CWMS tour helps â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but still arguments over planning LAUREN HERMON reports: The atmosphere was tense when Wakefield Regional Council (WRC) met with angry residents wanting to voice their concerns surrounding Port Wakefieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community wastewater management scheme (CWMS) on Monday. In heated discussions on the streets of Port Wakefield, residents and council representatives went head to head as both sides tried to gain some clarity on the project and its development.

rthy, and 10 of the 12 elected members took a bus trip around town to visit more than 10 properties and speak with some residents who had recently voiced their concerns about the project. Also present was a representative from engineers Wallbridge and Gilbert, and Diverse Civil and Commercial Projects project managers, responsible for the design and construction of the project. Representing the people of Port Wakefield, resident Darryl Pain said the day of showing council and its â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;CWMS project teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; impractically located pegs and connection points â&#x20AC;&#x153;wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t achieve anything.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Continued page 2

On the verge of big things BRONTE HEWETT reports:

THE area around Mallala and Two Wells is on the verge of an exciting new era of development. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the message from the District Council of Mallala (DCM) as it celebrates its 75th anniversary next week. DCM chief executive officer, Charles Mansueto (pictured below), who has held the CEOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role for the past nine months, says he has realised the full potential this region has to offer. With the 30-year plan for Greater Adelaide defining several major developments for the DCM area, Mr Mansueto said the district was prepared for future challenges ahead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The key messages Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve picked up from the community are growth needs to be managed to maintain the character of the area, the coastal assets need to be protected and services adequate to meet developments,â&#x20AC;? he said. Mr Mansueto said the area had a strong and proud community, wanting to maintain the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage throughout the coming phases of development and beyond. Four of the core areas Mr Mansueto hopes to build are economic development, social services, coastal protection and promotion and community engagement. Underpinning these four key areas is the enhancement of the organisation to meet the challenges ahead. â&#x20AC;˘ Continued Page 2

NEWS v District Resident Mark Robertson, supported by Darryl Pain, points to his connection point which he says is impractical, as the tour group looks on. From left are, environmental services manager, Elca McCarthy, Diverse Civil and Commercial Projects director, Malcolm Long, WRC CEO Phil Barry, deputy mayor and Western ward councillor, Barry Nottle and Western ward councillor Scott Kelly.

CWMS tour helps, but still anger • From Page 1. “We can only make councillors aware,” Mr Pain said. “How can we change anything by just showing what’s going on. It’s up to them to change it,” he said. WRC chief executive officer, Phil Barry, held a different view and said the analysis of the different properties and locations of connection points would help “bring council up to date and look specifically at the issues raised”. “We’ll also be looking at how the overall project is going,” Mr Barry added. Mr Pain raised his and the community’s concerns about council and Diverse Civil and Commercial Projects lack of planning, the shifting of pegs without consultation and the impracticality of some connection

points where some are located too far away from the toilet or in a position where residents will be forced to dig up their gardens and driveways. Mr Pain questioned the planning of the overall design and said it was impractical and obvious that problems would occur. When inspecting resident Brian Griffiths’ residence on Company street, Mr Pain asked Ms McCarthy: “Who designed this where he (Mr Griffiths) would have to dig through his building to get to the connection point?” When visiting another property in Port Wakefield, Wallbridge and Gilbert principal/senior civil engineer, Nathan Silby, admitted it was a “classic example” of lack of consultation after landowner Kevin Higgs said a peg was placed at one

end of his property on Gibbons street then shifted without his knowledge to the other side. Resident Lex Robertson was also present to meet the group outside his residence on Burra street to show council and project managers the pegs were removed and then relocated. Another resident, Mark Robertson who resides on Edward street, said he would like to see his connection point “totally squashed or shifted to another point”. “If you walk in a straight line you’d see the connection point goes under the house,” Mr Robinson said. In one discussion when visiting another residence, tempers started to flare as Mr Pain began to further question the level of consultation

within the project. While the project engineer, Mr Silby, remained on the bus during one of the heated discussions, Mr Pain questioned why the ‘head man’ who appointed Diverse Civil and Commercial Projects to undertake the project, was seated on the bus, rather than answering important questions. Western ward councillor to Port Wakefield and deputy mayor, Barry Nottle, said the day was to have a “better understanding of residents’ concerns”. Central ward councillor, Avon Hudson, who has described the CWMS as a “first class disaster”, was not present on council’s bus trip to Port Wakefield. Another Central ward councillor, Kelly Bickle, was also absent. Residents say they remain fed up

with the scheme and its “disastrous planning and lack of community consultation”. Mr Barry said the level of communication between the companies in question and council was of concern. However, he said “there will always be issues raised in big infrastructure projects like Port Wakefield’s CWMS”. Ms McCarthy, said council’s attendance on the day was “very important to see the issues so (they) can make an informative decision about how to proceed”. Council will meet next Wednesday at its ordinary council meeting to either endorse or oppose recommendations for connection points to be as provided.

‘Good opportunities’ for Mallala region • From Page 1. “From my perspective, it is about turning challenges and issues into opportunities for the community,” “Council will focus on capitalising on the 30 year plan, and working with State agencies to make that happen.” In terms of economic development, Mr Mansueto will work towards the promotion and protection of horticulture land through the implementation of the horticulture blue print 2030 and also create an environment where

organisations want to establish their business in the district. “It aims to make the area more attractive for businesses.” The area has also been marked for a potential rail freight Adelaide bypass, which Mr Mansueto supports for its economic boosting capabilities. “There’s some really good opportunities for the whole district.” These included developments such as the 2500 new dwellings north of Two Wells which would provide new challenges for the area, “but also many great opportunities to create the

required population mass to attract the services the community needs.” Mr Mansueto said an increase in the population on the Adelaide Plains would put particular pressure on coastal areas. His priorities were to preserve these unique environments with a view to increase awareness through an educational establishment if able to obtain appropriate support from key stakeholders. He also said the district had potential as a key tourist destination, and could be promoted with the possibility of establishing

more camping facilities and accommodation. “There is a lot more interest in this area as a tourist destination, and people can view this as an issue or challenge, but it is also an opportunity,” he said. In order to achieve the best results Mr Mansueto said the organisation of council needed to grow and develop with the area. “Organisation (of council) needs to be more dynamic and innovative because the environment is going to change pretty quickly,” Mr Mansueto said.

chools looking to make children more active simply need to provide more balls, skipping ropes, racquets and hoola hoops, a new study has shown. But it seems Port Wakefield Primary School is one step ahead. Port Wakefield Primary School services officer, Anne Sullivan, said the children already had plenty of play equipment. “The school has a couple of well-resourced play areas,” Ms Sullivan said. “It’s a fairly active school for a town that doesn’t have a lot of sport besides netty and footy,” she said. According to Ms Sullivan, it is all about team work at Port Wakefield Primary where all students try to be active with one another. “The older ones try to teach the younger ones various games, like king pin,” she said. Students also complete physical activity first thing each morning. “It helps them stay energised and focus on their learning,” Ms Sullivan said. The recent study showed school playgrounds provide important settings and opportunities for children to engage in activity, as children spend more than one-sixth of the school day in lunch and short breaks. Results showed a higher availability of ‘loose’ sports equipment,

Port Wakefield Primary participates in many activities to help the kids stay active.

For the past two years the school has taken part in the Premier’s Be Active Challenge and will again participate this year. They have also been involved in the Golden Circle Fun Run and Jump Rope for Heart.

after four options considered:

$58,000 helps Lewiston get a playground A new playground in Lewiston will likely be constructed at 210 Hayman road, with a decision by District Council of Mallala expected at the next meeting on May 24. Council received $58,000 from a Community Infrastructure Program grant, and four locations were inspected for the proposed playground. The options were Two Wells Pony Club facilities on Aunger road, Hams Park off Dohnt road, Lewiston Wetlands, both Hayman and Dawkins road ends and 210 Hayman road. Councillors have identified issues of concern with the Pony Club and Hams Park, with verbal feedback suggesting these are unsuitable for a playground. Staff also identified issues with a playground being located next to a wetland, therefore the Lewiston Wetland was also ruled out. The site at 210 Hayman road is owned by council and is leased on a monthly basis. A house on this property contains asbestos and will need to be demolished

with all asbestos removed from the site by suitably qualified people. A general clean up of the property will also be required before construction can be approved. Council has received a quotation of about $10,000 to remove the asbestos. Strategic community and governance committee has recommended council include $25,000 for the remediation of this site in the 2010-11 budget. Strategic infrastructure and planning committee recommended council confirms 210 Hayman road as the site for the Lewiston playground, and authorises staff to take all administrative and operational activities necessary to complete the construction of the playground by mid-October 2010. Council grants • Funding projects for community groups in the Clare and Gilbert Valleys outlined in the Plains Producer last Wednesday were last year’s recipients. The 2010 grants will be announced in coming weeks. The Plains Producer apologises for any confusion.

Smooth run with tests

Local schools completed the National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) tests last Thursday, and tests have been “packaged and bundled up” to be marked. Balaklava Primary School principal, Dale Gathercole, said the process went very “smoothly”. “We made sure the students were comfortable and understood the long process. It would have been difficult for some students so we encouraged them to bring along books to read when they finished the tests,” Ms Gathercole said.

Ms Gathercole said Balaklava was fortunate because staff were dedicated and had been integral in supporting students during the process. Owen Primary principal, Alec Tibbitts, also said the tests were administered and carried out appropriately and students and teachers will be awaiting the results due in September. Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 students were required to take English, reading and numeracy tests. The tests will be used to compare schools’ academic scores. Some teachers across the state are facing controversy for interfering with tests.

Anger…. is often a grief feeling. We expect grief to be crying and sadness, yet for many people it is lashing out at others. When we are in a situation we cannot change, the helplessness, is often expressed as anger and complaining. Needing, on a sub conscious level, to express our frustration using misdirected anger. An example is a resident in a Nursing Home. Perhaps a loss of independence, mobility, control over their lives can result in constant complaining as a way of regaining a sense of self.

About 50 people attended the Red Cross morning tea at Long Plains on Wednesday, May 12. Area co-ordinator, Jenny Tiller, gave an update of Red Cross news, with highlights from the membership assembly. It was encouraging to hear there are now young people who are joining the volunteer ranks of Red Cross. Guest speaker was Eric Webb from Spring Gully foods. He explained the history of the company and the people who have influenced it from its humble beginnings to the highly respected company it has become today. They still use their original recipes! The company provides products to Kraft Foods – this is the longest continuous provision to a company in Australia. Samples of Spring Gully products were provided at the morning tea. A raffle and well-stocked trading table added to the fundraising for the day. This is the final fundraiser for the branch before the Red Cross baby competition closes for the year. The Long Plains Red Cross baby this year is Christopher Leak.

NEWS v District n SNAPSHOT ON THE FEDERAL BUDGET:

‘Real help with cost of living’

.... says local MP, Nick Champion

TrustPower’s Rodney Ahern with Sue Fountain and Fiona Carty of Snowtown Archives.

What’s in the wind?

The Snowtown community has been provided with information about the proposed wind farm expansion. Landowners met at the Community Centre last Thursday and received detailed information and heard of proposed variations to the original proposal. There was a display of maps and photo montages of how stage two would look if approved by Wakefield Regional Council. Stage one of the project was completed in November 2008, and in the Plains Producer of May 5, renewable energy producer TrustPower Ltd, announced the project would proceed to

stage two. Business development manager, Rodney Ahern, said Stage two would be more than twice the size of stage one, which is likely to contribute a return to the community of about $1.2 million a year. The wind farm expansion is expected to create about 10 permanent jobs in a boost for the local community. Lights on top of the turbine towers will be switched off after negotiations with the Civil Aviation Authority. A report said the risk factor to aircraft was low. Hallett windfarm tower lights also have been switched off

Families, low income workers and seniors in Wakefield received further tax cuts in the Rudd government’s Federal Budget last week. It will be the third year in a row this demographic received tax cuts and will help working families in Wakefield balance the family budget. Federal member for Wakefield, Nick Champion, said he welcomed the tax cuts. “These cuts will deliver real help in dealing with the cost of living,” Mr Champion said. Mr Champion said the people of Wakefield had benefited significantly from three years of tax cuts. In 2010-11, a worker earning $20,000 will pay $750 less in income tax, a worker earning $50,000 will pay $1750 less in income tax, and a worker earning $80,000 will pay $1550 less in income tax. From July 1, low incomes workers in Wakefield will be able to earn up $16,000 and not have to pay income tax (up from $11,000 in 2007-08). “This is a real benefit for low income and part time workers, in particular mums working part time in retail and hospitality, who will now be able to earn a lot more income without having to pay income tax,” Mr Champion said. “This year’s Budget will also increase the amount of income a senior Australian eligible for the senior Australian tax offset (SATO) can earn before they pay income tax or the Medicare Levy,” Mr Champion said.

Doctors frustrated

SHARON Higgs, Shirley Talbot and Amanda Higgs inspect displays during the information session.

Plains Producer, Wednesday May 19, 2010

THE Rural Doctors Association of Australia (RDAA) says it is “very frustrated” with the glaring absence of serious measures to boost the rural doctor workforce in the Budget. “When it comes to real measures to improve access to healthcare in the bush and entice more doctors and other health professionals to rural and remote Australia, this Budget is in serious need of a doctor...literally” RDAA President, Dr Nola Maxfield, said. “While a number of initiatives are positive for Australia’s health system, the Rudd government is still not focusing on the main game in fixing the rural health crisis—the need for more realistic

measures to entice more doctors to work in the bush. Instead of trying to paper over poor access to after-hours medical care with the Medicare Local national health telephone service, why not put in place real measures to get more Doctor Locals into the bush? “We welcome the new funding to recruit practice nurses, as this will better support rural practices in employing these health professionals and widen the scope of services they can provide to their patients. “We also welcome the increased locum support to enable rural nurses to take a break or undertake upskilling, and encourage the government to expand this to midwives as well. “While we acknowledge the announcement some additional infrastructure funding assistance for practices to supervise the GP training and prevocational placements, it doesn’t appear to be anywhere near the amount required to meet demand. This will make it extremely difficult for the government to drive forward any real uptake of this measure if practices simply can’t afford to take on these placements.”

SAFF critical

South Australian Farmers Federation (SAFF) president, Peter White, expressed grave disappointment the Budget did not significantly recognise and contribute to the future growth and success of the agriculture sector. “We’ve long suspected agriculture just isn’t on the government agenda and this Budget confirms it,” Mr White said. “Agriculture has been a key driver in maintaining Australia’s economic stability and it’s time significant monies are poured into research and development to increase productivity and maintain our global competitiveness.” Apart from funding to re-rail the National Rail Network from Broken Hill to Whyalla the bulk of the $1 billion of investment in rail / freight infrastructure will be spent in New South Wales. Mr White said rural and regional South Australia desperately needed infrastructure upgrades and investment to attract business and deliver produce to domestic and export markets.

NEWS v District

Priority roads named

Gawler River road (District Council of Mallala) and Saints-Whitwarta road (Wakefield Regional Council) have been named priority roads to receive funding for upgrades following a rigorous assessment process by the Central

Region Transport Committee of the Local Government Region of South Australia. Gillentown road in Clare and Gilbert Valleys council was also named on the list of 13. These projects have been submitted to the 2010 round

of the Special Local Roads Program. Applications will now be assessed at a statewide level by the Local Government Transport Advisory Panel before a final decision is made by State and Federal Ministers.

Korunye boom gates operating

Drivers will benefit from increased safety on the Two Wells–Mallala road with boom gates, lights and bells now operating at the Korunye Crossing. The notorious crossing is the most recent of several railway crossing upgrades completed across the district in the past six months, along with

Cameron terrace, Mallala and Erith Avon road, Avon and Elizabeth street, Two Wells. The projects were delivered by the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC). The Federal government spent a total of $13.6 million on railway upgrades across South Australia as part of the economic stimulus plan.

Work on the ‘Nine mile’ Roadworks along the Balaklava–Adelaide road ‘Nine Mile’may slow motorists down for about a month, but the end result will improve road safety.

The project began last Monday as the Department of Transport Energy and Infrastructure widens about 6km of road by shoulder sealing. Work should be completed by early June.

Section of highway upgraded Safety on National Highway One will be further improved when reconstruction works are undertaken to extend shoulder sealing from Port Wakefield through to Dublin. Work has started and is scheduled to be completed by June 30, 2010. About $1.7 million is being provided as part of the Federal government’s Nation Building and Economic Stimulus Strategy. An SA Department of Transport Energy and Infrastructure (DTEI) spokesperson said there had been several run-offroad crashes on this sec-

tion of road in the past. Work will involve reconstruction and sealing of the shoulders on about 22 km of road. The work is a continuation of previous shoulder sealing completed in 2009 from south of Port Wakefield to Inkerman. Traffic and speed restrictions will be in place. DTEI advises motorists single lane closures can be expected with only one lane available within the immediate vicinity of shoulder work. Traffic management such as advance warning and roadworks signs will be in place

No Tour for peninsula or Clare

n TWO WELLS:

South Australia’s popular cycling event, the Santos Tour Down Under, will not pass through our region in 2011, with District Council of Copper Coast unsuccessful in its bid to host a leg. Clare and Gilbert Valleys Council has also missed out on hosting another stage of the event next year. The successful applicants will be announced at the launch of Mutual Community tour route in early July. District Council of Copper Coast chief executive officer, Peter Dinning, said council was disappointed with the decision. “We will certainly consider applying in the future,” he said. The dates for the 2011 event were announced on Friday, with Adelaide set to kick off the world cycling tour season from January 16 to 23. Tourism Minister, John Rau said the 2010 event was the biggest and most successful yet, attracting more than three quarters of a million spectators and about 40,000 visitors from interstate and overseas.

Two Wells businessman, Andrew De Dezsery has been selected as a finalist in four categories of the national vegetable industry awards. Andrew is an aquaculture expert and is director of Aquaculture Advantage, which is based in Two Wells. He is a finalist for the following categories: • Grower of the year • Researcher of the year • Industry Recognition Award • Industry Impact Award George Vorrasi, also of Two Wells, is a finalist for the Productivity Partner Award. Winners will be announced on May 29 during the Ausveg National convention on the Gold Coast. Aquaponics is the technology of combining aquaculture (raising fish in a controlled environment) and hydroponics (growing plants without soil by nutrients mixed in water) in a symbiotic, recirculating system that channels the nutrient waste from the fish into root zones of green leaf plant product. In March, Mr De Dezsery received the distinguished recognition of Stanford Who’s Who, and ranks with fellow leading professionals in the 2010 line up due to his exceptional effort of over 20 years in the Aquaculture Industry

ALMOST GONE: Only the framework remains as volunteers dismantle the old Balaklava CFS station. INSET: Ryan Greenshields removes the exterior cladding.

CFS prepares for new station Balaklava CFS shed was dismantled by CFS members and volunteers from Urlwin Park museum on Saturday, making way for new headquarters. The old shed will be reconstructed at Urlwin Park for the museum’s use and a new CFS shed will be built and is expected to be completed within four months. It is appropriate to detail in SA History Week the history of the CFS and the shed. In 1944, the then Premier of South Australia, Sir Thomas Playford, announced the Civil Defence would be wound down and the equipment from metropolitan civil defence units would be transferred to rural councils for fire protection.

Manned by volunteers, this was the beginning of the Balaklava Fire Brigade. In the following 30 years, the brigade worked hard to raise funds to purchase necessary fire fighting equipment and the townspeople fought to keep the brigade operating. In 1977, the responsibility for the fire service was transferred to the Emergency Fire Service (EFS) and a new station was built by the volunteer members. It was officially opened on February 28, 1978. The Country Fire Service (CFS) was commissioned in 1979 and took responsibility for the brigade. In 1993 a new communications

room, shower and toilet facilities were added to the station. Without the existence of volunteers the CFS would not exist. Until the new station is completed, CFS radio base will operate from former ABB offices. Although much is provided through the CFS, the new building will require a number of items to make it state of the art for our volunteers. • YOU can help the CFS by making a tax deductible donation (over $2). Cheques should be made payable to the “Wakefield Plains CFS Group” and sent to the Administration co-ordinator, Wakefield Plains CFS Group, PO Box 394, Balaklava 5461.

Next move in Riverton skate park proposal Clare and Gilbert Valleys Council (CGVC) will consult further on Riverton community’s need for a BMX/skate facility. Riverton Community Management Committee prompted the concept of a BMX track a few years ago. Council was again

presented with the proposal at this month’s meeting. With the success of the skate park in Clare, there is an emerging interest the Riverton skate park facility may supersede the BMX project. Riverton Community Management Committee and Riverton

It’s trip

Recreational Grounds Management Committee has explored the idea in recent meetings. Council will investigate further through its Youth Advisory Committee and a community survey will probe the type of facility and best location.

Clare CWMS progressing While Port Wakefield’s community wastewater management scheme (CWMS) may have a few hiccups along the way, Clare’s CWMS is said to be progressing well. Clare and Gilbert Valley’s Council was updated on the progress at its recent meeting. Council was informed the plant is nearing completion with 70 per cent of pipework completed, bored and trenched. The golf course dam construction is also underway and the pump station is due for completion this week. CWMS schemes in Riverton and Saddleworth are completed, with all pipework installed.

Young Tigers battle hard against Roosters Two Wells 9-9 (63) d United 0-15 (15)

junior colts LOCAL umpires trained with AFL and SANFL umpires at the Central Zone umpires training session on May 12.

Local umpires train with best By Bronte Hewett Two Wells oval was host to the Central Zone umpires training session on Wednesday night, May 12, with a strong turnout of over 100 people making it a successful evening. Local umpires from the Adelaide Plains, North Eastern and Barossa Light and Gawler Leagues had the chance to train with the highest-level umpires, with Jonathon Creasy, James Ralston and Sam Hay from the AFL and SANFL running the training sessions. It is the first year the Central Zone has held the event, and due to its success, it will be run again next year. Organiser of the event, Jim Goode, said he was very happy with the turn out. “We had about 60 umpires training and it was good for clubs to mix with the umpires afterwards,” he said. “We are just really pleased the country umpires got to train with the SANFL and AFL umpires,” Mr Goode said. Mr Goode said it was great to see the only female umpire, Sarah Jamieson, who umpires the Barossa Light and Gawler league, out training as well. A wine auction took place after training, and this was also a huge success. “We raised $2275 in the wine auction, which is just fantastic” he said. Proceeds go towards junior umpire development, camp quality, motor neuron and breast cancer.

From the start of the match it was obvious that Two Wells had the advantage, with a much bigger side. The Roosters showed great team work all over the field, with Travis Nixon and Lachlan Goss scoring for their team. Ashton Snowden took a great mark for United. Charlie McIntyre and Harry Hosking were fighting for the ball for United throughout the quarter. A nice mark by Travis Nixon saw him put another goal through for Two Wells to end the quarter United 0-0, Two Wells 4-3. A quick goal to Lachie Goss saw Two Wells start the second quarter running. Riley Curnow took a great mark but his kick missed the target. Jayden Grantham had a great run towards goal for Two Wells but unfortunately only scored a point. Two more goals for Two Wells saw them end the quarter withough letting the young Tigers score, United 0-0, Two Wells 8-9. The Mercy Rule was implemented after half time which made a much more evenly contested game. Daniel Coombe put United’s first score on the board - a point. Riley Lane and Charlie McIntyre kept United in the match. Dylan Bigg put through United’s first goal. Blake Catanzariti and Jack Henneker boosted United with great chase and tackling. Two more quick goals to United through Daniel Coombe and Harry Hosking made the scoreboard look better. Brett Robinson, who was playing for Two Wells, put through their only goal for the quarter. United 3-5, Two Wells 9-10. A great mark by Charlie McIntyre saw United take the ball forward and Jack Henneker capitalised for United. Nik Seccafien, James Gameau, Sheldon Stanley and Dylan Kotsano showed great team work all day for Two Wells. Jared Pratt finished the day with a goal for United. Final score United 5-5, Two Wells 11-12.

Close encounter!

Two unbeaten teams…one point sees Mallala with the win was another to lift in ruck nullifying the Eagles’ ascendency. Daniel Richards in his best game for Mallala, Ben Work, and Daniel Jennings both creative playmakers. The Eagles not only had Scott Allen as their only multiple goal kicker, he was also their best. After a sluggish start to the year, Mallala have now chalked up three in a row.

By Lindsay Nesbit

A grade.

First versus second, both teams unbeaten, the Mallala v Hummocks game promised to be a beauty. That promise was delivered when Mallala got up by a solitary point. After looking good midway through the second quarter, Mallala had to withstand several Eagles comebacks, and come from behind more than once to secure victory. The match began at a relentless pace, both defences under plenty of pressure. It was a little goal square toe-poke from Luke Knappstein that gave the Eagles the first goal of the match, and an early lead. But then the Mallala midfield lifted, delivering the ball accurately to Brian Montgomery, who went on a roll kicking the next three goals for Mallala. Brad Hardie was on fire for Mallala on his wing. Jacob Walsh had his hands full in ruck but was picking up possessions around the ground. The Eagles had numerous good players in the opening term but just couldn’t show it on the scoreboard. The Eagles opened with the first goal in the second term, but again Mallala replied. Brian Montgomery got his fourth and Mallala’s fourth. Daniel Feeley soon got in on the act, kicking his first, and then the returning Paul Blacket seized a loose ball in the goal square and kicked Mallala’s sixth. Mallala with a 25 point lead. The biggest lead of the match was about to disappear as the Eagles responded. The crowd could sense a change come over the game as goals to Nathan Young, Luke Knappstein and Young again bought HWE back to a goal behind at half time. Shaun Light had taken over in ruck, and the quality Eagles midfield played up the advantage. Joel Montgomerie and Jason Earl picked up their work rate and both players were influencial. A one-goal lead to Mallala at half time, the game about to get a whole lot more exciting. Although Mallala scored a behind to open the third, it was the Eagles that virtually picked up where they had left off at the break. The Eagles came out and kicked the first three goals after the main break. Ryan Reid, Shane Braham, and Nathan Young put HWE in front. Six unanswered goals to the Eagles. Mallala were challenged and needed to lift, and lift they did. James Wildbore, Brett Tucker, Tim Cawrse, and Chris Hallion held the defence together while brothers Joel and Ryan Montgomerie and Jason Earl kept pushing the ball forward. Aaron Lawrie proved his value to the ‘Pies with another goal. The Eagles replied, but again Mallala were able to match them when Ryan Montgomerie came up out of defence to kick the ‘Pies’ ninth. Only three points in it at the last break. As in the third term, it was the Eagles that got the jump early. Doing all the attacking, HWE scored the first two goals of the last quarter, this time from the boot of Shane McGuiness. HWE with an 11-point lead.Again, Mallala came back. Joel Montgomerie and Jason Earl had made the second half their own whenever Mallala were threatened. Daniel Feeley goaled for his second and the margin was back to five points. Joel Montgomerie to Ryan Montgomerie to Brad Hardie to Brian Montgomery, and goal number five to the Mallala full forward. The ball had gone from the Mallala back pocket to a Mallala goal, untouched by Eagle players. The Eagles came back but could only manage a couple of behinds when goals were desperately needed. A sensational smother by Tim Cawrse summed up the endeavour of the Mallala defence in the dying moments. Mallala supporters were keen to offer the umpires plenty of advice with a last term free kick count going the Eagles’way, seven to three. When the two unbeaten teams clash and the final result is a one point margin, exciting seems like an understatement. Coach Keith Earl said the “young players have stepped up to cover injuries and have done the club proud”. Jason Earl was best for Mallala with Brad Hardie again displaying all his skills. Joel Montgomerie back to his best, Tim Cawrse a rock at centre half back, Brian Montgomery for his five goals, and Ryan Montgomerie who rose to the top when the pressure was on. Marc McEvoy,

RYAN Reid takes a mark in the Eagles’ forward pocket during the A grade match against Mallala. The scoreboard in the background, displaying scores 10 minutes into the third quarter, shows how close the match was.

Aaron Lawrie, Brett Tucker, and Sam Angus were others who really put in. Shaun Light was brilliant all day, once again proving to be the premier ruckman in the APFL and another best-on-ground effort for the Eagles. David Barnes was in everything all game. Shane Braham in yet another impressive performance. Andrew Hunt, Jarred Manners and Travis Sharpe were other Eagles to play well. Ryan Reid and forwards Nathan Young and Luke Knappstein kicked five goals between them. The next time these sides meet, expect another close encounter.

Mallala beat the Eagles by 27 points in an entertaining game. After a scoreless first quarter, HWE came out and took a comfortable lead into the half time break. Unfortunately for the Eagles, that was about it for the day with Mallala convincingly outplaying them in the second half. The game started off with defensive football from both sides. Skill errors weren’t uncommon, and goals were rare. Mallala’s Jesse Crewdson picked up some handy touches, scoring the only goal for the first term. Crewdson had served notice of his influence on the game along with Rhys Argent, Ben Work, Russell Helps, Karl Algar and Ryan McGannon. Darren carpenter was another set for a big game. HWE had plenty of goers but just couldn’t put a score on the board. Scott Allen, Michael Curnow and Matthew Schutz played well. Other Eagles to open well were Joshua Mahoney in ruck, James Anderson, Matt Hoepner and Aaron Spearen. It was anybody’s game at quarter time. The Eagles turned the game on its ear in the second quarter. Finally some movement and cohesion and HWE looked the team to beat. The Eagles were much more intense and doing all the attacking. Josh Mahoney took control in ruck and fed a much improved midfield. The Eagles looked the goods, adding four goals to nothing. Mallala pushed aside as HWE went to the main break seemingly in control. Scott Allen was the pick of the Eagles’ forwards, with good support from Thomas and James Anderson. Ryan McGannon was best of the Magpies in an ordinary term of football by the home side. The match was turned on its head after half time. Whatever coach Richard Crewdson said at half time, Mallala should try and bottle. The

‘Pies were a completely different side going into attack from the first bounce. Jesse Crewdson kicked two early goals. Derek Tiller the first of his three. Crewdson with another from outside 50m – a huge kick. Daniel Jennings in his first game back joined the Mallala goal-kicking party. Soon-to-be-confirmed man of the match Jesse Crewdson had taken the game by the scruff of the neck in an awesome display of football. Scott Allen goaled early in the last quarter for HWE. The Eagles gave themselves a chance to get back into the game. It was a chance that was short lived. Successive goals from Derek Tiller effectively killed off any chance of an Eagles revival. Mallala had settled and again took control of the game. Darren Carpenter went to full back, releasing Ryan McGannon to the forward lines. The Mallala regular full back enjoying a rare kick at goal, it never looked like missing and the Ryan McGannon major completed a good day for Mallala after the second quarter scare. Jesse Crewdson was best for Mallala. Rhys Argent came back hard after half time with a solid and consistent half of football. Peter Hanton

A dominant first half set up a comfortable win for Mallala. Four goals to nil at quarter time, then eight to one at half time, it was a lead that was to prove beyond HWE. To their credit, the Eagles matched Mallala after half time. Mallala are enjoying their best year at this level for a couple of years, and were keen to keep second spot on the ladder. Best on ground for Mallala was co- captain Jake Drew, for the third time in the last four games. Ben Martin is another Pie having a big year. Other Mallala performers were Jake Birchmore, Lewis Helps, Dale Sutton and Charles Fry. Co-captain Chase Bethune and Jake Birchmore were the stand-out forwards with five goals apiece. Singles were kicked by Jake Drew, Zac Hallion, and Jake Charnstrom. HWE had Nathan Greenshields in his first game for the year as their best player. Shane McGuiness put in another solid performance up forward, along with Casey Lane-Watson, Thomas Lawson, Ben Nicholls, and Nik Williams. Shane McGuiness continued his fine form in front of goal by booting four, keeping his place as theAPFL leading goal kicker. Peter McMillan with two was the other HWE goal scorer. A 47 point win to Mallala, with the promise of more to come.

Junior Colts

The Eagles overcame a scoreless first quarter to defeat Mallala by seven points. Trailing all day, the Eagles pulled out a strong last term to secure victory, out-scoring Mallala five goals to one. Acting captain Brandon Taylor booted two goals for the Eagles, further confirming his role as a key forward. He also figured in their best players. Jack Hoepner, William Angel and Scott Parker were the other goal kickers for the Eagles. Bradey Krieg, TreyAndrew, Christopher Veitch, Nathan Studham, and JordanAlsop were best for HWE. Mallala produced four single goal kickers in Benjamin O’Leary, Adam Coe, Josh Watson, and Jarrad Dunstan. Jarrad is presently second on the leading goal kickers, behind Eagle Brandon Taylor. Mallala had captain Reece Svetec as their best, being dominant in his position of centre half back. Vice-captain Josh Watson put in another top effort to be among the Magpies’ best. Mallala were also well served by Brad Wilson, Adam Coe, Benjamin O’Leary and Angus Clothier. Both the Eagles and Mallala look set for good seasons.

Leading Goal Kickers

Since H W Eagles’ 2006 premiership, the side has lost top players (circled from left): Brad Valentine, Sam Jericho, Paul Chivell, Dylan Cicolella, Joel Wilson, Evan Arnold, Shaun Price (back), Tim Trussell, Dillon Catford and Damon Case. Not visible: Derek Barr and Daniel Thomas. Yet the Eagles still managed to grab the 2008 flag.

Although the previously undefeated HWE side lost by a solitary point in the encounter against flag favourites Mallala, they have started the 2010 season extremely well. Had the match been played at their Port Wakefield home, the Eagles could well have won – and be sitting outright top of the APFL ladder. The return to near APFL best form of ruckman Shaun Light and on-baller Jared Wilson in 2010, plus the improvement of many lessfamiliar Eagle names have contributed to the a great start to this season. Although Reid, Braham, Barnes, Sharpe, Young and Higgs and co remain, it’s hard to think that this time last year you could take livewire forward Sam Jericho, goal-kicker Daniel Thomas and ruckman/centre half forward Shaun Price out of a side that finished fourth and the Eagles could still be a force! While it’s only early days, you must commend the Eagles’ efforts thus far in 2010. Of course it’s not the first the Eagles have had to deal with important player losses. Just look at the Eagles Premiership side of 2006 (pictured) and how it compares to the weekend’s team: Since HWE’s 2006 premiership they have lost “top tier” players such as: Evan Arnold – APFL leading goalkicker 2005, 2006; Joel Wilson – APFL rep and

Came and went: Daniel Thomas – APFL representative and HWE leading goal kicker 2009. How the Eagles continue to be such a competitive unit despite many household names departing from the club which won five premierships in eight seasons 2001-2008, continues to surprise everyone. The players mentioned above were far from average. They were all stars of the APFL – aside from Thomas, each one is a multiple premiership player. There are nine of these top tier contributors

– which make up half a playing side. All of these players were Eagles in 2006 and to my knowledge, only three have retired (six are now playing elsewhere). It is conceivable that if any other team was to lose this talent they would be decimated both physically (as a side) and mentally. But not HWE – they have huge resolve. Certainly the Eagles seem to work harder, tackle harder and apply more pressure than most other sides. Perhaps the Hummocks-Watchman Eagles, more than any other side, epitomise the fact games certainly aren’t won on paper – and in 2010 you are now seeing a new bunch of Eagles players pulling on the jumper each week, keen to become the next bunch of “household” names. Players like Knappstein, Rowe, Baker, Oswald and Forrest are now becoming more recognised and teaming up well with the growing reputations of premiership medal holders Manners, Guthberg and Joe Wilson types. Lee Belperio and the Hunt brothers are now along for the ride. Although last year the Eagles failed to lay a glove in their finals campaign, this year they have started like the Eagles of old, and you must have an enormous amount of respect for a club like this.

Roosters will unleash pace on Tigers •From back page

Two Wells v Hamley Bridge

The most exciting factor about this match is that Hamley Bridge are of course coming off a win, their first in two seasons. Although their bye last week was about as ill timed as you can get given their recent boost of confidence, their win against United a fortnight ago will give them a huge amount of self belief knowing that a win feels great and is not out of reach so long as they play four quarters of committed football. Winning by 50+ points against the Tigers, backing up from a 13 goal losing contribution against Virginia proves the Bombers are more than capable. Hamley Bridge will look for

Schahinger, Weise, Lockwood, Allen, Smith, Gregory, Slok and the Natt brothers to set the standard it is the remainder of the Bombers playing group that must again play with that desperate, but energetic and fluent style that can be so impressive. Home side Two Wells had just one win on the board until last weekend when they defeated United. Despite missing full forward Wally Hand, centre half forward Travis Uren and midfielder Willy Sansbury from last year’s grand final side, the Roosters are still a formidable unit and still boast class acts in Lee Allmond, Ned Seccafien and Tallan Leighton. They also have a young ruckman in Ben Slattery and the competition’s most under-

rated defender, captain Scott Humphrys. Last weekend Two Wells kicked a number of their 13 goals from the goal square – a result of hard running from the likes of Spiteri, Kahn Leighton, Williams, Hines and McDonald. This weekend the Roosters will look to unleash more pace on the Bombers.

Virginia v United

This season could not have started any worse for United results wise! The Tigers are in unfamiliar territory in seventh place on theAPFL ladder, winless after six rounds. Virginia on the other hand were looking good until last weekend’s loss to Balaklava. The Rams started 2010 in hope of back to back finals appearances but

now sitting at 2-3 both them and United (0-5) are in an interesting predicament. United aren’t playing well but they certainly can improve on where they are at. United coach Travis Opitz has been reluctant to use injuries as an excuse but certainly they have hampered his Tigers so far. Virginia’s loss at the weekend suggests they too have work to do. Should they be upset by United this week it drops them back a rung and into the pot with the Tigers and Bombers. The Rams will go in overwhelming favourites no doubt thanks to a gun midfield unit, a man mountain full forward and of course home ground advantage. If United can find second gear they may just make things interesting.

North Clare inflicts Cats’ first loss Round 5 in review By Peter Argent North Clare inflicted the Cats first loss of the season in a physical and entertaining game of football at Blyth oval. The ladder-leading Blyth/Snowtown side were slow out of the blocks, and by half time were already over three goals down. After an even third quarter the Cats made a real charge at the start of the last, but North held on and grabbed the vital premiership points, The final margin was just 10 points. “We were flat the previous week and flat for the first three quarters of this game, which was very frustrating,” BlythSnowtown coach Brett Ireland said. “We certainly had a crack in the last quarter, but North deserved to win the game with their performance over the course of the game.” Brett Ireland tried three different players on Nick Prokopec, but the “Goliath” finished with eight goals, and took a number from strongly contested marks. “In the end he (Prokopec) was the difference between the two sides with 8.5 for the game,” Ireland continued. “While the three guys tried hard of Nick, we didn’t dry up the supply to him and guys like Craig Jaeschke, Josh Hollitt and Andrew Waters got plenty of contested ball and delivered it well. “Brad Bell was definitely our most consistent player over the course of the day, but many of our group fell in and out of the contest.” Former Roosters coach, Craig Jaeschke made plenty of space to use his skills, while around the ball Josh Hollitt (in a helmet) and Andrew Waters were industrious all game. Andrew Amey was a good target at centre half forward and Brendon Pudney played his role well. Brad Bell was certainly the Cats being creative and pushing forward to kick two goals. Nick Humphrys tidied up many times in defence, while midfielders James Taylor, Glen Hayes and Simon McCormack collected this share of possessions. Jarrod Gillings kicked three goals for the day, but wasn’t as damaging as he could be, while Scott Atkinson kicked a couple as well from his wing.

The 2009 Mail Medallist Ryan Darling had a hard tag all game, and although he wasn’t a major influence, he still claimed a good share of possessions. In a game been two winless combinations going into this round five clash, South Clare collected their first premiership points in a one-sided contest. At Clare oval, the Demons started at a frenetic pace, kicking five goals to one in the opening term and then followed this with another six in the second, to be 59 points up at half time. The procession continued in the second half and Matt V a n deleur troops comprehensively beat its opponents by 106-point margin. After a modest return in his first month of football for the Demons, Michael Liebelt exploded into action, kicking nine goals in attack for the Dees, in a “best on ground” display. Fellow forward Ben Seymon finished with six goals as well, while Josh Young kicked three. On-baller Brodie Murphy, Heath Ward, the ultra consistent Andrew Vandeleur, youngster Jed Dunstan and the hard running Wayne Hutchinson all had an impact in the contest. Jordan Kotz produced his best game in the Saints tri-colours rucking all day, while Kip Dunstan and 16year-old Zack Tremaine had their moments. Dean Vickery pushed forward to kick three goals, while teenager Clinton Voigt showed his undoubted skills. Andrew Turrell batted manfully for his side’s cause as well. Min/Man crush BSR In a low scoring contest at Mintaro oval, the Eagles were in a dog fight for a half against BrinkworthSpalding-Redhill. But Mintaro-Manoora conceded just one scoring shot after half time – a

point, to win by a large 57-point margin. Sublimely skilled Brad Taylor and his good mate Aaron Bevis were superb in the win, while experienced leader Michael Young, on-baller Luke McDermid and youngster Lachie Sandow were equally impressive. David Mitchell was also noteworthy in his key position role. Both Sandow and Nathan Forrest each kicked as many goals personally as the entire opposing team. Lucindale recruit and Tigers midfielder Jason Zohs was their best, followed by Dustin Pope and the coach’s son David Smith. Big man Alex Smart; Scott Morris and teenager Tyler Stephenson were serviceable for BSR as well. RSMU upset BBH In the match of the round, down at three quarter time, RSMU charged home to collect victory over the reigning premiers, Burra-Booborowie-Hallett by 21 points. During the final term, the Hawks kicked five goals while the home side could only manage to get three points on the board. Interestingly the Rams,

who were 12 points down at half time, kicked 5.3 in the third term, while RSMU only had two scoring shots, both goals. Former Central District premiership junior Don Williams was superb all day in his defensive role in the middle, while young veteran Zack Hier was the general in the back half. Brock Harrison was very competitive in ruck, while Jamie Williams had his kicking boots on, finishing with five goals for the game. James Vandeleur was held to just two goals for the game. Tyson Willmott, David Schulz and Tommy Vater all had an influence as well. Lachlan Riggs played another strong game for BBH in defence, while Boh Wall read the game and used his excellent disposal across half back Johnny Lynch won his shape of the football and Jason Schuppan was a good marking target across half forward. Aaron Spicer had an interesting duel, Harrison in ruck and also displayed some of his athleticism around the ground, while Mark Phin was serviceable in the back six.

Geoff ‘Digger” Thompson finished with three goals for the vanquished, while David Reed was their only other multiple goal kicker. Tight contest expected in rivalry match Cross town rivalry is re-ignited at Clare oval in the milestone 50th year since the separate clubs were recreated. After a brilliant win by the Roosters, North Clare will go in favourites against the Demons, although each time these teams meet, it is a 50-50 contest. Fresh from a win over the Rams, the RSMU Hawks host Mintaro/Manoora at Riverton oval in what is going to be an interesting clash. The battle of the former Broughton league combinations has the BSR Tigers take on Blyth/Snowtown at Brinkworth Oval. After the Cats loss to North Clare, this could be a blow out. Neighbours the Eudunda/Robertstown Southern Saints and the BBH Rams face off at Robertstown oval. Similarly this also could be a one-sided event.

Magpies come out on top after clash against Eagles Mallala 11-10 (76) defeated Hummocks/Watchman 119 (75). The clash between two undefeated teams at Mallala didn’t disappoint with the Magpies narrowly escaping with a one point victory over the Hummocks Watchman Eagles. The two sides fought out a close game, with the Magpies scoring the final goal within the last five minutes to secure yet another win. Magpies got a good start, but HWE gained their momentum in the second quarter and started to control all the ballups. On the ball, Magpie captain Jason Earl played another good game and dominated for the majority of the match. Coach Keith Earl was happy with his team’s performance and said the game was a close slog with a lot of younger players stepping up. “Everyone had to work hard in the last half,” Keith said. Brad Hardie ran the wings again, and had another brilliant game. Magpie Joel Montgomerie played well for the home side on the ball and Brian Montgomery kicked five goals and had four good quarters. Shaun Light was a force for the Eagles once again in the ruck, creating opportunities and moving the ball well. David Barnes had a good game and seemed to move well across the ground, while Shane Braham and Andrew Hunt put in solid four quarter efforts to keep the Eagles in the game. Two Wells 13-18 (96) defeated United 7-8 (50). Two Wells Roosters played a good team game to overcome United Tigers

by 46 points at Long Plains. It was a good four quarter effort from the visitors which got them over the line, with the side getting a lot of drive from the back lines. “We were fairly disciplined over four quarters,” coach Steven Fitzgerald said. “We were also winning in defence which gave us a lot of drive.” James Williams and Tallan Leighton were the driving force coming of the half back, and Daniel Hines was quick and skillful on the wings. Ben Slattery played well in ruck against a much more experienced opponent, while Lee Allmond and Ryan McDonald also had impressive games. Fitzgerald said he was happy in general with the good team footy his side displayed. United coach Travis Opitz said luck hadn’t been on their side for the start of this season. With an injury list including some of United’s key local players, the side again struggled to play out four quarters of solid football. “We can’t keep a settled side,” Opitz said. Several players have been sidelined with injuries over the last few weeks, including Ben Sobey, Josh Tynan, Mark Pym, Heath Pym and Matt East. Adrian Mills has been playing really well for the Tigers, putting in a solid effort every week. Peter Burgoyne has been the prime goal kicker, and put five through the middle posts on Saturday. Maintaining faith in the team, Opitz said the side was still competitive and would keep on working

hard towards gaining their first win for the season. Balaklava 17-12 (114) defeated Virginia 11-6 (72). Balaklava had a big win over the Virginian Rams, upsetting the visitors by 42 points. Atight first quarter saw the Rams gain a slight lead at quarter time, but leg speed on the bigger oval and team work were the difference for the Peckers in the end. “We were a bit quicker and that was the difference towards the end,” Peckers’ coach Stuart Lamond said. Balaklava’s second and third terms were their most influential, maintaining intensity, pressure and work rate to gain an eight goal lead at the siren. “We had fairly good control of the footy. It was a good team win,” Lamond said. Returning to full form after a shearing accident, Todd McPharlin kicked four goals from the centre and helped the Peckers gain momentum up forward. Hayden Walker was good in ruck and Derek Friedrichs had his work cut out on Ram Brendan Niklaus, and managed to restrict the powerful forward to four goals. All the runners and on-ballers played well, with Lamond struggling to narrow the side’s best players down to six. Rams’ coach Greg Phillips said his side was beaten all over the ground, and his credit went to the Peckers’ good team work. “We struggled all over the ground. We were slow

and second to the ball,” Greg said. “We were beaten in ruck, at stoppages and Balaklava kicked accurately when they had to.” With Graham Rigney out with a broken arm, and a question mark over ruckman Ben Galic after an injury during the game, the Rams were lacking strength in the middle. The young legs of Caleb Howell and Mark Nykamp weren’t enough on the day for the Rams, with the pair putting in the hard yards in the half forward and half back lines respectively. Niklaus’ four goal effort contributed to the Rams’ score, however a significant difference in team work saw the Peckers rise up and take the win– showing they are just as competitive as every other team in the league.

Now, no-one could ever accuse me of using mere corroborative detail to lend artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing article but having said that, let me say this - it was one big weekend out our way, with the Maurice Taylor Trophy in our sights plus round two of both the President’s and Captain’s Trophies - and that was just on the Saturday. No less than 29 players were attracted to this feast of possible spoils and of them only one, Mr. Michael Hahesy, proved good enough to win the Maurice Taylor Trophy with a field-streaking Par comp. score of +6. A swollen A grade field tramped off across the fairways to be led home by club champ. Bill Parkin (+5). Wayne “Nine Knuckles” Nagle (+2) stormed into second place while “Rotten Ron” Butterworth (+1) had to settle, with great discomfort, for 3rd. The bulk of the mob comprised I. Michael (square), D. Taylor (-1), R. Hart (-3), W. Lokan (-3), G. Spence (-5), P. Lamont (-5), M. Smith

(-7), C. Michael (-8), M. Hameister (-8) and T. Michael (-8). In the slightly less corpulent B grade it was the turn of Steve Jonas (square) to steal the limelight, his co-stars being Dean “Go Power!” Robinson (square) in seond place and that doyen of the sheep-dip, big Barry Michael (-1) in 3rd. Watching from the mosh-pit were D. Trickett (-2), W. Berry (-2), D. Rodgers (-2), D. Addison (-2), S. Reimers (-4), C. Temby (-9), L. Masson (-10) and R. Burrows, whose score was so mysterious we are not permitted to have it appear in print. From a constricted C grade collective came that Mike Hahesy fella of course, who added first place to his day’s collection with that incredible +6 nonsense, while a far more realistic Austin Henstridge (+3) snuck into second place and a positively down-to-earth Jake Michael (-5) cruised into third. That left just D. Michael (-7) and N. Mellow (-11) to round out the field. Three birdies were achieved, one by Bill Parkin on the 3rd, another by Peter Lamont at the 8th and Wayne Nagle succeeded at the 10th. Nearest The Pins were claimed by Peter Lamont on the 8th, Ian Michael the 10th and Bill Parkin the 15th. Round two of the President’s Trophy resulted in Bill Parkin accounting for Austin Henstridge 2-up while Bill Lokan defeated Peter Lamont 3/2, which means we’ll have a ‘double bill’ feature this Saturday. In their fight for the Captain’s Trophy, Wayne Nagle overcame Bill Berry 4/2 while Robert Hart bested Merv. Hameister 3/1. Last Sunday, no less than 85 players rolled out for the Rotary Club Golf Day to raise funds to fight polio in Africa. Full credit to Mr. and Mrs. Dean Trickett for not only whipping up such a crowd but also organising a highly successful event, which included a roast dinner. Our many thanks also for those whose volunteer efforts made such a magnificent contribution to the event. We should have dipped our collective lids to Scott Michael last week too, as he risked his very manhood by ducking out not long before Mother’s Day Lunch to spray the fairways against that insidious Cape Weed - what a guy! This weekend we battle it out for not only the mighty Mid North Tyres Trophy but also those two aforementioned trophies.

Next week May 22: Saddleworth Handicap Matchplay Trophy. – Rob Benger, Saddleworth Golf Saturday May 15. Competition: Par. Sponsor: Freightmaster. Players: 41. The course was again presented in very good condition, although a little rain wouldn’t go astray to help the grass and slow down the run. Scott Francis’ help with shifting of dirt was much appreciated and the course changes are starting to take shape. Bobby Hogg and his helpers are doing a great job getting the course up each week and are to be commended. Ian Smith, buoyed by last weeks Pinehurst win, continued to show he is far from a spent force carding a fine +11 to win A grade from Simon Grigg on +9 and Ian Clark on +7. I am sure Smiffy will spend the week letting Clarky know that he is on 16.0 to his 16.1. Yogi Frencken continued his fine form to win B Grade with +6, plus win his match play and pick up a meat tray. The question was put whether he had attached his trailer to take home all the prizes. Paul Shields and Rabbitt were close behind on +5. C grade was won by Andrew Baker with +10 from Hans Linford on +9 and Jake Bowden edging out Clive Weller, both on +7. We welcomed more new members in Sam Williams, who although living next door to the course still drove. He put in a credible 101 with some incredibly old sticks which included an actual wood “wood”. Also we welcomed an (old) new member in Bill Goss. There were 12 match plays with some very close results, a couple going to the 19th hole. Results: A Grade: +11 I.Smith, +9 Simon Grigg, +7 I.Clark, +6 Stuart Grigg, L.Grafton, +5 C.Doudle, +4 G.Payne, +3 R.Hogg, R.Thompson, +2 A.Bail, R.Grigg, V.Hatch, -4 S.Abbott.

A perfect day greeted the ladies for their weekly ritual. In Melissa Moulds’ absence, Valerie Carling has been promoted to number one, and can’t wait until Mel gets back to relieve her! Valerie and her Koalas faced Helen Barry’s Polars, making short work of the Koalas 6-36 to 0-11! Helen and Kerry Williams had a good win together with Kerry playing some great lobs. Thanks to Koala Glenda Shepherd, on a bye who rearranged her day to fill-in, had an excellent hit against Kerry all day. Koalas’ Di Meaney was welcomed back from her recent jaunt to Vietnam, but blamed jetlag for her first set shocker with Kevyna Gardner, having to drop their shorts to Shelley Lamond and Roanne Georg. Di’s luck changed as she hit the net tape on numerous occasions with the ball just plopping over. The Polars tried some noise tactics to put off their opposition, with Kerry, Shelley and Roanne all pinching their babies at once to create a chorus line under the verandah. Kevyna and Glenda were unlucky to lose a long 6-4 in their last set to Roanne and Kerry. The other match saw Lorraine Jenner’s Teddies defeat Di Taylor’s Grizzlys 5-34 to 1-20. Roshanna Bull made her debut for Narelle Michael, and after a slow start with Di Taylor, got her eyes in to eventually win her last set with Ruth Martin. A great 6-4 win over Lorraine Jenner and Kerrie Bell. Ruth and Di were also unlucky to lose a tiebreaker to the Lorraine and Colleen Allen in a fantastic set. Grizzlys Kellie Harrison had a good workout against Helen Durdin all day, but Kellie appeared to be distracted! She apparently had a hot lunch date with Andrew, so was on a mission to finish in record time! The experienced duo of Colleen and Helen D had a big last set win over Di and the blushing Kellie, with the latter making a hasty retreat to the car, trying not to show her excitement! Well done to the Teddies on a good win, even though the final score doesn’t indicate how even this match really was. Well done ladies! Until next week when Kellie reports on her lunch date to Roanne… CROQUET can demand intense concentration, as shown here by Nancy Williams, of Balaklava Croquet Club. Clare Croquet Club is trialling a winter competition with players coming from Blyth, Brinkworth, Balaklava, Dublin, Snowtown and Clare. The competition involves players matched to their opponents using their Croquet SA handicap points. This enables players to maintain their skills over the winter period.

Funding boost for sport stars

Budding sports stars have a better chance to receive funding to pursue their dreams, with more Local Sporting Champion’s grants available through the Australian Government. There will be 26 individual grants and four team grants now available for local sporting teams and athletes in the north and country, which is double the amount allocated to the north and country last financial year.

Long track racing – first Balaklava meeting? by Norma Schopp

distance was five miles (8kms) – four laps of the course. A meeting was also held in Adelaide, on the Cheltenham Racecourse, in 1924 but the Gawler venue remained the main venue until 1926 when racing there ceased after the deaths of a rider (Colin Grant) and a mechanic (Francis Loney). They were the first motorcycle sport deaths in SA since inception in 1899. However, the sport of Track Racing had caught on, and more towns looked at staging events with Waikerie, Port Pirie, Strathalbyn and Loxton staging meetings in 1925 and 1926. The Strathalbyn event is believed to be the first time “broadsiding” was introduced in SA, described as “the American style of skidding the

corners”. Johnnie Wise introduced broadsiding, setting the fastest average speed on a SA race track to that time (70mph for five miles). In 1926, the first purpose-built one-mile track was built and promoted by the Motor Cycle Club of SA, on land leased on the new bitumen Main North Road at Smithfield. Riders wanting to practise prior to the first meeting had to obtain the key to gain access to the track, and the land owner had to be advised so he could remove his stock! After the first meeting there, official practise days were set and any rider practising outside the official times faced three months’ disqualification. Smithfield was eventually abandoned when riders preferred to race on the smaller speedway track constructed at the Wayville Showgrounds, but long track style racing continued in some country areas, with Port Pirie becoming the mecca of long track racing with riders and spectators from around Australia flocking to the annual Easter event. The Port Pirie

motor cycle club began in 1924, with its first meeting held in 1926 at the Motordrome (better known as the Lagoon track). It was a shallow clay basin and, prior to WWII, race meetings were often cancelled because of rain, floods or high tides! A new onemile circuit was built in 1946 on the former Civil Aerodrome site, to once again promote “speed meetings”, and this track was used from 1947 to 1966 when it was converted to a half-mile circuit which continued as Australia’s premier long track venue until around 2000. Northern Track Promotions is now trying to rekindle interest in long track racing and, on Anzac weekend this year, a successful meeting was held at Whyalla - the group is committed to running this meeting each year on Anzac Day weekend as long as riders and spectators support it. Trevor Veitch from Warramboo (a former Watchman lad) attended the Whyalla event and supplied this story – thanks, Trevor, for sending me this snippet of history.

Heritage Highlights

We are all familiar with horse racing and, in years gone by, coursing events, bike races etc. around the district, but what about Long Track Racing? Think motor cycle and sidecar racing. Long Track Racing has a long history in SA with meetings going back to the early 1920s. The first long track meeting, called ‘track racing’ in those days, looked like taking place at Easter 1921 on the Balaklava Racecourse. The government of the day had banned road racing which, as the name implies, was originally held on public roads – this action accelerated interest in grass track racing. The Balaklava track racing meeting didn’t actually happen until April 1923, with another race meeting held in October 1923, before the newly formed SA Motor Sporting Club, in conjunction with the Motor Cycle Club of SA, started promoting meetings just a fortnight later on the Gawler Racecourse. A train was provided from Adelaide and racing ran from lunchtime until 5pm. The race

With over two million Australian households owning a dog, it’s no wonder that some of these pets end up sleeping on family beds. Dr Peter Higgins, Spokesman for Dogs NSW says, “Let sleeping dogs lie. If you are comfortable with the idea of your dog sleeping on your bed, and basic hygiene is followed, there is no reason to change a thing.” “Basic hygiene means regular bathing, brushing, and teeth cleaning. It is a good idea to encourage walking before bed, to minimise accidents during the night.” It is important

Let sleeping dogs lie that humans establish themselves as the pack leaders. If a dog challenges for authority, it is best to put a stop to it at once. The dog should be removed from the bed, or from the bedroom. Despite the possible difficulties with behaviour, most dog owners love their pets and enjoy the comfort at night time. Health concerns about dogs sleeping on the bed with their owner have been exaggerated according to Dr Higgins: “Dogs carry very few diseases that are transmissible to humans. That

is a scientific fact. You would have more chance of catching something from a person coughing or sneezing. The big debate of course is: does your four legged friend sleep on top or under the covers?” Dogs can be a big reassurance for deep sleepers. A dog can hear noises, while his owner is asleep. This is a refresh-

ing support for some dog owners, who are prepared to share their warm bedroom to achieve a secure night’s sleep. Many Australian households find more peace when the family dog assumes his place on a family member’s bed, and provides all the comfort and goodwill that comes with being man’s best friend.
