Council’s elector review fires up debate By Lauren Parker

Up to their knees in strife

WHAT are Steve and Doris Woods up to? The Port Parham residents have an issue which not only affects them – but many other people living in coastal communities. – Turn to Page 7 for the full story. PICTURE: Lisa Redpath.

Discussion over councillor numbers and wards became heated last Wednesday, with one Wakefield Regional Council elected member – councillor Avon Hudson, telling another, councillor Kelly Bickle – to “get off” council. After much debate, it was decided council would be divided into four wards and be represented by one less councillor at the 2010 elections. Councillors made the decision to reduce numbers from 11 to 10 councillors plus a mayor, and from five wards to four. Debate was dominated by Central ward councillor Avon Hudson who was angered councillors did not support his view numbers should be reduced to just six councillors, and the presiding member should be chosen by councillors, not the general public. He believes this would reduce costs and prevent those with no local government experience from becoming mayor. However, councillors were told any change to a councillor appointed presiding member would require a poll of ratepayers, with at least 50 per cent voter return – the majority having to support a councillor appointed chair or mayor. Usually, local government elections generate about 30 per cent voter return. Neighbouring council District Council of Mallala has a councillor appointed presiding member, and has had two chairmen and one mayor since the last election. Cr Hudson told council he believed there should be just one councillor for each ward, but because this didn’t fit with the required quotas (people represented per elected member) he was prepared to compromise and have six councillors in five wards. • Continued Page 2

NEWS v District

Did councillors go far enough with cutback?

hy do we need so many councillors to run local government in this

region? At present, Wakefield Regional Council (WRC) has 11 councillors with five wards. Eastern, Southern, Northern, Western and Central. District Council of Mallala also has 11 councillors in four wards – Dublin, Mallala, Two Wells and Lewiston. Firebrand councillor Avon Hudson, of Wakefield Regional Council’s Central Ward, says there should only be six councillors, which means he might be talking himself out of a job. That would definitely appeal to some people on Balaklava’s Scotland street. But does Councillor Hudson have a point? He certainly made one at the recent council meeting where he raised the hackles of many in the room, including the mayor. Yet his stance is not necessarily wrong; in fact a similar option was listed as number five when ward structure options were presented

MY VIEW

Terry Williams

EDITOR Editor@plainsproducer.com.au for consideration in council’s agenda item in its elector representation review. This was to have just two wards, divided between either seven or 10 councillors. Another suggestion, from several, was to have no wards at all, but this doesn’t seem to be the popular path to take, one of which is that councillors might have no empathy for certain areas. The Local Government Act also declares there must be a fair ratio of electors to councillors; yet there is no established formula or guideline

for determining the ideal level of representation. Now don’t switch off here. Talk of local government often is found deadly dull by many people – a fact not lost on councils everywhere, who battle to get residents to vote at elections. You will read Lauren Parker’s report on just what is happening in more detail elsewhere in the paper. Ho-hum, you say, reaching for the muesli. But there is good reason to labour the point. The next local government elections will be held in 2010 and councils presently are going through the processes of elector review of composition and potential division of wards in their district. They are required by law under the Local Government Act to do this every eight years. Not much fun – but important and it must be done. I am not close to the operations of any council, yet I acknowledge it would be next to impossible to run any community without one. The thing is, at a local level, at times things can just get out of

hand as elected members – not necessarily at our own councils but I am not excluding same – display at various times an inability to come to grips with matters and degrees of inexperience and ignorance. On the other hand, elected members must also contend with councils which often seem to have the “tail wagging the dog”; that is, the officers calling the shots when in reality it should be councillors making vital decisions – but again, not necessarily all decisions. I know this sticks in the craw of many councillors who become frustrated by their inability to have any perceived impact on what is happening within the wards. This is understandable; but at the same time simple workaday chores should not need the imprimatur of an over-zealous councillor. But wouldn’t you, as a resident, want your councillor pushing the barrow in your ward? Does the rusty gate get the oil? To ask another question, what is your opinion? Do we harshly cut the number of councillors and reduce wards,

thereby foisting more responsibility on those who do take on an often thankless task because they believe they can help their community? By having fewer councillors it might be easier to find people who are willing to step forward. We might get a small group of talented people making much faster decisions. But their workload and responsibilities undoubtedly would increase. Many readers would not realise the plethora of community committee meetings councillors are expected to attend; hours of involvement which goes way beyond listening to gripes about potholes on roads or opening a fete. And they commit to this for a four-year term, with really not much financial compensation for their time. Each councillor would say they do not do it for gain ...but maybe it is time to pay more than peanuts for a job not many seem willing to take on. Then reduce numbers and wards accordingly. It just seems to make sense.

Review prompts fiery debate • From Page 1 This failed to find a seconder, so the motion lapsed. “If we go down the path of having one councillor per ward it makes it very difficult for people like myself who work full time,” said councillor Kelly Bickle. She believed increasing the workload through reducing councillor numbers would reduce the number of potential candidates because of the increased time involved. Cr Hudson then told Cr Bickle if that’s the way she felt then she should “get off” council. His attack wasn’t limited to Cr Bickle, with

Cr Hudson also questioning deputy mayor Barry Nottle’s role on council. Council’s finance manager, Steve Jonas, prepared several possible models for council to select from, with variations to councillor numbers, wards, and no wards. As councillors voted to retain wards rather than go to a no-wards system, and the need to meet quotas, he said it was a “mathematical improbability” to find a successful model for seven, eight or nine councillors, leaving elected members with a choice of six, 10 or 11, plus a mayor. With councillors voting for 10 plus a mayor, and four wards, Mr Jonas is now preparing a

report for the electoral commission, and the community will also be consulted through public consultation. Other councils are also reviewing their elector representation, with District Council of Mallala yet to make a decision. Clare and Gilbert Valleys Council has voted to continue without wards and retain nine area councillors, with its mayor continuing to be elected by the community. Playford City Council made its decision earlier this month, and will have 15 elected members, a mayor, and six wards. Councils are required to review their elector representation every eight years.

When choosing a wards system, the ratio of electors per elected member must fall within defined percentage quotas so the number of ratepayers represented per councillor is even. A map of the new WRC wards will be finalised today (Wednesday) and a report available on council’s website during public consultation, which continues until Friday, August 21. The report can be viewed online at www.wakefiedrc.sa.gov.au, or ring council on 8862 0800 to arrange a copy. • Have your say. Vote on the Plains Producer web poll – www. plainsproducer.com.au

about it. However, in Balaklava, Ruth Smith and Joanne Anderson shared their views. JoanneAnderson does not believe councillors should set their own allowances, and thinks the move to an independent tribunal would be a good thing. “If they get an independent body they can say well everybody in that area should be on the same allowance and bring them into line with each other,” she said. “Then it’s harder for people to take advantage of their position.” Ruth Smith said she had never thought about councillors setting their own allowances until she was asked by the Plains Producer. “My dad spent years

Developer fronts residents on rental scheme Developer Colin Steinert spoke with those concerned about the Wattle Ridge affordable housing project at an information forum held last week. Sixteen members of the public attended on Tuesday evening, along with Member for Goyder, Steven Griffiths; deputy mayor and chair of the Economic Development Committee, Barry Nottle; Yorke Regional Development Board economic development

officer, Bridget Sara; and Wakefield Regional Council chief executive officer, Phil Barry. Mr Barry said it was an opportunity for the community to voice their concerns and for Mr Steinert to clear up any confusion. “It was a much needed information forum so the facts and details could be laid on the table rather than the rumour and misinformation that may be occurring in the community,” he said.

In addition to answering questions from the community, Mr Steinert revealed that while Lutheran Community Homes was managing the rental properties, which are available to low income earners, he was also taking part in the tenant selection process himself. Based on his experience in other property developments with a mix of owner occupied and affordable housing accommodation, Mr

Sounds like fun

Steinert said he was confident values would not be reduced. Mr Barry said there were also much stricter conditions in place for properties in Wattle Ridge than in any other area in Balaklava in terms of building and property appearance. The information forum was organised by Mr Barry after Wattle Ridge residents raised concerns with council, the developer, and through this newspaper.

NORTHERN EXPRESSWAY:

First bridge for Angle Vale road

The first of 15 new bridges on the $564 million Northern Expressway opened to traffic for the first time yesterday (Tuesday). After more than 15,000 hours of labour, the new Angle Vale Bridge was opened. The bridge is made of 10, 55 tonne pre-cast concrete beams; 650 cubic metres of poured concrete; 100 tonnes of reinforcing steel; and 26, 3.2 tonne pre-cast concrete barriers. The Northern Expressway project is now running well ahead of schedule, and will be completed in September 2010. The expressway spans 23 kilometres, linking the Sturt Highway with Port Wakefield Road to cut travel time between Adelaide and the northern regions by 20 minutes, and taking thousands of trucks off local roads. More than 2200 people have already been employed on the project. PICTURE: Lisa Redpath

OUNG musicians – and many others – will be striving for noteworthy performances when the Balaklava Eisteddfod continues this Friday to Sunday. Hundreds of students from all over South Australia will descend on the town for performances starting at 8.40am with a choral workshop at Uniting church. Balaklava violinist Emily Taylor (above) is competing in the instrumental section and sibling rivalry will grow in the Furst household at Redbanks. Georgia, eight, and Jackson, nine, (at left) will compete against each other in the junior piano solo. The pair have been practising hard for their first eisteddfod, and while Georgia believes she is going to beat her brother, their mum, Lynne, assures they are not in it for the competition. “It’s purely for the experience,” she said. Georgia has been playing for two years and Jackson four, after both were inspired by their musical grandparents and mother. Georgia and Jackson will be up against 12 other hopefuls with entrants in the piano and instrumental sections booming this year. The concert finale will be held at Balaklava Town Hall on Sunday from 2.30pm. Tickets to all venues are available at the Eisteddfod office in the town hall all weekend. • See advertisement, page 14.

Highway work beats deadline and budget

A section of the Sturt Highway duplication was officially opened yesterday (Tuesday), four months ahead of schedule and under budget. Minister for Infrastructure, Regional Development and Local Government, Anthony Albanese, opened the section between Gawler and Daveyston. It was the third and final stage of the Federal government’s $159 million investment in the highway between Adelaide and the Riverland. “I congratulate the South Australian government for moving so quickly and effectively to put Federal dollars to work improving safety, creating jobs and building a modern road network,” Mr Albanese said. Budget savings are being used to deliver further safety improvements, including the duplication of 3.5 kilometres between Seppeltsfield Road and Greenock Road. A new rest area was also built near Laucke’s Mill.

Police arrest trio on ‘hoon’ driving Three drivers believed to have been involved in an incident of hoon driving at Lower Light last month have been arrested. On Sunday, June 28, police received reports of alleged misuse of motor vehicles in Firle and Lower Light, when large groups of vehicles gathered and conducted hoon activities. Three drivers were arrested, and last Wednesday, officers from Operation Task Force Diagonal arrested a 23-year-old Salisbury Park man in connection to the incident. The man was charged with one count of misuse of a motor vehicle, one count of acts to endanger life, and one count of driving in a manner dangerous. The man was bailed to appear at Elizabeth Magistrates Court on Wednesday, August 26. His vehicle was seized and impounded. Further enquiries continue with other possible suspects. Police remind drivers they must drive responsibly and obey all road rules, and dangerous driving behaviour will not be tolerated. Mallala • A Hamley Bridge man was charged last week after a police raid in Mallala uncovered stockpiles of drugs and hydroponic equipment. The 38-year-old was arrested almost a week after cannabis, hash and growing equipment was found at a property on Old Dublin road.

Plains Producer, Wednesday July 29, 2009

Mallala in Barossa board switch Distict Council of Mallala will no longer be a member of the Yorke region when development boards cease to exist at the end of this year. Council is currently part of Yorke Regional Development Board, but when the 13 development boards and area consultative committees are merged into seven Regional Development Australia boards on December 30, Mallala will become part of the Barossa region.

This will also include Gawler, Barossa, and Light councils. YRDB chair and Mallala farmer, Ian O’Loan, said he believed the alignment with these councils would be beneficial for the region. “With new subdivisions and development coming through it’s very important to have alignment as a whole region,” he told council at its meeting last week. He also told council it needed to take an

active role with the RDA. “If council is not an active member of RDA you will not be able to access funding from the Commonwealth,” Mr O’Loan said. “You will still get the local government grants, but the access to regional development infrastructure grants will not be available.” He said council could also learn from the strengths of YRDB. “One of the strengths of YRDB against

the other boards is we have the chief executive officers as members on our board,” Mr O’Loan said. He urged councillors to appoint the incoming Mallala chief executive officer, Charles Mansueto, to the new RDA board. Because of the change of boundaries, Mr O’Loan will be ineligible to be on the Yorke RDA, but said he would be applying for a position on the Barossa board.

More help for schools

Brinkworth group gives history a ‘helping hand’

Nineteen local kindergartens and schools are among 520 across the state to receive funding for green measures through the State Government’s annual Green Schools program. Riverton and District high school is the big local winner receiving the maximum allocation of $10,000 to implement recommendations resulting from electricity audits of the school. Meanwhile $1000 will go to Balaklava Community, Clare Valley and Two Wells Community children’s centres; Brinkworth Preschool; Freeling, Mallala and Virginia child parent centres; Hamley Bridge, Kapunda, Port Wakefield, Riverton and Snowtown kindergartens; and Saddleworth Early Learning Centre to improve water efficiency through the purchase of rainwater tanks. Balaklava, Hamley Bridge, Koolunga, Mallala and Owen primary schools will receive $1000 each to assist with water efficiency through improved metering.

Brinkworth History Group has been repairing its museum building over recent months. The group works to preserve the community’s historical records, and the 100-year-old building – a former church – was badly in need of repair. Roof vents were recently installed to prevent twisting and warping of match boards by creating a natural airflow. • Fred Groom is shown pointing to the new vents. The history group is now waiting on a stonemason to repair the western wall and rebuild the original tank stand so a rainwater tank and downpipes can be completed. The wall repairs are needed to eliminate water ingressing to the interior of the building.

NEWS v Coastal towns

Residents fight to halt flood threat Rising tides challenge levee banks at Parham, Webb Beach

Coastal communities are lobbying Mallala council to improve their levee banks, concerned about potential flooding during abnormally high tides. With extra high tides seeming to increase in frequency, sheds on the foreshore at Webb Beach and Parham were inundated earlier this year, and locals are concerned the shellgrit levees will not be strong enough to withstand the next high tide. A petition containing 47 signatures was put before council earlier this month. In a letter to council, Parham resident Barb Reid said most of the levees at Parham and Webb Beach had been repaired by council after recent flooding on Anzac Day. However, she said residents were concerned this was simply a reaction to a situation, and said council must commit to repairing, enhancing and maintaining levees to the towns. Mrs Reid said the levees were topped up in 1994 after the threat of a flood, but no ongoing maintenance had occurred since. “Last year after a storm surge, Alwyn Jenkin and I took survey levels along the current levees,” Mrs Reid said. “In several places, the sea came within inches of breaching levees.” These survey results have been passed on to council. Mrs Reid said on Anzac Day, there were minor breaches along the foreshore and two major breaches at the south end of town, with flooding at the end of Prime Street from two sources. The levee on the foreshore near the southern roundabout had been damaged, letting through water, and at the end of Prime street, the levee was compromised by rabbit holes and erosion caused by mo-

There has also been severe damage at the northern end of the beach, adjoining the proof range fence. “The embankment has been washed away and tidal water now streams through this area and if not repaired, will flood the town from the north,” Mrs Reid said. District Council of Mallala now has a Coastal Townships Levee Banks Project Steering Committee, which advises council of the needs of the townships. At the council meeting last week, those

from coastal communities who attended were told $38,000 had been approved for survey work and sea flood mapping for Parham and Webb Beach, and depending on the costs, may include Thompson Beach and Middle Beach. Tendering will take place before the end of this year. However, council’s acting chief executive officer, Henri Mueller, said locals should inform council of any areas that needed immediate repair. Meanwhile, survey work at Thompson Beach has been completed for about $6000, with low spots identified along the front of the township. Design options for levee banks are now being prepared.

Chooks and chicks craft friendship

Caring, helping others and ourselves with kindness in a safe and secure environment. That’s Chooks and Chicks. After retiring from a career of caring for others, Port Wakefield’s Jan Higgs recognised the need for a group to care for the women of the town, and started the Chooks and Chicks Community Craft and Friendship Group. The “chooks” are those aged more than 50, and the “chicks” those under. “Recently we’ve been joined by ‘chickens’, babies of the chicks,” said Jan. “The group meets every week, except during school holidays and although there is a craft activity organised, it’s not the focus.

“We have many women who have been through many of the life experiences younger ones are going through now and just having someone to talk to can help so much. The ladies are also eager to pass on their craft skills.” Some of the activities planned for this term are folk art, card making, scrap booking and cushion making. Everyone is welcome to attend and the group meets on Wednesdays, between 10am and 2pm at the Uniting Church Hall, Mine Street, Port Wakefield. “We open at 9am and encourage people to come early and have a coffee and chat,” Jan said. Contact Jan on 8867 1509.

Blyth’s ‘tree troopers’ mark 20 years THREE thousand seedlings were planted along the old railway corridor south of town, at the 20th Annual Blyth Community Tree Planting day on Sunday. Apart from just one shower interrupting proceedings, the afternoon was perfect for a chat and a bit of tree planting for the 30 locals who turned out to help.

As usual there were lots of laughs and with “Showdown” on the radio the rivalry between Crows and Port supporters soon became evident. Children had fun doing a bit of planting followed by lots of exploring in the creeks, drains, old ruins and chasing the bunny rabbits running from hole to hole. Tree planting coordinator, Ian Roberts, predicts

children and landowners in the district will plant another 2500 trees in the next week or two. Blyth’s Master chefs were at their best at afternoon tea when they “plated up” a variety of vegetable based cakes including chocolate and beetroot cake, potato cake and carrot cake. Judges declared them all winners and the chefs will be invited to return and cook

for next year’s 21st birthday celebrations. Planters returned to the Schultz residence to enjoy a hot cup of soup and barbecue. The annual event is organised by Blyth Progress Association. • RIGHT: Bailey Jacka, Nick Schultz, Ian Roberts, with Ruby and Charlie Jacka get set to go. o Advertising Feature

Luckily for Joff and his customers, he was able to remain open while the bar was rebuilt.

A ‘natural selection’ Riverton artist James Deans has received third prize in the Waterhouse Natural History Art Prize. With a panel of four highly regarded judges, including prominent Australian artist Garry Shead, it is a great achievement and comes with $2,500 in prize money in category B: works on paper. ‘The Natural Selection Process’, was described as “delicate and beautiful” by the judges. James said of his entry: “The Natural Selection Process takes its title from a theoretical and scientific discovery. It is an irresistible force acting on all life. However, sadly in the struggle for survival today, it has taken on a differ-

ent meaning – the threat of extinction rather than the evolutionary process. I have selected one species and a concept in an attempt to draw our attention to this irony.” The judges said: “James’ work is a bold conception using a repeated image in a tapestry-like pattern. “The work evokes a palimpsest of evolution, an interesting reference to the Darwinian theory of evolution.” The overall prize of $50,000 was awarded to Matilda Mitchell from Sydney. All prize-winning and finalists’ works will be on display at the South Australian Museum until September 6.

Suggestions flow for 2010:

Festival may get change of name Renaming the Adelaide Plains Cup Festival was one of several suggestions put forward to improve the annual event recently. Event organisers suggested changing the name to Adelaide Plains Festival to reduce any confusion about the festival being only related to horse racing events. In a report to Wakefield Regional Council, Adelaide Plains Marketing committee minutes for June revealed other discussion points. These included further promotion to Adelaide residents, more signage to promote the festival, and possibly have the event bi-annually, rather than each year. In addition, it was suggested a list of possible events be formed, and community groups targeted to consider hosting events, and a best decorated town street/ shop window competition could be held. Concerns included the appearance of the

region during February and March when the festival is held, and it was questioned whether the race date could be changed for the 2011 festival to a time when the area was more attractive, and the festival would collide with fewer major events. During the 2009 festival, more than 4500 people attended 18 events held across the Adelaide Plains. This was a decrease from the previous year, with larger events like Cinema Under the Stars at Virginia (which drew a crowd of nearly 1000 in 2007) and the Balaklava Bead Fair not being held. The timing of the festival also coincided with a Day on the Green at Clare, Marrabel Rodeo, and the Adelaide Fringe Festival, as well as the Caravan and Camping Show. Next year’s festival will take place from February 26 to February 28.

LETTER to the Editor

Message to grave robbers

On fulfilling a promise to my late husband Alan to keep flowers on Shirley Aldenhoven’s grave, on Sunday afternoon I replaced the dead flowers with fresh flowers. On Monday I topped the vase up with water. On Wednesday I went to do the same, only to find the flowers had been removed. This is not the first time this has happened – it has happened many times. I hope the person/persons who keeps doing this realises how much it is a sacrilege and a huge act of disrespect not only to leave dead flowers on a grave, but to then take the replacements from the resting place of a loved one. I hope they enjoyed the flowers. Jeanette Aldenhoven, Balaklava

Supported by Balaklava Veterinary Service. Phone: 8862 2088 Birds make wonderful pets as they’re cheerful and friendly and come in a wide variety of shapes, colours and sizes. If you have only a small area for your bird, keep in mind the smaller breeds such as Budgies, Finches, Canaries and Lovebirds which do not require large aviaries. Smaller birds are easier to handle and are normally quieter. Birds such as Cockatoos and Parrots, while excellent talkers, are also well known for their noisy squawking and are only suitable for people who do not have close neighbours.

Choosing the right bird and Cockatiels are a good choice. While male Canaries cost almost double that of females, they’ll reward you with their pretty song. You also need to think about lifespan. Budgies may only live for five to 15 years but other birds such as Parrots may live to 50 years and Cockatoos up to 100! All birds love space so buy the largest cage you can, making sure they can

fully extend their wings. Birds are social so it’s important that they have company. A lonely bird will often develop behavioural problems like feather picking or never-ending screeching which will distress you and your neighbours. Some birds such as the native Lorikeet require specialised diets which can be expensive and time consuming. Other birds are happy with commercial seed mixes and

Some pet stores hand-rear birds that grow into tame, easy to handle pets that are happy to come out of their cages. Make sure that that any bird is fully weaned before taking it home.

Dawkins will keep watch on regional development Liberal MLC John Dawkins, recently appointed as Liberal Shadow Minister for Regional Development, the Northern Suburbs and State Infrastructure Plans, remains concerned about amalgamations of Regional Development Boards. “I will be watching closely to ensure Federal and State governments meet their commitments,” Mr Dawkins said. Local boards are to be amalgamated with Federal Area Consultative Committees by the end of the year. Former premier, Rob Kerin, is overseeing the process. Mr Dawkins also stressed the lack of community consultation on the role of the new office of the northern suburbs. “Northern Connections, as it is known, can play a realistic and positive role, but only if it has the same focus as Local Government and other key stakeholders.” Mr Dawkins also highlighted the importance of genuinely consulting every sector of the state regarding the infrastructure needed over the next five, 10, 15 to 20 years. “The current Labor government has put a lot of money into its Strategic Plan – but a rail yards hospital, trams and the Anzac Highway underpass never featured in those plans.” “It also concerns me t people in a range of communities are sick of going to ‘consultation’forums held by the Government – only to be told what is going to happen,” he said. “I value the opportunity in Shadow Cabinet to highlight the aims of regional and northern suburbs communities, and the infrastructure they desire.” Mr Dawkins previously was Parliamentary Secretary to the Leader for his portfolios.

Mallala part of grand plan

Mallala councillors indicated they wished to be involved in having their say on the Draft Plan for Greater Adelaide. District Council of Mallala last week asked its elected members if they wished to participate in a focus group to discuss council’s submission on the plan. Every councillor, with the exception of Joe Daniele who has been granted leave as he is overseas, said they wanted to be involved. The draft was launched on July 6, and consultation closes on September 20. It can be viewed at www. plan4adelaide.sa.gov.au

Clubs seek council OK on liquor licence changes

Two local sporting organisations are applying for alterations to their liquor licences. Blyth Golf Club is in the process of redefining its consumption area to include the whole of the course proper. Currently, licensing conditions mean it is illegal to consume alcohol on the course if it is purchased from the club’s bar, but not if it is purchased elsewhere. Balaklava Racing Club is also applying for a liquor ‘club’ licence, having previously only applied for limited liquor licences on an “as needs” basis. Both clubs sought approval of council as part of the application process. In a letter to Wakefield regional Council council, BRC’s administration and finance officer, Re-

beka Nyland, said the club had been advised by the Office of Liquor and Gambling to apply for a club licence because police could intervene on future limited licence applications. “They may deny our limited licence applications, causing our race days to be cancelled,” she said. Rebeka asked for an immediate response from council, as the application process takes six to eight weeks, and the licence needs to be in place before the Balaklava Cup on September 2. Council didn’t object to the licence application, but asked the hours be restricted to 11am to midnight on Saturdays, and on days when scheduled race events occurred at the venue, be restricted to 9am to 8pm.

Cash splash on local swimming pools

Wakefield Regional Council has added another $4500 to its 2008/2009 pools maintenance program and endorsed projects totalling $74,800 for 2009/2010, of which $34,540 will come from council. Last year’s pools maintenance budget was overspent because of the unexpected cost of installing a chlorine storage tank and safety shower at each pool as part of the Occupational Health Safety and Welfare requirements. This year’s projects are: Hamley Bridge – $7300 for two new pumps for chlorine and acid, replacing half of the old bench seating and an automatic water quality tester for ph and acid levels. Owen – $14,000 to repair a major leak, with a contribution of $7000 from the pool committee and $7000 from council. Balaklava – $53,500 for major repairs to the filter system, with a contribution of $15,000 by the pool committee, a grant of $18,500 being sought and $20,240 from council.

Business

Tax Break

To help Australian businesses, a temporary tax break is available on plant and equipment you need to buy to keep your business running.

The tax break is not a refund, rebate or tax offset. It’s a tax deduction to reduce the assessable income of your business. Deadlines apply.

50% tax break for businesses with turnover less than $2 million. If you own a small business that turns over less than $2 million a year, you can claim an extra 50% tax deduction on the cost of eligible assets which cost $1,000 or more. To qualify, the asset must be bought between 13 December 2008 and 31 December 2009 and be installed by 31 December 2010.

30% or 10% tax break for businesses with turnover of $2 million or more.

To qualify for the 30% tax deduction, the asset had to have been bought between 13 December 2008 and 30 June 2009. It will need to be installed by 30 June 2010. The 10% tax deduction is available depending on when the asset was bought. It needs to be installed by 31 December 2010.

What can I buy? The tax break covers new, tangible, depreciating assets such as: cars, vans, trucks and other business vehicles computer hardware (but not software) tools furniture. It also covers capital improvements to existing machinery and equipment.

Where do I find out more? Contact your tax adviser, visit the website www.australia.gov.au/businesstaxbreak or phone the business tax break info line on 1300 337 921.

Larger businesses may qualify for an extra tax deduction on eligible assets which cost $10,000 or more.

Mayor’s Diary

Council’s ‘Community Cabinet’ opportunity

AKEFIELD Regional Council took an opportunity to raise important matters within our region when the State government held another of its “Community Cabinet” meetings. Our council was invited to attend the meeting in Port Pirie last Tuesday, creating something of a breakthrough as we have not been at any other “Community Cabinet” meetings during the term of the current Rann government. I attended with council chief executive officer, Phil Barry, and we delivered a presentation to a group of Ministers which included Treasurer Kevin Foley, Minister for State/Local Government Relations, Gail Gago, Minister for the River Murray and Water Security, Karlene Maywald and Attorney General, Michael Atkinson.

$150,000 planning bill to create ‘new look’ Balaklava Balaklava’s “Masterplan” could cost $150,000 to prepare the first stage. But Wakefield Regional

Council is hoping to cut that cost by half. Council has applied for funding to the State government’s “Places for People”

program to progress the plan to allow preparation of concept plans for the town centre. Yorke Regional Develop-

Local issues at Federal level ANOTHER meeting at City of Playford, Elizabeth, last Monday gave me the chance to raise local issues at a Federal level. This time I was a representative of the Wakefield Group of Councils which met with Federal MP, Catherine King, who not only is Member for Ballarat but chair of Federal parliament’s Federal Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government Standing Committee on the Global Financial Crisis on Regional Australia. The Wakefield Group – which includes Wakefield Regional Council in a collective of neighbouring rural and northern metropolitan councils – had submitted a report to the Federal government relating to the economic downturn and how it might impact locally. Whilst it appears the downturn fortunately has not had a huge impact, the meeting became a forum for Wakefield group members to present an update on our regions to a significant chairperson with direct links to the Federal government’s role in local government. When presenting her report to Federal parliament last month, Ms King indicated an ongoing grant system was recommended because “local governments are struggling to provide sufficient levels of infrastructure for the communities.

Let umpire decide allowances It is a welcome move councillors will no longer be able to determine their own allowances after the next local government election in 2010. This has always been difficult for elected members. Minister for State/Local Government Relations, Gail Gago’s recent move, allows more transparency, with an independent “umpire” the only way to go.

Councils want four RDA reps COUNCILS of the Central Local Government region will on August 14 decide who will be local government’s representatives on the new Mid North and Yorke management committee for the Regional Development Australia board. Councils are recommending four representatives (split between elected members and council officers). This column is sponsored by:

ment Board economic development officer, Bridget Sara, prepared the application, hoping to receive $75,000 of the $150,000 cost to prepare concept plans for the town centre. This includes plans for the entrance statements and Ralli Park precinct. The Masterplan is part of council’s 20/20 vision for Balaklava. It is hoped council will know in August if it has been successful in obtaining funding.

Now no gun for Wakefield town

Getting our message across THIS was a real chance for us to deliver a very strong message to the government. Of course, we raised many positives – but we also flagged the very real needs of a region which is growing fast. A key point which often is taken for granted by local residents is that our region mostly is about an hour’s drive from the city. This is an important factor to be considered when governments plan future growth and development. And there’s a four lane highway running right through our council district to Port Wakefield! Our declared positives related to growth in the poultry and pork industries, Primo Australia, the Snowtown wind farm, increasing potential of the Bowmans Intermodal site and developments like Wakefield Waters. The negatives are well-known to most of us; water supplies for both domestic and commercial use (lack of water is hampering further poultry farm growth) and road train access to Bowmans and other infrastructure needs.

The proposed tourism display and gun at Port Wakefield will not proceed. Grant money was sourced to place a gun and tourism display at the proposed shopping centre, but because work has still not begun on the centre - and doesn’t appear likely to occur in the near future – the grant funding has been returned. The project was initially proposed when the former gun on the highway was removed, sparking community protest. However, a new gun has since been put in place at the turn off to Bald Hill beach and the proof range.

HAMLEY BRIDGE:

Medical centre gets rate rebate

Hamley Bridge Medical Centre will not have to pay council rates. Wakefield Regional Council last week granted a 100 per cent rebate on general rates, although the business will still have to pay waste collection and CWMS charges. However, councillors were divided on the issue, with some believing council had done more than enough in not only giving away the building itself, but also about $100,000 to refurbish it for a private business. Councillor Avon Hudson was vehemently opposed to the decision. Had council chosen not to grant any rebate, the 2009/10 rates owed would have been $810.54. Council’s budget had already taken into account the expected rates rebate. Parklands The third stage of the Balaklava Parklands project is almost completed. Grant funding was extended until the end of September, and a barbecue and shelter shed will be put in place by high school students in the coming weeks.

It was a big night for Brinkworth’s 29th annual winetasting – but not before a lot of hard work behind the scenes. About 200 people converged on the town to sample the wines of some 50 to 70 different wines provided by 16 different local wineries. Following the winetasting, guests were treated to a smorgasbord with a dressed pig, donated by Buster and Helen Weckert, and cooked on a spit, taking pride of place on the smorgasbord table, which is full of a vast array of food. At the conclusion of dinner, tables were pushed aside and guests danced the night away to the tunes of popular Burra band Free Spirit. The event is the major fundraiser for the Brinkworth hall and made possible by the many locals who volunteer their time to make the event a success.

Magpies demolish Bombers A grade By Lindsay Nesbit Hamley Bridge turned on champagne weather and Mallala turned on champagne football, in a 25 goal plus demolition of the Bombers. It turned out to be a perfect day for football. A big crowd, the oval in best ever condition, and a perfect day for Mallala stalwart Daniel ‘DJ’ Jennings playing his 150th game. It was top versus bottom, and the match went virtually as expected. Mallala, minus a couple of players due to injury, gave James Barr, Matt Saunders, and Jonno Wildbore a chance to have another run at ‘A’ grade level. For the first five minutes Hamley Bridge held Mallala to no score. With Justin Schahinger winning in ruck, it looked like Hamley might be able to make at least a reasonable contest of it. The illusion was quickly shattered. Angus Bruggeman presenting himself with strong marks. Mallala attacking early, it was only a matter of time before the floodgates opened. Brad Hardie was the first Mallala player to keep the goal umpire busy waving two flags. The Bombers were already starting to feel the pressure. A misdirected kick to Liam Whitwell didn’t help, and when the ball went to Christian Rimmer the goal compounded the Bombers woes. Daniel Feeley, a clever mark and goal. The first of two goals of the day to Matt Saunders. Things were turning very ugly very quickly for Hamley. Brian Montgomery another major for Mallala and already the visitors looked more than several classes above the home side. On one of the very few occasions the ball went into the Bombers forward zone, it ended up going from David Cawrse at the Mallala full back position to full forward, untouched by Hamley players. Result, another goal to Matt Saunders. The big bloke hav-

ing a cracker of a first quarter. The Mallala midfield was ‘killing ‘em’. Only the 50 per cent scoreboard accuracy saving Hamley from a complete first quarter blowout. After one term Hamley were in more strife than the early settlers. The second quarter became almost a replica of the first. Mallala scored a point, but the ordinary kick-in was marked by Mallala. A pass to Matthew Birchmore, another Mallala goal. The Pies turned up the pressure and it became another six goal term for the visitors. Daniel Feeley with three to his name at the main break. Joel Montgomerie, Brad Hardie, and Christian Rimmer meeting little opposition. The few times the Bombers went into attack the pressure from Mallala forced them into kicking from a long way out. Mallala’s defenders too quick, skilful, and playing in front, able to gather the ball too easily. Hamley rarely looking likely to score a goal. Justin Schahinger, Luke Slok, Matt Norman, and Stuart Gregory battling manfully against overwhelming odds. A rare second quarter highlight for the Bombers was a big mark by Joel Latimer. Mallala could have done even better but for five consecutive behinds to end the term. After the main break things didn’t change for the Bombers, if anything they got worse. Mallala’s most productive quarter scoring wise. A 10 goal term for Mallala, Hamley not even getting on the scoreboard. Daniel Feeley opened the term with his fourth. Liam Heeley, a reliable back pocket ran up the ground to kick a goal. Mallala were doing as they pleased. Brad

Griffiths goaled after eluding four Hamley defenders. At one centre bounce Brian Montgomery lined up on a wing, Angus Bruggeman to full forward, and ‘Gus’ played his part with three goals in a row for the quarter. One coming after some ill-directed advice to the umpire resulted in a 50m penalty. Hamley were getting no easy kicks. Brad Hardie oozed skill, class, and perfect ball placement. Brett Start one of the best on-the-run pickups to be seen. ‘Starters’ pass to Christian Rimmer perfect, resulting in the 10th goal of the quarter. Interest in the last term mainly around could Mallala get to 30 goals, and could Hamley get a goal? Brett Start began the last quarter with a goal. From a fair way out the ball went through the big sticks dead centre. A good Bomber mark saw the ball end up with Brett Burgess. The classy forward had rarely seen the ball all game, but he made no mistake. At long last Hamley had broken the ice. A huge roar went up from the crowd with the Burgess goal. Brett Burgess graciously acknowledged the crowd support. Unfortunately neither Burgess, nor any other Bomber looked likely to repeat the effort. The ball almost exclusively in the Mallala forward lines. Hamley were let off the hook to a certain extent when 14 scoring shots produced only four goals, including a string of seven consecutive behinds. The 30 goal mark proving impossible with this sort of inaccuracy. Joe Danis showing what a good pair of hands he has with some excellent marking. Angus Bruggeman kicking the last two goals of the

match ending up joining Daniel Feeley with a total of five. Aside from Justin Schahinger, who was the only Bomber to be effective on the day, Hamley had plenty of triers but few winners. Luke Slok, Joel Latimer, Matt

Norman, Stuart Gregory, and defenders Matthew Koch, Luke Smith, and Todd MacKereth who all saw plenty of the ball, usually under enormous pressure. Mallala with no passengers. It really was a case of all played well. Joel Mont-

gomerie outstanding, Brad Hardie brilliant, Christian Rimmer at his best. The list could go on and on. Daniel Jennings’s 150th proving to be one of his easier games in defence. ‘DJ’ was appropriately chaired off the ground.

Mallala blow game apart, leaving Hamley in sixth place reserves

Hamley Bridge needed a win to keep their finals dream alive, and defend the premiership crown…Mallala had other ideas. Other results conspired to drop Hamley to sixth on the table when Mallala recorded a comfortable 36 point win. After a dour first quarter that saw the Bombers score the only goal, Mallala blew the game open in the second quarter. Leading by three goals at half time, Mallala matched a charged up Hamley in the third quarter before running away with a win in the last term. Mallala had plenty of highlights in what was a real danger game for them. Ryan Russell in his first game back after a 10 week layoff with a knee injury kicked three goals and was a real inspiration. David Pontt not only also kicked three goals but played his best game of the year. Pontt was simply brilliant. ‘Big’ Sam Irish rucked all day against taller opponents, and more than held his own. Rhys Argent and Sam Angus alternated between playing on the wing, and having a run on the ball. Both players setting up many Mallala attacking moves. Throw in Kyle Jamieson and ‘Mr. Reliable’, Paul Blacket, and Mallala had a winning formula. And that fails to mention the efforts of Graham White, Tom Jenkin, Jason King, Brett Tucker, Jase Morgan and full back Ryan ‘Shooter’ McGannon. Hamley came back in the third quarter, but simply didn’t have enough when it mattered. Ben ‘BJ’ Haggerty again put in a solid performance, as did Justin Lampard. Along with Lachlan O’Neil, all scored two goals for the Bombers on a day where it just wasn’t quite enough. The Bombers playing ‘catch up’ football after half time. Scott Rademacher, Leighton Rowsell (apart from a 50m penalty), and Ian ‘Nuts’ Naulty gave their all for the Bombers. Unfortunately it wasn’t enough on a day where more was needed. Mallala remains second on the ladder, on percentage only to league leaders Two Wells. Hamley still in there but will be required to find something to see finals action.

Mallala 13-8 (86) d Hamley Bridge 7-8 (50)

Senior Colts

Second last versus last looked like being a close contest, and that was exactly the way it turned out when Mallala prevailed by nine points in an absorbing contest. The winless Bombers with a modest percentage of 12.86, the lowest of any grade, took it right up to the visitors. In all four quarters there was only ever a goal in it at any time. After the teams were deadlocked at quarter time, Mallala managed to edge ahead by a goal at half time, and maintain that margin until the end. Mallala kicking only the one extra point in the second half. Andrew Power kicked three for the Bombers, and was the best of the forwards. Sam Collings followed up with another two to go with his single in Junior Colts. Ben Case and Mason O’Neil contributed singles. Lewis Helps and Jono Hallion kicked two apiece for Mallala, with singles from Dale McLean, Alec Burt, Jarrod Mollinar, and Jake Drew. Not only was Andrew Power the most prolific goal scorer for the Bombers with three, he was also the most prolific goal scorer in the game, and was best on ground for the home team. Tyler Darwin playing in his second game for the day also again figured in the Bombers’ best. Mitchell Gregory, Ben Case, Ben Fritz, and Justin Smith were other Hamley players to put in four quarter efforts. Mallala’s Jake Drew, Dane McLean, and Jono Hallion did enough to see Mallala victorious. Capably backed up by Russell Helps, Guy Brennan, and Alec Burt. The visitors victorious and always able to find just that little bit extra when required to ensure Mallala walked away with the spoils.

Junior Colts

Hamley Bridge scored an upset seven point win over the more highly fancied Mallala side. Going into the game in sixth place, Hamley Bridge set up victory

with a dominant first quarter when the Bombers kicked nearly half their final score. The first quarter also saw Mallala held scoreless. Mallala recovered in the second term to get back into the match, but the Bombers still held sway at half time with a seven point lead, a lead Hamley maintained until games end. After half time Mallala had numerous chances to steal a win, but the Bombers kept their heads, and most importantly stayed in front on the scoreboard. Both sides kicked a total of 13 points after half time, but it was the Bombers two goals one to Mallala’s one goal seven that saw Hamley get over the line. Mallala’s wasteful kicking not helping their cause. In front from start to finish, Hamley would have been unlucky to lose. The six goals to Hamley scored by six individual players. Jake Birchmore for Mallala the game’s only multiple goal scorer with two. Sam Collings, Tyler Darwin, Matt Campian, Sam Hill, Dylan Collings, and Nathan Pycroft the best of the Bombers. Ben O’Leary in his best performance for Mallala, Reece Svetec at centre half back, Zak Hallion in the centre, Hugh Kirvan, Josh Watson, and full back Ryan Konzag the pick of the Pies. The win keeps Hamley in the mix for a finals berth. While Mallala will still hold down second place, the loss has no doubt given Coach Chris Hummell food for thought.

Roosters earn win over Tigers By Bronte Hewett

A grade

WIlliam Sansbury, Two Wells looks to get a kick away before Tiger Brad Shimmin pounces in the A grade game.

The Two Wells Roosters had a well-earned win against United at home, in a neck in neck match which ended with the Roosters pushing out to a 42 point victory in the last quarter. The Roosters got off to the better start, with four early goals to the Tigers nil. Hard work through the field from Andrew Hardiman and Tallen Leighton set up the Roosters forward line action. United bounced back with two goals and went into quarter time looking very competitive. Peter Cook and Adrian Mills were fast and started out hard for United. Two Wells led by two goals, 4.1 – 2.3 at quarter time. The second quarter went the Tigers way, as they took the lead during the opening minutes with two quick goals. Two Wells had moments of messy football offensively and defensively, but good control and solid deliveries from Willy Sansbury pushed the Roosters to stay in the game. Michael Davey was productive in the goal square, using his height and strong hands to overcome defence. After some early mis-kicks, Wally Hand

regained his kicking form, and also took some impressive marks in the Rooster forward line to keep his side in the contest. After a goal late in the term, the Tigers went into the main break with a two point lead, seemingly setting the game up for another nail-biter. Under a lot of pressure, the Roosters made several skill errors and weren’t kicking straight. Matt East and Adrian Mills controlled the Tiger mid-field and were influential in their attacking. Lee Allmond again played an important role on the ball, and again brought out the goods for the Roosters to play a fast, open game. Ben Spiteri pressured the ball all across the field, while Nathan Applebee also showed solid defence and hard tackling for the Roosters. However, miskicks were costing the Roosters crucial turnovers which United took advantage of. The score at half time was 7.3 - 7.5 in the Tigers favour. The third quarter was as even as they come, with both sides putting in a strong effort and showing no signs of letting go of the game. Young Rooster Ben Stubing rucked well and kicked a great left-foot goal to regain the lead for the home side. Goals from Will Banton and Michael Davey kept United well and truly in the game going into three quarter time, with the Roosters just holding onto the lead 11.8 – 10.7. The Roosters came out flying in the last

Rooster reserves put another win on the board Two Wells11-12 (78) d United8-3 (51) RESERVES

The Two Wells Roosters played a solid game against the United Tigers in their 27 point win on Saturday. The Roosters had a strong first quarter, while the Tigers got a slow start but picked up the pieces later in the game. Owen Allmond opened scoring within the first few minutes, as the side followed on to kick seven of the 11 goals for the match in the first quarter. The quarter time score was 7.2 - 0.1. The Tigers got on the board early in the second quarter, equalling the Roosters’ tally of one goal for that quarter. The Roosters had good fast form in the mid-field and a strong defence line with Darren Applebee preventing any further goal action for the Tigers. The Tigers struggled to take marks in the forward line, and couldn’t make many clear disposals. Meanwhile, the Roosters forward line lost initial form until late in the third term, as defenders Kym Jarman and Brayden Jones lifted the intensity for the Tigers. The half time score was

unsettling for the Tigers, 8.6 – 1.2. However, with four quick unanswered goals to the Tigers early in the second half, the Roosters hit a wall. Adam Pratt and on-baller Darren Carter goaled and a comeback was suddenly in sight for the Tigers. But the Roosters soon pulled themselves together, and Steve Larrett got the team back on the goal bandwagon. It was 10.9 to 5.3 at three quarter time, with Tiger Jamie Baker playing a leading role in the midfield and John Mason providing solid support. Despite being outscored by the Tigers in the second half, the Roosters lead was too substantial. With youngsters Tommy Taylor and Bryce Hart stepping up for the Roosters and dominating the mid field and forward line with their speed and nifty skills, the home side prevailed. Winger Lachlan Hall was a big asset to the Tigers’ running breaks, while Travis Opitz was never far from the mid-field action. Rooster Sam Baker also did a fine job guarding the goal square in fullback. The final score was 11.12 (78) to 8.3 (51).

Season at fever pitch Magpies look set to finish 2009 premiers P R E V I E WRound 15

APFL season 2009 is now at fever pitch with the next five weeks to decide “who is” and “who isn’t” there to contest the 2009 major round which starts on September 5. A big win to Mallala on the weekend against certain wooden spooners Hamley Bridge has the Magpies well set to finish minor premiers. Even if second placed Virginia were to upset the Magpies when they meet again on August 22 (which is unlikely the way Mallala are playing), should they continue in the same vein of form, Mallala’s results and healthy percentage should be enough to hold them in top spot for the second year in a row. Wins at the weekend to Virginia and Two Wells certainly enhanced their status in the top four as well. You would now think with Virginia just a game behind Mallala in second place and a game clear of third placed Two Wells, Greg Phillips’ side are looking safe as 2009 finals participants – and odds on to finish second. Two Wells, who sit three games clear in fifth place thanks to their win over United, would need to have a disastrous last five weeks of the season to miss finals action in 2009 – one more win will likely see their 2009 finals seat all but booked. So this leaves Balaklava, United and HWE all vying for that much coveted fourth finals spot. Each side made the finals last season (with HWE winning the premiership) and all three have been regular APFL finals participants over the last decade. Currently Balaklava are holding fourth position on percentage from United while Hummocks Watchman Eagles sit one game behind. Looking at the run home, working in the Eagles favour is that they have already had their last bye for the year meaning they play a match each week of the remaining five weekends while Balaklava and United each play just four games between now and August 29.

Two Wells v Virginia

This week’s match between second and third placed neighbours Two Wells and Virginia looms as yet another match worthy of one of the “matches of the season”. Considering both sides have built up a genuine dislike for each other since rejoining the APFL in the early 1980s, and both are in line to contest for this year’s ultimate prize so it’s fair to say there has never been more at stake for either club in a match against one another within the last decade. The APFL’s two most southern clubs currently sit just a game apart on the table. While current form suggests the Rams are the side odds on to finish in the much glorified second spot at the end of the minor round, a win to the Roosters this week would see them close the gap on their neighbours and really throw things into a spin. A Rooster win would also put a 2009 finals berth beyond doubt. This is a huge incentive for Steven Fitzgerald’s side! In the Virginia camp the Rams will certainly be fancying their chances despite the Roosters getting the points against them last time around. With full back Adrian Mark almost back to 100% it will strengthen their side although he will certainly have his work

cut out containing Two Wells dangerous forward Aaron “Wally” Hand who is averaging a handful of goals a game over the last six weeks. At the other end, the Rams will be hopeful of goal kicker Shamus Schutt returning, but if he doesn’t get up an even spread of goal kicking midfield and forward options which have served the Rams well in recent weeks will again be likely to hold the Rams in good stead. A lot will of course come down to the respective midfields with the Rams Johnston, Young, Cocchiaro, Rigney and Galic all expected to play a big part. With Roosters Allmond, Wise, Stubing, the Leighton brothers plus big Wally Hand all expected to be in full flight it should be a great battle at Roosterville. This is a second versus third clash, a clash of neighbours and a clash of traditional rivals fighting it out to finish in this year’s top two. There is certainly plenty to like about this one. Last time they met: June 13, 2009, Two Wells 12.12 (84) d Virginia 11.6 (72) at Virginia.

Mallala v United

For the second time in a row this season Mallala and United will meet at Mallala oval. Earlier in the season the Magpies traded their Anzac

Rams are rolling along When asked about the Rams spread of 10 individual goal kickers Phillips re-iterated this aspect of their game had improved. “I spoke to the boys a few weeks back about the prospect of finals footy and the need to not rely on one or two blokes to kick our goals”.” At the start of the year we had Shamus (Schutt) and (Anton) Gerardis kicking a lot of our goals but over the last few weeks we have had an even spread from all the guys which has been really good.” For Balaklava who remain in a ‘dog fight’ for fourth spot with rivals United and Hummocks Watchman Eagles, Luke Evans played another good game, defenders Jed Rowland and Jamie Tiller again made it hard for the opposition while setting up many attacking plays and Ben Catford and Derek Friedrichs also played well thanks to the use of the footy palmed down by Hayden Walker

Roosters grind Tigers

Meanwhile at Two Wells the Roosters showed gutsy grit and determination in the last quarter of their home match to overcome a United side that once again showed for much of the match that they had what it took - yet couldn’t grab the prize when it presented itself. With United and Two Wells trading blows on the scoreboard for much of the first half, this match was an extremely even contest – not only on the scoreboard but it was also reflected in many oneon-one contests around the ground. With just two points separating the teams at half time United, for the second week in a row, were looking like a chance to cause an upset and put a claim on fourth spot. In the third term when the Tigers kicked back-to-back goals to skip away to a 14-point lead they certainly looked like they had broken the shackles. At the 10-minute mark the Tigers could have gone three goals up but a short pass inside 50 came unstuck only to see Two Wells whisk the ball down the other end and goal.

This started a mini run-on for the Roosters as they added two more unanswered goals to see themselves lead by seven points at three quarter time. Although the match was still anyone’s at the last break, soon after it was the Roosters who put the result beyond doubt obliterating United in the centre square and from the stoppages to bang the ball forward and pile on an impressive amount of unanswered goals. The blistering last term saw the Roosters add seven goals and seven behinds to United’s 2.2 to win by 42 points in what really was for the most part an extremely close and even free flowing contest. In the end the Roosters’ run and carry was the factor that excelled them to victory! Full credit must go to the Two Wells coaching staff for allowing their younger players to play with so much flair and boldness. Although the young Roosters “tuck the ball under the arm and run” style can occasionally come unstuck, for the most part the old adage ‘fortune favours the brave’ certainly was at play in this match with brothers Kahn and Tallan Leighton, Lee Allmond and even key position players like Andrew Hardiman (who has as much dash as any of the smaller types) all gaining massive meterage and drive for their side . On the end of their good work was forward Aaron “Wally” Hand who was again on fire kicking eight goals. Other Rooster runners Ben Spiteri and Scott Wise, along with ruckman Ben Stubing and defender Nathan Applebee can also take much credit for the Roosters win. With another two match points safely into the kitty Two Wells now look hard to topple for a finals berth! For United who still remain percentage outside the top four, it was the second week in a row that they have given a top three side a run for its money – although on both occasions the final term has bought them undone.

Better players for United in this match included follower Matt East, rover Adrian Mills, wingman Adam Mansfield, ruckman Will Banton, skipper Simon Schulz and forward Michael Davey who kicked three goals.

Magpies embarrass Bombers

And in the third and final game of the round at Hamley Bridge, as expected the top of the table Magpies easily accounted for the struggling Bombers with a 28-goal win. Although the final margin was always expected to be large, alarm bells were certainly ringing when at three quarter time the Bombers had still not contributed a single major on the scoreboard. In fact the Magpies kept the Bombers to just two scoring shots for the entire second half with only a final quarter goal from Brett Burgess giving the Bombers something to cheer about. Although Bomber ruckman Justin Schahinger, the versatile Liam Pratt, runner Luke Slok and Matt Norman all tried hard for the home side, Hamley Bridge simply struggled with Mallala’s superior ball getting ability and sublime hand and foot skills which didn’t allow them an inch. All the usual suspects were among Mallala’s best players – perhaps youngster Angus Bruggerman the pick of the bunch as he continued his good season with a five goal haul up forward. This week Bruggerman also assumed the second ruck duties due to the absence of regular ruckman Andrew Vlassco who injured himself on the training track this week. With the way Mallala clinically disposed of third placed Two Wells a fortnight ago the 172 point margin in this match was never going to be a surprise. Perhaps the most impressive aspect was that the Magpies didn’t just cruise to victory but kept their foot on the pedal and showed no signs of being “down” motivationally despite meeting a side that is yet to salute the judge in 2009. The Magpies sure seem intent about where they are heading from here on.

Day fixture with the Tigers mid year home match so the Magpies could play their centenary match against their arch-rivals at home on June 13. While that piece of knowledge is interesting but somewhat irrelevant, what is more relevant is that on the last occasion these sides met it was the Tigers who defeated the previously undefeated Magpies on that occasion. Given the form of the Tigers in the lead up to that match it is hard to see how they beat the Magpies. On current form once again despite the Tigers looking impressive for the first half of their last two matches (going down to the Rams and Roosters) in recent weeks, again in the lead up to this clash against old foe it is once again hard to see how the Tigers can possibly beat Mallala. In the last fortnight the Magpies have easily accounted for the Roosters and Bombers. So impressive have the Magpies been that they have amassed a goal tally of 42 goals on the attack while restricting their opposition to just a collective six majors in two weeks at the other end. United supporters will be hoping that ‘heart’ once again may mean more than ‘form’ when it comes to clashes between local rivals. The carrot is also certainly dangling for a United side who if they can cause an upset this week will certainly put a big claim on fourth place ahead of Balaklava and the Eagles. Despite Mallala still more than likely to miss co-captain Jason Earl and ruckman Andrew Vlassco they will start clear favourites with 21 players all in good touch and a collective group of Whitwell, Montgomerie, Rimmer, Bruggerman, Griffiths, Hardie, Montgomery, Feeley, Heeley

and co all showing vice like determination approaching August. Last Time they met: June 13, 2009, United 15.10 (100) d Mallala 10.9 (69)

HWE v Hamley Br (Lochiel)

Lochiel Oval is back! In the final match of the round Hummocks Watchman Eagles will play their first game of the season at this year’s first semi final venue – Lochiel oval! With every single game from now on being a “must win” for the Eagles if they are going to have any chance of defending their 2008 crown you would expect the home side to jump up and emphatically record their fifth win of the season on the recently re-groomed patch of grass up north. In some respects it is hard to believe the majority of the competition would still be fearing a HWE side that to this point in time has posted just four victories in season 2009. Such is the respect for the Eagles and what they have done over the last eight years no one has written them off despite the fact in any other season of APFL footy a side placed sixth on July 29 would be considered very much an ‘also ran’. If the flicker of hope is still burning for the Eagles they will register a big win this week and quickly move onto thinking about their next match against Virginia. Although the Bombers will be more than keen to pounce on any sniff the Eagles may give I wouldn’t be expecting to see the door opening too far for Hamley Bridge this weekend despite this clash being one of 6th v 7th. Last time they met: June 13, 2009, HWE 28.21 (189) d Hamley Bridge 7.3 (45)

Wells girls improve game play to defeat Longies Two Wells v Longies

Two Wells defeated Long Plains in a frustrating game, 54 – 44. Two Wells have been concentrating on their game play, focusing on flow, utilising the space on the court to their advantage, and when making turnovers, learning how to convert them well. Their games are great practise for the nearing finals. Two Wells’ Stacey Gameau played only the first half of the game, however she was a significant player who gave her team initiative. “I can’t name any stand-outs, everyone gave it their all and did their jobs well,” said Two Wells coach Penny Nicholas. Long Plains struggled to adapt to the strict umpiring during the game. “The umpiring would be a disadvantage to any team not used to being umpired that way,” said Longies coach Leanne McArdle. “Two Wells adapted better to the conditions than the Longies girls did.” Long Plains’ Alison Jacka was carried from the court during the game after what appeared to be a serious knee injury. The full extent of her injury is not yet known, but we hope to see her back out on the court. Best player for Longies was Sheree Tezacker, and for the Wells girls Cassie Lange was awarded the title.

Balaklava v Virginia

Balaklava had a strong win over Virginia, 56 – 32. The Balak girls dominated the first quarter, even after some position changes which left some girls a bit uncertain. Balaklava moved well and controlled the ball to their advantage, Virginia falling behind quickly. Tara Baldwin played well in GS, giving the Balak girls an increasing score. Gaynor Tink, who received best player, had a constant drive for Balaklava, sending the ball down the court. During the second and third quarters Balak’s game play became a little “ratty”, according to coach Craig Cox. The Balak girls had trouble adjusting to the slippery indoor floors, and missed some passes due to the lack of balance. However in the last quarter Balaklava came alive again and continued to stay strong for the remainder of the quarter, bringing home another win. Virginia’s Rachel Phillips was best player for the match.

Hamley left Mallala two goals short, 38 – 36. Mallala let Hamley slip away to a two goal lead in the first quarter, the Mallala girls staying two steps behind for the rest of the game. Although they were unable to catch up, the Mallala girls still had a strong defence line through centre court, making plenty of intercepts. Mallala’s Jayne Brown was placed in WD for the first half of the game, then was moved to GK for the second half, playing strongly in both positions. Mallala’s Midge May in GD defended well for her team. Hamley’s Emma Riley had great drive down to the goalies, having a great influence over the game. Brianna Wedding in GS for Hamley demonstrated excellent shooting skills during her first game in A1, and WD Pam Mattschoss was a major defender in mid court. Mallala coach Leanne Work said, “We need to practise our accuracy for next week. We had plenty of opportunities and we missed.” Best player for Hamley was Alison Schahinger and Mallala’s best was Midge May.

Brianna Wedding, playing her first game in A1, keeps her eyes on the ball as Mallala opponents Midge May and Jayne Brown are ready to defend in the goal circle.

Two Wells club amalgamation By Bronte Hewett A classic case of many hands making light work is evident at the newly amalgamated Two Wells Football and Netball club. The amalgamation was agreed on in a vote last year, as both individual clubs were dwindling in support and committee members, and it only made sense to join together and make one strong club. The unity was trial-run in 2008, and was very welcomed by both the football club president Jeff Moon and netball club president Tanya Kent. “It’s a thing I’ve been working towards for a while,’’ Mr Moon said. “And its working very well.” In light of the successful fundraisers and events held recently at the Club, there are a lot of positives coming out of the amalgamation and Tanya believes they should have done it years ago. It takes the pressure off certain individuals and there are more helpers. “Being the one club, everyone pitches in,” she said. Jeff Moon, who has been president of the football club for five years, with the exception of last year when he had a year on the Adelaide Plains board, has already committed a lot to the club and is a real life-blood. “They certainly make my job as president a lot easier,” Mr Moon said. It also takes into account the sponsorship and grants, which the clubs now share and coordinate under one umbrella. “With the netball and football together, we’ve both got more sponsorship,” Tanya said. “It works fabulously.’’ A1 netballer Stacey Gameau is also happy and excited

There’s light at the end of the tunnel TWO Wells Bowling Club member and spokesperson Gerry Goulter.

Two Wells Netball Club president Tanya Kent with football club president Jeff Moon. about the joint effort now being put in by both clubs. “It has brought two good clubs together and made them stronger. It’s a fresh new outlook for us,” she said She also believes there are more hands on deck, more ideas and it has improved the club socially. And the success of the 80s night held at Two Wells Football and Netball Club recently can vouch for the expanding social side of things. “Any clubs that aren’t amalgamated should think about doing it,’’ Tanya said.

Two Wells bowling club finally sees light at the end of the tunnel, with the completion of a lighting project three years in the waiting. Instalment of eight new posts and lights to brighten up the bowling greens comes with generosity and help from local businesses, and is the first stage of a three step development project. Club member and publicity spokesperson, Gerry Goulter, said the project was completed with help from committee members, and from local businesses who supplied cheap hire and labour. “The club is thankful for the help it received from many quarters,” he said. The next step is to install synthetic grass on the bowling greens, and the final step is to update the club rooms. The developments come at a time when new members are being urged to show interest.

✍ LETTER to the Editor

Do some umpires know the rules? Usually I am not a person who writes letters to editors, but after watching on Saturday the latest debacle from the umpires at the senior colts match between United and Two Wells, I feel I must write something about a body of people who seem to be beyond reproach for the appalling decisions they made not only today, but for the past few weeks I have

been watching local football. On Saturday, as the teams ran onto the oval, one umpire spent several minutes with a United player and suggested to him to “control his aggression.” This umpire then proceeded to send off a player within the first couple of minutes of a quarter, explaining to him that “he would talk to him at the end of that quarter”.

He then sent off a second player – strangely enough the player who he had spoken to when the teams ran out! And United played part of a quarter without two players. I understand from several people from both clubs an umpire can send off a player for either 10 minutes or for the whole game but not for virtually a whole quarter of play.

Regretfully, (it appeared) this umpire did not know this rule and he showed his ignorance even more at half time when he was challenged by representatives from both clubs when he allegedly stated: “The player sent off can be replaced by another player as if it were a regular interchange.” Clearly this umpire did not know the rules.

“Our numbers are decreasing because like many clubs, members are retiring from the game through health, work, old age or moving to live in warmer areas,” Mr Goulter said. The club is in urgent need of women bowlers, and young people are also being encouraged to have a go. Mr Goulter said lawn bowls was no longer an old man’s game. “Most clubs now have at least a few young people aged between 12-22 years in their pennant teams. The social ‘learn to bowl’ evenings have taken off with the young crowd at many clubs around Adelaide, and the sport is enjoyed by all generations.” The 2009 bowls season starts in September, with the ‘learn to bowl’ nights taking place on Tuesday evenings. The club would like as many as possible to initiate the new lights. For more information contact Gerry Goulter on 8520 2902.

Two Wells thoroughly deserved its victory over the United, but members from both Two Wells and United were equally amazed by the decisions being made which led to confusion by the players as to what can or cannot be done on the field. The umpires are paid for their services when they umpire games, so I consider the least they could do is know the rules they are paid to enforce. During the past few weeks I have witnessed umpires giving countless 50 metre penalties and sending players off,

clearly without knowing the rules behind their decisions. In my opinion, it is time local umpires are made accountable for their decisions. I would suggest an independent umpire be sent to watch games anonymously, and dubious umpires and their decisions dealt with by an umpires’ panel. Those umpires who continuously make poor decisions should be dropped until they know the rules they are supposed to be enforcing. Name and address supplied.

A1: BH 35 lst to South 52. Played at a furious pace with both sides focussing on attacking. The first half was very close with BBH keeping up with the very talented SC outfit. Better shooting percentage and scoring off turnovers by SC in the third quarter broke the game open but BBH finished strongly in the last quarter. A2: BBH 43 drew with South 43. Bad passing by rushing too much in the first quarter 6/14. BBH settled and played much tighter in defence and combined well in the goal circle to be even for the quarter 17/25.

BSR came out better in the third quarter with great drive down the court by Georgia Burgess and good goal work by Jessie Lee and Belinda Hickman.

Jennie Lee’s 400th game for Blyth/Snowtown By Janet Zweck Blyth Snowtown netballer Jennie Lee Kennett played her 400th senior game against Eudunda at Snowtown on Saturday July 18. Jennie Lee has played all of her netball for the Blyth Netball and Blyth/Snowtown Netball Clubs, and since playing senior netball Jennie Lee has been fortunate enough to play in eight premiership teams – three A1s, and her first being the C1 premiership in 1979. She always gives 110 percent in each match and is usually found in the defence line – although she has had a short stint in the attacking line on the wing during her career. Jennie Lee is a coach’s dream to have in a team and in 2003 she deservedly was awarded the A2 NENA Best and Fairest trophy. Jennie Lee is currently playing wing defence in B1, and while in her mid 40s, she still gives the younger players a run for their money and has many games left Jennie Lee Kennett prior in those energetic legs. to her 400th game. Congratulations Jennie Lee!

Golf Balaklava men

Nearly forty worthies trooped out to upset the murmurous quietude of our verdant greensward last Saturday to contest the Balco Trophy, a Stableford competition, as well as to witness the liver-chomping, fever-pitched finale of the Winter Shield event. Said shield was won by Bill Parkin, 6/5 over Peter Lamont in the A Grade, Tate Michael over Doug Taylor, only after a play-off on the “nineteenth” for the B Grade division and Andrew Manuel, 4/3 over Austin Henstridge to account the C Grade mob. Recently returned to the fold, tall, rangy Darren Mumford consummated his born-again love affair with golf by claiming the Balco Trophy, having scored an unassailable 42 Stableford points and our hearty congratulations to that beanie-clad ball belter. However, we must now return to proper protocol and deal with the mighty A Graders, who were led home by Ian Michael in first place with 38 points, then Bill Parkin (334) and Wayne Nagle (31). Trailing in their glorious wake were P. Lamont (30), M. Hameister (26), D. Taylor (25), G. Spence (25), M. Loy (25), G. Ackland (23) and J. Michael (18). From the swollen ranks of the B Grade pack emerged the fore-mentioned overall victor, Darren Mumford with his equally forementioned best-afield 42. Humbled, yet proudly, Jye Neale followed him, in second place, with a very respectable 37 points, as did Steve Jonas, into third, with 34. At the head of the pack which stumbled in, heads bowed and eyes downcast, were T. Michael (32), A. Manuel (32), C. Temby (32), G. Sonntag (31), B. Berry (30), B. Thompson (30), D. Goudie (30), D. Trickett (29), N. Mellow (29), B. Michael (28), M. Hahesy (28), S. Purdue (28), G. Toms (25), T. Whish ((23), G. Anderson (23), D. Addison (21), J. Wilson (19) and B. Stewart (19). Apparently a dog ate the card of A. Henstridge. Three junior players made, again, a most welcome appearance in the form of Jordan Taylor (28), Jake Michael (23) and Jordan Wilson (19) while we were fortunate to have the presence of two ladies on the day, with thanks to Norma Taylor and Patricia Anderson. Birdies were achieved by Bill Parkin and Wayne Nagle on the tenth, while in the battle for Nearest The Pin golf balls, Messrs. Bill Parkin (3rd), Mike Hahesy (8th), Wayne Nagle (10th), Ian Michael (15th) and Tate Michael (17th) were victorious. The team of Scott Michael, Wayne Nagle, Digby Addison and Austin Henstridge toddled off to Mt. Pleasant last Sunday to was the club’s flag, one of 15 foursomes and skilled enough to walk away with goodies, having been runners-up in the handicap stakes. This weekend it will be a full-on, four person Ambrose event as we attempt to sort out the men from the mongrels in the Royal Hotel Trophy. Teams should be organised soonest, fellas, at $5 a head for members and $10 for non-members. Your starters will be none less than the entire, assembled match committee, big Barrie Michael will be behind the bar, singing Cornish folk songs for meat pies and Lachlan Hart is to have all the fun and exercise of spinning the mighty chicken wheel. The weather promises to be excellent and the course, folks, is in fine fettle, so dragoon your mates and roll up at around 11-11.30am for what will surely be a day to remember.

Two Wells

Saturday, July 25 competition: Club Championships round two, Veterans, Eclectic, Putting Comp. Sponsor: Green Welding Supplier. Players: 40 men, two Ladies. CCR: 64. The second round proved to be a difficult one with some interesting moves from players preparing to set themselves up for the all important third round of the Club Championships onAugust 29. Several players retired during the round for various reasons and many who hit wayward shots looked through the sour sobs in vain with disappointment on their faces as they made the trek back to where they had hit from previously. On the day A grade was clearly dominated by Ian Smith whose superb 74/58 off the wand sent ripples through even the best of the best in A grade to win the Monthly Medal for July as well. Ian was steady as all around the course and his 24 putts showed that the old fox was well on his way to push the big guns in the weeks to come. A distant second was buck Launer with 76/65 off the stick and John Ball third with 82/65. Trevor Datson surprised himself and a few others with a fine 81/60 to win B Grade with Rabbit’s 86/63 good enough to edge out Steve Kelly for the bronze medal. Steve’s 86/64 also worthy of a mention as all players have set themselves up for the next round on August 29. Steve Sando won C Grade with 94/62 narrowly from Malcolm Frost 89/65 and Ben Readett 96/69 third. After two rounds of the Club Championships, the leaders in each grade are; A Grade Gross: C. Girling 154, M. Launer 158, Stuart Grigg 159 and I Smith 160. A Grade Nett: Stuart Grigg 127, I. Smith 128, C. Girling 134, M. Launer 136. B Grade Gross: J. Ball 162, S. Kelly 172, T. Datson 173, A. Bail 178. B Grade Nett: J. Ball 127, S. Kelly 129, T. Datson 131, J. Weir 133. C Grade Gross: T. Clifton 196, L. Zbierski 197, B. Prior 197, B. Readett 199. C Grade Nett: S. Sando 143, R. Prior 145, T. Clifton 145, B. Readett 145. Putting: Stuart Grigg 46, I. Smith 49, P. Shields 49, C. Girling 50. The third round will determine the genuine challengers with some players to feel the pinch as their grips become a little sweaty and tight as each shot needing to be accurate to hold their competitors at bay. Good Luck to all. Beware those who are behind and waiting to pounce at any opportunity.

Under 14

Balaklava v Burra Both teams started off with great defence in the middle. Timothy Heslop hit a great 16 followed with a great tackle by Riley Chapman. Both teams showed great skill and both teams worked well together to get the ball into the goals. It was a good even game. Burra played well in attack but was unable to get the ball past the strong defence of Balaklava’s backline Tim Goldney and Bryce Chapman and goalie Michael Bowden. Burra earned a stroke but once again Michael stops it. Bryce Chapman played a great tackle in defence keeping the ball out of the circle. Burra did a great run with the ball to their circle but Natasha Greenshields cleared the ball with a beautiful hit. Burra had a few good hits into the goal circle but was stoped by Balaklava’s strong defence. Burra

bought the ball all the way down strongly, went for a goal but goalie Michael again stopped it showing his good skill. Natasha Greenshields took the ball, passed to Jesse Shepherd who hit strongly towards goal but was unable to make it count in the end. Both teams had strong defence throughout the game. But unfortunately it resulted in a nil all draw.

Under 17

Balaklava v Burra On a beautiful sunny Clare morning Balaklava U17 took on Burra. Play was evenly contested. Matthew Gates ran the centre well and consistently came away with the ball, but the forwards failed to just get that final trap to put it into the back of the goals. Samuel Tiller skilfully handled the ball as always and earned many free hits. Matt hit into circle and Ben Shepherd trapped it just missing the goals. Burra pressed hard and at half time the score was still nil all. Early in the second half Brittny had a trap inside the circle and shot for goal but Burra’s goalie was lucky enough to stop it. Josh Chapman played well in defence. Tamara Gates had a good run dribbling the ball until the strong Burra defence again stopped a run to the goal circle. Play seesawed with both teams playing well and showing passion. Tamara Gates was finally able to finish off for Balaklava scoring a goal. Samuel took the ball down and passed to Bryce who missed. Balaklava earned a short corner. The ball was hit to Ben who hit into the circle to Bryce who then scored Balaklava’s second goal. Pete McMillan did a huge block on a Burra pass and showed skill dribbling away from the Burra players. Emily Juel and Rhea Greenshields backed up well running down the sides. The game finished with the scoreline as two nil.

Women

Balaklava v Sevenhill Balaklava had most of the play in the first half, with six shots at goal, but none able to touch the back of the goals with Sevenhill’s Alex Cape doing a good job defending. Balaklava had strong forward line but Sevenhill stopped all attempts. Score half time was nil all. Balaklava kept their strong forward line in the second half with Sevenhill still stopping all attempts. Balaklava had a shot at goal and goalie missed the ball and a goal was scored by Roweena Tiller.Amber took a huge run with the ball nearly to score a goal solo. Sevenhill then had some of the play to only be shut down by Balaklava’s strong defence. It was a good, even game. Balaklava Won one-nil.

Men

Balaklava v Burra Newcomer to the team, Dan got his chin split open in the first five minutes and he went off to get stitches. Not the start he was hoping for. Hayley Chapman padded up for the men as they were short and Amber Greenshields took the centre. Balaklava as usual played an excellent team game, and was always very quick. Napper scored an excellent goal in the first half, Burra defence was strong and stopped a lot of Balaklava’s attempts. Balaklava started the second half the way they started the first - having a very strong forward line and backline. Balaklava had a few attempts at goals but missed them with Burra’s back line stopping them. Then young Trent Stewart decided to have a go and got the goal of the year. He came in for slide as he has done many times before thinking he can’t get a stick to it and then to his and everyone else’s surprise, he got a small touch to score for Balaklava. The ball made it through a very small gap in between the goalie and the post for a screamer. Well done Trent. Amber was unlucky to miss a goal. Then comes a nice rebound off the goalie straight to young Kevin Marriot and he scored. All in all both teams played very strong hockey and it was a great game to watch. • On Sunday, the Clare Association competed in the Seniors nine-a-side Hockey Carnival at Kadina. The competition was fierce with teams coming from as far away as Victor Harbor. It was a fantastic day and a number of men and women from the Balaklava club represented the association. Thank you was extended to those who wrote reports.

Tennis Winter night

The first week back after the school holiday break had a near perfect night. Thus, Philip Shepherd decided these conditions would indeed entice him out for his debut on the winter circuit. Philip actually mentioned he was using this as preparation for summer night tennis, so watch out! Philip slotted nicely into the Ships’ team, alongside another fill-in, Scott McDonald, which made the Ships quite strong. Their oppoennts, Lisa Redpath’s Tugs, played very well and had some excellent sets including two tiebreakers and three 53s. Unfortunately for the Tugs, they couldn’t snatch any of the sets, going down in a titanic struggle, 6-31 to 0-19. Opponents Scott and Lisa featured in both ties, and

both were enjoying their tennis. Ships Richard Goldney was dropped to number two and played someone more his age, in Di Taylor, and they too had very close sets, being either threes or fours. Rae Winen was filling-in for the Tugs and was worn out from her recent holiday, going down in three thrilling sets, also including a tie. Her opponent Cherie Cleary was very consistent and returned everything Rae pounded at her. The youngest Tug, Shaun Northcott, was distracted when dad David pulled a leg muscle (apparently the injury is ironically called ‘tennis leg’), and went from being a nurse, taxi driver, and courier, to the occasional tennis player! He did have some good games though against the more experienced Philip. The other match started as a bit of a shemozzle, with Canoes’ David Northcott pulling something, so thanks to replacement player Jarek for filling in at the last minute! Actually, the first minute seeing as David was injured in his warmup – we won’t ask how! Thanks to the players for their patience as some sets were delayed. Courtney Daniel’s Yachts were settled and in their starting blocks as Lauren Parker’s Canoes rejuggled their team and eventually got going. Yachts Darryl Barkla and opponent Steve Lawrie had very consistent matches, with every set score being 5-3. Canoes’ Kate Taylor was feeling the pinch after just saving her daks with one game in each of her first two sets, but did have a better third set to have a respectable score of three! Her opponent Courtney played some great shots with her experience showing through. Chris Daniel had her opponent change three times on the scoresheet before she even started, with Jarek eventually staying there. After a big first set win to Chris, Jarek warmed up, and their next two sets were much closer, including a last set tiebreaker win to Chris and Peter Rohrlach over Jarek and Lauren. Lauren and Peter had an even battle all night with the latter taking the honours. Final score Yachts 6-34 defeated Canoes 0-15. Until next week when everyone will be warmed up and Kevyna’s blisters will be fixed, as will David’s muscle.…

Ladies winter

After two weeks off, the ladies were raring to go. With some injured or sick or just shopping, nearly every lady in town was asked to fill-in! The only one-sided match for the morning was between Heidi Zerk’s Solos and Pauline Hill’s Fantas, with the Solos winning 6-36 to 0-16. That isn’t to say that the sets weren’t close, as there was a tiebreaker, a 6-4 and two 6-3s. Solos had Bec Dixon filling in, and did the team proud, and with partner Julie Bigg, made short work of Narelle Michael and Kerrie Bell in the only dak dropper of the whole morning! Pauline and Mary Connell were unlucky to lose a tiebreaker to Heidi and Melissa Moulds in a high quality set. Narelle was heard quoting rules and etiquette to her opposition in the hope it would distract them, but it didn’t work. Heidi has her team well oiled and in pristine condition heading to the final. Helen Barry’s Lemons turned their last few weeks’ scores around, this time scraping through to defeat Colleen Allen’s Cokes 4-27 to 2-28. Oddly, the Cokes had more games than the Lemons! Cokes’ Bec Houston was sporting bronchitis, but the fresh air and sun soon made her feel better. Bec and Denby Wandel had a marathon first set going down in a tiebreaker to Shaz Pike and Di Meaney. Bec then had another long set with Colleen, only to come second again, this time 6-4. So after those two, Bec was on a mission and finally won her last set with fill-in Trudy Redpath. Trudy showed flashes of brilliance, obviously passed on by mum Nat, and had a good hit against the lady with the flags, Tess Mellow. The captains, Helen and Colleen, had even sets, but Colleen couldn’t quite get the wins. The pressure was mounting in their long games with Helen showing some unusual colliwobbles! Normally playing at the top for her regular team, Shaz relished her spot at second and had a great battle against Denby with both going for their shots. The final match played saw Louise Michael’s Bitters come second to Helen Durdin’s Limes 4-30 to 2-24. Kerry Williams was filling in for the Bitters, whilst Abbie Tiller and Joan Watters both made their debut for the Limes. Louise had pulled a calf so forcibly promoted Di Taylor to top to face Helen. After the first two sets scores were dead level, but the Limes went on to win the next three. Nikki Yates and Kerry took the last set over Valerie Carling and Joan. Luckily Nikki had turned up ready to run around, as Louise couldn’t, Kerry wouldn’t and Di shouldn’t! Nikki featured in both of the Bitters’ winning sets, the other with Louise. Limes’ Joan hasn’t lost her touch after not playing a set since last winter, having a good workout against Kerry, with two 6-4s. Only four weeks to go until the BIG one girls, so keep Aug 20 free for the usual celebrations, and a bit of tennis! Spectators should keep that day free too to be treated to some great tennis, OK Beris?! Until next week when we see if Kim Eime’s snow skiing injuries are fixed…

Spot-on advice at precision agriculture workshops

Grain growers will have an opportunity to hear from leading farmers in precision agriculture technologies in two free local workshops organised by the Southern Precision Agriculture Association (SPAA). The workshops will allow farmers to enhance skills and knowledge in guidance and variable rate systems, crop scanning systems, and on-farm

use of soil moisture sensors. The first is at Kybunga on Wednesday, August 5 from 8.30am. The second will be held at Haysborough, on the Kapunda road between Eudunda and Kapunda, next day, also from 8.30. Each meeting will feature local grower and agronomist sharing experiences with VRT and

a representative from the SPAA committee. Mark Branson, SPAA president, said it was a great opportunity for committee members to get out of their area and see and hear what farmers were interested in. Another drawcard to the workshops is Adam Inchbold, a farmer from Yarrawonga and chairman of the Riverine Plains Farming Systems group
