STORM FURY!

Storms and wind flattened a house frame, blew a road train from the road, lifted tiles from roofs and uprooted trees as wind gusts of more than 150km/h swept through Balaklava yesterday (Tuesday) morning.

CFS crews from Balaklava, Owen and Port Wakefield were called to help Balaklava residents deal with storm damage, clearing debris from trees, covering gaping holes in roofs, and removing trees fallen in yards and roads.

The damage was mostly restricted to a narrow path, sweeping through War Memorial Drive, Moody Estate, across Railway terrace and into the new Wattle Ridge housing estate.

In Wattle Ridge, a wooden house frame under construction collapsed under the strain of the wind, and in Railway terrace, a fence was flattened.

Tourism in Balaklava? Now there’s a challenge

S

OME readers could be the recipients of a questionnaire placed in letterboxes. It relates to tourism in Balaklava.

The questions come from Amy Gathercole, a Year 12 tourism student at Balaklava high school, who is investigating tourism in Balaklava as her major assignment in this important year of education.

Amy, I have to say that’s a tough call. Tourism in Balaklava? Not exactly one of the town’s strong points – but I admire your fortitude, optimism and resolution.

Here’s my answers to Amy in this open forum. o Question 1 – If you had visitors for the weekend, where would you take them?

Hmmm. Tough one to start with.

If the footy and netty was on at Ralli Park, I would take them along to sit in the car and toot the horn at each goal, though Balak has not been scoring too many of late.

It’s just a wonderful family environment and so countryfied. Yes, it happens in all towns - and it’s a great day out with friendly people.

We could try a cuppa at one of

MY VIEW

Terry Williams

EDITOR Editor@plainsproducer.com.au the cafes during the week. That’s always nice. But if my guests were to arrive on Saturday afternoon, then what to do? Go to the Clare Valley? We could visit the Royal or Terminus hotels for lunch or dinner and maybe take a tour of the town and nearby regions.

I would like to show them Werocata homestead and its woolshed.

I know, it’s a private home – but wouldn’t that be a tourism drawcard if it was to be opened up to visitors?

We could go to the Courthouse Gallery. Always interesting. And to Balaklava museum. Ditto.

Out to Whitwarta airfield for a ride in a glider – then take the back roads through the crops (explaining the colour difference between wheat and barley. You know I never get it right, so I won’t try again here).

We would arrive at Balaklava Golf Club, just in time to join the players at the 19th hole. If during daylight saving, we could even get in nine holes ourselves. Plus the 19th again.

If it was a Wednesday and we were in luck, we could then make a beeline for the racecourse. Then find a farmer. If it’s summer, try for a ride in a header. Awesome for city folk.

Back to Balak, for an amble around the Lions trail at Moody estate. A hidden gem of the town, it is used by only a few lucky wanderers (et petit caniche).

What else? Oh yes, there’s the Rocks. Everyone says that. But it’s all a bit sad now, isn’t it. Maybe visit Balaklava’s central park area as we say au revoir to our friends on their way home. Ooroo. Here’s your hat.

What’s your hurry! o Question 2 – To what extent

would you consider Balaklava a tourist destination? Rated from 1 - not at all, to 5 – it has great potential, I give it a 2. Maybe even a 1.

Not really anyone’s fault. But you can’t catch a whiting in Balaklava, as one does in Balavincent. o Question 3 – What sorts of things in Balaklava would you consider of interest for tourists. Number the top five in order of popularity, with 1 being most popular.

Here’s the list: Balaklava Museum, Balaklava Cup, Adelaide Plains Cup Festival, Federation wall, Apex/Botanic Park, The Rocks reserve, Balaklava Eisteddfod, Courthouse Gallery, golf course, Lions Walking Trail, historical significance, Beadwork studio and gallery, Balaklava Show.

I went for six. Remember, this relates to interest of TOURISTS; not locals. My choice: 1 – Balaklava Cup; 2 – Golf course; 3 – Balaklava Museum; 4 – Balaklava Eisteddfod, 5 – Courthouse Gallery; 6 – Lions Walking trail. o QUESTION 4 – In what ways does Balaklava currently have potential to become a popular tourist destination? (that is, festivals,

attractions, historical significance, sporting events).

Answer: Beef up the Adelaide Plains Cup festival to take it beyond an eclectic mix of craft’n’art and garage sales. Create a “Star of the North” Open golf tournament for Ambrose teams. Fun, funky and attractive to golfers and non-golfers from all over the State. Promote it through sponsorship of Country Press SA newspapers. Hold “open farm” days. These could be lucrative.

Or act as fundraisers. o QUESTION 5 – Do you think it is worth improving tourism in Balaklava? Answer: Yes, but support of business, traders and residents is vital, though unlikely. Apathy rules. o QUESTION 6 – How do you think the facilities in Balaklava could be improved for visitors?

Answer: Have more than one deli, a supermarket and two pubs open on weekends. Offer a weekend fuel service. Promote the town as “grey nomad” friendly, with good facilities and caravan park. Link Wakefield Regional Council’s website, or another promotional website, to other tourism-orientated websites.

n around 5.5 per cent expected:

Rates to rise in Mallala Council District Council of Mallala will need to raise an additional 6.5 per cent from rates in the coming financial year.

However, council has said it will attempt to keep the average rate increase at just over 5.5 per cent, with extra rates generated by growth in the area.

The minimum rate may also increase by $30 to $600, which will affect about 16 per cent of ratable properties.

Valuations across the council district have risen an average of 7.25 per cent.

The figures are outlined in council’s draft annual business plan for 2009-10, which was available for public comment for several weeks.

Aims for the year include the construction of a new boat ramp at Middle Beach; installing paths in cemeteries; a park and seating area at the corner of Wasleys and Redbanks roads, Mallala; seeking funding to develop a mall and market plaza at Two Wells; completing the Dublin entry feature design and apply for funding to construct entry features and internal township interpretive and direction signage; and constructing and installing two district map boards.

Also included is the survey and design of levee banks at Thompson Beach and remediation work; a survey of Parham and Webb Beach to determine flood risk and prepare a mitigation plan; take steps towards the construction of full Community Wastewater Management Schemes at Mallala and Two Wells and continue to maintain the CWMS at Middle Beach; construct about 20 crossovers in Lewiston; continue to develop integrated waste management programs; continue to develop illegal dumping surveillance programs; continue to provide a food waste and organic waste collection service and consider increasing the collection to properties close to towns; prepare several Development Plan Amendments; and carry out a heritage survey. In Dublin, the third stage of the streetscape project will begin.

Council depot construction will be included in both the 2009-10 year and the 2010-11 year for a total of $1.953 million. A copy of the draft annual business plan can be viewed at www. mallala.sa.gov.au

Our lucky TV winner Bowmans truck driver Pete Barton was half way between Adelaide and Perth when told he was the lucky winner of a brand new Samsung 42 inch HD plasma widescreen television, valued at $1699.

He was drawn as winner of the Plains Producer’s win a TV competition, adjudicated by Balaklava Electronic’s staff member Paul Chivell on Monday.

• Sponsor Jeff Karklins, manager of Balaklava Electronics,

is shown drawing the winning entry, watched by Paul and David Newsome, advertising manager for the Plains Producer.

Mr Barton’s lucky entry, gained through making a purchase from the Terminus Hotel, was one of more than 11,000 taken from the 18 participating stores.

Jeff Karklins said the competition gave people incentive to shop locally.

“It’s a quality prize and the

competition backed by the Plains Producer was an excellent way for businesses to reward customers for shopping locally.”

Andrew Manuel, manager of the Plains Producer, was thrilled with the amount of entries.

“This proves just how many people read their local newspaper and how they respond to clever marketing,” Andrew said.

“We would be happy to talk to our advertisers about other sales promotions.”

Questions on new Dev Board deal An agreement has been reached between the three levels of government on arrangements for the new regional consultative body, Regional Development Australia (RDA), but it has already been questioned if it will be as effective as the existing arrangements.

RDA will replace Regional Development Boards and Area Consultative Committees.

The RDA is aimed at bringing together the three levels of government to enhance growth and development of regional Australia, providing advice to governments about local regional issues.

Other roles include providing strategic input into Australian and South Australian government programs; providing information to regional communities on State and Federal government initiatives; helping coordinate regional planning and regional development initiatives; and establishing links and cooperative alliances as appropriate by closely working with other regional development organisations, neighbouring RDAs and local governments to promote regional development.

By Lauren Parker Yorke Regional Development Board chair and Mallala farmer, Ian O’Loan, said the current development board already covered these aims.

“I’m supportive of the three spheres of government coming into partnership, but I’m conscious of the fact our current regional development boards are delivering all and more than the role of Regional Development Australia.”

Mr O’Loan was also concerned there was no indication yet if the existing shopfronts would be retained.

“That is the strength of our current regional development boards,” Mr O’Loan said.

“My understanding is that this partnership is to enhance the existing operation, not reduce it.”

Mr O’Loan is meeting with former premier Rob Kerin tomorrow (Thursday) to discuss the progression of RDA. Mr Kerin is working with regional develop-

ment boards and other organisations involved through the transition process. Federal Parliamentary Secretary for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, Maxine McKew, said RDA SA would work across all three spheres of government to help ensure regional projects remained responsive to local communities’ needs.

“For the Rudd government, this is about getting the best local advice in a coordinated way,” she said.

State Minister for Regional Development, Paul Caica, said RDSA would put in place an agenda of renewal and opportunity for South Australia’s regions.

“Focusing the collective efforts of all spheres of government will help us to better align our priorities for the development of our regional communities and it will strengthen the effectiveness of those efforts,” Mr Caica said.

“The most important task of the new RDAs will be to work with all levels of government on the best way to build jobs and investment in their communities and meet the objectives

of the South Australian Strategic Plan.

LGA SA president Felicity-ann Lewis said she believed RDA would improve cooperation across all levels of government.

Seven regional RDAs and an RDAAdelaide advisory committee will be created.

A call for expressions of interest for RDA SA members, including chairs and deputy chairs, will be advertised in metropolitan and regional newspapers soon.

When it came to the future of existing staff of regional development boards, spokesperson for Paul Caica, Loine Sweeney, said the staff would initially be automatically transferred to the new RDA once an agreement had been reached in each region, and it would then be up to each RDA to determine its own staffing from that point.

Regional development boards have been given funding until the end of December.

Ms Sweeney said the level of resourcing to the regions was expected to be the same, so it is likely most staff would continue on within the new structure.

Balaklava battered by wild winds:

Storm havoc!

• From Page 1 A tree narrowly missed Gail Burnett’s house in Moody Estate’s Christopher street, while a tree also fell in the carpark of the doctors’ surgery on War Memorial Drive.

Several homes suffered damage to roofs and small and large branches littered streets, while fences were also flattened.

Large trees were uprooted, with one narrowly missing Railway terrace resident Glenys Olsen, who was lucky she hesitated before reversing her car from her garage.

Glenys said she paused when she heard the wind strengthening, and looked behind her to see a tree fallen across her path.

There were also reports of fallen trees on unsealed roads surrounding Balaklava.

CFS were called to dozens of incidents across the state, and local volunteers were busy clearing fallen trees at Hoyleton, Dublin, Tarlee and Balaklava, while CFS crews from Freeling, Kapunda and Two Wells were also called out because of severe weather.

One Stockpot resident said “it was like a mini tornado.”

About 5mm of rain had fallen in Balaklava by about noon Tuesday.

Balaklava resident Peter Robbins has his own wind speed meter, which recorded wind gusts of 199.9km/h.

However, he said the meter was only accurate to 150km/h so this could not be verified.

The nearest weather stations at Clare, Snowtown and Roseworthy recorded gusts of 76km/h, 96km/h and 89km/h respectively as the storm passed over.

A road train ploughed through the Port Wakefield Proof and Experimental Range fence after a wind gust caught the second trailer, causing the driver to lose control.

Police said the driver was not injured, and there was no damage to the road train, but another vehicle was needed to pull it from a salt pan.

The road was closed for 20 minutes.

Millions more for our schools Millions of dollars will be spent creating new science and language learning centres in local schools.

In Balaklava alone, more than $2.2 million will be spent through the latest round of economic stimulus funding.

Balaklava High School will receive $1.970 million for a new science centre as part of Federal government’s Building the Education Revolution package.

Also in Balaklava, a new language learning centre will be built at Horizon Christian School with the help of more than $301,000 funding.

Riverton and District High School will receive more than $1.206 million for a language centre. In Clare, the high school will receive more than $1.841 million for a science and language centre.

Both Balaklava High and Horizon have experienced a huge funding boost this year through both State and Federal government funding.

By Lauren Parker For Balaklava, Clare and Riverton high schools, the announcement comes on top of an announcement earlier this year of a $2.6 million funding injection for the schools to become TAFE Trade Training Centres.

Balaklava High School principal, Mark Healy, said the funding announcement was fantastic.

“This will certainly enrich the success we’ve had with the trade training centre,” he said.

Mr Healy said the projects at both Riverton, Balaklava and Clare high schools would work well with the trade training centres.

He was especially pleased to see all three schools being successful given the highly competitive nature of the funding program.

“It’s going to be an outstanding boom for the schools and students in this region,” he said.

“It’s a real credit to the State education sys-

Parents of Riverton and Balaklava students today cast their votes on whether the primary and high schools should be merged to form a reception to year 12 school at each of the towns.

Discussions began last year, and Riverton Primary School principal Max McLaren said parents at both the primary school and Riverton and District High School had been polled from the weekend through to today (Wednesday).

If parents vote in favour of the merger and it is also approved by State government, it will mean choosing between the two school

More than 80 entries across 10 award categories have been received for the annual Balco Balaklava Art Prize.

The winners will be announced this Sunday at 2pm in a vibrant and diverse exhibition.

The art prize each year attracts entries from across the state, from artists of all ages and mediums. The exhibition is on display at Balaklava Courthouse Gallery from Thursday, July 2 until August 23.

• SETTING up exhibits are curator Jo May, Peter Cox, Helen Durdin and Lenice Cox.

sites to determine where the new reception to year 12 school will be based.

“It will mean the closure of one site,” said Mr McLaren.

He said the decision was being hurried somewhat because of Federal government’s school funding programs, and there was still a way to go before a final decision was made.

“Even if the vote is in favour of a merger or amalgamation, it’s still not definite,” Mr McLaren said.

“The State government makes that call.

“There would be some fea-

sibility studies done, and if the community is not happy with them they can pull the pin on it at any time.”

Mr McLaren said the proposed amalgamation was an emotional issue for some parents.

In a similar situation at Balaklava, parents were to return their poll slips today (Wednesday) with scrutineers due at 4.30pm to count the votes.

As with the Riverton proposal, if parents vote in favour of the merger, the decision would then be with the State government.

The funding will cover 112 projects at 84 schools and 15 child care centres as part of the three-year $36 million School Pride program.

Balaklava Community Children’s Centre will receive $39,445 for an upgrade; Balaklava High School $12,350 for an underground services upgrade; Clare High School $46,500 for asbestos removal; Riverton and District High School $130,000 for a paved area upgrade; Saddleworth Primary School $107,000 for a paved areas upgrade; Snowtown Area School $15,000 for a paved areas upgrade; and Two Wells Community Children’s Centre $16,585 for an upgrade.

Horizon Christian School earlier secured a block grant for two new science laboratories, and has already purchased two new classrooms this year after an influx of 57 new students this year.

State Education Minister Jane Lomax-Smith welcomed the latest funding injection, which came just one day after State government announced thousands of dollars funding for local schools.

“Science, along with literacy and mathematics, is one of our State strategic areas of importance and it’s terrific to see this major injection of funds towards improving laboratories,” she said.

“Upgraded facilities will allow high schools to increase the profile of science and languages as subject choices for students.”

Police said the offenders would have needed a light truck or large trailer when removing the items from a home and shed near Stockport. Members of the public who notice anything suspicious are reminded to contact police immediately.

Port Wakefield • A young man was lucky to escape without injury after a candle caused a fire in his bedroom.

CFS, police and ambulance were alerted to the fire on Main Street, Owen, about 2.50am Sunday morning, and the blaze was quickly extinguished.

It is believed to have been caused by a burning candle falling.

About $5000 damage was caused to the rooms contents by the fire itself and water damage.

Police said the man was extremely lucky, and warned the public to be extremely careful when

using candles or fires and avoid the possibility of candles falling over or logs falling from the fireplace.

• Police are seeking a man in his early 20s who allegedly interfered with a vehicle parked in Walter street, Port Wakefield, last Friday morning.

The offender was disturbed by the owner of the car, who was in the vehicle at the time.

He fled with $4 change from the vehicle.

Police described the offender as a caucasian man in his early 20s, clean-shaven with shoulder-length brown hair. He was wearing a red shirt.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Port Wakefield Police on 8867 1030 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Mayor’s Diary Rising to challenge

I

T’S been a busy few days in local government.

For three days last week I was at the Australian Local Government Association (ALGA) National General Assembly in Canberra, getting home just in time to attend Wakefield Regional Council’s monthly meeting in Balaklava.

The ALGA conference was entitled “Rising to the Challenge” – and after three days of seminars and speakers, I can assure you there ARE challenges ahead in local government.

Learning from experience o The ALGA assembly focused on three of today’s popular topics; infrastructure, climate change and finance.

You might think those are fairly predictable, but we did cover new ground, hearing from a field of experts and, of course, learning from our own local government experiences. The three are linked, yet each has its own challenge for councils.

We heard 46 motions from councils on those categories, honed down from well over 100, where similarities were recognised.

Constitution planning o Council and Shires also received an update on progress regarding Constitutional reform, which we hope will recognise local government at a Federal level in Australia’s Constitution.

ALGA has engaged a leading expert on constitutional law, Professor George Williams and former Federal senator, Robert Ray, who will act as a consultant and advise how best to present the reforms to Federal and State governments and the community.

Ambitious target o Delegates were brought up to date on the Federal government’s communications policy and its aims for Broadband. The push continues to have 90 per cent of Australia’s homes connected by fibre optic cable ... but I would bet some residents with Wakefield Regional Council area will be connected via wireless or satellite.

Funding is budget bonus o Wakefield Regional Council’s $101,000 share of the Federal government’s Community Infrastructure Program (CIP) will help us continue to implement projects with our area.

As yet, council has not discussed how the money, which becomes available in September, will be spent. It will certainly be a hot topic when council meets next Wednesday, July 8, for its annual budget planning meeting. Council rates for the next year will be set at this meeting.

Dev Board talks continue o The ongoing saga of Regional Development Boards (RDBs) is getting close to final resolution after talks between governments across all levels.

I can report the boards will be funded until the end of this calendar year after agreement from State and Local Government stakeholders. There is concern at local government level about how certain transition costs will be deployed. Questions arise regarding how now defunct Federal Area Consultative Committees will be absorbed into the boards and who will pay. Staff contracts and selection of new board members will be addressed in the near future.

PM’s Country Taskforce o On Monday I attended a meeting in Clare of the Prime MInister’s Country Taskforce. Our local Federal MP for Wakefield, Nick Champion, is a member of the Taskforce. You will read more of this elsewhere in The Plains Producer.

Uniform strategy o Wakefield Regional Council office staff will soon be seen wearing national co-ordinated corporate uniforms. Council believes this will present an improved public image for our hardworking staff.

NEWS v District

$200,00 for Gawler river linear park investigation The Gawler River Open Space Strategy, which outlines the concept of a linear park stretching the entire length of the river, has received $200,000 funding.

The funds come from the Adelaide Mount Lofty Natural Resource Management Board.

Gawler River Flood Plain Management Authority developed the strategy.

Authority executive officer, Fred Pedler, said the strategy had two main objectives.

“One was to prepare the strategy, and the other was to undertake comprehensive assessments along the river and identify the priority problems,” he said.

The strategy now goes to councils to endorse, including District Council of Mallala and Playford City Council, where it will be decided if the strategy will be adopted and how it should be progressed.

“It is not the role of the Authority to start the implementation process,” Mr Pedler said.

“The Open Space Strategy is a local government responsibility.

“The councils need to look at the policy and say is this consistent with what we want to do?”

Mr Pedler said there had not yet been any public consultation, and this would likely be one of the first steps made by councils.

The existence of a strategy also allows councils to access the State government Metropolitan Open Space Fund.

Wakefield Regional Council

update

Rating system changes Wakefield Regional Council has reviewed its rating system, making changes to the way differential rates are calculated for vacant land.

Currently, the differential rates are calculated depending on land use, with 100 per cent for residential and other; commercial and industry at 150 per cent of residential and other; primary production at 90 per cent of residential and other; and vacant at 400 per cent of residential and other.

The rates for vacant land will be reduced to 250 per cent of the residential rate.

The vacant land use rate was originally 500 per cent of residential and other rate to encourage owners to build on the land rather than leave it vacant.

This was amended in 2005/06 because vacant land values rose at a greater rate than other land uses.

Rates exemption The property adjoining Balaklava Community Children’s Centre will be granted a 100 per cent rates rebate.

Council owns the property, which is currently leased to the Minister for Early Childhood Development for use by the children’s centre.

The general rates for the property, based on council’s 2008/09 differential rates, would have been $518.41.

Developments Forty-five new residential developments have been approved by council in the last year.

In total, 217 development applications were approved, including 112 extensions and 26 new industrial developments.

Last September, Development approvals peaked at a value of $11.9 million.

Total development value to date for 2008/09 is $30.47 million.

Council’s Development Assessment Panel approved three developments in the four times it has met since June 1, 2008.

These were a fertiliser depot at Brink-

worth, a broiler farm, and a non-complying land division.

A residence was refused.

Ralli Park Grandstand Councillors have shown their support for the repair of the Ralli Park grandstand.

Councillors received an engineers report and heard from Balaklava Area Committee chair, Terry Williams, before making the decision to “support in principle to retain the Ralli Park grandstand.”

This does not commit council to any funding provisions, but indicates they support the grandstand being retained and restored.

Staff to get new uniform Wakefield Regional Council has agreed to adopt a compulsory corporate uniform.

Currently, staff voluntarily wear the national uniform for Local Government, but recently, some staff indicated they would prefer to have a compulsory uniform to improve

consistency and create a coordinated professional image.

A staff uniform working party has investigated possibilities and surveyed staff.

Council estimates it will cost about $13,000 in the first year to provide uniforms for the 22 inside

staff (an increase of $9000 from the normal budgeted allowance of $4000).

Councillors supported the move at last week’s council meeting, agreeing to make the uniform compulsory.

The annual uniform allowance will be increased to make it possible.

NEWS v District Bald Hill Beach, Sandy Point and Pelican Bay under scrutiny:

Beaches report may turn the tide

By Lauren Parker

WHAT to do with garden waste? Balaklava residents Liz Wilds (left) and Lila Cross question council policy.

Green and clean not always easy So what should you do with your green waste? Wakefield Regional Council’s new waste and recycling collection will start next week and as residents get their head around the new service, questions are being asked about the collection of green waste.

The Plains Producer has been contacted by a number of residents concerned they can no longer use the weekly rubbish collection to dispose of their green waste.

Some are surprised to learn council’s stand on green waste has not changed with the introduction of the new system.

Wakefield Regional Council’s infrastructure services manager, Dave Hassett, says council prefers residents to utilise the transfer stations or to make other arrangements to dispose of, or compost household green waste as they have in the past.

“Green waste in landfill does create

By Karen Petney issues with space and there are also environmental and decomposition issues,” he said. Green waste at the transfer stations is processed into chippings and used at Everard Landfill Depot to revegetate over the utilised land fill cells. Landfill operations at Everard will be reviewed during the year to meet with the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) guidelines being introduced in July 2010.

Mr Hassett said before Council considered a green waste collection, it needed to see how the community settled on the new two bin recycling system.

“Council is not closed to the idea of introducing a green waste collection, however the introduction of a third bin (green waste) would mean an increase in pick up

and processing costs and hence an increase in the annual service charge,” he said.

Mr Hassett is encouraging residents to wait until the new recycling collection has been operating for a few months to then contact council to register interest in a green waste collection so it can investigate the demand from across the about 2300 weekly service collections currently picked up.

In the meantime, residents should consider other uses for green waste, such as composting for garden mulch, or organise a green waste transfer station run with friends.

Council cannot easily police what is placed into the new red lid bin (waste only) However some residents are claiming the new red lid bin may be the only alternative until a three bin system is considered by council.

Residential property jumps in value The value of the Wakefield Regional Council district has increased by more than $46 million this year, or 3.08 per cent.

Residential valuations increased by 9.84 per cent or $31,843,500 to a total of $355,594,000.

Primary production land values increased

by 1.09 per cent, from $1,080,840,840 to $1,092,653,340.

Industrial land increased in value by 4.7 per cent; commercial land increased in value by 1.03 per cent; and vacant land increased in value by 4.24 per cent. Capital valuations of residences in Port Wakefield have had the

biggest growth at 12.79 per cent, followed

by Lochiel at 11.80 per cent.

Next is Balaklava at 10.88 per cent followed by Blyth, 10.28 per cent; Owen, 9.38 per cent; Snowtown, 7.98 per cent; Brinkworth, 7.05 per cent; Hamley Bridge, 6.78 per cent; and other, 6.17 per cent.

A Coastal Assessment Report probing hazards and dangers of the local coastline has been approved for public consultation.

The draft report includes Bald Hill Beach, Sandy Point and Pelican Bay, all near Port Wakefield, with the aim of protecting important coastal habitats and improving coastal signage.

If the plan is approved, funding for signs will be sought through the Natural Resource Management (NRM) Board.

Prepared by NRM coastcare officer Deb Allen, the report was created to meet the requirements of the NRM Board’s coastal motor vehicle access management strategy with the objectives of reducing the impact of motor vehicles on the coastal environment, and to promote and protect the values of coastal habitats.

Wakefield Regional Council’s coastal boundary extends from the Department of Defence at Bald Hill through to the southern boundary of the Clinton Conservation Park.

Both Bald Hill Beach and Sandy Point are popular fishing and crabbing sites for locals, and assessors saw little impact of motor vehicles when they visited the sites.

It appeared vehicles were sticking to the main

tracks and not damaging vegetation.

But at Pelican Bay, which is accessed by a road leading from the swimming hole, motorcycles are causing problems.

While large boulders prevent larger vehicles leaving the road, several motorbike tracks lead both north and south into the saltmarsh, causing extensive damage to the vegetation and soil.

However, camping and rubbish are not a problem.

In the assessment report, it was recommended additional boulders be placed at the end of the track to Pelican Bay to reduce motorbike access.

All three sites were deemed to have high conservation value.

On the road to Bald Hill and Sandy Point, the report suggested signs warning drivers about changing track conditions due to high tides, as well as information to advise that while vehicles were permitted, camping and fires were prohibited, and dogs should be kept on a leash.

At Pelican Bay, it was suggested signs should advise no vehicles, motorbikes, camping or fires were allowed beyond the end of the current track.

The Draft Coastal Assessment Report will now be available for public consultation.

Racing to put career on course

Students from Balaklava High School completed a special course introducing them to the racing industry recently.

Certificate One in Thoroughbred Racing was facilitated by Louise Milton from Lindsay Park racing and funded by Barossa and Light Futures. The course was held at Balaklava Racing Club, and some students will now progress to study certificate two.

Students learned horse grooming, saddling, marshalling, and helping on race day.

Shearing clicks!

Six students from Balaklava high school participated in an “Introduction to Shearing” recently.

Mitchell Gregory, Jamie Caines, Nick Jericho, Tim Shepherd, Sam van Kleef and Jordan Wilson worked with qualified shearing instructor, Daryl Andriske.

All aspects of the industry were discussed from its history, to safety, fitness and nutrition, career paths, and shearing and crutching techniques.

Wool classing and clip preparation

were also covered in the hands-on day. All the students contributed to the shearing of the school’s Merino and Dohne ewes, and gained real insight into this demanding career.

Two agriculture classes also watched the sessions.

Students appreciated the expertise of Daryl, who is an excellent instructor.

Port Wakefield Primary School – 1851

With the establishment of townships, the early residents usually had two main priorities apart from earning an income - the establishment of a church and the education of their children. Port Wakefield was no different, its first schools being established soon after the Education Act of 1851 was enacted.

Port Wakefield’s history book tells us that the first school was “kept by a Mrs Phillpot .... a small weatherboard building on the southern bank of the river about 400 metres from the bridge on the Kadina road ....another school was conducted by a Mr WS Graves.... then in 1866, Miss A Crossland took classes in a small one-roomed school....subsidised by the Central Board of Education, it was the forerunner of the present school.”

Pupil attendance was not compulsory in those days, and fees were charged, despite subsidies

Heritage Highlights

by Norma Schopp

from the government, but the subsidy was limited to 200 pounds per school, irrespective of the number of students; it barely covered the school’s costs and was not sufficient to maintain the teacher as well.

School attendance became compulsory for 7-13 year olds after the Education Act of 1875 was passed and, as a result of the new rules, Port Wakefield received a new school and residence. The school had its first visit by an Inspector in 1878, when there were 90 students in five classes (from junior to fourth class). Inspector Hosking reported

that “although the results are not very satisfactory the progress made is good....children were so very deficient in all subjects when the present school was opened, that it is no wonder that they are not more advanced.” This was in the era when the older boys were expected to contribute to the economy of the family farm or business, rather than go to school, so it was no surprise that, at the time of the inspector’s visit in 1878, most of the students were under 11.

Port Wakefield School children - 1912.

Choosing a pet bird Birds make wonderful pets. They are cheerful and friendly and the wide variety of shapes, colours and sizes means that you are sure to find one that will comfortably perch in your life.

If you have only a small area for your bird or live in a townhouse or a apartment, keep in mind the smaller breeds such as budgies, finches, canaries and lovebirds which do not require large aviaries. Smaller birds can also be easier to handle and are normally quieter.

Birds such as cockatoos and parrots, while excellent talkers, are also well known for their noisy squawking and are only suitable for people who do not have close neighbours. Many councils, in fact, prohibit the keeping of larger parrots due to their noise.

If you are looking for a bird that can talk, male budgies and cockatiels are a good choice. While male canaries cost almost double that of female canaries, they will reward you with their pretty song.

When considering what bird to choose you also need to think about their lifespan. Budgies may only live for five to 15 years but other birds such as parrots

Attitudes made the teacher’s job particularly difficult - in 1880 there were 123 students enrolled but only 57 “warranted promotion to a higher class.”

In 1881, a Catholic convent school was begun by the Sisters of St Joseph but, according to the town history book, “it is doubtful that learning was pursued with any more zeal in this school.”

Thankfully, times have changed and education now has a much higher profile - for most people!

may live to 50 years and cockatoos up to 100!

All birds love space so buy the largest cage you can afford, making sure that they can fully extend their wings.

Birds are also social so it’s important that they have company, either human or bird. A lonely bird will often develop behavioural problems like feather picking or never-ending screeching which will distress both you and your neighbours.

Some birds such as the native lorikeet require specialised diets which can be expensive and time consuming to prepare. Other birds are happy with commercial seed mixes and fruit/vegetable treats which are easy to prepare.

When purchasing a bird from a breeder or store, make sure that the cages are clean and the birds have tight, clean and glossy feathers. Some pet stores hand-rear birds that grow into tame, easy to handle pets that are happy to come out of their cages. Make sure that any bird is fully weaned before taking it home.

Newly purchased birds should be kept away from other birds for several weeks until you are sure they aren’t carrying a disease.

Did God say?

Three things God may be blamed for that he didn’t say!

First, he didn’t guarantee that our conscience is sufficient to guide us through life.

It’s not only criminals who ignore their own conscience. All of us need nothing less than God’s presence in our life to help us live as he intended.

Second, God didn’t say we should get revenge of “an eye for an eye” (Leviticus 24.20). What is legislated for here, where retribution is in view, is a limit to damages.

God knew too well the need to put restraints on humanity’s angry desire for brutal retaliation.

And despite modern public anger against offenders, and strident calls for heavy-handed justice, maximum penalties are rarely handed out by our magistrates and judges.

Third, God doesn’t say that Christians shouldn’t

Good News with Ken Packer, L.Th. judge. Jesus said, “Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”

John 7.24.

His witty saying (Matthew 7.1) “Judge not, that you be not judged” conjures up an imaginary scenario where all judgment lapses! He uses this exaggeration to illustrate that judgment cannot be avoided. Later in this same Bible chapter, therefore, he explains how wisdom should be used in our judgment of others.

In brief How can we know (or judge) if people are genuine or not? Jesus said, “You will know them by their fruits” Matthew 7.16, 20.

NEWS v District

Watchman bridge to get an upgrade

OBITUARY > Joan Kennett

Joan’s passion was family and the community

Aproposed program for capital works and plant replacement has been presented to Wakefield regional Council for consideration in the 2009/10 budget.

Included is the construction of 52 km of category two and three roads and the reseal of deteriorated seals.

Watchman Road Bridge is also included in the program, with the resealing of the existing pavement and the provision of guard railing to replace the substandard fencing on the northern end of the bridge.

And despite council being unsuccessful in a grant application to start improvements of Saints-Whitwarta road, infrastructure and engineering services manager, Dave Hassett, proposes to commit to the project by installing culverts and resurfacing a portion of the road to allow access across the Wake-

The Blyth community was deeply saddened by the sudden death of former Wakefield Regional Council councillor, Joan Kennett (nee Grace) on June 7.

She was first elected as a ward councillor for the former District Council of Blyth-Snowtown in 1987, and continued to represent her community for 19 years.

Born February 2, 1938 to Herbert and Agnes Grace at Barinia, Joan was one of seven children growing up in the Clare district.

At 15 she started a hairdressing apprenticeship.

She enjoyed attending local dances, where she met her much loved husband, Barry.

They married at Clare Uniting Church on May 23, 1959 then established the family farm at Bowillia and raised three children.

Joan helped to establish a successful dairy, milking 60 cows. Feeding calves by hand, bottle feeding lambs, feeding pigs and chickens, collecting eggs and tending children kept her busy.

A loving and caring mother of Julie, Christine and Steven, she was involved in Blyth School Parents and Friends and supported many school fundraisers, picnics and sports days.

Joan was a Sunday school teacher and Elder of Blyth Uniting Church.

She enjoyed watching her children play sport and was president of Blyth football auxiliary canteen.

She loved golf, winning 11 ladies championships. and served as president for five years and committee member for many more.

Joan performed in the local “Bull and Bush” Blyth Institute Productions.

She was the adored grandmother of nine grandchildren and was involved in their lives, baby sitting, attending school assemblies, concerts and deb balls.

In 2004 Joan received a service award in recognition of 20 years as a volunteer with Clare St John.

Blyth Meals on Wheels honoured her with life membership after 30 years of service in 2007.

She was chair of the Blyth Progress Association and Weed Board and a member of the Blyth Development Board.

As a founding committee member Joan was instrumental in getting the Burkeinindi Aged Units built.

Her passion and commitment to the district was demonstrated through her involvement with council.

Council chief executive officer, Phil Barry, said Joan “always tried her best and always sought a win/win situation between council operations and her constituents and ratepayers.”

“She was caring and a ‘doer’,” Mr Barry said.

“She was always highly respected by council staff for her genuine interest and non-political motives.”

Joan retired in 2006 to spend more time with her family. Joan and Barry had recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary.

A tireless community worker and much loved and respected woman cherished by friends and family, she will be sadly missed.

SPECIAL FEATURE v Home & Garden

Plains Producer, Wednesday July 1, 2009

The silent house killer “Salt damp” is an expression that describes damage in buildings caused by the destructive action of moisture and salts The problems range from tell-tale signs, such as fretting mortar, bubbling paint and plaster through to serious decomposition of the wall materials.

The main cause of salt damp in walls is rising damp, which develops because the damp-proof-course (DPC) in the wall is ineffective and allows moisture from the ground to soak upwards into the porous masonry wall materials by capillary action, just like oil into a wick.

The soil moisture in South Australia is usually high in salts, consequently rising damp will aggravate the problem by progressively increasing the salt content in the walls.

If the walls have been sealed, the damp will climb higher and higher up the wall, up to the level that it can evaporate.

CAUSE OF DAMAGE

Salt damp damage occurs in two principal ways.

First, the presence of damp causes some materials to deteriorate. For

down in layers and falls off. Some of the salts cause a chemical reaction that also destroys the internal structure of the masonry.

Salt damp should not be ignored

PREVENTION

example, plaster will soften, paint peels, steel reinforcing and nails will rust and timber will rot.

There will be unhealthy mould and a general slow decomposition and smells. Damp conditions also encourage insect pests such as termites.

Second, the presence of salts in the damp causes a microscopic attack on the masonry materials themselves.

The salts crystallise as the moisture evaporates, usually just beneath the surface, up to the “tide-mark” of the damp.

The enormous pressure created by individual salt crystals growing within the pores will physically break down the matrix of masonry surrounding each salt crystal.

In due course the process repeats itself, perhaps several cycles each year. Eventually, the masonry breaks

Improve site drainage and landscaping to deflect rainwater and underground water away from the building, particularly the walls.

Eliminate obvious deficiencies in the design or construction of the building and surrounds, to stop water ponding on or near the walls.

Improve under-floor ventilation, if possible. This will reduce the moisture reaching the walls.

Establish good maintenance and housekeeping.

Fix the roof, leaking pipes and drains. Why let unnecessary moisture enter the walls?

Remove coatings and membranes that prevent evaporation from the walls. Let nature reduce the moisture load in the walls.

However, these measures will not eliminate well-established rising damp that has resulted from an ineffective damp-course.

• SOURCE of information: www.saltdamp.com.au

SALT damp deterioration is very evident at the old council chambers, Port Wakefield.

Two options to remove problem If you have rising damp, the only positive way to stop it is to install a new damp-course. There are two effective options to do this: UNDERSETTING requires demolition of the salt damp affected masonry and replacement with new, physically building in a new plastic sheet membrane damp-course at the base of each wall. This is done in small sections, to minimise the extent of demolition at any one time, to avoid dangerous structural conditions. The

advantage of undersetting is the worst of the damaged and salt-saturated wall materials can be removed and replaced with sound materials.

SILICONE DAMP-COURSE is a cheaper and less disruptive method to install the damp-course. Holes are drilled into the existing wall materials and gravity feed siloxane damp proofing liquid into the holes. The liquid soaks in and cures to create a layer of water-repellent silicone plastic within the masonry itself.

‘bridging’ the barrier and need to be part of the annual termite maintenance inspection for this reason.

Even timber stored near the home or stacked against the external walls can present a potential problem and renovators should endeavour to keep stored items clear of their homes and away from soil contact.”

Inside the home, caution must be taken when undertaking any renovations that penetrate through flooring into the soil areas, such as cutting of concrete. These can pose a termite risk as the concrete slab generally acts as a physical termite barrier and all plumbing penetrations

should have protection.

“The unfortunate reality is that so many termite problems could be prevented by home owners acting more cautiously, being aware of termite risks and seeking advice ahead of renovations.”

It is vital for homeowners to have qualified technicians not only install termite barriers but also have them conduct regular inspections and maintenance programs, especially during and after renovations.

The CSIRO and Australian Standards recommends termite inspections are conducted at least once a year in cooler areas and twice a year in warmer areas.

Winter brings fire hazard

“Homeowners should also be mindful of local regulations requiring weep holes in brick work to be visible and clear of garden beds or vegetation as Subterranean Termites can use weep holes to gain entry to the home,” he said.

“When renovating, it also pays to be on high alert for any cracks or holes in bricks and walls.

“Before laying concrete paths and driveways beside external walls, thought needs to be given to how the soil underneath can be accessed for treatment if a future termite problem arises.

“In most cases, the concrete will need to be drilled or cut. Consulting a qualified technician before pouring concrete against external walls is strongly recommended.

DO-it-yourself home renovation has been identified as one of the major factors in the breach of termite barriers.

This is because home owners don’t realise sometimes the simplest home adjustments can breach the termite barrier, opening the door to termites.

The value the renovation adds to your home could then be quickly eroded by the damage caused by termites.

Termite chemical barriers use liquid termiticides to provide a replenishable force field around the property. Treated soil barriers impede concealed access by subterranean termites into a property.

Amalgamated Pest Control Adelaide manager, Phil Mellor says the installation of new paving, garden beds against external walls, patios and car ports could disturb existing barriers within the soil around the perimeter of the home.

Family recently escaped a house fire caused by a lounge suite being left too close to a gas heater flue (vent) in a carport.

The Metropolitan Fire Service (MFS) said the blaze left the Adelaide family of three in hospital with injuries and a $250,000 damage bill MFS Community Safety district officer, Allan Foster, says the fire sends a strong message to all South Australians to take heed of winter home fire safety messages.

“In the colder months the MFS tends to see an increase of house fires, property loss, injuries and deaths. That’s why the public needs to be vigilant with home heating.

“In this case, a lounge suite stored in a carport was situated too close to a gas heater flue (vent). Radiant heat ignited the lounge and caused the fire to spread quickly to the roof of the home,” Mr Foster says.

“This incident is a prime example of the importance of Home Fire Escape Plans,” Mr Foster said.

Home safety tips include: • Heating equipment must be installed and maintained by a qualified tradesperson, in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Choose portable electric heaters with automatic safety switches that turn the heater off if it’s tipped over.

• Keep heaters well clear from any items that might burn.

Clearance from clothes, bedding, furniture, curtains, and other combustibles should be two metres. Two giant, adult steps is a good rule of thumb.

• Children and pets must be supervised when heaters are in use and always use a fire screen in front of open fires.

• Flues and chimneys should be cleaned once a year to prevent a build up of flammable material and ensure the fire burns properly.

• Use only approved fuel in liquid-fuelled heaters.

Seasons under microscope

A new approach to Australian Government employment services

Students at Snowtown area school have been learning about the seasons in science classes.

Reception and year 1 students planted broadbeans, one to a pot, which were mostly kept in the classroom.

Beans were also planted in the Ag plot with Mr Magnusson and the year 5 and 6 students.

A bean grown by Sam Cummins (pictured) was first to sprout and it quickly became quite tall.

Most of the seeds have begun to grow in the pots, but all the beans planted in the garden are growing very well.

The growth of the beans in the classroom, the Ag plot and one other pot, which had been left in darkness in a cupboard.

Forty-nine different leaves were examined and put into skinny, juicy, food and smelly groups.

Combined effort on landscaping Snowtown residents and students will join forces to revegetate a small area near the wind turbine blade display.

The group plans to plant up to 300 short shrubs and bushes, selecting varieties carefully so the turbine itself is not screened from view for those on passenger trains.

An area about 60 metres by 60 metres will be landscaped and replanted on Friday.

Lights switched on • Two new light tow-

ers are in place at the Snowtown oval, and were switched on for the first time last Friday.

The towers, on the eastern side of the oval, were funded by the football club with support from Centenary Park.

As well as aiding with training, the lights are essential for safe landing of emergency helicopters.

The lights will now be able to be turned on simultaneously with a key.

Peckers keep finals hopes alive A Grade

By ‘Hen Peckered’ The Peckers kept their slim finals chances alive this time accounting for fellow finals aspirant United Tigers to the tune of 46 points in an entertaining game of hard pressure football.

The difference between the teams was the ability of the Peckers defence to shut down the Tigers key forwards, most of their goals coming from their mid-field and small crumbing forwards.

The first quarter opened with both teams attacking the ball hard. Some good work by Ben Catford allowing Vinny Taylor to kick the game’s first goal. Some loose checking allowed Brett Sharman an uncontested mark and goal to get theTigers on the board.

It was goal for goal when Jonathon Evans 55-metre goal was answered by Adrian Mills who received the ball after being involved in the centre clearance.

The Peckers premier ruckman Hayden Walker was having a good contest with William Banton, with the Peckers’ big man gaining a lot of the taps although not all being grabbed by his team-mates.

The game was tight with clear possessions hard-won.

Balaklava 19-10 (124) d United 11-12 (78)

Jonathon Brice’s strong over head mark rewarded with a goal. Not to be outdone, Matt East’s brilliant individual effort, avoiding several tackles, replied for the Tigers. United’s coach John Ellis brought on his second ruckman, recognising the dominance of Hayden Walker and Peckers height advantage.

However, two late goals to the Peckers gave them the edge in an even quarter of football.

Balaklava 5-3, United 3-1.

A good start for the Peckers, the ever dangerous Brady Scott goaling, the Peckers with slight ascendancy.

Areal arm wrestle ensued, finally Todd McPharlin gave his side a four goal lead, goaling from an excellent snap at the 10 minute mark.

Sam McArdle snared a lucky mark, but his set shot missed from close range but fortunately Glen Graham made amends to give his side a much needed goal at the 15

minute mark. William Banton’s height was proving effective resting up forward for the Tigers. His first mark lifted the Tigers’ spirits but he missed a sitter, but another pack mark shortly after allowed him to make amends. The Tigers had clawed their way back into the game.

However, as in the first quarter, two late goals to the Peckers again gave the home side the edge at half time, the second one to Todd McPharlin whose tackle on Mark Pym seemed unfair after his lone effort to try and clear the ball.

Balaklava 9-6, United 5-4.

The third quarter continued in the same vein as the first half, a real arm wrestler with the Peckers holding the advantage. Again it was goal for goal with goals to the Peckers answered by the Tigers. The game was becoming very physical as players continued to give their all, no easy possessions the

norm. A highlight of the quarter was the tackling, one by the Tiger’s Braydon Jones on Brady Scott to stop a certain goal – inspirational. The other was by Jed Rowland whose individual game was brilliant leading by example in the Peckers defence.

Again the Peckers finished off the quarter the better opening up a six goal lead by three quarter time with the Tigers trying desperately to hang on.

Balaklava 13-7, United 7-7.

Any thoughts of a Tiger victory were extinguished in the first four minutes, goals to Ben Catford and Benny Lamond (two goals) giving the Pecker supporters and players great joy.

Pecker Paul McLean was dominate in the centre all day, along with Ben Catford who continues to amaze with his evasive skills. The Peckers’ defence completely shut down the Tigers key forwards, who missed the skills of Michael Davey, a late withdrawal from the selected side.

Luke Evans’ first game back after a long break was effective, allowing Brett Sharman only one goal. David Yates also shut down Sam McArdle to only a handful of possessions and no goals.

Jed Rowland continues to amaze for someone so inexperienced, his rebound from defence very efficient.

Reserves

KERRY Michalanney, Balaklava closes in on Tiger Travis Opitz as he prepares to get a kick away during the reserves game.

By Pecked Out United were the first to attack with a shot at goal in the first minute.

A miss from a set shot let Balaklava off the hook early, and it took a few misses from United until John Mason goaled on the run to get them on the board. United’s Kevin Jenkin on a wing was creating plenty of run early into their forward lines with some good long kicks.

Travis Opitz for United was using his experience around the packs to good effect setting up a lot of plays with good accurate handballing.

With United having a lot of the football for the quarter it took a strong mark from Balaklava’s Dylan Sellar who then goaled truly to try to fire up his side.

TIGER Jared East gives chase to Pecker Kane Ruiz during the A grade game.

Balaklava’s Justin Walker took a strong mark on the last line of defence to stop another United attack at goal.

With United wasting a lot of opportunities in front of goal, it was Dylan Carter with a major right on the siren to give them a slight lead going into the second quarter.

Daniel Goodenough showed good pace for United from the opening bounce, keeping up great attack at the football – especially around the ballups.

With John Mason pushing through the centre of the ground, Balaklava’s defence was under extreme pressure.

Halfway through the quarter, Balaklava’s young onballers in Jared Cmrlec and Aaron Williams started to gain confidence, and along with Daniel Tezacker presenting well across their half forward

Peckers establish lead early to run out winners over United Balaklava 8-9 (57) defeated United 4-1 (25) senior colts

Balaklava hosted third placed United, the Peckers with several players out through injury and unavailability and looking to keep there unbeaten record in tack.

The first quarter started in damp conditions, the Peckers soon setting the tone of the match, their attack on the football outstanding. They soon opened up a five goal lead thanks to some straight kicking. A highlight of the quarter being a one handed mark to Jack Jenner and a brilliant ‘high flyer’ mark by Luke Guy, both players playing a major part in their teams dominance. Balaklava 5-0, United 0-1.

The second quarter started in unusual fashion, the umpires, after giving several warnings, deciding to start the game as both teams broke their huddles.

With United having the advantage of being closest at the centre bounce, they were first to the ball and able to move it forward in time to score their first goal of the game.

This spurred the Tigers on, showing more endeavour, the strength of John Crosbie giving him a goal and some poor checking allowing Jack Currann to mark a miskick to score his side’s third goal. Jake Hurrell on his wing was giving his side drive, United looked like closing in on the Peckers. However, Jason McPharlin and the hard working Brayden Koch took advantage of some good ruckwork by Jack Jenner to soon re-establish their sides quarter time lead by half time.

Balaklava 9-0, United 3-5.

The third quarter saw the Peckers with some brilliant running team football, kicking six goals, winning all centre clearances. Frustration for the Tigers showed with Lachlan Bentley being sent off for the remainder of the match for striking. Some good work by John Crosbie did eventually curb the influence of the Peckers’ mid-field, Ross Sharer also playing his best quarter in ruck to help the Tigers snare two goals back.

Balaklava 15-1, United 5-6.

Junior Colts

By Mercy-fool Balaklava started well in the first quarter, with goals to Caleb McPharlin, Ben Heaslip (in his first game for the season) and Corey Karpany, whilst United could only manage the one major through Corey Lee-Chapman.

This was mainly due to Tate Michael providing plenty of run on the ball and good ruck work and overhead marking from Callum Michael.

James Bugera was good for the Tigers, playing loose in defence and Adam McArdle picked up a few good touches as well for the visitors.

Balaklava 3-3, United 1-1.

It was more of the same in the second term, with Karpany adding another major and Jordan Taylor also adding one. Bugeja, who did not play as a loose man in defence this quarter, showed plenty of resistance again for United, as did Claudia Hunter

across half back. Despite this good defensive work, the Tiger cubs were not able to add to their quarter time score. Callum Michael again controlled the ruck in the centre and around the ground and cousin Tate showed plenty of dash again for the Peckers.

Balaklava 5-6, United 1-1.

Although the game had started to open up for Balaklava by half time, things did even up a little in the third with the Peckers only kicking one (Taylor added his second) to the Tigers two. William Bedell and Harry Hosking kicked these two, which narrowed the lead slightly from 30 points back to 25. Bugera was again good for the visitors, whilst again playing loose in defence and the diminutive yet determined Riley Curnow was also good. James Speissegger came into the game more for Balaklava, as did Josh Butterfield across half back and on the ball.

Balaklava 6-8, United 3-1.

The last quarter was similar to the second, being tightly contested, but Balaklava ran the game out well and added two majors – Karpany kicking his third and young Charlie Arbon kicking a great snap. To United’s credit they never gave up, with Blake Fuller kicking their only goal. Adam McArdle was again influential around the ground and Bugeja finished off a very good game. Meanwhile for Balaklava, Bradey Krieg had a great last quarter rebounding plenty of United’s attacks on the last line of defence as he had done in the second half and Harrison Veitch ran the game out well, with his best game for the year being a four quarter effort on the ball

line, started to get a more consistent game going. With two goals to both sides for the quarter, it was still anyone’s game at half time.

United’s J.Mason kicked a good set shot goal in the first few minutes of the third quarter – however following this, Balaklava’s younger on-baller brigade along with experienced Kerry Michalanney really got some more bite around the packs.

With accurate longer kicking into their forward lines, Balaklava’s Dylan Sellar and Daniel Tezacker were making full use of a less crowded forward line.

Even with some missed shots at goal, Balaklava at the end of the quarter, were playing a much better brand of football.

United at the end of the quarter were looking somewhat flat-footed with a lot less run around the packs.

Balaklava were continuing where they left off in the last quarter, with some accurate foot passing into the forwards in Sellar and Wright, who were providing some good strong leads.

Oren Hearnden, Balaklava was starting to prove a real handful for United in the centre, and with his quick pace and long left foot kicking, set up many attacks across half forward.

Any attacks by United into their forward lines were closed down pretty quickly

by Balaklava’s defence, and with the tall Justin Walker marking strongly at times, any hope of a United comeback was quickly dashed.

Uniteds John Mason was still trying hard to provide some run right to the end, however Balaklava ran out comfortable winners in the end, despite a hard fought and tight first half.

Magpies show Eagles who rules the skies A grade

The much anticipated clash of the round between Mallala and the Eagles turned out to be the fizzer of the round, with Mallala running out easy 70-point winners.

Clashes between these two teams in recent years have usually been close games.

That mould was well and truly broken with this result.

Leading A grade goal kicker Sam Jericho was a notable absentee from the Eagles side, along with Shaun Price. Gun senior colt Dallas Hill suited up for his second match of the day, coming off the interchange bench. Mallala was minus the services of Brad Griffiths – Matt Saunders getting a run in the A’s.

Mallala got off to a flier.

Straight into attack, and doing virtually all the attacking in the first term. Also making life difficult for the Eagles was the relative accuracy from the Magpie forwards. Up the other end of the ground the Eagles forwards faced enormous pressure. Mallala defenders were forcing Eagle errors, and with the errors came inaccuracy, further compounding the visitors’ woes. A one goal return from the Eagles for the first quarter already had them behind the eight ball. Five first term goals from the home side giving them a handy near four goal quarter time buffer.

One of the few sour notes for Mallala was when Joel Montgomerie went off with a calf injury, likely to miss at least one match. But not even the Montgomerie injury could halt the Mallala charge, Jason Earl in a first half that was simply unbeatable. Brad Hardie, one of the most underrated players in the league, continued to display his overhead ability and good ball skills. Liam Whitwell week after week continues to make courage a word that will always be associated

Mallala 16-9 (105) d H W Eagles 4-11 (35)

with him. The Eagle to have most impact on the game was Shaun Light. For nearly half the game he did the most to ensure the visitors remained competitive. But even the big fellow eventually got worn down, the three pronged attack of Andrew Vlassco, Joe Danis, andAngus Bruggeman proving too much over the four quarters. Vlassco continues to impress against taller opponents.

Any faint hope of an Eagles victory went out the window in the third quarter.

Another solid term from the home side that as was the case in the first quarter, kept the visitors to only one major. The Eagles scored shots severely restricted by the potent Mallala defence.

Robert Montgomery was a stand out across half back, mopping up everything that came his way and seeing off numerous opponents in the process. Nothing the Eagles could do had any impact on his dominance on the day.

David Cawrse at full back never made a mistake all day, another Magpie to apply the pressure over all four quarters. James Wildbore out of a back pocket another that was sensational, nearly making it a family double for best on ground honours with brother Jonno getting the nod in the reserves. Robert Montgomery, James Wildbore, and David Cawrse, all defenders, featured in Mallala’s best players. But it wasn’t only the defenders that kept Mallala well in front. Brian Montgomery and Daniel Feeley both ended up with three goals. Ryan Montgomerie in his second

game back from injury is quickly returning to his best, and along with Brad Hardie was a multiple goal kicker.

Throw in Matt Saunders who played well all match, Joe Danis, Jack Chapman, Jason Earl, and Andrew Vlassco all as goal kickers, and you have a winning score.

The last quarter became a formality, Mallala adding a further four goals, the Eagles only kicking three behinds. A disappointing end to a disappointing day for the Eagles.

One goal in the first quarter and one in the second half was never going to be enough to win against the ladder leaders.

The two goals from livewire forward Daniel Thomas in the second quarter were one of the few things the Eagles supporters had to smile about.

Another would have been Dallas Hill kicking a goal in the A grade to follow on from his six in Senior Colts. A player with a big future.

The Eagles had as their best Shaun Light, Shane Braham, Ryan Reid, Matthew Higgs, Dustin Guthberg and Paul Chivell. There is no doubt the Eagles badly missed Sam Jericho at full forward and the other non-starters equally so.

Just when the Eagles were starting to look dangerous again, this comprehensive defeat has set them back on their heels. Instead of eyeing off second place, the Eagles, while still in the four, are now only one game from second last with both United and Balaklava breathing down their neck.

Mallala restored their pride and are looking forward to the clash against Virginia.

Second placed Mallala gave bottom placed HWE a football lesson in their reserves grade clash.

Following a slow, inaccurate first quarter, Mallala piled on the pressure for the remainder of the game running out 75 point winners.

With the even sprinkling of talent that Mallala has at its disposal, it was always going to be a tall order for the Eagles. Inaccuracy let the Eagles off the hook in the first quarter, Jonno Wildbore making a statement to selectors after missing out on the A grade. James Barr and Brett Start set up play from the midfield. It wasn’t long before Derek Tiller was in the thick of things up forward and was destined to have a major impact on the final result.

The Eagles were barely hanging in there at half time, 25 points in arrears, but their situation only deteriorated from then on. Derek Tiller became the dominant forward, Reece Kerr and Brad Thomas starting to exert their play making abilities. Ryan McGannon enjoyed a couple of runs up the ground to kick two goals. Mallala were starting to completely dominate the Eagles, and continued in this manner until the final siren. A six-goal-to-one last quarter was a percentage booster for Mallala, the Eagles remaining firmly anchored to the bottom of the table.

Jonno Wildbore was sensational for Mallala, was capably backed up by James Barr, Brett Start, Reece Kerr, and Brad Thomas. Derek Tiller ended the day with six goals and gave the Eagles defence the run around. Ryan McGannon, Jonno Wildbore, Daniel Jennings, and Brett Start all multiple goal kickers for Mallala.

The Eagles had Brad Higgs as their best in a side that struggled most of the day. Mitchell McKay, Ben Manners, Sam McCullum, Paul Catalano, and Michael Curnow all tried their hardest on what was never going to be an easy day for them. Ben Olarenshaw the only multiple goal scorer for the Eagles.

Mallala remain comfortably in second place.

Senior Colts

After a slow start to the season, the HummocksWatchman Eagles have hit top gear recording an easy 49 point win over Mallala. The game was almost over at quarter time when the Eagles had broken away to a 25 point lead. To their credit, Mallala were

The visitors were still a comfortable 23 points in front at half time.

The Eagles virtually guaranteed themselves victory with an impressive third term effort. Five goals to two meant Mallala were going to require a miracle to win from the third term 43 point deficit. It didn’t happen – the Eagles increased their lead to win by 49 points.

Dallas Hill with six goals and Shane McGuiness with four were the main scoreboard destroyers for the Eagles. Hills’ six majors kept him right on the pace to be the league’s leading goal kicker in senior colts. Mitchell Nicholls was best on ground for the Eagles with his solid full match effort. Other Eagles playing well were Nathan Greenshields, Tom Rowe, and Nick Jericho. The Eagles have a good one in Dallas Hill – another Eagle largely responsible for the Eagles turning their season around.

Mallala battled hard all game and were best served by Jake Drew and Lawrence Gosling. Ben Goudie, Zane Priest, Russell Helps and Jonno Hallion also tried their best.

just before the siren to give Mallala a handy lead.

The last term saw both sides battling to push forward, however only one goal was scored by the Eagles through Brandon Taylor.

Better players for Mallala were Zac Hallion with his many possessions, Ryan Konzag for his strong effort, Dylan Kearns with his two goals and many marks. Josh Watson and Joey Hooper for their defensive pressure, and Hugh Kirvan for another fine four quarter effort.

For the Eagles, Jesse Zilm and Josh Appleby were best for their efforts at the ruck contests, Tyler Williams for his defensive pressure, Cody Scott providing a focal point at centre half forward, Brandon Taylor for his three goals and Tate Nottle tried hard also.

Junior Colts

The game started with Mallala kicking towards the northern end, and what a start for the home side. Dylan Kearns in ruck tapped the ball to Hugh Kirvan who in turn passed to Jake Birchmore. Jake then kicked the goal with only 10 seconds gone into the game. Tyler Williams was trying hard to repel Mallala’s forward movements as they continued to attack. Goals to the magpies from Dylan Kearns and Jake Birchmore. The remainder of the term saw the Eagles players keeping the ball in their forward area and through persistence goaled through Brandon Taylor.

The second term saw Jesse Zilm and Josh Appleby getting first use of the ball, the Eagles attacked. Unfortunately several missed shots resulted in points. Both teams attacked the ball with vigour, and a clash of heads between Mallala’s Jamie Good and Eagle Mitchell Hill after running towards the ball from opposite directions was sheer courage.

After half time, the Eagles scored within the first few minutes with a goal from Brandon Taylor. Mallala regrouped and after working the ball along the wing goaled through Dylan Kearns. Ben O’Leary goaled

Magpie Matthew Linn and Eagle Sam Nicholls tussle to get to the ball.

Mallala shatters Eagles • From back page Although the Eagles were missing important cogs in goal kicker Sam Jericho and ruckman/forward Shaun Price for this match they will be bitterly disappointed with the loss as they could have jumped as high as second (pending other results) with a win over last year’s runners up. Instead it was the Magpies who doubled their revenge from last year’s big day with their second win over the Eagles this season.

The Eagles would also be disappointed in being unable to break through the Magpies mean defence, registering a goal tally of just four majors over the course of four quarters – and just one goal in the second half.

In what was expected to be a much closer match many football enthusiasts knew if the Magpies could break the shackles of the Eagles pressure and get their running game going they would get the chocolates at home.

They did and Mallala’s onballers gained first possession to help their side to an early lead before their defenders in Robert Montgomery, James Wildbore and David Cawrse all made sure the Eagles were

never to get another look in.

Co-captains Liam Whitwell and Jason Earl were both good as was the underrated Brad Hardie. Word from the ground suggests Robert Montgomerie was a clear standout as best on ground.

The Eagles harder workers included lone ruckman Sean Light, in and under captain Shane Braham and on-baller/forward Ryan Reid who is slowly returning to full fitness.

Despite the last string of games between these sides being settled by a close margin, this win was the Magpies biggest win over the Eagles for many seasons.

It would have only been dampened by a calf injury to Joel Montgomerie – although it is not expected to keep him out for more than two weeks.

Peckers surprise

Meanwhile at Balaklava, the Peckers surprised many and possibly their opponents to win their third game of the season, and second on the trot – defeating the United Tigers by 46 points.

Just a week after the Peckers kept their season alive with

an upset win over Two Wells, they this week worked off the confidence gained a week prior and vigorously seized the opportunity to peg one more game closer to United – who now sit just above them in fifth place.

The catalyst behind the Peckers win was their work in close. The ability of Balaklava’s on-ballers to win first possession and feed out handballs in heavy traffic to their runners was the factor that really made a meal of United.

Paul McLean, Ben Catford, Justin Michael and Todd McPharlin were each exceptional teaming up in this department. Catford especially was at his damaging best showing all of his exceptional skill set and evasive tricks.

Ruckman Hayden Walker had a good battle with United’s Will Banton and had an influence around the ground at times.

Young defender Jed Rowland and fellow backman David Yates both played well and Brady Scott was the game’s leading goal kicker with four Pecker goals.

United’s Adrian Mills, Heath Pym and Matt East worked exceptionally hard to stem the flow by engineering some great passages of United’s play throughout the match. However whenever the Tigers seemed to work hard and scrounge a much needed goal the Peckers seemed to answer immediately with a degree of ease.

Mark Pym was good in defence for United but aside from players already mentioned United really didn’t have a lot of winners on the day.

United’s second half bench looked rather ill with some of their main ball getters in Simon Schulz, Sam McArdle and last years best and fairest winner Ben Sobey all off the ground injured.

Michael Davey also didn’t play and this seemed to affect the Tigers forward line potency

Roosters show Bombers no mercy

By Bronte Hewett

A grade

Two Wells brought out their best forward line abilities on Saturday, to beat Hamley Bridge by 146 points.

The Rooster victory was due to the most accurate kicking form their forward line has seen all year and fast team plays, while Hamley Bridge nearly matched the Roosters speed in the first half but couldn’t find form in other areas.

Two Wells moved the ball quickly around the field, using each other well.

Wally Hand was in obvious kicking form from the starting siren, and stayed consistent all game.

Bomber Matthew Green won almost all the taps and gained ground on the Roosters forcing them to increase the centre pressure. Stuart Gregory was quick and effective at clearing the ball as the Bombers rover, but a strong centre half and back line for the Roosters was dominating the Bomber disposals. The Roosters’ accurate kicking was evident on the score board, while the Bombers had equal opportunities in the first term, but weren’t as consistent, with the score sitting at 7.0 to 3.4.

Wally Hand was a force the bombers couldn’t contain, as he continued taking tough marks, kicking challenging goals and beating a range of Bomber defenders.

Bombers Tom Smith and Stuart Gregory supported each other in the mid-field but couldn’t find enough to answer the Roosters constant team work and good deliveries.

The Roosters’ first point wasn’t until late in the second quarter, as they racked up 14 goals in the meantime.

The score at half time was a comfortable 14.1 - 5.0 in the Roosters favour.

The Roosters continued to dominate the forward line, and by the third

Two Wells 31-8 (194) d Hamley Bridge 6-12 (48) term the Bombers’ fitness was letting them down and they were struggling to get past the Roosters’ mid-field force.

Thomas Would took consistent marks for the Bomber and Todd MacKereth kicked a goal and was a strong asset to his side at both ends of the field.

Adam Humzy worked tirelessly for the Roosters in his second A-grade game, and was well supported by Lee Allmond and Ned Seccafien through the field.

Justin Schahinger put in a hard effort against the Rooster offence but his efforts didn’t achieve the results his side needed.

Luke Wedding was well guarded by the Roosters’ Scott Goode in his A-grade debut, restricting him to only a few kicks at goal.

Bomber Todd MacKereth also had his work cut out with strong leads from Travis Uern.

There was no mercy from the Roosters as they pushed out their lead further in the third term.

The Bombers only kicked a point while the Roosters booted a significant 11 goals in the third term. 25.9 - 5.11 was the score going into three quarter time.

Ben Burgess got the right bounce to uplift the Bombers spirits, starting off the fourth term with a goal. Unfortunately that was the last of the Bombers goals for the game.

Ashley Natt for the Bombers worked jointly with Jed Eastwood to put in a solid attempt to restore their teams form, but the Roosters damaging forward line was unwilling to ease their destruction.

With Wally Hand’s 11 goals, and

support from Travis Uern, five and Lee Allmond, five, the Roosters kicking abilities were beyond the Bomber’s reach, despite a feisty effort from the Bomber side. The final score was 31.8 (194) to 6.12 (48).

Reserves

The Roosters were much too strong for the Hamley Bridge Bombers on Saturday, dominating the home game by a significant 18.23 (136) to 1.0 (6).

The Roosters were on the board early after some hard work up forward and the Bombers were always on the chase putting in a solid defensive effort.

The visitors nearly had some breaks with Lachlan O’Neil quick and David Ireland backing up and shepparding.

Rooster forward Sean Nickolas was in good form after his time in A-grade, and the home side had an added boost with regular A graders Jacob Hart and Nathan Applebee having a run.

Some good contests from the Bombers throughout the field put the Roosters under pressure, and they were very inconsistent inside their 50m. The Roosters kicked more points and weren’t too constructive.

But they shared the ball around and also accumulated four goals.

Hamley Bridge remained scoreless in the first quarter, with the Rooster taking a steady lead at 4.7- 0.

Lee Naulty tagged Sean Nickolas and kept him under constant pressure, which looked to be limiting his input to the game, although he finished with five goals for the match.

Paul Pittam kicked the Bombers’

first and only goal towards the end of the second term to lift their spirits.

Hamley Bridge players Joseph Gregory and Lee Naulty played a big role in preventing the Roosters further increasing the margin, and managed to pressure the Roosters into once again increasing more behinds instead of goals.

The score at half time was 9-14 to 1.

The Roosters pushed out their lead in the third term with straighter kicking and higher intensity. Nathan Applebee was a solid offensive player through the mid-field, slotting into the team nicely and playing a dominant leadership role.

The Roosters were a bit sloppy as the Bombers smothered kicks and intercepted deliveries. Nathan Applebee and Jacob Hart used their experience and good kicking to set up some good marks in the Roosters forward line.

The Bombers didn’t get the chance to kick goals with the ball dominating the Roosters goal third and only venturing past the mid-field on several occasions.

The Roosters were looking too strong at three quarter time, with the margin remaining big -15.16 to 1.

Bomber Scott Rademacher showed good marking in the Rooster goal square while Theo Papzaglou had a good leg and kicked consistently.

The Bombers got the ball in their third more in the last quarter but weren’t able to come out with goals.

Tom Taylor was a good performer for Two Wells and Rhys McKean was on target despite being closely tagged for most of the game.

The Roosters had all key positions covered by reliable players and never allowed the Bombers a chance in this one sided contest. The Bombers put in a good effort and defensive attempts to keep the Roosters busy and alert.

The final score was 18-23 (131) to 1.0 (6).

from the outset!

Nevertheless the Peckers never really looked like losing and overall were simply too hard, too quick and too skilful with a committed performance by all 21 players seeing them over the line in a canter.

Roosters regain confidence

And in the final game of the round at Two Wells, the home side completely demolished a visiting Hamley Bridge side by 146 points.

The win was just what Two Wells needed to recover from their unexpected loss to Balaklava a week prior. For the Bombers though it was yet another dark day as they suffered their fifth straight 100 plus point defeat.

It was also their second 100 plus point defeat to Two Wells this season.

In last week’s loss it was the Roosters first term which proved costly as they only managed an inaccurate 2.8 against the Peckers. This week there were no such blemishes at all with their first term this week delivering the Roosters a gun-barrel straight return of 7.0.

In fact the Roosters half time score line of 17.1 was very impressive - their final scoreline of 31.8 equally so and no doubt would have impressed their coach Stephen Fitzgerald.

Much credit for the Roosters accuracy in this match can be attributed to the goal kicking power of ruckman come on-baller Aaron “Wally” Hand who this week lined up inside

forward 50 and did little wrong as a forward target. Whilst Hand has always been a competent goal kicker and sinking many a long bomb has always been part of his repertoire this week against the Bombers he proved the linchpin the young side needed to dominate on the scoreboard from start to finish.

The Roosters better players included followers Ben Spiteri, Ned Seccafien and defender and captain Scott Humphrys. Lee Allmond kicked five goals and youngster Steven Devine had another good game as he continues to stake a claim for a regular A Grade berth. Travis Uren kicked five goals with Justin Antony slotting four.

For the Bombers who gave a good account of themselves in many aspects of the midfield wingman come rover Stuart Gregory, ruckman Justin Schahinger, and rover Tom Smith led the way. Matt Norman was credible, skipper Ashley Natt noticeable and Joel Latimer used the ball well when finding enough space to work in.

In many ways the 2009 APFL season is epitomising what football and more so sport as a whole is all about.

Nothing is a given, games can change at any moment and it takes either a concentrated four quarter performance or a combination of sheer individual brilliance to get on top.

In this 2009 APFL season you must play well, not just individually but as a team to win a game of football. This is why local Adelaide Plains footy is currently at the best.

Bomber juniors sport new guernseys Hamley Bridge junior colts were recently given new guernseys, which were kindly donated by sponsors Bryon and Kirsty Coles – owners of Roseworthy Roadhouse, Roseworthy Tyre service and new owners of Hamley Bridge Takeaway.

A thankyou was given to Kirsty and Bryon on behalf of the junior colts team, coach Brett Burgess and team

managers Nicole Rosenzweig and Lea Collings.

The new guernseys must have given the young Bomers a big boost of confidence, as they went out and won their first game of the season!

Bryon and Kirsty’s support is much appreciated by the team.

Silver for our Mid North hockey team The SAPSASA Hockey Carnival was held from June 15 to 19 at the Grange Hockey Club grass grounds in Adelaide.

The Mid North region fielded a boys team consisting of players from Balaklava, Burra and Clare and participated in Division 2, a promotion after topping Division 3 in 2008.

Fielding several first time players, some Year fives and with shortened preparation the group bonded well, responded splendidly to coaching drills and direction in the warm ups to each and every game and stuck to a consistent game plan.

Consequently the group performed outstandingly, finishing a strong second behind Southwest after playing 11 games for seven wins, the last six games in a row, two draws and two losses.

Game one was a 1-1 draw with Port.

Game two a 2-0 win over Lower Eyre Peninsula. Game three a 0-0 draw with Gawler and game four an unfortunate 1-2 loss to Southern. Captain Tom Forrest led the scoring with three, and Zen BrackstoneBall opened his account with one in the game over Lower Eyre.

Game five the boys were overwhelmed 0-4 by a classy Southwest, the eventual gold winner with 31 points. Many teams would have reeled after that but Mid North came out in game six on Wednesday with a revamped forward line, played its best half of the tournament against Airport West and led 3-0 at half time. Final score 3-1 with goals to Zenneth, Hamish McGregor and surprise find in new centre forward Bryce

Chapman. This game was the turning point of the tournament with wins from then on.

Game seven was a 1-0 win over Whyalla, Bryce scoring the goal. Game eight saw the beginning of round two against teams that had held us up in the opening round, and this time it was 2-1 over Port after coming from behind. Zenneth got the equaliser and Bryce the winner. Game nine was a struggle against a stubborn Lower Eyre Peninsula, with Bryce the sole scorer.

Game 10 was a must win against Gawler to get into silver position for the last day.

The players responded seriously to the pre-game warmup and applied themselves enthusiastically. Tom re-entered the score sheet for an early lead only to see it revert after Gawler equalised from a breakaway after a turnover. Mid North dominated Gawler’s circle but failed to convert until in the final seconds a controlled run by Zenneth from the 25 yard line into the circle and a flick over the goalie secured the points.

Game 11 against the nemesis of round one, Southern. Mid North dominated from the start with a strong positive attitude, strength over the ball, tight marking and tackling and a determined will to win.

Late in the first half, Dillon Brown trapped fantastically in the circle left of goal from a powerfully hit pass from Tim Goldney. He immediately squared it to the hotspot and Bryce tipped it in. The guys were ecstatic but remained cool in the second half to defend this lead. Final result 1-0 and silver for 14 goals for, 10 against, 27 points.

This team was a pleasure to coach.

They were courteous, hardworking and fun – excellent country kid ambassadors.

Tom Forrest (four goals) had an outstanding tournament, and will go a long way in hockey. Zenneth Brackstone-Ball (four goals) was a quality contributor and the find of the tournament, the year five fella, Bryce Chapman from Balaklava, was re-

markable with five goals, four games in a row at one stage and sole scorer in three games. Michael Bowden was a strong and assertive goalkeeper, and Edward Mader a very dependable right fullback. Dillon and James Brown, both new to hockey but spot on sportsmen, applied themselves diligently and Hamish McGregor (one goal), Lachie Haddow, Tim Goldney, Jake Dolphin, Sam

Haddow, and Ryan Ellard all contributed greatly and consistently. A real team effort guys where you all played and achieved for each other.

SPORT v Netball

Balaklava damages Long Plains early Balaklava v Longies

Balaklava won against Long Plains at Balaklava 61 – 46.

The Balaklava girls took off with a great break in the first quarter, making it hard for Long Plains to get the ball back into their possession.

Long Plains’ game play was good all over the court, making many turnovers, though they had difficulty getting the ball to the goal circle.

Balaklava was strong in the centre, with Gaynor Tink driving down the court with force.

The second quarter was more even play. Long Plains brought on Leah Tynan, replacing Alison Jacka in centre.

Balaklava capitalised on numerous intercepts, which kept their lead strong.

Longies’ Sheree Tezacker exchanged to centre from strong defensive play, giving the Long Plains girls the drive they were lacking in previous quarters.

But the damage from the first quarter had already taken its toll on Long Plains.

A1 netball reports n By Stephanie Reimers

Two Wells v Hamley Br

Two Wells defeated Hamley, 49 – 36.

This was a tight game all the way through – a fast and spontaneous game.

Two Wells were able to play a great game of netball due to the weather finally being calm and sunny.

“Everyone played well on the court, it was hard to depict who was a stand out.” said Two Wells coach Penny Nicholls.

Two Wells’ best players were Karen Penhall and Cassie Lange – who played well in goal shooter again this week.

Hamley Bridge’s Emma Riley’s defensive skills gave her team some drive, as well

as awarding her best player.

Hummocks v Mallala

Hummocks defeated Mallala 44 – 26.

Hummocks coach Cheryl Applebee said, “The score doesn’t show how tough the game actually was.”

Mallala had strong man-on-man play which Hummocks had trouble avoiding to continue playing their style of netball, affecting their score. However, Hummocks made many turnovers and were able to apply their skills against Mallala, giving them the lead in the game.

Mallala’s defence and shooting were exceptional, barely missing a goal. They made many intercepts, taking Hummocks’ opportunities and making them their own.

Both teams were unrelenting and fought until the ‘death’. Hummocks’ best player was Claire Daniels, who played a great defensive game, and Mallala’s Jayne Brown took best player for the strong efforts she made as goal keeper.

Hamley bows to Wells’ tight defence A1: In a great game from both sides, Two Wells were able to convert more turnovers from pressure and tight defence to win 49/36.

With no wind and plenty of sunshine, Two Wells took the early lead 12/9 at the first break.

In the second quarter in a good match-up with Cassie Lange and Hamley GK, Two Wells lost their flow allowing Hamley to come back into the game.

The last time Hamley and Two Wells met, Two Wells had a 10-goal turn around in the last quarter and ended up losing by six goals. So TW had to regroup and maintain possession and play their game which they did through the whole court winning the quarter by seven goals.

Two Wells’ aim was to win the final quarter and tight defence provided by Karen Penhall proved too much for Hamley and resulted in several turnover goals.

A2: Two Wells won this game by eight goals after Hamley Bridge took the lead in the first quarter.

Good shooting byAmanda Mullins and good defence

by Kate Pierotti and Tanya Rademacher kept Two Wells from levelling.

But Two Wells made some positional changes in the second quarter which made a big difference. Angela Phillis and Rhiannon Wendland worked

hard in defence taking strong intercepts along with Stephanie Agnello in centre who were standouts for Two Wells.

The Prior sister combination in goals worked well with Two Wells turning the game their way 26/15.

Hamley Bridge made positional changes in the third quarter to make up 14-goal turnover. This paid off but Two Wells still won the quarter by one goal.

Leah Prior continued to drive hard at GA for TW with good feeding by Carly Smith.

Brianna Wedding shot brilliantly for Hamley helping to bridge the gap but it wasn’t enough and TW won 50/42.

A3: Two Wells started strongly with accurate shooting by Megan Renshaw. Rachel Lange working hard in the centre court getting interceptions which Two Wells were able to score from. TW 14, HB 6.

Two Wells threw a few balls away but worked very hard to correct their mistakes.

Hamley Bridge stepped up in this quarter with their team getting the ball to their shooter a little easier. Good passing from Kate Lange and Jaime Ferguson made it easy for out shooters to get their shots in. Defence was fantastic with Stacey and Di getting lots of rebounds. TW 27, HB 12.

Intercepts from Jaime Ferguson and the space she created resulted in great flow

down the court and into the goal ring. Accurate shooting from both Lisa Cocks and Megan Renshaw. Rachel Lange worked extremely hard putting to pressure on her WA. TW 42, HB 15.

Both teams came out hard for the last quarter and Hamley Bridge put a lot of pressure on Two Wells resulting in Two Wells only winning the quarter by one goal. Good decision making really helped Two Wells against Hamley. Final scores TW 50, HB 22.

A5: Both teams started well. Hamley doing well in defence but Two Wells led by seven goals.

Two Wells shooting improved in the second quarter.

Defensive pressure from Two Wells all down the court was good. Sarah Dinham shot well.

Good defence from Hamley and their shooting improved.

Jamie Dinham was strong in defence. Two Wells lead 33-11 at the end of the third quarter.

Hamley goal shooter was accurate. Good improvement from Hamley leading in the quarter. Good defence by Jamie Dinham.

B grade: Two Wells had a resounding win defeating Hamley Bridge 42/9.

led 17/2.

Two Wells started the second quarter scoring four goals to nil in the first five minutes. The game deteriorated as both teams played a scrappy game.

Two Wells changed their goalies in the third putting Brooke Schui to Gs and Sharnie Kent (GA) but it was still scrappy play.

Both teams played better in the final quarter moving the ball quickly over the court but Two Wells won easily.

C1: Both sides started well with good ball movement through the centre and both defence playing solid games. Emily Clarke and Rachel Hator worked well in the circle as did Hamley Bridge’s goalies.

Standout players for the quarter were Two Wells Zoe Grant and Renee Cameron.

TW 3, HB 3.

Again Two Wells had plenty of ball. Rebecca Fritz with all players contributed well. Both defences continued to work hard with plenty of interceptions on both sides.

Renee Cameron played well in the centre as did Olivia Izzo for Hamley. TW 8, HB 7.

Two Wells jumped to quick lead in the third quarter with Tayla Guy on target early.

Brodie Kirvan, Mallala intercepts a pass intended for Tegan Nottle, Hummocks during the B grade game.

The height of Mia Langtry was starting to cause problems for the Two Wells defence but Alex Chisolm and Chelsea Fabrici did well to keep Two Wells ahead by one goal at the end of the quarter. TW 13, HB 12.

Hamley Bridge worked the ball a bit better to their goalies in the last term with Mia Langtry and Tiffany Buckby making the most of their opportunities. Two Wells fought hard with Zoe Grant, Krystal Wilmshurst and Madeliene Seccafien providing plenty of run and commitment.

D1: Two Wells won easily defeating Hamley Bridge 29/0.

Goals flowed from Sarah Fabrici and Brooke Humphrys although Hamley defences Tyler Powell, Jayden Burns

and Nardia Langtry tried hard to stop the flow.

Two Wells players, Stephanie Seves and Grace Slattery dominated centre court in the second quarter feeding the ball well into the goal ring against a determined Hamley team.

Some terrific play by Hamley’s Kimberly Sellars and Debra Lambert shone out.

Terrific passing into the goal ring helped TW maintain their lead with goalies Emily

Flaherty and Kristie Crafter shooting and rebounding well.

Hamley put up a stronger fight in the third and fourth when goalies were given more opportunities. Well done to Tayla Coles, Crystal Hewitt, Amy McCabe and Madaline Lamont.

The final quarter was dominated by TW goalies and centre court, Molly Dowsett, Rachael Forbes, Caitlin Musolino who played well to keep Hamley’s score down.

Golf Balaklava Ladies

It was all hands on deck when I got to the course last week. Dad’s Army was out in full force, tractors and mowers buzzing around everywhere.

The course does look good after all the rain and the work that has been done by the volunteers. Thirteen girls played in the third stroke and club medal competition.

Winner of the A grade was M Kemp with 88/70, r/up N Taylor 90/74 and C Redpath 102/82. Sponsors for the A Grade this week were Baker Springs Wines Rhynie.

Winner in the B Grade was J Hoskin 102/71, r/up F Williams 108/72, H Maxwell 112/80, M Hayes 112/82. Sponsors were Brian and Maurine Kemp and Wendy’s Café N Cakes.

Saturday June 27. Competition: Par. Sponsor: T&V Cox Transport. Players: 34. CCR: +6.

A fine and sunny day greeted 34 players.

For some of us it seems as though we need horrid weather to score a decent round, myself included, but when we do get it all we want is the nice fine weather back, but we still can’t make a go of it.

It must frustrate most of us, but we keep coming back week after week, only to torture ourselves again and again.

Or is it the 19th and the company that keeps us coming back?!

It was suggested during the week from a member of another club, that we should get a flock of sheep to eat the soursobs off of the fairways to make it easier for him to find the balls that he lost.

All well and good, but dodging the landmines they leave behind could be worse!

Object of the game, stay on the fairway, I know it’s easier said than done from one who visits the soursobs on a number of occasions.

Maybe next week scores will be better (we can only hope).

Tennis Ladies Winter

After a wet week, the sun shone for the ladies unlike the poor old winter nighters, who have been rained out either before or during play for the past few weeks!

Their spate of wet weather just happens to coincide with the return of Diane Gregor, who is now known as the new ‘wet’n’wild woman’, which quite delights Murray!

This week isn’t looking too promising either for the nighters, but will probably be just fine for the ladies!

And we must wish our nighter fill-in Suzy McDonald a special happy birthday, of an age now called the new ‘40’!

Just a reminder for the ladies, play is meant to start at 9-30am! A late start does make it very late for our lunch dates and shortens our gasbagging time afterwards! So please try to get there by 9-20am!

The ‘best captain in the world’, Helen Durdin, led her very tangy Limes to a big win over Helen Barry’s Lemons 636- to 0-12.

The Limes were assisted with the very capable services of Sascha Tiller and Joy Ryan, as both Meriel Lane and Angela Battle were missing in action.

The poor Lemons were outgunned with newie Tess Mellow facing the daunting task of playing a very experienced (on and off the court) Valerie Carling all day, which just wasn’t fair!

The two Helens had some excellent games, with two being 6-4s. Lemons Kim Eime was seen sporting a new jacket, apparently borrowed from her son’s wardrobe, but it wasn’t a lucky one as she got a walloping from Joyful, including a dakdropper with Tess!

We also had the services of a tram conductor this week to wave in Tess’s shots!

Speaking of waving, there seemed to be a lot of ‘swatting and waving’ of racquets, not necessarily actually hitting the balls, by Valerie, Helen D, Tess and Kim! Maybe they should take up golf for their airies!

Heidi Zerk’s Solos continued on their winning way, this time defeating Shaz Pike’s Sprites 5-32 to 1-20. Shaz and Rae Winen were very unlucky to lose a long tiebreaker, which was the only one for any team for the whole day, to Kellie Harrison and Heidi.

Shaz was inspired though, and with partner Lorraine Jenner, won their next set quite comfortably over Kellie and Julie Bigg.

Kirsty Williams, filling in for Sarah Kammermann, was thrown into top spot, and had a consistent hit against Melissa Moulds all day, but couldn’t quite get over the line!

Heidi has her team pumped and is hoping they can stay injury free, and unlike many of the other teams, have an age advantage on their side!

The final match saw the absent Louise Michael’s Bitters come a valiant second to Pauline Hill’s Fantas 4-31 to 2-22.

Money was seen changing hands to not have this score printed, but Louise’s fill-in Colleen Allen and partner Kathryn Mahony had to reveal their bikinis as Pauline and Kerrie Bell gave them a welcome they didn’t want, 6-0!

Colleen’s excuse was that she wasn’t used to her new glasses, but we think she actually couldn’t even see through them! After starting at 0, Colleen gained two games each set, ending with a hard fought 4-6 set against Pauline and Mary Connell.

By next week, Colleen should be able to see!

The Bitters star was Nikki Dezen, who featured in both of the Bitters’ winning sets, one each with mother in law Di Taylor, and the other with Kathryn.

Nikki’s opponent Narelle Michael had a slow start and end, but a good win in the middle with Pauline.

Nazza was distracted by a messy nightmarish cafe dejavou moment by son Josh, making a few of the ladies go into hysterics, thinking they’re glad their children are past that stage!

This was the closest match of the morning and next week is the final week before school holidays!

Until then, when the Limes have a bye, and we can see what Colleen can see, see, see...

sport v District

Can Rams break Mallala’s game plan?

Virginia v Mallala

In their match last time around on May 9 Mallala gave an eager Virginia somewhat of a ‘reality check’ with a 79 point hiding.

This was despite Virginia entering the game full of early season confidence and coming off two great first up wins. Although the Rams copped it that day and were comprehensively smashed by a steely Mallala the Rams did pick themselves up off the canvas and return to play a solid month of football after that.

Their effort sees them now well positioned within the top four as we speak.

This is a good sign. But, the big question surrounding the Rams still burns: Can they get closer to Mallala this time around?

Certainly they will need to if they are to make an impact when the finals come around!

Virginia this week will be fresh off the bye and raring to go while Mallala will be coming off a confidence boosting win over the reigning premier last week.

Mallala’s game plan is hard to break down. Their midfield towelled the Rams up last time and we know they have a committed bunch of players on every line who play a great team game often with no passengers.

Mallala’s win over HWE last week once again highlighted just how committed the Magpies are when they pull on the guernsey each week. They all play their role within the team no matter how big or small (the player or the role that is). For this reason they will be hard to stop as they look to consolidate top spot on the ladder.

Their opponents Virginia have some super individual talent within their group – especially in defence and in the midfield. The back six of Virginia could have much to say about the result this week - although as is well known, if the Magpies are allowed enough of the ball through the middle of the ground it may not matter how mean and brilliant the Rams defence.

The Virginia’s midfield unit is capable and surely much better than their result against the Magpies last time suggests.

This time around they simply must deliver a better result. If the better known Rams play at their best this week and drag some of the lesser lights up to the next level then they are a strange chance of turning the May 9 result around.

To do this it is imperative their forwards in Geradis, Schutt and the like will need to have more influence than they did on that occasion when they were well flanked by a Liam Heeley and Cawrse brothers led Mallala defence.

It is highly likely if any more than two players from any one team make the trip north, then that team could suffer.

With this in mind, today’s preview of the weekend games could become slightly askew by match day! could potentially be missing captain and 2008 Plains Producer Medalist Matthew Young and gun on-baller Anthony Johnston. The Magpies too could be without Christian Rimmer, Liam Whitwell and Jason Earl. They are most likely already planning to be without Joel Montgomerie who suffered a calf injury in last week’s match.

HWE v Two Wells - at Port Wakefield

Both HWE and Two Wells are not only looking to make the finals but equally make an impact when they get there.

MAGPIES Daniel Feeley looks on while team mate Reece Kerr tries to intercept a handball from Ram Devon Oliver to Anthony Bascombe during the A grade game on May 9. smaller ground however an enthusiastic Two Wells did defeat the Eagles last time and will no doubt give them a real run for their money. The Roosters are definitely capable of defeating the Eagles for a second time this season.

In the last few seasons the Roosters have challenged the Eagles on many occasions – even when the Eagles were at the ‘top of their games’ and the Roosters were just young whipper snappers in the grand scheme of things their running game always troubled the Eagles despite results still favouring the competitions powerhouse.

One factor which suggests it will be tough for Two Wells this week is that, despite having many players in form it will be hard for the Roosters to find the space they crave on the small Port Wakefield oval. Nevertheless it is well within their reach.

Although HWE had put together a good few weeks in the lead up to last week’s match their big loss to Mallala showed they, like many sides are vunerable when they have a few important players missing. In years gone by the Eagles depth covered losses better than any other team, however in 2009 it can be argued it is a much a different story.

It is likely the Central Zone team to play in the SA Country Football Championships could include Eagles Joe Hunt

UNDER 14

Balaklava v Springstown In mild but damp conditions, the under 14’s took to the field ready for a hard game, Springstown being a good opponent and known for their stick skills.

Balaklava got off to a cracking start thanks to Heath Milne who scored the first goal of the day within minutes of the match starting. A great boost for the team. Contests for the rest of the half were fairly even with plenty of play in the Springstown attacking zone. Springstown earned a number of short corners but Michael Bowden was on fire doing a fantastic job defending the goals. He was backed up well in defence from Hedley Greenshields and Bryce Chapman. Tim Goldney had some beautiful hit outs striking the ball well for some very powerful shots sending the ball back towards the Balaklava attacking zone. Natasha Greenshields, Jesse Shepherd, Marni Greenshields all worked well in the centre trying to feed the ball down to Heath and Tim Heslop.

The second half of the game was quite exciting with Balaklava earning a number of penalty corners however they weren’t able to convert any of them with Springstown’s defence working well together. Late in the half, Balaklava were awarded a penalty flick which Hedley superbly put away for a goal to give Balaklava a two – nil lead. Casey Lawrie, Mitchell Lawrie, Nathan Shepherd, Ethan Gates, Tyler Milne & Tom Goldney all played well backing up their team mates helping to attack and defend the ball.

UNDER 17

Balaklava v Springstown Springstown got off to a flying start with two quick goals at the beginning of the match. Balaklava started off looking a bit lack lustre but thankfully improved as they warmed up. Samuel Tiller set up a beautiful goal dribbling the ball down the field, into the D and had a shot which Ben Shepherd tapped in. This fired up the team and Pete McMillin thought he would have a go. Showing some good stick skills, he controlled the

and Daniel Thomas this weekend. Sam Jericho didn’t play in last week’s loss to Mallala and he too is in the Zone team squad. If two of these players miss this match it certainly makes the Eagles very vunerable once again.

Unless Two Wells Ned Seccafien makes the Central Zone side (announced tonight) then you’d think Two Wells will have a near full strength outfit and a great chance of defeating the Eagles. While this factor will not settle the game alone it would be a contributing one!

Although Aaron “Wally” Hand kicked 11 goals for the Roosters last week one feels his strong body this week may be best positioned in the midfield against the Eagles rather than in the goal third.

It will be hard to shift him back to his regular role given his game last week – nevertheless it is a decision that may need to be made?

Last time they met: May 9 at Two Wells; Two Wells 15-14 (104) def H W Eagles 10-8 (68).

Balaklava v Hamley Br

Can Balaklava make it ‘three in a row’ with a win over the Bombers this week?

The only thing that could suggest this may not be the case is if all three Balaklava Zone squad members make the final cut tonight and miss this week’s APFL match against the Bombers.

ball and tapped it in levelling the score to two all. This was a good match to watch with both teams defending well and passing well to each other. Josh Chapman decided that he needed to have a bit more of a warm up so after some good defensive work, he went on the attack and dribbled the ball down from half back down to the Balaklava D to set up a goal but just missed the shot. Then it was Ben Shepherd’s turn for a run. He ran the ball in, had a brief one-on-one with the goalie and tapped it in for a goal bringing the score to Balaklava 3 – Springy’s 2. Generally the play was fairly even but Balaklava was just able to get most of their attempts past the Springstown goalie.

The second half saw both teams come out fighting hard for the ball. It was still anyone’s game. Matthew Gates was working well in the centre, tackling well and running hard and generally giving the opposition a hard time as he just seemed to be everywhere.

Springstown had a couple of chances to score before they were awarded with a short corner but Josh and Jesse Shepherd worked well together and cleared the ball away. Balaklava went on the attack getting a short but not able to convert. Play continued in the centre until Balaklava got the ball back into their D where there was some tight tussle until Pete again connected with the ball and found the back of the net. Springstown were next to get a goal after some play the managed to get away from Balaklava and pop one through bring the score to Balaklava 4 – Springy’s 3. Coach Trent made a couple of changes on the field and brought Tamara Gates back on where she went hard attacking the ball. Springstown stepped it up in the last 10-15 minutes to try and at least level the score but Balaklava continued to defend well keeping them at bay until the final whistle blew. Well played Balaklava.

MEn

Balaklava v Sprinstown What a match this turned out to be. After Balaklava recruited Sharon Hill and Hayley Chapman to fill the team, play got underway. Balaklava had most of the play having a number of shots at goal without success. James Napper went for a run with the ball into the D but couldn’t get a clear shot. Play was turned over to Springstown for a short period and they were able to get the ball into their attacking zone. Pete McMillin was in goals for this match and defended his area well. A short was awarded but they couldn’t convert it. There was great talk between the guys (and girls) with everyone working hard for the ball.

Not the cleanest game played with a few high balls and a number of Springstown boys being hit with the ball. Balaklava got a short corner which was hit

On-form Hayden Walker and Ben Catford should be a walk-up starts – this could affect the outcome, even more so if Todd McPharlin joins them, leaving a hole in the Peckers midfield that has been a catalyst behind their recent wins over Two Wells and United.

While it is anyone’s guess as to whether these three Balaklava guns will be there if they aren’t, then the Hamley Bridge boys will want to be in bed early Friday night because this game of sixth v seventh will then provide them with their best chance of a win this season.

It is worth noting that last season the Bombers did beat Balaklava when the Peckers were without their captain Hayden Walker. Whilst it will take some doing – especially considering the Peckers are up and about with recent wins lifting their anticipation, if Balaklava’s three in-form playmakers aren’t there it brings the Bombers into contention.

With United having the bye this week Balaklava could trade places with the Tigers if they can win and gain enough percentage from their match this weekend. You’d think despite expecting to be without at least Walker the other Pecker players will not likely let the opportunity to stay in touch slip, you wouldn’t think.

Last time they met: May 2 at Hamley Bridge: Balaklava 17-15 (117) def Hamley Bridge 8-11 (59).

to Raf who took a big swing but Springstown goalie made a good save. Half time score – nil all.

Springstown started with the ball but lost it to Raf. Balaklava worked it down but lost it. Play continued back and forth with everyone having a chance to get in and have a go at getting the ball down to their respective goals. Raf had another shot at goal but Sharon wasn’t quick enough to deflect it in. Balaklava applied good pressure and was able to work it back down to have another shot but this time neither Hayley or Sharon were able to deflect it in as it went across the face of goal. The next time the ball got into Balaklava’s D the goalie went to ground defending it but this time Sharon was ready to take him on and was able to get the ball over the line after some scrambly play. The ball went back to the centre where Hayley took control and took it down to the D, passed it off to Napper who pushed it through. Balaklava had a final short before the whistle blew but wasn’t able to convert it as the Springstown goalie defended it well.

Balaklava v Springstown The sun had finally appeared from behind the clouds but the ground being quite soggy and springy resulted in play being somewhat slower. About mid way through the first half, Balaklava was awarded a short corner which Hayley hit out to Roweena who took a shot at goal. It was defended well by the Springstown goalie but Hayley was still there and returned the attack to score the first goal of the match for Balaklava.

Play was contested well by both teams with Springstown having to contend with Tegan’s big hits through the centre enabling the ball to get down into Balaklava’s attacking zone quickly.

Balaklava started the second half well with good defence. Hayley and Amber worked together in attack and won a long corner. Springstown had many shots at goal but Caitlin kept them out with her fantastic defensive skills.

Balaklava won a short corner, but unfortunately didn’t score. After a lot of fight from both teams, Springstown scored, leveling the score to one all. Balaklava juggled the ball a bit, with Mary, Amber and Hayley working well in the centre.

Balaklava was back in the lead when Sharon scored a goal. Roweena passed wide to Tegan, but Springstown got possession of the ball. Balaklava won a short corner and almost shot the ball into the goals. Time was almost up and Balaklava won three short corners but was unable to score. A good win for Balaklava against a strong team.

n RHIZOCTONIA ALERT: paddocks across southern Australia

Rhizoctonia bare patch could be the main soil borne disease risk to cereal crops – particularly those sown late – this season according to the Grains Research and Development Corporation. Manager of crop protection, Dr Rohan Rainbow, said recent dry seasons and reduced carbon inputs from crop residues had caused a decline in biological activity, and this had favoured high levels of Rhizoctonia fungus. “Data from 415

Advisory Board initial response.

Chairman of the Advisory Board, Dr David Poulsen, said the review was a significant step in BBA’s development as it assesses the performance of BBA since its formation in 2006 and charts a pathway for Australian barley breeding beyond the current term of BBA (which ends in June 2011). “The board has a strong commitment to consultation and is making the review’s key findings public and inviting feedback to ensure there is a clear direction for Australian barley breeding in the future,� Dr Poulsen said.

More conversion, less confusion When reading grain reports you often come across figures in bushels and US cents per bushel, so I thought I would run though some conversions.

This will help you understand what the underlying world price is for grain, and may help with your marketing decisions.

Converting from bushels to metric tonnes Commodity Conversion Factor

(bushels to metric tonnes) Wheat 36.74371 Corn 39.36822 Barley 45.93013

Example – How many tonnes is 5,000 bushels of wheat?

5,000 bushels / 36.74371 = 136 metric tonnes.

(Note: 5,000 bushels is one standard wheat futures contract in the US).

Often bushels are quoted in bushels per acre, and as most readers would be aware, 1 acre = 0.4047 hectares.

40 bushels per acre = 40/36.74371 = 1.088 metric tonnes per acre = 1.088 X 0.4047 = 0.440 metric tonnes per hectare.

Converting from US cents per bushel to $AUD per metric tonne (US cents per bushel/100) X conversion factor = $AUD per metric tonnes

$AUD/USD Example – If a US grain grower was paid 530 US cents per bushel for his wheat, how much is this in $AUD? 530 US cents per bushel/100 = USD5.30 per bushel USD5.30 per bushel X 36.74371 = USD194.74 per metric tonne USD194.74 per metric tonne/$AUD/USD 0.78* = AUD249.67 per metric tonne *$AUD/USD – use current rate 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 Contact CBH Grain Regional Manager Henry Carracher, call the Grower Service Centre on 1800 107 759 or visit www.cbhgrain.com.au DISCLAIMER: This Weekly Comment is written by Grain Pool Pty Ltd ABN 39089 394 883 (AFS No. 269743) and may contain general advice which was prepared without taking account of your objectives, financial situation or needs.

Love you, miss you. Lorna and families.

Becker - Norm. This day recalls our sadness. The day you went to sleep. Four years has passed already.

The pain is still so deep.

We fell so lost without you, yet we know you’re standing here and then a wonderful memory finds a smile among our tears.

We hold you close within our hearts and there you will remain. To walk with us throughout our lives.

Love you, miss you. Lorna and families.

AT A GLANCE FOOTBALL

Mallala 16.9 (105) d HW Eagles 4.11 (35) Balaklava 19.10 (124) d United 11.12 (78) Two Wells 31.8 (194) d Hamley Bridge 6.12 (48)

Not a good look for the Tigers

Central ‘Zone’ team steals club players While normal APFL Football matches will continue this weekend around the Plains, the annual South Australian Country Football championship will once again take place at Port Pirie’s Memorial oval.

The carnival is likely to include a handful of APFL players and be contested by six regional zones – Southern Districts, Eyre Peninsula, Eastern (formerly Murray/Mallee/Barrier/ Barossa) South East, Northern and Central (made up of Adelaide Plains, North Eastern and the Yorke Peninsula football leagues).

APFL representatives included in the initial squad of 40 ‘Central Zone’ players to be trimmed down to 25 includes: Mallala: Liam Whitwell, Christian Rimmer, Jason Earl; HWE: Daniel Thomas, Joe Hunt; Virginia: Matthew Young, Anthony Johnston; United: Heath Pym; Two Wells: Ned Seccafien; Balaklava: Hayden Walker, Ben Catford, Todd McPharlin United’s Sam McArdle and Mallala’s Joel Montgomerie were also included in the squad although injuries sustained last weekend may prevent them from being included.

Eagle Sam Jericho also missed the Eagles game at the weekend, suggesting he could also be ruled out of contention!

It is the second year in which threetime finalist Central zone, runner-up last year to MMBB (now Eastern), has been made up of just three leagues.

Prior to 2008 the Central zone also included the Northern Areas FA (now in Northern) and Barossa, Light and Gawler FA (now in Eastern).

The Central Zone will play in two lead up games this Saturday followed by a finals series on Sunday.

Unlike last year the local APFL competition will not have a bye this weekend.

Coach will once again be Nick Ashby (of Blyth/Snowtown affiliation). The squad’s final training session is tonight at Snowtown when the team to travel to Port Pirie will be announced.

It shows the dominance of Balaklava over United, with the Peckers reversing its first-round loss at Long Plains to keep its final four hopes alive.

Thumped!

THE APFL minor round has just hit the half way mark and yet again the latest round of matches has delivered more results which would have been near impossible to predict.

While many might have tipped a Mallala win over the Hummocks Watchman Eagles in the season’s second grand final rematch at Mallala, no-one would have predicted the final margin for last week’s ‘match of the round’ to be so large.

Seventy points suggests the Mallala side were keen to show their loss to United before their bye was merely a blemish - obviously keen on sending the Eagles home with their tails firmly between their legs.

At Balaklava few would have predicted the home side to turn their 53-point round one loss to United

Although many certainly would have predicted the Roosters big win over Hamley Bridge, Two Wells’ goal accuracy would have surprised

more than a few – as would have Aaron “Wally” Hand’s haul of 11 goals. Interestingly, for just the second time this season each of the three home sides won on the same weekend.

No doubt at Mallala, the top of the table Magpies set about re-instating their position and reputation as the 2009 pacesetters - a 70-point demolition of the fourth placed Hummocks/Watchman Eagles certainly helped their cause.

Mallala’s running game did the majority of the damage against

the Eagles as they ran hard all day and worked in numbers to see off a fellow expectant 2009 finalist and in the process re-advance to three games clear of the still fourth placed Eagles. n Continued Page 23
