Evans wins land battle

Council loses Supreme Court appeal over house LAUREN HERMON reports: Balaklava farmer and businessman Peter Evans will be able to build a house on farmland south of Balaklava after a decision by the Full Bench of the Supreme Court. The court found against Wakefield Regional Council, dismissing its appeal against a judgement last year by a single justice of the Supreme Court. The decision was handed down on Monday by the Full Bench, with Justice Thomas Gray, Justice John Sulan and Justice Richard White presiding. They returned a 2-1 decision with Justice White finding the appeal upheld. Justices Gray and Sulan dismissed the appeal and granted the application on conditions fixed by the Environment, Resources and Development Court (ERDC). In their conclusion they said: “The matter (is to) be remitted to the ERDC to make such further orders as may be necessary to carry into effect the judgement of this court and to fix such conditions, if any, as the ERDC may think fit.” No decision has yet been made

Justice White said: “There are strong grounds for approving Mr Evans’ application. It is nonetheless appropriate to adopt the usual practice and to allow the final planning judgment to be made by the Environment Resources and Development Court. “I allow the appeal and remit the matter to the Environment Court for consideration.” The judgement came as no sur-

prise to Mr Evans who said it was obvious (to him) what the outcome would be. “There’s no surprise there. I could have told council the outcome before the judgement was even handed down,” Mr Evans said. Mr Evans said he would not speak more on the issue until council had its own discussions and he had met with council representatives. Council chief executive officer, Phil Barry, discussed the outcome with mayor James Maitland yesterday afternoon. Mr Barry said he would further

study and analyse the court’s decision and contact councillors. The on-going saga had developed over more than a year after council first rejected planning approval for the house to be built on land zoned as primary production. The Plains Producer reported in September last year if the appeal went against council, there could be implications for WRC’s Development Plan and possibly other SA councils. Costs last year were estimated to be more than $100,000. These are expected to increase with this latest court appearance.

Griffiths out as Liberal deputy Liberal MP for Goyder, Steven Griffiths, decided not to run for the position of deputy leader at yesterday’s Liberal party-room vote. Mr Griffiths told the Plains Producer he was very proud of the eight months he had as deputy opposition leader, but said it was time for a change. “It’s been a difficult couple of days, but it was a time for change and I needed to recognise that,” said Mr Griffiths, who held the Shadow Treasurer’s portfolio. Shadow portfolios had not been allocated when the Plains Producer went to press, however Mr Griffiths was politically damaged before the election over a costings gaffe on Royal Adelaide Hospital’s rebuild. “I will always be interested in the finances of South Australia and will continue to represent Goyder – which is my number one plan at the moment,” he said. Mr Griffiths congratulated the new Deputy, former Opposition Leader Martin HamiltonSmith, who defeated another former leader, Iain Evans, 10 votes to eight, at the party meeting. Mitch Williams was balloted out in the first round. Isobel Redmond was reelected unopposed as Liberal Opposition Leader.

Bumps in the road – but life gets back to normal Dear Mike, It’s me again. Been “off the air” – but I thought, what the heck, why not make a return with a bit of advice for my old cobber. Not my cobber? Look, I know it was only a quick chat over a coffee in Balak a few years ago, but it was a special moment for me. You don’t remember? It was that day you were driving back to Adelaide after a visit to Clare and dodged Main North road because it’s so bumpy. You whizzed into Balak with J-Lo and a bunch of minders. Remember? Yes, it was Balaklava. Where they have the race course and Cup day. J-Lo was your Education and Tourism Minister. Remember? Gawd, it doesn’t take long! We need to chat about your election win.

EDITOR

You’d be going up to the Flinders, or over to Yorke’s (that’s what they call it at Black Point, Premier) to give John Rau a hand as the new Tourism Minister. Coming from the Enfield electorate, heartland for our salt-of-theearth battlers, Mr Rau probably wouldn’t get past Gepps Cross for a holiday too often. But it’s good you gave him the tourism gig, because it means he can make unbiased assessments. Tell him clean toilets mean everything in country towns, Premier. It’s the “Grey Nomads” Premier – they can’t drive 20km without stopping for a pie’n’pee. Our toilets in Balaklava are good, Premier. And the “nomads” file through the town from Auburn to Wakey one after the other. Could you see your way clear for a few bob to add a Visitor Information Centre and off-road parking area to the bric-a-brac shop at the old railway station? As one of the few businesses

If you weren’t around (never know, four years is a long time), who should I contact? My local MP? That would be Steven Griffiths. Lovely bloke, but nice guys don’t always finish first. There’s just one more thing. Noticed from one of your announcements you have confirmed your pre-election pledge to extend the moratorium on GM crops until 2014. Can’t see that will make too many farmers happy. But then, not many seem to live in Labor electorates. That’s it for now. Love to hear from you. Drop us a line.

NEWS v District

Wakefield council defends ‘informal’ meeting policy Wakefield Regional Council was under fire at last Wednesday’s council meeting to explain why the public cannot attend council’s informal discussion time which occurs after each council meeting. During public question time, Port Wakefield resident, Richard Pain, put the question to council and also asked why the informal discussion time between council was not recorded in council minutes. Mr Pain accused council of allegedly not being open and transparent with the community on some issues. “If its an informal discussion, the public should be able to be present. There needs to be more transparency and more for the public,” Mr Pain said. Wakefield Regional Council, chief executive officer, Phil Barry, said informal discussion time was not a formal meeting of council and councillors and officers did not make any type of decision on matters that came up in council meetings. “Often informal discussion meetings are just about informing councillors about up-coming events or functions so they remain aware,” Mr Barry said. “These discussions are rarely on confidential matters. It may also relate to council training needs and purposes.” According to the current Local Government Act 1999 section 90, sub-section 8, “the duty to hold a meeting of a council or council committee at a place open to the public does not in itself make unlawful informal gatherings or discussion provided that a matter which would ordinarily form part of the agenda for a (formal council meeting).” Mayor James Maitland denied council needed to be more transparent, saying despite council’s informal discussion time, the public are well informed of issues and can access these issues via council’s website, agendas and council meetings where the public are invited to listen to council discussions and motions, and have their say through public question time.

Farmers fired up – now it’s ‘just add water’

THE smell of smoke has been wafting through the district as farmers burn stubble on calm autumn days. Farmers Ray Cook, his son Robert and David Burford were burning off on Thursday, with retired Balaklava businessman Edgar Karklins going along to look, having never seen a burnoff before.

• Robert Cook is shown setting the stubble alight and (left) with David Burford, fuelling the “firebug” with petrol. Plains Producer photographer Lisa Redpath caught up with the group, as they were controlling a burn near the San Remo silos. She then joined them as they burnt off another paddock towards Owen. About 238 hectares was burnt.

Snowtown film said to be ‘respectful’ After meeting with the Victorian film makers of the proposed Snowtown ‘Bodies in the Barrels’ film, Snowtown Management Committee chairman, Paul McCormack, is confident the film will be a respectful account of the tragedies which took place. The film’s director, Justin Kurzel and co-producers, Anna McLeish and Sarah Shaw were in Snowtown yesterday to give a broad outline of the film to eight committee members and mayor James Maitland. Mr McCormack said the three representative of Victorian film company, Warp Films, insisted

the film was not a documentary, will make no character reference to Snowtown and assured that Snowtown would not be reflected on poorly. Director Kurzel mentioned at the meeting he grew up in Gawler and often travelled to Hamley Bridge and said he can relate to the region and decided to become involved in the film’s production for that reason. Mr McCormack was told by the Warp Films representatives they would be getting no money out of the movie deal. Despite Mr McCormack’s approval, he said he would remain level-headed.

“I’ve been happy before and then seen or heard things I didn’t like. So I’ll just see what happens, but they seemed genuine,” Mr McCormack said. The discussion, described by Mr McCormack as ‘amicable’ ended on good terms with both parties saying they will keep in touch. Mr Kurzel, Ms McLeish and Ms Shaw also met with the victim’s families this morning in a meeting held by Victims Rights Commissioner, Michael O’Connell. Although no word on when filming will actually begin, Mr McCormack was told the filming would most likely begin towards the end of the year.

Independent MP for Frome, Geoff Brock has declined the Speaker’s role in the House of Assembly, offered by Premier Mike Rann. Mr Brock maintains he wants to concentrate on the electorate of Frome. Mr Brock, who won the seat of Frome in the March 20 state election and was offered the Speaker’s position last week, declined on Sunday when he informed Mr Rann of his decision. Mr Brock said the decision was one of the most difficult he has had to make. “It’s such a prestigious role with great attrac-

tions and remuneration, but at the end of the day and after much deliberation, I am an Independent,” Mr Brock said. “My philosophy is that I am a people’s person, a true independent and I need to focus on the electorate of Frome “I have the trust of more people. I want to return the trust and to work for them tirelessly. “I’ve still got a lot to learn, a lot of people to meet. However, the reasons to take on the Speaker’s role versus my reasons to decline have caused me to wrestle with very personal philosophies. The

philosophies I refer to are those which motivate me to be the ‘people’s politician’ and to put people before politics. “I promised to be ‘your voice’ in Frome and I will remain true to my word,” Mr Brock said. The speakership will now likely go to Chloe Fox, who won her seat of Bright, or to the MP for the northern seat of Giles, Lyn Breuer. Despite Labor MP Molly Bryne’s brief stint as acting speaker in 1972, should Ms Fox or Ms Breuer be awarded the position, this will make for SA parliament’s first female Speaker.

Why is Australia moving to digital TV?

To keep up-to-date with technology

• It’s important that Australia keeps pace with worldwide changes in technology • Overseas programs are increasingly being produced in the digital format only • Australian TV shows need to be produced in the digital format to be easily exported overseas

To free up broadcast space

• In Australia, TV is currently broadcast in both digital and analog signals • This is costly and inefficient • Turning off the analog signals will free up space that could be used for other services for the community

To improve your viewing experience

• Picture and sound quality on digital TV is better • Pictures on digital TV can be seen in widescreen • You’ll still have the same free-to-air channels, plus some new ones, so you’ll have more choice

It’s a real lift from Lions

GILBERT Valley Lions club presented a “multi patient lifter” to Gilbert Valley Senior Citizens’ Homes (GVSCH) recently. The cost of $5,410 was met equally by the Lions Club and the Australian Lions Foundation. Accepting the lifter, GVSCH board chairman, Brian Kemp, said the lifter was much improved on their previous one. “It will make work much easier for nursing staff and more comfortable for patients,” Mr Kemp said. Director of Nursing, Lesley Smith, said trials had shown its worth to nursing staff. CEO, Graham Ackland, said the donation was much appreciated because ever-increasing running costs were limiting the ability of all carer groups to purchase aids, such as the lifter. Lion’s president, Frank Gorey, said since the Australian Lions Foundation had subsidised the cost, he was hopeful further assistance could be given in future.

Mallala’s 75th anniversary Preparations for week-long celebrations to mark 75 years of the District Council of Mallala have started. Events begin on Sunday, May 23, with ‘Marking the Merge’ at Mallala museum. Seventy five trees will be planted to mark each year, with 25 trees each in Two Wells, Dublin and Mallala on Tuesday, May 25. Bus tours of the district are planned for the Wednesday and a photographic competition will be judged on Thursday, after the opening of Mallala corner at 2a Wasleys road.

The photographic competition is open to everyone, with a plan to have several different categories which capture the culture and lifestyle of the district. A celebratory dinner will be held in Mallala on Friday night for $35 per head, and will include a band/entertainment. Mallala motorsport will also get promoted through a weekend event on May 29 and 30, at the motorsport park. The weekend will include “Shannons nationals” formula 3, V8 touring cars, Commodore cup, sports sedans, superkarts, Porsche GT3 and formula Vee. A community breakfast will take

place on Saturday morning, while the Dublin History Group will host the final event on Sunday. Community groups were contacted earlier in the year to show interest in hosting an event. Details will be released as they become available. DCM was originally proclaimed in 1935 as the District Council of Light. It was a result of the amalgamation of the District Councils of Dublin, Port Gawler and Grace Plains. The District Council of Light was renamed the District Council of Mallala on April 15, 1937.

Petition to re-open Lower Light beach District Council of Mallala is considering its options after receiving a petition with 303 signatures asking for the re-opening of Lower Light beach. The petition read: “This is a petition to the Mallala Council to re-open the Lower Light Beach. This is a very popular fishing and crabbing beach, which many people have been using for a number of years.” Lower Light beach was closed for environmental risk to the delicate sand dunes

and habitat caused by cars and motorbikes straying from designated tracks. Strategic infrastructure and planning committee recommended to council to note the petition was received and action was being taken. The opening of the Lower Light Beach road is currently being considered within the broader Coastal Access Strategy that was presented to the strategic infrastructure and planning committee in March.

Owen silos get a new addition

Further, the opening of the road will require substantial funds to make it fit for purpose and also allow the management of access so as not to damage the sensitive coastal areas. The cost has been included as a new initiative bid for Council’s consideration in the 2010/11 budget. No further action is required with the community and development officer, Lynette opening of Lower Light beach which is Seccafien, gets into the party mood to celebrate 75 years of District Council of Mallala. already being considered by council.

special feature v 2010 Emu Awards

Dublin delight at Emu win Volunteers at Dublin Community Thrift Shop have been sticking their necks out since it opened five years ago, through continuous support for those in need and services beyond those of ordinary thrift shops. And they have now been recognised, with the shop winning the Adelaide Plains Emu Awards overall prize at Hamley Bridge Sports and Community Centre on Friday – as well as the community group category. About 60 people, including nominees and supporters enjoyed a tasty breakfast prepared by a team of hard working volunteers – appropriate given the nature of the awards, which celebrate those who make a positive difference to the region. The awards were presented by ABC 891 radio announcer and patron Peter Goers, who had the breakfast crowd chuckling as they chewed. The Plains Producer is joint sponsor of the Emu awards, with Churches of Christ Life Care, which provided a $600 prize to the winner. District Council of Mallala and Wakefield Regional Council this year also supported the awards. The small Dublin community shop aims to provide readily accessible

assistance and access to clothing, furniture and household items, especially to people in greatest need in the community. Shop volunteersAnneMarie Paech and Pauline Rosewarne manage to keep the shop open at least five days a week from noon to 4pm. In addition, the shop offers free bread at least once a month through generous donations and actively supports Mallala Primary School, Dublin CFS and the Dublin History Group. Other category winners were: Business: Virginia Nursery, for expanding and building a strong business including retail, cafe/restaurant, pet shop and vegetable shop. Event: Blyth cinema for its role in the first Clare Valley Film Festival which generated a lot of support and was a successful event for the region. The event is now planned to be annual with the aim of inspiring and educating young people.

REPORT: Lauren Hermon Kids will have to hold off a while longer from riding the ramps at a proposed skate park facility to be located in Balaklava. After a presentation at last Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council meeting, Balaklava Area Committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skate park sub-committee were told by council to return with a more concrete proposal in order for the project to gain additional funding by council. A presentation was made to council in April 2006 resulting in a budget of $15,000 in 2006-07 going towards the skate park facility. Last Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

A concept plan for a skate park. This is just one design being considered. presentation outlined an updated proposal to council to increase councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget amount to /LYHUSRRO 6NDWHSDUN $30,000 for the 2010-11

budget year. Possible sites for the skate park were discussed and the materials needed for construction, and the risks

which may interfere with the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operation. Wakefield Regional Council chief executive officer, Phil Barry, said

council required further ground work into the committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progress to lock in a budget. The first request for

Skate park plan still rolling on financial assistance from council for a skate park facility came in July 2005. Community development officer, David Woodroofe, and Skate Park Sub-committee member, Peter Rohrlach said the nine year long proposal needed to be discussed with a decision made and agreed upon. Despite the committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts in fundraising and investigating materials which would be best to use, council stood by their recommendation for the committee to come back with further ground work. The issues raised were the likelihood of graffiti and vandalism and whether the skate park

should be open during the day or night, or both. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Concrete ramps would be better than metal as it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make so much noise,â&#x20AC;? Mr Woodroofe said. Although no plans are certain without sufficient funding and further research, Mr Woodroofe said he hoped to get exact quotes for the materials needed to create the skate park and public consultation would be the next step to strengthen the proposal to present to council in a later meeting. According to Mr Woodroofe, the life expectancy of the skate park is about 20 years. The goal is to have the project completed by February next year.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Caretakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; policy for council elections

Wakefield Regional Council was advised of and adopted the new mandatory legal requirement placed on all councils to adopt a draft Caretaker Policy before June 21 for preparation for Local Government elections in November. The Caretaker Policy will govern the conduct of the council and its staff during a local government general election. The policy applies during an election period of council to cover: â&#x20AC;˘ Designated decisions as defined in the Local Government (Elections) Act 1999 made by council â&#x20AC;˘ Use of resources including: materials published by council, attendance and participation at functions and events, access to council information, media services issues and responsibilities of council staff. The purpose of the policy is to set parameters council will operate within during a Caretaker mode period and are necessary for the promotion of transparent and accountable government during an election period.

NEWS v Balaklava & District JAMES MAITLAND

Mayor’s Diary Council ‘showcase’ “Growing Communities” is just one of the topics at the popular Local Government showcase, “Discover” in Adelaide in April. I will be chairing this workshop, where Adelaide City Council will present its concept for safer entertainment precincts and Port Adelaide Enfield council will address racism and discrimination in our communities. The showcase is a great opportunity for councils to come together to show off their innovative projects – and, of course we get the chance to network with other council staff and elected members. I will be at the Convention Centre with Wakefield Regional Council CEO, Phil Barry, on April 22 and 23.

Diverse activities

Whilst “roads, rates and rubbish” will always remain part of any council’s mantra, the showcase proves your local council does much more than that. On the agenda is an amazing array of examples displaying how councils are working for their communities. Yorke Peninsula Council will focus on water initiatives in its region – something which could transfer to all parts of South Australia and Northern Areas Council shows off “On Your Bike” – strategic tourism growth for rural communities. An interesting topic for Wakefield Regional Council is a session on shared CWMS management, brought to the seminar by Wattle Range Council. With our own developments in CWMS (town effluent management) schemes, this will be of real interest. I will report back on council schemes that caught my eye in my next column.

Broadband discussions

The ongoing issue of Broadband coverage in rural and regional areas will be highlighted in Canberra this week, when a deputation from the Central Local Government Region of councils (which includes Wakefield Regional Council) meets with Federal Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Senator Stephen Conroy. Clare and Gilbert Valleys council mayor, Allan Aughey and Kelly-Anne Saffin, new CEO for Yorke and Mid North Regional Development Australia, will attend. The recent Tour Down Under through the Clare and Gilbert Valleys was on the receiving end of poor Broadband coverage.

Heritage list

Wakefield Regional Council has been developing a policy for heritage buildings in its district. Many buildings already are heritage listed but council needs to review others from time to time. Be assured we are very aware of the impact of listing a building and the responsibilities this bestows on owners. Call council on 8862 0800 if you have any concerns or questions.

Congratulations ...

To Dublin Community Thrift Shop as 2010 Emu award winner and to all nominees and category winners. The awards are another great example of communities working together. This was displayed at the ceremony last Friday, when Hamley Bridge Sports Centre volunteers served up a delightful breakfast in their clubrooms, overlooking the very green oval – watered by the town’s new CWMS treatment plant! My congratulations also to this newspaper – the Plains Producer – on achieving back-toback Best Newspaper awards. This column is sponsored by:

Emma’s garden delight Balaklava Courthouse Gallery again will host a recital by harpist and vocalist Emma Horwood, who has become well-known to Balaklava audiences over the last four years. Emma (right) will appear at Balaklava Courthouse Gallery on Sunday May 2, from 2pm. It is expected to be an enchanting afternoon of music celebrating the beauty of gardens. “A Harpist’s Garden” will feature French and English music about gar-

dens, including themes of birds, flowers, forests and fields, with classical, romantic and celtic vocal repertoire and harp solos. Works by Frederic Chopin, Marcel Tournier, Benjamin Britten, Christina Sonnemann, Helen Cartrige and Sting – with a new harp and voice arrangement by Adelaide composer Quentin Grant of his stunning “Irish Songs”. Emma featured at the service of lessons and carols at Balaklava’s St Paul’s Lutheran church last December.

Eisteddfod mail out Entry forms for the 14th Balaklava Eisteddfod will be mailed out tomorrow for participants in this year’s eisteddfod weekend from July 30 to August 1. More than 800 entry forms will be distributed around Balaklava, Adelaide and across the mid north region. Entry forms will also be posted to previous participants as far as Broken

Hill, Whyalla and Yorke Peninsula. Balaklava Eisteddfod Social co-publicity officer, Pam Uppill, said the eisteddfod was a very rewarding and positive experience for all. Entry forms also can be found at all Balaklava schools, Balaklava Community Library and post office, regional music stores or via Balaklava Eisteddfod Society website, www. balaklavaeisteddfod.org.au.

Glorious company in ‘the perfect death’

really didn’t figure out what difference Easter makes until Alf died. Alf was well over 90. His cancer got so bad that he had to go into hospital. The going was just starting to get rough, so we decided to do “The Commendation of the Dying.” At this time I was very afraid of anything to do with dying. More than 30 people were crowded into his hospital room: his wife, his sons, his grandchildren, and a few greatgrandchildren in arms.

By Pastor Jim Bryan, St Paul’s Lutheran church, Balaklava He told each person how much he loved them and how they were special to him. He encouraged each one of them. There were tears and sniffles all around. Then each one of them came and held his hand and told him what a great husband, father or grandfather he was, and how much they would miss him. Each person ended by saying something like “I can

you to himself and give you a new, young, healthy forever body. Alf closed his eyes as I placed my right hand on Alf’s head and prayed: “Into your hands, O merciful Saviour, we commend your servant Alf. Acknowledge, we humbly beseech you, a sheep of your own fold, a lamb of your own flock, a sinner of your own redeeming. “Receive him into the arms of your mercy, into the blessed rest of everlasting peace, and into the glorious company of the saints.” Alf didn’t open his eyes when I stepped away. His grandson, who was a nurse, checked Alf’s pulse. He looked at me and said “He’s dead.” I said: “No, he’ll die in a day or two.” He said very gently “Pastor, he’s dead.” I said: “No he’ll die in an hour or two.” He said again, “Pastor, he’s dead.” I was so upset, and confused. Had I killed Alf? His grandson said “Grandad got what he wanted. This was the perfect death. He was surrounded by his family.” I realised, yes, this was the perfect death. This was the first time I realised what a difference Easter makes, how powerful Jesus’ death and resurrection are. I wasn’t afraid of dying any more. That was 30 years ago, but I have seen this happen many times since (and often it does happen a day or two later). Blessed Easter to you and your family.

Easter time poses some hidden dangers for the family dog. Thoughts of Easter usually involve happy images of chocolate mania. But for our pet pooches, chocolate is a toxin which can cause great distress and lead to death. Smaller dogs, especially, are vulnerable to chocolate poisoning. Rapid consumption of discarded chocolate can lead to excessive urination and hyperactivity in a dog. The increased heart rate, when combined with exercise, can be fatal. “It is a common mistake to think that what is normally safe for humans is also safe for dogs, but there are lots of examples of common household items that

Dog dangers at Easter time can make dogs very sick. Chocolate is just one,” warns veterinary surgeon and Dogs NSW spokesperson, Dr Peter Higgins. “Dogs are not mini humans. Carob based treats are a great way to let dogs share in the Easter spirit,” explains Dr Higgins. Easter holidays are also great opportunities for travelling to see friends or places. It is becoming more common to take dogs on trips and holidays. A little thoughtful

planning can mean the difference between a great holiday for you and your pet, or a frustrating trip away from home. “Doggy seat belts have made a big difference to happy backseat travellers. This keeps the driver relaxed and better able to drive safely when on holidays. An unsecured dog is a four-legged missile,” says Dr Higgins. Dogs NSW recommends dog owners check the pet policy

for the holiday destination. “Remember to keep clear of National Parks with your dog. The good news is that many motels and resorts allow pet dogs to stay with their families. Dogs are seen as an important part of relaxation and recreation for the modern family. It is always worth checking ahead to ensure a happy Easter period for all the family,” advises Dr Higgins.

Another big year looms It was an emotional year for Mallala in 2009, celebrating 100 years of the club, followed by the A grade team working their way stylishly to their third premiership game in three years. Then the team faced playing the big match without their coach after an horrific accident the week before the game, giving the side more incentive and more killer instinct. With Keith checking himself out of hospital hours before the game to be on the side lines, the Magpies didn’t disappoint their coach, walking away with a 39-point victory... after a tough, physical battle. As reigning premiers and three year consecutive grand finalists, Mallala is again looking to field a strong A grade team. Grand final experience was the edge they had over Two Wells in last year’s premiership game, and the experience has only become stronger. However, the side’s pre-season training has been relatively low key compared to other years, according to coach Keith Earl – they must be having some well-deserved downtime. Nonetheless, there is still a match winning line up waiting to get back on the footy oval for another big year. While they have lost several key players, including captain Liam Whitwell (for half the season at

Adelaide PlainS Football League

s e a s o n 2010 p r e v i e w

One aim from the pain of ’09 After having four football teams in the grand finals last year, there is only one thing Two Wells wants to change this year. With finals experience under their belt, the relatively young A grade side now know what finals defeat feels like. And they don’t like it! While last year’s grand final loss to the Magpies by 39 points left the Roosters pretty gutted, they have refluffed their feathers and are ready for action. There are a few changes in the air at Roosterville, with the club losing APFL leading goal kicker, Aaron Hand, handy rover Willy Sansbury and Tyson Knight. Meanwhile, the club has recruited some more height in Paul Christoffis from Port Districts. His handy ball skills in centre half forward could fill the void Aaron Hand has left, who will be dubbed a bit of a ‘wally’ should Two Wells take the flag this year–which they have every chance of doing without him! Tristain Nurton is also joining the side as an on-baller from Port Districts, and naturally talented Ryan McDonald will be returning to his home team after spending some time with West Augusta in the Port Augusta League. Team Brad– including Fitzgerald and Struck, have both returned to show a bit of heart for the club where they played their junior football.

The speed and dynamics of this young side is again noteworthy, with all the usual demons such as Khan and Tallen Leighton, and Adam Humzy, while the strength of Scott Humphrys and Stephen Lange, who is in his finest form, will be a considerable barrier for opposition. Having lacked height in the past, new recruit Illingsworth will be a boost, giving Ben Stubing some backup and confidence in ruck. There are plenty of capable hands to fill the gap Willy Sansbury has left, with several youngsters vying for some more influential roles in the team. Ned Seccafien and Ben Spiteri aren’t afraid of getting the hard ball and will be important in the midfield.

Desire to go the full distance

Virginia’s Emmanuel Tsimiklis swoops on the ball ahead of Bomber Rhys Savage. INSET: Coach Greg Phillips holds centre stage.

Virginia Rams are preparing for another solid season, after finishing second on the ladder at the end of the minor round and looking threatening. The club was disappointed to bow out in their last game against Two Wells in the preliminary final. The club has consequently been working and recruiting to improve their mid field stamina. There has been a great response to training out at V-town, with plenty of good commitment from new and existing players. A great response on numbers has both the A grade and B grade looking strong for the Rams, with a fair few young Rams moving up from colts. There are six recruits, some of which have played before and others new to the club. The Rams will be losing Shamus Schutt, Anton Geradis, Anthony Bascombe, Adrian Marks, Chris Musolino and Mark Cocchiard. But they’ve gained two speedy youngsters from Port Adelaide Reserves – Troy Wilky and Caleb Howell, who are both on-ballers. Troy will be an asset with hard on-ball skills by hand and foot while Caleb is an extremely fit centre man who will help release Matty Young in the middle. Christian Dorrwood has also been

picked up by the Rams, who is a skilful centre half back and an excellent reader of the ball. Centre half back David Johnston also returns to the club after two years away. He joins his brother, Anthony Johnston, who’s another centre on baller. Anthony is another runner, who’ll help with centre rotations, and is capable of playing many positions. Brenton Niklaus will join the club from Gawler Centrals, as a very strong full forward with a good grab and strong hands in the air. Ben Gailic returns to the club as the ruck. Coach Greg Phillips said their recruiting had focussed heavily on finding mid field players, because they didn’t have enough last season to continue rotation. “I’m expecting great things from Troy and Caleb,” Greg said. The Rams are generating more community support by the year, and there is a great spirit at the club. Greg also said the club had benefited greatly from the support and sponsorship of Barry, Rick and Margaret Flitter at BTR excavation and also the team at North East Isuzu, who have all shown a lot of faith in the club. Virginia played Seaton Rams on Saturday, and Greg gave all the young players a chance to show their potential for the coming season.

New energy for proud Eagles Hummocks Watchman Eagles are hoping for an enthusiastic and competitive season. As flag holders in 2008, the Eagles want history to repeat itself. Coach Mark Brandt remains the man who has been training the team with the hope of leading them to premiership victory. “It’s time to reassess. The boys have had a long extended break so it’s time to get back into it,” Mark said. “Pre-season training began in early January. Now we’re looking to get some speed into our legs,” Mark said. Finishing fourth on the APFL premiership table last year with an even eight wins and eight losses to their name, HW Eagles club president, Richard Taylor, said new players were joining, giving some new energy and versatility to the team. “A lot of the new players are young country lads,” Richard said. Ruckman Andrew Hunt joins HWE after playing for Roseworthy College as part of Adelaide University. Another former Roseworthy College footballer, Jeff Cook, joins Hummocks as half-back midfielder. Another half-back midfielder to join the Eagles A-grade team is Ashley Lockwood from Blyth, Snowtown. Eudunda player Josh Schultz will play forward and will push ahead, looking for drive coming from

Travis is part of the fabric of United, a talented player since 1994 and the man in the hot seat this season.

Former Gepps Cross footballer

McLean joins the team this year taking on a utility role, and likely to be asked to fill a variety of positions. Multi-talented and a skilled ball handler, McLean will give United a much needed boost this season. McLean also played Reserves at North Adelaide and Central Districts. Coming from Amatuer League is forward Matt Lance, another impressive player to join United. Reserves numbers are looking good at Long Plains, with more depth compared to previous years.

Balaklava’S new coach coach, Stewart Lamond, has a blend of rising young stars and experienced recruits to help the team recover from a disappointing season last year. Nothing seemed to go right for the Peckers in 2009 – but Lamond, returning to the club after five years at Broadview and Freeling, has different ideas in 2010. The Peckers finished with six wins and 10 losses last year, finishing sixth, which would not appeal to the off-field team under “the verandah of knowledge.” Lamond is confident his team can step up this season. “Balaklava is a side which is capable of pushing forward – and we will,” he said. New players include Aaron Curtis, Michael Wheaton, Brendan Melville and Konrad Job. Aaron,26, from Padthaway, joins the Peckers after playing in the Kowree Naracoorte Tatiara Football League. He will add strength to the midfield. “Aaron handles the ball well and racks up possessions,” Stewart said. Another new Padthaway recruit is Brendan Melville, who will take on a utility role. “He’s a bit of a hard nut and plays hard footy,” Stewart said. “He’s got good hands.” Young gun, Michael Wheaton from Streaky Bay, will take a wing, giving the Peckers extra pace. Michael played for the West Coast Hawks before coming to Balaklava. “He’s got leg speed to help us out,” Stewart said.

Adelaide PlainS Football League NEW Hamley Bridge coach Rian Nelson has been very busy pre-season – and it has certainly paid off with 22 players recruited! The club only loses three players. Having won very few games in the past three seasons, things are looking up for the club, with plenty of former players returning and a lot of club spirit and motivation present. A new coach and 22 new recruits will likely have a positive impact on the club, which has struggled to field a team at some stage over the last few years. The Bombers, who did not win a game last year, will not be looking to work miracles, but they are certainly looking to work as a team to gain back their confidence and try to match the high standard the Adelaide Plains League offers once again this season. A nine goal victory in a trial game against Woodville south generated a lot of excitement amongst supporters and players, who have not experienced victory for a while. Tyler Reichart joins Hamley Bridge from Port Districts and will be extra height to the Bombers. He brings with him experience from under age football with Port Districts. Shane Catterill, also from Port District, will be a valuable centre half forward, after playing reserves last year for the Magpies. Another recruit from Port Districts is Dyllan Lockwood, a handy on-baller who also played in the reserves last year. From the Barossa District premiership side, goal kicker Matthew

Strength in numbers Bombers confident, but miracles do take a little longer NEW Hamley Bridge coach Rian Nelson has an entirely new team to work with. Laurie joins Hamley Bridge as a small forward and brings plenty of experience. Former Hamley Bridge player Tim Durdin returns to the bombers from Gawler Centrals, with country football at heart. Tim Durdin brings back some height to the mid-field, standing at about 6.5 foot. Rhys Savage is a juniors best and fairest player and comes to Hamley after a stint with RSMU hawks in the North Eastern League.

Rhys is a gutsy player, who is not afraid to make the hard tackles and put his body on the line. Brothers, Steve and Shane Ford have also been recruited from Waikerie thanks to the Hamley Bridge netball team! (One of the brothers is dating a netballer). The on-ballers bring experience from the Riverland league. They will also play some visual tricks, with Rian saying they look pretty similar.

Travis Nat will also be joining the team, being recruited through his relative Ash Nat. Travis played reserves with Port Adelaide and also represented Darwin. He’ll add force to the Hamley Bridge back line. Wayne Mattchoss is making a comeback with the Bombers, returning to his home club after a few years away. Danny Weis from PHOS/Camden moved to Two Wells recently and is also playing with the Bombers this season. He’ll add strength to the forward lines and has performed well in trial games. Other players, who played B grade last year are making a bigger effort this season. Scott Raddamacher steps up this season, having not missed a training after a year of playing B grade footy last year. Enthusiasm is at a peak within the last few years, and the club is benefiting from some good team building training sessions and getting to know how each other play. Their first trial match against Gumeracha was a bit scratchy, while the side found their feet playing together. The second was, as mentioned, a victory and boosted the spirits of those who hadn’t won a game for so long. They also played Eudunda/Robertstown on the weekend. The club’s former coach, Ben Burgess will be playing at Angaston, while his brother, Brett has taken on a coaching role at Fitzroy after playing last year for the Bombers. Tyler Miller has also departed the club to play at Port Broughton.

SPORT v Bowls Grand Final

Hamley division one makes it six in a row Hamley Bridge downed gallant Balaklava by 12 shots in the Division One grand final of the Wooroora Men’s Bowling Association. In Division 2 Red, Riverton White took out the premiership against Hamley Red by 14 shots and in Div 2 White it was Mallala White by eight shots over Riverton Black. The Division One grand final featured Hamley Bridge against Balaklava in a clash that mirrored many of their clashes from previous years. This final was hotly contested with

By John Glistak WWBA secretary little being given away at any time during the match as each side endeavoured to gain that all important edge. The O’Brien (Hamley Bridge) – Taylor (Balaklava) rinks were first to finish with their scores level at 25- all. A very tight battle ensued between Rex (Hamley Bridge) and Thompson (Balaklava) with Rex’s rink gaining a

three shot win at the end of their allotted 25 ends. The last rinks to finish saw Smith (Hamley Bridge) gain a 12-shot win over Clifford (Balaklava). Overall, Hamley Bridge won the 2009-2010 Division One Premiership by 12 shots to secure their sixth premiership in a row, and seven in eight years. Division One: 27 March 2010 – grand final: Hamley Bridge 83 (A. O’Brien 25, P. Rex 28, B. Smith 30) def. Balaklava 71 (B. Taylor 25, P. Thompson 25, T. Clifford 21).

Riverton White Two Red premiers Hamley Red and Riverton White contested the Division Two grand final last weekend. First to finish were the Glistak (Riverton White) – Schilling (Hamley Red) rinks which ended up an 18 all tie, a match which saw only one shot scored on 17 of the 25 ends played. After a very tight start, the

Hannaford rink (Riverton White) held as much as a 16-shot lead over Bell’s rink (Hamley Red). In the end this lead had been whittled back to a four shot advantage for Riverton White. The remaining rinks - Kelly (Riverton White) and Tily (Hamley Red) - had a seesaw match with Hamley Red racing

away to an early nine shot lead only to see Riverton White peg it back to take a four shot lead during the middle stages of the match. Kelly’s largest lead was seven shots on the 19th end which was promptly cut back to only two shots after the 20th end. Thereafter, Kelly’s rink won the

remaining five ends for a 10-shot win. Riverton White took out the Division Two Premiership honours by 14 shots. Division Two Red: March 27 – grand final: Riverton White 76 (R. Hannaford 27, J. Glistak 18, P. Kelly 31) def. Hamley Red 62 (J. Bell 23, G. Schilling 18, J. Tily 21).

Mallala White scores Two White premiership In the tightest grand final of the day, Mallala White proved too strong for Riverton Black despite having only one rink up. Schulz (Riverton Black) began proceedings with a narrow one shot win over Curnow (Mallala White) which was followed by Gates (Riverton Black) finishing with a ten shot win over Hill (Mallala White). The final rinks saw Forrest (Mallala White) secure a 19-shot win over Prime (Riverton Black) giving Mallala White the Two White Premiership by eight shots. Division Two White: March 27– grand final: Mallala White 78 (G. Forrest 34, J. Curnow 25, B. Hill 19) def. Riverton Black 70 (B. Prime 15, R. Schulz 26, P. Gates 29).

Region 8 Lower North Champion of Champions

Elaine Cunningham, Regional Women's Singles Champion.

On Sunday March 28, the Women’s Associations Champions and the men who had reached the semi finals of their playoffs met at Balaklava. The rain began falling in the morning, keeping up for the rest of the day. Most of the men played their two matches, the Fours sides played off for the championship and for third place. The Pairs sides and Singles players did not play off for third place. The Men’s Singles Champion of Champions was Pat Coffey of the Yacka Club, who defeated Ray Hudson from Mintaro 25-15. This match was closely contested until Pat managed to draw steadily ahead. The Men’s Pairs Champions of Champions are David Lamond (sk) and Peter Thompson of Balaklava, who defeated Glen Bubner (sk) and David Brown of the Owen. Balaklava got the jump on the Owen players early, but Owen gradually caught up to be one shot behind at the 13th end 17-16. Balaklava was able to score well over the next three ends and the final score was 25-16. The Men’s Fours Champions of Champions are, once again, Blyth – represented by Ron De Luca, Lyndon Mader, Rob Kennett and Paul Farley (sk). Runners-up were Riverton – Neil Rogers, Mark Griffiths, Dean Willmott and Barry Mullins (sk). Scores were close all through the match, and at the

Plains Producer, Wednesday March 31, 2010

15th end it was 15-15, Blyth scoring two shots on the last end. The Plate winners were Brinkworth – Bruce Weckert, Peter Harris, Barry Goss and Garry Pearse (sk), who defeated Clare 15-6 – represented by Bob Brandt, Trevor Sims, Malcolm Norman and Ron Wurst (sk). The Women’s Associations champions had two games to play in a three-game draw. The first two games were played, but on a concensus by the players, the third games were not played. The winners would be decided by the player with the most shots up and the runners-up by next highest. The Women’s Single Champion of Champions winner is Elaine Cunningham of Wooroora Women’s Association. Elaine played two outstanding games against two very worthy opponents, defeating Bev Schoenberg of Northern Light 21-20 and Diane Clements of Hutt and Hill River 21-16. Elaine won her first club singles title the year Bev was born, 1948. Bev Schoenberg was the runner-up. The Pairs Champions of Champions were Shereen Kimpton (sk) and Jodi Kotz of Northern Light. They were defeated by Pat Hayes (sk) and Carol Hayes of Hutt and Hill River 11-15. These girls were very wet by the time they started their second game, where they defeated Fay Rowlands (sk) and

Joy Milton of Wooroora 19-11. Hutt and Hill River were the runners-up. The Regional Triples Champions of Champions were Sheryll Kempster, Pam Durbridge and Bev McQuire (sk) of Wooroora, who defeated Hutt and Hill River 29-5. The Hutt and Hill River players, Margaret Malycha, Shirley Walker and Kerrie Hayes (sk), were also very wet when they started their second game. Hutt and Hill River defeated the Northern Light triples, Joan Callery, Enid Passehl and Julie Przibilla (sk) 20-12. The Hutt and Hill River girls were the runners-up. The Fours Champions of Champions won by one shot. Both games were very close. In the first, Wooroora – Kathy Harkness, Gwen Duncan, Helen Hocking and Gloria Wandel (sk), defeated Myra Rush, Angie Pearse, Helen Pyrke and Sue Yates of Hutt and Hill River 10-8. In the second game Hutt & Hill River defeated Gwenda Sims, Raylene Landorf, Lenice Pearce and Mary White (sk) of Northern Light 11-10. The Champions were Wooroora by one shot and the runners-up are Hutt and Hill River. Unfortunately it was a wet day, but the players were all worthy representatives of their clubs. The Regional Councillors thank all the players for their sportsmanship, friendliness and humour on the day. www.plainsproducer.com.au

Boys bow down to SYP SA C o u n t r y C h am p i o n s h i p s

Adelaide Plains under 18 boys, from left: Justin Smith, Luke Guy, Nathan Greenshields, Riley McDonald, Ross Sharer, Luke Williams, Dylan Bevan and Ben Moreton, with coach Wayne Hill. The Adelaide Plains basketball under 18 boys competed in the Country Carnival held March 6-8 at Immanuel College, Novar Gardens. The team was represented by Nathan Greenshields, Riley McDonald, Luke Williams, Luke Guy, Justin Smith, Ben

Moreton, Dylan Bevan and Ross Sharer. They were coached by Wayne Hill with help from Michelle Williams. The boys started well and were undefeated for the first round (three games). Brilliant rebounding by Ross Sharer, Nathan Greenshields and Luke Guy made

it easy for the Owen boys to work their magic as usual! Riley and Luke hassled and worked the top of the key well. They won their first final against Great Southern, but were unfortunately eliminated in the next by a skilful SYP team. – Suzy McDonald

Under 14 boys runners-up in junior championships

Under 14 boys, back from left: coach Richard Taylor, Brandon Taylor (Bulldogs), Jarrad Dunstan (Owen), Zac Scholz (Balaklava), Jayden Wedding (Owen), coach Jill Taylor, team manager Michelle Dunstan, front: Josh Watson, Josh Harkness and Jared Pratt (Owen).

TheAdelaide Plains basketball under 14 boys team came home with a couple of wins after the SA Junior Country Basketball Championships, held at Immanuel College at Novar Gardens on March 6 – 8. The team was runner-up at the championships and played very well over the weekend. The competition was split into two sections, with four teams in each section. On Saturday and Sunday, they played three round robin matches: Adelaide Plains defeated Eastern Hills 40 – 21; lost to Mildura 33 – 36; defeated Roxby Downs 50 – 21. They came second in their section after the round robin. On Sunday night they played a quarter final against the team who came third in the other section – Riverland, defeating them 43 -20. Monday they played a semi final against Willunga, defeating them 34 – 32, and the grand final losing to Mildura 47 – 33. There were some very tired boys, coaches, parents (and team manager!) by the end of the weekend, but everyone enjoyed themselves. Thank you to coaches Richard and Jill Taylor from Bulldogs Basketball Club. – Coach Michelle Dunstan

Under 18 girls, back from left: Cassie Powell, Alexandra Wilson, Hannah Clark, front: Shauni Tiller, Ashleigh Fritz, Maddison Veitch and Hannah McArdle.

Three wins for under 18 girls Over the course of the weekend, the under 18 girls played some awesome basketball – considering they had not practiced together as a team. It took some sorting out to get them to gel, as the numbers fluctuated daily and with Brianna Wedding injuring her ankle towards the end of the first game, she was then chasing fill ins for the day. Fortunately, Shauni Tiller was available and Taylor Smith also filled in for one game. Excellent leadership skills were displayed by captain Brianna – who is in the State under 17 squad – leading the team to their first win for the carnival. Her ability to set up play and bring in the lesser experienced players brought about good forward movement, enabling young Shauni Tiller to score eight points. The defensive work load was shared quite evenly between Alex and Cassie, with excellent rebounding and some nice hassling by Maddie and Ash. The second game was a loss to Great Southern by 10, but considering Brianna was out and they struggled with numbers, the girls competed very well against this very experienced opposition. A very strong game by Alex. Games three and four on Sunday were a great success, with the inclusion of a very talented Hannah Clark, and with Hannah McArdle playing the last game, gave the team a much needed boost. With three tall girls, Adelaide Plains were out rebounding the opposition and

were a much more aggressive team, sharing the ball and setting up some excellent play. The girls were improving their game each time they hit the floor. Game three: Adelaide Plains defeated Kangaroo Island 31-22. Game four: Adelaide Plains defeated Naracoorte 35-19. The girls headed into the finals with some confidence to play Naracoorte for a grand final spot. After a shaky start, were able to finish the game strongly with a win 31-24. This set the girls up for the grand final against Great Southern. This turned out to be an excellent game with some outstanding play by both teams. Once again excellent defensive work, rebounding and fast breaks by the girls saw them with a lead of eight points at the three quarter time break. Great Southern had a couple of good three point shooters, who managed to snag a couple with seconds to go creating a draw. The opposition were on a roll going into the last three minutes, sinking all shots that they put up, putting pressure on the Adelaide Plains girls by playing man on man. The end result was: Great Southern defeated Adelaide Plains 51-43. The girls and their coach should be very proud of their efforts as the Great Southern team has been playing and training together for quite some time, which at the end of the day was the difference. – Coach Michelle Tiller

Under 14 girls up to the task The under 14 girls played basketball at Immanuel College over the long weekend. The team consisted of eight players who were ready to battle it out and give it their best shot – team members were Ciara Guy, Carly Williams, Aleisha Michael, Tenneal White, Natasha Greenshields, Rebecca Fritz, Brooke Wilson and Ashleigh Williams. The first game Saturday morning was a fast and furious one against Great Southern. The girls battled hard but couldn’t get their shots to drop in. They lost this game by 10 in the end. The next game was against Whyalla and produced a much better result. This game was won quite convincingly by the Adelaide Plains girls, who played well with renewed confidence. Sunday morning’s game was against Mount Gambier. These girls were a very disciplined side

who showed a great display of basketball and won by quite a margin. Not to be deterred, the girls played in a knockout final Sunday afternoon against Mildura and showed they were up to the task. All girls played well to come away with a win by only a few points. This win ensured them of a semi final game on Monday. Much to the girls’ dismay, they had to face up to the Mount Gambier team and their animated coach again. To their credit they all battled hard, but couldn’t combat the skills and shooting ability of the Lakers team. They improved on their score from the previous game’s score, only losing by nine. Unfortunately, there was only one quarter that let them down, the rest of the game was fairly even. Well done girls, you represented the association well. – Coach Michelle Williams

Bulldogs had three Premierships in the Adelaide Plains Basketball Association this season – the division four boys who went through the season unde-

feated, division two boys and division one men. Bulldogs also had three girls teams in the grand final, unfortunately all losing by the narrowest of margins. Trophies were presented and chicken, chips and salad followed for tea.

SPORT v District

Our softballers bring home silver The Mid North District SAPSASA softball team played in the SAPSASA State Softball carnival last week, coming home with silver medals. The girls won six out of 10 games and drew one, playing other district teams from country and city areas in Adelaide, at Barratt Reserve, West Beach. Much of their success was due to the accurate and consistent pitching of local Balaklava girls Carly Williams and Aleisha Michael. Other stand out players were Bec

Ashmeade from Clare with powerful hitting often resulting in home runs, Grace Jacka from Clare with aggressive base running and fielding, and Brooke Michalanney from Riverton, who caught consistently behind the home plate. After some of the games, the team copied the AFL players with a swim at West Beach and lots of sand sculptures and sand fights! We all had a great week. – Marty Brice, coach/team manager

Local cricketers bridesmaids in SACA Women’s grand final By Peter Argent As women’s cricket is taking a larger hold on the sporting landscape it is pleasing two Adelaide Plains talents are enjoying the challenge of SACA district A grade cricket. While local talents Tegan McPharlin and Kerrie Blackwell were a part of the Northern Jets grand final loss to a powerful Sturt combination which included a number of Scorpions players, to get to the SACAA grade women’s season decider was an accomplishment in itself. Playing Port Adelaide in the semi final, against a side that included South Australia’s best ever player Karen Rolton, McPharlin was the star of the game. In her team’s competitive total of 8/182, McPharlin made a polished half century, opening the batting and then claimed the outstanding figures of 6/39 with the ball to virtually single handedly take the Jets to the grand final. Her outstanding 2009-2010 season with the Jets included a brilliant 135 against Kensington in round 11. McPharlin finished with 519 runs at an average of 43.25, along with collected 13 wickets at 10.8 per scalp. She was one of only three players, including Rolton and Jets captain-coach Cara Fiebig to make more than 500 runs at A grade level for the summer. Now 21 McPharlin, a right hand medium pace bowler and batsman has played 18 games for the Scorpions in the Women’s National Cricket League along with six Twenty/20 fixtures. Balaklava girl Blackwell is in the embryonic stages of her cricketing career and being involved in the grand final was a great experience. In the 2009-2010 SACA women’s grand final played last Saturday, March 27, Sturt beat Northern Districts by eight wickets at Park 25 number one oval. Playing for the Northern Jets B grade men’s side, Two Wells cricketer Tom Wilson was involved in a flag under the captaincy of Dave Militz. After bowling Southern Districts out for 168 on day one, play couldn’t be started due to consistent rain on day two, with the umpires abandoned the match at 4.15pm. Being top at the end of the minor round, the Jets were deservedly awarded the title. In the game played at Salisbury Oval Wilson was the pick of the Jets bowlers on day one with 3/32.

Croquet mid north

Results from March 24: Balaklava girls travelled to Clare for the last match of the season. The morning started off with a very wet dew on the court making it quite heavy. Rob and Ellie made a very early start making Lynne and Chris do a bit more hard work, but a flush of hoops Clare seemed to come to a stand still and the Balaklava girls crept up with Lynne making two doubles in the last few minutes of the game. Dulcie and Nancy took a while to make a start, Ruth hit her straps making four in one shot. This was from the practise she had by playing in Adelaide on Sunday. Anne found it hard to get through the first hoop and it was just before the break that she made it. The Balaklava girls plodded on and almost caught Ruth with 10 hoops each. The match was enjoyed by all players being the last for this season. Balaklava 36 def Clare 27.

Golf Balaklava

To not only announce the start of our world-renowned and much copied Winter Season, but also in an ebullient celebration of our collective success in the old extra-uterine integrity stakes, a “4-ball Better Ball” Stableford competition was staged, attracting a suitably eclectic field of nearly 50 players. Following a suitably short speech from President Bill Lokan, first Peter Lamont, Club Captain, teed off, then Cherie Taylor did the deed, representing the Ladies Captain, so that we could all move out on a course that continues to grow evermore lush and green. The concept involved pairings, who recorded the best score per hole between them and the absolutely totally best, superior, magnificent, excellent and superb pairing was that of Digby Addison and Les Masson. Their total of 49 points proved to be too good on the day, although it must be said that they were kept pretty honest by Mike Hahesy and Dennis Goudie (48), who in turn had to put up with Mark Loy and Dave Rodgers(46) snapping at their heels over the entire journey. In fourth place were James Napper and Robert Hart (46), in fifth the father and son pairing of Ian and Tate Michael with 46 points, followed by Josie and Peter Thompson (45), to claim 6th overall. As for the bulk of the field, things went this way; L. Durdin/M. Hameister (45), C. Temby/J. Michael (45), P. Lamont/B. Michael (44), N. Mellow/D. Hudson (44), W. Parkin/W. Lokan (43), J. Michael/B. Michael (42), S. Michael/L. Michel (42), W. Berry/M. Smith (41), A. Manuel/D. Robinson (40), C. Williams/M. Day (40), A. Henstridge/M. Bell (39), C. Hahesy/G. Toms (39), J. Wilson/C. Michael (39), R. Butterworth/W. Nagle (39), Messrs. Hannaford & Peek (37), G. Ackland/G. Ackland (36), R. Veitch/G. Summers (36), G. Tezacker/C. Taylor (34), while Andrew Bastian had a solo hit, scoring a perfectly reasonable 32. In terms of the Longest Drive caper, Andrew Bastian cleaned up from the A Grade, Dean Robinson the B Grade, Martin Bell the C Grade and Josie Thompson accounted for the “Juniors/Ladies 37/45”. Those who managed to land their ball Nearest The Pin were Tate Michael on the 3rd., Dennis Goudie (8th.), Rob Hart (10th.), Michael Day (15th.) and that

pesky Hart character again on the 17th. Our sincere thanks to all who made up such a splendid field. This holiday weekend we’ve decided that, if you haven’t the heart to head into any of the various serious, yet characterbuilding traffic jams that will be on offer, another Stableford round will be available out on the greensward for your personal delectation.

balaklava ladies

In spite of the weather being a tad warmer than we would have liked, 22 intrepid ladies lined up to play a stroke round. Not everyone elected to play 18 holes, but those who did shed excess kilos for their efforts. Winners for the day were A Grade: Joan Anderson Nett 77, B Grade: Moya Hayes Nett 72, Runner up: J Hoskin Nett 77, C Grade: Jill Taylor Nett 76 and birdie on the eighth, Runner up: Chris Hahesy Nett 80. Welcome to the new ladies who are playing for a handicap. See you all again next week for a 9am start, stroke and NTP. Starters M Kemp and F Williams.

Women’s pennant finals wooroora women

A beautiful sunny day greeted bowlers for the Pennant Final last Monday, with fast greens making for a competitive game and a lovely lunch at its completion. Owen had already beaten Mallala White, and in the finals game they came up against Mallala Black. It had been a sad year for Owen with the loss of three husbands,

however this team pulled out their best bowling. Mallala kept in touch for a few ends, then started to fall behind. After the drinks break they started to pick up, but Owen could see what was happening and applied more pressure. Owen came out winners with 53, defeating Mallala Black 44. Owen – Gloria Wandel 21 defeated Yvonne Curnow 13; Beth Harkness 25 defeated Bev Roney 8; Helen

Hocking 7 defeated Josie Curnow 23. Congratulations to Owen. Thanks to the great spectator gallery, which made the day. The shield was presented to Owen captain Beth Harkness by WWBA president Gwenda Cheek. Region 8 councillors Maxine Baldock and Jill Ackland presented each player with their Pennant flag. Thanks to the host club Hamley Bridge for a job well done!

Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading hay exporter

Record SA price for merino ewes A new South Australian record price of $261/head for commercial Merino ewes was achieved last Friday at Snowtown when Richard and Barbara Turner, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Rayvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dispersed their Leahcim bloodline flock at their clearing sale. This not only beat the previous record of $180/head set last October at Warrawee Park, but shattered it by a staggering $81. This may also be a national record, but is as yet unverified. This price was paid by Mark Kerin, Yoeval, NSW for 130 of the Turnersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 2008 drop ewes that were pregnancy tested â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;in lambâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. He travelled from

NSW to purchase these ewes, buying through Dubbo based agents Christie & Hood. He then proceeded to purchase the top 138 2007 drop ewes for $241/head, plus 110 2006 drop ewes for $250/head. Other successful buyers of the second pens of these age groups, or older drop ewes were Soil Management Systems, Orroroo, who paid to $120/head for 3 pens and DP & VL Stott, buying through Landmark Loxton who purchased 2 pens to $149/head. There was exceptional interest in these ewes with enquiries from Qld, NSW and Vic as well as South Australia. BIDDING was stong for these Rayville ewes.

weekly comment

A look at oats and field pea markets Over the last few weeks, we have been looking at the outlook for various commodity markets. This week we take a look at the markets for oats and field peas. Oats Canada had a lower production year last year, with only 2.8 million tonnes compared to the 4.2 million tonnes and 4.7 million tonnes in the previous two years. One reason is that Oats are one of the worst performing crops on a margin per hectare basis in Canada. Current oat values in Canada remain lower than growersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; expectations and, as a result, they have been reluctant to sell. The USA, which is the major consumer of Canadian oats, still has stock on hand, although US buyers are expected to come back into the market in the middle of the year. Canadian ending stocks are currently forecast at 946,000 tonnes compared to 1.5 million tonnes last year and are near the 5-year average of 976,000 tonnes. The next major price move is likely to come from planting intentions in Canada, with anything less than a 10% increase having ramifications on ending stock levels. Another major factor is the timing around the entry of USA millers back into the market to cover their requirements for the remainder of the year. Field Peas The market is relatively quiet, with India â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the major importer â&#x20AC;&#x201D;having sufficient stock on hand presently. In India, the Rabi (winter crop) is being harvested now and while there has been some adverse weather, this is not expected to impact on crop quality unless the rainfall continues. Canada had a good crop last year with total production of approximately 3.3-3.5 million tonnes; however, export pace from Canadian terminals has been slower than the previous year. The market direction for the coming months will be dictated by the size and quality of the Indian crop and also planting intentions of the Canadian crop.

Birthday

Parke - Sandra Lee. Passed away peacefully at Balaklava Hospital on March 23, 2010 after a long battle with illness. Aged 49 years.

A special lady now at peace. It broke our hearts to lose you and miss you so much already. We will cherish your little girls for you.

Much loved sister of Judy, sister-in-law to Andrew, and Aunty to Sasha, Carly and Nathan, Wade, Casey, Ella and Charli.

Sandra, my beautiful Bride, friend and lover of 30 years. You fought to the end, never being one to give up. You are a caring loving mother of Elley, Mini, Boof and Nanny for a short time of Gemmie and Immie.

Sisters share a special bond, an understanding beyond words, a world of memories, and the knowledge that sticking together works for anything life can throw at them. That’s why a sister is a friend like no other and you wouldn’t trade her for anything in the world.

My love, your positive, caring approach to people and life will live in the hearts and memories of family, friends and colleagues who were lucky enough to be part of your short life.

RobertS - William Lindsay (Bill). Passed away peacefully at the Balaklava Hospital, March 24, 2010. Aged 77 years.

You have our broken hearts in your hand, but we know you’ll take care of them until time heals them.

Beloved husband of Enid (deceased). Much loved father and father-in-law of Colleen and Philip, Grant and Donna, Kerry and Scott, Mark and Bev, Greg and Rachel.

Special loving mother of Elley, Mini, Boof and nanny of Gemmie and Immie.

Mudda, till we meet again. Love Geoff.

Caring Pa of 16 grandchildren. A Funeral Service for the late Bill Roberts was conducted in the Balaklava Cemetery on Monday March 29.

PARKE, Sandra Lee (nee Sharman). One thing in this world so precious and rare is the love mothers and daughters share. You fought so long and hard. Now finally at rest. The pain has gone. Loved in our hearts and thoughts forever. The world’s best friend and mother. Love Elley, Mini, Kym, Boof and Robert. Parke - Sandra Lee. Passed away peacefully March 23, 2010. Aged 49 years. Much loved youngest daughter and sister of Molly, Max, Terry, Ian Sharman. At peace after a long and brave battle. Deepest sympathy to the entire Parke Family. Will be remembered by all her family with love and great affection.

Durdin Funeral Directors Member AFDA Balaklava - 8862 2101
