STAR OF THE NORTH

Griffiths Liberal deputy candidate Local State Member of Parliament, Steven Griffiths, will this morning contest the Deputy Leadership of the Liberal Party.

Goyder MP, Mr Griffiths, stood for the position at last weekend’s party meeting after then Opposition Leader, Martin Hamilton Smith, defeated his deputy, Vickie Chapman, by just one vote.

Legal affairs spokesperson Isobel Redmond won the deputy position over Mr Griffiths, 9 votes to 5.

However, shortly after the result was announced Mr Hamilton-Smith called for a second vote to be held

By Karen Petney today and on Monday he announced he would stand down and not recontest the ballot.

At the time of going to press, three MPs had put up their hand for the top job, including Member for Bragg, Ms Chapman, newly appointed deputy, Member for Heysen, Isobel Redmond and Member for MacKillop, Mitch Williams.

Mr Griffiths said he would throw his hat in the ring to contest the Deputy Leadership.

“Being factionally unaligned and recognised as a free-thinker, I thought it was now or never,” he said.

Mr Griffiths said he was disappointed at the events that had transpired, and “has enormous respect” for Mr Hamilton-Smith, who he commended for the 27 months of hard work he gave to the party.

When asked about his plans for the future, Mr Griffiths said he did not have plans to retire, saying he made a 16 year commitment to the position when elected.

“My greatest honour is to rep-

resent the people of Goyder and I plan to do the right thing by the community for as long as I hold the position,” he said.

Liberal MPs are hoping today’s vote will put to bed the unrest and uncertainty plaguing the Liberal Party, and clear the way for the new leader to get some runs on the board in the lead up to the March 20, 2010 state election.

Mr Griffiths holds the shadow portfolios of Finance, Economic Development, Industry and Trade, Public Sector Management and Federal/State Relations.

Schools merge

Balaklava parents say ‘yes’ – but Riverton rejects plan

Get your FREE tickets!

By Lauren Parker Parents in Balaklava have shown overwhelming support for the merger of the primary and high schools.

However, in Riverton, a poll of parents showed an entirely different result, and the proposed amalgamation of Riverton Primary and Riverton and District High schools will be scrapped.

Four schools polled parents last Wednesday, with vastly different results.

Parents, students and staff welcomed the amalgamation in Balaklava, with 86 per cent voting in favour.

High school principal Mark Healy said the support had been significant.

“The community overwhelmingly agreed to go ahead with the amalgamation,” he said.

LOOKING forward: BHS student leader Jane Harding, primary principal, Dale Gathercole, BHS student leader Louise Read, high school principal, Mark Healy, BPS student leader Tenneal White, high school governing council chair, Mick Henderson, BPS student leader Brandon Taylor and primary school governing council chair, Steve Guy. Mr Healy said it had been a 25-year journey to this point.

“It started in 1984 when the Plains Producer published

an article about a proposed merger,” he said.

The results of the poll have now been put to the Department of Education

and Children’s Services for endorsement.

“The final part of this process before approval is given is whether the treasury gives

us the nod of approval to say yes, we’ll fund the redevelopment,” Mr Healy said.

recent address to the National Press Club in Canberra

by News Limited’s chairman and chief executive, John Hartigan, stirred some emotions.

Hartigan got straight to the point – and his words might not have been digested very well by the scores of big-city journalists listening to him.

The message, in a nutshell, was that newspapers in this digital age needed to take “a complete rethink of the very essence of what is ‘news’.”

Remember, this was reported in News Limited’s South Australian daily newspaper, The Advertiser, and probably in most other News Ltd papers around Australia. So there’s no doubting there was an intended “warts and all” message aimed directly at journalists – many of whom are employed by News Ltd. Hartigan related how thousands of news room jobs were being shed throughout the world-wide newspaper industry.

NEWS v District

Two Wells part of ‘greater plan’ Two Wells and Buckland Park have been recognised for potential residential growth in the State government’s draft Plan for Greater Adelaide, which stretches into the District Council of Mallala area.

The plan considers growth for the next 30 years in preparation for significant population growth, and backed by the biggest investment in public transport and infrastructure, will position SA as the nation’s most competitive and efficient economy, according to Premier Mike Rann.

“In 1837 Colonel William Light prepared the first urban plan for Adelaide,” said Mr Rann.

“It stood this stage in good stead for more

than 100 years until the next major planning review in the 1960s to cater for the baby boom.

“It was visionary. Today, Adelaide is regarded as one of the most liveable cities in the world with one of the best plans in the world.”

Mr Rann said now was the right time for another update because of the project boom in population and economic growth, along with climate and demographic changes.

“This vision, and our commitment to longterm infrastructure investment and improving the efficiency of the State’s Planning System, is already paying dividends,” Mr Rann said.

The 30-year Plan for Greater Adelaide was unveiled for public consultation on Monday,

and comes after extensive consultation with local government. Copies can be viewed at www.plan4adelaide.sa.gov.au and submissions must be made by September 30.

“The plan will guide where people live, how South Australia will grow its population and how it will create jobs,” Mr Rann said.

“It provides population and land supply estimates, and will direct transport and infrastructure priorities, future budget settings and service planning for the next several decades.”

Minister for Urban Planning and Development, Paul Holloway, said the plan was a blueprint to address the challenges of population growth, an ageing population, climate

change, technological change, environmental preservation, economic growth and growing global interdependence.

The plan will provide for 560,000 new residents, 258,000 new homes and 282,000 new jobs.

The Local Government Association welcomed the launch of the draft plan.

LGA president Mayor Felicity-ann Lewis said local government needed to be assured the three spheres of government would work together to ensure the development and ongoing maintenance of current and new infrastructure was well researched and appropriately funded.

He made his mark as a postmaster, now ...

Les turns to timber I

n a Balaklava shed, stacks of timber wait to be crafted into bowls, salt and pepper grinders, and other forms.

In a hobby developed from curiosity, retired postmaster Les Masson spends hours in his back shed working at his lathe.

It’s a laborious process, with Les hand selecting pieces of timber to be crafted, storing them for up to two years to ensure they have dried sufficiently and won’t warp after being shaped.

“I love experimenting with different types of timber, especially ones with a good grain,” Les said.

His favourite to work with is mulga, although it’s hard to come by.

And for Les, it’s not simply appreciating the finished product, but also gaining an understanding of how each type of timber gains some of the characteristics that sets it apart.

Other favourites include olive, apricot, plum, walnut, and almost any fruit tree.

Then there was an experiment with a banksia nut, which was shaped into a characteristic clock

By Lauren Parker – but not before a shower of seeds flew across the shed as it was shaped on the lathe!

Les developed his wood turning hobby after his son moved to Roxby Downs, leaving behind the lathe he had been bought for his 21st birthday.

“It sat there for about 12 months until Mary (Les’s wife) said why don’t you go and take a few lessons,” Les said.

He doesn’t claim to be an expert, but enjoys crafting pens, salt and pepper grinders, bowls, bottle stoppers, clocks, and other objects which are sold through the Balaklava Courthouse Gallery and the Daisy Patch as well as in a store in Auburn.

Before his retirement, Les worked with Australia Post for 48 years. (See our feature on Australia Post’s 200 years on page 13.)

“I started as a telegram boy and went up through the ranks to finish as a postmaster,” Les said.

His first appointment as a postmaster was at Marree - just two weeks after he had married Mary.

Mallala rates up as new projects start Mallala ratepayers can expect an average rate rise of 5.4 per cent after District Council of Mallala adopted its 2009/2010 budget on Monday evening.

Council will raise $5.2 million from rates, an increase of 6.9 per cent on last year.

However, about 1.5 per cent of this is made up of growth, including new housing and subdivisions, meaning other property rates will only rise by an average of 5.4 per cent.

Included in the budget is the rebuild of the council works depot in Mallala, coming in at $980,000 this year, and a similar amount is expected to be budgeted for the following year.

The Middle Beach Boat Ramp is also included, budgeted at $442,000, however a significant amount of this is grant funding which has already been secured.

Dublin residents will soon see the beginning of stage three of the

Dublin Streetscape project, at a cost of $150,000.

Other road projects include the construction of Bailey Road East, Two Wells, coming in at $250,000.

Another $220,000 road funding is yet to be allocated to specific projects, but may include a pedestrian crossing at the junction of the railway and the Gawler to Two Wells road.

Road resealing comes in at $190,000; resheeting of roads at $397,000; and paving at Mallala and Two Wells at $10,000.

In Lewiston, $25,000 has been allocated to construct crossovers. In addition, $50,000 has been budgeted for building renewal maintenance, and $10,000 to improve disabled access.

The Mallala urban hub - where the old stone building was demolished at the corner of Redbanks and Wasleys roads - has an allocation of $50,000, although council is seeking alternative funding to create a public area.

The three year appointment turned into six, and the couple battled trying conditions.

“There was no electricity - we had a kerosene fridge,” Les said.

Then there were the horrific dust storms.

“Mary used to worry about the dust coming in but Tom Kruse’s wife Val told her to leave the front and back door open and the dust would pass right through,” he said.

“We used to wheelbarrow the dust out. We sat in our kitchen at the back of the post office and couldn’t see each other across the kitchen table for dust.”

The couple then shifted to Curramulka, Laura, and finally Balaklava from 1973 til retirement in 1995. Since then, Les has been busier than ever with wood turning, a stint as president of the golf club, crosswords, and the Northern Woodturners, who meet at Golden Grove High School on the fourth Saturday of every month.

Northern Woodturners is affiliated with Wood Group SA, who will be part of the Building and Home Improvements Show at Wayville this weekend.

Balaklava schools to merge • From Page 1 “The community has recognised the need to embrace change and sees the real potential for fantastic opportunities in this region.”

Mr Healy said the timing was great because of the influx of economic stimulus funding.

He said the recent announcement of a new science centre, trade training centre and other school maintenance together totalling more than $3 million would continue to be progressed, with work likely to begin next term.

“It will absolutely enrich the opportunities we have in terms of developing our facilities and education opportunities,” Mr Healy said.

Balaklava Primary School governing council chair, Steve Guy, has children attending both the primary and high schools, and is pleased with the decision.

“It’s sensational for both schools, students and the community,” he said.

He believes the broader community will benefit from the new library, while students will enjoy new facilities and developing relationships with older students.

Mr Guy was also very pleased by the number of votes returned, saying the level of parent participation was fantastic.

Balaklava Primary School leaders Brandon Taylor and Tenneal White were pleased with the

news of the merger. “It would be an advantage for Balaklava to use this opportunity,” said Brandon.

“We’ll have new classrooms and all new stuff.

“It’s a great opportunity to have a middle school because I think the year seven kids are a bit older and need to move up.”

Tenneal agreed.

“It will be a really good idea,” she said.

Tenneal and Brandon both joined school staff on a tour of Ocean View College, which merged reception to year 12 schools successfully.

She sees increased facilities as a particular advantage.

“It will be good to have a science lab,” Tenneal said.

Balaklava Primary School principal, Dale Gathercole, said 86 per cent of parents at each school had voted in favour of the amalgamation.

“It’s an exciting opportunity for not just the schools, but for the community,” she said.

Mrs Gathercole said education had always been a very strong aspect of Balaklava.

“We’re 132 years old this year,” she said.

“Education has always been delivered very proudly in Balaklava and it’s always had that very strong community connection.

“The way our parents have so overwhelmingly supported this re-enforces that.”

Mrs Gathercole said the community had a strong involvement and understanding of the proposed amalgamation, with several community meetings.

Students have also been keeping track of developments, and the year six and seven students are particularly excited.

Mrs Gathercole believes students from both schools will benefit from increased interaction with other age groups.

And the option is still open for the children’s centre to also amalgamate in the future.

“If down the track, they are still interested, I think it would be brilliant for them to have that opportunity,” she said.

“I can certainly see a strengthening of the child care, pre school, and primary school connection.”

Having previously worked at Blyth Primary School where the primary school and pre-school are situated together, Mrs Gathercole said it was great to watch the older children looking out for the younger ones, which she believes will occur in Balaklava through the amalgamation.

Mrs Gathercole said another benefit of the amalgamation process was the discussions with parents and community members and ideas and suggestions put forward to improve the school community.

An architect is currently working on possible designs to

merge the two schools, and will also consider the best way to place the facilities to be built by both schools following various funding announcements this year.

It is not yet known if the two schools will merge administrations, but Mrs Gathercole said she could see definite advantages if that were to occur.

The merger now needs to be approved by State government to continue.

Minister’s support Minister for Education, Jane Lomax-Smith, said a number of SA schools had been voluntarily investigating options of restructure.

“Many communities have been exploring local options for change that seek to make the best use of the major injection of funds from the Australian government,” she said.

“It’s great to see communities embrace discussion and to witness local decision making in action.

“I fully support the decision of local school communities because they know what’s best for their communities.”

Dr Lomax-Smith said from the beginning, they had been locally-driven and voluntary discussions and the decision making process had rested with local school and pre-school communities.

RPA president, Andrew Michael, said intending workers should come along with equipment to remove pigeon droppings from seats and possibly start repairs on the seated area.

“Volunteers should make sure they come prepared with gloves and necessary safety gear,” Andrew said.

Anyone who feels they can help in

some way this Friday should attend.

Work may continue over a period of weeks as repairs are assessed.

Balaklava Area Committee chairman, Terry Williams, said the day was the first step to get the stand up and running for the football finals in September and Balaklava Show.

“It is very likely other days will be organised over the next few weeks, so any who cannot make it on Friday should keep an eye on the Plains Producer for further notices,” he said.

NEWS v District

Luke is one of the first to lend a hand

Let’s get over there to help Callignee mates VOLUNTEERS are being called upon to form “working parties” to help rebuild areas destroyed by bushfires in Victoria.

As Wakefield’s “Adopt-a-Town” scheme gathers pace, it is hoped local farmers – and anyone else – will travel to small townships during August to help rebuild fences or work on other projects.

Joy Woodroofe, the Owen woman behind the scheme within Wakefield Regional Council (WRC) area, said fencing was one of the real needs for residents of Callignee and Traralgon South, which had been “adopted” by towns in our council region.

“I am in constant communication with Adam Lambert, of the Callignee Bushfire Recovery Committee, and it is fencing which is one of their highest priorities,” Joy said.

“But they also could do with

By Terry Williams some help in many other ways, so if anyone wants to go there and spend a few days helping out, then they would be most welcome.”

Joy will supply contact and accommodation details. Call her on 8528 6365.

The “Adopt-a-town” committee has decreed August as the month when “rolling” fencing groups could travel to Callignee.

Joy’s husband David Woodroofe, who is community development officer for WRC, will act as the contact for anyone wanting to declare an interest.

He can be contacted through the council office on 8862 0800.

“The idea is to have groups “rostered” to go to Callignee during August to assist with fencing and

WE HEARD n Flying high! A Balaklava family has been reunited with their feathered friend after their adventurous budgie set off on a six kilometre flight from Balaklava.

The budgie managed to escape the Oliver’s Balaklava home on Friday night, and when he didn’t return, the family was more than a little worried.

But he was found by farmers Michael and Roweena Tiller, who approached this newspaper to find its owner.

“It really made our day,” said Nicole Oliver. “It’s unbelievable.”

The family had dedicated hours each night to training the bird, and were devastated at its loss. They thanked the Tillers for looking after the budgie and making the effort to find its owners. And they tracked down their feathered friend last Wednesday through the Plains Producer. Your local community newspaper! n Cheque out! Owen’s Philomena Clark was the lucky winner of thousands of dollars cash recently.

She was ecstatic to hear she had won $20,000 through a Foodland competition she entered through the Balaklava store. There have also been several minor prize winners in the area from Foodland customer competitions.

any other task that may be on their “to do” list,”David said.

“That time of year probably is reasonably suitable to farmers who can get away for a few days.”

Callignee is about 180km southeast of Melbourne.

David also is hoping to link local community groups like CWA, Lions, craft groups, community sheds etc with Callignee groups.

“For example, we have Chooks and Chicks, a great craft group at Port Wakefield, which I know is interested in forming a bond with like-minded people in Callignee.”

This aspect of the scheme is one of Joy’s original concepts for “Adopt-a-Town,” where it brings local communities together, whilst at the same time helping bushfire victims.

Joy said hundreds of beanies, scarves, gloves, hats and rugs had been collected during the recent

“Beanie Day” throughout local towns. “We sent about a pallet load to Callignee for distribution,” Joy said.

“I cannot begin to thank the wonderful people of our area for their donations,” Joy said.

“And I would particularly like to thank Terry Corcoran, from Osctrot Carriers in Balaklava, who transported the beanies to Melbourne and Gary Hosking, from Balaklava Transport, for also helping with the delivery process.”

Within the next few days a semitrailer load of hay will be delivered to Callignee.

Bales have been donated by Gilmac and Balco and again will be delivered courtesy of Osctrot Carriers.

The hay will help feed stock on smaller farms throughout the area, many of which have not as yet received assistance.

Owen farmer Luke Marshman (pictured) was one of the first to put his hand up and volunteer to be part of a fencing party.

The 20-year-old is enthusiastic about the opportunity to help out interstate.

Other locals can also help out, even if they aren’t able to make the trip for hands-on work in August.

A ‘caravan convoy’ may be needed to assist with accommodation while groups head to Callignee to help out.

It has been suggested the first group could take the vans over, and the last group return with them. As accommodation is tight, volunteers are likely to be required to stay at Traralgon and travel to Callignee each day, a distance of about 11km.

And the generosity of locals through the Adopt-a-Town project will certainly be appreciated.

In Victoria, Gippsland Lions club member Graham Cockerell said the region had missed out on bushfire relief because media coverage had concentrated on other areas.

Graham is the Need for Feed co-ordinator and Lions Club of Pakenham president.

“The public perception is that Black Saturday only happened in Kinglake and Marysville,” he said.

“The Churchill-Callignee area fire, with 11 dead and 187 homes burned, is at least as bad as the worst of the other fires. There is virtually nothing left.”

Thousands of kilometres of fencing needs to be replaced, with only a small portion funded.

The Gippsland V3 Lions District Emergency Fund has already issued more than $200,000 in vouchers to Gippsland families for household goods, and Lions are seeking funds and materials for farm fencing and fodder donations.

Gourmets gallop away with funding Clare Valley Gourmet weekend is one of 39 regional events and festivals to receive a share of $665,000 in funding to assist with raising the profile of regional South Australia.

Events attracting interstate and overseas visitors were given priority in the allocation of this years Regional Events and Festivals Program and Community Events Development Fund.

Yorke Regional Development Board Economic Development Officer, Bridget Sara, said lack of interstate and overseas visitor numbers to the Adelaide Plains Cup Festival meant it would not qualify for funding this year, so application was not made.

Ms Sara said the Cup Festi-

briefLY val would rely on sponsorship again this year.

Dev Boards still in dark The deal is done – but O’Loan questions an uncertain future Questions still remain over funding and staffing arrangements for Regional Development Australia, a body to be formed with the merger of development boards and area consultative committees.

Development boards and ACCs will continue under their existing arrangements until December, but the new bodies, aimed at bringing a coordinated approach between the three tiers of government, are still causing concern.

Yorke Regional Development Board chair and Mallala farmer Ian

By Lauren Parker O’Loan met with former premier Rob Kerin last week.

Mr Kerin is working with regional development boards and other organisations through the transitional period.

Mr O’Loan said while it had been said in Parliament that existing staff would be retained, this could not be confirmed.

He hopes to arrange a meeting with Minister for Regional Development, Paul Caica, within the next week to clarify concerns.

“There’s so much

uncertainty,” Mr O’Loan said.

“I don’t want to pick a fight with government unnecessarily, but I want to protect the people we’ve got employed within the boards.

“We’ve got no real clarification of where we’re going.”

Mr O’Loan said the situation was different for areas which only had one board, but the local area had three that would be merging into one (being Yorke and Mid North RDBs and Sturt Area Consultative

Committee). He is also pushing for existing shop fronts to be kept open, which was part of the original concept.

And while it is known that State government will uphold the current level of funding under the new structure, there is no indication yet of the level of funding to come from Federal government.

“Until such a time as we get that, it’s very hard for us to put models together as to what can be offered,” Mr O’Loan said.

“We’re still very much up in the air.”

New look coming for Hamley Bridge:

Light street upgrade WAITING for a “new” street are Bianca Wastell, Samantha and Jack Marritt.

Negotiations on the long awaited upgrade of Hamley Bridge’s main street are almost complete and it is anticipated the upgrade will commence in just over a month.

The beautification of Light Street will include the establishment of a centre median, traffic management protuberances and pedestrian crossovers.

Wakefield Regional Council has been working with the Hamley Bridge Community Association to address concerns.

The streetscape complies with Australian standards and is not expected to impact on traffic flow or delivery vehicles and the amount of parking space will not change.

To assist residents get their

By Karen Petney head around the proposal, Council marked the median strip some weeks ago.

Since then, plans have changed slightly to ensure CFS vehicles have unrestricted access.

Sonya Mutch, from Hamley Bridge Takeaway said she thought the pedestrian crossing were a great idea, especially for kids and the elderly, however she is worried about buses and trucks not having enough room and possibly having to use residential streets to get through town.

“I have spoken to a few truck drivers who weren’t happy, because they will no longer be able to use the main street.

“I can see they are trying to pretty up the town, which is great, but I’m just worried it will cause more trouble than it is worth,” she said.

Council plans however, show the upgrade allows a 2.5 metre wide parking lane, 3.5 metre wide through lane and a 1.8 metre wide island.

Lisa Martin, from Hamley Bridge Chemplus said the upgrade has been a 10 year saga and it was great to see something being done.

“There has been a lot of work getting the right plan for the street, and it couldn’t come at a better time, with two new businesses opening in the street,” she said.

“It will be a really good thing for Hamley Bridge.”

Pictured (from left) are Wendy Campana, executive director Local Government Association; Maxine McKew, Parliamentary Secretary for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government; and Paul Caica, State Minister for Regional Development.

While the existing boards are to continue until December, a transitional board will be formed.

“We haven’t actually

got confirmation of how these new boards can be put together, other than being told expressions of interest will be advertised for.”

Mr O’Loan said suggestions had been made to both State and local governments about how the new boards should be constructed.

Big cash handout for ‘high rainfall’ group The Mid North High Rainfall Zone (MNHRZ) Group will benefit from almost $370,000 funding through the Caring for our Country program for environmental and sustainable farming projects.

The Federal government funding program was announced last Friday, totalling $403 million for numerous projects across Australia.

Agrilink Consultants, project manager for the MNHRZ Group, will receive $368,160 in funding.

Member for Wakefield, Nick Champion, said local projects would play an important role in protecting Australia’s natural resources – the farming land, water, plants and ani-

mals. “Here in Wakefield, the funding will be used to look at the sustainable management of soil and ground cover in the face of a changing climate,” Mr Champion said.

“Caring for our Country has set ambitious targets and includes a clear list of national priorities to help achieve maximum targets.

“It has revolutionised the way we invest in natural resource management by cutting red tape, which makes more funding available for on-the-ground work and increasing transparency.”

SPECIAL FEATURE v Motoring

Free driving lessons a key to saving lives The national rollout of “keys2drive” – an innovative driver education program which will provide up to 200,000 free driving lessons to learner drivers and their parents – has begun.

Federal Minister for Transport, Anthony Albanese, made the announcement in Launceston last week – appropriate given the roll out will start in Tasmania before moving to the other states and territories from September.

Keys2drive will provide learner drivers and a parent or mentor with a free professional driving lesson from an accredited instructor;.

It also supports parents and mentors with instructional material and practical guidance on how to provide effective supervision and training to a learner driver; There is an interactive website

ONE of the driving games able to be played on line at www. keys2 drive. com.au offering short instructional videos, educational games and the location of their nearest accredited driving instructor. It is Australia’s first national accreditation scheme for driving instructors.

Mr Albanese said young people

were at greater risk of being involved in a fatal car accident than drivers from any other age group, with nearly a third of people killed on Australian roads aged 16 to 25.

“In fact, young people go from being one of the safest drivers when

Danger period with capital ‘P’

on their Ls to being the most likely to have a crash the moment they get their P plates,” he said.

Keys2drive gives extra incentive for novice drivers to get more on-the-road experience as well as assist those supervising them to become better informed and more confident. The program is a practical way of equipping young people with the skills they need for a lifetime of safer driving.

Keys2drive has been developed by the Australian Automobile Association (AAA), the Royal Automobile Club of Tasmania and other motoring clubs around Australia, with funding from the Federal government and support from the driver training industry.

• For more information about the program: www.keys2drive.com.au.

Learner drivers’ risk of being harmed in a crash increases, on average, 20 to 30 times immediately they gain their provisional driver’s licence.

But before that, while on their Ls, they are in the safest category of road users; L platers are harmed less than any other group.

In under an hour – about the time it takes to sit and pass a provisional licence test – learner drivers move from being statistically the safest drivers on the road to the most at risk. Newly licensed drivers are vulnerable for two main reasons: While learning they are supported, guided and protected by supervisors and instructors. In the process, they are often protected from a full sense of their own responsibility.

After they are licensed, new drivers face a range of situations they have never experienced – and are then alone with little training in how to adapt to new difficulties.

The Keys2drive program will encourage learning that is longer, providing more hours at the wheel, allowing young drivers to experience more driving challenges.

Blyth Veterinary Lodge – 1933 We’ve all heard about the Freemasons Lodge, the Buffalo Lodge, I.O.O.F., Rechabites etc., but what about a Veterinary Lodge?

Yes, a Veterinary Lodge.

The Blyth history book tells of the Blyth Veterinary Lodge being formed in 1933.

“It came about through a discussion at a meeting of the local Agricultural Bureau, followed by a public meeting, which elected the Hon. A Lyell McEwin, MLC

Heritage Highlights

by Norma Schopp

as President, Mr. K.E. Thomas, Secretary and Mr. A.J. Webber as the Veterinary Officer.”

The year commenced on April 1, and annual membership fees

ranged from 10/6 for 1-3 head of stock to four guineas (four pounds, four shillings) for more than 30 head of stock.

“A member could have the veterinary services as many times as necessary at no extra charge.

Other privileges were - horses teethed free and medicines at cost price.

The services were well used as the Vet reported in April 1934, that he had attended 250 cases in eight months.”

Long, low and loyal – the Basset Hound The Basset Hound is one of the oddities of the canine world with his long, low body, short legs, soulful expression and extremely long ears. The word “Basset” is French and means “low set, stunted or dwarfed”. The first mention of the “Basset” breed appears in 1585 when it was recorded that there were two types of Basset – the straight- legged and the crooked-legged.

The crooked-legged dogs went to ground to flush game from dens while the straight-legged ran game above ground and hunted in much the same way as terriers.

The crooked-legged dog was favoured by many hunters because it’s construction prevented it from pursuing the quarry quickly, but it had excellent scenting abilities, and therefore chased the game slowly and surely, presenting a better target for the waiting sportsman than a fast moving animal. The game usually hunted by Bassets was smaller deer, rabbits and hares, and sometimes wild boar.

Prior to the French Revolution, hunting with packs of hounds was a popular pastime of royalty and aristocracy. The hunt was a medieval pageant of pomp and etiquette and much thought was given to the scientific breeding of hounds.

After the Revolution, the large estates and hunting establishments were disbanded and the

hounds dispersed.

With the eventual restoration of the monarch in the form of Louis XV111, the aristocracy re-established and resumed the breeding of hounds and hunting, but many of the varieties of Bassets had become

extinct.

The first French dog show was held in Paris in 1863 and there were classes for “Bassets of all kinds” – straight-legged, long-legged, crooked-legged short-haired, crooked-legged long haired, Illyrian and Hungarian, Baden, Burgos and St Domingo.

The first Basset Hounds to come to Australia arrived in 1880 with a well-known English breeder who left England due to ill-health.

During the four years he resided in Melbourne he organised the importation of many Bassets representative of the finest blood in England. He formed the Melbourne Hunt Club In Surrey Hills and the Bassets were hunted by a small band of enthusiasts. Unfortunately the breed failed to gain support and the breed died out in Australia until it was re-introduced in 1957 in N.S.W. Now one of the better known breeds, due mostly to the cartoon dog “Fred Bassett”, it is loyal, docile and dignified but also slow thinking and slow moving and owners must be patient and understanding – they are a breed for the connoisseur.

Despite its popularity, the Veterinary Lodge seems to have gone out of existence with the death of the Vet, Mr AJ Webber, in January 1940 and, as it was war time, the service was never reinstated.

A footnote about Mr Webber – he was Secretary of the Blyth/ Kybunga Agricultural & Horticultural Society in 1924, was the President of Blyth Football Club in 1919, and was also a prominent and successful horse trainer at Morphettville.

His life unmatched The deeds of Jesus have no equal.

First, through a single prayer he fully catered for 5000 people.

After taking five loaves and two fish, “he looked up to heaven, blessed and broke the loaves…All ate and were filled” and food was even left over – “they took up twelve baskets full”! Mark 6.41-44.

Second, with a single cry, a storm at sea was immediately stilled when Jesus called out, “Peace, be still!” Mark 4.39.

Third, by a single touch he healed a leper.

“Jesus, moved with compassion, put out his hand and touched him…immediately the leprosy left him” Mark 1.40-42.

Fourth, with a single word – Go!” – Jesus drove demons from a demonpossessed man.

Good News with Ken Packer, L.Th.

Matthew 8.32.

Fifth, with a single shout Jesus publicly raised the dead.

He called “with a loud voice, ‘Lazarus, come forth!’ and he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes.” John 11.43-44.

By his spirit, Jesus still works miracles in human lives – not now in just one place on earth, but worldwide.

Through a single act here, a single word there, or a single unexpected provision, he is doing powerful things in millions of lives every day!

In brief Jesus said, “I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Matthew 28.20.

Sam’s flag tours Afghanistan Sam Lacey is flying the Australian flag for Balaklava during his third deployment to Afghanistan.

The former Balaklava high student is a warrant officer and loadmaster on C13 Hercules.

Sam, 32, has been back in Afghanistan for a month and has taken with him his mother Marion’s

Australian flag and a promise it will fly on many missions.

The flag spent the first couple of years of its life in a cupboard, waiting for the man of the house, Sam’s father, Tim, to erect a flagpole. As there had been no movement on the flagpole, Marion decided to give it to Sam. True to his word, Sam has

Broken Hill to help our Broadband connection construction of a new, fibre-based broadband link to Broken Hill could have benefits locally.

Broken Hill was listed as one of six priorities under the first round of regional locations for the $250 million priority rollout of the National Broadband Network.

Over several years, the Central Local Government Region and the Mid North Regional Development Board have been working with State and Federal government to pursue a better broadband deal for rural residents.

CLGR executive officer, Anita Crisp, said there were significant opportunities for the project to pick up a number of local communities if the fibre route from Broken Hill was linked back to Adelaide.

“In order to provide the broadband backbone infrastructure to Broken Hill, there needs to be a connection back to a capital city,” Ms Crisp said.

“We’ve been working hard in recent months to promote a link from

Broken Hill back to Adelaide as a solid and viable solution to the Federal Government with the added bonus of the fibre construction passing through some of our communities, like Peterborough, Jamestown, Burra, Clare, Kapunda and the Barossa along the way.”

Mid North Regional Development Board chief executive officer, KellyAnne Saffin, agreed, saying it would provide unprecendented access to competitive backbone infrastructure on an open access, equitable basis that would allow retail broadband providers to expand further into the region.

“This is a real opportunity to stimulate competition and better broadband services in our area, and in particular those areas which are currently underserviced,” she said.

A competitive tender to construct, operate and maintain the backbone links has been called by the Federal government, with construction to begin

by September.

Call 132 500 for SES

Residents are reminded to call 132 500 if they require SES assistance for incidents such as fallen trees, flooding, storm damage or similar.

Emergency services across the State received in excess of 1,000 calls for assistance during last week’s wild weather, which also hit Balaklava.

Many of these were at the beginning of the extreme weather and consequently there were some delays in getting through to an operator.

Other general SES numbers should not be called during these times – as this will not speed up the process – all calls for assistance must be made by calling 132 500. However, if the matter is life threatening 000 should be called.

started sending back photographs of the flag on deployment.

“When my flag returns it will have many stories to tell, but will no doubt keep them hidden within the folds of its proud history,” Marion said.

As a warrant officer and loadmaster it is Sam’s job is to plan the cargo and passenger placement to keep the aircraft within centre of gravity limits throughout flight.

Tactically, loadmasters are very important as their decisions can directly affect combat readiness by determining load order of the aircraft. During his career Sam has been deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan and undertaken special training in America.

When back in Australia Sam lives with partner, Sarah, in Sydney. Sam will return in September – and a visit to mum and dad is expected.

his year Australia Post is celebrating 200 years of service to Australian citizens.

And Saddleworth post office has been operating for 158 years – one of the first in the region.

Australian postal services began in 1809 when former convict Isaac Nichols was appointed the nation’s first post master, establishing the first official post office in Sydney.

Postal services were officially established in Saddleworth 42 years later in 1851 (two years before the town was proclaimed), although it is believed they were provided in some form as early as 1845.

In 1854 mail was despatched from Saddleworth three times a week and postage cost four pence. The mail service increased in frequency to daily by 1861.

The first post office opened in Siekmann and Moule’s General Store in 1861 where it traded until the new purposebuilt post office opened on April 12, 1878.

At an August 1873 town meeting on the need for a new post office building, Post Master Moule reported nearly 20,000 letters and newspapers passed through the post office monthly.

Australia Post State Communications manager, Joshua Zugajev, said the corporation was

Australia’s oldest continually operating commercial organisation.

“The postal service of today is something Saddleworth’s early post masters could never have imagined. Today, we serve about a million customers in our postal outlets every day, deliver mail to 10.5 million addresses across Australia and last year carried 5.6 billion items.”

Australia Post supplied the following history snapshot of some of our local post offices: BalaklavA: A post office was established in Balaklava on March 1, 1871. First post master was W J Wood,

“Letters have been the link between the home front and foreign shores during wartime; they tell the stories of newly arrived immigrants beginning a new life, of sporting triumphs, political upheavals and artistic triumphs,” he said.

Letters will be uploaded to a dedicated website which will become an educational resource to preserve these letters for future generations.

Counting down to retirement David is at the barrier and set to jump into the easy life

By Lauren Parker

S

ome may see his job as simply mowing lawns, but for more than 22 years, Balaklava’s David Appleby has held the important job of keeping the race track in tip top shape for racing.

But the Balaklava Racing Club groundsman will perform his duties for the last time at the Thursday race meeting tomorrow, trading the lawn mowing for retirement.

David began his role in December 1986, and as the racing club, and particularly the annual cup meeting, continues to grow, so too does the workload.

“It’s a lot busier around cup time,” he said.

“There’s fencing to put up around marquees, and a lot to do.”

Before each race meeting, David readies the track and the grounds in preparation.

And even when there’s no racing, there is no time

for idleness. “It’s definitely full time, especially in the summer when the lawns are growing,” he said.

“You can’t let it go or there’s too much to do to get it back to what it should be.

You have to keep up with it all the time.”

But there’s no time to sit around and relax on race day, even if the track is in top shape.

“I’m usually keeping

up the track, making sure everything is going properly, pulling out chutes and false rails, keeping the track organised.”

But with his retirement, David is planning a life of

leisure. “I want to sit around and do nothing for a while,” he said.

A holiday to Perth is also planned, when David will visit his brother.

It’s been a while since

he’s had more than a fortnight away from work at a time.

Now David is looking forward to being able to pack his bags and head out of Balaklava.

Mallala rewarded for water campaign District Council of Mallala has been recognised for its commitment to sustainable water management through its participation in the Water Campaign, an international freshwater management program.

DCM was one of 11 SA councils recognised at the Water Values - Council and Community Leadership day at Kadina last month.

The event was organised by ICLEI Oceania, an international not-for-profit organisation supporting local governments to achieve sustainable development through local action.

The award recognised council’s achievement of the first corporate milestone in the five-milestone program, which involves creating an inventory of water consumption

data and water quality issues influenced by council’s own activities and those of its community.

The inventory identifies areas where progress towards sustainable water management can be made, and the data is used to design a program of actions to achieve sustainable water management.

Council has participated in the Water Campaign program since 2006. ICLEI Oceania chief executive officer, Wayne Wescott, said water conservation was one of the most pressing concerns facing local governments.

“The Water Campaign demonstrates how local government can make a difference,” he said.

“Their combined efforts are delivering real benefits in sustain-

able water management across Australia.”

DCM is one of 121 local governments in Australia to join the Water Campaign. The program is delivered by ICLEI Oceania in collaboration with local and state governments, water authorities and Federal government.

In SA, the program is delivered with the support of the Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges, Northern and Yorke, and South Australian Murray-Darling Basin NRM boards in conjunction with the Central Local Government Region.

• RIGHT: Mallala council mayor, Tony Flaherty, is presented with a water management award by Geoff Brock, State MP for Frome.

‘Join the fight for youth allowance’ Federal Member for Grey, Rowan Ramsey, urges families to make a submission to the Senate Inquiry examining the impact of the Federal government’s changes to the Independent Youth Allowance criteria.

Currently students can receive Independent Youth Allowance if they work at least 15 hours per week for two years or they earn more than

$19,532 in an 18 month period since leaving school, enabling students to take a 12-month gap year before resuming tertiary education and qualifying for Youth Allowance.

However, under the changes students will have to work for a minimum 30 hours per week for 18 months over a two year period, forcing them to defer their studies for two full years

or work full time whilst studying. Mr Ramsey said the move would make it almost impossible for students to qualify for Independent Youth Allowance.

The Senate Inquiry will explore how the changes will impact on young rural and regional Australians seeking a tertiary education.

Written submissions are invited until August

7 and hearings will be held between August and September. Submissions can be made by writing to: The Committee secretary, Senate Standing Committee on Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport, PO Box 6100, Parliament House, Canberra ACT 2600.

The first stage of the race then continues to Kapunda, Greenock, Seppeltsfield, and ends in Tanunda.

Mr Blight said it was also great to be hosting the first day of the race, bringing added publicity and focus.

And as it will be the first time the Tour passes through the Clare Valley, he expects there to be plenty of interest from the professionals in the lead-up to the race as they look to familiarise themselves with the terrain.

Mr Blight said the call went out for potential Tour hosts following the 2009 tour, and council was eager to be part of it.

In addition, communities will be asked to take part in competing for the ‘best dressed town’ award.

“We’ll be encouraging people from our district to get on board and make a real spectacle of it and get involved,” Mr Blight said.

He said having part of the Tour in the Clare Valley would also create accessibility for those who in the past may not have attended because of distance.

Altitude (metres)

The world-renowned Tour Down Under will begin in the Clare Valley, boosting tourism and promoting the area around the world.

The race routes were unveiled last Friday at the official launch of the Tour Down Under.

Stage one of the 2010 Tour Down Under will begin in Clare on January 17, passing through eight Clare Valley towns includingAuburn, Saddleworth and Riverton, finishing in Kapunda.

“The 2009 Tour Down Under was the biggest in the event’s history, achieving crowds of more than three quarters of a million people and providing an economic boost of $39 million to the state,” said Minister for Transport, Patrick Conlon.

“The race is now clearly established on the world stage; kicking off the annual UCI Pro Tour calendar and attracting the best teams and riders to Adelaide each January.”

Mr Conlon said in addition to attracting thousands of visitors to SA, television coverage ensured footage was beamed to homes across the globe.

The 2010 race routes have been designed to travel from the north to the south of the State during the week of racing.

“This will be great for visitors, who may choose to spend a couple of days in the Clare Valley or Barossa to watch the first stages of the race, and then a few days in the Fleurieu Peninsula to watch the later stages,” Mr Conlon said.

He said support from local councils had been integral to the success of the event.

In Auburn, business owners and locals were excited of the news.

Clare and Gilbert Valleys Council chief executive officer, Roy Blight, said it was very exciting for the area to host the event.

“The opportunity for the Clare Valley to be part of a high class international event such as this is fantastic,” he said.

“People are very excited about it, and it provides a wonderful travel-log of the Clare Valley from Clare through to Penwortham, Watervale, Leasingham,

SPORT v Netball

Hummocks scrape through with win over Wells girls Hummocks v Two Wells

It was another tough game for Hummocks this week against Two Wells, just stepping over the mark with a one goal win, 46 – 45. It was a goal-for-goal game until half time. It looked to be an even game early on, though after the third quarter Hummocks pulled away.

“Two Wells didn’t play better than us, we just didn’t seem to be playing. We must have fallen asleep,” said Hummocks coach Cheryl Appleby.

The fourth quarter for Hummocks wasn’t a proud one.

There wasn’t much in their netball that was right, which let them down – otherwise they could’ve come away with quite a significant win. The Hummocks girls walked off the court disappointed. “Two Wells played all four quarters, whereas we only played three,” Cheryl said.

However it was a good game of netball to watch.

Melissa Moulds was best player for Hummocks and Karen Penhall for Two Wells.

Mallala v Virginia

Mallala took the win over Virginia, 52 – 44.

Virginia played well, keeping up with Mallala in the first quarter and fighting hard, though the second quarter Mallala had the lead and kept at a distance in front of Virginia.

Mallala’s Carla Jarmyn and Clare Bruggemann had the centre court under control, while Jayne Brown and Penny Mathew defended well. Virginia’s Rachel Phillips was awarded best player, and for Mallala Clare Bruggemann was best.

At the end of the first quarter the Balaklava girls had shot off to a massive 13-goal lead, 19 – 6.

Much of the same play followed in the second quarter, however due to Balaklava’s dominating defence, Hamley Bridge failed to score on several occasions.

Balaklava made many turnovers and stuck to strategic defensive play.

Ashley Nutt and Michelle Williams were substantial defence forces through centre court, Balaklava ending

the second quarter with a 22 goal lead, 39 – 17. Chelsea Koch, placed into goal defence in the third quarter, showed her defensive skills on the court, helping her team to score nine goals in a row. Hamley managed a few turnovers, winning them four consecutive goals at one point, but not enough to start closing the gap.

Balaklava left Hamley far behind in the last quarter.

The Balaklava girls kept up the intensity, scoring with precision taking seven goals straight before Hamley could reply. Gaynor Tink again drove well, dominating the court in the final quarter. Alison Schahinger was best for Hamley.

Balaklava girls too good for Hamley Bridge A1: In a high scoring game, Hamley Bridge fought to keep up with the pace of the Balaklava girls, but the home team dominated play until the final whistle.

Balaklava centre Gaynor Tink set a fast pace with fantastic drive along the court, while WA Carly Gregor worked the ball into the ring nicely.

Hamley fought hard to keep centre court defence tight, but Balaklava netted 19 in the first quarter to Hamley’s six.

GS Jenna Koch shot well

for the home team, while at the other end of the court, Tara Baldwin snatched plenty of rebounds, boosting Balaklava’s score to 39 against Hamley’s 17.

When Balaklava returned to the court in the second half, they were on a clear mission, shooting nine unanswered goals despite pressure through the centre from Hamley Bridge’s WA Kirsty Modra and WD Pamela Matschoss.

For the visitors, GA Sarah Koch shot accurately, but Balaklava stretched their lead, 57 to 25.

Balaklava goalie Eliza Cottle was becoming increasingly confident, shooting from anywhere in the circle.

Magpies crumble under Ram pressure A grade

Virginia extracted some kind of revenge for the last time these two teams met, defeating Mallala by eight points.

In a game where goals were hard to come by, Virginia for the most part held the lead. The Rams were able to repel the opposition’s pressure, and pull enough out of the bag to regain the lead and go on to register a hard fought victory, even with several players out. Mallala played minus co-captains Liam Whitwell (Central Zone duties), and Jason Earl, a late withdrawal, among others.

Recent rain had made the oval heavy in patches. It was a tough, hard, and tight opening 10 minutes. Rams were often found in front of their opponents, and were playing with plenty of desperation.

The home side was able to create space so that team mates often found other Rams unattended. Con Mylonopoulos put through the first Virginia goal. When full forward Shamus Schutt added the first of his three for the day, Virginia had gotten off to the start they wanted.

Even when Mallala were able to go into attack they failed to make the most of their opportunities.

Mallala had trouble finding their targets, leaving them goal-less in the first quarter.

Mathew Young, as expected, was in everything, Adrian Mark was rock solid and Ben Galic continued on with his good form. Christian Rimmer in top touch for Mallala, Brad Hardie with a good opening term. James Wildbore another to be enjoying a resurgence in form.

Mallala came out after the first break and went straight on the attack. Poor kicking continued to haunt the visitors, who had four behinds on the board before Daniel Feeley got their first. Brian Montgomery followed with a goal, and when Brad Griffiths goaled

from a free kick, Mallala led by seven points.

Adrian Mark in defence was up to the task, along with Graham Rigney and Christian Dorward.

Together they made the Mallala forwards and midfield work overtime. After the Griffiths goal, Virginia hit back. Anthony Bascombe was starting to prove a real handful, even more so when he goaled to put Virginia only two points down.

Bascombe was showing a good pair of hands in the conditions. Another Ram taking some good marks was Ben Galic – popping up everywhere and taking grabs that hurt Mallala.

The Pies also had difficulty keeping the quality of Anthony Johnston quiet. ‘Johnno’ was starting to pick up a fair few touches. Virginia added one more goal to regain the lead and hit half time with a six point buffer. While Mallala’s attacking efforts had returned three goals, they were still behind the eight ball. Anthony Johnston, Anthony Bascombe, and Graham Rigney were causing Mallala plenty of headaches. Ryan Montgomerie was at his best in defence keeping Mallala in the game. David Cawrse again putting in a big match. Liam Heeley continues to go about his business quietly but effectively.

Rarely is Heeley beaten.

Shortly after play resumed in the third term, a defensive error let Peter Mylonopoulos in for an easy goal. Anton Gerardis broke free to kick his first, putting Virginia nearly three goals clear.

Robert Montgomery, one of the quality Mallala defenders, followed the ball downfield and was instrumental in providing an assist to brother Brian Montgomery for his second goal. Brad Griffiths also put his second on the board, and it was back to a four point game. Kicking in by Graham Rigney was outstanding, virtually every time able to pinpoint an unattended team mate. Just when

Virginia 8-7 (55) d Mallala 6-11 (47) things looked to be going Virginia’s way, Mallala were always able to get themselves back in to the contest.

When Daniel Feeley got the first goal of the last quarter, Mallala had hit the front for the first time since the second quarter, doing plenty of attacking, however accuracy wasn’t their strong suit. On the other hand, Virginia kept the pressure on by playing in front. Marking by the Rams was excellent, the boys superior in the air. On a day where Mallala had few outstanding highlights, a one-handed pick-up on the run by Tim Cawrse was one on the best ever ‘wet ground’ efforts to be seen. But the Cawrse pick-up was soon overshadowed by two late goals to Virginia. More than a goal in front late in the game, Virginia could smell victory, coming home by eight points. There is much to anticipate about the next time these two teams meet at Mallala in late August.

the Rams had put themselves in a good position, only to see it all fall apart after half time. Mallala on the other hand looked as if they might have shot themselves in the foot, making hard work of their attacking moves and a real mess on the scoreboard, with the return of only four goals from 11 shots.

At half time, coach Crewdson gave the Mallala players a few home truths, made the necessary changes, and what had been hard yards in the first half suddenly began to look a lot easier – a five goal third term haul from the visitors, Virginia kept scoreless. In fact Virginia never looked likely to add to their score. A tick over three goals up at the final break, Mallala weren’t finished yet.

An early last quarter goal to Derek Tiller (his fourth), quickly followed by another to Brett Tucker, and Mallala now enjoyed a 32-point lead, the game out of the Rams’ grasp. A 50 metre penalty belatedly gave the Rams their eighth major, and when Steven Lioulios followed up with his third, Virginia may have given themselves a faint chance.

Kale Jamieson soon put paid to that with two goals. Both from tight angles, both under pressure, and both on the run, Kale had produced the goods just when Virginia was looking to get back into the match.

The Jamieson ‘double’ settled any arguments about who was going to win. A comfortable five goal win to Mallala.

Reece Kerr for his overall ball handling and skill level was best for Mallala. Daniel Jennings and Jon Clark just too much experience and again with a high skill level. Rhys Argent with plenty of run, Graeme White, and Chris

reserves

Mallala went into the reserves grade clash as warm favourites, sitting second on the ladder with seven wins and just the one loss, fourth-placed Virginia at three and five.

In what turned out to be a game of two distinct halves, Virginia took it right up to their more highly fancied opponents leading by a couple of goals at half time. That was before a Mallala second half onslaught saw the visitors boot nine goals to two. Unlike the underage games where Virginia was afflicted with only modest accuracy, the reserve side had no such troubles. With seven goals from the first nine shots

What’s The Score?

Virgina Nursery has the answer!

Hummel exceptional in defence.

Virginia had plenty who put in but had more difficulty with those that were effective for all four quarters.

Buddy Holland given the nod as the Rams’ best. Emmanuel Tsmiklis had plenty of touches along the spine of the ground, Ryan Starr, Beau Zito, Ben Farrugia, and Alex Leo. Robbie Iuliano was also kept busy in defence.

8am to 5pm

The senior colts looked set for a close tussle with both teams perched on three wins each, but it didn’t take long for Virginia to let Mallala know that the Rams thought they were much better than their ladder position indicated.

In a game that was a bit of a slog due to the conditions, the first half score showed Virginia just a tick over two goals in front, but their on-field superiority appeared much greater. Only 15 points in the lead at half time, but it should have been a lot more. Mallala stuck to their guns and hit back in their best quarter of football, but Virginia were able to steady, kicking away in the last quarter, Mallala held scoreless in the final term.

Shaun Solomon regularly features in Virginia’s best – this week no exception. Johnny Bogar and the improving Joshua Bradbrook were also prominent. Nic Seccafien, Christopher Hirniak, and captain Reggie Young helped ensure a Virginia victory. Nic Seccafien, Terry Lioulios, and Terry Sacoulidis the Rams multiple goal scorers. Mallala with all single goal kickers. Best players were the ever improving Lawrence Gosling, well supported

by Zane Priest, Kane Algar, Dale McLean, William Farrelly, and Lewis Helps.

Virginia ended the match with nearly three times the scoring shots of Mallala, this time Mallala’s accuracy not enough to save them from a beating. The Virginia victory keeps

Virginia Mallala

Virginia went within a cat’s whisker of causing the season’s biggest upset. At the foot of the table, and with only one win in 2009, Virginia failed by only three points to defeat Mallala, who have suffered only one defeat for the year. In spite of Virginia having more scoring shots, the accuracy of Mallala saw them scrape over the line. Mallala led from start to finish and held on in a nail-biting last quarter. Virginia with two goals from multiple opportunities. Mallala one goal from one shot.

Virginia had the momentum in the third term, but just couldn’t quite put their noses in front. The last quarter turned out to be virtually kick for kick. Mallala just managed to stay ahead, Virginia falling agonisingly short of victory.

Mallala full forward Jake Birchmore with his four goals and Jamie Good with his three were the only two goal kickers for Mallala. Rams’ vice-captain Anton Pogas was their only multiple scorer. Brooke Martin for Virginia was largely responsible for the Rams being so competitive in a best on ground performance. Nic Seccafien and skipper Adam Drew two quality young players that tried their hardest. Mallala, aside from the solid efforts of Birchmore and Good up forward, were best served

by Hugh Kirvan and Dylan Kearns.

Week after week Dylan continues to display the same high level of quality play that he has become renowned for. Kyle Hummel keeps getting better as the season goes on, as do Josh Watson and Zac Hallion.

This week could go a long way towards showing exactly where both teams are at.

Virginia are no doubt looking forward to making the trip to Bomberland in what should be an even and interesting encounter.

AHA/SA Country Football Championships

Central out-classed in zone carnival

Plains Producer, Wednesday July 8, 2009

Samuel meets Crows greats Hummocks-Watchman Eagles mini colts footballer, Samuel Carslake, was lucky enough to meet Crows footballers Andrew Mcleod, Taylor Walker and Tyson Edwards at a recent football clinic.

Samuel attended the coaching clinic at Kadina on Monday night June 15, spending one hour doing five different skills workshops with many of the 22 Crows players who were there.

Following this there was time for him to get the new footy he received and his Crows guernsey autographed.

A barbecue tea was provided, then kids were able to watch a few of the players being interviewed.

Eagles flying blind, Roosters in control A Grade

By Ruffled Feathers With the Eagles reeling from their loss to Mallala last week, they needed to put it behind them – the start of the game looked as if they were back in business.

Two quick goals by goal sneak Daniel Thomas, and the Hummocks boys capitalising on errors by Two Wells players appeared looked as if the Eagles were going to take charge early.

In return, Lee Allmond for the Roosters fired two goals in quick succession to have the scores equal.

Both teams kicked goal for goal, but much fumbling of the ball by both teams had players frustrated.

Taking advantage of the smaller oval, James Struck for the Roosters scored as Two Well were making full use of their loose players around the oval.

Reading of the play from the centre saw Joe Hunt and Sam Jericho score again for the home side. Sam Jericho was awarded a free due to undisciplined play by his Two Wells opponent.

TW 7.1 to HWE 6.1.

The second quarter started scrappily with both teams wrestling to gain control of the ball. Aaron Hand and Justin Antony for Two Wells kicked a couple of handy goals to keep their team ahead. Again

RUCKMEN Ross Coleman, Two Wells and Shaun Light, H W Eagles fly to tap the ball during Saturday’s A grade game at Port Wakefield.

Lee Allmond with a brilliant run goaled again. Hummocks were desperate to keep in touch with them with goals

by Jared Wilson and Sam Jericho. At times it sounded like there were more blows of the whistle than at the Sydney Mardi Gras.

The game didn’t appear to be flowing, and both teams were playing a scrappy quarter, with Hummocks looking a little flat footed, which Two Wells consolidated on. Only Daniel Thomas (HWE) appeared to save face showing signs of strength at the goal line with the help of Jared Wilson and Tim Forrest for the Eagles playing well.

Two Wells were beginning to pull away at this stage, putting pressure on the Eagles and led for the rest of the game.

Half Time TW 14.3 to HWE 10.4.

Tempers began to flare, a scuffle breaking out in the first minute of the third quarter.

Justin Antony fired up for the Roosters and belted a goal.

Lee Allmond and Justin Antony spurred on their fellow players and whenever Hummocks got their hand on the ball, they were wrapped up

by Roosters. Again the Eagle boys just couldn’t seem to find their way, as Two Wells appeared more committed to the ball. Goal from Sam Jericho, and Joe Hunt had Hummocks supporters cling-

on the ball was good but delivery to their forwards was poor and the Roosters had plenty of chances to rebound and in a good 10 minutes of play scored three quick goals.

The Eagles steadied with a couple of goals and seemed to have more of the ball but just couldn’t break clear of the Roosters. Both teams were playing good close-in hard football. Half time TW 5.9 HWE 6.3.

With scores tied up at half time the scene was set for a great second half. The Roosters came out more determined and started strong and fast. Their accurate foot and hand skills had the Eagles struggling and their backs were under constant pressure. The Eagles poor disposal turned the ball over time and time again as they tried to break through the Roosters strong defence.

Finally, good running through

Two Wells 25-9 (159) d H W Eagles 18-8 (116) ing to hope. Unfortunately some inaccurate kicking by the Eagles resulted in Two Wells being in control of the ball resulting in them scoring and pulling away again.

TW 21.7 to HWE 13.7.

Frustration began to show in both teams, and at times by the Hummocks supporters, but Two Wells found their legs while it appeared the Hummocks boys were struggling.

The Eagles couldn’t seem to get their play right early in the quarter and Two Wells thrived on their mistakes.

Undisciplined play again seemed to be the order of the quarter, but when Hummocks began to lift, it was too little too late. Two Wells ran out winners on the day.

Final score TW 25.8 to HWE 17.7.

Senior Colts

The game started in near perfect conditions, no breeze and cloud cover. Sam’s boys were coming into the game full of confidence coming off of three wins and starting to turn their season around. Eagles started the quarter kicking to the score board end.

The Roosters were winning the ruck contests which

was putting the Eagles backs under plenty of pressure.

Rowe was working hard in defence. Roosters kicked the first goal of the day but for the rest of the quarter kicked inaccurately.

The Eagles first goal came at the end of the quarter from good ball movement to find Hill at centre half forward. Good tackling and pressure on the Roosters ball carriers kept the Eagles in the game. Quarter time TW 1.6 HWE 1.2.

The second quarter started with two quick goals to the Eagles. Junior colt Tyler Williams was put into the centre bounce and started strongly.

the centre by Greenshields delivered the ball to Hill who kicked another long goal. Both teams were playing good fast running football, with both defences working hard.

Three quarter TW 7.12 HWE 8.4.

With scores tight both teams came out full of run and determination. Roosters aggression at the football held them in good stead with most of the play going their way in the first part of the fourth quarter, but unfortunately they couldn’t put the score on the board.

The Eagles went forward and scored a major and for the next 10 minutes they dominated the

play but kicked inaccurately.

With only seconds left Eagles were five points up but couldn’t hold the strong running Roosters out and went down by one point. It was a great game to watch with both sides playing good football.

Final score TW 8.16 HWE 9.9.

Best players for the Roosters – Slattery, Cousins, Tryfopoulos, Hines, Shepherd and Sincock. Eagles – Rowe, Roberts, Greenshields, Kelly and Hill, also a great effort from junior colts Cody Scott, Tyler Williams, Jesse Zilm and Ben Nicholls.

Tigers v Eagles outcome crucial United v HWE

With just one more week to play in APFL footy before each team plays each other once in the seven week run home, this week’s result at Long Plains will be crucial for both the Tigers and Eagles, who currently sit equal on premiership points in sixth and fifth place on the ladder respectively.

Both sides were expected to play a big part in season 2009, and they may well yet do so despite many expecting at least one to miss the finals, thanks to the continual impressive form of 2009 ladder climbers Two Wells and Virginia!

There is no doubt the danger signs are there for both clubs, given the current predicament however as we know, both clubs are more than capable of dragging themselves out of it.

One thing is for sure though – if one or both are to make the finals, they must dig deep over the next month and string some back to back wins together – starting this week!

Failure to do this will mean they will slowly fall back and the branches to grab onto will eventually run out.

Certainly it will be important for United to make the most of their home match (their first in four matches). United haven’t played at home since May 30, so it’s important they enjoy their match at Long Plains, use what home ground advantage they have and get their supporters to make some noise on Saturday.

Will Banton, Adrian Mills and Mark Pym will no doubt lead the way again this week, and the Tigers who are coming off the bye, need to break the shackles of an Eagles side that closed them down after half time last time they met!

For the Eagles they will need to get as much supply as possible to forwards Jericho and Thomas and play direct footy if they are to beat the Tigers.

The winner of this Saturday’s match can move a game clear of their opponent with the defeated not able to gain revenge until the last week of the 2009 minor round – when these sides meet again at Lochiel.

This game is so so important!

Last time they met: May 2 – HWE 19-15 (129) d United 10-3 (63) at Port Wakefield.

HWE 19-15 (129) d United 10-3 (63)

n By Kym Jarman

Kym Jarman’s Kiss of Death HWE by 19 pts Mallala by 25 pt Virginia by 59 pts “season igniting” three wins in a row. While a month ago you wouldn’t have necessarily considered Balaklava to be a genuine chance in this game, Peckers on their recent form simply cannot be ignored.

You must take into account it is the last three weeks the have undone second placed Two Wells, de-railed United’s season and also sent the Bombers packing – a sign they are up there with the rest of them.

When you add the fact Mallala have lost two of their last three matches and the Peckers did get within two straight kicks of the Magpies when they last met on May 16th and you must consider Balaklava a real chance on Saturday!

Hayden Walker, Ben Catford, Todd McPharlin and Jonathon Evans are all at their damaging best.

If they all fire once more and their forwards can keep finding the big sticks Balaklava could find themselves staying in fourth spot.

While Mallala this week will regain co-captain Liam Whitwell from zone duties, gun playmaker Joel Montgomerie is still expected to miss at least one more week with an injury.

Expect Mallala to attempt to bounce back with a solid display – they will not like sharing top spot with Two Wells as they do currently and will be keen to

make sure they do not lose their third game in four appearances.

However, if Balaklava bring their A game they are not without grounds to cause an upset!

Last time they met: May 16 – Mallala 6-16 (52) d Balaklava 6-7 (43) at Balaklava.

Hamley Bridge v Virginia

This game pending other results gives Virginia a chance to go equal top!

Although you’d expect Mallala to win at home against Balaklava the Rams can take second spot on percentage with a win over the bottom placed Bombers this week as TW have the bye!

With the competition being so even this match

against Hamley Bridge has come at a great time for the Rams who look to consolidate their place in the top three and sit themselves up there with Mallala and Two Wells – certainly a win in this match will make it hard for the other sides to dislodge Virginia from here on!

It is amazing to thing these two clubs despite all that has happened in season 2009 haven’t faced each other since Anzac Day. Unfortunately for the Bombers a similar score line is imminent this weekend as the Rams look to further advance towards a finals berth for the first time in a long time.

Last time they met: April 25 – Virginia 20-20- (140) d Hamley Bridge 7-2 (44) at Virginia.

Balaklava back in the top four Bomber pressure not enough to rattle the Peckers’ cage Balaklava 28-20 (188) d Hamley Bridge 9-5 (59)

Balaklava make light work of Bombers in senior colts Balaklava 25-16 (166) defeated Hamley Bridge 2-1 (13) senior colts

By Hen Peckered Top side Balaklava hosted bottom side Hamley Bridge and the result went as expected.

Hamley Bridge refused the offer of some players from Peckers coach Rob Michael, robbing them of the opportunity of a more competitive game, with Balaklava rotating six players from the bench while the Bombers stuck with their 15 players.

Despite Balaklava’s better players being rotated to the bench, the game blew out to a 153 point thrashing. A nine goal to nil opening quarter indicated the

dominance of the Peckers.

The Peckers ball use for most of the game was excellent, with Jack Jenner and Ryan Bernhardt dominant in ruck, and Jason Henderson and Braden Koch continually clearing the ball to its forward line where Ryan McPharlin (three goals) and Tim Shepherd (three) and Jamie Matthews in his first game back from injury (four goals) all contributed to their side’s scoreline.

The outstanding player for the Peckers, also in the forward lines, was Luke Guy. His excellent positioning and strong marking were a feature of the game, and he bagged eight goals in a best on ground performance.

Daniel Butterfield and Chad Ruiz had good quarters in defence with limited game time, while Riley McDonald’s attack on the ball belied his size and set a good example for his teammates.

For the Bombers, Ruckman Ben Cuse battled on well in ruck and around the ground, and Alex McCauley showed lots of pace and potential.

Andrew Powell played his typical game both in the midfield and in defence, while captain Justin Smith tried his heart out.

To the Bombers credit, they never gave in but were simply outclassed by a better side. Balaklava 25-16 to Hamley’s 2-1.

Peckers’ narrow win over Bombers Balaklava 6-7 (43) defeated Hamley Bridge 6-6 (42) Junior colts

By Mercy-fool Balaklava 6-7 just got over the line for a close win over Hamley Bridge, 6-6.

With the breeze favouring the northern end, Balaklava started well kicking with it to be three goals to one at the end of the first term.

Ben Heaslip kicked two and Jake Michael one for Balaklava; while Jeremy Paues was the only goal scorer for Hamley Bridge.

Bradey Krieg on the last line of defence and Tate Michael ‘filling in’ at centre half back and on the ball started plenty of attacks for the locals, and the hard running pocket rocket Dylan Collings and full forward Paues performed well for the visitors.

In the second term Hamley Bridge bounced back with majors to Sam Collings, Kynan Hewitt and Tyler Darwin, however Balaklava could only manage one ‘six pointer’ which Corey Karpany kicked. Ball magnet Dylan Collings again was good, along with Nathan Pycroft across half back for the Bombers, whilst Jake Michael was providing plenty of run on his wing for the Peckers and Corey Karpany up forward and on the ball did well too.

With only 10 points in it at half time Hamley Bridge lifted again, and they made the scoring end for the quarter the

southern end, despite the breeze still favouring the northern end. Paues kicked his second sausage roll for the Bombers and Sam Hill chimed in as well; whilst Harrison Veitch kicked Balaklava’s only goal for the quarter after intercepting the kick out from full back.

Captain Sam Collings joined his younger brother Dylan in the best players for Hamley for the quarter and James Speissegger started to come into the game more and Tate Michael worked hard around the ground for the Green ‘n’ Gold.

With Hamley in front by the narrowest of margins, the last quarter was tightly contested, however they could not manage a major score despite several opportunities.

To both teams’ credit they never gave up, and Balaklava just did enough to salvage a win from a rather lack lustre game on their behalf.

Caleb McPharlin kicked the only goal for the quarter, before Hamley missed a few shots on goal – close to and on the final siren. Tate Michael finished off the only four quarter effort for the Peckers and Speisseger was good off the wing again for the locals. For the visitors, captain Collings and Pycroft ran hard for the quarter. Don’t worry Paues and Wedding, there were plenty of other missed opportunities to kick goals during the game that were missed, which everybody forgets at the end of a climactic game.

By Hen Peckered Balaklava moved back into the four with a percentage boosting win over Hamley Bridge, 28-20 to 9-5, in ideal football conditions at Balaklava.

The Bombers were missing several first pick players, as were the Peckers.

The game appeared very scrambled, the Bombers and the Peckers both making errors brought on by the some strong tackling.

Brady Scott, (three goals) and Ben Catford (two) helped the Peckers to a seven goal first quarter, but the difference between the sides didn’t seem that great, although the Bombers could only manage one goal for the quarter.

Stuart Gregory and Tom Smith had great quarters, with both going on to play great games for the Bombers.

Justin Walker’s return to A grade was important for the Peckers coming on into ruck, his palming of the ball giving his mid field first look at the ball, while relieving his hard working brother Hayden, who welcomed the rest up forward.

The Bombers best quarter, the second, saw them break even with the Peckers, continuing to pressure the Peckers into errors, the game still really scrambly with unforced errors.

Justin Schahinger really worked hard this quarter, taking on the Walker boys in the ruck.

Tyler Miller looked dangerous up forward and Jed Eastwood, picked up a goal with some strong endeavour.

Coach Andrew Michael gave his team a ‘sting’ at half-time, and the results were immediate.

Jonathon Evans grabbed everything that came near him and Bradley Michael kicked three goals for the quarter.

Luke Tezacker and Vinney Taylor came into the game, the Peckers’ clean possession and crisp disposal leaving their opposition in their wake.

An 11-goal quarter was just what their coach asked for and they way they did it was even more impressive.

The final quarter was a dour affair, the Peckers adding a further seven goals to the Bombers two, the game over as a spectacle, the atmosphere under the verandah nonexistent.

However the large win, added to Hummocks Watchman Eagles loss to Two Wells, has given the Peckers renewed confidence as they slip into the four on percentage.

A highlight of the quarter for the Peckers was a four-goal haul to Jonathon Brice for a game tally of six, showing excellent hands for a youngster with some good contested marks.

B grade

By Spotted Pecker Buoyed by last week’s win against United, Balaklava were in good spirits as they faced off against Hamley Bridge this week at the foreboding Peckerdome.

A win was a must for Hamley, who are chasing the momentum required to push into the top four with recent proof that reserves finals is a whole different ball game if you can get there.

In turn, Balaklava was keen to blow off any threat to third spot on the ladder. Both sides were suffering from the annual mid-season lull of ‘roadworthy’ players; a great opportunity for a couple of colts to ‘ride the pine’ and have a crack at senior footy. Unfortunately, colt footy is a distant memory for the blokes that got the call up. The weather was favourable for good football with mild, overcast conditions and no wind.

Balaklava held most of the football in the first quarter but execution was sloppy and they had trouble setting up passages of play. Balaklava certainly had targets in the forward line but movement into their 50 metre zone was awkward. Consequently, Hamley was mopping up quite well and sending the ball

back down the line. Adam Baker was causing headaches for Balaklava by drifting loose in the backline and Paul Pittam was reading the ball well and marking a lot of wayward kicks from Balaklava. Hamley may have seen less of the football but easily converted when they did, playing a cleaner style of game. This kept the heat on Balaklava. Scott Rademacher was good for Hamley across the middle. Andrew Outram busted a gut in the first quarter and was copping some head-high attention as Hamley tried to slow his drive. Michael Brougham was very mobile; arriving at most contests across the middle. Leigh Wright was presenting well in the forward line and looked like settling in for a good game. Hamley slightly behind at the first break but their confidence was building.

The second quarter was a very even contest and made for good viewing. Sean Henderson was really starting to hit his straps in the rucking contest for Balaklava, giving them the edge out of the middle. Lucas Morgante was applying solid tackling pressure trying to stop Balaklava’s run out of the middle. Balaklava were still having trouble penetrating their half forward zone and lost opportunity to kick ahead this quarter and start to shut Hamley’s game down. To Hamley’s credit, whenever they had possession they were able to damage Balaklava in some way. There were some uneasy moments for Balaklava’s backline but Kym Simon’s physical aggression was a stand-out. Individual performances by Kerry Michalanney and Jared Cmrlec, including Andrew Outram continuing to rack up multiple possessions kept Balaklava’s nose just in front again at the main change, but Hamley were still hot on their heels.

Hamley burst into the third quarter kicking two unanswered goals. Balaklava was showing no drive whatsoever. Hamley was winning the contested ball with very little effort this quarter and showing signs of a danger side.

Lucas Morgante’s tackling pressure across the middle was creating loose ball gets for Hamley and Balaklava was starting to stand back and watch. Scott Rademacher had been moved back to shut down Leigh Wright, but thankfully Leigh was at his best and able to keep scoring to keep Balak ahead. Dylan Parker was starting to make his mark this quarter and Matthew Feigert was kept busy crumbing the tall forwards.

Balaklava ran out a different side for the last quarter and was much cleaner and confident in their ball handling. Sean Henderson continued to dominate the rucking contest and pulling Pete Georg out of the backline and into the middle was a smart move. Balaklava coach Gib Palmer was leading by example and marking well in the last line of defence. Jason Guerin came off the bench and threw himself at every loose ball. Matthew Tiller was another player that found form in the last quarter.

Scott Rademacher was noted for his efforts on Leigh Wright. Hayden Elseworthy played out a great game in his first for the year.

Balaklava was able to pull it all together, keep running and finish off with a good win.

Balaklava men

Owing to an in-line cable glitch, this original email, like many others, didn’t in fact go anywhere last week - my apologies for the delay and thanks to The Producer for accommodating a double-whammy report.

Two weekends ago, after spending most of his waking moments over several years dedicated to nurturing, fertilising and fussing over the golf course, last Saturday Bill Parkin came out and simply tore it to shreds.

Not only did Bill (+4 overall) win the Moody Cup from runner-up Mark Loy (+3 overall) but that smooth-swinging son-of-a-Srixon also set a new course record, having hit 68 off the stick, a magnificent effort.

But that wasn’t all, not by far, because young Bill also took out the inaugural Lower North Electrical Trophy as he headed home the A Grade mob with his Par score of +6. This left Peter Lamont (+3) in second place and Bill Lokan (+1) third, on a count-back from Ian Michael.

Rounding out that particular field were M. Hameister (-2), M. Loy (-3), R. Butterworth (-4), R. Hart (-4), G. Spence (-5) and J. Michael (-5).

Over in the B-Grade circus it was Simon Purdue’s Big Day Out, as he smacked an unbeatable score of +1, thus elbowing a determined Jye Neale (+1) out of the way courtesy of a count-back.

Dean Trickett (square) stormed home in third place.

In their majestic footprints followed D. Rodgers (-1), S. Michael (-1), D. Addison (-1), T. Michael (-2), C. Michael (-2), R. Veitch (-3), S. Jonas (-6), B. Thompson (-7), G. Toms (-7), A. Henstridge (-8), A. Manuel (-8), N. Mellow (-10), C. Temby (-14) and strangely, G. Sonntag is shown to have scored +3 but won nothing - it’s a cruel game, folks!

Michael Hahesy fronted yet again to clinch his handicap and show continued improvement. Well done that man.

Two Juniors had a go, with Jordan Taylor (+2) triumphant over a seemingly jaundiced Jordan Wilson (-11).

Birdies were scored with, of course, the ebullient Bill Parkin bagging two, on the 3rd and 10th, leaving the rest to Dave Rodgers (3rd), Merv Hameister (3rd), Geoff. Spence (10th) and Ian Michael (8th).

Those ending up Nearest The Pin were Peter Lamont (3rd), Ian Michael (8th), ‘im again Bill Parkin (10th) and just to be sure, Peter Lamont cleaning up yet another new golf ball on the 17th.

Last Saturday, nearly 30 players arrived hell-bent on securing the Stroke competition Foodland Trophy with which to impress their significant others.

However, it befell the indomitable Bill Parkin to triumph yet again, his score of 74/72 just enough to allow Merv.

Hameister (87/73) to nudge his way into second place over Murray Smith (88/73) on a count back.

Left to ponder what might have been among the A Graders were I. Michael (87/74), R. Butterworth (87/75), P. Lamont (84/75), M. Loy (88/76), R. Hart (89/78), J. Michael (95/79) and D. Taylor (91/80).

The B Grade field in turn searched for and found a true champion in the resurgent, motivated (by 12 Volts) Barry Thompson (102/71) who showed us emphatically how it was done.

Young Tate Michael (89/72) knocked his uncle Scott Michael (91/72) into third place on a count back.

Out of the limelight were the shadowy figures of B. Michael (90/72), D. Addison (99/74), A.Henstridge (100/74), J. Curnow (95/77), G. Toms (100/80), D. Trickett (100/80), D. Rodgers (100/81), M. Hahesy (121/85), C. Temby (121/86), A. Manuel (111/87) and L. Hart (115/88).

Two Juniors went at it mano-a-mano, with Jordan Taylor (125/85) serving it up again to Jordan Wilson (148/109).

Birdies were struck by Messrs. John Curnow and Austin Henstridge on the 8th., Doug Taylor (10th) and Murray Smith (15th).

Nearest The Pin acclaim rained down on Doug Taylor (3rd. and 10th), Ron Butterworth (8th), Murray Smith (15th) and Tate Michael (17th).

The course covered in a vast green covering of which tested players with their errant shots.

Scott Francis and Robert Thompson dominated A Grade finishing +7 with Scott fending off Robert to win the count back and the stalwart of the club Ian Smith taking the minor placing with +5. Paul Shields playing with Trevor Datson and Daryl Thompson was a surprise winner given recent efforts to win B Grade with +4 narrowly from Trevor +3 and Jim Weir finishing 3rd with +2. Daryl was fine tuning his game and demonstrated some excellent shots during the round. Like all the poor shots took their tally on the final result. Golf really was the overall winner on the day.

Tim Clifton playing at the rear of the field no doubt to stop others watching his new golf swing blitzed C Grade with +10 leaving both Brian Prior and Smoking Clive Weller both with +3 far behind his winning score. Brian taking the count back from Clive.

Rumour had it that Edinburgh Golf club who has set up an inter club challenge with Two Wells recently sent out one of their TOP GUN Golfers to survey the course and report back to Club Captain Keith Alexander in preparation for the challenge. Two Wells can rest slightly as Mal Rankine like so many before him succumbed to the charm of Two Wells and as a consolation was given the NAGA (only because the local boys bolted before the presentation) finishing with -6.

Looking at Mal’s card it was the front nine that caused the -6 and he finished 0 on the back nine. That damn front nine has brought many a low handicapper to their knees during Open Days.

Tennis Ladies winter

The fog and mist was obviously thicker over Auburn way, with Cokes captain Colleen Allen thinking tennis might be called off, but once again the sun was shining in Balaklava! It wasn’t warm to begin with, but it didn’t take long for the jumpers to come off.

Colleen’s Cokes were faced against Louise Michael’s Bitters, in what was to be a very close encounter, with the Bitters scraping through 4-32 to 2-25. Four sets were 6-4s and one a tiebreaker indicating how close the match was. There was one set though, that was not close, with Bitters Di Taylor and Chris Simon obviously warming up faster than their opponents and combined very well! Opponents Joy Ryan, sporting a cold, and partner Bec Houston just couldn’t warm up (well, that’s their excuse) but were even colder at the end of that set by having to drop their trackies! Cold cheeks indeed! Both Joy and Bec redeemed themselves by winning a set each after that, with Bec and Colleen unlucky to lose a tiebreaker to Louise and Chris. Bitters Kathryn Mahony and opponent Belinda May-Woidt, who was having elastic trouble, had a consistent hit with every set being 6-4! Well done girls on a very good match!

Heidi Zerk’s Solos also won a thriller, this time over Helen Barry’s Lemons 4-34 to 2-22. The Lemons did well winning two tiebreakers, with Di Meaney playing like a woman half her age! Di was refreshed and revitalised from her recent trip to Vietnam, and featured in both of the Lemons winning sets, one each with Helen B and Kim Eime. Saturday doubles partners Helen and Melissa Moulds became arch rivals as they tried to outplay each other, with Mel taking the honours only just 2-1.

Captain Heidi was not happy after losing her first two sets in tiebreakers and was on a mission in her last set with Julie Bigg, who was too scared to make any mistakes!

But their experience shone through as they won a long 6-3 which saw Heidi high fiving her team mates afterwards! Lemons newie Tess Mellow did well against her stronger opposition and is serving very well. Solos Kellie Harrison had her body suit on to keep warm, and, like Heidi, got fired up after her first set tie loss to win her next two. Her opponent Kim was once again seen wearing outfits from her childrens wardrobes, which makes for some interesting combinations!

The final match went down to the wire, with the absent Shaz Pike’s Sprites having a superb win over Pauline Hill’s Fantas 332 to 3-27. Shaz was too busy shopping to play, but may take more time off now

that her team has had a win! The Sprites were assisted by the legendary Scott McDonald, who had an excellent battle against Pauline all day. I nearly forgot to mention that only three of the regular eight players were playing in this match, so a big thankyou to the fill-in’s! Scott and Lorraine Jenner won a long 6-4 over Pauline and Taylar Durdin, playing with the ‘big (or old)’ girls for the first time. Team mates Sarah Kammermann and Kerry Williams, out for her first hit this season, came second 6-4 to Angela Battle and Meriel Lane, both on byes for their regular teams. With scores dead level, Pauline cranked up a notch in her set with Meriel, to then win a hard fought tiebreaker over Scott and Sarah. Meriel and Sarah were seen hiding below the net at one stage fearful of actually having to hit a net volley! Sprites Kerry and Lorraine had a good win, which gave them some much needed extra games. With sets level and the Sprites ahead by three games, the tension was high as the players ventured out for their third set. Pauline and partner Angela slogged it out to win yet another tiebreaker over the staff/ex-student team of Scott and Kerry in an excellent set.

Lorraine and Sarah could sniff a win and were pushed to win a 6-3 over Meriel and Taylar. The Sprites celebratory squealing could be heard by Shaz in the toy shops!

Well done to all players as most of you hadn’t partnered each other before!

Now the ladies have two weeks to relax, because that’s what ladies do! Maybe some pre-second-half-season training wouldn’t go astray so we don’t have any injuries when we start again in two weeks!

And a big hello to our number one reader Beris - hope you are getting on OK! See you in two weeks!

Winter Night

After attempting to jinx the winter nighters with my rain forecast last week, the gale force winds and rain cleared away for a good night for tennis.

Courtney Daniel’s stacked Yachts made short work of Lisa Redpath’s unlucky Tugs 6-40 to 0-8, with the Yachts being assisted by their handy permanent fill-in Chris Daniel. Tugs Kevyna Gardner was wishing for a late staff meeting so she didn’t have to face the power hitting of Chris, but things didn’t pan out for her!

However Kevyna wasn’t disgraced, having very consistent sets against Chris, scoring two in every set! That was two more than Lisa and Di Taylor’s set together, having to reveal their briefs to Courtney and Darryl Barkla, which was quite impressive! The youngestTugs member, Shaun Northcott had a good hit against fellow summer nighter Peter Rohrlach, and like Kevyna managed to keep his trackies up. The Tugs weren’t bad, the Yachts were just too strong!

The other match played was mush closer, with Lauren Parker’s Canoes defeating Diane Gregor’s Ships 4-29 to 2-21. The first two sets weren’t very close, with one whitewash (but not dakdropper) set going each way. But after that things got tense, with two tiebreakers and a 5-3 played.

Lauren and opponent Diane featured in both ties, with both captains concentrating very hard! Canoes fill-in, Scott McDonald, and opponent Mr Muscle Richard Goldney, also featured in a tie and the 5-3, with these two men enjoying some hard hitting.

Canoes also had a newie in Jarek Flight, who was a surprise package, winning his first two sets comfortably, but came second in his last in a tiebreaker.

His opponent Cherie Cleary took a while to get her eyes in, but was very pleased to win that tie with Diane. Young starlet Kate Taylor had a great hit against Bec Houston, with both girls going for their shots. Well done!

Hopefully the nighters’ muscles won’t seize up over the two week break!

UNDER 14

Balaklava drew Donnybrook The game started very tightly with both teams working hard to back each other up. A good play by Tim Goldney saw Balaklava end up with a short corner. Even though they were unable to score, good pressure kept the ball within their attacking half.

Tim Heslop, Natasha Greenshields, Hedley Greenshields and Marni Greenshields were moving the ball well.

A quick run by Donnybrook caught everyone by surprise as they scored the first goal.

Balaklava soon evened the score as Tyler Milne found himself on the end of an excellent team play involving Natasha, Heath Milne and Ethan Gates just to mention a few.

Balaklava came out after half time looking to score and tight defence by

the attackers saw the ball remain in their half. The hard work paid off as Bryce scored to give Balaklava their second goal.

Unfortunately their lead was short lived as Donnybrook easily moved the ball down the field after a turnover to score.

Excellent play by Tim G and Jesse Shepherd nearly saw Balaklava take the lead again. Another fast break

by Donnybrook was stopped well by Michael Bowden (in goals) at the last line of defence. The game finished with Balaklava having a short corner right on full time.

Final score two all.

Balaklava def. Donnybrook 5/0 What a game to watch. Even though it ended up being a bit one sided with regards to the score line, everyone fought hard for the ball with Balaklava’s defence being just that bit stronger. The game started with Tim Heslop scoring a goal within the first minute or two. This was a great boost for the team.

Through the middle the play was fairly even with both teams earning short corners but Balaklava’s defence was on fire stopping all of Donnybrook’s attempts to score.

Natasha Greenshields then showed her brilliance scoring a goal from a short corner with a fantastic hit past a number of players.

The second half continued with strong play from both teams with good stick skills being used on a very bumpy and uneven ground.

The highlights of the second half were when Pete McMillan drew out the Donnybrook goalie, who went to ground defending the goals, and then flicked the ball over him to score a goal. Then Tim H proved that his first goal wasn’t a fluke, scoring another goal after some hard fought tussles.

And then just before full time, brother and sister teamed up with Brittny Heslop receiving the ball from Tim and deflecting it into the goals. Final score 5 - nil.

MEN

Balaklava drew Donnybrook The game started with Balaklava fighting hard for the ball. With the team a player short, everyone had to step up and give that little bit more.

Samuel, Lee and Raf worked well together in the middle getting the ball down to the forwards and intercepting the runs from the opposition.

Unfortunately the Donnybrook goalie was playing well defending all of Balaklava’s attempts at goal.

There were a few close calls where the ball nearly crossed the line, but the Donnybrook defence was working well together. At half time Balaklava were down 1 – nil. Not a position that they are used to.

The second half saw both teams come out strong and with fire in their bellies. It was still anyone’s game.

The ball was turned over a number of times with everyone trying to get the next goal.

This was not a good position for the Balaklava guys to be in. To their credit they fought back and levelled the score.

Once from a short corner and then again in the dying minutes of the game after some extremely tight and hard play. Well done guys.

SPORT v District

The Plains Producer, Wednesday July 8, 2009

Central Zone stunned at country footy championships match to look forward to on Sunday it could be said that desire was somewhat lacking for the Sunday fixture and unfortunately Central were again skittled - this time by 33 points, going down to Eyre Peninsula in the longer standard length football match.

In this match Balaklava’s Todd McPharlin kicked a goal to at least see one APFL player get a mention on the overall carnival scoresheet.

Just three APFL players made the trip to Port Pirie on the weekend - Mallala’s Liam Whitwell, United’s Heath Pym and Balaklava’s Todd McPharlin.

All three, among many other players in the squad, would have found it extremely hard to settle into both the matches and the side.

Not only did the Central zone coach have a massive task of keeping all players happy by rotating players on and off the bench, many players also swapped positions as Central tried to find the right mix and positional match-ups to get themselves into the games.

Whitwell played as an on-baller, Pym played as a half back come wingman and McPharlin assumed a forward pocket role.

All three rotated on and

APFL FOOTBALL IN REVIEW

My Call

Kym Jarman

Questions over APFL decision to play off the ground at times. It could be argued that if the APFL had a bye across the association last weekend (as we did in 2009) the Central zone could have had more players to choose from and therefore put in a better showing at the weekend’s carnival.

Of the three leagues NEFL, YPFL and APFL which make up the central zone – our league was the only one to schedule regular matches last weekend and it is apparent Central zone organisers are slightly disappointed.

No doubt you cannot blame APFL Central Zone training squad members for choosing to play for their clubs over putting their hand up for the zone team – especially with the APFL being so closely fought this year.

But Central zone organisers would feel an APFL bye could have meant some players had no choice to make between club and zone and it would have meant the training squad for the carnival could have been strengthened.

Just how many APFL players would have actually been picked to play in the side is of course an unknown!

On the other hand you can’t blame the APFL for not scheduling a competition bye across the board. The APFL has an odd number of teams so you must consider each time the APFL has a whole competition bye two local sides then have a fortnight without matches (with one club having a regular bye the week before and/or after the competition bye) –

this is not ideal for the clubs nor the competition.

Also in the scheme of things it seems strange to have a bye for the zone championships weekend just four weeks after the bye for the association weekend (June long weekend).

With the June long weekend universally known as a ‘mid year weekend off’ for country footy around the state co-inciding with both the annual association carnivals and the country netball association championships in Adelaide, to suspend junior footy and junior and senior netball matches again on the Plains for an entire weekend in July (just four weeks after the June weekend) to enable a handful of APFL A Grade footballers to play in the State Championships does seem

More importantly, they’re just one game behind Two Wells and their opponent Mallala who now for the first time this season share equal top spot.

Virginia’s win would have been somewhat unexpected, yet never considered unobtainable due to the fact the Rams were playing at home and the

Magpies were missing playmakers Liam Whitwell (on Central zone duties), and Joel Montgomerie (out injured).

Despite Mallala giving the Rams a good old fashioned hiding last time these sides met at Mallala, you knew last week, given the recent rainfall the door would be left ajar for Virginia if they were good enough.

They were! And no one was more pleased than their coach Greg Phillips.

“If we expect to play finals footy these are the sort of wins we need to put on the board” “I’m pretty happy with all the lads and their efforts in the game!”

“What was most pleasing was that we got over the line in a close game.

“I felt even though we went down in our last two games to Two Wells and Hummocks Watchman we were right in the matches but couldn’t get over the line and weren’t good enough to win.

“I’m pleased the lads dug deep and produced a gutsy win in the conditions against Mallala. We needed to do this as this sort of game will be typical of what will be upon us in the finals” Phillips was also pleased the club and some old faces and supporters banded together during the week at Virginia.

“It was good for the players to back up the support shown by our club’s supporters and sponsors who got together at the club for a luncheon on Friday. It was good some old supporters and sponsors of the club are back on board so we thank them immensely for that,” Phillips said.

It seems as if the whole Virginia district is getting behind the Rams in 09!

•Meanwhile at Port Wakefield the Two Wells Roosters were in the midst of engaging in a high scoring shoot out with reigning premier the Hummocks Watchman Eagles.

In the end the Roosters won the game with an accurate return of 25.9 out gunning the Eagles equally impressive contribution of 18.8.

It was the second deadly accurate score kicked by the Roosters in as many weeks, and again it was Aaron “Wally” Hand who was the focal point up forward.

The long torsoed ruckman/on-baller come for-

ward booted seven majors to add to his eleven from last week.

His partner in crime this week – Justin Antony – kicked five goals as the Rooster forwards took full advantage of the supply delivered by on-ballers Ned Seccafien and Adam Humzy and defenders Scott Humphrys and Steven Devine.

Although at the other end, Sam Jericho and Daniel Thomas each booted five majors apiece for the home side thanks to much hard work done by their on-ballers Shane Braham, Jared Wilson and ruckman Sean Light.

In the end it was the Roosters who made it two from two against last year’s premiers and now put themselves in a great spot sitting equal top with Mallala on the APFL table.

•At Balaklava, the home side knew the importance of winning their third match in a row as it was crucial in ensuring all the good work from their hard fought recent wins was not undone.

As it turns out not only did the Peckers win the match they also gained enough percentage to leap frog both United and the Eagles on the ladder and move into fourth place equal on points and higher on percentage.

All the regular contributors were there again for Balaklava in Ben Catford, Hayden Walker and Vinny Taylor. Jonathon Brice who no doubt gained much confidence from his game a week prior in which he got Balaklava off to a flyer against the Tigers continued onwards and upwards this week with a return of six goals.

Brady Scott kicked five goals and Catford four in another great display.

For Hamley Bridge Justin Schahinger, Joel Latimer and Stuart Gregory were among their best.

ridiculous. When you consider Central is just one of six zones state wide and is made up of only the NEFL (eight teams) the YPFL (nine teams) and the APFL (seven teams) which makes 23 clubs overall, compared to the Hills Football League which has 19 clubs alone and forms just part of one other zone with at least two other leagues, totalling 40 clubs or more, it hardly seems fair!

On top of this the Hills Central division is also considered one of the strongest country footy leagues in SA. I think a case can be made that it is possible the SANFL ‘powers that be’ may have prematurely stripped away the NAFA and BL&GFA from Central zone two years ago (due to our previous strong showings) when perhaps some other zones didn’t take the carnival so seriously.

Now the other zones are seemingly more supportive and taking full strength sides to the carnival we are now left with a zone of just three leagues to pick from!

There is just so much up for debate on so many levels.

Of course this brings in the argument of what purpose does the SACF Championship Carnival actually serve? Apart from being a possible forum for talent scouts (flying in the face of this is the fact that many players participating have already had a crack at SANFL at either senior

or junior levels) or simply a forum which makes it easy for State selectors to pick the SA Country State team (as the carnival is all done and dusted in one weekend at the one place).

Whilst no doubt it is an honour for players to play in the carnival as they are playing against the best of all country footballers in SA, “zone” representation holds little history, not much passion and not much pride.

Not only does the carnival represent a format more suited to junior football with the shortened games, the players aren’t representing a local club or even local association – and the zones change boundaries, leagues and even names from year to year.

The APFL was by no means the only country footy league to play regular matches over the weekend and not have a bye across the association, however no doubt with the Central Zone being made up of just three leagues it may have had an impact on the performance of the Central Zone.

If Central Zone is going to climb off the bottom in 2010 it will need full support from all three leagues including the APFL. However when local community football is played each week for the purpose of ‘the community’ should it be suspended for a week for the sake of a carnival when it is highly likely no more than 10 individuals (on and off the field) from the APFL are ever likely to participate?

Results from the South Australian Country Football Championships held at Port Pirie over last weekend saw our zone, Central, (comprising the APFL, North Eastern FL and Yorke Peninsula FL) finish dead last of six country zones – not winning a single match.

It was just the second time in five years Central zone had not made the SA championship carnival’s grand final.

Never has Central finished lower than third and despite making the final as recently as last year, this year’s carnival results in which we failed to win a game has certainly left a bitter taste in Central’s mouth.

In game one of the carnival (which comprised two preliminary Saturday matches made up of two 20-minute halves and one full length Sunday “Finals” match) Central went down to the Northern Zone by a 21 point margin in game one of the carnival.

Although Central was right in it until half time the second half of game one proved costly as the Northerners ran away with proceedings.

In the second preliminary match on Saturday, Central was completely outplayed from start to finish going down by a massive 69-point margin to eventual cup winners Southern Districts.

Southern Districts in this match were simply too strong as their on-ballers and forwards out gunned their Central counterparts to deliver a polished and dominant display of skilful mouth watering football.

Central’s second loss for the day meant the zone, which was once so feared and had made all but one carnival grand final since its current format inception five years ago, were no chance of playing for any great prize in 2009.

InFARMation v Weekly guide to weather, agriculture Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading hay exporter

ABB takeover points to handling changes Canadian agribusiness Viterra Inc, and its takeover target, ABB Grain, have announced changes to reduce â&#x20AC;&#x153;weather related exposureâ&#x20AC;? to farmers in a move to illustrate benefits of the proposed new company.

The changes are subject to implementation of the scheme of arrangement previously announced by Viterra and ABB Grain, which remains subject to shareholder, court and regulatory approvals and other conditions.

These include introduction of grain volume insurance and removal of the volume variation fee. Viterra has entered into a grain volume insurance program to insure the combined company against lower than ex-

management strategy since 2005.

The insurance program will allow the combined operation to eliminate the ABB grain volume variation charge in South Australia, removing grower exposure to the charge during difficult crop years.

ABB Grain previously investigated grain volume insurance and concluded it was not, at the time, economical to obtain such coverage on a stand alone basis.

The two companies have also reviewed ABBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s storage and handling charges in an effort to simplify the disclosure to ensure it is in a strong

Viterraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mayo Schmidt pected grain production in South Australia.

This new program will allow ABB to make changes to its storage and handling charges for the benefit of Australian growers if the scheme of arrangement is implemented. Viterra has had grain volume insurance in place as part of a comprehensive risk

position to actively compete for growersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;business on a daily basis. More details on the revised fee structure will be provided once the integration of the two companies starts.

The insurance coverage, contingent upon the successful combination of ABB and Viterra, will reduce the financial impact on ABB Grain should adverse weather conditions impact grain receivals in the future.

The program would begin to pay out in the event of about a 33 per cent drop in average annual South Australian grain production levels and would fully pay out in the event of a 65 per

but concluded it was not viable on a stand alone basis. If the combination of ABB and Viterra proceeds, and based on the financial strength of the combined company, it will be able to put in place a program that addresses the needs of growers â&#x20AC;&#x153;These enhancements will position the combined company competitively in both the Australian and global marketplace and will allow the company to increase the demand for Australian production around the world.â&#x20AC;?

t may still be winter, but now is the time for farmers to be making sure all their hay and harvest equipment is serviced.

Even though its cold and miserable outside, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to get it done soon and get in quickly to beat any short supply of parts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or manpower.

By August and September, the Vaters crew will be busily preparing newly arrived machinery, so farmers need to book their services soon.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a few lean years, so some farmers have put off the major services and only done the priority jobs.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really important to have a good look at machinery this year.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a shortage in supply of a lot of models and makes of machinery for the rest of the year.

If farmers are considering doing something, they really need to act sooner rather than later.

The demand for secondhand headers is just starting to pick up, so for people who might be in the market should look around while thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still some good machinery available, rather than later when there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t such a good choice.

Also, New Holland continues to offer its deal for the 2010 season, where farmers purchasing a new combine harvester are given a trip to the United States to complete some owner training at the New Holland plant in Nebraska.

Viterraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president and chief executive officer, Mayo Schmidt, said Viterraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to extend its Canadian grain volume insurance program to include the operations of ABB Grain was a creative solution that reduced the risk profile of the combined company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It illustrates the kind of benefits and innovation we can bring to the table

collectively, working together to bring value to the business, its growers, shareholders and destination customersâ&#x20AC;?.

ABBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s managing director, Michael Iwaniw, said the combined company would be in a position to respond proactively to growers in advance of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harvest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Feedback from growers prompted us to examine our storage and handling charges,â&#x20AC;? Mr Iwaniw said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;ABB investigated crop insurance in the past

AT A GLANCE FOOTBALL

Two Wells 25.9 (159) d HW Eagles 18.8 (116) Virginia 8.7 (55) d Mallala 6.11 (47) Balaklava 28.20 (188) d Hamley Bridge 9.5 (59)

other reports: p16 – 24

Defining their 2009 season: Rams and Roosters bowl over northern ‘glamour’ teams.

Is the APFL premiership ....

n PLAYING hard ball! Eagle Brett Price was penalised after this attempt to spoil Rooster Justin Antony resulted in head high contact.

Heading south?

W

ins on the weekend to Two Wells over HWE and Virginia over Mallala have seen the APFL’s two most southern clubs reaffirm their positions within the APFL top four as the season moves past the half way mark and points towards the run home.

The Roosters and Rams are continuing to look more like finals participants in 2009 – despite missing the top four last year while Balaklava, which won its third match in a row at the weekend, has also snuck up on the top group– and now amazingly moves into fourth place on percentage, thanks to a big win over Hamley Bridge.

With just one more week to play out before all teams play each other once more in the run home, the competition is so even and match points (as they have been all year) like gold in a competition that still could be claimed by anyone.

With results being as they have, anything is possible over the course of the next eight weeks.

One thing is for sure – that is two of the six genuine 2009 finals contenders of the 2009 season are going to miss

Magic touch

Balaklava’s David Yates appears to have the ball on a string in this great action shot by photographer Lisa Redpath. His team certainly did, as the Peckers dealt out another big loss to struggling Hamley Bridge, winning by 129 points at Balaklava. n C2 NETBALL action as Hamley Bridge goal defence Kirra Surace looks down court to pass. Balaklava opponent Gemma Freebairn attempts to block the move.

IN REVIEW

My Call

Kym Jarman

the final four. With HWE, Balaklava, and United now (as they were at the end of last year’s minor round, second, third and fourth) on equal points it is highly likely it will be two of these three clubs that will be bitten by the flea of disappointment!

Then again, with this season the way it has been, don’t write off any these three clubs coming back into genuine contention!

As it stands, currently three games separates first and sixth so by no means are any of the trio out of it – especially if they can start stringing some wins together in coming weeks.
