Thanks for coming – there’s plenty to see

State Regional Development Minister, Paul Caica, made a flying visit to Balaklava yesterday as part of a two day visit to the Yorke Peninsula region. Minister Caica, who also is Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Forests and Industrial Relations

Minister, looked at living options for people associated with industrial development in the region and toured the 100 allotment Wattle Ridge Development. He also met with managers from Balco at their Balaklava office, followed by a tour of Balco’s

processing and distribution site at Bowmans, the proposed location of a Northern Adelaide Railhead. Mr Caica clearly was impressed with the standard of housing at Wattle Ridge when shown through the estate by Wakefield Regional Council CEO, Phil Barry.

He said the introduction of a low rental scheme was a vital component as more people came to the area to work at local companies like Primo. Balaklava’s central location and proximity to Adelaide’s northern boundary and other nearby re-

gions were strong points for future growth. “We realise there are issues related to growth,” Mr Caica said. “We are in continuing discussions with councils through forward planning.” • Continued Page 2

Making the link from degrees of separation

E’RE going to tackle a few topics today. Some good, some not. First, the good news. It’s amazing what you learn about people! It certainly is very important to read the Plains Producer. This fact was very apparent as a group of locals gathered for a photograph in Balaklava recently. It was one of those “six degrees of separation” events, where people come together connected by a common thread. This was the 80th anniversary of The Ghan, Great Southern Rail’s enduring passenger and freight train which now runs from Adelaide to Darwin. Would you believe five people who live or have lived, or have family connections in Balaklava, have connections to The Ghan? You can read reporter Lauren Parker’s excellent feature on these people in today’s paper. Three continue to be involved with the Ghan, and two have retired. Lauren’s report reveals all, in an interesting commentary on 80 years of the Ghan, the iconic train

EDITOR Editor@plainsproducer.com.au which started out to Alice Springs on August 4, 1929. Bill Gorden, the likeable silverhaired walker often spotted ambling along Balaklava’s roadsides, probably holds some seniority, having worked on The Ghan for 37 years, from 1953-1990. Now-retired train driver Peter Robbins recalls events along the line when out in the Never Never as a youth. The other three – giving considerable years to Bill and Peter – are Leeanne McCracken, Sam Harrison and Ben Durdin. Their

involvement proves what could be classed as small communities really are not that at all. We all know and love The Ghan, even though many of us, including me, have never been on it. There’s something about its pioneering, ground-breaking spirit, its battle with nature in an unyieldling, deadly landscape – and the fortitude and drive of the people who not only crewed the train, but were its passengers as well! The Ghan, with its emblem, epitomises those it replaced, the Afghan cameleers who carved a transport route out of the hostile Australian desert to service the outback stations and towns struggling to survive. The train and trucks eventually saw the cameleers off but it is right we should today still call it The Ghan. It’s just so Australian. And, in a way, it was just so Australian the original dream of linking Darwin via Alice Springs took another 75 years to come to fruition. We coped. But it’s better now.

By Karen Petney Edible Blooms, the online e-tailer, delivering an exotic range of “bouquets” of gourmet chocolates, home-baked cookies and fresh fruit has won the national MYOB Small Business of the Year Award at last week’s Telstra Business Awards. Business owner and former Balaklava resident, Kelly Baker said she was “over the moon” when she learned of the win, adding the achievement was “not bad for a couple of country girls.” “It was a brilliant night. It was great to have mum and dad (Margaret and Bevan Baker) there with our staff – they were as excited as we were,” said Kelly, pictured with her award. Sister Abbey, who is in London, was equally pleased to learn of the win by phone. Adelaide based Kelly said that while the win was exciting, it was a little frustrating to learn the business had missed out by a “whisker“ on being

Learning from Ted Kindergarten children from Balaklava Community Children’s Centre were awarded a highly commended certificate for the Primary Maths Challenge on Friday night.

Their project was a mathematical approach to ‘The Teddy Bear’s Picnic’. It included collecting data and collating the information as graphs, photos and written comments.

to pay their bills. Largest group would be our senior citizens, who still like to pay by cash or cheque. Many are not computer literate. So this group, mostly pensioners, is being slugged because they don’t have a computer – which of course means they can’t be sold an internet service! I reckon our Nanas and Pops deserve a better deal and they should demand one! o A final, trifling observation: Country folk, being as they are, often make presumptions. Among other things, this could be that you (a) know who they are (b) where they live (c) their phone number (d) what footy team they support (e) to whom they are related (f) their dislike of rhubarb. You get the picture. We had an interesting conversation with someone recently who told us “they were down in the back paddock, waiting.” Oh heck. What back paddock? Please, dear folk, don’t presume all of us know all of the above. Not all have “local knowledge.” And please, don’t be offended if we ask who you are. It’s just the way it is.

Business award brings another taste of success

Horizon Christian School will officially open its new new double science laboratory next Wednesday. The new double lab, to be opened by Fedeal MP for Wakefield, Nick Champion, has one space set up specifically for physics with black curtaining and the other for chemistry. The new building also includes some offices and a large preparation area. Funded by the Federal government’s Commonwealth Block Grant Authority, the laboratory is the first of a number of projects planned for the school. If all goes according to plan it is anticipated the “go ahead” will be given for other projects around November. Most schools in the are progressing building programs brought on by government funding.

Recently in the post there was advice from the company providing me with telephone communications. It always has; probably always will – because I believe their service is best. I’m not “telling” who. But I could not believe the recent letter from Ramon Gregory, executive director, customer sales and service. This related to a new $2.20 payment “administration fee” for each bill payment sent through the mail or made in person at the telco’s shop or Australia Post outlet. Other telco’s, I am told, do the same. The letter indicated it was also going to charge an extra fee for those who pay by credit card. Okay, I can begrudgingly cope with that. However, it’s just not on charging a $2.20 fee to a group of people who probably can least afford to pay. This has been brought about because this company, one of Australia’s most profitable, wants everyone to pay by direct debit, B-Pay or by using credit cards over the phone or online. Well, Duh, Mr Gregory (and others) ... not everyone uses a computer

named “Business of the Year” after the judges deliberated for two and a half hours. Telstra Business Group Managing Director and Telstra Business Awards Ambassador, Deena Shiff, said judges were impressed by the company’s outstanding entrepreneurial, managerial and innovation skills. For Edible Blooms, the win is the crowning glory to a meteoric rise for a company that only started four years ago. As well as winning the prestigious title and publicity money can’t buy, the business has won $7,000 of MYOB products. “We’ve just invested in upgrading all of our technology to the point we can now handle a 400 per cent increase in our turnover. I’m just thrilled with the win as much for all of my staff who were so excited we got to the national final and are so motivated for the company,” Kelly said.

Minister’s tour of Balaklava, Bowmans • From Page 1 “We are in continuing discussions with councils through forward planning.” Mr Caica acknowledged water supplies to growing towns was one major issue. “We are getting better at managing water,” he said. The Bowmans Intermodal site and proposed Northern Adelaide Railhead was “an exciting concept.” “We will continue with due diligence and the government will work with council and private enterprise to explore the concept,” Mr Caica said. “The preliminary work through Balco

has been done. It would be good for the region.” Balco managing director, Malcolm May, said the company was working hard to push Bowmans as a preferred site for a northern railhead. “We are also very aware of the impact of realigning the rail freight line east of Adelaide to link to the line at Mallala,” Mr May said. A report making recommendations to the Federal and State governments is due to be released very soon. Wakefield Regional Council’s Economic Development Committee presented its Bow-

man’s Industrial Zone Master Plan in April. It in-depth study by QED Pty Ltd makes strategic recommendations on key issues, opportunities and constraints regarding the development of the area. Water, the roads network, lack of mains gas supply and building a workforce were some problems to overcome. However, the report said the region offered greater efficiencies than other areas such as Tailem Bend and was able to accommodate operations of considerable scale, with no constraints to 24/7 operations. The plan offered three major scenarios as part of its development strategies.

Blast rocks Mallala street Police wait to question injured man

A 32 year old man remains in a critical condition and is receiving treatment for life-threatening burns to 30 per cent of his body after an alleged clandestine drug laboratory exploded at Mallala early last Friday morning. The force of the explosion blew out windows and buckled outer walls of the transportable home in Elizabeth street. Police removed 16 kilograms of cannabis and an unknown quantity of what was believed to be hashish oil from the premises. Chief Inspector, Alex Zimmerman, said police will speak with the man when his condition improves, which may be some weeks away, given the serious nature of the injuries. The man was taken to Gawler hospital by a woman, believed to be inside the home at the time of the explosion. The man was later transferred to the Royal ABOVE: Two CFS members wearing protective suits enter the house. Adelaide Hospital burns unit. BELOW: A large contingent of local CFS crews were called to Mallala.

Gunshots riddle Lewiston house Police investigations are still underway after a home at Peppermint road, Lewiston, and two others in Adelaide were sprayed with bullets early Friday morning. A large number of shots were fired into the Lewiston house about 5.10am. The sole occupant escaped without injury. Police believe members of a motor cycle club could be behind the attacks – with the Lewiston resident an innocent victim after moving into the house which police allege was once occupied by a man affiliated with bikies.

The other two incidents occurred in similar circumstances in Edwardstown and Andrew Farm. Detective Superintendent Des Bray, of the Crime Gang Task Force said: “This is yet another example where gang rivalry and reckless behaviour of these individuals exposes the public to risk of death or serious injury. “Police will be relentless in their pursuit of individuals and gangs involved in these offences.” Anybody with information should contact BankSA crime stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Inkerman waste deal approved: Dublin next

Low level contaminated waste will now be accepted at Inkerman landfill following State government approval for an expansion of the site. Announcing the approval, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Paul Holloway, said the expansion was subject to 22 conditions, Minister Holloway said much of the opposition to the expansion centred on fears emissions from the facility could affect nearby residents and primary producers. “Advice to government is the use of a double liner and leachate detection and collection system and modified cells for disposing of the waste will provide safeguards against dust emissions and leaching into groundwater,” Minister Holloway said.

By Karen Petney karen@plainsproducer.com.au

However, State MP for Goyder and Deputy Opposition Leader, Steven Griffiths, has slammed the decision saying he wonders if the State government and the Environmental Protection Authority actually read submissions it received during the public consultation process. “Most of the issues raised have been ignored and consultation from the Rann Labor government again appears to occur in theory but not in practice. Mr Griffiths said he was pleased leachate management enforcements are in place and including the monitoring of groundwater. However, the absence of any measures to ensure dust from the low level

contaminated waste is adequately monitored and controlled is appalling. Friends of Gulf St Vincent are concerned the public will have no warning of impending problems from breakdown of the cell materials, until the results are too obvious to ignore, but much more difficult to rectify and remediate. “Consultants initially asked the public to accept the extension would not cause problems with groundwater and the Spencer Gulf, because monitoring of the earlier landfill did not show ‘distinctive’ changes. “Then, when the public points to scarcity of monitoring information, the consultants say the earlier experience is not

relevant,” a spokesman said. He added the recommendations in the report leave it to the licensee to negotiate with the EPA on its Environmental Management Plan, and the design of cells to receive these contaminated wastes.

“We see no specific recommendation to improve the rigour and transparency of monitoring, or to design operations so they can respond to monitoring information,” he said. Meanwhile, Mr Griffiths was disgusted with the State government’s

“complete disregard“ for Adelaide Plains residents, by not making the conditions of the development approval readily available. “Those who want to look at the conditions will need to look at the South Australian Government Gazette

website (August 20 issue) or contact my office on 8832 2455,” Mr Griffiths said. A decision on the application to expand the Dublin landfill is expected soon, with the matter to be considered by the Governor tomorrow (Thursday).

Labor costs may hit shows

FederaL Member for Grey, Rowan Ramsey, claims country shows could suffer under an award modernisation program . Mr Ramsey said the changes, proposed by deputy Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, will mean labour costs in the amusement industry will rise and may cost country shows thousands of dollars. Employers will be faced with paying double time for Sunday work and double and a half on public holidays, which Mr Ramsey says will initially have an impact on shows run on Sundays and public holidays. The plan had the potential to spread to all country shows

BALAKLAVA • It’s time to start thinking about bringing out your formal clobber and glamming up for October’s Masquerade Ball. In days gone by these events appealed to royalty and titled nobility because rigid protocol and court etiquette was suspended, and they could have fun, dance and flirt with whoever they wanted, without it becoming a state scandal. While there is no talk of royalty attending or state scandals this year’s ball – and the anonymity provided by the mask – is sure to mean people will let their hair down and have a great night. Held on October 24 at Balaklava Town Hall, the ball is the major fundraising event of the Balaklava High School student forum. Live entertainment will be provided by the band “Free Spirit”, and supper and desserts will be provided and drinks are available for purchase from the bar. Tickets are $60 and available from the high school and Balaklava newsagency. Money raised will go toward the Student Forum and to past student, Hillivi Harrison, who is undertaking volunteer work overseas.

Since the end of 2008 the Lutheran Parish has been trying to fill the vacancy left by Pastor Nigel Rosenzweig who took up the position of Pastor at Immanuel Church, Novar Gardens. In July 2009 Pastor Linards Jansons and family returned from a two year study trip in America and before Pastor Linards commences work at the Adelaide Lutheran College as a lecturer in early 2010, the Parish has been fortunate to gain his services for 5 months. Together with Pastor Fin Klein of Brinkworth the Parish has been blessed to gain full Pastor services until the end of 2009.

Prizemoney winner for racing clubs Balaklava Racing Club’s rich cup meeting – due to be run next Wednesday – will be boosted further by prize money increases next year. Controlling body for horse racing– the Thoroughbred Racing Board, has announced a major prize money boost for the South Australian racing industry. As well as gains for metropolitan racing, feature Cup days at both provincial and country race meetings will increase from February 1, 2010, with the provincial cups to be run for at least $40,000 and country cups increased by $15,000. Balaklava Cup, as a Listed race, has $70,000 in prize money and is already well above the regular Cup meeting winnings. Next year, the prize will also increase further, but the amount still is being negotiated. While it’s a very positive step for the industry, Balaklava Racing Club CEO Doug Hall believes it will not attract more owners. “It will sure-up existing owners ... but most people in the horse racing industry aren’t in it for the prize money, because there are so few horses that win money,” he said. It will provide incentives for current owners and trainers, and give the industry a boost. In addition, Country Open races will rise to $10,000 – an increase of $4000 over financial year 2007-08. All other races including Maidens will be held for no less than $8,000. The announcement was made on Monday by Thoroughbred Racing SA chairman Philip Bentley at an Industry Awards ceremony at Allan Scott Park, Morphettville. “The South Australian racing industry is now financially stronger when compared to recent years. It is now appropriate to translate this strength into higher prize money and provide the incentive for people to invest in our business,” Mr Bentley said. Preparations are well under way for the Balaklava Cup next Wednesday, with Magical Pearl winning a recent meet in Adelaide and several other horses looking like strong contenders.

Katie bares her soul in art show

Becoming a mum meant more than a change in career for Katie Wyatt, it also gave her a chance to explore an outlet “just for her.” From her work in graphic design and fashion Katie is known as the “netball bodysuit queen” having designed the uniforms most clubs and teams are wearing or versions of them. Although she has been drawing and painting for as long as she can remember, giving up her full time career to care for daughters (Olivia, now 4 and Bianca, 3) gave her an opportunity to pursue painting. With encouragement from husband

Kym, and a good foundation built from one-on-one tuition from her high school art teacher, Krista Hernach, Katie started on her journey not really knowing where to start. Tomorrow (Thursday) Katie’s first solo exhibition opens at Balaklava Courthouse Gallery and she is nervously looking forward to displaying “a lot of her soul,” as well as the people and places she loves. As well as studying other artists, researching books, the internet and visiting galleries, she started entering local art shows. She says she would hover next to her paintings to hear feedback from viewers.

“Some comments were horrible, some encouraging, but they all motivated me to keep practising and developing my style,” she said. In 2007 Katie won Best Portrait in the Balco Art Prize, and was the overall winner in 2008, with her painting “Secrets of a Diva” depicting how she imagines her two girls will look when they are teenagers. “I was extremely shocked to win the prize,” she said. Katie’s exhibition continues until Sunday, October 4. The gallery is open Thursday, Friday, and Sunday from 2 to 4pm or by appointment (phone 8862 1173).

In the pink with ABB community grant!

Friends in Pink, Balaklava’s newly formed Breast Cancer Support Group is one of six local groups to receive funding from the ABB Grain Community Fund. Friends in Pink coordinator, Diane Gregor, said she was very excited to learn of the funding, which will be used to raise its community awareness and to assist with promotion.

Diane said she called a meeting in March to gauge community interest in the group being formed. “The response has been fabulous and the group will be meeting quarterly to provide a social outlet, as well as support, for those who have either had breast cancer or are still undergoing treatment. Other recipients Also receiving assistance are

Joy inspired by support network

Local breast cancer survivor Joy Ryan was in Melbourne recently to share information at a national summit hosted by Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) • Joy is pictured (above) with Olympic legend and cancer survivor Raelene Boyle, who is a BCNA board member. About 200 participating survivors met to discuss issues such as the impact on families, the importance of connecting with the local community, and support for living well with the physical and

emotional effects of breast cancer. Joy represented Balaklava breast cancer support group ‘Friends in Pink’ . “The summit offered information and inspiration as well as some practical ideas to take back to the Balaklava community,” Joy said. “Local breast cancer groups are a great source of support for women dealing with breast cancer,” Joy said. “Coming together with women from around Australia and connecting with their experiences really

brings home how important it is to link with the national network.” A key focus was to work towards better outcomes for women living with breast cancer and their families. It was also announced more than $2.7 million in Federal funding would go towards better access to information and support through the National Breast and Ovarian Cancer Centre and Breast Cancer Network Australia. For more details, visit www. bcna.org.au.

Towns and projects in the Mid North and Adelaide Plains regions are among more than 300 entries received in the 2009 KESAB Sustainable Communities (Tidy Towns) program. Last year the Blyth community received the best small town award

The humorous side to law and order Law and order generally is a serious matter, but the recorded history of local towns and districts often includes somewhat “humorous” sidelights. On March 12, 1868, the “South Australian” reported of Saddleworth: “If black eyes, bloody noses and sprained limbs be signs of lively times, then we may say our township has presented a rather lively appearance this last month or two. With regard to other things, it appears to be dull at this time of year.” Then in February 1869: “I have heard of some rather clumsy jokes being played in this place lately. Some tippling lads are in the habit of borrowing horses on what may be termed French Leave. I have heard of no less than four horses being ridden off within

Surely we might conclude there is work for the police to think about.” There were occasional murders or attempted murders but complaints at Saddleworth seemed to be mainly about petty crimes such as voting twice on the same day, as well as the theft of wood geese and fowls.

In 1927, council minutes noted the mounted constable from Two Wells had been asked to take the names of offenders driving or riding a motor vehicle or any other vehicle in a manner endangering the public, with a view to prosecution.

No funding for local roads suspicions of Goyder MP and Deputy Leader of the Opposition, Steven Griffiths, were confirmed when he met with officers of Transport SA recently. Mr Griffiths learned the majority of road funding for maintenance projects in the Goyder electorate, allocated in the State government’s latest budget, will be spent on repairing the St Vincent Highway (between Ardrossan and Stansbury). This means maintenance

work on other roads in the Goyder electorate, including the Balaklava to Owen/Hamley Bridge road has been left in the lurch.

Health service plan

Lower North and Balaklava Riverton Health Advisory Councils (HACs) met last week to discuss the process to be undertaken to ensure full community consultation, as they establish the health service plan for the area. Gary Stewart, Director, Yorke and Lower North Health Service said the meeting worked through how the community consultation would occur, identified key stakeholders, how the communication with the community would occur and how community feedback would be managed to ensure the plan reflected the current and future needs of the area. Community consultation will occur later in the year, with the final plan due to be completed in June 2010.

Meanwhile, tougher enforcement powers and huge fines form part of a new Public Health Bill released for public consultation by the State government. Minister for Health, John Hill, said the Bill will replace the outdated Public and Environmental Health Act will provide modern, flexible health regulations and tougher enforcement powers to protect South Australians from practices that put their health and wellbeing at risk. The Bill proposes increased management of people with controlled infectious diseases whose behaviour may be placing others at risk. Public feedback is invited.

Anger as youth vote stalls Federal government has shutdown a debate in Parliament about its controversial Youth Allowance changes which will leave hundreds of students without the chance of attending tertiary education. Federal Member for Grey, Rowan Ramsey, said the government had a chance to defend its policy but instead shut down the debate. “Julia Gillard is refusing to negotiate

and do what is right and fair for country young people and I was particularly disappointed to see Labor MPs with regional electorates, vote to shut down debate on this important issue which is going to hurt thousands of their own young constituents.” Mr Ramsey encouraged regional voters to contact all MP’s and to contribute to the website www.educationforaustralia.com.au.

Stephen riding high as our top show jumper By Bronte Hewett With a string of recent successes on the show jumping circuit, talented horse rider Stephen Devine has been keeping very busy since moving to the Adelaide Plains from Mount Gambier two years ago. The 18-year old has been named in the Australian Youth Development Squad, after, among other things, taking out the 2009 Victorian State Country Junior Championships and being named a Reserve for the Australian show jumping team at the 2009 Youth Olympics. He has also received the Young Rider Scholarship for the second year running. “It’s all pretty exciting,” Stephen said. While living and working at the Northern Equestrian Centre in Penfield, Stephen’s show jumping has gone from

STEPHEN Devine with coach Clive Reed and (left) taking his horse, Kirkley Hill Dejavu over hurdles. being a hobby to his full time job. “I love it, I would never turn away from it,” Stephen said. And he has made quite a name for himself competing all over the country. Coach Clive Reed said he is thrilled about Stephen’s enormous success lately. “He is the top ranked rider in his age group in

the State, and his horse (Kirkley Hill Dejavu) is the top ranked horse,” Clive said. The Equestrian SA Awards Night was great for Stephen, winning the Leading Junior Rider of the Year and the Young Rider Scholarship for the second year in a row, while also being notified of inclusion on the Australian Youth

Development Squad. “We all very proud of him here at the Northern Equestrian Centre,” Clive said. “He is definitely one of the best young riders in the country for his age group.” Stephen, who also plays football for Two Wells, has been a horse enthusiast since a young age.

“I just got a pony one Christmas, and before I knew it I had a whole paddock full of them,” he said. “I did a bit of eventing and dressage, but show jumping was the thing that took my biggest interest,” he said. Next on the agenda for Stephen is an intercountry challenge in Perth later this month, where Stephen and the South Australian show jumping team will compete against Western Australia and Indonesia. Stephen went to Sydney for the 2009 Youth Olympics as one of the reserves. It was a fantastic experience and has Stephen determined to make the team for the next Youth Olympics in Singapore in 2010.

No looking back for a rising star A rising star has been discovered in Balaklava on the cross country running circuit. Tenneal White, 12, is travelling to NSW this Friday to represent South Australia in a national cross country race. The year seven student at Balaklava Primary took out an inter gender event in Burra five months ago, and has since been recognised at a state level. The sporty 12-year old said her teacher suggested the cross country run, and she has since grown to love it as an alternative to sprints. “It’s fun. Mr Brice suggested it and I just really liked it from the start,” Tenneal said. Out of a squad of 20, she is the only Northern areas student to be selected in the State side, and she is beginning to feel the pressures of elite sport. “I am really nervous,” she said. But she is no stranger to competing, as she also plays netball, basketball, tennis, softball and came second in the little athletics state championships. By the sounds of things, she has committed herself to cross country running, saying she wants to continue competing at a state level and training very hard leading up to the nationals. “The training is really hard. It’s intense, but I like it,” she said. We look forward to hearing about her results in NSW.

TENNEAL White will compete in a national crosscountry title in NSW

n IN PROFILE: Di Meaney

There’s a real local

80 years of SA rail history

Walking with the pharaohs

he odd trip to Egypt would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for a lot of people. But it’s not the case for adventure spirited Di Meaney, who is planning her seventh trip to Egypt in October. The Two Wells resident has been interested in travel and different cultures since she was a young woman, and has ventured many places in extraordinary circumstances. “ I’m definitely happiest when I’m getting on a plane to go somewhere,” Di said. However, it’s not always a plane. In the 1960s, in her early 20s, Di travelled from London to Calcutta, via the heart of the Middle East in a 4WD vehicle. Hardly crossing another Western person in her tracks, Di went through the depths of Jordan and Turkey with two Australian companions, into the deserts of Iran and Iraq, up to India and everywhere in between. The trip took three-months, and it wasn’t the end of her adventure. From Calcutta, Di made it to Darwin via Singapore and hitchhiked with a truck driver to Alice Springs. She ended up flying home from Alice, and at the time, didn’t know she’d

THE tour group in Egypt last year.

Two Wells talk With Bronte Hewett revisit the outback areas of Australia in another truck later in life. Her adventures continued into family life after marrying her late and highly respected husband, Malcolm Meaney. The pair owned and operated a trucking and transport business and Di’s experiences as a women trucky are hot topics in her recent talks across the Adelaide Plains. Di explains she doesn’t feel her life in the trucking industry has been extraordinary and she and her husband were just doing their bit to make a living, but the talks have attracted great interest and she has had more phone calls recently for more talks in the district. Her three children have shared many adventures in the trucking industry and her son is now prime operator of the business. The children used to buckle up in the truck and, among many things, help deliver supplies to bush communities and wild horses to faraway places. And

Di still hasn’t lost interest. “These days, I’ll jump in the truck with my son sometimes and do a trip,” Di said. She also still does the harvest every year. Di’s first trip to Egypt was in 1965, and her vivid interest in Egypt has come after several more visits with friend, Julie Mawson, and from gaining Egyptian contacts and friends. Julie and Di took a group of people from the Adelaide Plains to Egypt last year, and are currently in the planning process to do the same in October this year. “It all flowed really well last year,” Di said. “Everybody was thrilled with the trip and had a really good time.” The trip aims to allow the group to see ‘Egypt as an Egyptian’, with Di and Julie’s local contacts helping a lot with touring the fascinating country. The 18-day journey covers the Pyramids of Giza, the Nile river, the Red Sea, tombs of the Valley of Kings and the Valley of Queens and a sunrise hot air balloon over the Sinai desert. “It’s exciting and fun dealing with Egyptian people, and they take us where tourists don’t usually go,” Di said. To keep busy when she is not off conquering the world, Di gets very involved with the community and contributes a lot of time and energy into the Adelaide Plains district. She runs yoga classes in Two Wells, has coached and played tennis in the region for years, volunteers at the Two Wells craft shop, belly dances and of course allows plenty of time to spend with her family. After a few encouraging comments, Di is currently in the thinking process of writing a book. • There are still places available for the trip to Egypt in October. For information call Maris Tours and Travel by contacting Julie on 0429673868 or Di on 042761630l.

August 4, 1929: Deafening whistles sounded as the first train to travel from Adelaide to Alice Springs departed at 10.15am before a huge crowd. The steam engine hauled 12 coaches, each weighing about 367 tonnes, and together carrying 64 first class and 60 second class passengers on the inaugural trip. Several left the train at Quorn to go on the East-West express. Until then, much of the transport in the area was performed by teams of camels. The final section of the railway line was completed just two days before the train departed Adelaide. The journey took three days, and at the time, the population of Alice Springs was about 100. 1930s: A weekly service was introduced as curious travellers made the adventure to the outback. New sleeping cars were built and an advertising campaign began. Second World War: Traffic increased significantly after the bombing of Darwin, with up to four trains a day in each direction as thousands of troops were moved north – some even travelling in converted cattle wagons. Thirty-two steam engines were borrowed from the South Australian Railways. 1948: New twin berth sleeping cars were introduced with more

NEWS FEATURE v Balaklava

local link to 80 years of train travel:

Lauren Parker discovers Balaklava has a special group of people who are part of one of the world’s great train journeys

or eight decades, the rail line from Adelaide and Alice Springs has been a vital

link. And as The Ghan celebrates 80 years, five Balaklava people have told of their connection with the iconic train. Bill Gordon worked on The Ghan from 1953 to 1990, working his way from washing silverware to numerous other roles. “I came in at the end of the steam era when they were just starting to bring in the diesel trains,” Bill said. He started his time on the railways at the age of 18, and had just come out of national service. “I was in the right place at the right time. “I started off washing knives and forks at meal times. “We’d serve 48 people in the dining room and they had seven pieces of silverware each.” From there, Bill did practically everything, including delivering cups of tea to travellers in the morning, which was quite daunting for an 18 year old just out of home. And while the older staff were keen to show you the ropes, they would only show you once. At the time Bill lived at Port Pirie for 55 years before moving to the Riverland, where he ran four houseboats, remaining there before retiring eventually to Balaklava. He said one of the best parts of his job was meeting different people, including renowned film star Chips Rafferty, to those who worked the vast cattle stations in the state’s north. Bill said he saw plenty of changes in his time with the railway. “It was a long time before they finally got around to putting air conditioning in the carriages,” he said. Retired train driver Peter Robbins is also well acquainted with the Ghan. He has seen plenty of sights along the line, including the Finke river in flood in 1997, when water flowed under the rail bridge at 80km/h. Then there was a dust storm in 1996 at Agers Rest, which was “as thick as a pea soup fog”.

Riding the rails into history

Bill Gooden serves meals on The Ghan.

BALAKLAVA’S Ghan clan (from left) Bill Gorden, Sam Harrison, Lee-anne McCracken, Ben Durdin and Peter Robbins. Mr Robbins has fond memories of many of the camps along the way, including the Kingoonya 425km peg. This was a big camp with a school, police station, pub, service station and racecourse, and was the first isolated camp to have a power station.

“I held the record for sculling a pint of beer here – four seconds – at the age of 17,” Mr Robbins said. There were camps that were little more than whistle stops, others outback towns, but with the coming of concrete sleepers and welded track all the camps slowly disappeared.

“Between the 555km quarry and Carnes we had a bloody big kangaroo jump over the loco on the Ghan one night,” Mr Robbins said. The Chandler 956km peg holds memories of more severe weather occasions. “Some of the biggest whirly winds I have ever seen

occur, and one of the heaviest hail storms I have been in was at Chandler,” Mr Robbins said. Then there was the time a hot air balloon landed by the track, its balloon coming to rest over the train which slowed to a stop when the balloon landed at the 1313km peg.

They’re part of The Ghan family Sam Harrison has worked for Great Southern Rail since 2000. While she wasn’t on the Ghan when it made its very first trip to Darwin, Sam had the excitement of being on board for its third trip to the Northern Territory capital, and travelled on trains for 7.5 years. “Being on the Ghan itself when it first went to Darwin was really good,” Sam said. She loved being surrounded by happy guests and hearing their stories. Sam submitted her resume at the urging of a technician she knew, and has held many positions with Great Southern Rail in the last nine years, from first class hospitality attendant to Gold Kangaroo manager, taking charge of the gold section of the train and overseeing staff. She has only recently come off the trains in the last year and into an office role. “It’s a different challenge and I miss the guests and some of the sights,” Sam admitted. She enjoyed working on the trains, where her office view was constantly changing.

Sam grew up at Melton on the Yorke Peninsula, moving to Balaklava when she was 13 and has only moved away from the town in the last year. Ben Durdin, also from Balaklava, worked on the Ghan for four years, including two years with Sam. He finished in his role as chef just weeks ago. Ben has plenty of good memories of his time on the Ghan and Indian Pacific, including meeting his fiance, Libby Petrie. “It’s very different to working in a normal kitchen,” Ben said. “The days off are really good, but when you’re working you start at 5am and finish at 11.30pm and have to feed the crew as well - and they’re more fussy than the guests!” But there are plenty of interesting sights along the journey, from bushfires all along the train line to rain that doesn’t seem to end. “We saw the flood water lapping the bottom of the railway bridge at Katherine - and Katherine is a very big bridge,” Ben said. Ben is now happy working days only for

his brother Nick, a Balaklava builder. For Lee-anne McCracken, her 17 months working with Great Southern Rail as a hospitality attendant have been a lot of fun. As well as travelling on the Ghan to Darwin, Lee-anne is part of the hospitality crew on regular trips to Sydney, Perth, and occasionally Melbourne. “It’s a great job,” she said. Lee-anne was working with the railway company full time, but has taken time off to work for Balaklava Racing Club in preparation for the Balaklava Cup on September 2. Her work often means six day trips working from 6am til 11pm, followed by five or six days off. Lee-anne admitted the long shifts were a little difficult to get used to at first, but the time off made up for it. But with about 18 crew on each trip, Leeanne said the people you worked with soon became family. And with about 300 passengers travelling each way, Lee-anne said her Ghan trips never went by without finding a Balaklava connec-

tion amongst the crowd. “If you tell someone you’re from Balaklava, every trip you find someone who has relatives at Balaklava or has come from here,” she said. And the best part of her job - the views. “I love the countryside and being up north, and that’s why the Ghan is my favourite trip,” Lee-anne said. She has even spent Christmas 2008 on the train, “It’s a bit sad being away from your family but the crew always have a good time,” she said. “We decorate the carriages and have a special Christmas lunch.” Then there is time for a few quick trips between work, including a helicopter trip over Katherine Gorge and the Sunday markets in Alice Springs. The bushfires at Katherine last year were also a memorable experience. “There were fires on either side of the train track and flames coming right up to the windows but we kept going,” Lee-anne said.

Saturday August 22. Competition: Presidents Trophy Rd 4. Sponsor: Lenard’s Poultry Salisbury. Players: 40 men + 2 Ladies. CCR: 43 The Windy conditions tested some on Saturday which was perhaps a test for next week’s third round of the Club Championships. A Grade was dominated by Vince Hatch with an impressive 73 off the wand and a superb 45 points no doubt sending shudders to those A Grade contenders in front of him. Robert Hogg continued to develop during the day with a solid 45 also unfortunately losing the count back to Vince. Simon Grigg finished third with a solid 44 point to take the bronze no doubt preparing for his next match play duel. A Grade contenders will need to watch Vince and those Griggs. They keep popping up everywhere wanting to fill the trophy cabinet. Smithy is in with a chance if he can repeat the form from recent weeks. B grade was taken by surprise with a sensational round of 47 points courtesy of Fred Jurgens. Fred no doubt tuning in for the next four ball round with me well done partner. Ian Clark who snuck back into B Grade was sent packing back to A Grade after his 46 points and my solid 43 points seemed to lack the game played during the day all in all after looking at Fred and Ian’s cards was a definite third not even looking close to winning on the day. One of the B Grade favorites faltered however a small setback for next week and still has a tidy lead to hold off the other contenders whom no doubt are all plotting to pounce should there be another collapse. Beware the old fox who has a cunning plan to strike in the next two rounds. C Grade won by Tim Clifton on a count back from Leon Zbierski on 43 points with Andrew Baker finishing 3rd with 41 points. Tim and Leon are looking in a good battle in the weeks to come with only the one

shot separating then after the two rounds played to date. Watch out for President Prior who is lurking under every tree, bush, nook and cranny waiting to pounce on those who falter. Finally the President’s Trophy for 2009 was won by Scott Abbott with 127 points narrowly from Simon Grigg 126 and an honorable mention to both Stuart Grigg and Fred Jurgens who finished 3rd with 125 points. The Match play between Buck and myself was a good solid round with both of us playing well not to mention the odd shot that went astray for both of us. Fortunately due to some solid putting on my behalf and a little help from dad on 15 with a chip in I survived to meet the one of the Grigg clan in the next round. As a reminder the current results for the Club Championships after two rounds in each Grade are; A Grade Gross: C. Girling 154, M. Launer 158, Stuart Grigg 159 and I Smith 160.

The third round will determine the genuine challengers, with some players to feel the pinch as their grips become a little sweaty and tight, each shot needing to be accurate to hold their competitors at bay.

Tennis Ladies winter

The showers were around the day before and the day after, but the skies cleared for a perfect day for the ladies grand final. Heidi Zerk’s Solos were facing Helen Barry’s Lemons in the big one, with Sascha Tiller getting the guernsey for injured Lemon Kim Eime. The first two sets were 5-3s going the Solos way. Heidi was trying to control her nerves as she’s played in two grand finals before and come second in both. However this time she had the gun in her team, Melissa Moulds, who was on fire! The young duo of Melissa and Kellie Harrison took the honours in their set together over the slightly older duo of Helen and the belly dancing guru, Di Meaney. Sascha and the tramline girl, Tess Mellow, were very unlucky to lose a long tiebreaker to Heidi and the box basher Julie Bigg, which gave the Solos the all important 4th set for the premiership! The last two sets saw the Solos going through the motions, taking both to give them a clean sweep 6-36 to 0-19. The top ladies set saw a large group of spectators gather to witness an excellent display of tennis, with Melissa and Heidi winning a marathon 9-7 tiebreaker over Helen and Sascha. Solos Kellie and Julie went for the jugular defeating Di and Tess with the last mentioned requiring the ice pack after being hit (accidentally of course) by Julie. Well done to both teams on a great final. The battle for second and third was very tightly contested with the ‘best captain in the world’ Helen Durdin’s Limes scraping through to defeat Pauline Hill’s Fantas 3-29 to 3-26. Three 5-3s and two 6-4s were played with the game difference being a good win to Helen and Valerie Carling 6-2 over Pauline and Narelle ‘bathplug’ Michael. Nice to see Phantomette Meriel Lane making a cameo apearance for the Limes and having a good workout against the ever improving Kerrie Bell. Fantas star Mary Connell and opponent Angela Battle had some excellent rallies in their very even tussle. Pauline and Helen showed no love lost in their sets with life in the old girls yet, playing like someone half their ages! Well done girls! Colleen Allen’s Cokes, sitting at fifth, took on Joy Ryan’s Pepsi’s, having a win 4-25 to 2-20. Usually playing for the Cokes, Joy wasn’t required for the final so was appropriately placed in their opposing team instead! Joy and Kerry Williams had a big win in the first set over Denby Wandel and Belinda May-Woidt. However their team-mates Abbie Tiller and Bec Dixon came second to Colleen and Bec Houston. With sets level, Denby and Bec H had a big win over Joy and Bec H, but at least the latter two saved their daks! Colleen and Belinda didn’t save theirs though, having to reveal their Bonds to Abbie and Kerry in a set they’d rather forget! Surprisingly the last two sets both went the Cokes way, with Denby and Colleen finally not being too worn out and winning their set together! Belinda saved her best ‘til last and was determined to finish the season on a high note, winning with Bec H. The match for the wooden spoon went down to the wire as all ladies were needing a new spoon! Shaz Pike’s Sprites took on Louise Michael’s Bitters in a rematch of last weeks game. Shaz and Mrs Consistent Lorraine Jenner took the first set over Louise and Trudy Redpath. The family pair of Di Taylor and Nikki Yates made very short work of Rae Winen and Sarah Kammermann, with the latter having to reveal the brief briefs after a dak dropper! Sarah’s nightmare continued in her next set with Shaz having to reveal the daks yet again, this time to Nikki and Louise. Rae redeemed herself with Lorraine and took their set toegther. So it was down to the last sets, with the Bitters just ahead on games. The two righthanders, Louise and Di, took their set over the two lefthanders in Rae and Shaz, but Sarah urged Lorraine to make sure they went out with a bang in their last set for the season. That they did, defeating Nikki and Trudy in a good set. Final score Bitters 3-25 defeated Sprites 3-21 in a very even match. Well done everyone and thanks to everyone who filled in during the season and on the final day. Thanks also to Di Meaney for her dancing at the presentation lunch. Please contact Louise by September 11 if you wish to play summer night tennis. See you next winter!

winter NIGHT

A perfect night saw the teams play their last minor round match of the season, with Courtney Daniel’s Yachts taking on Richard Goldney’s Ships. These two teams will face each other again next week in the grand final so we’ll see if the Ships can reverse the scoreline, as this time saw them come second 4-29 to 2-22. Three 5-3s were played with the Yachts taking two of those. Diane Gregor featured in one of those with partner Bec Houston, with Diane going on to win an excellent tiebreaker with Cherie Cleary. The tall Ship, Richard, had a great hit against Darryl Barkla, with both playing cat and mouse shots. Courtney and opponent Bec had some very consistent rallies, whilst Chris Daniel and Cherie placing their shots well. Yachts Peter Rohrlach left his ugg boots home this week and was ready to run, which was lucky as his opponent Diane made him do just that! However they both played some good shots in this close match. The other match played saw Tugs captain Lisa Redpath start well but then follow in some of her fellow winter nighters footsteps by pulling a muscle - in her elbow! The Tugs lost their first 2 sets to absent Lauren Parker’s Canoes, but Lisa unfortunately retired hurt. The Tugs rallied around to play their remaining sets with Shaun Northcott still managing to play 3 sets against opponent Jarek Flight. Their sets were so consistent that every set score was 6-2! Tugs Di Taylor and Kevyna battled hard too but they too could only manage set scores of 6-2s! Well done to the Canoes, with only one regular playing in David Northcott, on having a good hit regardless of the Tugs’ chaos! Thanks to Scott McDonald, Jarek and Leonie Selleck, who would’ve been a force to be reckoned with! Lisa and Scott were having very hard hitting rallies and we think it was Scott’s power that popped Lisa’s muscle!! Good luck to all teams in the grand final next week. The matches will be a carbon copy of these two, and we hope Lisa’s arm is better!

Women

Sevenhill came out fighting strong, as did Balaklava. It was a fight for third place on the premiership ladder – and what a fight it was. The wind dropped off and the sun made an appearance making it reasonably good conditions for a game of hockey. Hayley Chapman,Amber Greenshields, Mary Heslop, Roweena Tiller and Sharon Hill had the ground covered in the centre, working the ball well towards the forwards and out to the wings of Tania Heslop and Mandy Shepherd. Unfortunately only one goal was scored but Sevenhill goalie, Alex Cape, had her work cut out for her and she was kept busy defending. Sevenhill also had a number of chances, with two well played goals being scored, and another one that got over the line as Balaklava’s defence let down their guard for a moment. However Balaklava’s defence in Fiona Tiller, Tegan McPharlin, Renea Stewart, Fiona Chapman and Caitlyn Miller in goals foiled many of Sevenhill’s attempts to try and set up and score a goal. It was a reasonably even game with both sides attacking and defending the ball hard and trying not to give too much away. There was a great deal of back and forth play from one end of the pitch to the other, with a number of penalty corners awarded to both teams. Everyone worked extremely hard and continued to run even when they thought they couldn’t go much further. Unfortunately for the sevenhill side, Anita did her hamstring early in the game. We hope that her leg mends well this week ready for another go on Saturday in the finals. With the end of the minor rounds and the beginning of finals upon us, I would like to thank all those who wrote reports for the Produce during the season. It is great to be able to share our sport with the community. Also a big thankyou to everyone who helps out in anyway with the running of the club. – Roweena Tiller • Last week’s reports, page 25

Victory a tall order But Rams come back to defeat Magpies A grade

Virginia accounted for Mallala in a come-from-behind 10 point victory. It is the second time in a row that the Rams have emerged victorious, and again there wasn’t much in it. Virginia increase their winning margin from eight points last time. Dale McLean and William Farrelly both stepping up from Senior Colts to play in their first A grade game. The quality of the opposition meant the two youngsters could expect a hard day on the park. McLean, Farrelly and Kale Jamieson warmed the bench for Mallala at the start of play, with Chris Campbell, Michael Harding, and Mark Gillard doing likewise for Virginia. The first term turned out to be a low scoring struggle, basically becoming a battle of the half back lines. The ball going backwards and forwards between these two defensive lines most of the first term. Liam Whitwell broke the defensive dominance to put through the Pies first. Another goal by quarters end gave Mallala nine point lead. This was not looking like a high scoring game. Graham Rigney was one of many Virginia defenders in good touch early. Matthew Young another Ram to signal he was in for a good game. Ryan Montgomerie on fire for Mallala as was stand in centre half back Robert Montgomery, doing an excellent job on the dangerous Anton Gerardis. Brad Hardie picking up plenty of the ball, Daniel Jennings, and Matt Saunders having good opening quarters. There still wasn’t much

Virginia 10-10 (70) d Mallala 9-6 (60) in it but Mallala were looking okay against a goalless Virginia. Virginia kicked the first goal of the second term, but the reply from Jason Earl wasn’t long in coming. Virginia were playing well but Mallala still had the answers. A terrific smother off the boot by Sam Angus typified the desperation of the Mallala side. William Farrelly picking up some useful touches. Mallala increasing their lead to a handy 24 points at the long break. With just the one goal to their name at half time, Virginia needed a lot more from their forwards. Against a defence with a reputation for ‘mean’, Virginia looked to have their work cut out finding a clear path to goal. Nine of the 19 goals in the match were scored in the third quarter. The game opened up as players from both sides finally found a bit of freedom. To remain a chance Virginia simply had to score the first goal of the third quarter. Steve Papanotis duly obliged. Virginia quick to clear the ball out of the centre to an unguarded Papanotis who made no mistake. The goal seemed to lift the whole team, but didn’t concern Mallala all that much. Matthew Birchmore and Brian Montgomery added a goal each to increase the Mallala lead. Mallala had answered the Virginia challenge, at least for the moment. In spite of the hiccup with

two Mallala goals the Papanotis goal had given Virginia a bit of hope. When Anton Gerardis got his first this game was far from over. Jonno Wildbore carried off with what appeared to be an ankle injury his absence unbalancing the Mallala defence. But other players stepped up. Paul Blacket was playing well, Brian Montgomery a great one handed grab, Daniel Jennings a goal out of a congested pack. Anton Gerardis with a miracle goal from hard up against the boundary line. The Gerardis goal keeping Virginia in touch, but Mallala with a handy near three goal lead at the last break. Virginia had to kick four unanswered goals to win. A tall order considering it had taken them three quarters to kick six goals. But nobody told Virginia they faced a tall order to win. Again as it was in the third quarter, it was Steve Papanotis who kicked the first goal of the term. And again this goal really lifted Virginia. Less than two goals in arrears Virginia had kept persisting no matter what the scoreboard said. Papanotis was quite rightly jubilant as were all the Rams. Virginia had their tails up, the Rams wanting the ball more. Turnovers were proving costly for Mallala. Several times Graham Rigney must have said “thank you” as a misdirected kick fell into his arms. The flow of the game was

RAM Peter Mylonopoulos gives chase as Magpie Ryan Montgomerie prepares to handball away.

Rams give Magpies a football lesson! Virginia 9-13 (67) def Mallala 3-4 (22) reserves

Second placed Mallala were given a football lesson by Virginia the Rams triumphant by 45 points. The win, in theory, keeps Virginia’s finals hopes alive. Right from the word go, Virginia looked more positive, playing with a lot more desire and purpose. Mallala looked flat and were missing the run of a couple of players who’d been promoted to A grade. Mallala lacked cohesion, and some fairly average kicking meant turnovers were reasonably common. Virginia had made use of a handy two goal breeze. With the Ram’s defence rock solid, Mallala were made to work hard when it was their turn with the wind. The Pies just couldn’t capitalise on their opportunities due to the pressure from Virginia. Early in the third term, Virginia were leading 6.9 to 1.3. After the first, Mallala goal the Pies rarely looked like scoring until Ryan Russell belatedly got Mallala’s second deep in the third term – Virginia with winners aplenty. Trent Karutz was busy all over the ground. Either picking up touches in defence, or kicking goals, Karutz had a big game. Daryl Alderson was back to his best and the reliable David Fieldhouse was one

of four goal kickers to have two goals next to his name. Billy Nikou, Steve Lioulios and Karutz the others. Rocky Perre was busy around the midfield as was Paul Russo and Matthew Nykamp. Billy Nikou was elusive particularly when it came to kicking goals. George Stillisano in defence helped keep Mallala to a modest total. Not only were the Rams dominant in general field play winning most positions, but even luck was running their way. The seventh goal for the Rams somehow bounced through a congested goal square eluding all players. Mallala had Jase Morgan in a best on ground performance. Morgan is just about playing in career best form. Reece Kerr with yet another solid reliable effort in a year where he has regularly featured in the best players each week. Rhys Argent again put in a good effort once more picking up numerous skilful touches. Brett Tucker, Stuart Roberts, Ryan McGannon, Haydn Riley, and Ben Work had their moments. Overall a lacklustre effort from the home side in a game where, except for their first goal, they just didn’t seem up to the task on the day. Virginia running out deserving and comfortable winners.

MARK Cocchiaro, Virginia and Sam Angus, Mallala chase the ball to the boundary line during the A grade game on Saturday. all with Virginia. Anthony Johnston goaled and it was three points the lead to Mallala. Steve Papanotis was instrumental in setting up a pass to Anton Gerardis on his own in the goal square. Gerardis made no mistake and Virginia had hit the front for the first time in the match. Mallala’s few forward sorties only resulted in one solitary behind. Mallala had almost stopped to a walk as the Rams powered home. A ‘poster’ from Gerardis gave Virginia a four point lead. Mathew Young marked just before the siren sounded. His

after the siren goal giving Virginia a ten point win. Young was simply sensational for Virginia. The reigning Plains Producer medallist back to medal winning form, picking up a ‘ton’ of touches and not one wasted. Chris Musolino and Robert Desmond playing just about their best, if not their most important game this year. Ben Galic as usual was consistently good all day. Plenty of Rams stood up when the game was there to be won. Steve Papanotis ignited the Ram fight back with vital goals to start the third

and fourth quarters, and a hand in another. Anthony Johnston was at his classy best; Graham Rigney at full back became a ‘ball magnet’. Anthony Bascombe another to get plenty of the ball. For Mallala Ryan Montgomerie simply superb across half back as was Robert Montgomery. Jason Earl, Daniel Jennings, and Liam Whitwell leading by example. With several first pick players out, Mallala ensured the next time these two teams meet there should once again be little in the result.

Virginia a class above the Magpies Mallala need an upset next week to make finals Senior Colts

Virginia finetuned their finals preparations with an easy 69 point win over an undermanned Mallala. Only one game separated the teams on the ladder before the match, but the Rams soon showed they were several classes above their opponents. Virginia was in control from start to finish with only a three goal last quarter giving the Pies some respectability. Virginia’s goal kicking woes stretched from the first to the third terms where the Rams booted 2-7, 4-5, and 3-6 respectively. Only in the final quarter did the Rams put their kicking boots on. Mallala were in trouble at quarter time, and gone for all money by half time. Virginia had many quality players, none more so than Terry Lioulios. The creative playmaker in possibly his best game of the year, helping to set up numerous Virginia attacking moves. James Booth-Elliott continued on with his encouraging form this season, and Christopher Hirniak in another impressive performance. Reggie Young with his five goal haul was the best forward on the ground, closely followed by Grant Drew. Shaun Solomon continued his great year with yet another good four quarter effort. Mallala had Lewis Helps as their best, followed by Guy Brennan, Ben Martin and Karl Mohor. Ben Goudie and Russell Helps tried hard. Lewis Bruggeman with his two goals was the Pies’ only multiple goal kicker. William Farrelly scored one goal. Jonno Hallion and Lewis Helps rounded the scoring contributors for Mallala. Virginia guaranteed another finals appearance in senior colts. Mallala statistically can still make the major round, although it would take a near miracle to upset the unbeaten Peckers next week.

Junior Colts

Mallala 6-5 (41) defeated Virginia 3-4 (22). By Rick Graham Mallala won the toss, electing to kick to the southern end with the fairly strong breeze. Mallala controlled the ball for the first five minutes and got the first goal on the board through Adam Coe. Jake Birchmore gathered the ball at the next bounce and ran forward. His shot at goal unfortunately missed. Adam Drew was providing a great target for Virginia to kick too, and was taking some good marks. Tyson Penhill tackled hard for Virginia and just before the siren, Anton Pogas kicked a good running goal to give Virginia their first. Mallala, despite kicking into the breeze, had most of the play for the first five minutes of the second term, however could not trouble the scoreboard. Virginia lifted and after running the ball through the centre, marked strongly and goaled through Anthony Hansen. Mallala came out firing in the third term. Coach Hummell must have demanded a better effort from his boys at half time. Mallala attacked at every chance and goals followed to Dylan Kearns, Adam Coe, and Jake Birchmore kicked two for the term. Nick Seccafien tried hard in defence for Virginia. The last term began with Dylan Kearns putting Mallala further in front with a goal into the breeze. Virginia lifted and had the ball in their forward line for the remainder of the game, however could only manage one goal from Anthony Hansen, the final margin being 19 points to the home side. Best player for Mallala was Nick Goudie for his outstanding effort at running the ball out of defence. Jake Birchmore in another solid performance. Josh Watson for his attack at the ball, Ryan Konzag was solid at full back, and Adam Coe and Joey Hooper had many possessions. For Virginia, Adam Drew presented well and took many marks around the ground. Anton Pogas for his usual many possessions. Jake Hocking, Nick Seccafien and Josh Jones tried hard all game, and Anthony Hansen provided a focal point up forward.

JONNO Wildbore looks ready to take a mark for Mallala.

Eagles fight for finals spot Win over Roosters keeps Eagle hopes alive feeding the ball forward well. Willy Stansbury was again great as rover, but a much taller Shaun Light was dominating in ruck for the Eagles. It was dead even going into three quarter time, 9.8 to 9.8, setting up another nail biter. The Eagle height advantage and work of the skilful forwards was drawing the Roosters closer to defeat, with an Eagle break early in the last quarter. Joe Hunt booted six goals for the Eagles, while Wally Hand didn’t get enough opportunities down the Roosters end, with two in total. James Knapstein also played out a solid game in the mid field for the Eagles, as they pushed out to a five goal lead in the final term. Nathan Applebee was strong in Rooster defence and tackled hard at every opportunity. The Eagles had control of the game with the ball spending most of the time in their goal third. The final score was 15.13 (103) to 11.10 (76).

A grade

Hummocks-Watchman Eagles are still fighting for a finals spot after they skilfully defeated the Roosters by 27 points at Two Wells. Vying for an early comfort lead, the Roosters pushed themselves but the Eagles kept up and it was neck and neck until the final quarter. The first quarter was rough and both sides seemed to be scrambling for the ball at all costs. Joe Hunt got the Eagles on the board in the opening minutes with a set shot goal. A height advantage saw the Eagle’s gain a lot of the ball, and a good flow in the mid field was helping their overall game. The Roosters weren’t switched on, and the dynamics in the mid field were inconsistent, although still showed signs of talent. It was 3.4 to 3.2 going into quarter time. A solid defence was a credit to Two Wells, preventing many could-of-been goals, but the second quarter saw the Eagles get a two goal lead. Shaun Price and Jared Wilson were solid in the mid field for Eagles, while Andrew Hardiman was a force for the Roosters in centre half back. The Eagles did well in the second quarter, with the score standing at 7.7 to 5.3 their way at half time. The Roosters got back on track in the third term, with Lee Allmond and Scott Wise working hard and

A solid start saw the Roosters gain a three goal lead, with Michael Abdilla adding strength to their forward line. Ben Manners put in a solid effort in the Eagle defence, getting some good touches and marking well. The quarter time score showed a strong Rooster defence line, 3.4 to 0.1. Josh Taylor and Ben Cave kept the Eagle spirits alive, working the ball well and pushing their team mates. Mitch McKay booted a goal in the second term to get the Eagles on the board, but the Roosters booted another three to maintain the steady lead. It was 6.7 to 1.1 going into half time. The Rooster forward line needed readjusting at the start of the third term, with Steve Larrett retiring for the game with a pulled hamstring. But not without a two goal input. Tim Forrest pressured the Roosters, and helped secure another goal in the third term for Hummocks/Watchmen. Anthony Cavallaro booted four goals for the game, positioning the Roosters well going into the final term, 9.11 to 2.1. Another three goals to the Roosters gave the home side a significant lead in the final term, with Bryce Hart fast and effective through the mid field. Eagle Riley Koch had his opponent covered and put in a solid effort with good support from Josh Mahoney and Michael Curnow. The final score was 12.13 (85) to 3.5 (23).

Balaklava Golf Club champions Balaklava men

Last Saturday, on an occasion when too much golf was barely enough, we fronted hell-bent on contesting not only the Final (Stroke) Round of the Club Championship for 2009 and the prestigious Eddie Dennison Putting Trophy, but also the Nyowee Trophy. We were also joined by the ladies as they, in turn, went about sorting the wheat from the chaff and all this as the lead-up to the mighty Presentation Night. Suffice it to say that, in Club Championship terms, it came down to the fact that Bill Parkin won the A grade, Tate Michael prevailed in the B grade stakes and Andrew Manuel was just too good in the C grade bash – our hearty congratulations to those men. Accolades also for the hard-hitting Merv Hameister, who uses soft hands on the old putter. Merv needed just 87 putts over three 18 hole rounds, and so won the Eddie Dennison Putting Trophy. So now we can move in an orderly fashion to the affair know as the Nyowee Trophy which had in turn attracted a strong field of thirty hopefuls. In the A grade it was down to Ian Michael (83/70) to show the rest how it was done, as he headed off “Rotten Ron” Butterworth (84/71) who in turn knocked Merv Hameister (88/73) into third place. They were followed in by P Lamont (84/74), W Parkin (80/77), M Loy (94/82) and G “Emu” Ackland (101/87). From the massed ranks of the B grade hoard emerged that Skillies sheep-sexing sensation, big Barry Michael, clutching tightly in one great meat-plate his new golf ball and in the other his card, with the winning score (89/71). It was hard to tell which object gave the fella more joy, but certainly Tate Michael (90/72) in second place and Scott Michael (94/75) in third were pleased to have finished strongly. Rounding out the caper were G Anderson (98/76), D Trickett (97/77), D Rodgers (99/77), W Nagle (94/78), G Toms (99/79), J Michael (97/81) and J Curnow (101/83). Leading the C grade affair back to the 19th was a non-Nyowee Michael in the substantial form of young Callum (90/66), who was far too good for the fast-healing

Balaklava Men champions Captain Ian Michael congratulaes A grade golf champion Bill Parkin, B grade Tate Michael and Andrew Manuel C grade. Barry Thompson (100/70) and the readyrubbed Digby Addison (99/74). Hot on their heels came A Manuel (98/74), M Hahesy (111/75), N Mellows (123/77), A Henstridge (107/81), C Temby (119/83) and D Barkla (118/86). Dean Robinson entered another score towards his future handicap – the less said of it perhaps the better. Three juniors made their presence felt with Jordan Taylor (119/79) demolishing both Jake Michael (132/92) and Jordan Wilson (134/95). This was yet another weekend which we elected to keep Birdie free, but Nearest The Pin achievements were made by Peter Lamont on both the third and 17th, MervHameister on the 10th and Joan Anderson on the eighth. A few hours later these fine performances were duly acknowledged over a BBQ and salad nosh-up while we were

improvements as they mooch around the course – our thanks to the efforts of John Michael, Barry Thompson, Trevor Reid, Gerry Toms, Mark Loy, Merv Hameister, Barry Taylor, Jordan Taylor, Jordan Wilson, Scott, Ben and Callum Michael. All this activity was observed actively by Austin Henstridge.

Hamley misses out on top four Hamley Bridge v Balaklava

Hamley Bridge and Balaklava had a close game, resulting in a 24 all draw. Both teams started the game erratically, eventually calming down and getting into a tight physical game, which was entertaining for spectators, but frustrating for the girls. For Balak it was another tough week, having many of their key players unable to play due to injuries and sickness. Both of Balak’s shooters were out – Eliza Cottle GA nursing a back injury and GS Jenna Koch a virus. Carly Gregor was placed into GA and Jane Harding was brought up from A2’s and placed in GS. Tara Baldwin was also unwell and unable to play her usual WD, however GD Michelle Williams and GK Chelsea Koch were strong drivers with the ball, utilising the goal circle and blocking Hamley’s passes. Despite Balak’s attack line not being there, the defenders dominated through mid court, driving the ball with precision. “It was an adventure”, said Balaklava coach Craig Cox. “We’re hoping that everyone is back next week.” Hamley’s goalies had trouble shooting due to the wind, though GS Tanya Harvey and GA Sarah Koch kept pushing the ball up. Brianna Wedding was still out due to her knee injury, but will hopefully be healed for the last game of the season before finals. Both centres – Gaynor Tink (Balaklava) and Ashliegh Kock (HB), had a very heated competition between them, with a physical fight for possession. Both teams walked off court with a sense of disappointment at concluding the game with a draw. “It wasn’t too bad to come away with a draw, considering the circumstances”, Craig commented. While Hamley’s team manager Kelly Buckby said, “The girls were pretty disappointed, we needed to win the game to gain the two points to get into the top four.” Best for Balaklava was Michelle Williams and Alison Schahinger took best for Hamley.

Mallala v Virginia

Mallala destroyed Virginia, 67 – 19. A good strong win for Mallala, the girls giving it their all, applying a lot of pressure and taking advantage of opportunities at the ball on court. Mallala C Clare Bruggermann made some great intercepts, with Diana Franks WA and Penny Matthew WD both working hard in mid court. GA Danni McGannon shot well, and kept her shooting at a consistent level. There was heated pressure from Jayne Brown and Midge May in Virginia’s goal circle, the Mallala girls not giving Virginia much chance of scoring. Despite the 48 goal lead, Mallala didn’t make it to the top four on the APNA premiership table due to losing some close games against Long Plains and Hamley Bridge. Though Mallala coach Leeanne Work encouraged, “Were going out fighting next Saturday against Balaklava. We will be going out on a good note.” Virginia’s best player was Sophie Larcombe and Penny Matthew took best for Mallala.

Hummocks v Two Wells

Hummocks had a strong game, starting and finished well, ending with a six goal lead against Two Wells, 38 – 33. Both teams came out fighting, sticking to a fast paced game. Hummocks already had the ball in their control in the first quarter, making many turnovers and converting them to gaols. GA Bonnie Nicholls shot accurately, heightening Hummocks’ score to an early six goal lead. Two Wells tried to apply pressure on Hummocks, though Hummocks were able to make clear intercepts and worked past the Wells girls’ tactics, leaving Two Wells behind on three goals, while Hummocks sat on 11 goals at end the first quarter. Two Wells had position changes in the second quarter, shifting Cassie Lange into GA and Wendy Salter into GS. Both girls worked well together with the help from defenders Amy Roberts and Jamie-Lee Fitzgerald, getting back a few of their missing goals. Hummocks’ Beth Germein in GD applied a lot of pressure in the goal circle, though Two Wells’ Cassie Lange worked to gain possession and shot well. Two Wells made a quick come back, even with Hummocks C Sarah Young making intercepts against Two Wells, the Wells girls were one goal short at the end of the second quarter, 16 – 15. It was a goal for goal quarter coming into third term. Two Wells’ Cassie Lange kept her accurate shooting at hand, moving well around the goal circle for opportunities. Hummocks scored the last goal of the quarter, again leaving them one up from Two Wells, 26 – 25. The Hummocks girls came booming into the last quarter, determined as anything, and gaining an early lead. The girls created an attack line, which worked at a consistent level. Hummocks’ C Sarah Young and WA Alexa Jones worked well to drive the ball to the goal ring, their team reaping the rewards and claiming the win from Two Wells. Best for Two Wells was Amy Roberts and Sarah Young for Hummocks.

sport v District

Knockout final decider at Lochiel HWE v United (at Lochiel)

So we arrive at the last minor round fixture of season 2009 – for the second time in three seasons of APFL football, the final spot in the four will not be decided until 5pm on the last Saturday in August. Thanks to a surge up the ladder from the APFL’s two most Southern clubs (Virginia and Two Wells), it is two perennial finalists in HWE and United who are left fighting it out at the death knock of season 2009 for that fourth and final place in this year’s major round! The Eagles and Tigers are currently deadlocked equal on premiership points after eighteen rounds of football with just 0.96 separating them on percentage. And so the equation is simple – the winner will finish in fourth place and be playing (against Two Wells) in this year’s knockout first semi final on Sunday September 6, while the loser will pack up their kit bag on Saturday and set about washing their Guernseys for the last time in 2009. There is certainly plenty on the line in Saturday’s match! Certainly the loser of this weeks match will suffer some embarrassment as we know the pride of these two clubs rides very high in APFL football. The HWE are of course the reigning premier of 2008, have competed in every finals series in the last decade and have won five of the last eight premierships on offer. To lose this week and finish outside the top four in a year when they are defending a premiership crown will certainly cut deep for a group that prides itself on controlling, and if not, at least having a large say in each and every contest they participate in. In the other camp United also pride themselves on being a powerhouse of the APFL - having only missed the finals twice in the last sixteen seasons! The Tigers have played in nine Grand Finals and three Prelim Finals in that time and although ultimate success has often evaded the Tigers (with just two Premierships coming in that time), with the Tigers being so often around the mark in these years if not “the side to beat” in many of them, it would certainly also cut them deeply if they were to miss the finals this year! Both sides know their best is probably good enough and if they can make it through they will be rating themselves to make an impact in September. Although the Magpies, Rams and Roosters will have much to say about whether this is true, with the Eagles defeating all sides bar Mallala this season, along with having a stellar finals record and much experience they would be thinking a win this week against the Tigers followed by a re-match with Two Wells the following week (who they defeated at the weekend) in the first final on home soil could bear much fruit. Rumour suggests live wire Eagle forward Sam Jericho, who moved to Alice Springs six weeks ago will return to play if the Eagles make this year’s major round. The Tigers, despite not getting over the Rams as yet in season 2009, have only narrowly gone down to the Roosters in both outings and they have

Kiss Of Death United by 1 pt Mallala by 18 pt Virginia by 55 pts also beaten the top of the table Magpies showing their best may also be good enough. With many experienced players in their side they too would be thinking that they can make an impact in the finals against some finals sides that have not yet played together in September! Forwards Joe Hunt and Sam McArdle loom as the game breakers this weekend. They will both have fellow forwards to assist in the goal kicking department with the Eagles boasting the likes of Daniel Thomas and Shane Braham who will influence the forward half as well as the midfield. Tigers Jamie McArdle and Tom Guerin too are capable of kicking plenty of goals. As is often the case the battle between the Eagle and Tiger midfields will be one to watch, while each side has an experienced and settled defence! Both have lost more games than they have won this season – although the winner this week will square the ledger. Finals effectively start this week for these two sides. With the ledger square between these sides and just seven points separating them last time they met this will be a beauty! Last Time they met: July 11, United 12.12 (84) d HWE 11.11 (77) at Long Plains.

Balaklava v Mallala

This week’s clash between Balaklava and Mallala gives Mallala a chance to get back in the winners circle before their Second Semi finals clash against the Rams at the same venue the following week. Mallala last week went down to Virginia at home so they will be desperate to win this one and take some winning form into their re-match with the Rams. Balaklava on the other hand will be playing for pride and despite having their finals dream shattered in the month of August they can still take a lot of heart and many positives out of a good showing against Mallala. Although it may mean little, a win this week can elevate the Peckers to equal points with the loser of the HWE v United clash, meaning despite finishing the season outside the four statistics will show the

TIGER Adam Mansfield chases the ball in front of his Eagle opponent during the July 11 A grade game at Long Plains. Peckers weren’t far away. Despite Balaklava opting for an experienced line up as the season heated up in August last week the Peckers played a few younger players in their win at Hamley Bridge. Jared Cmrlec’s five goals rewarded the selectors who no doubt have an eye on the future at Peckerland as the season comes to a close. This week’s match provides yet another chance for a few of the young guns to shine as well as test themselves against the league leaders. Balaklava did push the Magpies earlier in the season although last time they met, Mallala were red hot. Mallala’s hiccup last week against Virginia suggests they are far from full strength so the door is open for Balaklava if they want to make one last statement in season 2009! Last Time they met: July 11, Mallala 16.10 (106) d Balaklava 4.10 (34) at Mallala.

Virginia v Hamley Bridge

How the fortunes of football clubs can turn around! In this corresponding fixture in recent seasons the build up would have surrounded just who would win this match and just whether the Bombers could climb off the bottom of the table with a win against the sixth placed Rams. In stark contrast this season the Bombers are winless and rooted to the bottom of the table while the Rams are destined for great things with a seat already booked in this year’s Second Semi Final and shot at advancing straight through to the big one looming in coming weeks.

No doubt for every ounce of excitement that season 2009 has delivered for the Rams it has been every bit disappointing for the Bombers who this Saturday will collect their third wooden spoon in as many attempts. The season looked bright for Hamley Bridge early on and certainly pre-season there was a buzz around the Bomber camp as they looked set to move out of seventh place and eyed off a turning of the tide – setting themselves to win five games off the back of some positive recruiting and the fact many young Bombers were another year older. No doubt the improvement of this week’s opponent Virginia in season 2009 created a gap between the Bombers best and the rest of the competition and with all other sides being genuine finals contenders in 2009 the Bombers have been left rooted to the bottom from go to wo! Nevertheless there has been some positives for Hamley Bridge. Youngsters Jed Eastwood, Angus Lemmon, Luke Wedding have all been excellent in regards to their development. Justin Schahinger has played out of sight in the second half of this season while Ben Case, James Frencken, Lachlin O’Niell and Scott Rademacher have all had a taste of A Grade football and should become regulars in years to come. It is hard to see the Bombers getting close to the second placed Rams this week, however with nothing to lose and five months off no doubt they will be giving it their all! Last Time they met: July 11, Virginia 25.19 (169) d Hamley Bridge 3.8 (26) at Hamley Bridge.

It’s down to the wire! • From Back Page Despite being goal-less in the first term and having just 1.4 to their name at half time, the Rams defied the odds against the Magpies, putting on a ‘second half show’ booting nine goals to Mallala’s four to win the match by ten points. It is now the second time this season (and second in a row) that Virginia have toppled premiership favourites Mallala! Although it can be noted that Mallala did have a few first choice players out and played with up to four newly promoted players from the Reserves. Nevertheless the Rams were super impressive securing a result that will be certain to have many people salivating ahead of the upcoming re-match of these two sides in this year’s Second Semi Final. Former Central District player and Virginia native Steven Papanotis was the Rams catalyst kicking three second half goals which individually lifted the Rams spirits. Two in the third term kept his side in the match while his third at the start of the final quarter provided the spark that really got the Rams going. From that moment Virginia believed they were still a chance and despite trailing by 17 points at three quarter time powered home in the last to snatch defeat while keeping the Magpies goal less after three quarter time. Other solid Rams performers included skipper and 2008 Plains Producer Medallist Matthew Young, former CDFC and Virginia native Chris Musolino, Robbie Desmond, Ben Galic, Anthony Johnston and Graham Rigney who amassed plenty of possessions in his half back/quarter back role. For the Magpies who will no doubt look to fine tune their side ahead of the upcoming major round, Ryan Montgomerie was their best along with consistent performer Brad Hardie, running defender Daniel Jennings and co-captain Jason Earl who recently returned from injury. Defender Robert Montgomery who stood in a key post at Centre Half Back played well as did co-captain Liam Whitwell. With Mallala set to finish the season as minor premier and the ratio against the

Rams standing at 1-2 all eyes will be on this year’s Second Semi at Balaklava on September 5!

Eagles won’t go away!

Meanwhile at Two Wells the Hummocks Watchman Eagles upset the third placed Two Wells Roosters to keep their 2009 premiership defence alive. Despite not registering a win against the Roosters yet this season with it all to play for needing to win to stay alive the fifth placed Eagles did what they had to do, defeating the finals bound Roosters by 27 points – and grabbing fourth place from the Tigers (who had the bye) on percentage. In what was an extremely even contest between the Eagles and Roosters the match was anyone’s right up until three quarter time when the scores were locked up at 9.8 a piece. However, the reigning premier found another gear when it counted in the final term – grabbing the game by the scruff of the neck and booting six goals and five behinds to the Roosters two goals and two behinds in a dominant display. For the Eagles Sean Light was again sensational in the ruck. Shaun Price returned to the side and was solid in his big man role, James Knappstein was again good along with Lee Belperio, Dustin Guthberg and Matthew Higgs. Joe Hunt continued his stellar form up forward kicking six goals for the Eagles while Daniel Thomas booted three. For the Roosters Scott Wise was their leading goal kicker with four goals while Aaron “Wally” Hand who leads the APFL goal kickers by 10 goals only managed two in this match. The Roosters better players were Andrew Hardiman, LeeAllmond, Wise, Willy Sansbury, Ned Seccafien and Nathan Applebee. This match result has made the Eagles 2009 equation very simple - the winner of this coming week’s clash between the Eagles and Tigers at Lochiel will take part

in this year’s finals series. The victor will match up against the Roosters on Father’s Day – Sunday September 6th at Lochiel. Although the result was disappointing for the Roosters they will now have a weeks rest ahead of their finals match up against either HWE or United who are set for a bruising contest this weekend.

Bombers push Balak

In the final game of the round at Hamley Bridge, the Bombers put up a good fight against Balaklava despite the Peckers running out 37 point winners. Although Balaklava took the early ascendancy and led by 34 points at half time, the Bombers stayed with their more fancied opponents throughout the second half with each team adding seven second half goals. Highlights of the match included six goals from Hamley’s Alex Rademacher, and five goals from Peckers youngster Jared Cmrlec. Rademacher has been playing up forward for the Bombers for much of this season, and this six goal haul is somewhat of a reward for hard work that had previously been unrewarded. Cmrlec on the other hand played reserves last week against United, and his promotion this week was capped off with his best return yet. Brady Scott, Jonathon Evans and Jonathon Brice all featured high amongst Balaklava’s best players and each kicked three goals, while Justin Michael, Hayden Walker and Cmrlec were also judged Balaklava’s best. For the Bombers, Justin Schahinger continued his outstanding form after returning home from Woodville West Torrens in the pre-season. Rademacher, Jed Eastwood, playing coach Ben Burgess, Tom Smith and Todd Mackareth also played well. Interestingly it was just the second time this season that all “away” sides won on the same weekend.

Get that service now! Fingers are crossed the rains continue and carry into vital spring rains. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to start thinking about servicing equipment. Some farmers have put off major services over the last few lean years, which means their on-farm equipment could be looking tired and in need of work. The crew in the service department at Vaters is ready to take your call and book in your machinery. We have recently increased capacity in our service department and have a new fully qualified technician giving us the ability to do much more servicing work. As well as undertaking general repairs to most machines we have specialised expertise with large square balers, construction machines, Massey Ferguson, and AGCO Machines. Good deals are available on EZ-Steer, EZ Guide assisted steering system â&#x20AC;&#x201C; speak to Brian or Greg about the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investment allowance â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you may be eligible by combining a couple of purchases. Also, New Holland continues to offer its deal for the 2010 season and is celebrating its longevity in the twin rotor combine market. Farmers purchasing a new combine harvester are given a trip to the United States to complete some owner training at the New Holland plant in Nebraska.

The U17’s were a bit short, asking some U14’s to hang around and play. Thank you to all these players. Balaklava was prepared for a tough game. The U17’s were quick off the mark, with Matt Gates in the centre, Samuel

Men

Balaklava started the game fairly quickly. Once both teams settled down a bit, the game was excellent to watch with both teams having a lot of opportunities at goal, but unfortunately missing. The first half seemed to go by very quickly with neither team scoring. The second half was much the same, with Trent in the centre closely supported by Pete Shepherd, Pete McMillan and Matt Gates, who all tried to get to the circle to score but with Donnybrook’s good defence, couldn’t seem to finish off. Both teams still scoreless.

Louise Michael came out of her so called ‘retirement’ to play at a home game. There were also U17 girls who filled in. Balaklava played Springstown, who are always a pleasure to play, but this is far from meaning that they are a push over. Balaklava started the game with Renae Stewart in centre forward – a position she doesn’t normally play. A lot of players that day were in positions that they weren’t sure of but they did well. Balaklava had some good breaks from the centre line, and were finally awarded a short corner which was hit out by Tamara Gates, who hit to Fiona B Tiller who took it just inside the circle and had a shot Springstown’s defence tried to stop it but it actually came off one of their sticks and deflected into the goals for a Balaklava score. The excitement was short lived with Springstown able to get past Balaklava’s defence and even up the score. Renae played on from the centre pass and went for a run. She was about to enter the circle after getting past one defender and the umpire blew the half time whistle. The ladies started the second half quickly to keep moving. The second half started off like the first with some good breaks from both teams from free hits, Until Balaklava got a very lucky break and went for a run, being lucky enough to get a shot of from the top of the circle. This missed the goal but Brittny got a stick to it and scored, putting Balaklava up by one goal. Springstown weren’t able to get the goal back, and Balaklava ended up with a win. Thank you to all who filled in – it was really appreciated and it was great to have some young legs!

Donnybrook got a good break from the centre, with a couple of passes to the top of the D and shot for goal to be lucky enough to get past Balaklava’s goalie James Napper. It was quickly followed up by another goal by Donnybrook to make the score two nil, and Balaklava weren’t able to score the rest of the game. Balaklava had a very strong defence and kept Donny Brook from scoring anymore goal the rest of the second half. This was Balaklava first defeat. Bad luck guys!

Tiller at inner, who luckily received the ball from Matt. Pete McMillan started off in full back with Josh Chapman as his back up. Matt went for a run, with the support of Samuel, into the circle, Brittny and Rhea close in tow on the wing ready to try and stop a big hit from one of the boys. They got awarded a short corner but weren’t lucky enough to finish it off, the 16 hit for Donnybrook was strong and flat, going straight to their player. But luck wasn’t in their favour with Josh coming out from full back to snatch the ball and go for a bit of a run until he was clear. He had a quick look up to find Matt in the centre ready to receive the ball. Matt went for a run with his sister Tamara close by for back up. Matt finally switched to Samuel and Samuel had a shot at goal but was not able to finish. Britny was there ready but struggled to see the ball with all the strong defence of Donnybrook and their very good goalie, who knew where everybody was. Balaklava again was unlucky in their shots until Pete McMillan was put back into the forward line to give some of the others a bit of a rest. Pete took the ball for a run with young Bryce sitting inside the circle waiting to receive. The ball came through to Bryce who finally scored. A pep talk from coach Trent Stewart before the second half seemed to encourage extra energy, with the ball going to the goal circle a lot before Pete McMillan received at the top of the circle, wound up and hit for goal and scored. A beautiful shot. With it being shared around the circle and goal scorers not being too greedy, Balaklava came away with a really good win at the end of the game.

The U14’s started with a young bench. But that didn’t stop them from playing a really good game. Without Natasha Greenshields they all stepped up to the plate and had many opportunities in the first half with Bryce Chapman shooting from the top of the circle with some unlucky misses. There were a lot of good breaks from the centre, and when Donnybrook went for a run, the strong Balaklava back line was quick to stop their attempts at goals. It was now first timer Jess who was able to have her first run on the field – she was a bit unsure but soon got into it when the ball came straight for her. However Donnybrook was lucky enough to stop her just outside the circle and clear it. Then when Jess was tired, young Tyson Stewart – playing his fourth game for the season – took the field, Balaklava had a good clear from the centre line and went for a run. Balaklava missed out on another goal. At the end of the first half, coach James Napper had nothing but praise for his young side. The second half started with the same line up. Heath in the centre hit to his centre half and off Balaklava went to the goal circle, a hit from just outside the circle met the stick of the wing and Balaklava goaled. This was quickly followed by another goal in the second half. Balaklava played well all game and never once gave up. Donnybrook had very strong defence and tried their best. Donnybrook’s goalie did an exceptional job. A big thank you to all of the U14’s for their support of the young first timers. They have all taken the young ones under their wings with lots of encouragement in training and at games.

Down to the wire Eagles and Tigers in final four decider at Lochiel What a round of local footy it was last Saturday – and what a round it will be this Saturday, when the final four finally will be decided. At Two Wells, Hummocks Watchman Eagles upset third placed Two Wells Roosters to keep their premiership defence alive.Despite not registering a win against the Roosters so

had to do, defeating the finals bound Roosters by 27 points – and grabbing fourth place from the Tigers (who had the bye) on percentage. Up the road at Mallala, Virginia came from behind to record a character-building 10 point win over the Magpies in the weekend’s top of the table clash.

APFL FOOTBALL IN REVIEW

My Call

far this season, but needing a victory to stay alive, the fifth placed Eagles did what they

Mallala now sits on top of the ladder, one win clear of Virginia, with Two Wells a game behind the Rams in third spot. The Eagles are now in the final four, equal on wins (seven) with United. It will be a do-or-die final round on Saturday, when United and the Eagles clash at Lochiel. • Continued Page 23

Communities influence Robertstown move

n ROOSTER Nathan Applebee leads Eagle Shane Braham in a dash for the ball – but the Eagles led on the scoreboard.

The long-awaited decision of Robertstown football club to join the Adelaide Plains Football League hinges on club and community support of a possible merger between Robertstown and Eudunda football clubs. If a merger between the two clubs transpires, it is most likely the united club will remain in Eudunda’s current league – the North Eastern Football League. However, if Robertstown follows its initial instinct of continuing as an independent club, they will reconsider leaving the Mid-Murray League and joining the APFL. But any

By Bronte Hewett merger is seen as more than just a decision within the two football clubs. Its importance will involve support of both the Robertstown and Eudunda communities. Committee members from both clubs met last week to discuss the merger and after Eudunda members make a decision, it will be put to the wider Eudunda community in a vote. This community meeting is scheduled

for next Friday, September 4. If the merger is supported by the club members and the Eudunda community, Robertstown then will hold a community meeting to decide between joining the Adelaide Plains League or the Eudunda club. APFL President, Brad Busch, said the Robertstown club was still very keen on joining the APFL. “It definitely hasn’t been ruled out. The majority think the APFL is the way to go,” Mr Busch said. The future of Robertstown should be known in about a month.
