Farmer Matt Tiller lives to tell of his electrocution – and his rescue by brothers Shane and Jamie

Survivor! ‘

By Terry Williams

There was a ‘bang’ and it felt my body had been blown in half

’

That is how Balaklava farmer Matt Tiller described the sensation of being electrocuted when on top of a grain storage silo.

Matt, who became a father only two weeks ago, was knocked unconscious when a metal pipe he was holding possibly touched an overhead powerline – or the electricity arced.

He was fumigating a silo on the Balaklava to Salter Springs road about 6.30 last Wednesday evening. The silo was not on Tiller’s property, but the family had an agreement with a piggery operator to use the silos to store grain.

The power line is estimated to be about four metres above the silo.

It is not yet clear exactly what occurred and the Plains Producer was told ETSA and Safework SA are investigating.

Thousands of volts of electricity surged through Matt’s body and he came

“It felt like I had been blown in half,” said Matt yesterday from his bed in Royal Adelaide Hospital’s burns unit.

“At first, I couldn’t feel anything – but then it felt like my legs were up behind my ears.

“Then I realised I was on top of the silo, with my hands hanging over the edge. n Continued Page 4

Plenty to see right here in our own backyard

I

have to admit I’m guilty. When it comes to planning a day trip or a quick weekend away, I always think outside our area.

So now I’m setting a challenge for myself – look around my own backyard a little more.

There’s so much to see and do Lauren when you think about it.

Plenty of my memories as a kid Parker involve picnics at the Rocks Reserve east of Balaklava, fishing at Port Parham, digging for worms in the seaweed. lauren@plainsproducer.com.au On the recent long weekend, my sister and I jumped in the car and ity!

MY VIEW

were more than a little surprised when we admitted we had never been there.

The permanent waterhole is great for wandering around or simply relaxing in the shade by the river.

For the Curnows, visiting the Rockies is a fairly regular occurrence.

Which made me think of family picnics at the Rocks Reserve with my cousins, dangling strings from rocks to try and catch yabbies.

I don’t think I ever caught one!

Besides, there was exploring to do upstream.

Occasionally we were allowed to swim, although most of the time we wandered up and down the riverbed skimming rocks – or in my case, getting frustrated because I just couldn’t get it to work.

All good fun. But as we got older, sport took priority on weekends and the trips to Parham or the Rocks slowly petered out.

But over the last few months, I’ve headed back to some of these places.

Driving around Port Parham and Webb Beach sparked plenty of memories of getting covered in seaweed in search of worms, catching yellowfin whiting, and jumping and moving on very quickly when a crab tried to latch onto my toe.

And since I started working here at the Producer, there are plenty more hidden treasures I’ve discovered.

Like the Mallala museum.

I had never been into museums, but I could have stayed for a few hours looking around, reading about some of the families of the

district and giggling at the old Long Plains school photos of plenty of my relatives – and recognising the mischievous grins of a few others too.

Then there’s the Clare Valley just a stone’s throw away, and Port Gawler with its abundance of birdlife.

Or just take a drive on roads you haven’t travelled before and see what’s hiding off the main road.

There’s no better time for it, so head out this weekend and see what you can find in your backyard! o What are some of our best treasures on the Adelaide Plains?

Letters to the EDITOR

Council responds to planning criticism

C

ouncil welcomes public comment on local issues or decisions, as has occurred in various letters to the Plains Producer (16/9/09 and 23/9/09) on current court action involving a development application assessment appeal in the Primary Industry zone.

However, for accuracy of such public debate, it is imperative comments or statements are based on facts, not misleading or inaccuracies.

Mr Barrie Thompson’s statements, (the Plains Producer, September 16, October 8) whilst misleading and inaccurate, highlight that special circumstances do exist in any form of development planning within the guidelines of a council development plan. In our Residential zones one only has to look at the flexibility to permit a retirement village (Hayfield Plains, Balaklava), community title housing development (Gateway Estate, Port Wakefield) and individual registered land management agreement for a future house size (8 allotments of 87 total allotments at Wattle Ridge Estate, Balaklava), all of which are in a Residential zone.

But then, whilst not in a Residential zone, Council nor officers are aware of “12 house blocks” he states proposed in the past by Balaklava Golf Club although club officials have spoken to officers in recent years on the concept of tourism accommodation.

Such developments come at a significant project cost due to new service infrastructure (e.g. mains water, electricity, internal roadways etc) therefore the biggest challenge for the club or developer is to make such a concept financially viable in a sustainable state government planning environment.

An open letter to residents of Wakefield Regional Council The “200 houses are proposed” at the golf course, whilst not necessarily accurate in number, is again another one of the concepts being publicly raised this time by an interested developer but a formal plan has yet to be forthcoming to Council officers or local development assessment panel. Mr Ray Bennett’s statements (the Plains Producer, September 23) highlight the flexibility allowed under development in a Primary Industry zone as long as the impact is deemed minor.

He provides excellent examples of such cases and in all cases accurately points out the importance of close proximity to existing house for orderly planning. Whilst lacking understanding in land use planning principles and critical of Council over supposedly denying “another house in our area”, nevertheless Mr Bennett does provide evidence of where Council through its planning system and processing has, and does, give planning approval when of a minor nature in the Primary Industry zone.

“Why now” has therefore been selfanswered by Mr Bennett as Mr Evans was encouraged to do likewise and the Plains Producer Editor’s My View of 12/8/09 coincidentally highlighted the conflicts that readily arise when residential housing development

in Primary Industry zone do not effectively occur. Also, substantial research already exists which is why state government’s Planning SA and councils approach land use planning very seriously, as it is not the short term issues but the long term implications and problems which arise that become major concerns for other landowners and residents.

Refer Planning SA’s website www. planning.sa.gov.au including the various development plan framework and detail required of councils in SA. Such information is a topic the Plains Producer may consider reporting on in the future despite public interest generally only arising when it directly affects them personally.

Readers of the Plains Producer (September 23) may recollect Mr Peter Rann’s previous communications critical of Council and certain staff. It is fortunate that SA has existing systems of investigation and review.

As Mr Rann well knows, the State Ombudsman is one such appropriate review authority. Others include the local government minister, the district court, and SA Police Anti-Corruption Branch etc. All of which come at a cost to the taxpayer but if Mr Rann wishes there to be another authority in the form of an Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC),

it is the cost of such duplication that the Local Government Association of SA on behalf of councils objects.

The cost to operate an ICAC authority based on interstate examples is reportedly to be $30m annually (refer The Sunday Mail 4/10/09 page 7). Therefore it is ironical that Mr Rann comments on wasting ratepayer money when he is suggesting likewise for the taxpayer.

Further, Mr Rann well knows through his interest in Council’s business of the openness and transparency of activities and decisions to the extent of public criticising the length of council meetings.

No confidential items occurred in 2008/09 despite recent Adelaide media publicity about metro councils meeting “in secret” on numerous occasions, which itself is quite appropriate on certain agenda items (e.g. provision of legal advice).

On the matter of Council’s finances which occasionally receives public comment including the current planning legal action debate, whilst it is correct reporting on Council’s current level of operating deficit (i.e. in 2007/08 an audited operating deficit $442,000), it should also be noted that in the same annual reporting period Council achieved an audited net surplus $409,000. Main reason for the

“deficit” level is because of financial reporting changes to councils in SA in early 2000.

Councils are required to accurately account for depreciation, amortisation and impairment expense in annual operating statements and for Council in 2007/08 that expense amount was $3,261,000 or 35.7 per cent of overall operating expense.

This is primarily due to the extensive road network and community buildings on Council land, the latter structures often built by clubs and groups from own fundraising and external grant sources.

Prior to the new but appropriate accrual accounting system, Council’s annual provision for depreciation was, as an example in 1997/98 being WRC’s first year of operation, only $758,000 or 14.3 per cent of total operating expense.

That is the main reason for the current annual operating deficit reporting (along with many other councils for same reason) and can be a misleading indicator in its own right without taking into consideration other key indicators including overall net operating surplus.

If anything since that first year, the number of assets has reduced by Council as part of justifiable asset rationalisation within the industry of surplus or under-utilised assets in order to reduce pressure on the annual ratepayer dollar.

Rest assured, Council’s long term financial planning has set financial performance targets. But with such large asset levels servicing a small resident population and rate base, costs are an ongoing key challenge.

Signed James Maitland, Mayor and Phil Barry, CEO, Wakefield Regional Council.

Balaklava Area Committee defends role At the Annual General Meeting of Balaklava Area Committee, held last Wednesday, it was decided to respond to criticisms levelled at the committee through an article in the Plains Producer, “Councillors take aim at Balaklava Area Committee” (Page 7, Wednesday September 30).

Everyone is entitled to an opinion – and central ward councillors were able to give theirs in the open forum of a Wakefield Regional Council meeting.

The various BAC members (who represent a wide variety of community groups based in Balaklava) believe much has been achieved to help make Balaklava a better place to live.

It should be remembered we are all “on the same page” in this quest – and that surely

must include those who represent us as elected members on the local council. Otherwise they wouldn’t be there!

All of us want to help our town grow and improve, so let’s strive together to do that.

For the information of your readers, BAC has a role to play as catalyst for projects within the town – a facilitator to assist all organisations to achieve their short and long term goals.

We may not actively be involved with any projects in a “hands on” manner – but we can, as a group, offer guidance and support, through our links to Wakefield Regional Council and those organisations many here already represent.

We achieved this over the past few months by direct involvement with the Ralli Park grandstand refurbishment and its continuing

upgrade. We also have supported the Community Shed with its funding and the grant application and support for the Honour Roll on Memorial Drive.

Our planned development of promotional banners for the town is continuing. These are expensive and grant funding must be sourced – but we will one day see the banners flying in Balaklava.

BAC also negotiated remedial work on the Balaklava Hospital helipad, through discussion with Council and its Infrastructure Services manager, David Hasset. Repairs to the bitumen roadside verge have now been completed and we thank David and his staff for their prompt action.

Other future projects include the beautifica-

tion of the railway corridor to the western side of War Memorial Drive and, with council, further developing the pedestrian link between Railway Terrace near the Terminus Hotel and Ralli Park.

It is now intended work on the railway corridor beautification will start in winter 2010, in conjunction with Balaklava Lions club, which also has indicated it will work with BAC whenever possible.

As these projects are on the northern side of the town, it would be good to set targets in other town areas. Do readers have any suggestions?

If so, contact Wakefield Regional Council for details of your nearest BAC member.

Signed: 15 members, Balaklava Area Committee (names supplied).

Council defends planning policy

Shock n Bright, colourful stage setting and vibrant performers gave their all, some even their ‘lives’ to a man eating plant at the opening performance of Little Shop of Horrors, directed by Balaklava’s Heather Crawford last Sunday. n Seats are still available at Tads or the door for Wednesday’s 8pm show but hurry for the cabaret performances on Friday and

Saturday evenings as tickets are selling fast and there are only a couple of tables left on both nights. See advert page 25. n Pictured below, Jonathan Jenkin (Seymour), Jo Kowalick (Audrey), Steve Renshaw (shop owner Mr Mushnik) are in awe of the mysterious plant, and above, Trish Goodgame shows her skills as a street derelict.

Wakefield Regional Council has responded to criticism of its development approval process in a lengthy letter to the editor.

Following the revelation council had chosen to appeal a Supreme Court decision to the Full Court of the Supreme Court, public debate over the decision raged, and several letters to the editor have been received by the Plains Producer.

In a letter to this paper (see page 2), mayor James Maitland and chief executive officer, Phil Barry, have corrected inaccuracies they claim are made in statements by letter-writers.

They said council and its officers were not aware of any proposal by Balaklava Golf Club to develop 12 house blocks, although club officials had spoken in recent years of possible tourism accommodation.

Mr Barry and Mr Maitland said developments like this came at a significant cost because of the need for new infrastructure such as water, electricity, and internal roadways.

“The biggest challenge for the club or developer is to make such a concept financially viable in a sustainable state government planning environment,” the letter said.

Mr Barry and Mr Maitland said Ray Bennett’s letter highlighted the flexibility allowed under the primary

industry zone “as long as the impact is deemed minor”.

“Substantial research already exists which is why state government’s Planning SA and councils approach land use planning very seriously, as it is not the short term issues but the long term implications and problems which arise that become major concerns for other landowners and residents,” the letter said.

In response to Peter Rann’s call for an Independent Commission Against Corruption, Mr Barry and Mr Maitland said this would be a duplication of services of authorities already in place, including the State Ombudsman, local government minister, district court and SA Police Anti-Corruption Branch.

“It is the cost of such duplication that the Local Government Association of SA on behalf of councils objects.

“The cost to operate an ICAC authority based on interstate examples is reported to be $30 million annually.”

Regarding council’s finances and operating deficit, Mr Barry and Mr Maitland said this was largely due to new requirements to account for depreciation, amortisation and impairment expense in annual operating statements.

“In 2007/08 that expense amount was $3,261,000 or 35.7 per cent of overall operating expense,” they said.

Amalgamation is not on Mallala council agenda In the wake of talks of possible amalgamation between smaller metropolitan councils, District Council of Mallala has affirmed there have been no recent talks of its own amalgamation.

Mayor Tony Flaherty said it had not been mentioned recently, however regionalisation was being discussed as part of the process for new Regional Development Australia boards, which come into effect early next year.

As part of this, Mallala council will be aligned with the Barossa region, rather than its previous alignment with the Yorke region.

“There’s changes in the wind and anything could happen,” said Mayor Flaherty.

And he said while Mallala was considered small now, this would change.

“If development projects like Hickinbotham’s proposal just north of Two Wells and some of the others come off, then our population will increase dramatically over the next 20 years,” he said.

Hickinbotham has proposed a 2500 home development at Two Wells.

Council chief executive officer, Charles Mansueto, confirmed there had been no recent talks of amalgamation.

Balaklava farmer tells of his lucky escape

• From Page 1 “I yelled for help, but nobody heard me.

“My right leg felt OK, so by using that, I managed to get back to the top of the silo, found my phone and called Shane and Jamie (his brothers).

“I reckon they were there in about 10 minutes.”

Shane had to drive from the family farm on the Balaklava outskirts and Jamie from a property west of the town.

Ominously, Jamie’s wife Abbie said she had

noticed a “flicker” to the home’s power supply about 6.30pm.

Matt, whose wife Dot gave birth to son Harry Christopher on Thursday, September 24, said he thought of his family as he waited alone on top of the silo. The couple also has another child, Tay. When they arrived at the silo, brother Shane placed Matt on his shoulders and assisted by Jamie, traversed the ladder to the ground.

They then called 000 and ambulance teams attended and he was rushed to hospital in

Adelaide, spending two days in intensive care where his condition was monitored.

“I was very, very lucky,” said Matt, who was in surprisingly good spirits when contacted yesterday, only hours after his operation.

“I arranged to buy a lottery ticket and even won $40.”

The electricity travelled through Matt’s body, entering through his hands. It exited through the inside of his left anke, blowing a hole in a new pair of boots and leaving a deep burn.

The boots and the fact the silo was on a ce-

ment base are also believed to have helped prevent the electricity from earthing properly.

Matt underwent a skin graft operation in RAH on Monday, where skin from his thigh was grafted to the ankle wound.

He said the area, which to him looked like a large ulcer, “was the size of your fist” and his hands were burned, but did not require skin grafts.

He expected to remain in hospital in Adelaide for several days before returning to Balaklava.

Tanker rolls, blocks highway

National Highway One was closed for several hours after the rear trailer from a roadtrain carrying liquid petroleum gas detached and rolled in the early hours of yesterday (Tuesday) morning.

The accident occurred about 3.45am, between Redhill and Snowtown, closing both the road and nearby railway line.

A hose on the tanker ruptured, causing gas to leak slowly into surrounding areas and drifting towards the railway line, which was closed as a precaution.

The driver was uninjured and traffic diverted around the scene. Road trains were advised to stop and wait until the road was reopened late yesterday morning

Lower Light

A security guard pursued alleged thieves from a Lower Light property on Monday night, leading police to the alleged offenders.

The guard responded to an alarm at a Lower Light shed about 10pm, and just after he arrived, a four wheel drive crashed through a set of gates and its driver attempted to ram the guard’s car.

The security guard then called police, giving directions by phone as he pursued two men in the four-wheel-drive.

Forty-five minutes after the pursuit began, Hamley Bridge and Mallala police arrested a 34-year-old Paralowie man and a 32-year-old Elizabeth South man for alleged offences including endangering life, property damage, theft, and driving with unassigned numberplates.

The men were refused police bail and were to appear in court yesterday (Tuesday).

Two Wells • A former CFS volunteer was reported for property damage after a fire spread from his backyard, which eventually destroyed a neighbour’s shed and its contents.

The 57-year-old Two Wells man will be summonsed to appear in court.

Police reminded people that while it was not yet Fire Danger Season, they still had a duty of care when burning on their own property.

If the fire destroys other property and reasonable care has not been taken, prosecution is likely.

Police said until recently, the man had been a volunteer with the local Country Fire Service.

• About $25,000 damage was caused to plastic glasshouses on Gawler River Road on October 7.

Police said the plastic had been cut on 24 glasshouses covering tomatoes and cucumbers.

A similar incident occurred in the same location

• Two vehicles collided on Monday last week in heavy traffic on Port Wakefield Road.

A 70-year-old Hendon man was travelling south when it appears he misjudged the speed of road users behind him and crossed into the path of a faster moving vehicle.

A Toyota sedan then crashed into the rear of the man’s Toyota utility and trailer, and the sedan left the road. Ambulance personnel treated the driver at the scene but no-one was taken to hospital.

• Fifteen infringements were issued to people driving unregistered vehicles on the beach areas from Port Gawler to Port Parham during Operation Beach.

The theft occurred on Sunday, and police arrested the 48-year-old shortly after based on evidence provided by witnesses. The man was also instantly disqualified from driving for 12 months after he was found drink driving.

Port Wakefield

• A semi trailer rolled at the junction of National Highway One and the Kadina road last Wednesday.

The accident occurred about 11.30pm when the semi trailer, loaded with sand, overturned while turning right onto the highway. The driver suffered only minor injuries.

Kadina police and emergency services remained at the scene for several hours while the semi was put back onto its wheels and towed from the scene.

Council was called in to remove the sand, and the roads were cleared at 4.30am.

Balaklava

• An elderly woman was taken to hospital after a car accident on Saturday. The 77-year-old was involved in a minor accident on Roberts road and was treated for shock.

• Balaklava police also attended an accident in the early hours of Sunday morning after a truck collided with the cable barrier just south of Port Wakefield. The truck sustained minor damage while the cable was broken and posts knocked out. No one was injured.

The first loads of barley for the 2009 South Australian grain harvest have been delivered to ABB Grain’s Port Pirie silos, signalling the start of harvest proper is not far away.

The honour of delivering the first load this season went to D L Lane Pty Ltd when 20.1 tonnes of Keel variety barley was delivered into the silos late on Friday afternoon.

The feed 1 barley was harvested from an area farmed by the Lane family just south of Port Pirie. While the delivered barley was just within the maximum limit for moisture content, it was large grain, low in screenings.

On Monday a further 28 loads of barley were received at Port Pirie from other growers, while Port Lincoln, Wudinna and Penong also received a few loads; Thevenard also received a few loads of wheat.

Traditionally the first grain deliveries in South Australia usually do not occur until mid to late October. However, in 2007 ABB received its first grower delivery on October 4. Harvest is expected to be the biggest since 2005.

NEWS v District

Kidman art show at Kapunda The 2009 Kidman Art Show will commence next Friday, October 23, with a Gala Opening night, starting at 7pm in the Soldiers Memorial Hall, Kapunda.

Photography and Print Media section of the Art Show are already on view at the Kapunda Gallery in the special “Through My Lens” exhibition, with a high standard of entry evident. President of the Kapunda Community Gallery committee, Mrs Maxine Donald, said the photographic exhibition was among the best the Gallery had staged.

“We have received excellent sup-

port from photographers entering the Kidman Art Show,” she said.

A total of 360 works have been received for the Art Show, which is generously supported by the Light Regional Council and a number of corporate and individual sponsors.

A total of over $10,000 in prizemoney is available to artists across seven categories.

Art Show judge, Associate Professor of Flinders University, Rod Taylor, will announce all category winners at the Gala Opening Night.

All artists and interested viewers are invited to attend and enjoy finger

food and wine from local Seppeltsfield Road wineries. Tickets are available for $10 at the Kapunda Visitors Centre or at the door.

Chairman of the organising committee, Rotarian Frank Ware, said he was greatly encouraged by the fine support from artists and sponsors.

The Kidman Art Show will run for seven days until Friday, October 30, concluding with a Finale/Auction where 30 selected works will be auctioned to the highest bidders.

Tickets for the Finale/Auction are also available from the Kapunda Visitors Centre, or at the door.

At the the Kidman Art Show “Through My Lens” Exhibition, Kapunda Gallery president Maxine Donald and Mavis Traeger admire the work of photographer Meredith Mayr from the Clare Valley.

Drought cash for schools

ABOVE: Steve Jones, David Winderlich, Terry Keen and Barb Reid inspect the rising water line and the damage that is being caused to the vegetation (inset) at Port Parham.

Shellgrit mine concerns The shellgrit mine that sparked community outrage in the seaside town of Port Parham is believed to be in breach of its licence conditions.

The breach of mining depth (maximum of 1.5 metres) jeopardises the quality of groundwater, putting the remaining native vegetation at risk.

When Clay and Mineral Sales began mining the lease in one of the only remaining sections of remnant vegetation the local community

protested what it believed to be environmental vandalism.

Despite conditions specifying the lease is only to be mined to a maximum depth of 1.5 metres and the company’s claim to only mine to one metre, rehabilitating the surface as it goes, it appears this has already been breached.

Independent MLC David Winderlich visited the site on Monday.

“The mining is much deeper, which brings in the salt water which could then drain the current fresh

water and wipe out the native vegetation,” Mr Winderlich said.

Mr Winderlich said the community was also concerned about the lowering of the remnant dune area, which could expose the township to flooding in the future by removing the natural levee barrier.

“I will be asking the mining minister, Paul Holloway, to look into the mine,” Mr Winderlich said.

Mr Winderlich said that in contrast to the new mining operation, the locals seemed happy with

the way an existing shellgrit mine was run.

“You can run a profitable operation and do the right thing and have everyone happy with it,” Mr Winderlich said.

“If you start upsetting a lot of people it’s a good sign you’re doing something wrong.”

Mr Winderlich was also informed of other local issues, including the deaths and disappearance of dolphins, and concerns about the fishing industry.

He said the VVCS – Veterans and Veterans Families Counselling Service – provided counselling and group programs to Australian veterans, peacekeepers,

their families and eligible Australian Defence Force personnel.

“Almost 50,000 veterans have a mental health disability, so I understand the treatment of illnesses such as PTSD and related conditions is very close to the hearts of those in the ex-service community,” Mr Griffin said.

ROM art teacher to full time artist, Hamley Bridge’s Jill Foster is almost living her dream. Just add a beach and the potter would feel right at home.

Fifteen months ago, Jill opened a studio at Burra to sell her wares.

She has been creating clay works for about 30 years while also teaching art in schools and adult learning colleges.

Jill specialises in dinnerware, and her vibrant designs set her work apart from the more traditional styled pottery available.

Her newest addition to the range is olive oil pourers, which were inspired by a visit to France.

“I went to France about four years ago and their food over there is so terrific, and they have oil bottles everywhere,” Jill said.

“We haven’t got them in Australia so I thought I would make them.

“I haven’t seen any other hand made oil bottles around.”

Jill, who grew up on the beach at Largs Bay in the 60s, hand draws and paints each piece in bright, lively colours.

However, her work was not always so contemporary.

Jill said she initially stuck to traditional colours and designs, but was offered a new range of paints to trial and soon became hooked.

Now, her “funky lady” decorated work stands out from that of other potters, featuring big-hipped ladies in her beach life, country girl and cafe life ranges.

Her favourite pieces to work with are large plates, which offer unlimited potential when it comes to decorating.

More recently, Jill has also been putting her creations onto canvas, cards, and even brooches.

By Lauren Parker These are sold along side her pottery at Jill Foster Pottery, which also sells silk pieces created by Jill’s mother and other work by two friends.

Jill mostly creates mugs, dishes and oil bottles, and said while she could throw a few hundred pieces in a day, decorating was very time consuming.

Also in her range are hand-thrown funky ladies, complete with spaghettilike hair.

Each piece is decorated before it is fired, which is more difficult as the unfired work is very fragile, but gives a better result.

It is then covered in a clear glaze and fired a second time.

For Jill, her art is a constant learning curve. She regularly participates in workshops and training, often interstate, to learn new techniques and ideas.

But when it comes to the artwork on her pieces, Jill’s inspiration comes from her upbringing and the people around her - such as the long, flowing silken locks of the women she met in France, and her love of the beach and fishing.

“I start with a couple of colours and then think what’s

going to look powerful next to it,” Jill said.

Red, black and white is one of her favourite colour combinations, and this features strongly in her gallery.

But the creation takes place in Jill’s backyard studio, complete with a potters wheel, kilns, and materials.

She admits she spends most weekdays in her studio working on new pieces, and even when away, has canvas and paints on hand for when inspiration strikes.

Jill’s work is also sold through the popular Urban Cow gallery in Adelaide.

Jill has lived in Hamley Bridge for the last 16 years.

She took regular breaks from teaching to travel to China, Japan, Europe, Scandinavia, Papua New Guinea and New Zealand.

Seaway had been kept in discussion as a possible charter vessel, as the new owners initially indicated it would not be required immediately, but they have now withdrawn that option.

However, no other vessel with the necessary shallow draft and speed requirement to provide a Spencer Gulf service had been found to date.

NEWS FOCUS v Election 2010

The safe Labor seat of Taylor takes in the fast growing regions of Two Wells, Virginia and large coastal areas. With current State MP, Trish White retiring, electors will have a new representative when the next election is held in March. Editor TERRY WILLIAMS profiles Leesa Vlahos ...

www.plainsproducer.com.au

Lemme

OUT!

LEESA Vlahos dodges the rain at the iconic wells park area this week. She will move to Two Wells with her family.

Leesa to become the new name in Plains politics L eesa Vlahos called in to say howdy and introduce herself. So who’s Leesa Vlahos?

She’s a Queenslander by birth and has worked in public and private hospitals in Brisbane and Adelaide, following on from studying Health Information Management at the Queensland University of Technology.

She came to SA for employment. But with a twinkle in her eye, she admitted there was also the lure of a young man.

Then there were stints in the electorate offices of SA senators Dominic Foreman and John Quirke, and for Martyn Evans, who held Bonython before it became Wakefield. That’s when Liberal David Fawcett “stole” Wakefield from under the ALP’s nose before Nick Champion claimed it for Labor in the last Federal election.

From 1998–2006 Leesa worked as Assistant Secretary of the SA Branch of the ALP. She currently is director of SA progressive Business Inc, the Labor party’s link to the business community.

You know where there is leading, don’t you. Leesa Vlahos, 43, is the endorsed ALP parliamentary candidate for the State seat of Taylor, to be vacated by current MP Trish White, interestingly also a Queenslander, who will retire after the next State election in March It’s a very safe Labor seat, held since 1994 by Ms White and now boasting a 26.4 per cent margin.

Taylor is one of those “peri-urban” seats which blends metropolitan suburbs with nearby rural areas. Neighbouring Light, held by Labor’s Tony Piccolo, is similar.

Federally, Wakefield is the same.

It’s no easy gig for the pollies who hold these electorates, having to come to grips with the nuances of city/country living.

Taylor is a classic example, with the town of Two Wells smack in its middle.

The Light river is its northern border and the electorate takes in the coastal areas of Lower Light, Middle beach, Port Gawler, Buckland Park and part of St Kilda and Bolivar. To the east, there’s Redbanks,

Reeves Plains, Lewiston and then Virginia.

Its southern boundary includes Paralowie, Salisbury North, and Edinburgh.

All the above means Leesa Vlahos needs to be right at the top of her game when dealing with a mixed bag of constituents, from the battlers of suburbia to Vietnamese market gardeners.

But she’s already taking steps to build her knowledge of the electorate.

Her visit to Balaklava was part of that plan. Certainly, it does no harm to meet the editor whose newspaper circulates throughout the seat of Taylor; but the sweetener to that is the information and independent observations proffered by journalists.

To be fair, Leesa also showed real interest in Balaklava, which is part of the blue-ribbon Liberal seat of Goyder.

‘ ’

It is extremely important how development is handled within the area

On a tour of the town she was eager to learn of the community attitudes to low rental housing at Wattle Ridge estate. She knew about Balco and its hay exporting.

She was up to speed with the Hayfield Plains retirement estate.

And she was savvy enough to describe the local schools as “the hub” to the town.

Married to a GP, she was eager to learn of community attitudes to country health.

And this in a country town outside her electorate. If she applies those values to her own backyard, she’ll be a very successful local MP. And it will be in her back yard. The family – husband George and children Leia, 5 and Christopher, 3 – is moving to the electorate from Lockleys.

“We believe it’s a real necessity to be part of the local community,” Leesa said.

They will most likely live near Two Wells. “It’s been a family decision – as it was for me to become Labor candidate for

Taylor. “I am fortunate to have the support of my family, so it is very much the Team Vlahos thing.”

Leesa has been on a steep learning curve, grappling with local issues and meeting community members through attending various events in townships like Two Wells.

“Getting the right balance for the country agricultural voters and northern suburban voters is never easy – but I am prepared to listen and work hard to ensure all views are heard by the State government and local councils,” Leesa said.

With the 30 year Greater Adelaide plan being discussed currently, (District Council of Mallala has made a submission) the future for a great part of Taylor is under focus not only from locals, but the whole state.

“It is extremely important how development is handled within the area,” she said.

Citing the massive Buckland Park township as an example, Leesa raised floodwater mitigation as a major issue confronting developers.

“And planners must also consider the arrival of the Third Battalion to Edinburgh over the next few years,” she said. “Obviously not all of these families are going to live in close proximity to the base.

“Some will seek the country lifestyle and we must be prepared for that.”

Other local issues Leesa has been made aware of while she works the hustings concerning road maintenance and the urban encroachment of agricultural land in the outer Adelaide Plains.

Leesa has heard from people who would like to subdivide their farms into smaller acreage blocks so they can retire – but are struggling to achieve their dream.

Transportation linkages, apart from road freight, are also on the radar.

Leesa said residents of the electorate of Taylor will have the opportunity to raise more issues as they meet her in local communities over the coming months.

hen Chris and Min Bushell began Bushmin Farmed Rabbits seven years ago, they could not have imagined where their business would be today.

A variety of rabbit products including fresh, gluten and preservative free rabbit sausages are very popular and available in three flavours – almond and tarragon rabbit sausages, cheese and chive, or plain.

“We’ve increased our rabbit production to between 300 and 500 each week and it’s still not enough,” says Min. Rabbit schnitzels, described by Min as the best part of the rabbit, are also very popular.

Smoked rabbit beersticks are also made from the versatile, low fat alternative.

“Our rabbit schnitzels, beersticks and kranskis are always available from the Mallala pub,” Min said.

The business supplies its quality rabbits to many top Adelaide restaurants and for those wanting to cook rabbits themselves, Bushmin products are available from Virginia Meat Store and the Two Wells butcher or the weekly Sunday Farmers Market at Wayville show-

grounds. The product range includes whole rabbits, hind legs, tender rabbit fillets and forequarters, seasoned rolled legs and Ram (rolled, corned and smoked boneless rabbit) and Min describes the taste of as “virtually the same as chicken, only a little sweeter”.

As well as rabbits the Mallala business process lamb, goats and dressed pigs.

Bushmin’s has a strong reputation for quality products and value add to pork, goat and lamb offering a range of products.

Pork kranski (cheese or chilli flavour), lamb and pork beerstick, Old English pork or plain pork sausages, herb and fennel goat sausages along with traditional cuts such as roasts, bacon and ham are on offer.

The success of the business has again been recognised this year with it being nominated as a finalist in the Premier’s Food Awards for the fourth year in a row.

As one of five finalists, Chris and Min have fingers crossed they will take the Award on November 6.

NEWS v District

Roseworthy school upgrade set Construction of the new Roseworthy Primary school will start in January following approval of the project by the Parliamentary Public Works Committee.

State MP for Light, Tony Piccolo, said the $5.4 million project would involve the construction of new classrooms, a resource centre, new administration and staff facilities, and play areas.

Mr Piccolo said the development would essentially involve the building of a new school on the existing site.

New buildings will be designed to blend in with the surrounding area.

“The school will be of the highest environmental standards, incorporating northern window orientation, utilising wide verandahs. In addition, solar panels will generate up to 5KW of power,” he said.

“There will be six, 10,000 litre rainwater tanks installed for use in toilets and landscaping on the site.

“The development will cater for up to 220 students but has been designed to take into account future requirements.”

The announcement was welcomed by school governing council chair, Dennis Martin.

Mr Martin said the new development reflected the bright future of the Roseworthy community.

Mr Martin acknowledged the hard work of the school community in the planning process for the new school buildings.

New buildings are anticipated to be completed in late 2010 and ready for the start of the 2011 school year.

FIRE SAFETY v Special feature

Wakefield Regional Council and District Council of Mallala

Prepare now for fire season The official start to fire danger season is just a fortnight away.

Would you be ready if a bushfire was to rage through the area where you work or live?

The Victorian bushfires earlier in the year hit home the velocity, ferociousness and unpredictable nature of fire.

While fire and emergency services can provide advice and warnings, ultimately individuals must be prepared to take protective action should a bushfire strike.

Wakefield Regional Council’s Fire Prevention Officer and General Inspector, Gary Tezacker says local fuel loadings are currently high with estimations around eight tonnes/hectare.

“This of course will reduce once harvest starts,” he said.

Mr Tezacker is urging residents to reduce and remove vegetation on town blocks as well as those in outlying areas.

“If residents have any queries about removing vegetation, particularly native vegetation, I am happy to discuss it with them,” he said.

The 2009 – 10 Fire Danger Season for the Mid North which includes Wakefield Regional Council and District Council of Mallala opened on

Monday November 15, 2009 & will close on April 30, 2010

In the wake of the Victorian fires a new national fire warning which includes a new category of catastrophic (code red) has been implemented.

A new telephone and text messaging warning will also alert the most severe fire threats based on the landline and mobile phone owner’s billing address.

Country Fire Service (CFS) has adopted a new theme PREPARE. ACT. SURVIVE. to reinforce the message that people won’t survive a bushfire unless they are prepared and take appropriate action to survive.

PREPARING to leave early is the safest option. Whether you choose to leave early to go to a safer place or stay and defend your well prepared home, preparation is the key to survival.

Be prepared to ACT without receiving any emergency warning.

Although local response times are excellent, the CFS does not guarantee a fire truck will always be there to protect your property.

Your SURVIVAL and safety depend on the decisions you make.

Unless changed by Government declaration During that time no fires may be lit in the open unless a permit for that purpose has been obtained from Council. Permits will not be issued prior to March 1, 2009. Contact Council for details of the rules relating to fires in the open for cooking and comfort purposes.

HEAVY PENALTIES APPLY FOR LIGHTING OR MAINTAINING AN UNAUTHORISED FIRE. Additional fire prevention and permit information is available at www.cfs.sa.gov.au

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO • REVIEW and update your Bushfire Survival Plan.

A key part of your plan is knowing where you will go when fire danger is rated catastrophic.Under these circumstances, the fire is likely to be fast-moving, uncontrollable and people should not try to defend their homes, but relocate.

• GATHER appropriate firefighting equipment such as ladders, hoses, buckets, mops, portable water pumps, rake, torch, and a knapsack spray to put out small “spot” fires

1. Fire-breaks should be placed where necessary throughout the property.

2. Buildings should be protected by a 20 metre fire-break or reduction zone.

3. Trees should be pruned to provide a vertical break around buildings.

4. Rurally built up areas such as Two Wells/Lewiston/Owen should have blocks completely cleared of flammable undergrowth unless paddocks are grazed or cropped.

5. The farming community are encouraged to continue to observe the codes of practice for harvesting, stubble slashing and burning off outside of the fire danger season.

TOWNSHIP PROPERTY OWNER/OCCUPIERS 1. All flammable grasses and undergrowth should be cut and maintained at a maximum

Discipline, presentation taught at Grant’s Hill School One of many little schools that once dotted the landscape, Grant’s Hill School opened in 1884, its first teacher being Miss Annette Talbot.

A succession of teachers educated children of this area between Whitwarta and Beaufort (north of Bowmans) until the school closed in 1920; re-opening in 1927 and continuing until its permanent closure in 1941. Apart from a brief period of about two months, all teachers at Grant’s Hill were female.

For a number of years in the early 1900s, Methodist church services were held in the school; in 1912 the pulpit, organ and seats were moved to James Sampson’s barn where services were conducted until the Beaufort church was opened in 1918.

Heritage Highlights

by Norma Schopp

The ‘Wilsons of Whitwarta’ book, published some years ago, gives a brief insight into the life of the school and some of its students. While some children walked to school, some rode horses or travelled in sulkies or carts but, at lunch time, these students had to feed their horses/ponies, which were tied up to a straw and netting wall which their fathers had built for shelter. The familiar tradition of Arbor Day was observed at Grant’s Hill,

Assembly and “inspection” was an important start to each school day, with all students in line. “Shoes had to be clean and shiny, nails clean, hair combed, and hands and face washed. Then we would march into school.” And once a week, they also saluted the flag and sang the national anthem.

Researchers at Murdoch University were surprised to find a new strain of hookworm in about 10 percent of dog samples that were positive for hookworm.

“Although the prevalence of the new hookworm is low, it does have the potential to cross over to cats and people.

Cross over could happen by coming into contact with infected faeces in a backyard, local park or from close contact with an untreated dog.

The new hookworm is the only hookworm that can develop into a patent infection in people, meaning the

parasite can reproduce in people’s digestive tracts and complete its lifecycle,” said Dr Rees.

Adult hookworms live in the digestive tract of their hosts.

They attach t h e m s e l ve s with hook-like mouthpar ts to the walls of the tract and live off blood and digestive juices. They reproduce and lay eggs, which are then carried out of the body through faeces.

There they develop into larvae and wait to infect another host, either by burrowing into their feet or being ingested.

Our “take no prisoners” Par competition last Saturday drew a crowd of 35 players, including three Ladies, Tania Matz, Moya Hayes and Norma Taylor.

Persistent podium placer Merv Hameister climbed yet again to top spot in the A grade event, smacking a very handy +4 to best Bill Parkin (+3), who in turn battered poor Murray Smith into third place anonymity on a count back.

Cast even further from the limelight were such dim, distant stars as R Butterworth (+1), P Lamont (+1), W Lokan (square), J Michael (–1), R Lawson (–1) and L Durdin (–3).

The typically brim–full B grade brigade was led in by Callum Michael (+8), with Tate Michael (+3) tipping Dave Rodgers into a cocked hat on a count back, according to THE BOOK. This is a tad confusing folks, because there are contrary figures in the right hand column (plus a novel series of arrows), so we’ll just press on blindly.

We can only assume that this jolly trio was trailed into the nineteenth by T Lemmon (+1), A Manuel (+1), S Michael (+1), J Michael (+1), W Berry (square), R Veitch (–1), D Robinson (–2), G Toms

C Graders were well represented, well thrashed too by Lockie Michael, who took ‘em apart with an untouchable +6. Simon Purdue (+1) just managed to head off the tenacious Corey Temby on a count back.

Hot on their cooling heels were D Mumford (square), D Robinson (–2), N Mellows (–7) and M Bell (–7).

From the very willing Juniors melee emerged a victorious Jordan Wilson (+3), lording it over his nemesis Jordan Taylor (+2) and the fast–emerging Jake Michael (+2).

Two Birdies were recorded, by Ian Michael on the eighth and Leigh Durdin the tenth.

Nearest The Pins went to “Rotten Ron” Butterworth (3rd & 10th), Ian Michael (8th) and the man himself, Bill Parkin, on both the 15th and 13th.

To the convenors, stewards, judges, site holders, exhibitors and announcers, thank you for your commitment to the show, especially those who faced the rain and hail during the day.

SPORT v District

Surprise as Wooroora men start bowls season:

Owen causes upset in division one bowls Ideal conditions greeted bowlers as the 75th season of Wooroora Men’s Bowls commenced last weekend.

Division One matches provided some interesting results with the most noticeable being Owen’s victory over the more fancied Balaklava combination.

A tight contest was evident across the green as four shots was the winning margin for each of the rinks.

Mallala gained the points over Wasleys by 15 shots despite having only one rink up.

In the remaining match, Hamley Bridge had a comfortable 31 shot victory over Port Wakefield.

Riverton had the bye in the first round. (Bye sides are allocated six points each week).

This weekend’s round again features some interesting matches.

Mallala hosts Riverton in what should be a tight affair. For the Riverton side, this will be their first match for the season and so a good showing is anticipated.

Wasleys made a promising start against Mallala last weekend, but Hamley Bridge should be too strong for their hosts.

The final match sees Owen travel to Port Wakefield. This match should be a close one with Owen keen to build upon their success from the previous week while Port Wakefield will strive to bounce back from their first round loss.

TOM Smith bats for Hamley Bridge.

By John Glistak WMBA president Balaklava has the bye for the second round.

A reminder for Division One sides that due to the split round in operation this season; only two matches are scheduled for October 24 with Mallala, Owen and Wasleys each having the bye.

Division One: October 10 – Hamley Bridge 78(12) (D. Rex 27, A. O’Brien 27, B. Smith 24) def. Port Wakefield 47(0) (G. McPharlin 20, R. McQuire 16, R. Murphy 11); Mallala 81(8) (K. Roberts 19, P. Furst 22, T. Evans 40) def. Wasleys 66(4) (L. Ryan 24, D. Olive 26, R. Bowman 16); Owen 68(12) (N. Harkness 22, G. Harkness 24, B. Parker 22) def. Balaklava 56(0) (T. Clifford 18, B. Taylor 20, P. Thompson 18); Riverton Bye Division One Standings – Hamley Bridge 12(31): Owen 12(12); Mallala 8(15); Riverton 6(0); Wasleys 4(-15), Balaklava 0(-12), Port Wakefield 0(-31) Division One: 17 October 2009 – Mallala vs Riverton, Wasleys vs Hamley Bridge, Port Wakefield vs Owen, Balaklava Bye Only two tight matches in division two Division Two matches last weekend produced only two tight matches, with large margins being evident in the remaining matches.

The closest results saw Mallala White defeat Port Wakefield Gold by two shots while Port Wakefield Blue emerged victors over Mallala Black by nine shots.

At the other end of the scale, Balaklava Blue and Hamley Red each accumulated 100 shots against their respective opponents for both to win very comfortably.

Four of the first week’s winners will be pitted against each other in this weekend’s Division Two round.

Port Wakefield Blue host Mallala White in a clash with little likely to separate these two sides.

The other clash features Hamley White against Riverton White; another clash which could be close.

In the remaining matches, a number of the first week’s losing sides will be eager to reverse their first round fortunes at the expense of more fancied sides.

All in all, this weekend’s round could provide some very interesting matches.

Wooroora Women open season The Wooroora Women’s bowling season was opened last Thursday at Mallala Bowling Club by Region 8 Councillor Maxine Baldock.

It was great to see every club represented, special guest being Patron Vida Oliver.

Forty bowlers played 10 ends in lovely sunny weather, this being the first time Wooroora Women have had an opening on carpet greens.

Afternoon tea was then served by the host club Mallala – thank you ladies for a lovely spread!

Maxine spoke about what is happening in bowls this year, wishing us luck with our new format.

WWBA have introduced triples as the new pennant format it will be a matter of trial and error for some time.

The afternoon was concluded with Maxine presenting last season’s plaque winners.

– Gwenda Cheek, WWBA president.

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

Yield boost from new wheat Farmers and agronomists reacted positively to the launch of a new higher yielding wheat variety.

Australian Grain Technologies released Mace at the Minnipa Ag Centre Field day last month after success in local trials and commercial production in Western Australia.

With orders now being taken for seed available for the 2010 season, AGT’s Roseworthybased wheat breeder, Haydn Kuchel, claims the new variety offers growers a higher yielding and improved disease resistant alternative to Wyalkatchem.

The launch came about after demand from local growers for access to this variety “Mace is derived from a cross combining two of SA’s best performing families – the high yielding Wyalkatchem family; and Spear, which has always shown broad adaptation to the southern environments,�

Haydn said.

Growers adopted Wyalkatchem since its 2003 launch and it is now one of the most widely grown and highest yielding varieties in SA, although it is moderately susceptible to stem and stripe rust and susceptible to CCN (Cereal Cyst Nematode). “Mace has shown very similar adaptation to Wyalkatchem and is therefore likely to be a good option in areas where this variety has been successful,�

Haydn said. “Mace offers some significant advantages with 5-6 per cent higher yields, excellent stem and leaf rust resistance, and tolerance of boron toxicity. “Mace is a good option as a first or second wheat (in a wheat on wheat rotation) due to its good resistance to yellow leaf spot, septoria tritici blotch and root lesion nematode, and improved CCN resistance. “Mace offers high levels of

resistance to leaf and stem rust (including the Wyalkatchem attacking stem rust race in WA) and is also tolerant of boron toxicity.�

Mace also shows improved resistance to black point and CCN (Cereal Cyst Nematode) infection.� “In WA and Victoria Mace has been given an AH classification (whereas Wyalkatchem is APW) and will receive a quality classification in SA before 2010 seeding. “We are hopeful it will be AH in SA as well, so local farmers can benefit from these increased returns.�

Mace was not originally planned for release in SA. Although it shows excellent resistance to the WA and WA+Jackie stripe rust races, it did not meet the minimum disease standard for the WA+Yr17 stripe rust race present in this state.

New Holland has released a new medium square baler, four foot by three foot bales.

Our salesman, Gavin Wilson, will be conducting a series of demonstrations around the area over the next few weeks.

The baler will be in combination with the T7060 New Holland tractor, and farmers who want to see the demonstrations should phone Gavin on 0408 474 007.

We are also starting to forward-sell for next year tillage and tractors and combine harvesters.

There are some pretty good deals going for all those products.

For anyone wishing to purchase a new sprayer for next year, it’s worthwhile looking at that before the end of the year to make use of the government’s 50 per cent investment allowance for those who are eligible. Our JCB products are also going well.

We’re selling quite a lot of loadalls and we now have a new JCB fastrac in stock.

Anyone wanting to come and have a look is welcome. It was also good to catch up with plenty of locals at the Yorke Peninsula Field Days.

pendent Minimum Disease Standards Exceptions Committee looked at the case for growing Mace in SA, they agreed with local growers its stripe rust susceptibility would need to be carefully managed.

The committee decided the financial benefits of growing Mace in SA outweighed these concerns.

AGT SA/Vic marketingmanager, Dan Vater, said it was important growers monitored crops of Mace for stripe rust, particularly when the WA+Yr17 race was known to be in the area.

Mace seed is available in commercial quantities for the 2010 season through AGT Affiliates.

Now Showing …

And you thought “beadwork” meant jewellery …

“The Beaded Object”, an exhibition celebrating beadwork, with items from many local craft workers and exhibits from Balaklava’s Beadwork Gallery’s own collection, has opened at the Balaklava Courthouse Gallery. And none of it jewellery!

This amazing display of beaded objects celebrates the craft of beadwork from many different times and cultures, with stitches borrowed from ancient cultures refined to suit our modern tastes and colour schemes. Pieces recently beaded by local artisans rub shoulders with items from the Beadwork Gallery’s eclectic collection. Ranging from charming dolls to intrinsically worked tableware, from delightfully quirky objets d’art to fascinating miniatures, from beautiful costumes to amusing wall art, this exhibition has something for everyone. Be greeted at the door by the slinky and stylish “Black Widow”!

Come on Sunday afternoons to meet the artisans and see “works in progress”, including the delightful Yellow Trike - and enjoy a complimentary coffee as you watch the ladies working.

“The Beaded Object” runs until Sunday November 8. Make sure you catch it – it’s a lot of fun for all ages! Gallery & Gift Shop Open: Thursdays, Fridays & Sundays 2pm - 4pm.

It’s free, it’s wheelchair accessible and it’s your local gallery!

The 2008 runner-up went down by 12 shots to their southern neighbours as they battled to find early form.

Mallala gained the points over Wasleys by 15 shots despite having only one rink up. In the remaining match, Hamley Bridge had a comfortable 31-shot victory

over Port Wakefield. In div 2, Balaklava Blue was a rare winner for the club, with a big 101-38 score against Riverton Black.

In women’s bowls, Owen also had a victory over Balaklava Gold and Hamley Bridge narrowly defeated Balaklava Green by one shot. Mallala White is first to claim top spot on the premiership table, after dishing out another loss to Balaklava, defeating Red 64-36.
