Delayed report into local link with freight route:
Mallala railway plan loses steam The mud’s been flying!
A discussion paper investigating the possibility of moving the rail freight line from the hills of Adelaide to possibly connect near Mallala is yet to be released. It was revealed last year discussions were taking place to reroute the railway line from the Mitcham Hills, east around the Mount Lofty ranges. Federal Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, Anthony Albanese, said in February a discussion paper would be released in July. A full study report was expected to be finished by October. However, the discussion paper is yet to be made public. Any link joining the national line around Mallala also could have a huge impact on development of the Bowmans Intermodal site, with potential PICTURE: Lauren Parker for it to become a hub for masn MUD larks were out in force for the annual Mallala motorbike trial held sive freight movements of both in the region last weekend.

Lure of life in the bush brings its problems
R
ural living is becoming something of a hot potato for all communities within this region. Councils are developing draft Rural Living zones, as part of changes to their existing dream of things. Wakefield Regional Council in September last year resolved to progress its Rural Living Development Plan Amendment (DPA) and residents can now make submissions as part of a two-month public consultation process, which started back in July. Submissions close on Friday, September 11, with a public meeting to be held at 3.30pm on Wednesday, September 23 at the council’s Civic Centre in Balaklava. You would have been aware of that through public notices and so on, wouldn’t you? No? Oh well, par for the course; let’s hope we can enlighten you a tad. There’s really quite a lot to be considered. And it’s not just in this council area. Local governments across Australia are having to grasp the nettle as urban areas change. Rural councils are particularly affected, with encroachment of metropolitan

EDITOR Editor@plainsproducer.com.au housing and populations into areas which once were farmland. There’s many and varied issues and problems, with “hobby farms” also springing up on small acreages and bringing with them a mixture of challenges for authorities. These include things like noxious weeds (it is alleged many hobby farmers do not give a fig about these and of course this affects neighbouring primary production properties). There’s also risk of fire from overgrowth and rubbish on properties, wandering dogs and straying stock, increased use of council roads and even noise, disrupting neighbouring
properties. You’re thinking, what, a horse whinnying? An Alpaca bleating? (do they bleat?). Not really, but there’s continuing problems of noisy motorbikes, chainsaws and vehicles shattering the calm of quiet country backblocks. I know of one family near Hamley Bridge that is locked in dispute with neighbours over what they allege is constant noise from motor bikes. So desperate are they, the Environmental Protection Authority is now involved and the MP for Light, Tony Piccolo, is investigating, along with police and Mallala councillors. Such problems are a direct result of planning regulations allowing the carve up of rural land. It’s all very well to want to enjoy your slice of paradise in the bush – but in fact many properties are very close together and in the calm of night it is possible to, well, hear someone pass wind. Tony Piccolo’s electorate of Light, which takes in Gawler and surrounding areas, has major issues – and I know this pro-active politician will be raising the matter at government level. At Mallala and Wakefield Regional
Councils, strong demand for rural living land has elected members and officers wrestling with changes. Wakefield Regional Council has seen areas in its southern towns, such as Hamley Bridge and Owen, grow because they are within easy commuting distance of Gawler, Elizabeth and Salisbury, which support many jobs. In 1996 WRC altered its development Plan to stop the unplanned conversion of farmland to rural living development by making a dwelling on an allotment of less than 40 hectares a “non-complying” form of development in its Primary Production zone. That is, where people want to farm. But the amendment was delayed because State Government’s Planning SA required all councils in SA to have development plans set out in a new template format for consistent overall development and zone policy. So there has been continued growth around areas west and south of Owen, north of Blyth, west of Balaklava and south of Halbury. Would you believe there are 198 allotments of less than 40 hectares surrounding Owen and at least 201 surrounding Halbury!
By golly the pioneering planners must have thought these were really going to be go-ahead areas. And that’s what they are now becoming; it’s only taken about 140 years. Council maps show the township of Owen and Halbury almost surrounded by small blocks. The challenge for Wakefield Regional Council – and others – is to get the right balance. It doesn’t want to prevent people from enjoying a rural lifestyle. After all, what council would reject ratepayers. But it must, just as examples, take into account proximity to towns and services, land tenure, soil conditions, separation from intensive animal keeping (poultry and pigs) overall effect on broadacre farming activities and the presence of native vegetation. Council is now going through a lengthy consultation process with almost every State government department, other councils politicians and NRM and development boards. It’s a challenging task. It’s still in draft form. Have your say. Contact WRC’s Environmental Services Manager. Council’s staff (8862 0800) will tell you how.
WE HEARD Lady luck – Nola and Lloyd Deer of Kangaroo Island were recently staying in Blyth with their Australian Terrier “Lady”, while their daughter was getting married in Clare. The Deers had left “Lady” in what they thought was a secured yard, however the Friday before the wedding “Lady” went missing. Understandably the family was quite frantic and had a couple of sleepless nights during the weekend wondering what had happen to their “Lady”. On Sunday they dropped into the Blyth Golf Clubhouse to enquire if anyone had seen a lost dog. Local Max Garling was able to give information of a dog seen trotting along the Bowillia Road on Saturday night. The Deers headed to the area and after knocking on two farmers doors found “Lady” safe and sound quite some distance south west of Blyth. “Lady” had lost a bit of weight during her two day adventure and all agreed she was heading in the right direction to get home. Thanks all round from the Deer family.
CLARIFICATION:
School swine flu
In a front page article in the Plains Producer last week, it was reported students in some towns had contracted the H1N1 virus, or swine flu. The article stated students from Balaklava, Owen, Kapunda, Snowtown and Hamley Bridge and other areas had been diagnosed. This was not incorrect, but the Plains Producer should have clarified affected students were NOT from primary schools in those towns. This caused some concern and confusion for parents of students and a number of schools. The Plains Producer apologises to those people who felt they were misinformed. Jack Miller

Mallala rail plan delayed • From Page 1 Member for Davenport, Iain Evans, said the movement of the freight line was a matter of great public interest. “Each delay, like this one, pushes back the date of the completion of the full study report,” Mr Evans said. He said if the full report was
finished by October, it would be early enough to allow political parties to announce their position on moving the freight line at the next Federal election. Mr Evans called on the minister to confirm when the discussion paper would be released; when public submissions needed to be received by; and if
the full study report would still be completed by October. “The delay in the release of this discussion paper is unacceptable,” Mr Evans said. The $3 million study is being undertaken by GHD Pty Ltd, and a project reference group was established earlier this year, including representa-
tives of Mitcham Council, the Local Government Association of South Australia, the Freight Rail Operators Group, and the Australian Rail Track Corporation. The Plains Producer received no response from Minister Albanese’s office before this edition went to press.

Off-field report in footy incident A Balaklava Football Club official has been reported and will face the APFL tribunal tonight (Wednesday) after scenes became heated following Balaklava’s one point loss to Two Wells at Balaklava on Saturday. Balaklava’s finals aspirations were in the balance as Two Wells came from six goals down in the last quarter to win by a solitary point. Balaklava now finds itself in seventh position, with five wins from 13 games, behind United and Hummocks Watchman Eagles, each on six wins and battling for fourth sport behind table leaders Mallala, Virginia and Two Wells. The Eagles, again displaying late season “finals fever,” upset premiership aspirants Virginia by 20 points at Virginia last Saturday. Emotions and tensions after the final siren boiled over at Ralli Park, with a Balaklava supporter, who has an official role at the club, allegedly going too far and launching a tirade at the two officiating umpires as they left the
upset with the umpiring in the last quarter of the match but at the end of the day I have never seen an umpire change his decision – and certainly once the game has finished the result is done and dusted. “There is a formal process in place for making complaints and this needs to be followed. “The umpires are there to do a job and whether good or bad you have to accept their decisions “Umpires being abused in local sport is not something anyone wants to see.” Mr Lane also indicated the club would review the matter internally after the APFL Tribunal handed down its decision tonight. APFL umpires co-ordinator, Doug Tallboy, said he was “not happy” with his umpires being abused and certainly was very upset at the way club supporters had gone about things in recent weeks. “I’ve had it with all this umpire bashing lately,” he said.
By football reporter Kym Jarman ground and made their way to the change rooms. There was also abuse from other supporters, although some acted in an attempt to diffuse the situation. In the wake of the incident, Balaklava Football Club president, Andrew Lane, said the club was extremely disappointed about the way some of its supporters behaved. Mr Lane said: “I understand one of our members has been reported over an incident after the match and this will be heard by the Tribunal on Wednesday night. “The club does not believe it is appropriate to comment on this incident until the Tribunal has handed down its decision. “However, from a general perspective Balaklava Football Club does not condone any of its supporters abusing umpires or the like. “Many of our supporters on Saturday were
From a ‘letter to the editor’ (in the Plains Producer) one week to this (most recent) situation, it’s fair to say I’m pretty disgusted. “There are channels that clubs can go through to rectify and address situations of complaint in regards to umpiring but for one supporter to write a letter to the paper one week and another to allegedly personally intimidate and abuse umpires after the game this week – it’s just not on.” “If people want to have a crack at us every single time we make a mistake .... (then) this official who clearly stepped out of line on Saturday should expect to be held accountable for his mistakes.” Although league officials haven’t indicated what course of action may be taken, it is likely the APFL won’t take the situation lightly – after its support of the umpiring fraternity in response to a “letter to the editor” published in last week’s Plains Producer. • MATCH Report, Page 21 • Kym Jarman’s Call, Page 32

“Take a Break,” a project to enable drought stressed families to enjoy quality time together away at a holiday destination, has been announced by the South Australian Country Women’s Association Inc (SACWA). With much of South Australia still seriously affected by prolonged drought, many are in desperate need of respite from their immediate problems. Holiday homes and flats, including SACWA owned properties, will be used for accommodation and the group will be working hard to provide funds for the cause. It is hoped money raised by SACWA branches will be supplemented by the public with either monetary donations or the use of privately owned holiday homes. Over the last two years SACWA has distributed $825,150 worth of food vouchers for drought relief /household support in South Australia and the group would welcome the support of the South Australian public for the “Take a Break” project

It features the Mid-North and Adelaide Plains region amongst its pages. “Looking Back – History of the SA Country Fire Service” by Rex Hall includes CFS-related events and local stories from Balaklava, Two Wells, Auburn, Kupunda and other surrounding areas. The 560-page hard cover book is Rex’s second book, following the release of his first, “Forty-Five Flaming Years”- a personal recollection of being a volunteer fire fighter. “Having already completed my personal history, it made sense to take it to the next level by researching and tracing the history of the Emergency Fire Services and CFS,” Rex said. His second book will be a broader reflection of similar themes and a natural progression to his previous accomplishment. The book will be officially launched by deputy chief officer of SA Country Fire Service, Andrew Lawson, at Tanunda CFS Station at 1.30pm on Sunday.

Two sides to this tale on local dogs There’s been some good news and bad news for dogs in the district. Owen playground has been declared a “dog free” zone – bad news for local Fido’s – but at Two Wells the local “off-leash’ area has been given the “lick” of approval. Wakefield Regional Council made the decision on Owen playground at a recent council meeting, after receiving a letter in April from the Owen Community Centre Committee. No feedback was received during the period, and councillors voted to act on the committee’s advice and exclude dogs from the fenced Lindsay Park Playground. It’s a different story at Two Wells, where local residents have jumped at the chance to let their pets run free. The “off-leash” area, on Wells road, was created last year, and Mallala Council dog control officer, Peter Buttery, said, “We are very pleased with the usage of it. The only problem is keeping the grass short at this time of year.” Josie Hewson, from Adelaide Plains Kennel and Obedience Club, also sees the off-leash park as a good asset to the community. “I’ve seen people using it regularly,” she said. In another welcome announcement for dog owners, researchers in Australia have begun practising with stem cell technology to relieve the pain of arthritis in dogs. The technique involves purification of the dog’s own cells to relieve pain, and is experiencing a high success rate. “I have heard very good things about the stem cell research,” Ms Hewson said. Ms Hewson also mentioned a
By Bronte Hewett simple heart murmur test, a condition common in boxer breed dogs. It works the same as a DNA test. Two Wells veterinarian Dr John Katakasi treats arthritis affected dogs regularly but does not practice the stem cell technique. He believed, at this early stage of production, the cost did not justify the benefit, especially when there were several treatments currently available that were effective and more cost efficient. “Pet dogs are affected by joint pains the most, usually a result of the dogs being overweight,” Dr Katakasi said. “Greyhound racing dogs are generally the ideal body weight and don’t experience the most common form of arthritis ... in the hip,” he said. Kids and canines • In light of all these canine complexities, it’s just as well the Dog and Cat Management Board released a free children’s education activity book called ‘Kids and Dogs.’ The book, available from local councils, provides basic tips on exercising dogs, registration, training, socialising, health issues and how to approach and pat a dog. Ben Luxton from the Management Board said, “Filled with puzzles, games and lots of interesting reading, this new publication is designed to help children learn to recognise dog behaviour, the responsibilities involved in dog ownership and how to be safe around dogs.” To obtain a copy of the book, contact the Dog and Cat Management Board on 8124 4962 or visit your local council office.

Technicality over issuing of permit halts council ruling:
NEWS v Mallala, Two Wells
Plains Producer, Wednesday August 12, 2009
$7,000 BENEFIT FOR MALLALA HOSPITAL:
Shellgrit road will remain off limits Shellgrit road at Port Gawler has not been reopened despite District Council of Mallala voting the road to be reopened on August 1. The road had been closed and blocked by Cheetham Salt to prevent access to the saltfields several years ago, and a second concrete and gate blockade installed partway along the closed section about a year ago. However, the community asked for the road to be reopened, as it was a popular destination for horse riders. SAPOL and Fisheries supported the continued closure because of alleged illegal fishing within the salt fields. Councillors last month voted the road be reopened and gates removed by Cheetham. Council’s infrastructure and engineering services manager, John Tillack, confirmed the road was yet to be reopened. “Council has received a legal opinion that makes it such that we cannot open it,” Mr Tillack said. He said he was unable to comment further as it was a legal matter, but the issue will be discussed in confidence at council’s meeting on Monday evening. It is believed Cheetham Salt is in possession of a permit granting the closure of the road until 2050, which councillors were not aware of when the decision was made. It appears the permit was issued by staff without the knowledge of elected members.
MALLALA COUNCIL NEWS:
New CEO starts Charles Mansueto, newly appointed chief executive officer at District Council of Mallala, began his role on Monday.

Warning as ‘give way’ signs trashed Two emergency services volunteers have expressed their concern about three give way signs at busy local intersections being knocked over. Terry and Annette Halford have been emergency services volunteers for about 35 years, and wrote to this newspaper after they saw signs at the busy Dublin and Long Plains roads intersection and Long Plains and Windsor road intersection on the ground. “We lobbied our local council to have give way signs erected on local crossroads,” Annette said. “Prior to these being in place we were regularly attending serious accidents at these intersections. “The signs were put in place to prevent accidents, so you can imagine our horror when we found several of them knocked over.” Annette said the driver of the vehicle responsible would have had to go up onto the road verge to do this. She also had a stern warning for a driver of a white Toyota tray top ute which she has seen driving straight across the Windsor/Mallala and Dublin Mallala roads: “We might be scraping you up next,” Annette said. Annette and Terry are no longer ambulance volunteers, but continue to volunteer with Dublin CFS, attending numerous accidents as part of this.

Talking politics pays off The local community raised more than $7000 for the Mallala Community Hospital on Friday evening in a sell out evening “Inside Federal Politics”. The evening put paid to the old line ‘don’t talk politics in polite society’ with guest speakers Annabel Crabb, of the Sydney Morning Herald, and Grant Cameron, drive time host on ABC 891. Hospital fundraising committee chair, Mac Crabb, said speakers were heard in
silence and the audience reacted with a broad range of challenging questions and all present have a more intimate knowledge of the humorous side of the federal political scene. Mr Crabb said the $7250 raised was a great injection towards the ‘fundraising for the future’ target of $150,000, and was another significant demonstration of the community’s support for the hospital and the service it provides.
“Paul Angus as MC helped make the night with his political insight and ability to humanise politics,” said Mr Crabb. “The atmosphere and financial success of the night was a reflection of the contribution of a broad range of people and Richard Verner, as treasurer, spoke on behalf of the board of management in recognition of the volunteer efforts.” n Mallala Football Club centenary – Pages 18 & 19.
Bet’s back, with Then and Now ... and again! When Bet Williams first began compiling the history of Two Wells many years ago, it was with the mind of someone who wanted to find out more about the area she had grown to love. Now, Bet is preparing for the launch of the second edition of Two Wells, Then and Now. Compiled with the help of Bet’s husband Les and family friend David Kranz, the book will be launched at Two Wells Public Library next month. Bet and Les are well known among the local community, with Les being born locally and Bet making the move to Lewiston in 1939 with her parents, when her father was head teacher at the Lewiston School. Bet freely admits she wasn’t impressed with the flat land after living in the Adelaide Hills, but the community and the people of the plains quickly grew on her. The couple have come and gone from the area, and are now living in Mawson Lakes at a retirement village. “I was always so proud of the area and its achievements, and I was very conscious there was no written history about it,” Bet said. Two Wells, Then and Now
covers the area between the Light and Gawler rivers, as well as Lower Light. “It’s the history of the growth of the district,” Bet said. “It was the granary of the state in the early days, but now there’s not too many farmers left around Two Wells, and all the Lewiston area has been cut up for housing. “I’m just fascinated by history and the changes that have occurred.” From the influx of migrants following World War II that saw the region turn into the salad bowl of the state, to the growth of community groups and facilities, Bet has carefully compiled the history of the area. Bet said the launch of the first edition was met with huge success, and it was at the urging of others that it had been updated and reprinted. The new edition features the history of several community groups, along with family histories and some fascinating tales. One of Bet’s favourites is the story of a woman who lived at Lewiston, and in the days when ketches still berthed at Port Gawler to load grain and other goods, the woman would walk
to Port Gawler from Lewiston to meet the ketches and sell her butter. Bet admits it hasn’t been an easy task updating the history book, which was first published in 1991. She approached numerous community organisations, but not all of them chose to provide her with history. Bet credits most of the up-
grade to Les and David, and said without their huge input it wouldn’t have occurred. She is relieved to finally have it at the printers, and looks forward to heading back to Two Wells in August for the launch. Two Wells, Then and Now, will be launched at Two Wells Public Library on Monday, August 17 at 10am.

Kelly’s Edible Blooms takes her from Balaklava to be SA’s finalist in national business award
ormer Balaklava resident, Kelly Baker’s business, Edible Blooms, has taken out the prestigious MYOB Small Business Award and will represent South Australia at the 2009 Telstra Business Awards next week. A national gift delivery business providing fresh and wickedly delicious alternatives to traditional flower gifts, Edible Blooms offers floral-like bouquets made from fresh fruit, gourmet chocolates and home baked cookies. The daughter of Margaret and Bevan Baker and granddaughter of Balaklava stalwarts, Dick and Merle May, Kelly says she grew up in an entrepreneurial and business oriented family, and always knew she would start her own business. It was on a plane on the way to New York the idea was born and in September 2005, after careful planning and years of experience in marketing and business development under her belt, Kelly traded her car, bought a delivery van and launched Edible Blooms in Brisbane, with just nine fruit bouquet order options. Kelly says she was inspired to start the business by her uncle Malcolm (May) founder of Balco who took an idea, started a business and worked to make it grow. Through a clever combination of innovative emarketing and traditional branding strategies, Edible Blooms has become one of Australia’s most popular and fastest-growing online gift e-tailers, with around 70 per cent of orders placed THE Baker family, mother Margaret, Abbey, Kelly and father over the internet.

NEWS v Snowtown & District
Lorraine’s award – but it’s thanks for your help n After receiving a volunteer award from State government last month and being named a local EMU Award recipient earlier this year, Snowtown wildlife carer Lorraine Samuels tells us how the community has helped.
‘T
his has been a wonderful year and I am proud to have been able to bring the needs of our native wildlife to the attention of so many people. There have been a lot of helpers assisting me along the way. Being a full time dedicated wildlife carer is all consuming. It takes dedication, time, money, a ton of love for the animals and commitment. There are many wildlife carers out there who get no recognition for what they do. We get no financial assistance from government, yet legally, all wildlife belongs to the state. Even the Department for Environment and Heritage is facing funding cuts. Despite this, staff are very supportive and have gone out of their way to be helpful to me by extending information and support and a genuine interest in the well-being of individual animals. I thank the people of Hummocks Station, Snowtown, for their active support, and those who have made donations of money, sheets, towels, blankets and other household items (sheets etc make great pouches for joeys). Many ladies sewed pouches for me, and farmers have donated hay or grain. My thanks also go to Hummocks Station for nominating me for the Emu Awards, and to sponsors the Plains Producer, Life Care and Adelaide Plains Marketing. To my surprise, I received the individual award which left me speechless – and for those who know me, that doesn’t happen often! When the over-all winner was I share this award announced, all and recognition with you can e imagine my the dedicated wildlif stunned recarers out there action when I heard my name called once again. I can tell you I had trouble getting my mouth and brain to connect and make a speech. More recently, I was nominated by staff at Wakefield Regional Council for the South Australian of the Year Premier’s Volunteer Awards. When told I had been chosen to accept this award, my emotions went into overload. My heart skipped a beat and I almost dropped the phone. It was a real honour to accept this award, but I would like it known I share this award and recognition and acknowledgement with all the dedicated wildlife carers out there, as we seem to fall through the cracks when it comes to getting a helping hand. It’s so gratifying to know the needs of native animals is being recognised, and carers are at last finding a place in the scheme of things. Here’s hoping this may find a place in the financial world of government or corporate businesses by way of donations, GST exemptions of other monetary help wildlife carers so badly need. I love what I do – it is my life and I owe my husband Sammy great thanks for his support, and also my parents who have helped out financially with vet bills etc when the finances just don’t stretch far enough to save the life of a little critter in need. We (Wildlife Rescue) do 24-hour callouts and can usually put people in touch with a nearby wildlife carer if there is one. At the moment we are looking for a baby wombat as our babies now weigh 16-18 kilograms and are getting too heavy to take to seminars and schools for public education. Phone 8865 2024 any time of the day or night if you come across injured wildlife in need of help. I thank all the people who have been supportive and helped me care for our native wildlife.

Petition plea as Griffiths slams State funding:
The roads to ruin GOYDER MP and Deputy Opposition Leader, Stephen Griffiths, claims the State government has again failed to provide any major funding to undertake maintenance and new road works. Mr Griffiths said hundreds of kilometres of Transport SA roads existed within the Goyder electorate – but funding for rural road improvements has in fact been slashed in the Budget from $7.76 million a year to just $760,000 this year. “I am continually being contacted by people fed up with the poor condition of the road network they have no choice but to travel on,” he said. “Some of the stories are quite shocking and it is very concern-
ing people driving on these roads are putting their lives at risk.”. Mr Griffiths said the RAA’s independent review into South Australia’s strategic road network Towards 2020 supported the need for funding to reduce the pressure currently placed on the road network. “Since becoming elected to Parliament in 2006, I have written to the Minister for Transport, Patrick Conlon, many times regarding the condition of the roads within Goyder,” he said. “Sadly, I keep receiving the same response – that there is no funding available in the Budget to carry out the required works to bring the roads up to a safe and acceptable standard “On the roads that are patched
up (in some cases imposing speed limit reductions to 100 km/h), it is often a short term quick fix but the expense is to the tax payer in the long run – money and lives! A petition is now circulating throughout the electorate during the month of August to present to parliament when it resumes in September. “I urge you to sign the petition as the power of the people is needed to show the State Government that we are sick of being ignored,” Mr Griffiths said. “Copies of the petition can be requested by contacting my office on 8832 2455 or goyder@ parliament.sa.gov.au. Your assistance in distributing them in prominent positions would also be appreciated.”

Special delivery! Balaklava Transport’s new service meets demand
B
alaklava Transport has introduced a new service promising overnight delivery of small and larger parcels anywhere on the Adelaide Plains. Proprietor Garry Hosking said the service was ideal for urgent pick-ups and deliveries, leavingAdelaide every afternoon. The new service began on August 3, and Garry said it had been sparked by customer need. Combined with Balaklava Transport’s existing services, Garry said his business now provided the full service, from small parcel delivery through to large parcels up to 12 metres long. Garry and Jenni Hosking have been in business for seven years, and have expanded across the region, while demand in Balaklava itself has also increased. Balaklava Transport’s new four tonne truck is ideal for deliveries to and from Adelaide, and with a five
metre tray, can transport small or larger parcels. Garry said the service could be used anywhere in Adelaide and across the Adelaide Plains, including Virginia, Angle Vale, Gawler, Roseworthy, Lewiston, Two Wells, Lower Light, Dublin, Mallala, Hamley Bridge, Owen, Port Wakefield, Balaklava and surrounding areas. With the addition of the third truck to the business, Balaklava Transport clocks up thousands of kilometres each year. While delivering parcels and pallets to and from businesses across the Plains, the largest truck travels about 60,000km each year, while the small truck covers about 80,000km in the same time. The new four-tonne overnight delivery truck is expected to add many more kilometres to the tally, travelling about 400km each day. Garry said his business had grown in size and in the number of employees,
from just himself and Jenni when they first started seven years ago, to a team of seven today, who are proud supporters of the local community and businesses. He said the new service made it easy for all customers, who could now use Balaklava Transport for all their delivery needs with the convenience of using one service provider and only one account for freight. New customers can have an account established immediately.

How to find a friend
Hamley Bridge and Tarlee primary school students participated in a “friendship seminar” recently organised by the Schools Ministry Group at Hamley Bridge primary. The session was well run by group representatives, Sarah and James. They used the movie Finding Nemo to point out aspects of friendship, and to teach students that in order to have friends they needed to be a friend to others. Students (pictured below) were then able to meet and play after the session and to develop friendships themselves. Christian pastoral support worker, Tracey Butter, helped organise the session, sponsored by Tarlee Uniting church group. n LEFT: Riverton primary’s new students for term three – standing at rear: Molly McKenzie Year 6 and Alice McKenzie Year 3.

Windmills – still widely used today The history of windmills dates back to the period AD 500-900 in Persia. They were first built to automate the task of grinding grain and also for pumping water. The windmill works by the wind blowing across the sails (blades) which are fixed onto a shaft on top of the tower. The shaft runs down through the middle of the tower and, as the blades rotate from the force of the wind, the shaft spins which, in turn, spins the large wheels and gears inside. The wheels and gears can turn things such as grinding stones, pumps or saws. Some of the world’s oldest windmills can be found in Afghanistan, but the Chinese believe windmills were being used in China more than 2000 years ago, although their first documentation was in AD 1219.
Heritage Highlights by Norma Schopp
The Crusaders are recorded as introducing the windmill to Europe and England in the 12th century when they returned from the wars, with the earliest known windmills working in France in 1180 and in England in 1185. They replaced animal power for grinding corn and wheat. In the 1390s, the Dutch began refining the windmill design. According to one researcher, Griffiths Bros & Co are credited with making the first windmills in

Australia in 1876, at their factory in Toowoomba, Queensland, basing their design on a windmill imported from America. They were known as Griffiths Mills, and in 1903 they marketed the first unit under the Southern Cross name. However, the 1876 claim to fame for Griffiths Bros. could be disputed, given that there were numerous other manufacturers around the same time, including our own Walter Blake who began his business in Balaklava also in 1876 and was famous for his windmills as well as other farm machinery, wagons etc. Balaklava Museum has several locally made windmills, and has adopted the Blake windmill as its logo. Over the centuries, there have been many different windmill designs, some more successful than

It found its way into Europe where it became the favourite of the Royal Courts. The name “Pug” is thought to have originated from the nickname given to marmosets, a common pet in the 1700s.

others, but the windmill still plays a vital role in pumping water for livestock on farms and stations all over Australia. There have also been numerous ingenious set-ups created for keeping the windmills working when there was no wind. An unusual windmill seen recently is the “flip flop windmill” at Meningie. Next time you’re down that way, stop and have a look at it.

The Pug – an endearing breed granted its name. The breed gained wide popularity throughout the Victorian era and is featured in many art forms of the period. The head of the Pug is massive with a short, blunt, square muzzle. The eyes are large, and prominent, dark in colour with a soft expression. The body is compact and the tail curled tightly over the hip, with a double curl. The coat is fine, soft,
short and glossy and most commonly coloured in silver or apricot-fawn with velvety black ears and a clearly defined black muzzle or mask. The Pug also comes in a glossy solid black. The Pug is an ideal pet for all ages and may be especially suitable for older folks as their exercise needs are quite moderate. It is important to ensure that the Pug is kept cool on warm days, as this breed does not

cope well with heat. As the Pug is very much a breed which prefers to be a house dog, he will generally search out the coolest spot in the house - and certainly the most comfortable! There are few more endearing dogs than the Pug. It has a natural affinity with children, craves human companionship and although he has a certain dignity about him, manages to combine it with a good sense of humour and a strong desire to be the centre of attention.

‘Taylor made’ for success
Taylor’s Winery at Auburn celebrated a milestone last Wednesday, with the opening of its new Jaraman Cellar. Premier Mike Rann officially opened the cellar before a crowd of government and local government representatives, wine industry representatives, and tradespeople involved in the project. The project began with excavation work in 2007, and a new tank farm was installed last year before the installation of processing equipment in time for the 2009 vintage. Taylor’s managing director, Mitchell Taylor, said more than 150,000 tonnes of slate and gravel was moved from the cellar site, and said the new cellar and infrastructure was some of the best in the industry. “We have the ability to do whole bunch pressing of a scale that has not been seen within the industry,” Mr Taylor said. “It’s important for our industry in difficult times that we do keep up with the quality aspect.” Premier Mike Rann said he was a frequent

ily company investing during a difficult financial time. “It’s 40 years this year since Bill Taylor decided this looked like a reasonable place to plan a new vineyard venture,” Mr Rann said. “That took courage, and what we see here now took courage and commitment.” Mr Rann said the wine industry was vitally important for the state’s exports. “We export 15 bottles of wine from South Australia every single second,” he said. “The fact Australian wines can perform better in the British market than French wines speaks of their quality.” The new Jaraman Cellar has a bottling capacity of two million cases a year, which are exported to more than a dozen countries around the world. State government granted $300,000 towards the project through its Regional Development Infrastructure Fund. Mr Rann said as well as helping the winery itself, the investment had boosted local employment. He said the Clare Valley would be seen by about a quarter of a billion people around the world when cycling’s Tour Down Under passes through next year. Mr Rann said a crate of Clare Valley wines would be sent to champion cyclist Lance Armstrong to encourage him to take part in the tour. Taylors chief winemaker, Adam Iggins, explained the new cel-

lar and infrastructure to those present at the opening. And he revealed further expansion was planned. “This really is about 40 per cent of what we want to build in the next 10 years,” Mr Eggins said. The tanks are capable of holding six million litres, and from its beginning days, Taylors has gone from operating an eight tonne press to a 25 tonne press, to its new 60 tonne press. “It’s the largest press of its type on wheels in the world,” Mr Eggins said. The new press weights 16 tonnes while empty. And a new refrigeration system will also help with efficiency. “If fruit arrives here and it’s 40 degrees, if we wanted it in the tanks at five degrees we can do
it,’ Mr Eggins said. “We’ll get the heat out and get on with things to make the best wines we can.” Still to be added to the new section are red wine fermenting tanks, then more earthworks will be required for further expansion in the future. Taylors is the largest producer and employer in the Clare region, with about 100 permanent employees, with numbers swelling during vintage and pruning. During its 40th anniversary year, Taylors has won a series of awards including a trophy for Taylors Shiraz at the 2009 Sydney International Wine Competition; a gold medal for St Andrews Shiraz at 2009 Syrah du monde in France. A series of birthday celebrations is planned later this year.

Like a vintage port, this imposing Balaklava home has mellowed with age, its solid stone walls a treasure trove of yarns from yesteryear. Now it will be offered for sale. Terry Williams delves into its past:
I
f these walls could talk, what would they reveal about the imposing home at number 28 Humphrey street in Balaklava? Would they relate the gossip of 1878, when Balaklava’s first town council was being formed? Would the council rates have been discussed, as they are around dinner tables now? Were those diners of yesteryear happy with the sixpenny rate set by councillors back then? And what went on in the two large underground rooms beneath the boards? Did the men “retire” there for port and cigars to escape the heat of a Plains summer, where air conditioning came through vents and sash windows in the walls? These are just some of the images from yesteryear* which spring to mind as the sale of the Henstridge family home by Landmark Balaklava and Butterfield Agencies nears on Friday, August 28. With the passing of Joan Henstridge in November 2007, aged 96, the Henstridge family – son Austin and daughters Lesley and Olwen – decided to sell the home, which had been part of their life since June, 1946. The original Certificate of Title shows Hector Henstridge purchased the house from Balaklava newsagent, Aloysius John McNeill. It seems the home, now with large verandahs and distinctive columns, could have been built around 1875/76. History of ownership is shown separately, with one of Balaklava’s leading business and community identities, Walter Blake, and his family living there for many years from 1878 until 1920. Austin Henstridge says family folklore suggests the house had the same builder as other wellknown historical homes, Werocata and Pareora – possibly Samuel B Marchant, according to Norma Schopp, of Balaklava Museum. Even the old family radiogram still holds pride of place in a bedroom. “With dad (Hector, who died in 1973) away, mum used to tune in to war time broadcasts,” said Austin, fiddling with a touch of melancholy at a large wire aerial. Mrs Henstridge was fluent in Japanese, so she monitored Japanese radio, passing any worthwhile information to military authorities. The home remains very much in its original condition and deliberately has been left this way. “Old Blake was a dour Scot and one can see how the house reflects this,” Austin said. “It was built to be functional, without too many of the trappings.” With the property – which also has a “granny flat” on its eastern boundary – now on the market, Austin said it had been decided to leave it as it stood rather than attempt any renovation. “We felt any purchaser could at least see for themselves what needs to be done and make judgements on
AUSTIN Henstridge outside the family home in Humphrey street and right, at the top of stairs to one of the cellars, where vintage port was stored. This has since been removed.
Grand old dame will share her secrets
the restoration process.” There’s no denying some of the rooms need plenty of elbow grease and the recent drought has caused some cracking. Cellars will need attention – but it is unlikely Austin will leave any supplies of the vintage port still hidden down there! An inspection of one cellar also revealed a hot water service Austin estimates to have remained in place and good working order “for about 50 years.” Interior layout features three bedrooms, sleepout, dining and lounge room with bay window.And the house runs entirely on rainwater – a fact, claims Austin, which ensured the longevity of the hot water service. “Except for the loo, which was installed in the late 50s and is connected to the mains,” Austin revealed. Originally the header tank was filled with a hand pump. “Mum said it took 50 pumps to do the washing up and 200-odd for a
shower,” he said. “The laundry was a copper in the shed, which was also home to a short-drop toilet, with the night cart man calling regularly to take away the business. “There’s an oversize septic, installed when the place was a boarding house before the war.” Balaklava resident Daphne Clarke recently contacted the Plains Producer after a letter was published inquiring about a boarding house “at 28 Humphrey street.” Daphne recalls the late local identity Ira Parker and his brother Keith boarding there when attending school during the week, then travelling home to the family farm near Long Plains at weekends. The house also was to have at one stage become a hospital. In the 1940s a Dr Joschke headed a group that was to purchase the place and convert it into a private hospital – when three phase power was connected and the verandahs extended for patients to take sun. Austin takes up the story: “It seems the good doctor came to grief while on a single handed cruise aboard his yacht, somewhere off Queensland,” he said. “Rumour has it he was taken by a shark.”
Way back then: THIS is a selection of just some of the events that changed the world back in 1875/76: •The latest in sea-travel was the sail-assisted steamer. • Ernest Giles made his exploratory walk from Beltana in SA to Perth in WA. •The Smith brothers, from just outside of Maitland, revealed their revolutionary “stumpjump plough” at the Moonta Show. •In a national first, trade unions were permitted to be created and registered in SA. •The first Oakbank race was held. •The overland telegraph was not quite linking Perth and Adelaide – by ‘77 all colonies connected. •SA’s population was not quite 250,000.
* Some historical facts sourced from Balaklava Change and Challenge.”
Balaklava pioneers in list of owners The original Certificate of Title shows Hector Henstridge purchased the house from Balaklava newsagent Aloysius John McNeill in June 1946 It seems the house could have been built around 1875/76. First titleholder to the land was recorded as William Adolphus Paqualin, Balaklava’s first auctioneer, who transferred title on July 25, 1876, to Luke Dellow, a butcher, whose shop was on the corner of Wallace and George streets. Walter Blake, described on the title as a machinist, took ownership on September 10, 1878. Walter, born in Scotland in 1851, came to Balaklava via Smithfield and set up business in Edith terrace in 1876. There remains evidence today of Walter’s heritage, with leadlight windows in the front of
the house bearing motifs of Scottish thistles and inside, distinctive items of metalwork from his foundry. The Blake business grew, employing as many as 40 men making all manner of agricultural equipment, as well as windmills and buggies. Walter was involved throughout the community, serving on council and also operating as an undertaker and running a general store. He was quite the man of his times. One can imagine the meetings and conversations which transpired at number 28 Humphrey street. In March 1888, the year Walter became a JP, title to the property was transferred to Walter’s wife, Marian Blake (nee Smith). The faded, and in parts barely legible title,
shows Kybunga farmer Richard Roberts as executor of Marian’s will. She died in 1897 – but it appears Walter Blake and his son, Joseph Blake, listed as residing in Ballarat, Victoria, again took ownership in 1904. There is no indication of events in between. On November 3, 1920, Walter and Joseph Blake transferred the house and land to farmer Richard Wood, of Woods, near Owen. Richard died on December, 28, 1928, and the house was left to William Henry Wood, farmer, and Lucy Wood, spinster, the executors, both listed as living at Prospect. By October 1939, with the world about to embark on years of war, the house was transferred to Mr McNeill, the newsagent mentioned in our report.

Cathy plays 500th game for the Cats
Olivia, Megan excel on a national level Two local Annesley College students have been excelling on the State sporting scene. Hoyleton youth Olivia Thompson, 16, is making her mark in the Australian basketball arena, while fellow boarder Megan Hall of Riverton has been noticed by State selectors for touch football. Olivia has been selected in the Australian U17 women’s basketball team to compete in the 2009 FIBA Oceania Championship in Brisbane. Happy and overwhelmed with her selection in the Australian team, the six foot forward wasn’t expecting an invitation to attend an Australian Institute of Sport selection camp. “It’s a dream come true,” she said. Olivia is one of 12 girls across the nation invited to attend the camp to try-out for a scholarship at the AIS in Canberra. “I wasn’t expecting it and it’s an honour to be asked,” Olivia said. Megan has been selected in the South Australian U18 touch football team to compete in the National Championships later this year. Megan had been brought up playing touch in Riverton before moving to Adelaide for school. She tried out for the State side earlier this year and was recently informed of her success. The National Touch Championships will be held in Port Macquarie in September and she is looking forward to the challenge. Olivia will attend a three day training camp on the Gold Coast before the FIFA Oceania competition from August 20-22 in Brisbane. Australia will play three games against New Zealand and if Australia comes out on top, Olivia will travel with the team to France to represent Oceania in the 2010 FIBA World Championships. “Both girls truly love their sport and have worked hard to achieve their personal best,” Annesley College principal Linda Douglas said.

Blyth Snowtown Cats netball player Cathy Agnew played her 500th senior game on Saturday against South Clare in the B2. Cathy lined up in her usual GK position and ran through a fitting banner for the milestone. The match was tight, and while the South Clare girls tried hard they could not spoil the party for Cathy as BS won by three goals. Cathy is the first member of the Cats Club to reach this milestone (since record keeping began). Cathy has played all of her 30 plus years of netball for Blyth Netball and Blyth/Snowtown Netball Clubs, and has been a valuable club member. Winning 12 premierships during her time for the Clubs has included seven A1 premierships, and Cathy was also successful as a playing coach for the NENA Masters team when they were victorious at the Country Champs in 2002. Cathy has also been a great contributor to the game of netball, and a conscientious member of the Blyth and Blyth/Snowtown Netball Clubs. She has held the position of president and secretary of Blyth Netball Club and has been a Blyth Snowtown Committee member for most of the club’s 14 years. During this time she has held the position of president for three years, club reporter, club delegate to NENA and coached A2, B1, B2, C1. At Association level, she has taken on the role as reporter and treasurer on separate occasions, as well as playing coach for the Country Championship Masters’team on several occasions Cathy has left no stone unturned as she has shown to been a consistent umpire dur-
CATS netballer Cathy Agnew. ing those 500 games, and has also taken on the role of club umpire co-ordinator for several years. For her great commitment to the club and the association, she was awarded NENA Volunteer of the Year in 2007, Blyth/Snowtown Volunteer of the Year in 2001 and awarded life membership of Blyth/Snowtown Netball Club in 2008. Cathy has been a great inspiration for many netballers and enjoys being part of the club. This also has transpired off the court as Cathy has enjoyed many an after party of a premiership, win or lose, and even when she is not playing in a team on grand final day, she continues to celebrate or commiserate with them! After her 500 games her team mates and friends joined her for a champagne to celebrate her great achievement. During the last few years Cathy has struggled with nagging calf, achilles and ankle injuries, but has battled through the pain and tape removal to carry on. Cathy is a true blue defender and is a formidable opponent as her opposing goaler steps on to the court. She has been seen trying to throw a few goals during her career but this generally doesn’t last for very long! Congratulations to Cathy on her 500th game – she has at least a few more games in her body yet!

Mallala’s proud history
F
rom the days when guernseys were hand knitted and flooded rivers occasionally prevented players from making it to the matches, Mallala Football Club has gone from strength to strength as it celebrates its centenary year. The football club is the only club in the Adelaide Plains Football League to remain with the league for its duration - and to stick with the same colours. Like all clubs, Mallala is proud of its history, from the days when players would sit on the back of Sam Angus’s cart to get to the matches, through the years of petrol rationing, to today when Mallala arguably fields the strongest A grade side in the league with a combination of players whose families have had a long association with the club to those who have joined the team in more recent years. In celebrating its centenary year, the club has put together ‘Mallala Football Club, a Centenary History 1909-2009’. It was launched after the club’s

Sam Angus’s cart was used to transport players in the early 1900s. centenary celebration match against United earlier this year – although the match itself didn’t go to plan, with Mallala suffering its first loss for the year. In 1909, the players’ list reveals many names still associated with the club, including Angus, Franks, and Irish. In the early days, the ovals in the association were natural grasses, including clovers, three corner jacks, and at Mallala, coconut grass, which
proved challenging. In the 1930s, umpires travelled by bike from Adelaide for the finals, and during the Depression, an umpire was allegedly offered five pounds at the pub to “influence” the result. Like other clubs, Mallala Football Club had to postpone football during both the first and second world wars, but while other clubs came and went through the years, Mallala remained strong
1913: Mallala made its annual visit to Victor Harbor, where the club was defeated 8.13 to 0.1. 1914: A concert was held to cover the year’s dray expenses. 1920: Curfews were in place even then, when it was moved by the club that “if a concert or dance be held on a Friday night, if a player is picked to play football on the Saturday, he must think of the club and go home early.” 1923: The River Light was in flood, a car was washed away, and Mallala, Calomba and Long Plains were cut off because Adelaide road had washed away. The grandstand was built the same year. 1967: Trevor Coleman played his 200th game after missing only two games in his football career.

Peckers’ finals hopes on thin ice Roosters take victory by one point By Hen Peckered Balaklava cost themselves the chance of victory in a crucial match against a side above them on the premiership ladder. Some unusual umpiring decisions caused uncharacteristic discipline issues, costing at least five goals during the match. The last quarter in particular, when the Roosters made their charge being five goals down, proved the Peckers’ downfall, going down by one point, putting their finals aspirations on thin ice. The Roosters looked good early, showing lots of pace, some excellent passing and strong leads giving their side some early opportunities. Not to be outdone, the Peckers also showed some good ball movement. Ben Catford kicked three goals for the quarter and Vinny Taylor two out of the centre. Aaron Hand who was presented well at full forward. Kicked the Roosters first, and Lee Allmond’s brilliance when he kicked a goal around the corner to give his side their second goal. For the Peckers Luke Evans started well in defence on Travis Uren, and Hayden Walker in ruck again was doing his part. Balaklava 5-2, Two Wells 2-1. The Roosters started well Aaron Hand proving a handfull for his opponent, but an illegal shepherd on the goal line robbing him of a goal. A brilliant mark by Justin Anthony went unrewarded when he hit the post, however, he made amends soon after with the aid of two 50 metre penalties. The Peckers were desperate in defence led by Jed Rowland and Jamie Tiller. Aaron Hand again marking and putting his side within one goal of the Peckers. Two centre clearances by the Peckers brought them the next two goals stopping the Roosters advance, but a free late in the quarter in the goal square gave the
Roosters their third goal for the quarter, trailing by two at half time. Balaklava 7-5, Two Wells 5-5. The brothers Khan and Tallon Leighton were using their pace well to give Two Wells drive, but the Peckers’ height was starting to cause problems for the Roosters. Brenton Lamond was grabbing some strong contested marks and bringing his team mates into the game with some effective handballs. Goals to Jonathon Brice and Bradey Scott and Paul McLean gave the Peckers a handy lead at the nine minute mark. Jonathon Brice added his third goal working his opponent Tallan Leighton hard. The Peckers opened up a handy lead. A late goal to Aaron Hand from a free kick after the siren was a boost for the Roosters at three quarter time. Balaklava 11-9, Two Wells 6-9. The final quarter was a perfect start for the Roosters. Adam Humzy delivering a pass to Stephen Lange for a goal within the first minute. The Peckers could only reply with points from set shots. Aaron Hand, again leading and marking strongly converted for his fourth, narrowing the lead. A crucial moment at the centre bounce saw one of the Peckers’ best, mid-fielder Vinny Taylor stretchered from the ground with a serious ankle injury which could end his season. This seemed to upset the Peckers along with confusing umpire decisions,. Balaklava’s renowned discipline suddenly shattered, some undisciplined play assisting the Roosters to two goals from Ned Seccafein, two brilliant snaps, and a fifth goal to Aaron Hand. A goal to Ben Spiteri also aided by a 50 metre penalty gave the Roosters a one point lead with one minute to play. The final play of the game summed up the Peckers’ quarter, with a clear mark to Jonathon Evans in the goal square disallowed, the siren sounding with the Peckers one point and a win away from a possible finals berth. Final scores, Balaklava 12-13, Two Wells 12-14.

By Pecked Out. The game started with Two Wells kicking to the southern end of the ground with the aid of a two to three goal breeze. Two Wells were into attack straight away with Steve Larrett kicking their first goal. Their onballers and half forward flankers were getting first to the ball and had Balaklava on the defensive foot early. When Balaklava did get possessions, their short kicking to a target was very poor. Balaklava’s Travis Zerk at centre half back and Two Wells’ Shaun Nickolas at centre half forward was proving to be an interesting match up, with Nickolas using his height and experience early to kick a good goal on the run and then back it up with another set shot goal. Kerry Michalanney of Balaklava kicked their first goal going into the wind. Some good defensive marking from Pete Georg across half back for Balaklava stopped some of Two Wells’ run. Two Wells’ smaller players in Cameron Lamont were running well around the ball and setting up some attacking play with accurate hand ball and foot skills. Balaklava gained another goal late in the quarter through Daniel Tezacker. The tempo of the game increased around the ball up in the second quarter, with Kaden Zerk for Balaklava and Ross Coleman for Two Wells going in hard in the ruck contests. Two Wells appeared to be carrying on where they left of in the last quarter, with accurate foot passing paying off going into their forward lines – Shaun Polly kicking a good goal on the run into the wind. Jared Cmrlec of Balaklava kicked a good goal with the wind to really get Balaklava revved up. Then it was a run of goals with Gib Palmer’s snap shot for a goal a highlight of the quarter. Some stout defending from Two Wells’ Brian Warneke across their half back – in particular a smother and a good run off the ball – stopped Balaklava from kicking more. Balaklava, kicking six goals for the quarter, were starting to gain the upper hand. Balaklava’s Leigh Wright kicked a good set shot goal into the wind early in the third quarter, in part thanks to some great running football from Balaklava’s Jared Cmrlec. Both sides’ on-ballers were still going in hard around the ball ups.
Two Wells were attacking into their forward line, however inaccurate kicking was starting to creep into their game. Travis Zerk had tightened up on his opponent in S. Nickolas at half back and using his pace was running off him and creating some attacks into half forward. Another great tussle for the quarter was Two Wells Luke Saunders at full forward and Balaklava’s Luke Simon at full back. With only one goal each, both sides fought it out in a stalemate for the quarter. Both sides came out desperate in the final quarter, with Polly and Franklin for Two Wells breaking clear with some great running football through the centre and half forward to set up Larrett with another goal. Zerk and Coleman were still going in hard at the ruck contests, and the desperation for the ball on the ground from both sides was increasing as the quarter wore on. Cmrlec kicked another good goal on the run for Balaklava, as did Grant Wilmer to keep Balaklava’s nose just in front. Despite some desperate defensive work from Two Wells’ Warneke and Tommy Taylor, Balaklava just edged out winners in a tightly fought contest. Both sides played a great free flowing style of football, with Two Wells’ inaccurate kicking at goal in the third quarter being their downfall. For Two Wells, Polly played well along with Larrett up forward and Coleman who rucked all day. Balaklava’s best was Cmrlec on the ball and also kicking four goals, and Travis Zerk across half back.

First versus second, the undefeated Peckers looking to continue their winning streak and the confident Two Wells Roosters coming off a thrashing of Virginia the week before. However, it was the Peckers with the aid of slight breeze who set the tone of the match in the first quarter. Tom Lloyd and Jack Jenner challenged Ben Slattery in ruck with Sam Rowland and the hard working Brayden Koch clearing the ball, the Peckers had plenty of opportunities up forward. Char Ruiz proved a real focal point kicking two early goals and Luke Guy continued his impressive form, the Peckers opening up a 28 point margin by quarter time. The Peckers were playing in front
and using some excellent team work, a trend that continued for all four quarters, to gradually kick away from their much bigger opponents. The Roosters game in patches showed some excellent team work as well. Ruckman Ben Slattery giving his all and Luke Tassell, wingman/forward working extremely hard to try and lift his side. An interesting tactic during the third quarter was using league leading goal kicker Shannon Schroeter loose in defence – a tactic that appeared not to work as the Peckers found other avenues to attack and kick goals. This took away the Roosters opportunity to score – with only one point added for the quarter. The difference between the sides probably was the complete team effort of the Peckers over four quarters with no passengers, while the Roosters had too few contributing in the 42 point loss. Final scores, Balaklava 12-11, Two Wells 6-5.

wind, after a good passage of play from full back - with Karpany doubling his tally for match. Nixon and Bromley were creating plenty of options for the visitors up forward; as was Karpany for the Peckers, and Caleb McPharlin was also trying hard around the ground. Although the game was starting to break open by half time, the second half was a bit more closely fought on the scoreboard. Two Wells only kicked the one major through young Josh Pellizzari in the third quater, while Balaklava could only manage the solitary point. The Roosters were sharing things around with Mark Wylie and Dillion Taylor playing well. Balaklava’s Karpany kept working up forward with limited opportunities and T Michael ran hard around the ground, leading from the front. Despite the last quarter being hard fought, Two Wells did manage the only the scoring for the quarter, kicking one goal six points. To the Peckers’ credit they never gave up, with T Michael finishing off a good captain’s game and Krieg down back repelling a lot of Two Wells attacks. Bromley kicked his second major for the visitors and was good up forward, while Calvett finished off a great running game. Although the mercy rule did not ‘kick in’, it ended up being a comfortable 46 point victory for the very strong Two Wells side.
By Mer C Rule Two Wells 8-13 defeated Balaklava on their home turf, 2-3. Balaklava kicked with the breeze in the first quarter, however Two Wells ended up with the honours with a lot more play in their forward lines. The Roosters did however only manage two majors, with Lachlan Goss kicking both of these, whilst Corey Karpany booted Balaklava’s solitary goal. This was primarily due to good running play by Bradley Calvett and skilful forward play by Goss. Tate Michael worked hard for the home side, as did Bradey Krieg mopping up in the backlines. Tw o Wells made good use of the breeze in the second term, with Travis Nixon addPECKER ing two majors and Tom Lane Bradley Calvett and kicks away Devaughan Bromley chiming in with during the one each.

Junior Bombers notch up another win Junior Colts
The game began with Hamley kicking with the wind. In the first quarter the ball was mainly contested in Hamley’s forward half. There was a great goal by Sam Collings which fired the team up. The quarter finished with Hamley up by 10 points. The second quarter didn’t start very well for the Tigers with Sam Collings converting another great goal on the run. Hamley controlled the second quarter by keeping United to not scoring at all in the quarter. The third started like it finished in the second with Hamley kicking a quick goal. James Bugeja was giving his all to try to get the ball down to the forward line for the Tigers but Hamley were just too good in the back line. There was a good play unfolding though Nick Curnow but the siren sounded before they could have converted. At three quarter time Hamley were up by the mercy rule. The final term began with Hamley kicking yet another goal. James Hunter and Cory Sharer were fighting hard in the final term for United. United fought harder in the last quarter TRISTAn but Hamley Bell, Hamley had a well deserved Bridge looks win. back toward

A1: This was a close game until the last quarter and packed with plenty of excitement. In the end Balaklava was unable to keep up with Two Wells, who won by 11. Balaklava started well with good movement around the ring and turnovers through the midcourt. Balaklava goalies, Jenna Koch GS and Eliza Cottle GA, were shooting well and there were strong passes into the ring. However, this did not show on the quarter time score with Two Wells ahead by one goal. Bal 14, TW 15. Tara Baldwin, WD made some great intercepts for Balaklava and good rebounds from their goalies. Despite some mistakes from the Balaklava side, scores were level at half time. GA for Two Wells shot well. Bal 23, TW 23. Jane Harding came on at GS for Balaklava and played well. Fantastic turnovers from both teams. Two Wells just sneaking ahead. Bal 30, TW 34. Two Wells started well with four goals before Balaklava scored. Great defensive work from both sides. Two Wells shooters were very accurate. Bal 37, TW 48. A2: Great defence from Two Wells GK Angela Phillis and GD Sandee Gallagher. Lauren Michael produced good intercepts in centre for Balaklava. Accurate shooting by Two Wells GS Jess Newman. Bal 9, TW 13. Two Wells dominated the court with strong movement led by Two Wells C Carly Smith. Bal 17, TW 28. Strong leads through the centre. Louise Read made some good turnovers for Balaklava in GD but inaccurate shooting didn’t make them count. Bal 29, TW 41. Balaklava made changes to almost their entire team, which gave them a great run on and outscored Two Wells in this quarter. Great play from Merridy Manuel, Balaklava WD. However, Two Wells was too far in front and took the win by 7. Bal 43, TW 50. A3: An explosive start by both teams kept the game tight. Balaklava GS
was struggling to capitalise on shot opportunities with Two Wells also struggling to sink the shots. Ten minutes in Two Wells continued to edge ahead. Balaklava fought back. Standout players Balaklava GA Kate Cmrlec and C Alana Pollard. Bal 10, TW 12. Top defensive pressure down the court by Balaklava and increased accuracy aided them to an early break. Two Wells goalies finding great position. Standout players Balaklava GS Tania Robertson and Two Wells GD Di Handow. Messy with intensity increased at the start by both teams desperate for the ball. Balaklava goalies were on fire, capitalising on nearly every shot early in the quarter, but they battled to sink them as the game continued. Great contest between centres. Two Wells entered the fourth quarter determined to peg back and GS for Two Wells shooting beautifully. Confusion regarding an injury time out ramped up the intensity on the court with Two Wells sneaking the win by two. Bal 43, TW 45. A4: Balaklava shooters were off to a good start with Sameka Colley backing them up. Two Wells worked hard but Balaklava was all over loose balls. Angela Battle was back from injury at centre. Bal 12, TW 7. Two Wells made good changes at the break, bringing on Kia Roberts and Cristie Castle who evened up the second quarter. Two Wells GS, Robyn Champion had a great quarter. Bal 23, TW 17. Another strong start from Two Wells making some great intercepts, which enabled them to catch up. Bal 31, TW 30. A fast and furious start with both teams keen to get ahead. Two Wells GS Robyn Champion was off her goals for the first time in the game. Both teams gave 100%. Balaklava GD Lee-anne McCracken was a standout player for the quarter. Final score: TW 42, Bal 39. A5: Balaklava made a
good start. Pauline Florence played well in centre. Two Wells fought back in the second with great shooting from GS Sarah Dinham. Rebecca Anderson and Abbie Tiller moved the ball well down the court to create goal opportunities for Balaklava. Bal 23, TW 21. Both teams made a lot of changes at half time. Two Wells GD Jamie Dinham stopped nearly all of Balaklava’s attack efforts and accurate shooting by Two Wells goalies saw them with a 14 goal lead. Two Wells continued to play well but did not extend their lead any further in the last quarter, taking victory by 14. Balaklava 31, TW 45. B: A wonderful game to watch, played in good spirits by both sides. Two Wells caught up in the last quarter – a win by Balaklava in the end by only four. Both sides played well in good conditions for netball. Good interceptions from both teams and accuracy in goals. Bal 11, TW 10. Second quarter saw much different style of play from both sides. A lot of loose passes and turnovers were lost by poor passes. Bal 22, TW 15. Both sides made slight changes. Players panicked and rushed their passes instead of waiting for a clear lead. No standout players this quarter with all girls giving equal efforts. Bal 29, TW 23. More positional changes by both sides. Maddi Veitch was set free from GK to GD and looked like she enjoyed the extra play, defending hard. Tess Lawson went into centre and also played well and seemed to enjoy that position. Sherni Kent for Two Wells shot well all match. Jessica Walker-Smith was moved to WD for Two Wells and her extra height was an
advantage down the court. Bal 36, TW 32. C1: Good defence by both teams, with many turnovers. Shooting by Balaklava goalies GS Tayla Pascoe and Shauni Tiller was successful. Zoe Grant defended well as GD for Two Wells. Bal 6, TW 4. Balaklava scored the first two goals. Two Wells fought back scoring 3 in a row. Standout play by WD Gemma Freebairn for Balaklava. Bal 13, TW 9. Balaklava made lots of changes resulting in many turnovers and scrappy netball. Two Wells C Madeliene Secafien achieved several turnovers. Balaklava settled first and pulled away to a handy lead. Bal 22, TW 12. Two Wells goalies Emily Clarke and Tayla Guy worked well in the ring. Both teams played well but Balaklava were too strong, stretching their lead to win by 18. Bal 34, TW 16. C2: Sophie Parker scored first. Sharp passing by both teams. Good defense by Kristie Selleck and Two Wells GK. Tayla McBride passing well. Two Wells WA made strong passes and created space. Good pressure late in the quarter by Balaklava. Bal 1, TW 1. Good defence from Hannah Mellier, Balaklava WA. Syjorn Renshaw passing well. Balaklava goalies, Sophie Parker and Alicia Davey, combined well producing four more goals. Bal 5, TW 1.

Under near-perfect conditions and with the course looking to be in mint condition, over 35 players turned out for Round 1 of the Club Championships “Stroke” event, the prestigious Eddie Dennison Putting Trophy and according to the Book, yet another Royal Hotel Trophy - how good are these people?!. We assembled before being herded off in five separate fields, Grades A, B and C, Ladies and Juniors - almost like the good ol’ days and very pleasing to see. The A Grade clan was led back indoors by Ian Michael (85/72), followed through the front door by “Rotten Ron” Butterworth (86/73) and the everpersistent Peter Lamont (85/75). Up the garden path behind them came M. Smith ((92/77), W. Nagle (93/77), M. Hameister (95/80), J. Michael (97/81), W. Parkin (84/82), M. Loy (96/84) and D. Taylor (97/86). From among the ball-belting B Graders emerged a smiling Dean Trickett (94/73), a grinning Dave Rodgers (94/74) and a Mona Lisa-faced Les Masson (98/78). Making faces at these luminaries were S. Jonas (99/78), G. Toms (99/79), S. Michael 98/79), T. Michael (100/82) and G. Anderson (110/88). Superior C Grade shot-play rewarded Corey Temby with a new golf ball or two for his 101/65 result, which nudged young Barrie Thompson (97/67) into second spot and Callum Michael ( 95/71) even further from the limelight into third. Stumbling around in the dark were D. Addison (98/73), A. Henstridge (100/74), A. Manuel (99/75), J. Neale (110/75), S. Purdue (112/76), D. Goudie (102/79) and M. Hahesy (120/84). Our three Juniors fought it out to a stand-still, with Jordan Taylor still standing thanks to his 121/81 effort, a tad better than Jordan Wilson’s 127/88 and Jake Michael’s 144/104 results. The five-strong Ladies field saw Cathy Redpath emerge the strongest with a score of 72, followed by Norma Taylor (73), Patricia Anderson (75), Chris Hahesy (77) and Joan Anderson (79). Only one man was capable of hitting a Birdie and that man emerged in the magnificent form of our mighty Murray Smith, who claimed the 8th green as his own, taking out Nearest the Pin fame as well. This left Ron Butterworth to get a NTP on the 3rd, Austin Henstridge on the 10th and Peter Lamont on the 17th. Murray Smith earned even further glorification by sharing the Eddie Dennison Putting Competition with the lithe, laconic Les Masson, both men needing only 26 putts over the journey. Now for the Club Championship results, starting with, in due deference to their superior dress sense, the A Graders. Bill Parkin’s 84 off the stick placed him in top spot, followed by Peter Lamont and Ian Michael with 85 apiece. From the B Grade grouping came one winning Wayne Nagle (93), leaving Dave Rodgers and Dean Trickett to fill the latter two places with 94 apiece. The C Grade collective was headed in by Callum Michael with 95, followed hot-foot by Barrie Thompson (97) and the determined Digby Addison (98). This weekend we’ll re-assemble for Round 2 of the Club Championship and I believe, the Balaklava Transport Trophy. Starters are to be Scott Michael and Austin Henstridge, while for your table bookings later in the day (try 7.30pm), you know, the absolutely fabulous Auction and Cabaret Night, please contact Janice Smith on 8862 1733 - she’s never too busy to take your call!

Two Wells
Results from August 8. Competition: Par. Sponsor: Lange Auto. Players: 34: CCR: 6 up. The course looked great in fine conditions but surprisingly was quite hard after a couple of days of sunny weather and there was plenty of run. Vince Hatch made a comeback after retiring the week before after playing the Two Wells Open on Sunday. He played well enough not to retire again and will be back next week. I think we’ve all been there. Chris Girling decided it had been long enough between wins and took out A Grade with 6 up, birdie on the 3rd, the poultry voucher and the members’ draw. Runner up was Bob Hogg with 4 up and then Vince Hatch 3 up on countback from John Ball, Scott Abbott and Dave Perry. Bob Hogg also bagged an eagle on the 9th Par 5 hole and, being the quiet shy person he is, really needed his arm twisted to let people know about it. B Grade was convincingly won with 11 up by Craig Doudle who lost 1.5 off his handicap and will be in A Grade next week. Ian Clarke came second with 8 up and also moves up into A Grade next week. Adam Bail was 3rd with 4 up. Steve Sando continued his steady improvement in C Grade to win with 7 up from Bingo Barns 5 up and Brian Prior 2 up. There were two match plays for places in the semi-finals: Adam Bail defeated Scott Abbott 2 and 1 in a tight match and Stuart Grigg defeated Hans Linford at the 18th hole after a titanic see-sawing match where both players had chances until the last hole saw Hans put his second shot right behind a tree trunk and concede. This week sees our annual Exacto Cup match against Owen to be played at Two Wells from Midday on Saturday and a sponsors day on Sunday 16 August. Sorry Owen boys, the cup will be staying at Two Wells, but come and enjoy the competition. Today’s results: A Grade: 6 up C.

Grand final rematch at Lochiel Magpies looking good for premiership, but Eagles could upset HWE v Mallala (Lochiel)
In the third 2009 re-match of 2008 grand finalists, Mallala will travel to Lochiel to take on an Eagles side that is desperate to finish the year in fourth place. While the Magpies have the minor premiership all but sewn up, a win this week for the Eagles at Lochiel may be more crucial than you think! The Magpies will certainly not want the Eagles (who upset them in last year’s grand final) to take any part in finals action this season – after all, last season the Eagles showed just how important finals experience can be against relatively young sides when it comes to September. Although you cannot discount the effect the Rams and Roosters may have on this year’s major round, many will be watching the Eagles with interest should they scrape in! With Balaklava and United also still in the hunt for fourth spot Mallala can effectively put a nail in the Eagles finals coffin should they defeat their 2008 nemesis on Saturday. A Mallala win will not only mean they are one step closer to seeing the back of the Eagles in 2009, a Magpie win will of course maintain a mental edge should the unexpected miraculously happen and the two sides did meet again this year! Certainly last time they met at Mallala the Magpies had the Eagles covered keeping them to just four goals for the match. A similar team style game from Mallala will hold them in good stead this time around although we are yet to see the effect that recent injuries will have on the Magpies side. Losing key playmaker Joel Montgomerie (who tragically needs a knee reconstruction) and centre half forward Brad Griffiths (broken collarbone) both in recent weeks will have some effect on the Magpies and their hopes of making amends for last year’s shock grand final loss. This week’s match will tell us a lot more about just how well the Magpies can cover these two losses. This will certainly be a ‘big game’! You would expect Mallala to win and with the two match points claim their second minor premiership in as many years, however if the Eagles happened to upset the Magpies and cause their second upset in as many

Kiss Of Death Mallala by 25 pts United by 10 pt Two Wells by 60 pts weeks they will certainly be hard to topple for that last finals place! Last time they met: June 27, Mallala 16.9 (105) d HWE 4.11(35) at Mallala.
United v Balaklava
It is fair to say the loser of this week’s match at Long Plains is almost gone! While it sounds harsh mathematics will tell you that a loss for either United or Balaklava this weekend will mean it will be extremely hard for either side to finish in fourth place and have a chance at 2009 finals glory! While last week’s result for the Tigers went to script Hummocks’ win over Virginia and Balaklava’s one point loss to the Roosters has thrown the script for these two sides into disarray. Now as it stands there is only one way out – and that is to win this week! With Balaklava still to play the Bombers and United to themselves meet the Eagles in the last minor round game, fourth spot the season is still alive for the winner – just who that will be is anyone’s guess. Both teams have ‘one home win each’ in their battles so far this season. The Tigers defeated Balaklava by 53 points in the season opener at Long Plains while the Peckers then reversed the result in their last encounter at Balaklava leading from start to finish on that day eventually winning by 46 points. In game one United’s run and carry through players like Mansfield, Sobey and
Pym cut apart the Peckers, while in their last clash Balaklava’s midfield desperation through McLean, McPharlin and Catford meant they had first use of the pill. If both teams can field near full strength sides then they both match up remarkably even as each have big ruckmen, capable midfields, big marking forwards and strong and experienced defenders. In what has been an even season it will be a shame to see one of these two sides go – especially as both would rate themselves as having an impact if they do reach the finals! Barring any omissions through injury it is fair to say the winner may well be the side that wants it the most. Last time they met: June 27, Balaklava 19.10 (124) d United 11.12 (78) at Balaklava.
Hamley Br v Two Wells
Two Wells are officially there and will play finals football for the first time since 2006 – a season in which they made the preliminary final. While many expected the Roosters to perhaps be a part of September both last year and in 2007 the young Roosters have taken a little more time to “come on” despite showing an array of youthful talent and enthusiasm over the course of the last three seasons! Certainly this season they look more mature and no doubt this season they look as though they have ‘arrived’ mentally after seeing off experienced finals bound sides in United and Balaklava on more than one occasion each this season. The Roosters deserve their finals place and they now look ahead to this week’s match against Hamley Bridge with an eye on a possible top two finish. While they would need to win well and rely on Virginia dropping games in the next three weeks the Roosters can finish second if all the stars align. Their opponents the Bombers will be looking to finish the season as strong as they can. With an amount of junior talent still developing at Bomber land it is important for the Bombers to remain positive in the coming weeks despite being in line to collect a third consecutive wooden spoon in 2009! Last time they met: June 27, Two Wells 31.8 (194) def. Hamley Bridge 6.12 (48) at Two Wells.

Eagles in finals swoop • From Back Page James Knappstein also applied some great pressure to the Rams on many levels throughout the four quarters. Eagle ruckman Sean Light, who was under an injury cloud midweek, rucked the whole day to be amongst the Eagles best while captain Shane Braham and Matthew Higgs (who did a magnificent job at centre half forward in the absence of Shaun Price) both played typical games. Joe Hunt who played deep in the Eagles forward line for the second week in a row kicked six goals to back up his 12 goal haul from the week prior. While the disappointment in losing to the Eagles for a second time this year would have set in after the match, the Rams can take heart in knowing that barring another slip up they are still odds on to finish in the APFL’s top two and give themselves a chance of advancing straight into the ‘big one’ come September. Mark Cocchiaro was the standout Rams player on Saturday along with Chris Musolino and youngster Robbie Desmond who was again very impressive. Rams skipper Matty Young was reasonably well held in the match and for the first time in many weeks Anthony Johnston was not amongst the Rams’ best and Anton Gerardis failed to kick a single major. When the finals roll around if the Rams do happen to meet the Eagles again at some stage it will certainly make things interesting with the Eagles defeating the Rams on their last two occasions.
Roosters grabbed chance
jamie Humphrys takes a mark for Two Wells during the under 11’s game at Balaklava.
Once side that will be hoping the Eagles don’t meet the Rams in the finals would be Two Wells who mathematically “sured up” their 2009 finals berth and third spot with a one point victory over Balaklava. The visiting Roosters came from six goals down at three quarter time to defeat the home side in what was an important clash (more so for the Peckers than the Roosters). In a contentious last quarter Balaklava became somewhat undisciplined, giving away numerous 50 metre penalties which saw the Roosters turn what was a “faint sniff” into a realistic chance. While some Balaklava players and supporters obviously thought the umpires had too much of a
say in proceedings the umpires took a no nonsense approach and penalised the hot headed and emotional Peckers often. It was the Roosters’ second one-point victory this season and the second match in which they have defeated Balaklava by less than a kick. Lee Allmond who is in career best form played yet another sensational game for his side as did Khan Leighton whose run and drive was very important. Opportunist forward Scott Wise was once again good and Ned Seccafien who returned to the Roosters side thanks to Central District Reserves having the bye also was good. Aaron “Wally” Hand kicked five goals. For Balaklava, who were unlucky to lose the match, Hayden Walker was again sensational dominating the centre square ruck duels. His tap work being near career best enabling players like Vinny Taylor to take full advantage. Defenders Jed Rowland and Jamie Tiller continued their great seasons holding up the Pecker defensive unit while Benny Lamond and Luke Evans took many strong marks – especially when Balaklava took the match ascendancy in the third term.
goals for the Tigers while Tom Guerin was also impressive with a five goal display. Wingman/defender Ben Starr and second ruckman Glen Graham were also good. For Hamley Alex Rademacher and Brett Burgess gave them solid targets up forward while Matt Norman and youngster Jed Eastwood were very impressive. Eastwood involved in some great passages of play that led to Bomber goals. These players along with Schahinger and Smith already mentioned ensured Hamley put up a good first half fight before United, who had plenty to play for, rose to the top. The Tigers are at home again this week when they host the Peckers in what will be a do or die clash!
United continues to challenge Meanwhile at Long Plains the home side United Tigers made sure their quest for fourth spot was not hindered with a 119-point win over the Bombers to keep them in the hunt for major round action in 2009. Despite the home side having it all to play for, in an even first term it was the Bombers who looked enthusiastic and energetic as they fought out an even term with the Tigers - the visitors adding four goals and one behind to look impressive, leading the Tigers by four points at the first change. The Tigers then found another gear in the second term adding an impressive seven goals to the Bombers’ one to lead by five goals at half time. After the long break the Tigers really lifted to completely blow the game open and despite the best efforts of Hamley’s Justin Schahinger and Tom Smith the Tigers ran out comfortable winners thanks to a 15 goal second half. On-baller Brad Shimmin was the standout for the Tigers while big men Brett Sharman and Will Banton took many marks and set up play in the second half – Banton finishing with five majors! Opportunist forward Jamie McArdle kicked six

Balaklava v Springstown Springstown and Balaklava took to the field for a cold but clear start. Springstown came into the game fighting hard and able to run the ball well into their offense, proving themselves quite dominant in the first half. Balaklava defence team of Tim Heslop, Jesse Shepherd, Ethan Gates and Bryce Chapman worked hard to prevent any scoring. The start of the second half saw Springstown determined to score a goal, but were unable to get past Balaklava’s last line of defence – Michael Bowden – the eliminator, proving to be very powerful in the goals. Hedley and Marni Greenshields worked well to send the ball in Balaklava’s offence but Springstown were able to turnover the ball and work it back down to their end of the field. Ethan’s showed some great stick skills in the centre as he tried to feed the ball down to the forward lines but Springstown defence would send the ball away. Unfortunately for Balaklava, Springstown’s persistance paid off and they were able to score three goals for the match, however The Eliminator foiled a number of other attempts keeping their score tally to a minimum.

Tennis Winter Night
The players were keen to play as the weather was perfect, with people actually offering to fill-in! Courtney Daniel’s Yachts faced Lisa Redpath’s Tugs with the Yachts missing their number one, Daryl Barkla. However they had recruited Leonie Selleck to fill-in, and
she did Daryl proud, not dropping a set! This match was closer than the final score indicates, with three 5-3s and two tiebreakers played. Lisa and Leonie featured in two 5-3s, while Courtney and opponent Di Taylor played in both ties, ending it one apiece. Well done to Di and Shaun Northcott on winning the Tugs’ only set in that tie. Rumour has it that Shaun and team-mate Kevyna Gardner were ‘on fire’, taking that ‘hot’ title from the Saturday grand final champ Phil Barry! Kevyna and Di were unlucky to lose the other tie to the Daniel girls, Courtney and Chris. Yachts’ Peter Rohrlach had a very even battle against Shaun with these two showing great improvement over the winter. Final score Yachts 5-30 to Tugs 1-20. Well done on a great match. The other match played saw Richard Goldney’s Ships defeat Lauren Parker’s Canoes in a tight one, 4-29 to 2-19. The Canoes’ star was Jarek who featured in both of their winning sets, one each with Steve Lawrie and Kate Taylor. Scores were level at two sets each heading into the final two, with the Ships ahead on games. The Ships, sitting at the top of the ladder, were determined not to sink, and took the last two in close 5-3s. Ships’ Cherie Cleary started like a possessed woman, and gave opponent Lauren the ‘don’t argue’ after hitting winners everywhere! Friends turned foes for the night, Richard and Steve, showed how to not let friendship get in the way of a match, with Richard taking the honours – just! Ships’ Bec Houston had more experience than her younger oppoennt Kate, although they had two close 5-3s. Diane Gregor was tactically placed at number four for the Ships, and after a slow start got her eyes in and took the all important last set with Cherie. However, the bad news for the Ships was that their muscle man, Richard, has pulled his muscle – calf that is! He went home limply, sorry limping, to try the proven metho treatment in the hope of playing next week. Premiership table: Ships 16, Yachts 14, Canoes 8, Tugs 2 Until next week when we see how Richard is walking and if Daryl is invited back into his team after Leonie’s stellar effort.…
Ladies winter
The windy day reminded the ladies of their final a few years ago that was one of the worst days in the history of tennis! At least this time we didn’t have quite the same amount of dust and it was about 10 degrees cooler! First up saw a thriller, with the absent Colleen Allen’s Cokes scrape through to defeat Helen Durdin’s Limes 3-31 to 3-26. The first three sets were all tiebreakers with the Limes taking two of them. Limes Valerie Carling and Helen, and opponents, fill-ins Kerrie Bell and Pauline Hill were pooped after featuring in two ties each! After their first set tie, Cokes Denby Wandel and Belinda May-Woidt were determined not to have another one, and gave Angela Battle and Phantomette Meriel Lane a what-for, with the latter managing to save their daks! Meriel regrouped to have a last set win with the star, Valerie, but it wasn’t quite enough! Pauline and Denby saved their best ‘til last, winning that set fairly comfortably but with some excellent rallies played. Captain Colleen may not have a spot back in her team next week after that win! Helen Barry’s Lemons have been up and down, and in and out, over the past few weeks, but that could be because their team mate Kim Eime has been out injured and sick after a self-inflicted skiing incident! This week they were ably assisted by Narelle Michael, on a bye, who played very well to pull the Lemons through for a close win over Shaz Pike’s very unlucky Sprites 4-30 to 2-23. Shaz and Lorraine Jenner were unlucky to lose a first set tiebreaker to Helen and Tess Mellow, with Lorraine turing that around in her last set with Sarah Kammermann to win yet another tiebreaker. The old girls, Sprites Rae Winen and Lemons Di Meaney were pitted against each other, with Di starting and ending well, but having a mid-match slump -– or maybe it was the other way around, with Rae slow to warm up, on fire in her second, and worn out by the third?! Helen appears to be rid of her colliwobbles shown in the last couple of weeks by playing some fantastic shots, and having a good slog against hard-hitting Shaz. Well done girls! The final match saw top team Heidi Zerk’s Solos play second to bottom Louise Michael’s Bitters, with an upset in sight, well, so the Bitters were hoping! The first two sets were identical going one apiece, but the Solos took the next two giving that sinking feeling to the Bitters. But the attitude was, ‘ what the heck, let’s just win the last two instead!’ Solos Kellie Harrison and Julie Bigg had other ideas and won the Solos deciding set, in a close 6-3 over Nikki Yates and Kathryn Mahony. Kathryn often appeared in a trance, thoughts of her upcoming trip to Europe flooding through her mind, so opponent Julie took advantage of that by making her run, angling shots wider and wider! Bitters’ Di Taylor was their star, featuring in both of her teams winning sets, one with Nikki and the other with Louise over the previously only once-beaten pair of Heidi and Melissa Moulds. Helen Barry and Di Meaney beat these two stars in a tiebreaker some time ago, but that’s the only time they’ve come second, and part of the reason Heidi’s team is top! Sensing they were looking down the barrel, Heidi pulled a muscle in a place she wouldn’t mention, other than to say it restricted her running and that was why she couldn’t chase down Di and Louise’s winning shots! Of course her opponents offered sympathy and advised her to have the metho treatment, but Heidi preferred that to be administered at home by Roly! Back to the tennis, the final marathon set saw Louise and Di scrape through 6-4 in windy conditions fit only for a kite! But it wasn’t quite enough, with the Solos winning 431 to 2-23. Well done to both teams on some great tennis! Premiership table: Solos 22, Lemons 14, Limes 12, Fantas 12, Cokes 8, Bitters 6, Sprites 4. Things will be tense this week in the last minor round game, with the Lemons having the bye, giving the Limes and Fantas a chance to make equal second spot and give the score recorer a nightmare to sort out! Remember the final on August 20, and lunch and presentations afterwards!. Until next week when we see how Heidi is walking…
North Eastern Netball Association:
South Clare runs home with nine goal win South Clare V Blyth/ Snowtown
A1: 58-49. Both teams came out firing with the first half showcasing a tight tussle between the top two teams with strong defensive pressure and accurate shooting from both sides. The first half went goal for goal and South took a 26-25 lead at half time. South were able to steady first and slowly break away in the third quarter with some tight defence in the goal circle by Sally-Anne Heinrich converting with fantastic feeding from the mid court from Amanda O’Shaughnessy in GD into Katie Liebelt in the goal circle who finished off with superb accuracy from long range. Tegan Pollard played a strong defensive game taking some crucial intercepts throughout the game. Hayley Zweck worked hard in defence for Blyth/Snowtown taking some good intercepts and keeping her side in the game.

A2: 51-42. A great start by South Clare in the first quarter taking a 13-7 goal lead. Beautiful shooting by both teams made it difficult for all defenders. Great drive through the centre for South helped them take out a nine goal win. A great game to watch with excellent skill level. B1: 42-52. A very hard fought game. South Clare are still having to adjust their play due to the loss of Belinda Dare. Blyth/Snowtown applied great defensive pressure from Kerrylee Welke and Michelle Abbott. Kayla Jenner shot well for South as did Kelly Zweck for Blyth/Snowtown. Ellie Collins applied herself well through the mid court, however Blyth/ Snowtown proved too strong and were able to take out the game by 10 goals. B2: 40-44. A great game by both teams with scores close throughout the game. Blyth/ Snowtown were able to pull away in the last quarter with excellent defensive pressure to score a four goal win. C1: 33-20. A very scrappy first quarter by both teams. Simone Bennie came on at GA and played strongly. A strongly contested game between Charmaine Angel and Cass Faulkner in the centre. Jess Andrewartha’s height made it very difficult for Blyth/Snowtown shooters and Taylor Jones was also strong in defence. C2: 38-15. Good team effort from South with excellent feeding by Janelle Virgin into the goal circle. Defence was strong with Phebe Prizibilla and Courtney Willmott teaming up with Fiona Schultz in WD. Hannah Lally shot well throughout the game. Blyth/Snowtown tried hard throughout the game however South were too strong and came out with the strong win. U15: 21-59. Blyth/Snowtown came out strong and put the first few goals on the board. South Clare steadied to score a few more goals but excellent shooting by Blyth/Snowtown allowed them to build their lead throughout the game.

A strong performance all over the court allowed Blyth/Snowtown to come away with the win.
J2: 35-8. A great game with South Clare applying great defensive pressure and strong driving by Brianna Smith. Izzy Lymburn was strong in attack and shot well. Bec Ashmeade was fantastic in defence and applied strong pressure. Blyth/Snowtown worked hard all match, however South were able to come away with convincing win. J3: 20-9.

Blyth/Snowtown worked hard throughout the match with some good shooting from goalies however South were able to take out win. J4: 27-1. South showed great determination throughout the game. Both sides passed well and kept stepping to a minimum. Ignoring the score they all stepped up to play great netball.
BBH v Min/Man
A1: BBH 37 lst MM 40. This game was close from start to finish. BBH goalies Jenna and Molly had a great tussle all game with MM defenders Maddy and Rachel. Lucy, Megan and Alice all played a great game through the centre for BBH, attacking and defending equally well. The MM goalies also had a tight contest with the BBH defenders. Overall, a great spectators game of open, fast, attacking netball. A2: BBH 30 lst MM 44. Even first half of netball with both teams missing many goals. Min Man changed goalies and GAAnita Fogden immediately made an impact. BBH goalies battled but were missing goals and Min Man defence were getting all rebounds. BBH made some changes at three quarter time, but it was too late to have any impact. Min Man had a resounding win.
RSMU V BSR
A1: RSMU 49 def BSR 33. Both teams needing a win to get the confidence up, it was always going to be a tough match. RSMU started well with making few mistakes down the court. Apart from the tough defenders, both Jessie Lee and Belinda Hickman shot very well. First quarter scores had the home team up 15 to 9. Half time BSR decided to make a change with swapping the Simone Lawry to WA and Sonya Goss to C. RSMU made no changes and saw Jacki Allen and Jess Przibilla moved and finished quite accurately making it easy for the feeders Kerry Heinrich and Elise Sandland to deliver to them. Three quarter time saw the home team up 37 to 24. excellent defending by the RSMU defenders Hannah Clark and Sarah Noack, saw lots of intercepts and turnovers making it hard for the visitors to make any easy shots. Final score saw RSMU gaining their 2nd win in a row 49 to 33. A2: 76 V 16. Great, settled start by RSMU with fantastic turnovers by Tammi and Rachel and accurate shooting gave them a 19-4 quarter time score. Excellent feeding by RSMU’s Cath and Julie made life easy for their goalies. RSMU took a stranglehold of the game and ran out easy winners. Well done girls – the squats are paying off.

InFARMation v Weekly guide to weather, agriculture Australia’s leading hay exporter
Learning to be productive in a drying climate Farmers can increase productivity and remain profitable in a dry and uncertain climate through the use of perennial plants. That’s the message from a new publication by Future Farm Industries CRC. Called “Prospects for
Perennials”, the publication is a definitive guide to incorporating perennial plants into the mixed grazing and cropping systems of southern Australia. Editor, Dr Sarita Bennett, said since perennials had deep root systems and peak growth periods
that vary across the year, they were more adaptable and better able to convert scarce and unseasonal rainfall to green feed. “Increasing the range of plants, including the total amount of perennials, is a way that farmers can begin transforming
their land to be more productive in a drying climate,” Dr Bennett said. “For example, a farmer can have a continuous source of fresh, green feed for livestock by having the right mix of perennials and annuals on the farm with differ-
ent growing seasons, so as one plant becomes dormant or dies, another starts growing in its place.” Through the use of regional overviews, case studies and economic analysis, readers can find out for themselves how perennials can add value
to their business while gaining a better understanding of how they fit into the landscape. The publication is particularly relevant to farmers who are weighing up the options for coping with unreliable rainfall and are looking for sustainable ways
Research report points finger at subsidies Farmers in highly protected industries have a demonstrated capacity to adjust to phased reductions in taxpayer support, according to a report released by the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation (RIRDC). Agricultural Industry Support and Structural Adjustment, written by David Harris, finds the number of small farms in supported countries has diminished greatly and taxpayer subsidies are increasingly going to large, high-income farms.
RIRDC managing director, Dr Peter O’Brien said the report would be a useful tool for Australia’s trade negotiators. “Australia’s farmers compete with little or no government support – this report can be used by our government to highlight to our trading partners that their farmers can as well.” The report provides case studies of the dairy industries in the US, Canada and Japan and the US sugar industry and shows that structural adjustment has oc-
curred in these industries, irrespective of government support policies. “For example there were 308,000 dairy farms in the US in 1982 compared with just 71,000 in 2007,” said Dr O’Brien. “Despite this, milk production, farm output and milk yield all increased substantially over the same period, while herd size went from an average of 36 cows per farm to 128. “What this demonstrates is concerns about adjustment pressures for farmers from reduced government support

This report explodes the myth that somehow it would be too hard for rich country farmers to adapt.” The report is available online at www.rirdc.gov.au

to remain productive. “Modelling through the CRC’s Enrichproject has shown that a typical farm located in the central WA wheatbelt with an annual rainfall of less than 300mm that has 10 percent of its land dedicated to perennial native plants can boost its whole-farm productivity by 20 percent,” Dr Bennett said. “This productivity gain is brought about by the provision of additional feed often at a time when it is most needed, such as during the summer and autumn months. Some of these plants also have the ability to reduce methane emissions and the need for antibiotics in livestock.” Email greg.lawrence@futurefarmcrc. com.au to get a copy.

weekly comment
Grain insects fight back With the possibility of more farmers using on farm storage to hold grain until they can possibly achieve a better price, the increased chance of insect infestations can occur. The frequency of strong resistance to phosphine has been detected since 1997 and is increasing in the four of the five major insect pest species. This resistance occurs throughout Eastern Australia but the Western grain region has not yet been detected as widespread. There is an expectation the number of resistant insects found will increase quickly over the next five years and are likely to appear in all grain growing areas in that time. Phosphine has remained an effective and reliable fumigant for the past 40 years and currently about 80 per cent of Australia’s stored grain is fumigated with phosphine to control grain insects to meet the market requirements. Fumigation with phosphine is still the primary means of controlling insects in stored grain, but genetic resistance towards this fumigant has emerged worldwide. Other treatments are not as widely accepted and are more expensive, so it is in the best interest of all who are associated with the grain industry to prolong the effective use and availability of phosphine. Phosphine is effective against insects in most types of grain but some oilseeds e.g. canola, linseed and cottonseed, soak up phosphine very quickly which leaves little to kill insect pests An Integrated Pest Management plan to control grain insects can prevent the build up of resistance. Having cool, dry grain, which insects do not like, and strict hygiene standards for your grain handling machinery and silos are important parts of any pest management programme. Wind and large temperature changes accelerate phosphine loss, with most lost within four days of fumigation in ordinary, unsealable storage. The levels of resistance being detected are still controllable in storages that are sealed well enough to pass a pressure test and will hold high enough concentration of phosphine to kill all stages of the insects, including resistant ones for at least seven days. Fumigation has no residual protection to stored grain so when gas levels get low enough the insects will begin breeding. The purchasing of silos which can be sealed and aerated has become essential for the grain grower who is storing more grain on farm over a longer period.

Eagles in finals swoop
Premiership class returns with victory over Virginia
I
n the match of the round at the weekend last year’s premier Hummocks Watchman Eagles got their season ‘back on track’ with a 20-point win over the second placed Virginia Rams. Clinging on to fourth place by percentage only, the Eagles who are embroiled in a ‘good old fashioned dog fight’ with United and Balaklava for the last available 2009 finals place, needed to pull off an upset of this magnitude to make a serious claim for participation in this year’s major round. In the end they not only upset Virginia to grab two crucial match points, they no doubt now have many people pondering just how interesting the 2009 finals series may be if they are able to capitalise on this result and finish in fourth place at the end of this year’s minor round. Not only would the finals hardened reigning premier have a decided mental advantage over both a young Two Wells or equally raw experienced finals side in Virginia, the Eagles would of course also have the luxury of a home first semi final on Sunday, September 6 at Lochiel. While there is still three weeks of the season to go before we will know just who will claim the much coveted fourth place, with Balaklava going down to the Roosters on the weekend

and United having a bye still to come it is fair to say the Eagles have now given themselves a great chance off the back of this result at Ram park. HWE coach, Mark Brandt, made a clear statement about what he expected for the remainder of the season “We worked hard on Saturday and no doubt that was the sort of footy we want to play,” he said. “The pressure we applied along with the work rate shown by the guys and the ability to make good decisions when in possession – that is the level we need to be at. “For many weeks we have been relying on too few to do the work and all our players now know we have to share the load across the board if we are going to have an influence from here on” Eagle Daniel Thomas was again a catalyst in many of their scoring passages – his skill and football nouse once again proving invaluable. Year 2008 grand final hero Jared Wilson again stood up in an all important third term. • Continued Page 26
