’Callaghan, took on the enviable task of the selecting the best children’s muffin cook with Neve and Isabel Pratt winning cookware donated by Rippa Dippa, with Tara Walkley as runner-up.

By Janet Zweck The night brought record entries to the water balloon throwing championships sponsored by Mid North Sandblasting. Jace Andriske and Tom Norton won the primary school section, Cale Sparks and Tom Stewarts won the high school section and Mick Pawley and Mick Agnew won the open section from some hefty competition. This year the Blyth locals were treated to the sounds of Africa with the Tumbadrum African drumming group from Clare entertaining the crowd during the night. Locals in the crowd were given the opportunity to beat with the best and all appreciated the group spending time down on the plains. Donations from the night went to a child the group is sponsoring from Zimbabwe. The children were not disappointed when Father Christmas arrived on the back of a Diamond T Truck chauffeured by Merv Smitham and accompanied by elves Maddie Zweck and

Jace Andriske. A long line soon formed with the children eager to tell Father Christmas what they would like from him on Christmas day as well as receiving a treat donated by Statewide Group Training. Quandong season in 2008 was one of the best for a number of years and the record entries of 10 desserts was outstanding. Desserts included pies, cheesecakes, crumbles and meringue and judges Terry and Denise Boylan timely viewed the desserts for presentation followed by the taste test. After enjoying the delicate taste of quandongs, Ruth Loader was finally awarded the quandong dessert championship donated by Medika Gallery for her quandong meringue pie. The crowd instantly headed to the dessert stand to try the unique tastes of quandong. The giant Christmas stocking was won by Cheryl Wandel. Ian and Dianne Haysman were announced winners for Christmas light display in the front and on their home and were ecstatic to receive $100 cash from Northern Windscreens. The Children’s Choice was a joint affair with Richard

and Julia Agnew and Tamara Pyrke winning their prizes donated by Millingtons, Greenleaf Ag and Eime Silage. Special mention went to Jeff and Mel Biggs for a display in the Main street. They received a goody basket donated by Vision Builders. The encouragement prize donated by Mitre 10 Clare, went to Josh and Serene King. In the “home brew” beer competition, with a prize donated and judged by Trevor Eime, MC Peter Paterson was brought in to help with the judging as Trevor found it difficult to choose between a couple of brews. After a lengthy drinking session by the judges, Craig Walkley was announced the winner along with Adrian Clark’s stout . During the night the crowd enjoyed the jumping castle, face painting spinning wheel, tasting delights from the trading table and eating that sticky fairy floss. Thanks were extended to all who donate their time and goods to make it a great community and financial success. Money from the night will be divided amongst the clubs and organisations who supplied volunteers to work during the night.

Golf BALAKLAVA

Results from Saturday January 17. Last Saturday’s Stroke competition was played on a beautifully prepared course (and dominated) by Bill Parkin, whose 71/70 score placed him first among the A Grade field, followed by Bill Lokan (86/70) and the old ‘Velvet Rottweiler’ himself, big, beaming Barry Michael who belted 90/70. W. Nagle (88/73) led the stragglers back to the yards, followed in turn by J. Michael (89/74), R. Butterworth (87/75), M. Hameister (88/76), M. Loy (98/76), R. Hart (87/76), L. Durdin (90/79), G. Spence (96/80), P. Lamont (90/81). W. Berry (101/85) and R. Hahn (101/88). It was a memorable day out for young aspirant, Dennis Goudie, who hit a purple patch and just 95 off the stick, to score a B Grade winning 73 nett. He was chased home by the sartorial Rob Veitch (97/75) and the elegant Greg Anderson (100/79). Even the tail wagged quite happily, comprising G. Toms (100/82), D. Trickett (102/83), A. Henstridge (113/84), D. Rodgers (108/86) and one Digby Addison (105/87). We all knew that the Summer Cup would be a feature on the day but no-one, absolutely no-one could have foreseen the outcome of the Parkin/Henstridge stoush. You could have heard a pin drop (in Norway) when it was confirmed that somehow, miraculously and totally against all odds, Parkin prevailed to win 3-2! Barry Michael, who really is about as scary as a Hyundai Excel with a boot spoiler, successfully stared down a gallant Dave Rodgers to win 7-5. Bill Lokan obviously listened to another Bill earlier in the week and used his new, improved techniques to vanquish a calm, unruffled Greg Anderson 4-2, while Ron Butterworth managed to account for Gerry Toms 4+3. Bill Parkin cleaned up the Birdie balls with his lone triumph on the third, also claiming Nearest The Pin. The other NTP’s went to Mark Loy (8th), Leigh Durdin (13th) and Dave Rodgers (15th). Results from Saturday January 10. A par competition brought more than 20 wannabees out to the course, most sporting significant christmas puds but able to swing a club nonetheless. Rampaging Ron Butterworth swept back into contention as the world’s greatest A-Grade golfer by dint of his +2 result, followed hot foot by Peter Lamont (+1) and Mark Loy (+1). Trailing these stars were W. Lokan (-1), W. Nagle (-1), G. McKenzie (-2), M. Hameister (-3), C. Williams (-4), B. Berry (-6), J. Michael (-6), R. Hart (-6) and M. Day (-7). From the playing proletariat (B Grade) field, it took a visitor from Two Wells, the mighty Rabbit (Mr. Christou to you) to show us locals how, storming back to the 19th. with an impeccable score of +3. Dean Trickett (+1) came second and a very determined Dave Rodgers (-1) third.

Results from January 7. Clare 36 d Blyth 30: E Semple 13, E Hooper 8, J Victor 7, G Todd 8, R Loader 9, I Fisher 11, C Bolvig 5, J Hilzinger 5. Snowtown 39 d Balaklava 17: G Schupelius 13, R Freebairn 13, P Schupelius 7, J Hoskin 6, L Sutton 3, C Reimers 1, N Williams 7, D Williams 6. Clare and Blyth battled it out, with the first colours Euan and Ellie only coming out the winners by one hoop. Nice to see Jean back having a game, filling in for Rae who, with Georgie, held Chris and Jenny down by five hoops. At Balaklava, Snowtown walked all over the Balaklava girls, Lynne and Chris just couldn’t get going. Every time they neared their hoop, Gilbert came and took them away whether it was his play or not. Very disappointing for the girls who tried so hard just to get on the score card. Fourth round premiership points Snowtown 55 points, 381 hoops; Clare 45, 331; Balaklava 30, 274; Blyth 15, 316. Balaklava 28 drew with Clare 28: N Williams 9, C Reimers 3, L Sutton 7, D Williams 9, E Semple 7, E Hooper 8, R Gierke 6, G Todd. The weather was kind after the very hot day on Tuesday, and the game at Balaklava was a very enjoyable battle. Chris found it hard to get into the game but improved as the play went on. Nancy and Euan had a cat and mouse game going from one side of the court to the other until after the break, then the ladies seemed to take over the gent. Lynne and Dulcie played well more so after the break, holding Rae and Georgie who went ahead in leaps and bounds to begin with. Dulcie steadied and just went ahead making nine. At Blyth, Iris and Ruth battled against Gilbert and Rhonda – it is difficult playing against a state player! Jenny and Graham were only one down from Pam and Joylene, so they had a much more enjoyable game.

Mallala vs Dublin

ABOVE: Mallala’s Brian Montgomery makes a run for his side. LEFT: Jason Earl, Long Plains chases the ball to the boundary. These worthy artisans were joined by G. Toms (-1), A. Henstridge )-3), L. Masson (-4), visitor J. Weir (-8), G. Sonntag (-8), B. Michael (-8), G. Anderson (-9) and P. Mellow (-11). Gerry Toms scored the only Birdie, on the 3rd., while Nearest The Pins were also pretty scarce, achieved by Greg Anderson (3rd), Mark Loy (15th) and that wascally Wabbit (13th). Now, how many of you were aware of the hot, throbbing undercurrent presently affecting the Club? You must notice these things, so to help out, we confirm that the Summer Cup is being played out with monstrous ferocity. This week, Dave Rodgers buried Bill Berry ( 1 up), Dean Trickett stuck a loser’s label on Wayne Nagle (2 up) and Bill Parkin ruined Michael’s Day (4 up).

bowls

Upsets keep the pressure on top sides Bowls resumed on January 10 with interesting results continuing to come to the fore in both Divisions. In Division One, Wasleys came close to inflicting an upset win over Balaklava just failing by one shot. Elsewhere, Hamley Bridge, Riverton and Owen all had sound wins over their respective opponents. Last weekend’s round of Division One matches produced more than its fair share of upsets. Owen had a sound win over the more fancied Hamley Bridge while Tarlee upset Wasleys by five shots. Leaders Riverton also had a tight tussle against Mallala securing the win by only three shots. Balaklava had a comfortable victory over fourth placed Port Wakefield in the remaining match. Division One standings show Riverton still leading with Balaklava replacing Hamley Bridge in second and Owen now in fourth spot ahead of Port Wakefield. The remaining positions have remained unchanged.

This week’s round

Three of this weekend’s Division One matches

By John Glistak, Secretary WMBA will be eagerly watched as the battle for fourth spot intensifies. Riverton hosts Owen in a clash where consistent form will favour the home side. A win for Owen, though, will help their chances of holding onto fourth spot. Port Wakefield travel to Wasleys in another key match likely to go down to the last few ends. Wasleys had a narrow loss last time, but this match is on its home green. Balaklava and Mallala play in the other key contest with Mallala keen to return to winning ways again. On this occasion, however, Balaklava should prove too strong for their opponents. Hamley Bridge should return to the winning circle after their unexpected loss last weekend, much to Tarlee’s disappointment. Division One – 10 January 2009: Balaklava 67(10) (A. Chivell 31, P.

TERRY Cluse, Port Wakefield lines up during the game at home on Saturday.

Division Two to split into Red and White The curse of leading Division Two was still alive in the round played on January 10. Leader Mallala White had their colours lowered by Balaklava Red going down all rinks. Hamley White won the local derby against Hamley Red despite having only one rink up. Interest in the elusive eighth spot continued following Port Wakefield Gold’s narrow win over Owen by six shots putting Port Wakefield Gold into that desired spot ahead of Owen. Mallala Black, Balaklava White, Port Wakefield Blue and Balaklava Blue all won their respective matches to conclude the round. Last weekend’s round concluded the round robin phase of the Division Two competition and what an intriguing round it was. A win for Port Wakefield Gold was all that was needed for that side to take part in the Red Section of the competition. However, their home form continued to desert them as they lost to Mallala Black by 16 shots. Elsewhere, Owen, who started the day one point behind Port Wakefield Gold, had an all rinks up win over the more fancied Balaklava White combination. These results placed Owen in the eight and consigned Port Wakefield Gold to the White Section of the competition. Comfortable victories were recorded in all of the remaining matches of the round. Division Two – 10 January 2009: Mallala Black 97(11)

This weekend’s round of matches in Division Two Red are likely to provide an upset or two with Balaklava Blue being the most consistent side having won its last six matches – a feat not achieved by other leading contenders. A finals type atmosphere and competitiveness will prevail in each of the Red Section matches as all sides strive to secure a top four berth in two months time. Division Two Red – January 24 : Hamley White vs Owen, Balaklava Blue vs Mallala White, Mallala Black vs Balaklava White, Balaklava Red vs Hamley Red The key match in Division Two White features the local derby between Riverton White and Riverton Black. A close result is expected in this tussle. Elsewhere, wins are likely for the two Port Wakefield sides over their respective opponents. Division Two White – January 24 : Tarlee vs Port Wakefield Blue, Port Wakefield Gold vs Wasleys, Riverton White vs Riverton Black.
