These two beautiful ladies make a beautiful crop of canola look even better, as they discovered a novel way to promote Balaklava Cup day on Wednesday, September 2.

n FARMING: WHERE ARE WE NOW? n UPDATE: PAGE 3

Guard halts theft – but Horizon loses gear A security guard disturbed thieves at Horizon Christian School in the early hours of Sunday morning, but the offenders managed to escape with thousands of dollars of tools and

computing equipment. Local security guard Dave Tillson, pictured right with the damaged security system, chased the thieves across paddocks behind the school before they managed to

elude him. “At first I went to the front of the school but saw the roof of the ute moving through grass behind the buildings,” he said. • CONTINUED Page 2

Tour de Plains reveals the bright side of life

T did one’s heart good during a recent sweep through the region, winding around country roads on a delightful sunny winter’s day. Occasionally circumstances of a newspaper provide the opportunity to do this, and although waxing lyrical about this before, I can’t help but enthuse about our towns. First stop upon leaving Balaklava was Owen, where the general store was generally busy with the coming and going of locals getting their day started. The town looked neat and tidy in its morning solitude before the primary school cranked up, bringing, one assumes, the “rush” hour for a few minutes. Doesn’t the mural on the wall of the Red Cross building look wonderful? A credit to all involved. Should be more of it – which is a possibility in Balaklava, where I am told a mural could be painted on the rear of the grandstand. That might upset some of the heritage gurus, so it might need to be placed on boards and attached. Pardon the digression. We’re off

MY VIEW

Terry Williams

EDITOR Editor@plainsproducer.com.au to Pinery, to deliver papers to the Post Office. It’s not really a Post Office, with the likes of Derily Snook beaming at you from across the counter (as only Derily can). And it’s by no means as attractive, though it is something similar, a keeper of secrets. At Pinery PO’s front is a large steel locked chest, to which I held the key, trusted to peer inside, like Aladdin into the cave. This was a bit disconcerting, because I was merely there to dump a bundle of Producers into its metal

bosom. But inadvertently I could see a message from someone to ring someone. That’s all. Don’t recall the names. Golly, how long had this been within? Had the note, like a message in a bottle, been placed there before mobile phones? Does Pinery communicate this way? Eyes averted, not wanting to pry, the lid clanged shut. Oh heck, I just remembered, did I lock it? A thousand apologies if the next person found it open. On to Mallala and the IGA where Bert and Robyn Cocks were flat out dealing with customers. Happy, smiling, welcoming faces greeted me as I staggered in with a big bundle of Producers. Which were meant for Lange’s at Two Wells BP. Fortunately Bert noticed this, halting the delivery boy rushing on his way. But not before he had time to think: “Weren’t they a nice bunch.” First impressions count for everything. That’s Mallala. Dashing on to Two Wells, we stopped at the BP for yet another friendly greeting before loping along the old road to Virginia. Some of the properties along that road could do

with a bit of a clean up. Why must market gardeners leave buckets, plastic and other rubbish lying about for all to see. There was quick hello in Virginia as traders by now were becoming busy with customers. Understandable, as the customer must come first. Darting towards Gawler, I again marvelled at Virginia Nursery. What an amazing place this has become – and it’s right on our doorstep, enlarged over the past year or two by the visionary and gutsy Jim Gencheff. Go there, if you haven’t been already. Stopped at Virgara on the Angle Vale road; one of those stores which is hard to leave. It has everything to tempt you. Over the new bridge, which is part of the Northern Expressway. What a great job contractors and governments are doing there. Then two stops in Gawler. Oops – three. Can’t go past Macca’s. That town is a traffic basket case. How the locals contend with the daily jam is beyond me. Through Gawler and Roseworthy

and on to Wasleys, with its wonderful pub (no, we continued on it was a bit early for me). The general store was simply stunning. Neat, tidy and as clean as a whistle, its freshly mopped floors smelling of disinfectant, like mum’s laundry. It was nice. Then through some back roads to Hamley Bridge, to be welcomed again, and on via Stockport to Tarlee for a chat with another likeable postie, John Robbins, who had been waiting for his papers. Sorry cobber, there were distractions. The drive from Wasleys across to Tarlee was delightful. Greenery everywhere (farmers please note I have made no mention of the crops, so as not to apply the Williams “kiss of death”). Then to Saddleworth, Auburn and Watervale, resplendent in their winter finery. Finally, back to Balaklava. And do you know what I noticed? Here was a busy town. On a Wednesday afternoon the streets were lined with cars, people were out and about. It looked good. We have plenty to make us feel proud!

More strife as permit closes road to 2050 Councillors and community members have questioned why District Council of Mallala wasn’t aware of a permit allowing the ‘temporary’ closure of Shellgrit Road, Port Gawler, until 2050. Council last month voted to reopen the road after months of debate and lobbying from the public, Cheetham Salt and other interested parties. After considering all arguments, councillors voted to have the road reopened, ordering Cheetham Salt to remove all obstacles by the end of July. Since then, it has been found Cheetham Salt had been issued a permit allowing them to close the road until about 2050. The permit was dated May 16, 2008 and issued by infrastructure and engineering services manager, John Tillack and wasn’t reported to

council at the time. The permit was only found when council sought legal advice about the closure and checked its records on the road - after council had already made a decision to reopen the road. Because of the permit, the road is now unable to be opened. Beverley Dunstan, of Port Gawler, has spoken before council at several meetings about the issue. She spoke again on Monday evening after hearing of the permit. “Shellgrit road has now been closed far longer than can be considered temporary, and no-one in their right mind can consider 50 years as temporary,” said Ms Dunstan, who lives near Shellgrit road and used it before its closure for horse riding. “Why did Cheetham Salt at previous council meetings have a representative to speak for the

closing and lease of the road to them when they supposedly already had a legal lease for it?” Ms Dunstan asked. She believes the lease should also include the requirement for fence maintenance, environmental improvement, and native tree and shrub planting. Councillor Steve Jones asked Ms Dunstan if she had seen any evidence of the illegal and dangerous activities alleged by Cheetham Salt and Fisheries, which included booby traps and poaching, but Ms Dunstan said she had observed no problems in several years using the road. Council discussed the issue at its meeting, but the public were excluded as the issue was considered confidential because it included the discussion of legal advice. However, some councillors believed it shouldn’t be held in confidence, arguing the

legal advice was information anyone involved could be told by any lawyer. “I think the majority of the debate should be made in public,” said councillor Marcus Strudwicke. Councillor Anne Picard agreed there was no need to keep discussions in confidence. However, councillors Tom Summerton and Duncan Kennington argued it should be held in confidence. As debate continued, Cr Strudwicke suggested the discussion be held in confidence and council could then release some information through the meeting’s minutes, while keeping other information confidential. The issue will again be discussed at next month’s meeting. Newly appointed chief executive officer, Charles Mansueto, said council intended to resolve it as soon as possible.

Show book gets a new look A new look show book featuring new competitions and exhibit categories will soon be available in the lead up to this year’s Balaklava Show. Designed by Balaklava high school student, Amy Gathercole, the new cover is sure to catch the eye of residents. This year an Aussie letterbox competition will be a chance for the whole family to be creative, while a scone making competition will test the cook of the house. Winners of these competitions will be eligible to enter the association show and win cash prizes. Association winners will then

compete in a state final as part of the 2010 Royal Adelaide Show. For some in the older generation, memories of fairgrounds and carnivals in years gone by will come flooding back, when entertainer Chris McDonald operates his European built carnival organ. The one-off custom-built organ was constructed in Belgium in 1997 by J Veerbeek BVA whose company has been building large and small organs since 1884. The organ, “De Kleine Krummel” (“the small crumb”) has a mechanical key box containing 36 keys, triggering pneumatic actions

for the 73 pipes, 36 stopped bourdon, 19 violin and 19 flutes. Show secretary Natasha Grigg said this year’s show would be opened by Riverton’s Leith Jenkins, OAM, who has been involved in the Royal Agricultural and Horticultural Society of South Australia. Ms Grigg said Balaklava’s 131st show, would also feature the usual favourite attractions such as the Mallee axemen, animal nursery, shearing and ute competitions and horses in action.

• From Page 1 It is believed the thieves first targeted a maintenance shed which wasn’t connected to the school’s security system, stealing tools. The communication wires near the office were then cut, but not before the alarm was activated just after 3.30am. Thieves jemmied an office window, ripping the alarm system from the wall and stealing lap top computers. The security company then contacted local security guard Dave Tillson, who went to the school immediately and

spotted a white dual cab ute - possibly an early model Rodeo - fleeing across the paddock behind the school. It was last seen heading south on Gwy Terrace. It appears the thieves were well prepared, having taken the nuts off the fire gate so they could escape quickly - but Mr Tillson interrupted those plans. Crime Scene Investigators attended to gather evidence. The cutting of communications cables disrupted the school’s computer and phone networking, inconveniencing staff and students.

All eyes are on the rain gauge

Farmers are keeping their eye on weather forecasts hoping for rain to finish off a promising season. But it has been several weeks since significant rain has fallen, although some properties received showers during thunderstorms on Saturday night. Canola crops cast a colourful hue in the patchwork of crops across the Adelaide Plains, and cereal crops are coming into head, showing a season full of promise if there is enough spring rain. However, the world wheat market is falling on the back of increased supply estimates and falling demand.

As a result, AWB has reduced its price forecast for 2009/10 by $25 a tonne, giving an estimated pool return for benchmark grade APW wheat of $265 to $275 a tonne (excluding GST). AWB Australian Commodity Management spokesperson Stuart Richardson said the international market was in ‘go slow’ with buyers reluctant to commit when they could see ample supply. Mr Richardson said crops in the northern hemisphere had produced well, and European Union estimates had increased, and although the number for Russia was down slightly, a larger percentage of milling wheat in Ukraine

meant there was still a very large volume of Black Sea wheat for export. “Add the strong Australian dollar to the equation and you don’t have an attractive picture for Australian wheat prices in comparison to the last two seasons - still historically high, but not at the levels growers would like to see,” Mr Richardson said. Meanwhile, stripe rust hot spots have also been reported at Balaklava, Dublin and Roseworthy. Growers have been warned to be diligent in monitoring crops and seeking advice on spraying. Wyalkatchem wheat near Balaklava and

Dublin has been found with stripe rust, and Kukri and Marombi wheat near Roseworthy has also been found with the same problem. SARDI senior plant pathologist Dr Hugh Wallwork said the stripe rust liked cool temperatures and moist conditions, and was likely to spread rapidly - particularly if the weather warmed up slightly, as it has done recently. Dr Wallwork recommended farmers across the state closely monitor their crops. Tests are underway on samples from Balaklava to determine the pathotype or strain of rust. Cereal rust information can be found at www.grdc.com.au/rustlinks

Footballers injured in car crash Three local men were injured in a bad accident in the early hours of Sunday morning, with two suffering serious injuries. The Mallala trio were travelling north on Port Wakefield Road at Buckland Park when their ute left the road at about 3am. It rolled several times, colliding with trees before coming to rest on its wheels near the south-bound lanes. Two men, both aged 18 were thrown from the vehicle and airlifted to the Royal Adelaide Hospital in a critical condition. It is believed the two men were not wearing seatbelts. A third, also from Mallala and aged 17, suffered cuts and bruises. The road was closed to traffic in both directions for several hours while Major Crash investigated. It was reopened to northbound traffic at 10.45am and to southbound traffic at midday.

Federal mention for Mallala, Kapunda

A new honour roll on War Memorial Drive, Balaklava, was unveiled by members of Balaklava and Districts RSL last Saturday. It contains the names of more than 400 local men and women who served in Australia’s armed forces during World War I and II. The honour roll was first suggested by members of the Northern Beautification Committee and pursued by War Memorial Drive resident Shirley Welke and friends. It was funded by a grant of $3,180 from the Federal Department of Veterans Affairs through Balaklava Area Committee and Wakefield Regional Council. War Memorial Drive originally was lined with trees which held plaques with names of those who served.

Federal Member for Wakefield, Nick Champion, has acknowledged local residents and community groups in Federal Parliament. Mr Champion discussed the annual Mallala Community Hospital fundraiser, naming Board members and praising their efforts in raising over $150,000 for the hospital in the last four years. He also spoke of the tremendous effort which went into the most recent event with renowned political journalist, Annabel Crabb, and Grant Cameron, which raised $7,500. Mr Champion also spoke of last week’s walk by Vietnam veterans from Port Augusta to Kapunda, a journey of over 450 kilometres. Mr Champion praised the efforts of Mr Keith Payne VC, who addressed Kapunda primary and high school students, Kapunda businesses and residents who supported the event, particularly organisers Pat Hayward and Pam Laver and the Kapunda RSL.

Two Wells pair on cannabis charges ATwo Wells man and woman believed to be part of a cannabis syndicate were arrested last Wednesday. The arrests were made after the South Australia Police Crime Gangs Task Force searched a house and yard at Sutherlands and located a sophisticated hydroponic cannabis crop in a cellar under the premises. The crop allegedly consisted of 20 cannabis plants, 12 of which were fully mature. A 45-year-old Two Wells man was in a vehicle about to depart the premises at the time, and was found in possession of 16 kilograms of cannabis, which appeared to have been recently harvested. The man, and the 35-year-old owner and occupant of the premises, were arrested and charged with trafficking, cultivation of cannabis and interfering with electricity supply. Both were bailed to appear in Tanunda Magistrates Court on November 10. After further investigations, premises at Two Wells and Evanston Gardens were also searched. At Two Wells, police allegedly found a further 81 cannabis seedlings, $14,565 cash and three grams of what police allege is methamphetamine. At Evanston Gardens, a substantial amount of hydroponic equipment was allegedly located. The woman occupying the Two Wells address was arrested and charged with cultivation of cannabis, traffic in a controlled drug and unlawful possession. She has been bailed to appear in the Elizabeth Magistrates Court on December 30. Police allege those apprehended were part of a cannabis syndicate which used a number of different premises to produce commercial quantities of cannabis. It is further alleged some of the premises were used as a nursery, and others for the cultivation and drying of the cannabis. Investigations are continuing, and anyone with information about the illegal activities of outlaw motorcycle gangs or illegal drug

Australian Meals on Wheels Association president, Leon Holmes, said the organisation’s volunteers and staff deserved to be recognised for their hard work. “There’s an old proverb that says ‘a smiling face is half the meal’, and that is definitely the case with Meals on Wheels,” Mr Holmes said.

NEWS v District

Ambulance station ‘spring clean’ Local ambulance stations will soon be gleaming with the start of a statewide station cleaning project by SA Ambulance Services. Local stations will be calling for as many hands as possible to make light work of the cleaning project, which is expected to take between one and three days per station. The cleaning process includes cleaning insides of vehicles, store rooms, all furniture, on and under chairs and beds, on top of cupboards and drawers, all folders, lockers,

mannequins, air conditioners, carpets and soft furnishings. Balaklava volunteer team leader, Ken Cunningham, said he would be calling for as many volunteers as possible to help when the cleaning team reaches Balaklava in October. A team of specialists is travelling to each station and working with volunteers to complete the cleaning. Meanwhile, ambulance officers will soon be making the switch to green uniforms. The change will come later this year, replacing the current

blue uniforms which were issued in September 2007 but caused allergic reactions for some staff. “Over the last two years we have been working with health and safety experts, industrial hygienists and other experts to ensure the safe introduction of a new uniform,” said chief executive officer, Ray Green. Mr Green said SA Ambulance Service had continued to support staff affected by reactions. He assured patients the uniform change and cleaning

operation would not affect patient services. “The public can be assured this significant operation task will not affect our delivery of high-quality patient care,” he said. “We will still be responding to every triple zero (000) call with the same level of urgency.” The decision to clean the stations was on the advice of an independent expert who produced a report recommending the cleaning before the rollout of the new uniform.

The wind beneath their wings

For the second year in a row, Mallala Primary School’s Year 5/6 class is among the 12 finalists in the 2009 NATA Young Scientists Award announced last week. The National Association of Testing Authorities, Australia (NATA) considered the finalists to be the best of a range of submissions from classes and individual students across Australia. The NATAYoung Scientists Award, which is now in its third year, is open to years five, six and seven students. It is one of Australia’s richest science competitions and students can win up $5000 worth of science equipment for their school.

Room five class from the school were the science whizzes recognised by NATA. “We are very happy, because it is our second year as finalists and also the second time we are the only school from South Australia to be finalists,” teacher Prue Mosman said. The award aims to foster an interest in science and science careers among young people by encouraging students to look at how science impacts on people’s lives. Entrants were invited to conduct a practical scientific experiment and in the first instance submit a 300-word summary on the Internet. Finalists

Our Horizon will sparkle

Horizon Christian School’s Family, Fun and Fireworks fundraiser is on again tomorrow night from 4 to 7.30pm. The wonderful school event is run by the prefects (pictured at right Aishlea Smith, Clinton Baker and Krystal Schutz) and this year money raised will go towards an oversize chess set and library resources. Games, free activities, food and drink will be available and the fireworks display is set to go off at 7pm.

Riverton’s ‘Rattler’ upgrade

Riverton’s Rattler Trail will be upgraded thanks to a grant from the State government. The upgrade will see the Trail brought into line with the standard of the Riesling Trail, effectively extending the Riesling Trail by 20 kilometres to the south and means the trails can be marketed together. The Rattler Trail, which passes through picturesque rolling farmlands, vineyards and a dairy between Riverton and Auburn, has been popular with recreational walkers and cyclists. It is anticipated the upgrade will bring further tourists to the area.

must now prepare a poster illustrating in more detail how they conducted their investigation. Winners will be announced in October. Mallala’s Year 5/6 class decided to investigate wind power. They built their own small windpowered electricity generators and carried out wind surveys around their school to find the best place to conduct their experiment. On a windy day, they then took their generators out and measured how many millivolts were produced and recorded the results. They then considered how they might be able to improve their genera-

tors. NATA is a not-for-profit, member-based association that accredits Australia’s testing and calibration laboratories and inspection facilities. Finalists were chosen for their originality, scientific rigour, effort, educational value as well as the quality of their written description. “Once again, we are very impressed with the quality of the submissions,” said NATA chief executive, Alan Patterson. “It’s encouraging to see young people around Australia engaging actively with science and finding new ways to apply it to the world around them.”

With all but one item on Mallala Economic Development Board’s ‘To Do’ list ticked off, there is plenty of speculation about what’s in store next. The board has quickly put its plans in action to have Mallala known as the home of motorsport, ticking off items on their list including logos, banners, the launch of the ‘home of motorsport’ concept, painting the town’s stobie poles, point of entry signs, merchandise, a website (www. homeofmotorsport.com) and the running of the Mallala Grand Prix Soap Box Derby. And they are steadily progressing the walk of fame. So what’s next? Mallala Economic Development Board is holding its annual general meeting on September 9, and members of the public are invited to go along and hear what else is planned. The meeting begins at 8pm in the Mallala council chamber. For more information contact board secretary, Jane Lutt, on 0427 790 542.

GET THE EDGE WITH TOYOTA Y

ou don’t last 50 years in a country as tough as Australia without doing a few things right. And you certainly don’t become Australia’s favourite car company without having the edge over the competition. The edge that comes from Toyota’s renowned quality, durability and reliability, for example. Or world class safety, legendary fuel efficiency and performance. Not forgetting the advantage of low-cost capped servicing∞ courtesy of Toyota Service Advantage. All of which adds up to unbeatable value for money right across the range. THREE NEW EDGE MODELS, LIMITED TIME ONLY

As further proof of the edge, Toyota has released three new special edition models: the Corolla Edge Special Edition, Yaris Edge Special Edition, and the RAV4 Edge Special Edition. With new special edition features including alloy wheels and enhanced audio systems; each model features a different combination of extras and great added value. But as the commercials say, there are “So many extras but such little time” so see your Toyota Dealer while stocks last. EVEN THE ACCESSORIES HAVE AN EDGE

Toyota has recently launched two new models: the new look Camry and the all-new 3rd Generation Prius. The Camry now boasts an 11% improvement in fuel efficiency on automatic models with fuel consumption of 8.8L/100 km* on the official combined cycle. It also comes standard with six SRS airbags, BluetoothTM^ hands-free mobile compatibility, a six-speaker sound system and an auxiliary audio-input jack. And its good looks are now even sharper with a newly designed grille and front bumper, large lower intake, restyled projector headlamps and restyled tail lamps. As for the Prius, the Hybrid Synergy Drive system mates a bigger and more powerful petrol engine with an improved electric motor to boost its power output by 21% to 100kW. It’s also the cleanest production car sold in Australia with CO² emissions of 89 grams/km which makes it the only car on the local market under 100g. Equally amazing is the fact that the Prius uses the heat it absorbs to power its air conditioning while it’s parked (i-Tech model only); and state of the art technology even means Prius can park itself for you~.

WORK HORSES THAT WORK EVEN HARDER

Toyota’s workhorses, such as the HiLux (wholesales September 2009), LC70 and LC200 ranges, now work even harder thanks to upgrades delivering enhanced specifications. And don’t forget, if you’re running a business with an annual turnover of less than $2 million, you may be eligible for a 50% tax deduction if you purchase a Toyota before December 31, 2009. |Talk with your tax advisor to see if your business is eligible. On top of this, from August production, the unbreakable 3.0L HiLux 4x2 Turbo Diesel range has upgraded specification and is now at a sensational new price over $3,000 better than the previous 2009 model. GET INTO YOUR TOYOTA DEALER AND GET THE EDGE TODAY

If you’d like to find out why more Australians choose a Toyota than any other vehicle, see your Toyota Dealer this weekend. With Australia’s biggest range of vehicles, there’s sure to be a vehicle to suit you, so get in and get the edge.

NAT AUG 09

If you’re currently in the market for a Yaris or Corolla, don’t forget to ask about the Edge Accessory Protection Packs. The Corolla pack includes headlamp covers, carpet floor mats (both front and rear), Park Assist reverse parking sensors (4 head set) and a bonnet protector. Cost is $585 including fitting which is a saving of $151 on the recommended retail. The Yaris pack also includes headlamp covers, carpet floor mats (both front and rear), Park Assist reverse parking sensors (2 head set) and a boot liner to keep your Yaris pristine inside and out. The cost for this pack is also $585 which adds up to a saving of $119! Mind you, you’ll need to move quickly as these offers end September 30, 2009. See accessories.toyota.com.au for more info.

Convict life no bar to building a nation We all know a lot of convicts arrived in New South Wales with the First Fleet, and thousands of current day Australian residents could trace their ancestry back to the “convict days”, but what was the transportation of convicts about? Transportation was a punishment for both major and petty crimes in Great Britain from the 17th to 19th centuries. A sentence could be for life or a specific period, and transportation was seen as a humane and productive alternative to execution, which would have been the fate of many. The timeline suggests it began long before Australia was settled by white man, with about 50,000 British criminals transported to colonies in America in the period from the 1600s to 1775. The

Convicts were required to work on government projects such as road construction, building works and mining, or were assigned to free settlers as unpaid labourers. Women were expected to work as domestic servants and farm labourers. After serving part of their time, some convicts were granted a “ticket of leave” which permitted some prescribed “freedoms” - they could resume a “normal” life, marry and raise a family, and help develop the colonies. A major deterrent to bad behaviour was “exile” and the notorious penal establishments were in Van Diemen’s Land (eg. Pt.Arthur and Sarah Island), Norfolk Island and Brisbane’s Moreton Bay.

The First Fleet consisted of 11 ships under the command of Capt. Arthur Phillip.

In the rear of a cat’s eye is a lightreflecting layer called the tapetum lucidum, which causes cats’ eyes to glow at night. This reflecting layer absorbs light 6 times more effectively than human eyes, allowing a cat to see better than humans at night.

VIRGINIA GROUP IN TOP 10:

NEWS v Two Wells, Virginia

The Plains Producer, Wednesday August 19, 2009

‘Komvicts’ set pace in Variety cash Drivers beware: the “Komvicts” are back ... and they’re armed and dangerous. In their second appearance in the SA Variety Bash, the team of four from Virginia are armed with cash and are dangerously charitable. Rocco Cantanzariti, Joe Trimboli, Joseph Manno and Chez Barbaro are in the top 10 fundraisers for the Variety bash, with $47,000 in the bag. The bash set off last Saturday from Adelaide, travelling to Alice Springs, where it meets with bashers from other states. Many cars travelled through the region on Saturday, Monday and Tuesday, with sirens and hooters stirring Balaklava, Clare and Gilbert Valley towns and many others. This year the Virginian team is dressed as Ghostbusters – a contrast to last year’s jailbird attire. And once again they will be driving the only Volkswagen Kombi van in the bash.

As some of the youngest competitors, they set an example for others of their generation, who they believe are missing out on a great experience which goes towards a great cause. “It’s a good way to help children and the bash is the reward after the hard work of raising money,” said Rocco. After winning the “best virgin team” award last year, they were more prepared and knew what to expect of the bash in 2009. They were able to put more energy into the fundraising which goes towards children’s charities across the state. “It’s great when you’re out there in the bush and you see some of the children who the money is going to. The look on their faces is probably the best part about the event.” As one of the top 10 fund-raisers, the Ghostbusters were honoured as one of the first teams to leave Adelaide and will do the same from Alice Springs.

Fun goes to a new level ALANA and Blake ... all smiles as they put the new playground through its paces.

Two Wells Talk Bronte Hewett bronte@plainsproducer.com.au

An upgrade of Two Wells’ public playground is now complete. The popular facility on Old Port Wakefield road has been upgraded to meet new safety standards, and includes a shade cloth covering, additional fencing, two items of equipment and soft fall matting on the ground. The playground was redeveloped at a cost of $62,000 with the help of Federal Government funding. Initially proposed to be finished on July 20, it suffered delays due to weather conditions. Kids have been swarming to check out the new equipment, which opened last week and coincides nicely with the warming weather.

Students are shooting for the stars

NEWS FEATURE v Rhynie

A small town and a tiny church prove communities last forever ...

Celebrating

150 Years

Words and pictures by Lauren Parker

he Rhynie township and Woolshed Flat church are celebrating a milestone later this month when they reach 150 years. The three day celebration, from August 28 to August 30, is expected to draw a large crowd, including interstate visitors. Brian Kemp was preparing for the celebrations last Friday. Brian, a Rhynie farmer, is president of the committee which owns and maintains the church. It was an ancestor of his, James Kemp, who donated the acre of land when the church now stands as testament to the community’s determination to have a place of worship. “An acre of land was quite a generous donation 150 years ago,” Brian said. “They only had small holdings in those days.” He said it was probably equivalent to about 100 acres of land today. Before the construction of the church, services were held at the Kemp family farm, where Brian and wife Maureen now live. Stone for the building came from a nearby quarry, and the building was completed in August 1959 - although parishioners originally had to enter through the back door as there was initially no money left to finish the steps at the secretary George Uppill front entrance, which became the first to be were eventually made buried in the cemetery, passing away at the age of Mintaro slate. Pews were rented to of 46 just months before local families to raise the church was completed, leaving behind money for the church. The church began his wife Mary and eight as a Wesleyan church, children. His descendents’great then Methodist, before becoming a Uniting great grandson Ian Uppill and wife Judith were reChurch.

It’s 170 years since the Uppill family first arrived in Australia. Friday in preparation for the celebration of 170 years since the Uppill family first arrived in Australia. The Kemp family has also had a long involvement in the Woolshed Flat church, where Brian attended services as a youngster. The church is now owned by the local

committee, which purchased it from the Uniting Church several years ago when it was identified as being surplus to the church’s needs. It had closed in 1971 to regular services. Brian said locals rallied together to keep their beloved church, which is still used each year for weddings, funerals,

and annual Christmas carols. Brian’s own daughters were christened in the church, and three of his four children were married there. “We wanted to keep it as a memorial to the pioneers of the area,” Brian said. “It was their meeting place in those days, and a landmark.”

Originally, there was also a school room closer to the road, which served as both a regular school on weekdays and a Sunday school. However, details of its history are sketchy. Brian, who has lived at the family farm his entire life, said he became more heavily involved in the church in 1960

Rhynie, from way back then ... until now

he town of Rhynie is reportedly named after a small town in Scotland, but other sources claim it was named after a farmer called Mr Ryan. • In 1859, farmer Mr Kelly was granted a small piece of triangular land - about two or three acres, which he worked and built up his farm. • A flour mill was built in 1860 by David Howard. It burnt down in 1884. This was believed to be the first flour mill in SA. • Coaches from Adelaide travelled north through Rhynie, changing horses at the sta-

RHYNIE School today

MAIN street about 1930 bles at Bakers Springs Hotel. • A railway was built from Riverton to Clare in about 1913. School was first held in the Methodist church and later in what was the butcher’s shop. There was also a catholic school. • The Rhynie council

chambers were built in 1974. Before this, council business took place in the hotel. The District Council of Rhynie was constituted in October 1866, and the first councillors were Patrick McNamara JP, Robert Messiter Cole JP, Arthur Nickolls, James Ryan and George Crit-

tenden. It united with the districts of Stockport and Gilbert in May 1932 to form the District of Riverton. • The town was initially called Baker’s Springs, named after a man who discovered a spring of clear water not far from where Main North Road now lies.

What’s on:

Friday, August 28 – meet and greet evening at the Rhynie Hotel. Saturday, August 29 – memorabilia display and morning tea at the Old Rhynie School, followed by wine tasting, a barbecue lunch and music, along with the unveiling of a commemorative plaque at the Bakers Springs Well site. That evening, a supper dance

when he married and his parents moved from the farm to Riverton. “It’s a labour of love for Maureen and myself,” he said. Within the church walls are relics of the earlier days, including a Bible from 1901 and a hymn book from the days of the old school room. Brian is disappointed the church’s organ was sold by the Uniting Church when services ceased, and while it has been tracked down, its owners don’t wish to sell it to the committee. Instead, the Ridgway family - another pioneering family of the district - have loaned an organ which has been in their family for many years.

will be held at the Riverton Institute. On Sunday, August 30 – hymn singing and historical recollections will take place followed by a quality musical program. A commemorative plaque will also be unveiled. Enquiries can be directed to Brian Kemp on 8847 2356 or Tania Matz on 0418 806 747 or email taniamatz@bigpond.com.au

Blyth Snowtown celebrates 21 years By Janet Zweck

Blyth Snowtown Football Club held its 21st birthday on Saturday at Kevin and Mardi Pratt’s farm in the “Big Shed” with 236 players, members and supporters attending. The club catered for the event themselves flying in Master Chef Sam from Melbourne to help local Master Chef Ros Zweck prepare the delicious cocktail food which was on offer throughout the night. The night was a huge undertaking by the club as a temporary kitchen was set up including cooking equipment and cold rooms and hot boxes, decorations erected with a cherry picker, bar built, carpet laid for the dance floor, wine barrels brought in for the comfort of the crowd plus much more and then there was the clean up the next day - massive! Thanks were extended to Kevin and Mardi Pratt for the use of their property for the Cats venue for a marvellous 21st birthday. Past players and members travelled from within the state to catch up with each other and reminisce about the teams they played in, against and especially the seven premierships the club won over that time. MC for the night was the ever reliable Paul McCormack who kept proceedings on track as well as controlling the crowd of happy Cats. On the night, there were many wine barrels scattered throughout the shed while waiters meandered through the crowd to serve tasty sausage rolls, spicy crumbed chicken accompanied with sauces and relishes, meat balls in pasta were a treat as were the tempting mini pizzas and quiches. The humble lamb chop marinated and seasoned and prepared over hot coals served on mash was also a specialty followed by a variety of luscious desserts including chocolate and cream gateau, chocolate mud cake, citrus tarts concluding with delectable warm jam donuts late into the evening. Congratulations were extended to the club’s caterers as they continued all night to keep the food flowing to satisfy the crowd’s appetite. First official item on the program was Tony Griffin (Snowtown) and Malcolm Wandel (Blyth), who were presidents prior to the amalgamation. They presented current B/S president Kevin Pratt with a 21st key signed by those at the evening. The seven coaches of the eight premierships during the 21 years were in attendance and gave a brief account of their memories of the seasons and highlights of the players who were under them and of the club. A power point presentation ran throughout the night and brought back many memories including the fashions on and off the oval, hair or lack of it, as well as the fun activities the club has organised through the seasons. High light of the night was the awarding of the inaugural Blyth Snowtown Football Club Life Membership to Mr Graeme Wandel who has been with the club for the 21 years and prior with Blyth Football Club. Graeme was caught unaware as this

prestigious award was announced, and he took some time to regain his composure before responding to his award. CATS Football Club has been a huge part of his life and he has held the football fraternity as one of his greatest passions. Graeme played 225 games for both Blyth and Blyth Snowtown Football Clubs before undertaking the role of B Grade coach and selector for the 1987 and 1988 seasons. He has served on the club’s management committee and sponsorship committees as well as being club delegate to North Eastern Football League. Graeme took on the role of club secretary for 10 years and later as president for three years. He has been club advocate, media officer and team manager as well serving on the committee for many years organising various aspects enabling teams to take to the field on a Saturday. Graeme’s love for the game has also extended to the North Eastern Football League taking on many major positions including vice presidency, chairman of various committees and current president of the League since 2007. Graeme has been Zone Delegate since 2005 and in 2009 has taken on the Central Zone Regional director. One of Graeme’s greatest moments as a non player was his first year of NEFL president in 2007 and shaking the hand of Blyth Snowtown CATS A and B grade captains on the dais as they won the NEFL premierships at the Blyth oval. This moment was remembered by the club as they presented Graeme with not only a life membership badge and engraved award but also a beautifully framed photo of the Blyth oval grand final day in 2007 as well as the A and B grade CATS 2007 premiership teams. Graeme does not have much idle time as he works at his successful business and also chairs a number of committees within the community away from football. Graeme thanked his wife Denby and his three daughters Sophie, Jessica and Hannah for their support. They were all in attendance on this occasion. A loud applause was given as a mark of respect for Graeme’s devotion to football especially to the Blyth Snowtown Football Club. Since the commencement of Blyth Snowtown Football Club there have been eight presidents and all except the late Ross Pratt were able to join in the celebrations during the night to congratulate Graeme. Inaugural president of Blyth Snowtown Football Club was Malcolm Wandel and he had the pleasure of cutting the huge 21st birthday cake with a saw while sparklers were lit glowing up the shed. While much reminiscing continued throughout the night the young players and supporters took to the dance floor and danced the night away. Congratulations to Blyth Snowtown Football Club on organising a great celebration and the opportunity of bringing many members and supporters together.

Cats supporters Wayne Darling, Chris Rowan, Barb Turner, Chris Krieg.

GOLF Balakalva

Last Saturday, 25 fearless flailers formed four files finally, thus forming our A, B, C and Juniors Grades with Dean Robinson thrown in just for the hell of it and hopefully, a resurrected handicap at some stage soon. This was the day for not only round two of the Club Championship, but also the highly sought-after Eddie Dennison Putting Trophy plus the prized P&O trophy. The day also belonged to A Grade stalwart Merv. Hameister, who had a round to remember with just 81 strokes for a nett 66. “Military Merv.” thus left Doug Taylor (86/75) to enjoy second place with Club Captain Ian Michael (89/76) claiming third. W. Parkin (79/77), fresh from a sojourn to the east, led the rest home, trailed by R. Butterworth (90/77) and M. Smith (96/81). G. McKenzie had a real Barry Crocker and moved resolutely to the nineteenth immediately postplay, so as not to trouble the scorers. In the B Grade comp. it was time for Tate Michael to make amends for last week’s disaster. He coolly smacked a mere 86 shots to win the stoush with his nett 68, marshalling more Michael men, Scott (92/73) and John (91/75) into second and third place respectively. BehindthememergedD.Rodgers(98/78), W. Nagle (96/80), D. Trickett (101/80) and G. Toms (104/84). B. Michael returned a broken man, distraught at the tragic loss of his one and only golf ball (which he found several months ago, by the way) returning a tear-smeared “N/C” (no card). Leaping out of the rather small C Grade mob was that demon golfer Andrew Manuel, who needed just 87 shots to get around, netting 63 and streaking the field. In his lengthy shadow stood Austin Henstridge (98/72) and Mike Hahesy (116/80). D. Addison (109/84) and C. Michael (113/89) completed the business. In his quest for reinstatement, Dean Robinson carded a very respectable score of just 107. Four Juniors joined the ‘groan-ups’, with Jordan Taylor (108/68) reigning supreme, edging Jordan Wilson (127/88) into second place, Jake Michael 136/97) third and one to keep your eye on, J. Harkness (166/126) in fourth. No Birdies occurred but Nearest the Pins did, to wit Bill Parkin on the 3rd., Capt. Ian Michael at the 8th, El Presidente, Scott Michael at the 10th and the mighty Murray Smith, who claimed the 13th. No-one got near the 15th, not even Rotten Ron. The best putter on the day was that young tyro Tate Michael, who needed no more than 26. This weekend will see the nail-biting conclusion to both the Eddie Dennison Trophy and our Club Championship. It will come down to who among Bill Parkin, Ian Michael and Merv. Hameister can prevail for the A Grade gong. Similarly Tate Michael, John Michael and Wayne Nagle will fight it out for B Grade glorywhileAndrewManuel,DigbyAddisonand Austin Henstridge will strive for superiority as the C Grade’s conqueror. Asabonus,wewillbejoinedbythemassed ranks of our Ladies compatriots, as they too fight out their version of the Championship. All this drama and blood-letting will be followed by a far more subdued and civilised presentation night, which involves a very generous BBQ dinner. Our collective thanks and gratitude to all who organised, donated to and attended the highly successful Auction/Cabaret bash last Saturday evening. About $10,500 was raised for the club.

The results meant the cup stayed at Two Wells 4.5 to 3.5. Agreat day was had by all and the matches played in good spirits.

who was slotted in interestingly at number 4. Philip’s excitement was shortlived as he and Steve Lawrie came a valiant second to Adam and Darryl in the last set. Two tiebreakers were played in this match, ending one apiece, with David and Chris featuring in both. Good to see David has recovered from his pulled muscle andplayedconsistentlyinhisrallies.Finalscore Yachts 3-29 to Canoes 3-21. Well done to all players on some excellent tennis! The other match saw Lisa Redpath’s very unlucky Tugs go down to the Richard Goldney’s Ships 4-25 to 2-23. Both teams had fill-ins with the stud muffin Scott McDonald playing for Tugs Di Taylor, and Emmalee Lomman and Jarek playing for Ships Diane Gregor and Cherie Cleary. The Tugs Scott and Shaun Northcott lost a close first set 5-3 to Richard andJarek,butLisaandMrsConsistentKevyna Gardner turned that around for a good win over Bec Houston and Emmalee. These two sets scores were identically repeated in the last two sets, so if that was all that was played, the Tugs would’ve won on games! Alas there were 2 more, with the two middle sets being the Tugs’ downfall, coming second in both, including another 5-3 thriller for opponents Scott and Richard. Good to see that Richard has also recovered from pulling his muscle! So close but yet so far for the little Tugs! Maybe next week.

Ladies Winter

The last minor round game saw some close matches with top team Heidi Zerk’s Solos defeating one of the three teams battling to be their grand final opponent, in Helen Durdin’s Limes, winning 4-31 to 2-19.The Limes started well with the forcibly promoted Sascha Tiller and Valerie Carling defeating Melissa Moulds and Julie Bigg in a marathon tiebreaker which was an excellent win. Solos captain Heidi couldn’t believe her opposing captain Helen had ‘dropped’ herself to number 2 to give Heidi the run around. Amazingly though Heidi and Kellie Harrison defeated Helen and Angela Battle 6-3 so Heidi was much calmer in her second set! Maybe too calm, as, with partner Julie, crashed to Helen and Valerie. Angela was having a dirty day and managed to win 2 games in her second set with Helen, locking set scores at 2 all heading into the last 2. Heidi was under the pump as her team was almost knocked off last week, and the Limes could sniff an upset. After a pep talk, the Solos came up firing, and won both of the last 2, including a dakdropper win to Kellie and Heidi over Valerie and poor old Angela. Valerie was the Limes star featuring in 2 winning sets, not mentioning that last one! Well done to Sascha who got a great workout against Melissa and loved it so much, she’s going to play again next week - but not against Mel! A reminder that next week is our BIG one, the grand final so spectators are welcome, if they bear the noise! The bottom 2 teams will face each other again next week with hopefully a reverse result, but this week saw Shaz Pike’s Sprites defeat Louise Michael’s Bitters 5-21 to 1-21. The Sprites rigged their team by having Helen Barry, on a bye, fill in, but not to be outdone, the Bitters recruited Kirsty Williams to fill in for them! The first set saw Helen and the ever consistent Lorraine Jenner have a good win over Kirsty and Kathryn Mahony, but Louise and Chris Simon reversed that to defeat Shaz and Rae Winen. Louise and Kathryn came second in their next set, whilst Kirsty and Chris had an excellent tiebreaker set, eventually going down to Helen and Rae. It wasn’t over yet, but it didn’t take long, as the Sprites took the last 2 sets. The top doubles was a long

one, with Helen and Shaz winning 6-4 over Kirsty and Louise in a very tight set. Lorraine was the star and was then able to really enjoy her lunch after winning all 3! The final match went down to the wire with Colleen Allen’s Cokes spoiling the party and grand final aspirations for Pauline Hill’s Fantas, 4-26 to 2-22. Luckily for the score recorder the Fantas and Limes both lost so in clear second position is Helen Barry’s Lemons. The Cokes started with a bang, winning the first 2, and assisted by the talents of fill-in Di Meaney, on a bye, who used brains not brawn to make direct opponent Narelle Michael and her partners run after some very well angled shots! Fantas Mary Connell, who will not be home next week until tennis finishes at 4 Pat, and Narelle did have a good first set against Colleen and Di but couldn’t quite clinch it in a tight 6-4. Narelle and Pauline did take the honours in their set together, but Mary and Kerrie Bell couldn’t get over the line. Usually sitting at number 3, Cokes Bec Houston was moved to number 4 to slot Di in, and kept pounding her top spin shots everywhere, much to Kerrie’s chagrin. However Kerrie wasn’t disgraced and played some great net vollies. The final 2 sets were very one-sided with Pauline, on a mission, and missionary Mary, sending Colleen and Denby Wandel on one, winning a dak dropper, with the latter 2, once again, using their old age as their excuse for coming second! Not that there’s anything wrong with that! Sensing their team mates anguish, Di and Bec upped the ante and won their set comfortably over Narelle and Kerrie, with the latter 2 at least saving their pride and briefs by snatching 1 game! An up and down match but with some very long and entertaining rallies played! And lots of noise too I might add, especially from Colleen, Denby and Narelle! Until next week, when we’ll welcome the fill-in team, Pepsi’s, to take on the middle ranked Cokes, Solos v Lemons in the BIG one, Limes v Fantas for 3rd and 4th, and wooden spooners Bitters v Sprites. Goodluckto all and rememberwe have the presentations afterwards! See you then…

Tennis Winter night

We thought we’d seen it all, but obviously not as there were a few ‘firsts’ this week, starting with Lisa Redpath breaking her first ever racquet string, and Peter Rohrlach having (not his first) blonde moment and rocking up to tennis, in a first for us, wearing ugg boots! We know it’s casual but that was taking things a bit far! However it did cause his team mates to go into a near meltdown as he raced home to change but they didn’t know where he’d gone! Nevertheless, his Yachts team re-grouped, led by acting captain Chris Daniel on duty for absent daughter Courtney, to fight off very toughoppositioninabsentLaurenParker’sCanoes. Both teams had very handy fill-ins, with young gun Adam Pratt playing for Courtney, and Helen Barry playing for Lauren. Birthday boy, Philip Shepherd, was also sporting a guernsey for Canoes sickie Kate Taylor, and had a diabolical start with David Northcott going down in a dakdropper to Chris D and Darryl Barkla.

Top four pick up pace in race for the finals Two weeks until the gruelling challenge of the finals comes into play. The intensity and the demand to reach number one is at a pace. The top four, strong, determined teams have all managed to maintain a claim on a top position all season, with Two Wells in poll position, Hummocks trail behind closely, Balaklava are only a few points away and Long Plains are determined to strike. So close all teams are playing to capitalise on the end result.

Hummocks v Mallala

Hummocks claimed the win over Mallala, leaving a 26 goal gap, 49 – 23. Both teams leapt into the game with fury sticking strongly to their tactics, moving to confront passes and pushing to lead at the front. Hummocks’ Melissa Moulds in GK took some strong turnovers, and with shooters Bonnie and Tammy Nicholls shooting accurately and precisely it pushed Hummocks to the front. Mallala’s strong driving through mid court centred their chance for quick replies to Hummocks’ play. With a close call to end the first quarter, Hummocks girls up by two, 10 – 8. A few changes into the second quarter for Hummocks proved to be successful for them, scoring seven goals before Mallala could reply, Bonnie Nicholls shooting with precision. Although Mallala had trouble accumulating goals, they applied immense pressure to Hummocks. Mallala’s Clare Bruggerman drove well, keeping a flow, passing down the court at a consistent level. Hummocks doubled Mallala’s score at the end of the second quarter, 24 – 12. Third quarter began more evenly though it wasn’t long before Mallala applied pressure again in Hummocks’ goal circle, forcing Hummocks to work extra hard to score goals. Beth Germein made some turnovers for Hummocks in Mallala’s end of the court in response. Still leaving them behind, Mallala only scoring seven goals, 34 – 19. Last quarter saw Hummocks backing up everyone, slowly increasing their lead, Mallala put the last of their energy into putting as much pressure as possible onto Hummocks, however Hummocks still pushed through. Sarah Young was best player for Hummocks and Nerida May was best player for Mallala

Two Wells v Hamley

Two Wells had a winning day against Hamley Bridge, taking a 11 goal win, 41 – 30. Leaving nothing to chance, Two Wells continued to increase their score every quarter, giving them a lead to keep Hamley Bridge just behind. “It was an all round effort by all the girls,” said Two Wells coach Penny Nicholas. Two Wells’ Cassie Lange was a star player for the day, although Bec O’Brien received best player for the team. Amy Roberts also for the Wells girls played with strong drive and created many openings. Alison Schahinger received best player for Hamley due to her strong defence in GK. Brianna Wedding was unable to play again this week due to her knee injury, which is affecting the girls on the court, as they’re insecure about losing their accustomed star shooter. Hamley’s defence was good to watch while in close contest with Two Wells’ attack line. Through mid court Hamley made many turnovers and made some good opportunities, both HB and Two Wells created a zone in the mid court, as both parties played a similar game of netball.

premiership table mirrored

A rare circumstance has occurred in the Adelaide Plains premiership table. Two A5 teams, Long Plains and Two Wells, have managed to accumulate the same results. Winning 22 games and scoring a total of 551 goals and 350 goals against giving each team the same per cent of 61.15. Regards to Judi Frost who sent us this interesting twist to the APNA Table.

BELOW: Balaklava centre Lauren Michael defends her Long Plains opponent Leah Tynan in the A2 match.

Long Plains won against Balaklava, with adamant determination, which did not break throughout the whole game. They came through defeating Balak by two goals, 35- 33. “It wasn’t a great game for us,” said Balak coach Craig Cox. “There were a lot of thing that didn’t go our way.” Balak’s Chelsea Koch was fantastic in GK with Michelle Williams in GD and Gaynor Tink in C they all worked well with the rest of the team and with the ball. Craig managed to rotate all eight girls through the mid court well and with a rare position change he had Carly Gregor moved from her usual WA in to GA in the last quarter. Longies managed to maintain momentum with Balak keeping it tight and close throughout the game. That was until the third quarter when Longies began to draw away from Balak. Emma Laintoll and Nicole Sobey defended well for Long Plains and through the centre court Bec Pym, Jess Wood and Sheree Tezacker moved well for their team, shutting down Balak’s drive. Longies’ Sharon Tillbrook injured herself and a very hesitant Shae Walker came on the court as her replacement, reluctant to play in an attack position, usually in defence. The last quarter Longies kept up the pace and controlled the ball to keep the two-goal space they had. Emma Laintoll twisted her ankle in the last minute of the game but soldiered on to play, determined for her team to cross the line. “We managed to hold on for a well earned win. It was a good team game. I’m proud of the girls,” said Long Plains

Mallala show why they’re on top Mallala 11.17 (83) d HW Eagles 8.13 (61)

A Grade By Ruffled Feathers

Under unseasonal warm and windy conditions, both teams were going to struggle with their accuracy and the game. Daniel Feeley kicked Mallala’s first score early in the quarter. Unfortunately the wind played havoc with scoring, as it caught the ball each time the teams kicked for goal as Matt Saunders’ attempt for Mallala and Daniel Thomas’ three attempts for Hummocks found out. Finally for Hummocks, Shane Braham goaled and tempers were being tested from the centre bounce. Players from both teams were finding that handballing was becoming more effective than kicking. Inaccurate kicking by the Eagles was resulting in Mallala being on the receiving end of the ball on occasions. Both teams juggled the ball between themselves, without scoring, but tight defence by Jared Wilson and Jared Manners resulted in a Hummocks goal from Daniel Thomas. First quarter - Hummocks 2-7 to Mallala 1-1 The second quarter had Mallala kicking with the wind and they began to take advantage of this. Daniel Feeley for the Magpies attempted again for goal but with no luck, then Mallala’s Brad Hardie put his boot to ball, scoring six points then Brett Start joined him scoring a goal. At times it looked as if Hummocks players were not communicating with each other with Mallala taking advantage of their mistakes. With the wind dropping, Mallala were steadying and kicking true with Matthew Birchmore and Daniel Feeley both putting scores on the board for the Magpies. By half time siren the Eagles were kept scoreless for the quarter. Half time – Mallala 6-9 to Hummocks 2-7 Mallala’s game play this quarter was to stay in

Eagles defenders swoop to defend against another Magpie onslaught in the second term. PHOTOS TERRY WILLIAMS front for the rest of the game. Again Daniel Feeley kicked another goal for Mallala. The Magpies began to pressure the Eagles forcing them to make errors and unable to keep up with their opponents. At this stage it seemed that the Hummocks boys were beginning to buckle. Breakthrough goals from Eagles Shane Braham and Luke Knappstein inspired their players to dig deep and they were on the comeback trail. The scores could have been a lot closer at the end of the quarter with inaccurate kicking from both teams and again the conditions were only to blame. At times the game resembled the “other football code – rugby”, with players scrambling on the ground for the ball. Three quarter time – Mallala 9-14 to Hummocks 5-12 At the start of the last quarter, Hummocks players were finding it hard to find options to kick to as Mallala tightened their defences. Then things began to

change. Midway through the last quarter, Hummocks began to turn the game around, winning the ball out of the middle and getting most of the possessions. The combination of Light, Hunt and Belperio began to bring the Eagles back into the game, then another from Thomas and Hunt (not having the best day), getting the score to within three goals of Mallala. Eagle defenders, Paul Chivell and Travis Sharpe made their presence felt keeping the Magpies’ tally to only two goals for the quarter. Full time Mallala 11-17 to Hummocks 8-12.

Senior Colts

Mallala boys were far too strong for the undermanned Eagles on a windy day at Lochiel. Both teams played with just 16 players on the oval (due to lack of numbers), but Mallala showed good football skills and certainly moved the ball well from end to end in each quarter. Kicking good scores regardless of

whether they were kicking with the wind or not. Ben Martin was a consistent performer for the Magpies with a real four-quarter effort. Jake Drew, Russell Helps and Ben Goudie also played well all game. Mallala shared the ball well amongst their team with four players each kicking four goals. The Hummocks lads had six players absent for various reasons and they had eight junior colts move up a grade to play a second game (all the juniors tried hard and gave a good effort – thanks boys). Eagles’ best was Nick Jericho and Matt Hoepner, both worked hard for the whole game. It was great to see Steven Deer and Zackery Zilm both in the Eagles best who worked well all day playing in unfamiliar positions. Overall the Magpies were just too good for the Eagles. Well done to the Mallala lads. The Eagles will need to work hard over the next two weeks to hang onto their finals chance.

Percentage boost as Two Wells look for double chance A GRADE By Bronte Hewett

Hummocks Watchman Eagle Shaun Price desperately gets a kick away before being tackled by his Mallala opponent (above) and A grade action from Lochiel on Saturday.

The Two Wells Roosters played out a fairly consistent game on Saturday to beat the Hamley Bridge Bombers by a solid 105 points. Wally Hand kicked 10 goals to boost the Roosters’ win, as well as his top spot on the goal kicking ladder, while the Bombers pushed themselves but again lacked the experience and dynamics of their opponents. The Bombers were first on the board, with a two goal lead within the first 10 minutes thanks to a solid start from Alex Rademacher. Their burst was short lived, as the Roosters soon worked their selves onto the scoreboard, with team plays through the field and set shot finishes from Scott Wise and Wally Hand. The Roosters got a two goal lead into quarter time, but the Bombers weren’t cut out of the game with some strong team plays still keeping the margin reachable. It was 2.1 to 4.3. The second quarter started off quickly for the visitors after another snap shot goal from Scott Wise in the opening minutes. Two Wells were smart with the football and goaled again minutes after. Matthew Norman, Tom Smith and Joel Lamitar were quick for the Bombers, using their pace and accountability in the midfield. Tyler Miller kicked the Bombers only goal for the quarter, while the Roosters extended their lead to eight goals, 11.3 – 3.1, with the Rooster forward line feeding and marking well. Stuart Gregory didn’t seem to run out of steam the entire match for the Bombers, and the Rooster midfield also covered a lot of ground with Khan Leighton and Adam Humzy the speedy onballers. Justin Schanhinger was dominating the ruck for the Bombers, but skillful rover Willy Sansbury fought the ball into Rooster possession and kept the side advantaged in the goal third. The Bombers picked up three goals in the third term, including a snap shot from Tyler Miller and a set shot Ben Burgess just before the siren. It was 16.9 – 6.3 going into the last term. The final quarter saw the Roosters kicking turn faulty with nine behinds and five goals, but a solid input from the speedy youngsters kept the game controlled. Todd Mackereth and Jed Eastwood were good for the home side, as they fought out the game until the final siren. Roosters Drew Lamont and Khan Leighton saw a lot of the ball in the midfield and wing areas, maintaining pressure throughout the match. Wally Hand sealed the deal with a final goal

Two Wells 21.19 (145) d Hamley 6.4 (40) on the siren, making the full time score 21.19(145) to 6.4 (40).

Reserves

The Hamley Bridge Bombers got a boost of confidence in their three point win over the Two Wells Roosters on Saturday. The home side trailed the whole match, until a sneaky mark and late goal from Lucas Morgante seconds before the final siren put them in the lead and left the Roosters dumbfounded. It was a low scoring and close match, with the Roosters steadily holding a one goal lead throughout. Windy conditions made it hard for both sides with sloppy disposals and skill errors. Cameron Lamont was good in Roosters defence, supporting Sam Barker in full back, while Ian Naulty had the midfield covered for the Bombers and fed the ball well into the goal square. There were equal opportunities in the goal third for both sides, but Two Wells managed a one goal lead at quarter time, 3.4 to 2.1. Lachlan O’Neil and Lucas Morgante had strong team work pressuring the Roosters, with Bryce Hart and Tommy Taylor not as dominant as usual for the Roosters in the midfield. It was another slow quarter with one goal apiece keeping the margin to one goal and a few points in the Roosters’ favour, 4.7 to 3.4. The second half seemed to drag on, as the Roosters really struggled to find their usual form and team dynamics, and Hamley Bridge hung on and fought for the win. The Bombers were steady enough to come back from the Roosters small breakaway at three quarter time, 6.9 to 4.6, which seemed like a huge break in this sluggish match. The Bombers kicked four goals in the final term, to the Roosters one, with the Bombers sharing the ball and finishing with goals from Tom Would, Luke Smith, Adam Slok, and the match winner from Lucas Morgante. Steve Larrett goaled for the Roosters, but the side still couldn’t get their act together in the final term and looked on as the Bombers kicked their way to victory. The final score was 8.9 (57) to 7.12 (54).

Tigers one step closer in race for the finals A GRADE - By Kym Jarman

In the A grade match at Long Plains both United and Balaklava’s seasons were on the line. A chance to make this year’s finals series was “the carrot” and all 42 players knew the task at hand. Balaklava acquired the first positive of the day obtaining the aid of a four-five goal first term breeze. After seven minutes of contested and congested footy typical of a match in which plenty was on the line, it was the home side that drew first blood into the breeze through Adam Mansfield after a great running team play. After watching the Reserves game this was the only way it seemed scoring could be done into the breeze with many kicks holding up and travelling no more than 20 metres. At the other end Pecker forward Jonathon Evans was looking dangerous as he shrugged two ‘would be’ tacklers but could only snap a minor score. Matt East’s run for United was proving invaluable and the combination of Heath Pym, Adam Mansfield and Adrian Mills meant United was sharing possession equally with Balaklava’s Brady Scott, Luke Tezacker and Ben Catford. Balaklava’s play when in possession often involved banging the ball in long and peppering the forward 50, however United was up to the task and despite Balaklava’s tall forward options looking dangerous, the home side’s defenders kept forcing the ball through for rushed behinds or fisting it clear to the boundary. When the quarter time siren sounded United had held Balaklava goal less - a great effort considering the breeze! Quarter time: United 1.1 to Balaklava 0.4 United’s first three forward entries with the breeze in the second term were less than convincing as they, like the Peckers in the first, also bombed the ball in only to have Balaklava’s tall defenders take both contested and uncontested marks. It wasn’t until the eight minute mark when United’s Heath Pym marked an errant kick in from a behind and kicked truly that they had their first with the breeze. United ruckman Will Banton was becoming prominent as his strong mark led to a goal for Jamie McArdle. Simon Schulz and Heath Pym were prominent for the Tigers while Jonathon Evans and Todd McPharlin were equally as noticeable for the Peckers. Like Balaklava did in the first term United were still wasting the breeze, peppering the goal front with only behinds resulting. It wasn’t until Matt East decided to bang one home from a 55m set shot that United finally had another after many attempts. Despite Ben Sobey doing all he could for United it would be Balaklava that would then kick the next two goals - both into the wind and against the run of play! The first came from Jonathon Evans as a result of a strong mark, the second from his brother Andrew with an equally good high flying mark, his “floater” sailing through for six points as the half time siren sounded. Half time: United 4.9 to Balaklava 3.8 With United only holding a seven point lead at half time the match was still anyone’s! In the third term however United again had a steely look in their eye and they soon set about breaking the back of the Peckers. Will Banton’s presence was ever imminent up forward as the big Tiger ruckman marked strongly 15 metres out - unfortunately the wind took the ball the wrong side of the post! The game was about to turn with United crumber Jamie McArdle kicking two goals within two minutes to break the game open for United who suddenly found themselves more than three goals up. With some string tackling on display from both sides, Ben Catford acquired many quality possessions for Balaklava and respective wingmen Tiger Adam Mansfield and Pecker Jed Rowland enjoying a good battle the rest of the quarter was relatively even. When Jamie McArdle added his third for the quarter and fourth for the game late in the term United were well and truly in the “box seat” boasting a four goal lead approaching three quarter time. Three quarter time: United 7.11 Balaklava 3.9. With the aid of the breeze in the last term United only needed to continue on in the same vein if they were to consolidate their finals chances and put a serious dent in Balaklava’s already fading 2009 hopes. The quarter started well for the Tigers but again with the wind they added minor scores only. The first to Sharman and the second to Sam McArdle. When Balaklava’s Brady Scott tackled well to win a ‘holding the ball decision’ he was also awarded a 50m penalty which saw Balaklava kick the first of the last term. United would soon answer and with Brad Shimmin playing well and combining with Heath Pym and

Pecker Jared Cmrlec can’t quite outrun Brayden Jones in the reserves action at Long Plains. Jamie McArdle for Adam Mansfield’s second running goal. Pym involved again soon after, handing to Tom Guerin who cleverly found Adrian Mills for a second shot at goal within a minute – it agonisingly went wide to again spoil the great build up. Brett Sharman then clunked a mark inside 50, his second set shot of the quarter resulted in a goal as did Mills’ when he pulled the trigger for a second time. United skipper Simon Schulz was leading the way with hard ball gets and Ben Starr and Peter Cook were tackling well and putting much pressure on Balaklava’s ball getters. With Balaklava captain and ruckman Hayden Walker looking exhausted and quite sore Will Banton started to get well on top in the ruck. Tiger wingman Adam Mansfield added his third goal before Dylan Carter added back to back running goals. It was all one way traffic for much of the last quarter with United running away with proceedings. Ben Catford who was a very good player throughout four quarters for the visitors added a late goal for his side but all in all the Tigers were too good – setting the win up with their work into the breeze in the first and third terms.

reserves

In the reserves match at Long Plains United fought out a good battle to take the points in their clash with the third placed Balaklava Peckers. United, going into a bye, needed to win this match to keep their finals chances alive – and did so by six points. With the aid of an extremely strong first term breeze United had little of the ball and failed to capitalise on the wind advantage – the Peckers dominated possession, but the wind was creating havoc as Balaklava had trouble penetrating the half forward line. Nevertheless Rick Lamond, Aaron Williams, Pete Georg, Travis Zerk and Oren Hearnden were doing their best. With the breeze at their backs in the second, Balaklava who had looked the better side in the first quarter were expected to pile on some goals. Despite the Peckers getting the ball inside 50 many times United’s defence was rock solid, their skill working in conjunction with their on-ballers saw United run the ball out of defence on many occasions. With Travis Opitz, Brayden Jones, John Mason and Leigh Michalanney all playing well United managed to keep Balaklava to just two goals for the quarter whilst adding one themselves to maintain the lead. Both sides had performed better into the breeze! Half time: United 3.5, Balaklava 3.2 In the third term United could ill afford to not make an impact on the scoreboard as they would need to build a buffer to have any hope of holding Balaklava off as it was the Peckers with the aid of the 3-4 goal breeze in the last quarter. United fought hard to win possession and kicked an early goal to look excitable. However, despite keeping Balaklava from entering the forward 50 the Tigers had not built enough of a buffer being just two goals up well into the quarter. Martin Bond was solid for Balaklava’s defence and Jared Cmrlec was busy through the mid-field.

United 13.19 (97) d Balaklava 5.12 (42) United’s Andy Sharman was in everything while Matt Dickie for United was regaining his touch after a few weeks out. It wasn’t until defender Kym Jarman snuck forward to kick truly on the run that the Tigers had their second for the term and a 17 point lead at the last change. Against the breeze United had their work cut out and held up well in a ruthless and desperate final term. Although Leigh Wright’s goal for Balaklava at the six minute mark provided a spark for Balaklava, it was the Tigers who won their fair share of the ball and controlled possession - running the ball to great effect. James Rundle moved to defence providing a calming influence in the back 50 and his precision kicking despite held the Tigers in good stead despite the ball spending most of the quarter inside Balaklava’s forward line. Balaklava eventually added a second goal through Hayden Battle to level the scores. United were not about to let their hard work be undone and just a minute later the Tigers answered with the “play of the day” taking the ball the entire length of the field from the back pocket and with up to 12 possessions and seven players involved found Adam Pratt in the goal square – he made no mistake from his set shot and the Tigers were again six points up. Balaklava had one last chance at goal through Hayden Battle but from 50 out the kick faded right with the breeze. United had done enough and certainly for their work into the breeze, deserved the hard fought six point victory! Final score: United 6.7, Balaklava 5.7

Junior Colts

Written by Corey Lee-Chapman Typed by Riley Curnow The game began with United kicking with a strong breeze. But it started bad for United with Balaklava kicking the first goal of the game. The quarter ended well for Balaklava keeping United goalless with the breeze. The second quarter started with Balaklava attacking hard. Balaklava kicked the first goal of the quarter with a great long goal from Cory Karpany. The quarter finished with Balaklava dominating the play. At half time the coach Jamie McArdle gave United boys a spray and begged them to give something in the next two quarters. United started well straight away with James Bugeja kicking a long ball from the centre square and nearly kicking a great bouncing goal. Balaklava were fighting well and keeping the ball out of United forward half. Cory Karpany was playing really well for Balaklava up forward taking some great marks and Heath Pym was doing well at his job as runner for United. The final quarter started with Cory Karpany kicking yet another great long goal. Tate Michael was playing very well for Balaklava in the last quarter. The game finished with United fighting hard to not get blown away in the last quarter. The final siren sounded with Balaklava winning 6.11 to United 0.4.

Eagles in desperate fight for finals berth Two Wells v HWE

Last year’s premiers Hummocks Watchman Eagles can take the first of two steps towards sealing a 2009 finals place with a win against Two Wells in this week’s penultimate game of the minor round. However, defeating a side in Two Wells that is assured of third place on the APFL ladder and set to write a story ‘of their own’ in 2009 is much easier said than done. While the Roosters’ place in this year’s major round is safely assured and the Eagles arguably have a lot more to play for in this match (needing to win to give them the best chance of making the finals and defending their 2008 crown) Two Wells are hardly going to lie down and gift fourth spot to the Eagles – especially when it means they would again meet in two weeks time in 2009’s first semi final. Two Wells have done a lot to prove themselves this season and certainly being unbeaten against both HWE and United this season thus far says much about both how far this young group has come - and also why it is the Roosters that sit in third place on the ladder and why perennial finalists in HWE and United are now left sheepishly fighting it out for fourth place. With the two midfield units providing the key and each side’s forward line firing on all cylinders in recent weeks this match should be well worth a look. The Roosters’ Allmond, Leighton, Uren, Sansbury and key forward Aaron “Wally” Hand will each have a big say on proceedings just as they did in the shootout that prevailed at Port Wakefield between these two sides earlier in the season. In the other camp Braham, Reid, Wilson, Light and re-invented forward Hunt will be leading the way for an Eagles. There is no doubt the Eagles

will be desperate as their finals hopes hang in the balance. Two Wells on the other hand have a great chance this week to show what they are made of in a ‘finals type’ atmosphere ahead of their bye next week. Last time they met: July 4 2009 Two Wells 25.9 (159) d HWE 18.8 (116) at Port Wakefield

Mallala v Virginia

This week’s match of the round will tell us a lot about how big of a gap – if any, separates sides one and two on the ladder and will also likely give us a taste test of what we can expect in this year’s second semi final - likely to also feature Mallala and Virginia. Certainly form suggests the Magpies are in the better form of the two sides after regaining their “mojo” six weeks ago. Although season ending injuries to key playmaker Joel Montgomerie and centre half forward Brad Griffiths have lengthened Mallala’s premiership odds, the Maggies have registered some solid wins in recent weeks disposing of Balaklava (by 72 points)Two Wells (93 points), Hamley Bridge (172 points), United (64 points) and last year’s premiers HWE (22 points)! Mallala’s form line looks irresistible, their team game seems un-hampered despite the injuries and they immediately and deservedly grab favouritism for this match. Although it is worth noting that the regaining of the Magpies “mojo” six weeks ago also co-incides with rebounding from their last loss - and that loss was to Virginia on July 4! What this means is the Magpies have beaten everyone else in the competition since the last time these sides met. Can they reverse the result from last time around make it six from six, defeating the Rams this week?

Virginia who are coming off a bye and a loss to HWE will be fresh and ready to tackle the last two weeks of the minor round being both eager and excited about the prospect of the finals football being “back on the agenda” for the APFL’s most southern club. This game gives the Rams their biggest test ahead of the finals with their next match (against the Bombers next weekend) set to serve as somewhat of a final ‘tune up’ before a big match that counts! With one win apiece in their two clashes already this year this week’s match of the round is sure to be a beauty! Mallala are set to deliver a message to their biggest challenger ahead of this year’s finals series, while Virginia with no home ground advantage this time will be doing their utmost to announce their arrival as a genuine 2009 premiership threat! If this match lives up to the hype this second semi “taste test” could be ... delicious! Last time they met: July 4 2009, Virginia 8.7 (55) d Mallala 6.11 (47) at Virginia.

Hamley v Balaklava

It’s fair to say although Balaklava are now considered to be out of the running for a 2009 finals place mathematically they can still actually make it if they win their remaining two matches by large margins.

Action from round 4: Anthony Seccafien Virginia, Reece Kerr Mallala, Grahm Rigney Virginia battle it out.

That task is much easier laid down in theory as they take on ‘soon to be’ minor premier Mallala in the last home and away match next week. However, this week’s clash against Hamley Bridge does give the Peckers a chance at keeping up half the two week bargain. Losses in recent weeks to Two Wells and United have hurt the Peckers and they will know just how close they have been in 2009 despite now staring at a sixth place finish. No doubt the 2009 season has been one of the tightest ever and Balaklava although undoubtedly shattered at recent results may well enjoy this week’s match and their chance to get back in the winners’ circle against the Bombers. In the home camp Hamley Bridge have two weeks of season 2009 left and although the season has turned out far differently to what they had planned the players and the club need to play for enjoyment and love of the game in these last two weeks. Although the Bombers are looking at their third consecutive wooden spoon one feels it is important for Hamley to finish the season on a positive note, enjoy each others company and take some heart into next season. Last time they met: July 4 2009 Balaklava 28.20 (188) d Hamley Bridge 9.5 (59) at Balaklava!

Magpies grind to victory • FROM BACK PAGE Mallala eventually got on top of Hummocks Watchman Eagles at Lochiel after kicking into the teeth of a strong breeze to start the match. The second quarter was when the Magpies made their move, keeping the Eagles scoreless thanks to the aid of a strong breeze and after some trouble with their own skills and shots at goal early in the match the premiership favourites kicked away in the second to set up a match winning four goal lead. To the Eagles credit the margin didn’t change with the Magpies leading by 25 and 26 points at half and three quarter times respectively. The final margin was 22 points – a respectable one for HWE who were belted by the Magpies at Mallala the last time they met. Mallala need one more win to secure their second consecutive APFL minor premiership. They made sure their tally was “three from three” against the reigning premier in 2009 and also made sure they have the mental advantage over the Eagles heading into the major round.

For the Maggies, Ryan Montgomerie was at his damaging best. The small, well balanced and strong utility player amassed many quality possessions with his skills in heavy traffic a highlight. Winger James Wildbore’s speed and elusiveness served Mallala well while Jason Earl who returned on the weekend from a long lay off was instrumental leading the side with fellow co-captain Liam Whitwell. The underrated Brad Hardie was again great finding space on his forward flank and defender Tim Cawrse was rock solid down back as always. Skilful forward Daniel Feeley was the pick of the forwards booting four goals for the Magpies in trying conditions. For the Eagles, who remain a strong chance to make this year’s finals series sitting in fourth place with two games to play, it was a return to form for Ryan Reid who at stages in the last two seasons has struggled with injury. If Reid remains on song for the remainder of 2009 the Eagles will certainly look a better side – and much more potent if they make it to September. Defender Nathan Young was instrumental at times on Saturday,

he along with Daniel Thomas used the ball well while small man Lee Belperio and season defenders Paul Chivell and Travis Sharpe held their opponents relatively well in the physical and sometimes unattractive match.

Roosters cement third spot

At Hamley Bridge the Two Wells Roosters continued on with the good form which will see them finish the minor round in third place. This week they defeated the Bombers by 105 points. Aaron “Wally” Hand kicked 10 goals adding his second double figure tally for the year to his already impressive second half of season 2009. Since the Roosters played the Bombers on June 27, Hand has kicked 49 goals in seven appearances and his averaging seven goals a game. The Magpies the only side to keep him to under three goals and even then he

kicked two of the Roosters total of five for the day. Hand to pick up best on ground honours while Willy Sansbury’s work in the centre and at the ball-ups was sensational. Drew Lamont played a game to suggest his place in the side should remain permanent while consistent 2009 performers Khan Leighton and Lee Allmond were again excellent. Justin Antony played with more freedom this week and seemed to enjoy it while for the Roosters Travis Uren kicked four goals and Scott Wise three. For the home side it was once again Justin Schahinger who led the way for the Bombers. Schahinger is a shining light in Hamley’s second half of the season, he now looks like he has well and truly filled the big void left by premiership ruckman Jamie Lowe who used to rack up best-on-ground honours often in a side that was struggling. The ever present Tom Smith again could not be faulted while Todd Mackereth, Jed Eastwood and Stuart Gregory all played great games. Tyler Miller, promoted from the Reserves, kicked three goals in a neat display.

InFARMation v Weekly guide to weather, agriculture Australia’s leading hay exporter

Hart ‘walk’ reveals all Hart Trials Field Site manager, Peter Hooper, said pre-emergent herbicide chemical performance on annual ryegrass in trial plots, showed nothing better then 80 per cent control. This control was only possible using a mix of at least two herbicides and research indicated where one herbicide was applied alone its effectiveness was reduced by up to 10-15 per cent. Farmers attending the winter walk were shown plots predrilled with farmer-saved ryegrass and oversown with wheat to which a number of herbicide mixes were trialled. In this trial trifluralin at 1.4 l/ha gave only a 60 per cent control. The new herbicide Sakura, which is a Group K, shows promise and

incorporated with Boxer Gold and Avadex Xtra appears to be a consistent performer over all soil types. Registered for barley grass, suppression of brome grass and resistant ryegrass and similar to Dual Gold, this herbicide may offer farmers another alternative in the continued battle against ryegrass. Using trifluralin, Avadex Xtra and Dual Gold, 70 per cent control was achieved in the inter row, but the problem lies with the on-row control with results indicating only a 30 per cent effectiveness, Mr Hooper said. The best ryegrass control in the row was with post sowing, pre emergent applications of herbicides, prior to rain. In another trial, work was being evaluated on

possible chemical mixes for controlling weeds along fencelines. With confirmation of 100 sites resistant to Glyphosate and 30 – 40 of those sites in South Australia, this work will provide valuable information on the effectiveness of alternatives to glyphosate Peter Boutsalis, of the University of Adelaide,

said farmers needed to use different modes of action, with some farmers using high rates of diuron or even clethodim. The concern is what remains after spraying finishes, with the odd remaining plant cross pollinating and increasing in numbers rapidly. “Topping these plants with paraquat and diquat to stabilise the seed could be a strategy,” he said.

New Durum varieties show promise in trials Several new Durum varieties are being trialled at the Hart Field Site and growers on the Winter Walk were impressed to see them showing plenty of promise. One of the more outstanding performers WID 801 is being multiplied up and will be available next year. Yet to be named,

the 801, 802, and 803 all display a more upright leaf, said Tony Rathjen. “The growth habit of the leaf on these new varieties has appeal as it does not flop down onto the crop.” When asked about yield potential, Mr Rathjen said Durum could be erratic with its yield and was

difficult to predict where it would find a place Mr Rathjen said based on the varieties currently commercially available, he preferred Hyperno to Saintly. Kalka, although a past popular choice, has now been found to contain high numbers of bread wheat. Mr Rathjen sug-

gests growers get their seed tested at harvest and if higher than one per cent source, clean seed this year. Research is making progress in relation to Durum’s crown rot problems, however, “we still have a long way to go,” said Mr Rathjen.

High seeding rates has become the accepted practice when sowing Durum, however Mr Rathjen said he now believed this was a mistake and we should be advocating low seeding rates as South Australia has warmer winters than where Durum originated from.

WIDER, narrower, higher, lower, earlier or later – farmers attending the Hart winter walk were faced with all of the above challenges when visiting the trial plots. Although pleased to see good plant growth, the ever present decision to change their existing cropping practices was again questioned. The trend to wider row spacings may see a trend back to the narrower, with work indicating that wider spacings in wheat and barley plantings in the Mid North are not being rewarded with higher yields. Site manager, Peter Hooper said this could be because there was more plant competition within the row, and so less heads produced – this may mean lower seeding rates may have to be used. Time of sowing is being tested with trials of staggered plantings. Dr Glen MacDonald, University of Adelaide said when you sowed early you sowed into relatively long days. The wheat ear starts to form four to five weeks after sowing and the trigger to form is based on day length and temperature. The varieties Correll and Frame have a genetic control to delay its development. In contrast Axe does not have a long requirement for cold so it can be stimulated to progress to in the maturity quite early in the winter. As indicated by farmers attending, there was also a move to sow peas earlier. The fourth week of May was shown to be a popular choice. L a r n M c M u r r a y, SARDI Clare, said the computer model, Black Spot Manager, indicated early June was the preferred sowing time, to avoid black spot spores, however most farmers, did not feel confident to go that late in this year’s early break. Results indicate that Pea Pickle T only lasts six to eight weeks, with plants being susceptible with rain outside that period. Use of Mancozeb does not give full control but does suppress foliar levels especially when you can get a spray down into the plants at the nine – 10 node stage. A second spray should follow at 1314 nods or two to three weeks later and definitely before a rain. New pea varieties to inspect on the Hart Field site main field day on September 15 include OZP0602 which has been shown to have a longer flowering window, which has the potential to set more pods. “This does not always mean more yield, but certainly gives us more opportunity,” said Mr McMurray.

Jamie finally gets JD’s message! n UNITED was running away with the game against Balaklava in the last quarter – and when Jamie McArdle copped a knock, coach John Ellis wanted him off the ground. n So he sent runner Jared Seiboth out with a message (right) – but Jamie was not keen about leaving the arena. n The coach made a few “suggestions” about Jamie’s fate from the boundary line, with another message from the runner – and eventually Jamie made his way to the bench (below) n We’ll let readers suggest the caption for the picture below – but the moral of the story is: ‘Don’t ignore the coach!’

Year’s penalty, fine for misconduct A Balaklava Football Club spectator has been handed a heavy penalty after an independent tribunal found him guilty of misconduct. The man was reported after he verbally attacked umpires following Balaklava’s A grade match against Two Wells on Saturday, August 8. “He was found guilty and suspended until the end of 2010 and fined $1000,” said Adelaide Plains Football League president, Brad Busch. Mr Busch said the penalty should serve a warning to other spectators and players that abuse of umpires would not be tolerated. “Clubs have got to learn to discipline their own players and spectators,” he said.

Mr Busch said the league was fortunate to have about 20 senior umpires, but many have said they would leave if the abuse continued. “If it keeps happening as it has this year we won’t have any umpires,” Mr Busch said. He said the league was pleased with the decision made by the independent commission last Wednesday night, and said the penalty could be heavier if such an incident occurred again. The penalty means the man cannot hold any official role within the club and is banned from activities such as goal umpiring, being runner, boundary umpire, or water boy and must not set foot on the oval while any football is occurring.

Balaklava ‘blows it’

United and Balaklava players knew a loss would likely spell the end of their 2009 flag aspirations in what was a season-defining clash for both sides at Long Plains. Sitting on equal premiership points in fifth and sixth place respectively before the weekend, these two perennial finalists knew this game provided a chance to effectively “knock the other out” of the 2009 competition while keeping themselves in the hunt for finals action. It was United who applied the greater pressure and displayed more effective “run and carry” style of play into an extremely stiff first and third quarter breeze. United’s work against the breeze was so good despite the wind being a decided goal advantage, the Tigers incredibly held Balaklava goalless in the first and third terms (when they had the breeze) to set up a resounding 55-point win. Amazingly, Balaklava kicked all five of their goals into the 4-5 goal wind! It was a great win by United, who have now ticked the first of the two boxes required to see them compete in this year’s finals series The second will present itself in their match against HWE in two weeks time. Barring upsets, both United and HWE’s season will be decided in the last minor round match. For the Tigers, Will Banton was again sensational. The big fella keeps on keeping on in the ruck while providing a great target around the ground his best attribute is possibly his work ethic and ability to make second efforts when the ball is in his area. He had a great battle with Hayden Walker early and really got on top in the second half when Walker slowed down somewhat. Rover Ben Sobey was ever-present for the home side also as were Simon Schulz, Matt East and Adrian Mills. Adam Mansfield played a great game on his wing finishing with many important possessions and three goals. For Balaklava Jonathon Evans is getting back to his best form. In 2006 Evans had a

United grabs finals chance as vital goals elude Peckers APFL FOOTBALL IN REVIEW

My Call n Kym Jarman stellar season as the competition’s best full back. Currently the spindly but strong key position player is proving more than a handful up forward looking ever dangerous when the ball enters his area – certainly his aerial ability is a highlight of any Peckers match! The youthful and super fit Jed Rowland had a good battle with the Tigers Adam Mansfield all day, Derek Fredrichs acquired many possessions and used the ball well while Brady Scott was Balaklava’s best tackler Scott effected numerous ‘holding the ball’ on the United players and was involved in nearly all of Balaklava’s scoring plays. Luke Tezacker was also serviceable and Ben Catford not unnoticed! It was a disappointing loss for a Balaklava, perhaps subconsciously ‘gutted’ by their shattering one point loss a week prior. We will never really know. With the bye this Saturday the Tigers again will likely be overtaken by Balaklava when the Peckers play bottom-placed Hamley Bridge. However, with Balaklava meeting Mallala in the last minor round, it would take a miracle for the Peckers to sneak in! • Continued Page 23
