Our ‘better plan’

Zoning changes around Balaklava By Lauren Parker

Youngsters get a lesson in keeping fit THIS group of young Balaklava students and their mums will join at least 10,000 primary school students in rural and regional South Australia on Friday, walking their way to better physical and mental health and cleaner air. Students from scores of country schools are taking part in the big event,

which asks parents and carers to walk safely to school with their children, either all or part of the way. The aim is to encourage all Australian children to exercise regularly, including at least 30 minutes of walking in their daily routine. The event also aims to reduce hazardous traffic congestion and

vehicle pollution around schools. All schools around the nation will receive a Walk Safely to School Day kit including stickers, posters and a how-to-participate guide. Parents are encouraged to host a healthy breakfast at their primary school on the day. For more information visit www.walk.com.au

Balaklava’s light industrial zone has been extended south of Balaklava and two new recreation zones introduced, along with the expansion of Balaklava’s rural living zone. The changes came as Wakefield Regional Council’s Better Development Plan received ministerial approval. WRC environmental services manager, Elca McCarthy, said all councils were required to convert to the Better Development Plan format to create consistency between councils. This has meant name changes to some zones, such as Primary Production (previously Primary Industry). However, councils were able to add their own desired character statements and could suggest their own land uses for zones to be considered, enabling them to personalise the plan to suit the council area. In addition, a more comprehensive mapping system has been introduced, which includes bushfire protection zone mapping, transport overlay maps, location maps, and heritage overlay maps. Previously, only one zone map was used. While containing the same

principles, under the Better Development Plan, the council-wide plan has expanded from 71 pages to 168 without maps, and from 13 maps to more than 100. Other changes under the new plan include the introduction of two recreation zones at Balaklava Racing Club and Balaklava Golf Club. Balaklava’s rural living zone has also been extended south of what was previously the horse industry rural living zone. The light industry zone has been extended south of Balaklava. Ms McCarthy said this didn’t automatically allow light industry developments to be approved. “The developments will be assessed on merit and if required, will be processed with public notification and referral to other agencies,” she said. This could include referral to the Environment Protection Authority. The approval of the Better Development Plan allows council to further progress its Local Heritage Development Plan Amendment (DPA) and Rural Living DPA. These were put on hold until the Better Development Plan was approved.

When will we get a fair go on water supply?

IRST tentative steps to secure water supplies for Yorke Peninsula communities are now being taken. Members of the SA Water Yorke Peninsula Water Infrastructure Group met on Thursday, April 30, to discuss community feedback on SA Water’s plan to meet demand for water on Yorke Peninsula over the next 30 years. On Yorke Peninsula. But not the Adelaide Plains. To its credit, SA Water is formulating a long term plan for the peninsula’s three supply systems – Upper Paskeville, Warooka and Lower Paskeville. Within this plan, details of which are available via SA Water’s website, is the acknowledgement that “water infrastructure options will be identified and a preferred option/s selected to augment water supply. On Yorke Peninsula. But no men-

MY VIEW

EDITOR Editor@plainsproducer.com.au tion of the Adelaide Plains. I’m wondering just what this district needs to do to get on SA Water’s radar. Is there any likelihood of a program similar to the Peninsula? Last year, on December 10, this newspaper reported the State government had no plans in the future to initiate another water pipeline to service the Adelaide Plains. This position in the current cli-

mate is understandable – but the fact remains we will be in dire straits regarding water supplies unless similar action is taken to that being formulated for Yorke Peninsula. And now we have 2,500 homes planned for Two Wells, to add to the large scale developments we are all familiar with at Buckland Park, Port Wakefield and Balaklava Golf Club. Not to mention the immediate present growth in towns like Two Wells and Balaklava and the poultry and pig industries, which will just keep on growing. I have been beating the drum on this topic for months and I won’t give up until we at least get some fruitful discussion started with the necessary Ministers and their departments. These talks must start here on the Adelaide Plains this year. It is not as if SA Water is not aware of our needs. A representative of SA Water attended a meeting in Balaklava

recently to discuss water pipeline options which are indirectly connected to the proposed development at Balaklava Golf Club. Nothing wrong with that. Just doing their job. Discussion centred not just on possible water requirements for that proposal – but on addressing water supplies for the Balaklava township itself; something which has been acknowledged but until recently remained just an occasional blip on the SA Water radar. SA Water obviously viewed the golf club project as an opportunity to upgrade its water supply infrastructure in parts of this region. So if nothing else, the planned housing development at the golf club has at least instigated some action from the powers that be. But what will occur next? Will any real, tangible work be undertaken at least in Balaklava – and when? I would be astounded if anyone

from State government or SA Water contacted me over the contents of this column and made an effort to answer those questions. o NOW for some good news. Well done to Kevin Julyan and his mates at Wakefield Regional Council’s works depot. Those of us who trudge the popular Lions walking trail around Balaklava’s Moody Estate and beyond had noticed it was becoming slightly hazardous, with loose stones and debris. Lions club members, president Kossie Chegwyn and vice president Mike Wood mentioned this fact to Kevin – and presto, the trail was scraped, rolled and brushed clean, making it much safer. Thanks team, we do appreciate your efforts. ... And stay tuned for more news on developments with the walking trail and other Balaklava town projects.

Wary of regional revamp MPs plan to help students

A policy paper aimed at assisting rural students make the transition to tertiary education has been released by Federal Member for Grey, Rowan Ramsey. Mr Ramsey is seeking public support for the paper which proposes solutions to address the unfair difficulties regional and rural students face in accessing a tertiary education, many in the city take for granted. According to Mr Ramsey, country residents will recognise the proposals as a “fair and genuine attempt to improve what has long been one of the key determining factors for country students achieving a much lower rate of tertiary entry and completion than the community average.” Mr Ramsey has circulated the paper to his parliamentary colleagues and has asked the shadow Minister for Eduction to adopt the policy in the lead up to the next Federal election. A copy of the paper is available at www.rowanramsey.com.au

Councils go with Dev Board change – but fear extra cost

Back from left: Councillor Greg Stevens, chairman of the Grants Commission Malcolm Germein, front: executive officer Peter Ilee, Commissioner Mary Patetsos and Mayor James Maitland.

Grants team in Wakefield visit The South Australian Local Government Grants Commission visited Wakefield Regional Council last week. The Grants Commission assesses council’s capacity to raise revenue by using valuations. It then compares each council’s valuation per capacity

against the state average in the categories of residential, commercial, industrial, rural and other. After several other assessments and calculations, the Grants Commission makes recommendations to the Minister for State/Local Government

Relations on the distribution of untied Commonwealth financial assistance grants to local government authorities within SA. The Commission makes regular visits to councils to provide information and allow for discussion about the grant allocation process.

Concerns have been raised about the boundaries of the new Regional Development Australia bodies and the level and nature of funding and service delivery. Council chief executive officers and the Central Local Government Region Executive Committee met with representatives of the Regional Development Boards and Area Consultative Committees last month to consider the proposed amalgamation of the organisations into new ‘Regional Development Australia’ bodies. The workshop was held to collate feedback to the SA Local Government Association (LGA) who is negotiating a triparty agreement for the establishment of the eight new structures in SA with State and Federal governments. Central Local Government Region – consisting of various neighbouring councils in this area – said councils generally supported the move to a single regional development organisation as a positive opportunity to reduce ef-

fort and resources being duplicated by separate State and Federal government arrangements. However, councils were concerned about the proposed re-design of board boundaries, which some consider too large to be effective in delivering tailored, local support to businesses and the community. Some also fear that with an amalgamation, the level of support going into the same geographical area could be reduced through a statewide redistribution of government funding, leaving councils with an increased funding burden. The Central Local Government Region suggested the new boards be established as independent, incorporated bodies rather than as advisory committees to the government. Former Premier and minister for regional development Rob Kerin will lead a transition team to support the implementation of the new arrangements, which the Federal government aims to have in place by the end of the current financial year.

Two Wells housing plan popular ‘Positive for the town’ says our poll result

The proposed 2500 home development at Two Wells has generated a positive response from the community. Hickinbotham last week publicly announced its intentions to develop a large residential development of 2500 homes on a triangular parcel of land between Mallala road, Port Wakefield road and Temby road. The Plains Producer web poll showed readers generally believed the development would be positive for the town. More than 40 per cent believed the proposal would benefit the town, while another 30 per cent said it would benefit the town if it was done carefully with thought for the township as it is now. Less than 30 per cent said it would not benefit Two Wells. Former Mallala council chair and well known Two Wells iden-

tity Margaret Gameau was very pleased with the development proposal. “I’m really happy about it,” she said. “The area they’re considering putting it is good because it’s within walking distance from the shops.” Mrs Gameau said this would be an advantageous, as previous developments in Two Wells had been kilometres from the town centre, where footpaths were poorer, and a railway line and traffic on the Gawler road raised safety issues. Judy Frost was pleased Hickinbotham had been upfront about its proposal well before development plans will be lodged with council. “It’s good that it’s all out in the open,” she said. “It’s quite exciting to think about it happening.

“But it’s going to change the whole feel of the place.” Mrs Frost said some would not like to see the dynamics of their town change, but it was “inevitable”. She said the parks and small shop integrated into the development sounded promising, with developers still proposing the residents of the development use the main street of Two Wells for its main shopping needs. “It’s all positive,” Mrs Frost said. Two Wells business owner Tony Lange sees the development as bringing further opportunities for the existing community. He hopes the developers will help fund community projects, such as a much needed upgrade to the town’s sporting facilities. And if the development goes ahead, Mr Lange predicts a new sporting club may even be

needed, with Two Wells Football Club currently having nearly 40 under 14 footballers. He believes it’s important the community and council aren’t caught short if the development progresses. “We’re under-done sporting wise and certainly when it comes to infrastructure,” Mr Lange said. He believes it’s also important the development integrates well with the community. “We don’t need it to be a suburb,” Mr Lange said. “We really just need to be one community.” Hickinbotham is in the preliminary stages of planning, and is working with District Council of Mallala through the Development Plan Amendment process. A development application will be lodged with council after the DPA process is complete.

TWO Wells businessman Tony Lange believes the project will bring further opportunities for the community.

Balaklava Lions will host the fundraising morning tea on Friday, and potential helpers and donors of food are still needed, and are asked to contact Kossie Chegwyn on 8862 2067. A morning tea will also be held in Owen and Mallala. Kossie, who has been busily organising morning teas since 2000, said the help of community members was a vital part of the event’s success. “We can’t do it without the community,” she said. Balaklava has been known for its generosity, coming third in the state last year for its Biggest Morning Tea fundraising effort, and one year even managed to top all the Biggest

Morning Teas in the state. The Biggest Morning Tea will take place in the Balaklava Town Hall supper room, from 8.30am to 11.30am. Order forms will soon be distributed to businesses so those at work don’t miss out on sharing a cuppa and a cake for a good cause.

Thieves strike towns, cars Balaklava • Police have warned locals not to leave valuables unattended after a spate of thefts within the town. In the last fortnight, about a dozen wallets have been stolen from cars, homes, licensed premises, and even sporting grounds. “Lock your cars and houses

and do not leave valuables next to sporting fields or anywhere they may have thought in the past was safe,” said Balaklava officer-in-charge, brevet sergeant Steve Harwood. • Electrical equipment has been stolen from farming equipment over the weekend. The thefts occurred at Hoy-

leton and Watchman on Friday night, and included CB radios, DVD players and other electrical goods. Police said a vehicle was seen driving towards Auburn and Saddleworth with no lights on in the early hours of Saturday morning. Anyone with information should call police on 8862 1144.

Hamley Bridge • Railway iron used as fencing struts have been stolen from a property at Hamley Bridge over the past two weeks. Police said six pieces of railway iron, together weighing about a tonne, had been stolen. Similar thefts have occurred at Freeling.

There’s no Excuse for Abuse Marie, 75, contacted ARAS because her adult daughter had a gambling addiction and bullied her into giving money which was never repaid.

Older people in our society may be experiencing abuse and not know where to turn. If that’s the case, they should contact Aged Right Advocacy Service (ARAS) for help. Abuse of older people can take many forms, however financial abuse is most common and is usually linked to intimidation. Older people are often hesitant to come forward with their experience of abuse. “I signed these documents when I was very ill in hospital. I thought that I could trust my own daughter,” is a common story heard by people at ARAS.

Another example of a typical ARAS customer is Fred, who was forcefully isolated from his friends. Experiences such as Marie’s and Fred’s have led to a radio announcement that aims to raise awareness about preventing abuse of older people. ARAS, funded through the State Government’s ‘Improving with Age – Our Ageing Plan for South Australia,’ will raise awareness about safeguarding the rights of older people through the radio announcement and a series of brochures. The brochures include a new Financial Safeguards 5 Brochure Kit

adopt a-pet

and a Pocket Guide that helps people identify what abuse is and how to address it. Other examples of abuse include using an older person’s bank card to access their funds, putting pressure on someone to change their Will or Enduring Power of Attorney and borrowing money that isn’t paid back. People experiencing abuse are encouraged to contact the ARAS Abuse Prevention Program for confidential information and advice to help them regain control of their life. ARAS also provides confidential information and support to people concerned about aged care services, such as nursing homes, hostels or community services. To speak to someone at ARAS or to order brochures, please call 8232 5377 or 1800 700 600. AGERAS000001

LawrieCo was also concerned about carbon emissions trading schemes. The company suggested agriculture should not become the “whipping post” for tax on inputs and schemes and plans should not adversely impact on agriculture without the proper opportunity of showing how agriculture could play an enormous role in positive and beneficial outcomes, particularly with nitrous oxide emissions and carbon dioxide sequestration through soils. The bus tour has now moved on to Victoria.

Highway drivers feel police heat Port Wakefield • Police from Balaklava and Port Wakefield combined forces in a traffic blitz with alarming results. Three drivers were detected drink driving on Friday night, including a man who recorded a blood alcohol reading of 0.248 after he was involved in a collision 15 kilometres south of Port Wakefield on Port Wakefield road. In addition to the three drink drivers charged, three vehicles were issued with defect notices, and 12 fines were issued for various offences. During the blitz, several drivers were also cautioned about inappropriate use of fog lights. Fog lights are now only allowed to be used during adverse weather conditions such as fog, heavy rain, smoke and dust. Drivers can be issued with an on-the-spot fine of $160 for using fog lights inappropriately. Two Wells

Intruder discovered

• A vigilant neighbour disturbed an intruder in a shed on Womma road, Virginia. The break-in occurred last Wednesday, but it appears a neighbour disturbed the offender shortly after they entered the shed. A small blue coloured hatch was seen parked at the front of the property, but the offender fled when neighbours became suspicious. Police have urged people, especially market gardeners, be vigilant at all hours and report anything suspicious, no matter how minor it appears. • An 18-year-old Two Wells man was charged with aggravated assault last Wednesday. Police allege the assault occurred in Two Wells last month, and the victim was fortunate his injuries were not more severe. Police will speak with another two suspects in the next week. • About $10,000 damage was caused to a shed on Old Port Wakefield road, Two Wells, on Tuesday last week. Police said it appeared the occupant had burnt some rubbish near the shed, and thinking the fire was out, left the property but returned home to find the shed on fire. • A 38-year-old Penfield man was reported for driving an unregistered motor vehicle on Penfield road, Virginia, on Saturday. • A Davoren Park woman was arrested for an outstanding warrant after attending Two Wells police station in relation to another enquiry. Police allege the 39-year-old was issued the warrant in 2007. She was bailed to appear in court. Clare • Police have reminded people who walk or jog to be safety conscious and wear light or reflective clothing when on the streets. With fewer daylight hours, police said it could be dangerous for both pedestrians and drivers particularly on dark, unlit streets.

Cameras check rego Road traffic cameras across South Australia will begin detecting unregistered and uninsured vehicles from Monday, June 1. Road Safety Minister, Michael O’Brien, said all cameras on the network, including speed and red light cameras, could now be used to detect illegal vehicles on SA roads after legislative amendments were passed by State parliament last year. And along with the increased detection capability comes tougher penalties for owners who fail to register and insure their vehicles. “The maximum fine

for failing to register a vehicle will jump from $750 to $2500, while failure to insure will attract a maximum fine of $5000, up from $2500,” Mr O’Brien said. He said the number of unregistered and uninsured vehicles on roads was believed to have risen by 30 per cent in recent years. “The vast majority of South Australian drivers are doing the right thing by paying their premiums,” Mr O’Brien said. “This measure is aimed at catching those who deliberately flout our road laws by driving unregistered and uninsured vehicles.”

Crash planned to be a shocker

MAY terrace, Balaklava, will become the scene of an horrific accident next Monday in an effort to educate students about the potential horrors of the road. Organised as part of a community studies program by Balaklava High School student Trent Chadbourne, the mock accident will take place at mid morning. Trent, shown above at the scene and with the car to be used in the accident, has been working with emergency serv-

ices to plan the event, and in addition to students, members of the public are welcome to attend. The “accident” on Monday will be followed by a driver education “defensive driving” course organised through Balaklava Lions and Wakefield Regional Road Safety group. Students who hold “P” or “L” plates can apply to attend the course, which will be held in Balaklava on Monday, June

1. The course will be offered FREE to students from regional schools. It normally would cost more than $250 to attend. Driver trainers from the Driver Training Institute will control theory and practical sessions. Drivers must supply their own vehicle. “L” platers must be accompanied by a licensed driver. Contact Lions club president Kossie Chegwyn on 8862 2067 or Allan Chivell, 8862 0600 for details.

Port Wakefield spreads town message A website providing information about Port Wakefield has been created in a joint project undertaken by Port Wakefield Community Management Committee (CMC) and the University of South Australia (Uni SA). Scott Kelly, chair of CMC said the website offered visitors, tourists and potential residents an opportunity to find out more about Port Wakefield before visiting. The site was created by Bachelor of Media

Studies student, Adam Wolf, who was required to develop two fully functional websites for real clients as part of his studies. Adam worked with the CMC to develop the Jack Miller

informative site in conjunction with SA Press Club. Adam received maximum marks for

both his projects and is hoping his degree will take him into the field of design, web

site creation or print material (magazines or advertisements). Scott said there were plans for further expansion of the site in the future. “We hope to add local news and events and to include links to sports clubs and other community groups, not just in Port Wakefield, but throughout the district,” he said. • The site can be found on www.portwakefield.sa.au

Schools await funding promise South Australian builders are ready to start work on the biggest school building program in the state’s history – but no local schools are among the first round funding recipients. State government last week announced $315 million for primary school projects through round one of the Primary Schools for the 21st Century Program. But of the 142 South Australian schools to receive funding, none were in the local area. However, schools are still planning improvements announced earlier this year. But they are unable to start work or even secure contractors until the funding is transferred, with schools still unsure when they will receive the money. Guidelines state the projects must begin in June. Balaklava Primary School is currently in discussion with the Education Works officials because of the proposal to merge with the children’s centre and high school to form a ‘super school’. “If our parent committee votes to form a birth to year 12 school we want to maximise the use of all the moneys we’ve been granted,” said principal Dale Gathercole. The parent committee meets tonight (Wednesday), but will not yet be making a decision.

SafeWork SA prosecutes after tragedy:

Mallala church will be in tip-top shape for centenary Mallala Uniting Church has been completed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; almost 100 years after it was built â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in preparation for it its centenary celebrations in June. Although the Church was built in 1909, finances at the time did not permit the completion of the spire, or the erection of more than one. Church secretary, Rosemary Jenkin, said in an early photo of the church there appears to be a weather vane, although the photo is unclear. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody knows when â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, whatever it was, disappeared,â&#x20AC;? she said. In planning the celebrations, John Lush, suggested the spire be completed and a plaque, noting the erection of a cross on the spire, be placed beside the foundation stone to commemorate the celebration. John Lush made the cross from square galvanised tubing and painted it with gold automotive paint and sealer, guaranteed to last for 15 years. With assistance from John Blackett, and the generous donation of a cherry picker from Mike Sharman, of Sharman Metaland at Long Plains, the cross was attached, and the spire completed. All are welcome to attend the centenary celebrations on June 28, for further information contact John Lush (left) and John Blackett place the new cross on Mallala Uniting church spire.

ANGLE VALE GETS $3 MILLION FEDERAL FUNDING:

Sport groups benefit More than $3 million will be provided towards the construction of a multi-purpose sports complex at Angle Vale. Federal Member for Wakefield, Nick Champion, and City of Playford mayor Martin Lindsell announced $3.3 million Federal government funding for the project last week. Mr Champion said the project would provide a community sports facility to cater for the existing and future needs of the Angle Vale region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new complex will be

built in several stages and will ultimately provide the region with a range of sporting facilities available for senior and junior use,â&#x20AC;? Mr Champion said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be a full-sized oval for football and cricket, cricket nets, lighting, a score board and soccer facilities.â&#x20AC;? Mr Champion said the project would provide multi-function clubrooms incorporating change rooms, a canteen, meeting space and public toilets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The complex will have a traditional country feel and include

carparking, an internal road, walk and bike pathways, playground and landscaping,â&#x20AC;? he said. Mayor Lindsell said the project was an excellent example of local and Federal government working in partnership to benefit local communities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have all worked hard to see this project come to fruition and provide the local community of Angle Vale with a facility that will be enjoyed for years to come,â&#x20AC;? he said. The funding was made as part of the Better Regions Program.

Worker fined over shed death An employee has been fined and ordered to undertake a formal assessment of his competence to operate a forklift following an incident in which a visiting stock controller was fatally injured in a fall at Paskeville in 2006. Geoffrey Ronald Poole, aged 66, was fined $5600 in the SA Industrial Relations Court last Tuesday, after pleading guilty to breaches of the Occupation Health Safety and Welfare Act 1986, requiring an employee to take reasonable care to avoid adversely affecting the health and safety of any other person at the workplace. SafeWork SA prosecuted the loader operator after investigating an incident at Paskeville in November 2006, in which 33-year-old Dong (Gavin) Wang was fatally injured in a fall from the raised tines of a forklift operated by Mr Poole. During a stocktake of haybales in a shed, Mr Wang asked to be raised to the top of a large stack. In contravention of both written and verbal instructions of the employer, SP Hay, not to carry anyone aloft in anything but a personnel box, Mr Poole lifted Mr Wang to a height of 5.8 metres at the end of his Manitou telescopic loader, from where he fell. A pathologist suggested Mr Wang could also have been crushed o Advertising Feature

Discover the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Cornish happinessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest Cornish festival, Kernewek Lowender is being held at various locations across the Copper Coast, from May 11 until May 17. Packed with a variety of traditional Cornish activities and events, the Kernewek Lowender celebrates the early mining heritage of the Yorke Peninsula towns of Kadina, Moonta and Wallaroo, with the festival highlight being the â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Big Weekendâ&#x20AC;?. On Friday, Village Green Fair is on at Kadina. The day will capture the essence of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cornishnessâ&#x20AC;?. Maypole dancing, traditional Furry Dancing, Cornish dress, the May Queen presentation and official opening will all take place in Kadinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own village green, Victoria Square. Held every two years since 1973, the Kernewek Lowender, which means â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Cornish Happinessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, attracts large crowds from South Australia, interstate and overseas and is proudly supported by the South Australian Tourism Commission and Yorke Peninsula Tourism Marketing. Music, food and drinks will add to the picnic funfair atmosphere. On Saturday, the historic mining town of Moonta will come alive with a grand

procession through the main street, featuring Cornish groups, marching bands and a parade of magnificent floats. The procession culminates at Moonta Oval for the Fer Kernewek, a traditional Cornish fair incorporating Cousin Jack and Jenny traditional costumes, music, cornish pasties and swanky beer, competitions, stalls and funfairs. Classic cavalcade will run from Wallaroo to Kadina on Sunday. Starting at the grain marshalling yards the RAA/Rosewarneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Copper Coast Classic Cavalcade will feature cars and motorcycles 30 years and older. Cruising along Wallarooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foreshore and main street, the Cavalcade passes the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blessing of the Watersâ&#x20AC;? site at the Sailing Club and moves onto Moonta and Port Hughes before ending at the Kadina Oval. All cars will be on display for spectators to enjoy a closer look and chat with owners. Food and drink stalls, live music, a funfair and award presentations will cap off the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big Weekendâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;˘ For further information visit www.kernewek.org or phone 8821 4500.

against the bales when he was raised, but this could not be proven conclusively. Mr Wang suffered extensive injuries in the fall and went into cardiac arrest shortly afterwards, with paramedics unable to revive him. He was married with a nine-week-old son at the time. The employer owned two personnel boxes to be used in such task, with

at least one available on the day. The maximum fine for an offence in this instance involving an employee is $10,000. Magistrate Stephen Lieschke discounted the penalty by 20 per cent from $7000 to $5600 for an early guilty plea and contrition, but ordered Mr Poole undertake a formal assessment of his competency to operate powered loaders.

Balaklava identity Margaret Gleeson called the Sunday morning 5AA garden show â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and amongst other things was lamenting on air about her blunt garden shears. Where to get them sharpened? A place in Norwood was suggested, though for Margaret that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really the best solution. But Balaklava residents Jeanette and Lindsay Day had one. They heard Margaret speaking on 5AA, tracked her down, collected the shears and Lindsay, known for this service, sharpened and repaired them and had them back to Margaret on Sunday afternoon. What a wonderful, friendly gesture. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s country folk for you!

LOCAL v Living

A little settlement with a big history According to Rodney Cockburn, Long Plains is the descriptive term for a little settlement on the Adelaide Plains “through which the Salisbury-Red Hill railway passes.” It is a small tight-knit community that has, for many years, produced some outstanding sportspeople, and many of the farms in the area have been passed down through several generations of long-standing family names. The most prominent building in this town is, no doubt, the Soldiers’ Memorial Hall. An article, written by local resident Allan Parker, tells us that the idea of building the hall began in 1913 when the Church of Christ was no longer big enough for public functions. “Fundraising began in earnest on Empire Day 1913 with a fair in the afternoon

The project was delayed during World War I, with fundraising resuming from 1918, and it was another five years before the hall was completed.

small debt remained when the hall was officially opened in October 1923. The debt was finally cleared in 1938. The hall was a busy place with many functions held in its early years. It is reported that at the 1924 Annual General Meeting, “a total of 76 people were elected to the committee”, most living within three miles of the hall, and all within a radius of six miles. Variety concerts were popular, the Shannon Methodist Church Ladies Guild held its strawberry fetes in the hall, and it was also the venue for Sunday School anniversaries. Dances, private parties, table tennis competitions and Christmas celebrations have all been held there.

The Tenterfield Terrier Small ‘Fox Terrier-like’ dogs have been known in Australia for about 140 years. Throughout the world many breeds of small dogs have been kept for ratting and hunting vermin and the early settlers to Australia brought out small terrier type dogs with them. Over time a new breed became established in Australia as a working terrier and family companion — the Miniature Fox Terrier. Not a true miniature of the Fox Terrier, there were probably many crosses of breeds including Chihuahua, Whippet, Manchester Terriers, Miniature Pinscher and Italian Greyhounds that went into the development of the Miniature Fox Terrier. Confident, with an eagerness to learn, showing great loyalty to its owner and fearless and bold at work, it quickly found a home on many Australian farms where it worked hunting rats and rabbits as well as being companion to the household.

These terriers were bred quite extensively in northern New South Wales around the Tenterfield area and a keen fancier and breeder of this terrier was George Woolnough, the Tenterfield saddler (Peter Allen’s grandfather). In the early 1990s a group of interested owners, who wanted to secure the future of this terrier, advertised for interested persons to attend a meeting and in 1992 they decided to give the breed its own unique name and they chose “Tenterfield Terrier”. Today the Tenterfield Terrier is recognized as a pure-breed by the Australian National Kennel Council and can be regularly seen at dog shows throughout the country. Predominantly white with black, liver and/or tan markings, tri colour (i.e. white with black markings and tan cheeks and/ or tan above eyes and/or tan breeches this smart little dog with a maximum height of 30.5cm has adapted well to urban living.

What a man! Take any branch of science. Right there Jesus challenges belief. For example: Are you a chemist? Then Jesus challenges you to believe that he did what no one else has ever done – he turned water into wine. Are you a gynaecologist? He challenges you to believe that he was born without normal conception. Are you a medical doctor? Jesus claims he cured the sick and blind and crippled without medicines, without drugs, without surgery. Are you an economist? Jesus is on record as having reversed the law of diminishing returns by feeding 5000 men with two fishes and five loaves of bread. Are you a professor of physics? Witnesses say that – unaided by any external apparatus – Jesus

defied the law of gravity when he ascended into heaven. Are you a professor of religious history… an expert in world religions? Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14.6. Clearly Jesus knows lots more than we do about this world in which we live. And since we have no personal experience of the next world – the after-life – will we heed what he tells us about that too?

In brief Christians believe that Jesus is“the power of God and the wisdom of God” - 1 Corinthians 1.24

NEWS v District

‘Hotrocks’ plan set for 2020

Old building to go

The corner of Wasleys and Redbanks roads, Mallala, could be revamped, with council proposing a new outdoor interactive area. District Council of Mallala owns the land, and proposes to demolish the old stone building to create an area suitable for community and visitor use. This would include a paved, shaded seating area, landscaping, and rock walls incorporating signage to identify district landmarks and historically significant facts. Preliminary plans have been developed,and can be viewed at council’s Mallala office noticeboard and various businesses within Mallala. Anyone with suggestions on how the proposal could look or with any relevant historical facts is asked to contact risk management officer Derek Lawson on 8527 2006.

OBITUARY > Lyla Pansy Sutton

Lyla’s recipe for life

yla Pansy Sutton, whose pasties were once renowned through the district, passed away on April 27, aged 88. Lyla Pansy Lucas was born at Port Wakefield on January 8, 1921, to parents Rhonda Pauline and Alfred George Lucas. Lyla went to school at Port Wakefield, where she attained her qualifying certificate but then had to repeat grade seven as she had not reached the minimum school leaving age of 14. At age 14, Lyla left school to work for a local family, where she looked after small children and household tasks. The Lucas children Ron (Tinker), Clarice and Lyla were all competent swimmers, competing in swimming carnivals across the state including Wallaroo, Moonta and Peterborough, winning several trophies. Lyla met Ronald Bruce Sutton at the Port Wakefield swimming pool when she was just 14 years old. The pair became engaged on April 14, 1938 and were married on September 14 1940. Ron was the local milkman and the couple lived in Phillips street, Balaklava for several years, then leased the local bakery on Howe street in partnership with Colin Watts. At show time, Lyla made scones to enter in the cookery section, but when Ron scoffed at her offering, she challenged him to do better. Ron cleaned up first prize in the section and had lifelong bragging rights. The couple had three children, Barry (deceased 2000), Jeffrey and Christine. After moving from the bakery, Lyla and Ron purchased a small home in Harris street, and as their children grew up and attended school, Lyla became part of the school’s mothers club, where she served as president for two years and a committee member for many years. After the children went on to school, Lyla and Ron purchased the old Coffee Palace (most recently Twist and Shake takeaway), which they owned for seven years. Lyla would bake 24 dozen pies and pasties every day. Lyla was a great cook, and began catering for weddings with help from Joyce Sutton and Edna Sutton and a loyal band of helpers. Golf became a hobbie, and Lyla enjoyed playing bowls when work allowed. When Ron’s health began failing the couple sold the shop to build a new home in Fisher Street. Lyla later went back to work as a wardsmaid and later cook at Balaklava Hospital. During this time, her son Barry became confined to a wheelchair after a freak road accident, and Ron died an early death at 59 in 1975, while Lyla was just 54. She retired on her 59th birthday and eventually sold her home to reside in Virgo Village. Lyla later made Mill Court her home after a severe heart attack. She loved keeping in contact with grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and continuing to cook, sew, do craft work, and support the Crows.

A company drilling for hot rocks below the surface of the Adelaide Plains hopes to be producing geothermal energy on a large scale by 2020. Torrens Energy chief geologist and co-founder, Chris Matthew, gave a presentation to District Council of Mallala on Monday evening last week, outlining the company’s hopes and plans. He told councillors South Australia was the perfect location for potential geothermal energy because of possible subsurface uranium deposits at least five kilometres underground. While in other countries, such as New Zealand, geothermal energy production often taps into hot rocks created by active volcanoes, Mr Matthew said SA may also be able to tap into geothermal

energy because uranium releases heat as it breaks down, allowing heat to be accessed without releasing radioactivity. “South Australia is the world capital for uranium, and uranium generates heat through radioactive decay,” Mr Matthew said. “The heat is the only thing that comes up through the rocks.” Mr Matthew told council geothermal energy was expensive to produce in comparison to other forms of energy production, but if carbon credits came into play, would be very competitive in large scale production, which he hopes will be in place by 2015-2020. With future electricity shortfalls predicted, Torrens Energy hopes to help fill the shortage. The Torrens Energy project area extends from Torrens Is-

land along the Adelaide Plains, through to Port Augusta and parts of the Flinders Ranges. Shallow drilling test holes have already been drilled near Balaklava, Port Wakefield and Long Plains, but not all results have been returned yet, as holes are left to settle before heat measurements are taken. Mr Matthew said all projects were located on the national electricity grid and had access to water, which would be needed to produce geothermal energy. Mr Matthew said the deep wells needed for actual geothermal production cost $15 million each. Grant funds were granted for the shallow drilling, and a geothermal drilling fund has recently been opened, granting $7 million per project, which may

be accessed by Torrens Energy in the second round of funding. When it comes to drilling the deep wells, Torrens Energy has partnered with AGL Energy. Two wells are required to generate energy, with cold water pumped into one, which flows out again through the second well after being heated by the hot rocks. The heat is then used to produce energy. Similar projects elsewhere have shown saline water is suitable for geothermal energy production, opening the opportunity of using seawater rather than fresh water. In 2009/10, Mr Matthew said more holes would possibly be drilled on the Adelaide Plains and the heat resources available would be defined.

Family friendly – and your local entertainer

earty pub meals, a family friendly atmosphere and a warm open fire make Kapunda’s Clare Castle Hotel a popular winter venue. Since taking over “The Clare” just over a year ago, publican Kerrie Price, has made changes to make the pub inviting for families with children of all ages. An all weather beer garden keeps younger children entertained with a lawn to play on and basketball hoop. While the pool room with its own bar, video games, jukebox and popular Buck Hunter Safari hunting game is a hit with teenagers. Kerrie says with the kids entertained, parents can make the most of a meal out, and enjoy a coffee at their table or join other patrons at the bar for a drink. Seafood dishes are a highlight of the menu offered by former Barossa chef Tracey Stone including crumbed prawn cutlets, garlic prawns, salt ‘n’ pepper squid, crumbed calamari, oysters, flathead and butterfish feature. Or the seafood basket which offers prawn and scallop skewers, calamari, fish and prawns. Scotch fillet, rump steak, fillet mignon or steak and prawn will satisfy the red meat lover at your table. The famous Clare Castle burger served with chips is also a satisfying option. Chicken breast fillet topped with asparagus, hollandaise sauce and bacon or chicken mignons served with potato rostis, bacon and mushroom sauce are popular. Wednesday night is schnitzel night. Beef or chicken schnitzels topped with your choice of gourmet sauce (hawaiian, calabrese, kilpatrick, meatlovers or hot and spicy), or more traditional gravies and sauces (plain gravy, mushroom, pepper, dianne, creamy garlic, seafood or parmigiana) are available for $14.90. A good range of pasta dishes including spaghetti bolognaise, fettuccini carbonara, homemade lasagne, vegetarian fettuccini or penne prawns and

There are solar panels on the roof that power a ventilation system. Significant improvements to Toyota’s patented Hybrid Synergy Drive technology are central to the new car’s improved performance and environmental credentials. It features a 1.8litre engine compared with the current car’s 1.5-litre engine, improving its performance and economy, especially on the highway. It is expected to accelerate more briskly, yet consume approximately 10 per cent less fuel on the official combined cycle. Unlike most other hybrid vehicles available, Prius has been a “full” hybrid since introduction. This allows it to run on engine alone, battery alone, or a combination of both - and to charge the batteries while the car is running.

a new electronically controlled system for recovering energy from braking. It offers three driving modes – electric only, eco and power – so you can get the best possible fuel economy. It also features ecological (plant-based) plastic for the seat-cushion foam and other areas. Ecological plastic is carbon neutral and helps reduce dependency on oil. World-first technology introduced with new Prius includes a remote air-conditioning system that functions on battery power alone. Its coefficient of drag is 0.25 Cd - the slipperiest shape of any mass-produced car. Prius is also the first Toyota to offer dynamic radar cruise control, a pre-collision system, intelligent parking assist and a completely belt-less engine.

Ford’s fuel miser due soon

Ford’s Fiesta ECOnetic model is expected to go on sale in Australia later this year. Released in Australia at the Melbourne motor show earlier this year, “it will enable customers to drive a mainstream, fuel efficient and low CO2 emitting vehicle that is also stylish and affordable, delivering economy without compromise,” Ford Australia president and CEO, Marin Burela, said. ECOnetic looks almost identical to any other member of Ford’s funked up Fiesta range Look closely though and you’ll notice a more aerodynamic set of bumpers, lowered suspension and low rolling resistance tyres. Inside there’s a five-speed manual gearbox paired with a shift light which, unlike the kind found in sports cars, flashes

green when its the optimum time to change up for improved fuel efficiency. Look beneath the bonnet and you’ll find a reworked version of Ford’s 1.6-litre turbo-diesel, which when combined with all the other details nets a fuel economy rating of 3.7L/100km in official European testing. Specifications and pricing have yet to be announced but it is hoped features available on select Fiesta models are made standard on the Econetic, such as the USB port for iPod connectivity and Bluetooth hands-free system with integrated voice control. Like other Fiestas, the Econetic

has a dashboard whose design is influenced by mobile phones. Ford has several hybrids on sale in the US, the mid-size Fusion sedan and a version of the Ford Escape. In Australia, Ford has elected to go with the company’s European Econetic range where there are also Econetic versions of the Focus and Mondeo. In Australia, it is likely Ford will await sales reaction before committing any other models to ECOnetic. How do Ford ECOnetic vehicles work? According to one of Ford’s directors, the aim for the engineering team responsible for producing the Ford ECOnetic vehicles was to develop the maximum reduction in CO2 emissions using presently available technologies. To do this, the engineers examined

drive resistances and looked to improve the aerodynamics of the vehicles. This was implemented in various ways – lowering the vehicles to reduce drag; adding an aerodynamics kit; using low-resistance tyres and introduction of a low viscosity transmission oil. In the case of the Ford Focus ECOnetic, the vehicle was lowered to just 10mm above the ground at the front and just 8mm above the ground at the back. The aerodynamics kit is included as standard and consists of features like a rear spoiler, a modified bumper skirt and rocker claddings. The outer areas of the lower grille were given blanking plates on the inside, further improving aerodynamics. • Source: www.cnet.com.au and thegreencarwebsite.co.uk o Advertising Feature

Hockey Under 14

Balaklava and Wendouree took to the field in a battle for possession. Within the first few minutes, Balaklava’s Marni and Bryce each scored a goal and Balaklava’s defence line of Natasha, Tim H and Tim G worked very well. Tom showed good play, while Hedley contested the ball hard through the centre. Brothers Heath and Tyler, although new to the game, played very well. In the early minutes of the second half, Balaklava missed a chance at goal with good assisted play from Casey. Young players Nathan and Riley showed great enthusiasm. Wendouree fought hard to score but were unsuccessful, and with great determination kept bringing the ball back to their scoring end. Joe had some good play on the ball and Hedley added another score on the board for Balaklava. After some good play, Hedley scored again with Bryce adding to the scoreboard minutes later. Ethan joined Balaklava’s defence team, the line proving too strong with Michael doing a fantastic job as goalie. Balaklava won 5 – 0.

Under 17

The game started with both teams playing strong. Wendouree was first to enter their offensive circle, but Balaklava quickly got it out to the centerline where Wendouree took back control. However, Balaklava kept at them and the defenders worked well, preventing Wendouree from scoring on two attempts at goals. Play continued with both teams fighting hard for the ball until Wendouree managed to get the ball into their attacking zone, scoring a goal. Play continued with Balaklava winning possession and having a number of shots at goal but Wendouree’s defence was just too good. Josh played well, gaining the ball back on a number of occasions. Balaklava kept the ball down in their attacking circle but were unable to convert. Both teams continued to fight hard for the ball, with a number of short corners being given for each side. Wendouree was able to sneak a goal through after some good play. For a little while Balaklava had the majority of play, but were unable to score with Wendouree’s goalie doing a good job in defence. Play went back and forth between the two teams, with both sides having chances at a goal but the defenders on both sides played well. It was a good game to watch with Wendouree winning 2 – 0.

Women

Balaklava won the toss and chose to play to the northern end. Springstown had first possession of the ball but could not penetrate into their forward 25 yard

area. The game see-sawed up and back through the middle involving most players. Balaklava got a penalty corner at the 10 minute mark but could not score from it. Springstown started to get a run-on style of play working for them but were rebounded by Balaklava’s goalie, Hayley Chapman, with clearing kicks. Springstown scored the opening goal with a decisive hit by Jayne Price at the 20 minute mark. This lifted the confidence of the Springstown forwards, who made positive approaches to goal but strong defensive work by Balaklava kept them from scoring. In the latter part of the first half, Balaklava got on top with most of the possession but could not get an open shot at goal. First half highlights included strong clearing hits by defenders Renea and Louise for Balaklava, and Christine Haydon for Springstown. Belinda and Mary controlled the ball well in the midfield and passed on to other Balaklava players. Jayne Price, Springstown combined good running and experience to continually set up forward play. Balaklava commenced the second half with strong intensity, especially Amber – who was unlucky not to equalize the score. Tegan played a pivotal support role setting up many passages of play. Again Balaklava won a penalty corner but could not score from it. This boosted Springstown, who dominated the play for the next ten minutes, however unable to score from a penalty corner. Hayley working hard at ground level saved a fantastic shot at goal by Springstown. At the 25 minute mark, Springstown were rewarded with another penalty corner but could not score. Amber moved the ball quickly down the field, resulting in a

short corner for Balaklava but the defence was too strong. The last five minutes saw Balaklava dominate the play with numerous shots at goal, however none hitting the target. Springstown had two late 100 metre runs at goal but could not add to their score. Springstown won 1 – 0. It was good to see a women’s game of a high standard early in the season. Both teams ran the full game and had scoring chances that were blocked by strong defences. Balaklava wore black arm bands in respect for past player and club stalwart Lori Daelman, who passed away this week. Her contribution to the Balaklava Hockey Club will be remembered for may years to come.

Men

Balaklava started well getting into the attacking circle in the first 30 seconds. This fast pace continued throughout the first half. Both sides were forced to use long hits to clear defence only to see the ball rebound quickly. Napper had two clear opportunities but was unable to score. At the 20 minute mark, Riverton won two penalty corners but Balaklava defenders kept it out. The frantic pace of the game started to take its toll with a few careless tackles from both sides, and passes not reaching the intended player added to the tension of the game. Two shots for Balaklava rebounded off the post. James trapped the first rebound only to hit the ball back onto the post again. Riverton then cleared through a 16 yard hit and set up a penalty corner in the closing minutes of the half. Highlights for the first half included Kelvin’s control of the ball on the run for Riverton, Josh’s long clearing hits and Napper’s pressure in the attacking circle

for Balaklava. Andrew Chapman was a rock of defence for Riverton. Again Balaklava through Raf got the ball into their attacking circle in the first 30 seconds but the hit was too fast for the forwards to get to it. The younger players for Riverton were prepared to take the ball and run it out of defence time and time again only to be cut off by Balaklava half backs at the center line. A rare error by Josh gave away a penalty corner for Riverton but they could not get a shot at goal. With the blink of an eyelid Balaklava were into their attacking quarter. All players were involved in the game with play criss crossing the field with nether side getting supremacy. At the 20 minute mark, Balaklava had their two best chances for the half but were unable to convert. Ever so close. The experience of Trent, Lee, Raf and Josh combining together opened up the Riverton defence resulting in Napper getting a strong hit at goal from the top of the circle to score the opening goal at the 25 minute mark of the second half. Minutes later a great passage of play resulted in Napper lifting the ball high into the net beating the goalie to bring up Balaklava’s second goal. In the closing stages, Trent scored in an open circle with a deflection off the goalies’ pads. Balaklava scored again through Lee increasing the gap on the scoreboard but the intensity of the game continued. The final score of 4 – 0 was not reflective of the high standard of this game. This was a great spectacle of local hockey, which is alive and strong in the mid north. A big thankyou to those who wrote reports.

weekly comment

Care with barley varieties With sowing underway across most of South Eastern Australia, it is worth while taking note that some sowing decisions need to be made with the marketing of your grain in mind. There are many buyers out there now, all with different customers that require different products. Some products that growers are used to growing may have a shrinking demand as newer products become available. Below are some comments regarding current malting barley varieties that Peter Breguet, Barley Marketing Manager for CBH Grain has commented on, sighting his day to day dealings with foreign and domestic customers. Gairdner is a variety that has high demand both in the domestic market and with foreign maltsters. This is one of the varieties that is probably sitting at the top of the peak for varieties grown in the eastern states because of its all round great qualities. Baudin is another variety that is seen as a premium product around the globe. Expect most buyers to be securing tonnage of Baudin this season. It is anticipated that Buloke and Flagship will experience a growing demand in the next few years. Both are still in market development stage both here and overseas. Marketers are being very active at securing a long term market for this grain. Commander is showing strength on the domestic market, but the export market for this variety is yet to be determined. It is still at the very early stage of market development. Of more concern are the markets for old favourites, Schooner and Sloop. It is expected that Sloop will have limited buyers this year, given the demand for other varieties. This is the case for both Sloop Vic, and Sloop SA variants. The newer varieties are giving better results to those who determine what the market wants, the maltsters. Schooner still has some domestic demand, and more export demand than Sloop, and also is still used for its qualities for making Shochu in Japan, for which there is no current replacement, but its demand is also on the decline. New crop malt barley prices are around at the moment, with only a few buyers posting prices. For more information on local and international grain market developments and grain prices either call your local CBH Grain Regional Manager or 1800 107 759, or go to www.cbhgrain.com.au

A par-sized field appeared last Saturday for a Stableford competition as we fought to win the highly

popular Kirri Hill Trophy which went, surprise surprise, to Bill Parkin, known affectionately as “Tyrone” (Tyrone Shoelaces!). Bill won with a score of 38, on a count back from a determined Mark Loy, leaving last week’s victor, Wayne Nagle, to be satisfied with a rather undignified third place having scored just 37. He only got that far courtesy of the good Count Bach leaving morose Merv Hameister to dream of what might (“should!”) have been. Trailing these worthy souls were G. Spence (36), R. Butterworth (36), P. Lamont (34), I. Michael (30), M. Smith (28), J. Michael (26) and G. Ackland (22). Over in the B Grade field it was young Jye Neale’s turn for glory. His unassailable score of 43 points shaded even the fast improving Tate Michael (41) and the vast, improving Barry Michael (35 on a count back from Dave Rodgers). Loping inwards at a respectful distance were B. (junior) Michael (35), S. Jonas (34), R. Veitch (33), A. Henstridge (33), D. Goudie (33), D. Trickett (31), C. Michael (30), A. Manuel (29), W. Berry (29) and S. Purdue (24). Bill Parkin followed up with a Birdie on the 8th, as did Tate Michael, also on the 8th. Bill also snagged Nearest The Pin on that 8th, leaving Peter Lamont to do so on the 3rd. Mark Loy (10th), Dean Trickett (15th) and that sensation of the seamless strokeplay, our very own “Mighty Muzz” Murray Smith, who claimed the 17th. Round one of the President’s Cup was contested on the day as well, in the course of which Tate Michael mangled Dean Trickett ( up 4/3), Merv. Hameister hamstrung Rob Veitch (up 4/3), Wayne Nagle whopped Peter Lamont (up 2/1) and Steve Jonas jumped Murray Smith to win one up. As well, the Captain’s Trophy stoush got underway, with Austin Henstridge beating Bill Berry (up 2/1), Geoff. Spence smiting Graham “Emu” Ackland (7/6), Bill Parkin punishing Ian Michael (up 2/1) and Dave Rodgers running roughshod over big Barry Michael (up 6/4). Be warned, you of feint heart and feeble fetlocks – Geoff Spence has taken it upon himself to claim, name and ordain our “Golfer of the Year” in pretty quick time, so start brushing up on your acceptance speeches now. Also, thanks to all concerned for the brilliant roll-up to our vital 100-Club bash last Saturday evening. Apparently all went very well, with no one coming dressed as Chicken Little.

Results from Saturday May 9. Competition: Par. Sponsor: Ian Gameau Plumbing. No of Players: 36. CCR: +7. Another excellent field of players for round six especially after another big field of 53 players for our Friday night golf, there didn’t seem to be to many sore heads or at least nobody would own up to having a hangover. Some very good scores again this week, notably Stuart Grigg +10, Chris Girling +8, S Abbott +8, R Grigg +7 and B Readett +7. I would like to commend Russell on the way he handled his speech last Saturday night as it was well said and direct to the point. Comedy act for the week R Grigg T Datson Tanunda Pines with the Mid North Vets, if you don’t know, don’t ask! My matchplay was a very good game as young Andrew Baker pushed me all the way through 20 holes, very well done from a young upcoming player. I do believe that our presentation nights are getting better each week as we go, we are laughing and having just a damn good time, let’s keep that

The Balaklava Tennis Club recently purchased a much needed tennis practice hitting wall, situated at the town courts. It is of a parabolic shape, which is to enable the ball to bounce back to the player more easily. The wall will be utilised by the club for trainings but is also available for the public to use and improve their tennis skills. It also makes having a hit of tennis easier if you are on your own as the wall can be your opponent! The court facilities are overseen by the Ralli Park Courts Committee. Anyone would like to book the courts, please contact Tania Allen.

The final match was a close one, with Helen Barry’s Lemons eventually winning 4-33 to 2-23 over the absent Helen Durdin’s Limes. Kirsty Williams took Helen D’s spot and gave Helen B a good workout, including a first set tie. Helen’s recent summer tennis kept her in good stead to pull her team through, winning that tie with newie Tess Mellow. The big news for the day was that Tess served an ace! Well done! I think she’s actually played somewhere before and is lulling us into a false sense of security before acing everyone! Tess also played another tie with Di Meaney, out for her first hit, but they went down this time to Valerie Carling and Trudy Redpath. Welcome to Trudy, filling in at short notice, and showing she’s got her mother, Clare stalwart Nat Dunstan’s, talent! Trudy and Angela Battle won a long 6-4 so Trudy was indeed the star for the Limes - she will be asked back! Valerie was having a dirty day out against Di, until the last set when Di’s energy had nearly run out, so Valerie, sensing this, stepped up the pace to win the tie! The very casual Lemon, Kim Eime had a consistent hit against Angela all day, with both hitting the ball well. All good tennis! Until next week when we welcome even more ladies and after a big weekend, we’ll take special note of how Tess is walking…

Tennis

After a false start last week, the winter nighters made their way out for their first ‘real’ encounter of the season. With a cast of more fill-ins than regulars (well, almost), we saw some excellent sets played. Lisa Redpath’s Tugs chugged behind Richard Goldney’s Ships, 430 to 2-20. Actually the Tugs were not disgraced, with two tiebreakers and two 5-3s played. Lisa and opponent Richard featured in both ties, with Lisa being on the victorious end of both, one each with partners Shaun Northcott and Di Taylor. The scores were level at one set apiece, but the middle sets saw the Tugs go down faster than the Titanic, putting increased pressure on themselves for the last two sets. The Tugs managed to win one so all was not lost! Chris Daniel was filling in for the Ships and had a good battle against Di, including a tie. Tugs Kevyna Gardner was feeling the heat against her young opponent Bec Houston but felt great after a good workout! Fellow chalkie, Cherie Cleary, also had a good workout against Shaun, but after losing the first set tie, showed him you don’t mess with experience, taking the next two! Well done to all players! The other match played saw Lauren Parker’s Canoes get pipped by just four games by Courtney Daniel’s Yachts, 3-26 to 3-22. The final score was a thriller but the set scores were not as close as the aforementioned match. As there were four of the regular eight players out, the next time these two teams meet could show a totally different final score! The Yachts, ably assisted by Scott McDonald and Simon Purdue, won the first two sets and were looking like sailing right through the night, but the Canoes had other ideas, taking the next two. The lovebirds Darryl Barkla and Courtney couldn’t click in their set together, but they had tough opponents in fill-in Pauline Hill and regular David Northcott. Scott and Simon had started the night well, but in their set together, had the wind knocked out of them by Steve Lawrie and Fran Henderson. Nice to see Fran out in winter, with a rumour she had to have her ugg boots forcibly removed prior to tennis! It was down to the last two sets, and both were shockers, with the guns (and opponents from last season), Steve and Pauline, giving Scott and Courtney a ‘what for’ 7-1 , while Simon and Darryl gave the Yachts a dak dropper win over Fran and David. Quite an array of scores! Until next week when the beanies may be out and some regulars back in.

ladies winter

Even with a bye team, we’ve once again had many fill-in’s out, so a big thankyou to all of you! After the bye last week, the absent Heidi Zerk’s fresh Solos had a clean sweep over Shaz PIke’s unlucky Sprites 6-36 to 0-17. The Solos had Denby Wandel, on a bye, filling in, having recovered from her marathon sets the previous week and deciding she just couldn’t bear to have a week off! Denby was faced with leftie Terissa Smart, and these two had a very even tussle all day, including a tiebreaker. Terissa and one of Denby’s team-mates Belinda MayWoidt, were unlucky to lose the tie to Denby and Julie Bigg. Belinda wasn’t content with having just one tie for the day, so had another one with Lorraine Jenner. However she still managed to come second to Julie and Kellie Harrison, so is hoping to turn that around next week! Shaz started well against Melissa but was eventually outgunned as Mel got her eye in! We hope to see Sprites Rae Winen out next week and hope she is feeling better! Heidi is also going to pull a sickie from the tractor next week as she’s desperate to play! With Kellie belting shots around the tramlines, Lorraine couldn’t do lunch and required a rubdown after stretching for one too many shots. Pauline Hill’s Fantas defeated Louise Michael’s Bitters 4-34 to 2-22, in a match with three tiebreakers, two going the Bitters way, but it wasn’t enough! Bitters Di Taylor, who is going to be promoted next week, and Chris Simon, out for her first hit, were unlucky to lose a first set tie to Sascha Tiller and Narelle ‘Nazza’ Michael, whilst Pauline and Kerrie Bell showed Louise and Kathryn Mahony they meant business in a 6-1. Chris and opponent Narelle decided another tiebreaker was in order, with Chris and Louise staging a comeback to win that tie 10-8 over Naz and Paulini. Then Louise and Paulini decided to get in on the act and have another tie, much to their partners, Di and Sascha’s disgust! With energy sapped, all players needed a sugar fix with the bikkies and coffee hitting the spot in between sets! At times Kathryn was seen daydreaming about her recent overseas tour win, with many ladies offering to carry her bags! Kathryn and Kerry did have some good rallies with some tight angled low shots played. Well done to Chris who featured in both of the Bitters winning sets! Maybe next week, we’ll be able to help you!

Hummocks tried – but another Wells win Two Wells v Hummocks

NICOLA Bryan, Virginia catches the ball during the fast-paced A1 game against Mallala.

Another winning week for Two Wells, now placing them on the top of the A1 Adelaide Plains Netball Association premiership table. Hummocks challenged, but went down by five goals, 43 – 38. Making a successful start, Two Wells seized the first goal of the game, then another two followed, with Hummocks getting no chance to put the ball in their net. Two Wells’ centre court pushed hard and kept a feed for the goal ring, giving Wells great opportunities. Two Wells used strong defence against Hummocks, making it difficult for them to score, as they were forced to shoot from just inside the ring, missing some good chances with the distance they had to make. “Both teams played well. Although there were times when we didn’t – but we still got over the line,” said Two Wells coach, Penny Nicholas. Goalkeeper Amy Roberts played strongly in defence for the Wells’ girls and Cassie Lange came through as best player, demonstrating her accurate shooting skills. A2’s Emily Noack filled in for a Hummocks player due to a knee operation. Hummocks coach, Cheryl Applebee was happy with her efforts, saying Emily “worked hard.” Hummocks’ centre court was great, they played and communicated well. They were ‘tight’.

A1 reports by Stephanie Reimers However, their goalies “weren’t on the mark” though they did put up a good fight. “It was a great game to watch, a good close game. We’re quite keen to have another crack at them.” Cheryl said. Hummocks’ best player was Tammy Nicholls.

Mallala v Virginia

A victorious day for Mallala, defeating Virginia by 37 goals, 64 – 27. Both teams were strong in defence. Midge May and Jayne Brown were hard to break through, setting up a defensive barrier for Mallala. They intercepted passes and blocked their opposition. Controlling the centre court was Diana Franks, while Dani McGannon and Tessa Jarmyn perfomed well as shooters in the first half. Tessa then teamed with Carla Jarmyn, working strongly together and making great rebounds in the second half. “Mallala had a fast, flowing game down court.” said Mallala’s coach Leanne Work.

Long Plains won a close game against Hamley Bridge, 48 – 41. Both teams followed in each other’s footsteps, defending tightly, and shooting accurately.

Magpies derail the Rams train Improvement still need in Virginia unit By Lindsay Nesbit

A grade

Mallala defeated Virginia by 13 goals in a clash many anticipated would be much closer. On a perfect day, and with the ground in its usual immaculate condition, the top of the table clash looked a recipe for some quality football. Virginia coach Greg Phillips was keen to test his Rams “against the best”, and while Virginia are a much improved unit, further improvement is still required. As expected the game started at a frantic pace. Mallala coming out of the blocks at full speed booting three goals before Virginia even looked like troubling the scoreboard. When Brian Montgomery did what he does best and booted a goal, it was four-nil Mallala’s way, the ball rarely in the Rams attacking zone. Joel Montgomerie became Mr Untouchable. His skill and speed beyond the grasp of any Virginia player. Jason Earl was another Magpie in exceptional ‘early’ touch, providing the visitors with plenty of headaches. Anthony Seccafien got the Rams on the board with a goal. But then the Rams hit pay dirt with two goals to the livewire Mark Nykamp. Virginia was back in the picture. A Daniel Feeley major quelled any thoughts of a Virginia quarter time lead. The first term was one for the ‘blood nuts’. Joel Montgomerie brilliant for Mallala, Mark Nykamp the pick of the Rams. A 16 point quarter time lead soon ballooned out with majors to Feeley, Brad Griffiths and Brad Hardie. Mallala were on fire. Equally so in defence. Tim Cawrse a sensational grab, under pressure of two opponents and running with the flight of the ball, Cawrse was simply too good. Not to be outdone his brother David was at his best at full back. Brad Hardie nearly took a big mark. While he spilled the mark his recovery was exceptional, and he ‘soccered’ through a goal. When Brad Griffiths got another, then Brian Montgomery another, the floodgates had opened. This was champagne football. Even in premiership years, this quarter was up with the best of them. Mallala had blown the game wide open. Joel Montgomerie, aside from running the Rams ragged, also became a contender for mark of the year, climbing high up on the shoulders of his Virginia opponent to take a sensational grab. Approaching half time the Rams were shell shocked. The pressure applied by Mallala was incessant. Virginia were becoming hesitant.

Mallala 19-11 (125) d Virginia 6-10 (46)

Whereas Mallala would mark and play on immediately, Virginia would mark and stop, looking for options. Seven goals one point to nothing in the second term left the Rams with little hope of a win. The much vaunted Virginia midfield vanquished. Players who had been prominent in the Rams’ first two victories, having little or no impact on the game, completely shut down by their Mallala opponents. Mallala a point shy of a 10-goal half time lead. The third term opened with a Mathew Young goal. The Rams Plains Producer medal winner was getting touches, without dominating. Liam Whitwell restored the leading margin for Mallala. Paul Blacket came on in the third term for his first ‘A’ grade game back from a long illness enforced layoff. ‘Blackie’ showed he had lost none of his touch picking up some valuable possessions. Virginia were marking better and hadn’t dropped their intensity, but neither had Mallala. A Shamus Schutt goal gave the Rams some respectability. No sooner had the Rams clawed one back than a Brad Griffiths ‘grass cutter’ gave the Pies their 14th major. Griffiths kept his calm under enormous pressure to slot through his second. A quarter which saw Tim Cawrse leave the field concussed, later to spend the night in hospital. Virginia had managed to outscore Mallala by a measly three points in the third term, and for the visitors that was about as good as it got. Mallala opened the final quarter with a major from Jonno Wildbore. From outside 50m it just kept on rolling and rolling and rolling, eluding players until in went through for a goal. Both the Wildbore lads, James and Jonno were creative and successful players over the whole game. Matthew Birchmore goaled from a tight angle, Brad Griffiths bombed one through from outside 50m. Everything was going the Pies way. The Rams were that down on luck that even a big mark from Anton Geradis, deserving of a goal, was touched right on the line. Mathew Young looked certain to kick a goal but a tackle as he kicked resulted in only a point. Andrew Vlassco was having a good duel in ruck with Ben Galic and Christian Dorward. Galic was also to take a huge mark on the grandstand wing this quarter. Steve Papanotis passed to Geradis and

this time the forward was rewarded with a goal. Brad Griffiths made the Rams pay dearly when he gratefully received a misdirected kick in defence. Another major rounded out the day with Mallala runaway winners in a five goal to one final term. As the match wound down to its conclusion about 10 players decided to hand out a few ‘love taps’ just to keep the crowd entertained. Brad Griffiths was awarded beston-ground for Mallala. His marking, presenting himself, and four goals were a good day’s work. Joel Montgomerie was awesome, Daniel Feeley and Brian Montgomery with four goals apiece. Angus Bruggeman straight from the colts to A grade has a huge future, Liam Heeley Ryan Montgomerie, the list goes on. Best on ground for Virginia was Adrian Mark. Kept busy in defence he was successful in preventing an even bigger blowout on the scoreboard. Mark Cocchiaro worked well as did Mark Nykamp and Ben Galic. Mallala would be very pleased with their overall four quarter effort, particularly their skill level and the pressure they applied. For Virginia the end result was not as bad as the scoreboard may indicate. The Rams have improved immensely this year and come July 4 when these sides next meet, expect a closer result.

Reserves

Mallala maintained their unbeaten start to the season when they prevailed over the Virginia Rams by 23 points. Anchored to the bottom of the ladder, and coming off a 20 goal flogging the week before, Virginia were not expected to offer much resistance. While the Rams again tasted defeat they put up a much improved showing trailing by less than a goal at half time. Mallala eventually pulled away in the second half to win comfortably. In what was a fairly forgettable first two terms of football, inaccuracy was the order of the day. The first half ending with only three majors from 14 scoring shots, and all on a perfect day for football. Goals to Derek Tiller and Nathan Griffiths for Mallala, and Chris Campbell for Virginia were the only highlights to half time. Both sides had their defences well on top. Pressure forced skill errors, and

Ryan McGannon was rock solid in defence for Mallala, Jason King taking some telling marks, and Kyle Jamieson providing plenty of run around the ground. James Barr in the midfield was another to see plenty of the ball as was Brett Tucker. Con Mylonopoulos, BOG for the Rams in the last two weeks, again was proving to be among their best. Beau Zito, Michael Pogas, Billy Drew, and David Fieldhouse were other Rams picking up touches. When the third term commenced, a pass from Nathan Griffiths to Jason King resulted in a goal. At long last it looked as if the game might start to open up a bit. Brad Thomas was one Magpie also starting to assert some influence. When Alex Leo kicked a point for Virginia, their scoreline now read one goal, nine behinds. Eventually the Rams got their second major but no sooner had that occurred when Nick Work got one back for Mallala followed a minute later by a goal to Nathan Griffiths. Mallala going to three quarter time with their tails up. The final term proved the most productive, scoring and entertainment wise. An early major to Chris Campbell for Virginia kept them in touch, but the reply from Ben Edwards for Mallala proved telling. The Edwards major again just keeping Virginia at bay. When Derek Tiller spun around and kicked a goal from an acute angle the crowd were left to wonder why scoring goals had been so difficult earlier in the

match. Mylonopoulos continued on with his good game, and when he found Alex Leo the big bloke made no mistake. But it was too little too late for Virginia. Majors to Jesse Crewdson and another to Ben Edwards rounded out a successful day for the home side.

Junior Colts

The game was played in perfect conditions. The first quarter saw Mallala attacking the goals. The first goal for Mallala was after a tap back from Dylan Kearns to Kyle Hummell for an easy goal. Mallala continued to score and finished the quarter with four goals. The second quarter Virginia scored through Tyler Jones. Anton Pogas started to come into the game and Virginia lifted. Mallala scored twice for the quarter with goals from Adam Coe and Lachlan O’Leary. The third quarter was fairly even with only the one goal scored by Dylan Kearns for Mallala. The final quarter was again fairly even with goals to Adam Coe and Luke Pritchard for Mallala, and a goal to Haydon Farrow for Virginia after an excellent mark. Best players for Mallala were many and included Jake Birchmore with another strong performance. Huey Kirvan was strong and reliable in defence, and Trent Graham played a good game on the wing. For Virginia Anton Pogas, Reece Spano, and Adam Drew all played well. Haydon Farrow showed that he will be one to watch in the future.

Top ten Goal Kickers

By Bronte Hewett

A Grade

Despite a solid start from Hummocks/Watchman Eagles, the speed and skill of the Two Wells youngsters turned the game around to earn the Roosters a 36-point victory at home on Saturday. With a brilliant show of class, the young Rooster side took off with the game in the second quarter. The Eagles looked set with strength and height the Roosters couldn’t contest. Shaun Light got a good clearance from the ruck for Eagles before Nick Jericho put away the first goal of the match in the opening minutes. Peter Seccafien bounced back for the Roosters by putting them on the scoreboard also. It was goal for goal for a while, but Eagles broke away to a five-goal lead at quarter time, with Daniel Thomas in fine form and Sam Jericho also threatening to the Two Wells defence. The quarter time score was 7-2 to 2-1. The second quarter was exciting and intense, as the Eagles used their strength and height to prevent the Roosters forward line marking inside 50. But 17-year-old Khan Leighton was virtually unstoppable through the mid-field for the Roosters. He played fast and hard at the ball, and wasn’t afraid to have a go at everything. The Eagles were taken aback as the Roosters took off with five unanswered goals. Shaun Light was strong for the Eagles ruck but speed from the Roosters mid-field was relentless. Tallen Leighton, Lee Allmond and Jimmy Struck also stepped up for the Roosters and used each other to create

excitement in the mid-field and forward line. Andrew Hardiman in centre half back was again a stand-out performer for Two Wells, creating plays, tackling hard and keeping pressure on the Eagles at all times. Shane Braham fought hard to keep Hummocks Watchman in the game, but going into half time, the Roosters

were one goal up and the Eagles were really under pressure to match their speed and dynamics. Matt Crook stepped up to the tough contest of the taller and more experienced Eagle ruckman, Shaun Light. Hummocks Watchman still looked a chance going into the second half, again trying to use the strength and

height that Two Wells was lacking. The size difference didn’t stop young Rooster brothers Khan and Tallen from getting amongst it and putting in the effort, usually managing to break away from their opponent’s hard tackling. Eagle Shaun Price held back the Roosters’ forward line with solid defence, and Joe Wilson pressured the Two Wells running mid-field. Two Wells were accountable for nearly all the loose balls though, disposing of them quickly and efficiently. The tension and frustration from the Eagles was evident when a brawl almost escalated following a 50m penalty in Two Wells favour. The fourth term was a real test of fitness and durability for the Roosters, who evidently stood the test and played hard until the end. The Eagles also maintained their stability, with Daniel Thomas putting away a total of five goals for the match and Shane Braham playing consistent footy all game. Jacob Hart and Stephen Lange’s tight defence on Jacob Rowe and Sam Jericho limited the Eagles forward line options, while Ben Spiteri made it tough for the Eagles in the mid-field. There was just no stopping the Roosters once the young mid fielders got their rhythm, and Andrew Hardiman showed a bit of consistent effort goes a long way. “The Eagles had a good start, but skill and effort from the young blokes kept the game alive for us,” Hardiman said after the game. Last year’s premiership side was out-skilled and out-run in one of the Roosters best games of the last few seasons. The final score was 15-14 (104) to 10- 8 (68) breaking the Roosters’ winning drought against the Eagles after almost a decade.

Reserves

Two Wells played a solid and consistent game once again in reserves, with their second consecutive 20-goal win. Hummocks/Watchmen tried hard to keep Two Wells’ attacking game under control, but the Roosters simply showed how well they are gelling together this season in their 163-point to 19-point win. Jason Stewart got the Roosters off to a good start, kicking the first goal and setting the high standard of skill. Bryce Hart really stood out again this week for Two Wells, controlling the ball and getting some good breaks. Richard Cohen was strong in the defence line for the Eagles, and took some solid marks. Dallas Hill broke the ice for Hummocks/Watchman with a snap shot inside 50, putting their first goal up in the first quarter. Michael Curnow and Brett Price were speedy in the midfield for the Eagles. But the side couldn’t get past the solid Rooster defensive line, with Cam Lamont securing the back pocket and moving out to help teammates at

times. The Roosters had good accountability and their teamwork was outstanding. Bryce Hart showed his full potential with a hook from the boundary line on the siren, giving Two Wells an 11-3 to 3-1 lead at half time. The second half showed even more skill and control from Two Wells, with Owen Allmond on target with six goals and Daniel Hooper putting in a good effort the entire game. Scott Allen and Josh Mahoney tackled hard through the midfield for Eagles. The team never showed signs of giving up, despite not kicking a goal in the second half. Darren Applebee was consistent on the ball for Two Wells with Eagle Riley Koch pursuing the ball on the defence. Teammate Peter Nicholls put in solid effort in offense. The Roosters could have kicked straighter in the last term, increasing their behinds to 19; however their goals were also plentiful with 24 all up. It was another team effort from Two Wells, showing more signs of a very strong season to come. The final score was 24-19 (163) to 3-1 (19).

SPORT v Football JAKE Hocking, Virginia junior colts, takes a mark in front of Eagle opponent Cody Scott the last time the two sides met, July 19 2008.

Eagles back to basics Virginia v HWE

This week’s match between Virginia and Hummocks Watchman Eagles throws up so many possibilities I am excited just thinking about it. Is it possible the Rams could regain their sensational form after their hiccup at Mallala last week, make another grand statement in the context of the season and defeat the reigning premier this weekend? Or will the Eagles redeem themselves and defeat the Rams, send them back to the mid-packs of the APFL while re-affirming themselves as a powerbroker of the competition? One thing is for sure, the way this year’s competition is shaping up anything is possible! There is no way Virginia won their first two games of the season on luck alone. To have 40 scoring shots in round one in the wet and account for Two Wells to the tune of 10 goals a week later means the Rams are surely capable of winning this week at home against the Eagles! Especially if their midfielders of Matty Young, Anthony Johnson, Phillip Williams and co and forwards Anton Geradis, Shamus Schutt, and Emanuel Tsmiklis can make amends for last week and fire up to get on top of their Eagle opponents. The Rams defence of Mark Cocchiard, Adrian Mark and Graham Rigney have been in good form. If they can contain dangerous Eagle forwards Jericho, Thomas and Co Virginia may well be looking at a 3-1 win/loss count after this week’s game. A win to the Rams would of course leave the Eagles stranded on an unfamiliar

Match of The Round Virginia v HWE (MOTR)

PREVIEWRound 5

n By Kym Jarman

Kym Jarman’s Kiss of Death Virginia by 15 pts Mallala by 30 pt Two Wells by 27 pts count of 1-3 - something almost unthinkable if you are a follower of the APFL. Surely after last week’s loss to the Roosters you would expect HWE to go back to basics and come out firing this week, knowing their season depends on being able to scrounge up a typical Eagle style victory at a time they need it most. Certainly the expected absence of a few key players including midfielder/ forward Ryan Reid who hyperextended his knee last week and defenders Nathan Young (injury cloud) and Paul Chivell ,who did his AC joint in the match at Two Wells won’t make it any easier for the visitors. Despite this, any side which possesses the likes of Shane Braham and Jared Wilson reading the ruck taps and the versatile options of Matt Higgs and Joe Hunt along with a band of committed footballers is not going to be toppled easily. In tipping a possible winner one factor springs to mind! HWE lost to Two

Wells last week – the same side that Virginia touched up by 10 goals just seven days prior. Regardless of the Eagles well-earned and respected reputation this factor can not be ignored. Hummocks Watchman aren’t all that familiar with playing on a large oval either – their physical style more suited to a smaller confined ground. Whether Virginia can break the shackles of the Eagles and exploit this will play a part in the match result. The Eagles’ reputation has a betting man very wary of tipping against them, especially as a loss has them with just one win on the board after four matches, neverthe-less 2009 form says the Rams at home can do it – if they can it means this APFL season is wide open.

Balak v Mallala

Balaklava enters this week’s match against Mallala fresh from a bye. The Magpies on the other hand come fresh off a demolition of the competition’s other

Magpie class brings Rams back to earth •From back page Virginia, without first use of the ball, had to work much harder than they did in the first two games of their season. Mallala’s dour defenders also were able to keep Virginia’s dangerous forwards quiet, with the Cawrse brothers minding Shamus Schutt and Liam Heeley doing a job on the dangerous Anton Geradis. Both forwards who netted a combined 16 goal return in their first two outings could only manage one goal apiece this week. In the end, what beckoned as a “test” for the Rams ended as more of a “lesson” with Virginia heading back to the drawing board ahead of their next match against HWE. The win sees the Magpies outright top of the APFL ladder as the stand alone unbeaten side.

Roosters bounce back with surprise win

In another game in which the result had us all with eyebrows raised and marvelling at the imminent evenness of the competition was the game at Two Wells in which the Roosters accounted for last year’s premiers in a game not many expected them to win. After their massive loss to the Rams a week prior the Roosters were expected to succumb to the competition’s powerhouse side and suffer their second loss at home in as many weeks. Instead, coach Steven Fitzgerald rang the changes this week with up to six players including Matthew Crook, Scott Wise, last year’s reserves medallist Shaun Nicholas and James Williams all coming into the side for their clash with the Eagles. These players along with Khan Leighton who returned from injury certainly “came to play” and along with many other players lucky to escape the axe, took a stand and made a big statement to all concerned accounting for the reigning premier by a comfortable five goal margin. A reshuffle of the Roosters’ placements on the field meant their mindset was much more attacking this week compared with the last. Two Wells’ selection moves paid off and not only did their on-ballers have much more influence this week their re-jigged forward line, unlike recent weeks, looked dangerous. Together with their running midfielders, their forwards gave coach Fitzgerald a return of 15 goals this week. This is a massive improvement compared with just a three goal return on a wet Anzac day and a four goal return in their disap-

pointing local derby loss to Virginia a week prior. A spread of 10 different goal kickers this week makes attractive reading for the Wells on the Plains Producer scoreboard. Fitzgerald was happy with the character shown by his side. “We had no passengers this week and I’m pleased we were able to play four quarters of good team-orientated footy” “After last week’s loss I’m pleased the boys came out and had a red hot go this week” “All the players we bought into the side played well, our on-ballers were very very good and our ruckmen were just superb against more experienced opponents. This week our forwards also kicked goals which made a difference” The win sees Two Wells move to a 2-1 win/loss ratio and into third place on the ladder. With a match up against the Bombers looming this weekend the Roosters have a good chance winning their third game in four and shoring up second place on the APFL ladder. From the state of mind they would have been in a week ago this was a massive turnaround. They say a week is a long time in footy!

this year (back from suspension in last year’s preliminary final) Adam Mansfield was also back to his best in what was a free flowing game. For the Bombers, Angus Lemmon was absolutely sensational. Following him as a great band of battlers that tried hard all day were Tom Smith, Justin Schahinger, Luke Smith, Dale Norman and James Peters. Joel Latimer collected many touches and was unlucky not to be named in the Bombers best player list.

form side in Virginia. There is plenty for Balaklava to get out of the game this week as a match against red-hot Mallala provides them with a test. A test for their younger players who continue to develop, a test for their more experienced players who are keen to lead their young team mates towards another win before the June long weekend. It provides a massive test for the Balaklava coaching staff who join the queue in trying to try and find a way to stop the Mallala juggernaut and it will also be a test for Balaklava’s ruckmen who are yet to have much of an impact this season due to injury. On the other hand the only thing Mallala really have to consider is they don’t become complacent after an impressive win last week. Mallala’s performance last week by reports suggests they performed as well as they have in recent years so it looks as if it will be a tough day at the office Saturday for the Peckers. Especially as the abundance of Mallala midfielders means it is almost impossible to match up and keep pace with the rotation system the Magpies have the luxury of using. Coach Keith Earl seems to have his players hungry each and every week whether they start in the midfield or not. Either way when the moves are made his boys are ready whether they are swung into the engine room, forward, back or to ride the bike next to the bench! This match will possibly be a big versus small type contest with Mallala’s runners up against Balaklava’s tall timber and marking power. Whether the Peckers can use this to their advantage will be a factor, however one feels a safe bet is Mallala in this one.

Hamley v Two Wells

Two Wells after three games now move to a 2-1 win loss ratio to start season 2009. This is a massive turn around from seven days ago as many had the Roosters earmarked for a tough year following their demoralising loss to Virginia. In the wake of the Virginia loss many thought the Roosters may have suffered

a massive confidence killer. Given they failed to kick a goal in the second half due to the atrocious weather conditions in their win against Balaklava in their season opener, this time last week you could have easily been thinking the Roosters could have had a question mark hanging over whether they had gone backwards rather than forwards since the end of last season. But after last week’s win against the Eagles, Two Wells were either a genuine finals contender from the start or a side that suffered a hiccup against the Rams or they had a good look in the mirror, did some soul searching this time last week and simply changed their mind set. If the latter is true this young group has character! With a win in this week’s match against Hamley Bridge it is highly possible that the Roosters could be 3-1 after this weekend and looking at having a great foundation to work on going forward in season 2009. Unfortunately Hamley Bridge strike the Roosters at a bad time. Had they been looking at meeting the Roosters a week ago the Bombers would have fancied their chances as they were seemingly rowing the same boat as Two Wells as both had been “rammed” in consecutive weeks. However such is the luck of Hamley they now face a side brimming with confidence after collecting a big scalp last week and keen to make the most of their chance to get early wins on the board. Hamley have an up side with a lot of players and their overall team performance seemingly improving each week. If the Bombers can get some quick goals on the board early and build some self-belief their confidence may grow and they may just push the Roosters to work hard for the two points. Last week’s win against HWE was just the response Rooster coach Steven Fitzgerald was looking for - now his young side must back it up with a win over the Bombers. Being 3-1 after four matches is a lot more attractive than 2-2 so his chargers will know what is on the line this week.

Tigers blow the Bombers away

In the final match of the weekend, United got the chocolates against a gallant Hamley Bridge side. Despite the margin being just two points at quarter time the Tigers’ exceptional second term was the one that blew Hamley Bridge out of the water as the Tigers headed towards the shed at half time with a 59 point lead. From then on the match resembled somewhat of a stalemate as both sides traded occasional goals in the third and final terms with the margin staying in the vicinity of 10 goals throughout. While a 10 goal defeat is nothing to write home about, the Bombers can take some confidence out if the fact they capped the margin and contained the Tigers for the remainder of the match. For United, Brett Sharman and Will Banton were exceptional – both taking many strong marks and giving the Tigers a seven goal return between them. Adrian Mills was again good, Brad Shimmin was noticeable in his first game

Positive start for olive levy

Collection for the Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s olive levy is officially underway and processors say the levyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adoption has so far been hiccup free. Last month, processors began collecting contributions of $4 dollars per tonne or a minimum of $1 per 250 kg from all olive growers to process their olive fruit into oil, table olives or other olive products. It is the first time growers have contributed towards the voluntary fund, which will go towards supporting projects in marketing, branding, promotion, production and bio-security activities. Anthony Papalia, sales manager, Bovalina Olive Oil Group, near Virginia, says while the Adelaide Plains busi-

growers is that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy to pay it, just as long as it goes to good use,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been receiving a few phone calls over the last couple of days

in regard to processing and the response has been great, which obviously helps make the collection process run more smoothly.â&#x20AC;? Mr Papalia is a strong supporter of the levy, and says that it is an exciting time for industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Overall I believe this is a big step forward for industry, it gives us the opportunity to help ourselves and become a competitive force in the market,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a long time coming and in the future I can definitely see the other states following our lead.â&#x20AC;?
