BEWARE

Asbestos warning to home owners

HOME owners in Balaklava and other nearby towns have been warned about the dangers of asbestos used in building many homes in the 1950s and 60s. Former Balaklava resident Kat Burge (nee Kathie Wake) says her father, Clive Wake, used asbestos on all the houses he built in Balaklava, Lochiel, Nantawarra, Halbury and other areas. Mr Wake died of lung related problems which could have been linked to asbestos. Kat was born in Balaklava in 1948 and lived in the town until she was 12. Recently the discovery of asbestos delayed work as Balaklava CFS station was being dismantled. “Younger people are now buying many of these old

houses – and because they have a mortgage they are doing a lot of renovations themselves,” Kat said. She wants to warn the younger generation and organise a free community educational seminar through the Asbestos Victims Association of South Australia (AVASA). Asbestos diseases, such as mesothelioma, are contracted through the inhalation of dust/fibres and can take anywhere from 10 to 40 years to be diagnosed. A patient with mesothelioma often demonstrates symptoms 15 to 50 years after initial exposure to asbestos. n Read the full report and understand the dangers of asbestos on page 9

Elvis Presley is coming to Balaklava. True! But he’s in the form of Conrad Birdie, also known as Tim Heslop, a Balaklava High school student. Cast and crew members of the Bye Bye Birdie production began rehearsing at Balaklava Town Hall last Sunday in preparation for a big weekend of musical comedy at the end of this month. Set in America in the 1950s, Bye Bye Birdie is a stage musical. The story was inspired by the phenomenon of legendary singer Elvis Presley and his draft notice into the army in 1958. Rock star, Conrad Birdie, played by Balaklava High School student Tim Heslop, aims to kiss a girl from his fan club before he leaves for his army duties. Conrad’s love interest is Kim Macaffe, played by Balaklava TAKING a break from rehearsals are Tim Heslop as Conrad Birdie, with Vanessa Barry High School student Vanessa Barry.

What’s ‘on the nose’ could linger until November

he continuing saga of Port Wakefield’s Community Wastewater Management Scheme certainly has turned septic for Wakefield Regional Council. The rest of us have been sucked into the vortex as we watch from afar; one of those “better them than us” moments. A bit of a “NIMBY” – Not In My Backyard – for those living elsewhere. Clearly, there are problems with the CWMS in the Port Wakefield township. It should have been sorted out much sooner but at least that now appears to be happening. This newspaper has reported on developments almost every issue for some weeks now – from the time Darryl Pain first contacted us to reveal his concerns until the fiery council meeting a fortnight ago. We have attempted to give a balanced view, though Blind Freddy could see such negative publicity would create some angst at Scotland place in Balaklava. And remember, the stink over the CWMS has followed hot on the heels of the costly Supreme Court

opment plans of other councils. So WRC could claim legitimate reason for taking up the fight. These recent events have put council between a rock and a hard place. I would go so far to say this period probably has been one of the worst for council in several years. Its record has been reasonably Terry good. For a small council with a Williams large area, it has attempted to service small towns with low ratepayer income. It has been on the front foot in attempting to encourage Editor@plainsproducer.com.au development and business. In dealing with its officers – and stoush council lost to Balaklava against what many who don’t know them well enough might say – I MegaFarmer Peter Evans. So there’s more bitter medicine have found all to be competent, still to be swallowed when council caring people trying to balance finally announces costs awarded on a bouncing tightrope strung between recalcitrant ratepayers and against it. contrary councillors – who, despite Timing could not be worse! There is sure to be more angry the aforesaid description – must reactions from ratepayers. Some, care for their community or they but not many, aired their views wouldn’t be there.

plenty calling for heads to roll. If so, who goes first? The mayor? The CEO? The environmental services manager? The councillors? All of the above? The impending Local Government elections in November will give ratepayers the opportunity to cast their wrath upon the elected members. There could be a backlash in Port Wakefield against local Western ward councillors Scott Kelly and Barry Nottle, who it is known will not seek re-election anyway. It would not surprise me to see a Darryl Pain or someone similar stand for election in Western Ward. But were all councillors “asleep at the wheel” over recent events? Will they all be punished by a vitriolic electorate for not rejecting the advice of legal eagles; for not rejecting recommendations of its officers? For not acting with greater alacrity? Probably not. Apathy will reign supreme. I would go so far as to suggest voting trends will remain as they always have been – very low, though a 30 per cent vote

Say ‘hi’ to Conrad and Bye Bye Birdie • From Page 1 The production stars various students and staff from Balaklava High School and Horizon Christian School, as well as members of the community. Conrad’s manager, Albert is played by Balaklava resident Jonathan Jenkins and Rose, played by Kelly Bickle, from Horizon Christian School, who also teaches drama privately. Responsible for the director’s role is

Bowman’s resident, Danielle Mudge. Musical director is mucis teacher, Heidi Zerk. Before moving their singing and acting abilities to the town hall, cast and crew rehearsed at Horizon Christian School’s drama classroom.

It spawned a London production and several major revivals, a sequel, a 1963 film and a 1995 television production.

is considered good. I would also suggest it might be difficult to find responsible citizens to fill the void if there are “retirements” from the ranks of councillors. Give that some thought before you cast the first stone. Yet already council has decided to reduce its elected representation at the next elections from 11 to 10, plus the mayor. If firebrand Central ward councillor Avon Hudson calls it a day, which is highly likely – the fire in his belly has dimmed and he is known to be bitter and frustrated over council’s management – and Barry Nottle goes, we could have a council operating with eight elected members. Not necessarily a bad thing. Eastern ward Councillor David Lamond, who lives in Balaklava, could be expected to move to Central ward if Cr Hudson retires. But if we lose any others – a distinct possibility as disenchantment rises amongst their ranks given recent events – council could be searching for its meeting “operations manual.” Interesting times.

Grape fund may go

An industry round table will be convened to discuss the future of the South Australian Grape Growers Industry Fund. The fund was established in November 2007 at the initiative of the state’s wine grape growing sector. Growers agreed to pay $1 for each tonne of grapes delivered to a South Australian winemaker for processing to promote and benefit the industry. However, Agriculture Minister, Michael O’Brien, said growers have until the start of the 2011 vintage to prove the fund can be managed satisfactorily or the levy will be discontinued and the fund run down.

Sleep-in shattered as ’quake rocks Plains The strongest earthquake in four years and second major tremor in as many months hit the local region last Sunday. The 5.0 quake struck about 25km northeast of Cleve. Some towns within the Plains Producer circulation area rocked and rumbled about 7.15am. Balaklava resident Peter Rankine felt the tremor at his Francis street residence, saying “it felt like a truck was driving past” his window.

“The windows started rattling and usually they only do that when it’s windy because we have a newer type of windows,” Mr Rankine said. “I called out to my wife and asked her if it was windy – and she said ‘no’. “The whole window shook and I thought it sounded like a truck passing. It lasted about three to five seconds, but when it’s happening you feel like it’s going on forever,” he said. Mr Rankine only discovered it was an earth-

quake after watching the news that day. Another resident, Terry Corcoran, felt the tremor at his Christopher street residence – but said at first he did not realise what it was. “The doors started rattling and the windows shook,” said Mr Corcoran, who knew it wasn’t a truck passing. The tremor was said to have also been felt in towns such as Nantawarra and Clare. Aftershocks were noted by Canberra-based Geoscience Australia seismologist, David

Jepsen, who said an aftershock was noted about 40 seconds after the earthquake on Sunday and another just been noon of about 2.5 on the Richter scale. Sunday’s tremor was felt hundreds of kilometres away, with some people in Adelaide claiming they also felt the tremor. There were no reports of injuries or serious damage. It is the second earthquake in three months, following the 3.8 Mount Barker quake on April 16.

Farmers in ‘a good paddock’ Lauren Hermon reports:

Farmers are overweight due to a lack of manual labour, a new study has found. And some of our Adelaide Plains farmers agree! The study showed 2000 farm men and women had been surveyed over a three-year period to determine their overall health. The study showed the following are some contributing factors to overweight farmers: • Advanced technology of machines; • High stress levels from years of drought and; • Limited access to health care. The National Centre for Farmer Health study also found farmers were less healthy than the average Australian. Young Nantawarra farmer, Joe Wilson said the advanced machinery

MORE FARMING NEWS – PAGE 6 they use were often the cause of some overweight farmers. “Not a lot of farmers fix things themselves any more. We’ve got ma-

chines for that now,” Joe said. As a young farmer, Joe said he still did quite a bit of manual labour. He maintained a lot of farmers could go about

half a day without even having to do anything strenuous. “It’s not like the old days when you’d have to lift bags yourself,” he

said. Balaklava farmer, Matt Tiller, fighting back to health after he suffered an electric shock when on top of a silo in October last year, admits

after quitting football he has become “a little bit unfit”. “I don’t consider myself overweight though,” Matt said with a laugh.

“It depends on what hard labour you have to do. Sometimes you can’t use a tractor to do the really hard manual work.”

Plenty of suggestions in Balaklava youth survey A“famous landmark” was just one of a number of suggestions raised in a recent youth survey conducted by Balaklava Area Committee. The survey, distributed within Balaklava High School, asked a series of questions about the town of Balaklava. Its aim was to discover what the youth of Balaklava and surrounding areas wanted in the town. Students were asked how they

computers for the high school. Then came a famous landmark, indoor basketball centre; tidy up Ralli park; “pretty up” Balaklava; a cinema; improve swimming facilities; upgrade high school’s music room, fix roads; fix the Ralli Park grand stand; a youth centre; a wall for young artists to paint on – and more seating areas around town. Many students suggested local artists put more artwork in the va-

cant shops along Balaklava’s main street, along with encouraging new business, a youth centre and “new paint jobs”. Balakava’s best asset, according to many youths, is its sporting facilities (Ralli Park), as well as the Balaklava Cup (Balaklava Racing Club), the schools, the pool, its shops, emergency services – and the fact it is a small town. The majority of students declared they found out what was happening

around Balaklava through family and friends, the Plain Producer, Facebook, school newsletters and posters around town. The Area Committee aimed to find the key to staying ‘in touch’ with the younger generation through the survey. However, the survey showed only two out of 90 youths were aware of the Area Committee. The survey was conducted by BAC members, Clare Haynes and Lisa Redpath.

Members of Gilbert Valley Probus Club celebrated the club’s 12th birthday in early May, with a lunch attended by members of other local Probus clubs and a contingent from Wallaroo. Following a delicious lunch, guests were entertained by Siahli Schmaal playing the harp. At just 17, Siahli is a talented harpist with a wide repertoire of music. As well as playing the harp, Siahli explained its workings and outlined her musical background, which began with piano at age two. From the time she was four until she was eight, she pestered her music teacher to allow her to play the harp and could not wait until her hands were big enough to do so. Since then Siahli has gone from strength to strength and is now in demand as a harpist.

Towns asked to rekindle fire aid

The Adopt-a-Town group which continues to support Victorian bushfire victims is asking for a hand from town committees in Balaklava, Port Wakefield, Lochiel, Snowtown, Blyth, Brinkworth, Owen and Hamley Bridge. The committee hopes community groups will get involved by planning a fundraising event, either individually or combined with other community groups. Four committee members (Joy and David Woodroofe, Wakefield regional Council Southern Ward councillor, Rodney Reid and Balaklava Area Committee member, Margaret Manuel) visited the bushfire area in March, to see first hand the rebuilding taking place. It is a long road to recovery, and the emotions are obviously still very raw for many of the people. At present Callignee Hall is being rebuilt and there is a community shed being built in Traralgon South At Balaklava Area Committee meeting last week, approval was given to support the call for a fund raising effort. Committee members will contact their various organisations to see how a combined fund raising effort might work. It was envisaged clubs or organisa-

tions could run an event “in tandem”, where the majority of funds might go to a local enterprise, but a portion would be donated to Adopt-a-Town. Another suggestion was for Balaklava businesses to donate collectable deposits from office cans and milk cartons. BAC chairman, Terry Williams, said the idea of using drink container deposits had already worked well for Adopt-a-Town, with proceeds from donated deposits enabling a rainwater tank to be purchased in Callignee. “We are hopeful some sort of campaign could be started within Balaklava’s businesses,” Terry said. “There must be plenty of places around Balaklava where containers are either dumped or claimed by someone. “We are suggesting businesses,

Help in Sudan

Mallala fellowship was joined by guest speakers Pastor Steven Blacket from Magill Church of Christ and Sudanese refugee Thiik Riiny on Thursday, May 27 for the Adelaide Plains Regional celebration. The afternoon raised $906.60 for a worthy project, with about 60 people in attendance. Thiik Riiny was brought to South Australia through Magill Church of Christ. Steven’s passion was kindled after a trip to the Sudan and the area of Aweil Town. Many families have been affected by family separation because of militia attacks, abduction and diseases. There are now 400 orphans needing basic care. Steven was so moved by the hospitality and needs of these people he is working with Pastor Paulino Malou in Sudan to establish an orphanage.

Tom Robinson gets some tips on the RTK network from Michael Hadley, of Ramsey Bros.

Local farm guidance solution Ramsey Bros at Saddleworth have established an RTK Guidance System network. The system is a highly precise technique that results in giving farmers across the region a 2.5cm year to year accuracy. RTK Guidance System provides the type of auto-control being sought after and used by more and more farmers. It can fit to any tractor, make

or model. Ramsey’s Precision ag specialist, Michael Hadley, insists the current farmers using the RTK solution, are finding that it is working well. Am I covered by Ramsey Bros RTK Network? The Ramsey Bros RTK Network covers most of the mid north and surrounding areas with seven sites in operation. From Tarlee in the south through to Burra in the

north and from Bumbunga in the east to Eudunda in the west, the Ramsey Bros RTK network has much of the mid north covered. More RTK sites are being investigated to become operational in the near future. All enquires welcome. Contact Michael Hadley for more details. • Enquiries to Michael on 0428 430 147.

Croppers helping to fight climate change Climate change and a global food shortage loom as two of the greatest challenges facing the world, and more specifically landholders, in the next few decades. Environmental groups are now working closely with government departments to find the best solutions to try to develop best practice farming for the future. According to a Federal House of Representatives’ committee report: “Farming the Future– the role of government in assisting Australian farmers to adapt to the impact of climate change,” a ‘micro-climate’ effect can be achieved with consistent green vegetation. A micro-climate will affect wind, rainfall, sunshine and air temperature. According to a submission to the report, crop farmers already are using this technique. The submission said croppers used slope and row placement and alignment to determine a solar budget’. “They use alley-cropping and shelter belts and mulches...” the submission stated. Growing evidence of possible ramification from climate change proves why the work of Trees for Life has been, and continues to be, so vital.

A South Australian communitybased organisation, Trees For Life offers landholders throughout the state bulk native seedlings at very affordable rates. Trees For Life can provide landholders with a species list suitable for their region.

TREES used as a windbreak. The list includes a height and shape classifications of each plant, what soil type it is best suited to and a description of its possible uses, including windbreak, shade, firewood or shelter. For only $50, landholders can order up to 1000 seedlings if they are Trees for Life financial members. The ordering season ends on July 31. Landholders wanting to order seedlings should phone 8406 0500.

Hot topic at Gawler tonight The sixth public workshop organised by Gawler Regional Natural Resource Centre (GRNRC) will cover climate change and a presenter from the climate project will speak tonight at Gawler Sport and Recreation centre from 7pm. A series of public workshops/seminars has been co-ordinated by NRC this year, including topics such as worm

composting, solar power and energy efficiency. The climate project is the Australian branch of Al Gore’s climate change leadership program, a non-profit organisation founded in 2006. The program aims to educate the public about the harmful effects of climate change and to work toward solutions at grassroots level worldwide.

The Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) is funding two new workshops for agronomists and farm advisers to better understand and communicate to growers the importance of grain quality from the paddock to processor. The two-day workshops – titled ‘Paddock to Processor: How farming practice affects your beer and bread’ – will be held in Adelaide, on July 22. Another is scheduled for Ballarat, Victoria. The workshops, supported by Viterra, focus on improving grain quality through agronomy and storage as well as understanding processor and end market requirements. Workshop participants will hear from industry experts and decision-makers on a range of topics including: •Achieving maximum grain quality in the paddock, in storage and for processors •Receival standards – how and why they are set at current levels •How processors measure grain quality and its importance to their end product •Current and emerging wheat and

barley markets and products •Genetic and environmental factors impacting grain quality. GRDC southern regional panel chair, David Shannon, said the workshops were the first technical workshops on grain quality funded by the GRDC. “This investment reflects the increasing on-farm trend of growers storing grain for sale later in the season,” he said. “The 2010 grain quality workshops bring together industry experts and decision-makers to outline where the storage of grain on-farm is headed and also the importance of maintaining excellent grain quality to maximise sale opportunities.” The workshops are open to advisers, on-farm agronomists, consultants and growers with an interest in learning more about the importance of grain quality. For more information or to register contact Belinda Cay,belindacay@baonline.com.au or 0423 295 576. For those who cannot make it to the workshops, a technical manual of proceedings will be available for purchase in July from the GRDC.

AFTER 15 YEARS, MIDDLE BEACH GETS ITS BOAT RAMP:

Launched! After a 15 year battle, it was appropriate John Drexel was first to launch and retrieve his boat from the new Middle Beach boat ramp on Friday, May 28 – about an hour after its completion. As a member of Mallala Foreshore Advisory Committee and president of Middle Beach Shackowner’s Association, Mr Drexel has been instrumental in the boat ramp process, having first put the idea to District Council of

Mallala in 1995 with no response in the initial stages. The many trials and tribulations of the boat ramp have been reported in the Plains Producer over the past two years, but according to Mr Drexel, the final product is ‘just brilliant’. “It’s been worth the 15 year wait,” Mr Drexel said. Mr Drexel said contractors WATPAC did an excellent job and completed the project within seven weeks.

LETTER to the Editor

here has been recent community speculation over emergency treatment consultation fees charged by doctors attending Balaklava Hospital. In the following Letter to the Editor doctors from Balaklava’s Wakefield Plains Medical Clinic explain how and why costs are incurred by patients seeking emergency treatment at Balaklava Hospital. Anyone with any routine health issues needs to attend at the surgery and not present to the hospital.

Doctors explain ‘emergency fee’ Balaklava and surrounding areas are a pretty good place to live. We are fortunate to have a community with such a variety of available facilities and services. One of the most valuable of these is our local doctors’ surgery and hospital. In these times when so many areas are experiencing a critical shortage of doctors, we are extremely fortunate to have four permanent doctors, who have taken over the reins at Wakefield Plains Medical Clinic (WPMC). All are competent, experienced and compassionate doctors who, along with their families, are also valued members of our community. GP Registrars are also employed at WPMC, for terms of six or 12 months. These are qualified medical practitioners who are continuing training, to specialise in the field of General Practice, and so are dedicated to providing all patients with the best possible care. WPMC services a very large area, creating a patient-load on doctors which often is larger than desirable. However, as this is the only clinic in this location, doctors are obliged to see all patients who request an appointment. This means it is not always possible to get an immediate non-urgent appointment, and sometimes it is difficult to get an appointment with the doctor of your choice. In an emergency, a doctor will always be available as soon as possible, but people are advised to plan in advance for routine visits. Scripts cannot be considered an emergency. Patients can be assured if their preferred doctor is not available, all other doctors have access to that pa-

tient’s files and any doctor can provide the same efficient service. In many other areas, (even some city locations!) it is not possible to get a routine appointment for many days – even sometimes for weeks, so we are extremely fortunate we are not in that position. There are no employed doctors at Balaklava Hospital. It is only through the goodwill of the private doctors at the Wakefield Plains Medical Clinic that an out-patient service is available there after hours. This service is generally for emergencies only, with nurses possibly offering advice before the rostered doctor is called. Doctors are willing and available to attend any patient when necessary – but there is a charge for the service, and all patients will be charged for consultation if a doctor is called. There is a gap amount, which is kept to a minimum, but payment of this gap is expected at the time of the consultation. This is a standard fee only, and dependent on services. The gap payable may be more than the fee paid on the day. An account will then be raised. In comparison to the fee charged at many other hospitals, ours is a very small price to pay for such a vital service. Local doctors are a valuable resource to our community, dedicating long hours to care for all in need. We are hopeful with this explanation of services, the community will acknowledge the dedication, compassion and medical expertise provided at Wakefield Plains Medical Clinic. Dr Tom Lemon, on behalf of Wakefield Plains Medical Clinic.

“They’ve constructed it the exact way we asked and have done a great job,” Mr Drexel said. The benefits of the new ramp include its increased safety, ability to launch two boats at a time, protection from currents when launching or retrieving and solar lighting. Middle Beach is a tidal beach and boaters still need to be well informed about tide activity when launching there. Initially, dredging the creek was

4 Best Range Price 4 Best on wood & Gas being considered to allow for any time access, however the costly process won’t be considered at this stage. Next on the agenda is stage two of the project which includes a car park to the east of the ramp. There is also a possibility council will introduce a ticket box fee system to fund the upkeep of the ramp, however the ramp is open and free for the time being. An official opening is proposed for late June.

Councils in ‘caretaker’ mode South Australia’s 68 councils must adopt Local Government election caretaker policies before June 21 to govern the conduct of elected members and staff during the upcoming election period. Like State and Federal governments, councils have used policies or conventions to manage caretaker issues in the past but changes to laws in late 2009 now make caretaker provisions

mandatory for councils. “Caretaker provisions must take effect from the September 21 close of nominations to run for council, although some councils may choose to initiate their policy earlier than this,” said Local Government Association president, mayor Felicity-ann Lewis. “The caretaker period extends until the declaration of the poll in November.”

Home treats to tempt customers

ALICE Gersch with just some of the goods on sale.

‘Sold’ on helping charity

Operating for 20 years this July, Snowtown’s Bric a Brac shop is the definition of a store that serves its community well. Alice Gersch, who manages the store for Snowtown Lutheran Church, says it amazes her the array of items people bring in to sell, including antiques, crockery, stamp collections and much, much more. Lutheran Bric a Brac is the number one store for those who enjoy collector items and unique products which are often hard to find at general stores around town. Alice insists the shop’s main vision is far deeper than it looks. “It’s not always about selling things,” Alice says. “I meet so many nice people who just want to come into the shop to chat.” All profits go to several charities both locally and overseas. The store is on Fourth street, Snowtown.

NEWS v District

Local home asbestos warning Former Balaklava resident Kat Burge (nee Kathie Wake) is campaigning over asbestos used in building older Balaklava houses. She wants to organise a free community educational seminar through the Asbestos Victims Association of South Australia (AVA). Without wanting to be alarmist, Kat says asbestos is found in many homes throughout the region. Kat was born in Balaklava in 1948 and lived in the town until she was 12. Her father Clive Wake had a building business and used asbestos on all the houses he built in Balaklava, Lochiel, Nantawarra, Halbury and other areas. Her father died of lung related problems which could have been linked to asbestos. “Younger people are now buying many of these old houses – and because they have a mortgage they are doing a lot of renovations themselves,” Kat said. Kat, who is vice-president of AVA, is appealing to the next generation so they don’t suffer the consequences of asbestos. She said there was a need to advocate asbestos and wanted to warn people of the extreme dangers of associated cancers. “It would be good if we could create enough interest to run a free seminar for mainly young people doing renovations on older houses,” Kat said. AVA was formed in October 2000 to give support and advocacy to all South Australian

victims of asbestos related diseases, and their families. Asbestos diseases, such as mesothelioma, are contracted through the inhalation of dust/ fibres and can take anywhere from 10 to 40 years to be diagnosed. A patient with mesothelioma often demonstrates symptoms 15 to 50 years after initial exposure to asbestos. The cancer may take decades to develop in the body and symptoms do not arise until after the cancer is present. Many patients are unaware of the sever-

However, in some cases, it has only taken weeks or even days for the victim to succumb. There is no cure for the disease. AVA provides free powerpoint presentations to any interested groups, including a wide range of information and support. “We are all volunteers and our aim, apart from looking after a victim, is to spread the word on asbestos so the next generation doesn’t suffer,” Kat said. To register your interest in attending a seminar, contact Kat on 8212 6008 or see the website www.avasa.asn.au.

Asbestos facts

• Building material used widely from the 1940s through to the 1980s. • Estimated to be in two-thirds of all homes built in this period. • Safe when intact, but deadly in dust form. • Causes a range of lung diseases, as well as mesothelioma, an incurable cancer. • Asbestos-related illnesses can take from 20-60 years to produce symptoms • Average life expectancy for mesothelioma is two years.

symptoms

• You must first obtain permission from your local council. All asbestos waste must be packed in accordance with EPA guidelines. Large quantities must only be handled and disposed of by qualified removalists. • Check with your local council regarding removal of small quantities.

Symptoms of the most common form– pleural mesothelioma are: •Persistent dry or raspy cough •Coughing up blood (hemoptysis) •Difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia)

•Night sweats or fever •Unexplained weight loss of 10 per cent or more •Fatigue •Persistent pain in the chest or rib area, or painful breathing •Shortness of breath (dyspnea) that occurs even when at rest •The appearance of lumps under the skin on the chest.

BRINKWORTH NEWS

CWA enthralled by Cambodian journey By Anne Green About 50 ladies (and a small handful of men) enjoyed a day of Brinkworth hospitality when the local branch of SACWA hosted members from Blyth and Balaklava for a Burton Group social day. After catching up with each other during morning tea, members were welcomed by state president Rosie Crocker, who described her SACWA role, which keeps her away from her Bordertown home for most of each week and enabled her to visit Hot Springs, Arkansas for an international conference of 700 women. Mrs Crocker also announced a new SACWA branch had recently opened in Auburn, its members being mostly business women who have evening meetings. The audience was enthralled by Clare pharmacist Tim Siv’s description of his parents’ escape on foot from the Pol Pot regime in Cambodia. They walked hundreds of kilometres over jungle tracks and through

minefields. When Tim was born, towards the end of their journey to the Thai border, his father traded two full baskets of fish he’d caught for a pair of sterile scissors, to cut the baby’s umbilical cord. Tim now visits his birthplace annually, helping at the New Hope Community Centre. Illustrating his talk with a computer slide presentation, Tim demonstrated how much improvement has been made to the health and lifestyle of some of the happy and grateful Cambodian children, who have almost nothing. They walk two to three hours to get to school and are thrilled to be given a balloon or a hair slide. A family who were living under a tarp under a tree now have a simple but adequate home, provided by the community centre at a cost of just $350 and a community chicken farm and fish farm have been established. When the presentation concluded, branch president, Marlene Martin presented Tim with a cheque for $200, towards his work for the centre. A pooled lunch, that was testament

seem to be fully assured on examination of some of the factors which have helped it to grow to its present pre-eminent position. The Grain Grown is most important - the Wheat Yield last year from 41,746 acres produced 538,836 bushels - not including oats and barley - and apart from 8,001 acres cut for hay. Dairying is producing most satisfactory results, and of very great assistance is the large upto-date Butter Factory, with an important export trade. The district produces some 376,013 lbs. of butter annually. Allied to this is the Ice Factory and Aerated Water Works. An immense Modern Flour

Mill, various Machinery Shops, and other concerns flourish here. Railway Centre - as the important branch Station for Port Wakefield and Bowmans (and with the broad gauge now being installed) its importance is bound to increase. Educational Facilities are well catered for with Primary and High Schools, Convent School, etc. Bundaleer Reservoir water is laid on to the Town and Electricity is available for lighting and power. Churches of practically every denomination are available. Here is the headquarters of the important country newspaper, “The Wooroora Producer.” Recreation - Beautiful Children’s Playground - fine Bowling Green - Park - and the widely known Racecourse, etc. What can prevent Land Values from Advancing. The town boasts two fine,

well-kept Hotels, a number of extensive, up-to-date stores of all kinds, with stocks equal to any capital city. There are extensive garages and all manner of other social amenities.” And from “The Country News” dated 12/4/24: “Among the progressive country Towns of South Australia none is more truly representative of the agricultural thoroughness and enterprising industry which have built up the welfare of the State than is bountiful Balaklava. Famed for the consistent heaviness of its wheat yield, retaining against all opposition its own flour mills, exporting butter bearing a brand conferring on the district overseas fame, leading in arts, sports, and community improvement, the Prosperous Centre of the Lower North has a proud record of growth and fine achievements.” Sounds like a good place to live!

As human baby boomers approach their twilight years, man’s best friend is providing important insight into how we grow old gracefully. Doggy dementia (canine cognitive dysfunction) has striking similarities to Alzheimer’s and related diseases in humans. Australian research has investigated the effects of old age in dogs, and revealed that there are many common traits, both behaviourally and pathologically, between ageing humans, and ageing dogs. “The indicators of doggy dementia are

NEWS v District Broadband plan for Valley towns

Clare and Gilbert Valleys Council (CGVC) and Mid North and Yorke Regional Development Australia are working to achieve a broad level of high speed internet coverage for the council district. Mid North and Yorke Regional Development Australia has conducted an extensive tender process in collaboration with the State government, CGVC and Goyder council. As a result, two proposals are being developed. Mid North Yorke Regional Development Board is currently negotiating with the State government on the lodgement of an application for a preferred provider under the Broadband Development Fund. Limited coverage is available to the main townships with Telstra ADSL and ADSL2+ services. Towns like Saddleworth, Manoora, Mintaro and Sevenhill and rural areas only have access to limited wireless internet and satellite.

No longer wearing blue, SA Ambulance Service officers went back to wearing green uniforms last Monday. They had been wearing blue for nearly three years after previous green uniform left some with severe allergic reactions. Ambulance officers across the state are now happy to be back in green. Mallala SA Ambulance Service officers welcomed the return of the green uniform. “We’re really happy to be back in the greens,” Mallala team leader, Pat Kakoschke said. “They certainly distinguish us now,” officer Louise Harris said. Officer Deb Sharer said the uniforms were “a nice fit”, while Pat added the uniforms made SA Ambulance Service officers look “very professional”. The introduction of the new green uniform follows extensive research and consultation with staff. It offers a range of new features including bigger pockets and improved fit. Reactions to the old green uniform ranged from minor and localised skin irritations to more severe reactions which in some cases required hospitalisation.

Our tax system needs to change. The first step is to make it simpler and fairer for everyone. We all know that we live in a time of rapid change. We see it happening all around us. Our population is ageing. New challenges arise almost every day. So it’s important for us to have a tax system that is able to meet those challenges. By making our tax system simpler and fairer for individuals and business, the proposed tax reforms are an important first step towards making our economy stronger and preparing us for the years ahead. Increasing our super By 2050, one in four Australians will be over 65. We need to plan for that and make sure everyone has enough super for a comfortable retirement. That’s why raising the superannuation guarantee and contributing more to super is so important. Better tax on savings Under the current system, interest income is taxed higher than many other forms of savings. To make it fairer, there will be a tax cut on bank and other interest income. This will reward Australians who put money away for their future. Making tax simpler Tax will be made simpler for individuals by introducing standard deductions, and for business by simplifying depreciation rules. Cutting tax for small business Small business is one of our biggest employers. So anything that makes it easier for small business to grow and do business is good for all of us. Giving small business companies an early tax cut is a good start. And instant write-off of assets up to $5,000 and simplified depreciation for all small business will improve their cash flow and cut down on paperwork. A fairer share of our resources wealth Before the last mining boom, the Australian people received $1 in every $3 of mining profits through royalties and resource charges. By the end of that boom, our share had fallen to just $1 in every $7. Changing the way we tax mining profits will ensure everyone shares in the benefits of our natural resources. The proposed reforms will affect all of us, so it’s important that you know what’s on the table. To find out more, call 1800 614 133 or go to www.australia.gov.au/futuretax

Parkland plan for skateboard area be visible to prevent any danger or misbehaviour,” Mr Rohrlach said. He stated another advantage was the location was away from houses which would hopefully prevent noise disturbance. Currently, the slab will cost about $35,100 and concrete ramps, $36,506, council preparation about $10,000 and delivery $3000. Total cost will be more than $80,000. On top of this, the proposal to have a light installed at the site for night skating will cost about $40,000. Council still needs to approve the proposal before the Youth Advisory skate park committee can apply for a grant, which is expected to occur some time in July.

At last Wednesday’s Balaklava Area Committee (BAC) meting, Wakefield Regional Council (WRC) community development officer, David Woodroofe and skate park committee member, Peter Rohrlach, presented BAC with the preferred location near the existing parklands in Wallace street. Mr Rohrlach said the proposed site, which involves laying a pad of about 540 square metres of concrete, is preferred because the area is open, visible and close to the school. “Kids can go there after school and still

SAMPIT Categories - % of Records (23 May)

165 local fishers pinpoint favoured gulf areas:

SAMPIT Categories % of records (23 May)

Zones next in marine park plan Defining clear sanctuary zones to the public and policing these zones are some of the local management issues identified during the recent Upper Gulf St Vincent marine park local advisory group (MPLAG) meeting at Port Parham. The outer boundaries of 19 marine parks were announced last year and 13 local advisory groups were established around the state to provide local advice about inner zoning for each park. Members of the Upper Gulf St Vincent MPLAG met on May 25 to continue planning the local marine park proposed for Gulf St Vincent. They are preparing for the

next step in the Marine Park process, which will involve zoning scenarios. More than 1500 peoplehave supplied information about local uses and activities to the marine parks program using South Australian Marine Parks Information Tool (SAMPIT). There were 165 entries for St Vincent Gulf marine park area. Members of the group looked at the information provided by the community through SAMPIT. Upper Gulf St Vincent MPLAG chair, Brenton Schahinger, said the group checked the SAMPIT information for accuracy. “It was agreed the informa-

tion entered into the SAMPIT maps was a fairly accurate representation of fishing activity in the park– particularly on the western side of the gulf but at this stage most of the input was from the recreational fishing sector, which to some extent was expected.” “However, it was not too late for other interested parties to have their say,” Mr Schahinger said. Mr Schahinger said members were looking forward to the third round of meetings involving preliminary zoning scenarios, but ensured nothing would be made certain until the public was consulted. “People don’t like uncertainty but tend to adapt when they see things in place,

especially when they find the changes are not arduous,” he said. “Exploring draft zoning scenarios is the next step in the process, however it is important to stress there will be no final decision on zoning until all stakeholders have been consulted.” Mr Schahinger said some international studies had found within a few years of marine parks being in place, the best place to fish was right next door to no-take zones. “When the zoning is in place we might find that happens here,” he said. The third round of MPLAG meetings are expected to be held in late July and early August.

Have a go at Backyard Netty Backyard Netball for country girls living in the city has been played over the last four weeks at ETSA Park outdoor courts. It’s a real mix of girls in Adelaide from around rural South Australia, who love their netball and get to meet similar people studying at uni and/or working in Adelaide. Backyard Netty is played on Thursday nights and requires no training, no grading - it’s just good fun. An 11-week season is on the go at the moment and has had more than 80 girls participate. Even if you can’t play every week due to work or uni commitments, you’re still welcome at Backyard Netball. Girls who have moved from the country to Adelaide can still sign up and play - it’s just $6 per night, with no subs and no team fees payable.

Mallala in last quarter comeback Mallala 13-12 (90) d Balaklava 7-10 (52)

By Lindsay Nesbit

A grade

The top of the table clash between Mallala and Balaklava produced a tight contest for three quarters, before Mallala ran away with the match to bring up a 38-point victory. As in the reserve grade clash, it was a dominant last term that was vital to the result. Last week in miserable conditions Paul Blacket celebrated his 250th. This week in near perfect weather vice-captain Brad Hardie celebrated his 100th game. The milestones, happily for both players, coming in winning teams. As was to be expected, the opening was fast and furious. Both teams showed plenty of skill and endeavour, and a slight breeze favoured Balaklava’s end. Marc McEvoy grabbed a loose ball and his pass to Brian Montgomery brought up Mallala’s first. The reply wasn’t long in coming, Jonathon Brice with the Peckers’ opener. Again Mallala were able to respond via a Brad Griffith goal. Balaklava were showing why they are ranked top two, serving it up to the unbeaten ‘Pies. The Peckers were doing lots of attacking. There were a couple of behinds beforeAaron Curtis had the Peckers’ second. Balaklava kept attacking but their kicking was woeful. The Peckers had a genuine chance to grab a commanding quarter time lead, instead going to the first break only seven points in front. Todd McPharlin had a top first quarter for the visitors. In a team with many good players, McPharlin was the best of them. James Wildbore was super creative for Mallala with loads of possessions, and Joel Montgomerie gets better every game. Jason Earl again showed skill and years of experience under pressure. Chris Hallion kept busy in the last line of defence, and was among the pick of the back men. James Wildbore kicked the first goal of the second quarter, then a rushed behind levelled scores. Daniel Feeley got his first and Mallala were back in front. There was nothing in this match and the Balaklava pressure was eventually rewarded with a Stuart Lamond goal. This time Mallala upped the ante and peppered the goals, but like Balaklava, the kicking was inaccurate. Mallala had matched the Peckers’ first term effort with a two goals – seven behinds term, before a miracle goal from Daniel Feeley saw the ‘Pies go to half time with a 10 point lead. Paul Blacket became a go-to person in the midfield. Jason Earl was again in everything, and Robert Montgomery was another back from injury and getting back to his brilliant best. Luke Guy and Ben Catford had good quarters for Balaklava, with Hayden Walker giving the visitors plenty in ruck. After the long break, the Wasleys road end again became the main focus for scoring. Balaklava came out of the blocks with a goal to Sam Rowland. Other goals followed to Jonathon Brice, another to Sam Rowland, and then another to Jonathon. It was all one way traffic. Balaklava, with sure hands and plenty of run ,were showing Mallala a clean pair of heels. Ryan Montgomerie, Chris Hallion, Robert Montgomery and Tim Cawrse were all under plenty of pressure. A great ‘steal’ by Jacob Walsh in the midfield was a real highlight of the term for Mallala. Derek Friedrichs, Daniel

The Mallala backlines did well to keep Balaklava to only four goals for the term, and find themselves a tick over two goals in arrears at three quarter time. Mallala had to stop Balaklava getting the first goal of the fourth quarter. Not only did they achieve that but it was a Brad Griffiths’ gem from 50m that opened the last term. The Griffiths goal was a real team lifter as it put Mallala only a goal down. Balaklava’s tackling was fierce and constant, the Peckers keeping up the pressure. But another James Wildbore goal had Mallala only two points down, then Brad Hardie gave the home side the lead. Daniel Feeley scored his third, and Sam Angus sped out of the middle for another. Five unanswered goals to the ‘scoring end’had left Balaklava shellshocked. The Peckers had stopped to a walk. Mallala, with a full head of steam continued on to record an amazing eight goal quarter. Further goals to Sam Angus and Brian Montgomery. Sam Angus took the mark of the year, as courageous and brilliant as you will ever see. The ‘Pies were doing everything right. Not a solitary point was kicked to the southern end of the oval after half time, with a scoreless third term from Mallala and a matching effort from Balaklava in the last quarter. Mallala forwards were able to find space in the fourth term and were capably fed by a dominant midfield. Christian Rimmer in a top term with help from Brad Hardie, Sam Angus, Joel Montgomerie and Jason Earl.

Reserves

An explosive last quarter saw Balaklava defeat Mallala by 50 points in the reserves match. What had been a relatively close game blew apart in the final stages, as the Peckers doubled their three quarter time score. Balaklava got off to a good start with two quick goals to Christopher Marshall and Kerry Michalanney. When a Mallala defender dropped what looked like a certain mark, Kerry Michalanney grabbed the ball, said ‘thank you’, and bagged his second goal. It was all Balaklava. The times Mallala went forward they were dogged by inaccuracy, and Balaklava full back Shane Dodd was clearly in for a big game. Dodd repeatedly sent the ball back down the ground. Raymond Deakin kicked what was to be the only Mallala goal in nearly three quarters of football. Jon Clarke was prominent early for Mallala until he went off with a broken collarbone. Kerry Michalanney was the pick of the Pecker forwards and he soon had his third goal. Unfortunately for Balaklava, Michalanney went off injured later in the game. Balaklava missed a couple of opportunities late in the second quarter to really put the game beyond doubt, but like Mallala, the accuracy in front of goal went missing.

Plains Producer, Wednesday June 9, 2010

Mallala, in spite of only one goal to half time were not out of the game. Raymond Deakin and Hayden Riley were getting their share of the ball. Ben Work at half back was creative. Dale Maclean and Kirk Kirvan, two of Mallala’s younger players were the home side’s best, both playing with passion and skill. Daniel Jennings in his first game back again picked up plenty of touches, and Jase Morgan continues on with his good form. Aside from Shane Dodd starring at full back, Balaklava had plenty of good contributors. Michael Brougham, Jack Jenner, Rick Lamond became a key player in the midfield, and Jason and Ryan McPharlin, even before they ran amok in the last quarter. Balaklava continued to let Mallala off the hook with a series of behinds in the third quarter. After the third, Michalanney goal both teams had only added 10 behinds since. That soon changed when Derek Tiller kicked a much needed goal for Mallala, and the ‘Pies, despite being outplayed for much of the game, now found themselves only two goals down. The Balaklava response was immediate, Jason McPharlin with his first, and a taste of what was to come scoring wise in the last quarter. Balaklava went into three quarter timer with a handy three goal buffer. The lead soon blew out to over five goals when the Peckers opened the last term with goals first to Ryan, and then Jason McPharlin. Peter Hanton kicked a goal for Mallala, but it was virtually the last piece of fairly meek resistance from the home side. After that the McPharlin goal-kicking exhibition went on display, Jason with four for the last term and five for the match, Ryan with two in the last term. Between them they kicked the last six Pecker goals. Both teams went into this game with three wins apiece. Balaklava appeared a much better side and will play a key role in determining results in the major round. Mallala have a lot of work to do.

SPORT v Landmark Cup

Saturday set to be a thriller We already know from the squad that HWE defender/forward Joe Hunt, United’s Peter Burgoyne and Rooster Lee Allmond are all unavailable due to injury. Ram full forward and APFL leading goalkicker Brendon Niklaus has a wedding to attend. Providing all remaining squad members are fit and available, here is my crack at how the association team may line up. It is, of course, likely to be different to that of the APFL coach and selectors, nevertheless this subjective opinion gives us a teaser to what could be a very good day at Kadina this Saturday. Notes Overall team: with so many versatile players in the squad I do not envy the task of the selectors. Because Landmark Cup is a shortened game format and running with 2008/09 APFL coach Harry Taylor’s theory: players must be switched on from the ‘get go’ and midfielders know what is required at this level of intensity. Many can rest forward or back and could possibly rotate off the bench.

Forwards Without Brendan Niklaus, options at full forward are limited. Brad Griffiths is the only natural centre half forward in the squad, so he or Ben Galic will play there while other options up front include youngster Jonathon Brice or perhaps the resting ruckmen which could be Will Banton, Ben Galic and/or Hayden Walker. They can all take a big grab and all certainly provide an aerial contest. With a swarm of crumbers in Joel Montgomerie, Todd McPharlin, Ben Catford, Ned Seccafien and Christian Rimmer all at the big men’s feet, the APFL certainly looks dangerous. Jared Wilson is obviously a class act in any position but getting slightly older, his pace off the mark, may be waning in regards to playing full forward at rep level. He will be important in the middle and also may be needed down back as he is a master at reading the play. Heath Pym looms as the best option as a leading forward if Brice isn’t thrown into the fire straight away. While this notion may be considered slightly ‘left-field’, Pym is quick,

youthful and the tallest of named midfield types. At United he has always been a required midfielder, however from limited chances as a forward he has dominated. With plenty of on-ballers in this side he is certainly well suited to this forward position and is experienced for his age having already played at this level and higher. Midfield Coach Andy Michael can of course run up to 10 players through here on rotation. For mine Rimmer, Seccafien, Jared Wilson, Catford and Joel Montgomerie are all blue chip ball getters. Outside of this Earl, Pym, McPharlin, Brodee Brown, Tallan Leighton and Ryan Mongomerie are all capable as are other squad members not named above in Mills, Barnes and Reid. Wilkey and or Johnston can be used as midfielders starting from the wing (as could Pym or Catford) with their collective skill level being an all important factor for the APFL to be damaging once the ball has cleared the congestion. Underrated wingman Brad Hardie more than deserves a start in his usual position.

n Kym Jarman previews APFL’s chances

CUP Defence Derek Fredrichs is the APFL’s in-form full back so deserves his start. For mine Tim Cawrse must make the side as back up should a key big man from another league get on top and threaten our chances. Andrew Hardiman is one who provides that attacking run from defence whilst also having the height to match a key representative forward. Tallan Leighton and Brodee Brown are solid backs with attacking flair and team mates Jason Earl and Ryan Montgomerie provide the glue down back – each with balance, poise, important use of voice and silky skills. James Wildbore is an underrated player and won’t let Andy Michael down if selected.

The APFL must go further, says new coach •From Back Page No stranger to big games and/or representative footy, Andy pulled on the Red, Black and White of the APFL many many times throughout a long playing career at Balaklava - 1990 through 2001. After more recently occupying a non-playing coach role for the Peckers in 2008 and 2009, Michael relinquished that role this year and now seems focused on leading the APFL towards making amends for the disappointment of the last few years – hoping to lead our 2010 side to the final of this year’s Landmark Cup. Michael, a passionate footy man, is focused and excited about this weekend. “Now I’m out of the week to week coaching arena I’ve been able to channel my energy into this weekend’s Landmark Cup carnival” “Its obviously a great chance for me to work with the ‘cream of the crop’ in regard to the APFL and because we’ve got pretty close to making the final the last two years I am hoping we can go one or two steps further” The format of the carnival remains unchanged in 2010 with two games of two 18 minute halves (plus time on) deciding two winners which will then play off for the 2010 Landmark

Cup. (The two losers will do battle for the bronze place) With the APFL’s preliminary match being the later game of the two preliminary matches it may help. “Obviously A Grade footballers aren’t used to playing at 11.30am so at least this year starting our preliminary match at 12.30pm it gives the players a little more familiarity” Michael was certainly uncompromising as a player in club games and as a representative for the APFL and he will expect no less from those who are chosen to run out in the red, black and white on Saturday.

Tigers break losing streak United 7.13(55) defeated Hummocks Watchman 6.9(45). The Eagles have suffered their third defeat this season at the hands of the previously winless United Tigers. Finding their form, the Tigers played four quarters of consistent footy, while the Eagles were under pressure after poor form for three quarters. The Eagles had just one goal against their name at three quarter time but had a real crack in the first six minutes of the final term, kicking four goals to triple their score. B u t United hung tough and were determined not to let another game slip, hanging on to the lead to win by 10 points. Eagles coach Mark Brant was still coming to terms with his side’s rapid descent from second spot on the ladder. “I don’t think we can lose our ability in just three weeks.” He said the side lacked intensity, were second to the ball and disposed poorly. Since their one-point loss to Mallala, HWE have lost their ‘mojo’, while it could be the start of something for the Tigers. Brant said the Tigers performed several good passages of play, and worked well as a team. For the Eagles, Luke Knappstein won his position in the forward line, taking several solid marks. David Oswald also played well, putting pressure on play in the back pocket. For the Tigers Ben Sobey was easily best on ground, his tenacious approach setting much of

Sobey seemed to be everywhere as he laid tackles, collected ball and lifted his whole side. Midfielders Heath Pym and Brodee Brown were good giving their side first use from the centre while defenders Matt East, Matt Dickie and Jack Chapman had much to do with the Tigers holding out the Eagles for the best part of three quarters. Mallala 13.12(90) defeated Balaklava 7.10 (52). Mallala have remained perched in the top stop for another week, knocking second-placed Balaklava off in a final quarter effort. The game was up and down,

with Balaklava winning the first term, not scoring in the second followed by a scoreless quarter from the Magpies in the third. The Peckers went into the final quarter with a two goal lead. Pressure of the final quarter took its toll, with Balaklava failing to score while facing an eight goal onslaught from the Magpies. Strength in the Magpie midfield again set the side’s pace and influenced game play in the final term. Magpie coach Keith Earl said he made some changes in the final term. “After a few changes we clicked and Balaklava turned off for whatever reason,” Earl said. Joel Montgomerie was the most influential player, sparking the Magpies after shifting from the forward lines to the wing. Jason Earl stood out once again for the Magpies with consistent footy in the back half. Sam Angus ignited the team with two good goals and a sensational mark in the final term. Ever reliable Tim Cawrse played well, was clean with his hands and hit targets in the final term. Todd McPharlin was a stand out performer for the Peckers, with his quick skills and on ball movements creating plays for the Peckers. Peckers coach Stuart Lamond said while it was disappointing, it was good to be so competitive for the first three quarters. “They just lifted in the final term and we probably dropped off a bit and they took full advantage,” Lamond said. Danny Gardner was solid all day in the half back, while Luke Guy, Ben Catford and Derek Friedrichs also performed well. Lamond said the whole team played well, but couldn’t match them in the final term. Virginia 23.12 (150) defeated Hamley Bridge 13.7 (85). Virginia Rams have secured two more points in a solid victory against Hamley Bridge Bombers. In a high scoring affair, the Rams progressed through the

game kicking plenty of goals each quarter, while the Bombers put in a solid seven goal effort in the final term. The Rams kicked nine in the third quarter, in what was a convincing match sealing effort. Brendon Niklaus capitalised with 11 goals, putting the Rams in a comfortable position from the start. Rams coach Greg Phillips said the side put in a good team effort to secure the 65 point win. With some fill ins, including young half back Trent Karutz, Rick Drew and Chris Ewen, the Rams lifted their game. “We tried a few things and it was pleasing to see we didn’t hesitate to give the first pass,” he said. Anthony Johnson played another good game in what is shaping up to be one of his better seasons, while Con Mylonopoulos and Mark Nykamp were again the catalysts on the half back flank. Caleb Howell and Brendon Niklaus also had influential roles in the win. Hamley Bridge coach Rian Nelson said it was another disappointing week for the Bombers, but was still looking at a long term approach. “We have improved, but we’re still losing by 10 goals,” Nelson said. The game was a good opportunity to develop some younger players, with Bomber centre half back and centre half forward under 20 years old. Bombers struggled to maintain the full forward, but Travis Natt was consistent in defence. “Niklaus kicked 11, but I was only disappointed in Travis once,” Nelson said. “Virginia delivered well and hit targets.” Dylan Lockwood played well on the ball for the Bombers, while Justin Schahinger dominated in the ruck. Tom Smith and Stuart Gregory kept up their good form, maintaining pressure on opponents and attacking the ball.

SPORT v NEFL reports

Cats rebound from loss to give Saints a hiding Rebounding quickly for its loss in round seven, Blyth-Snowtown gave the winless Southern Saints a 155-point thrashing last Saturday. After a five-goal opening term at Robertstown oval, the Cats kicked 11 majors in the second quarter to be up by 77 points at the main break and they continued their relentless attack in the second half. “The first quarter was reasonably tight, but we blew ‘em away in the second with 11 goals,” Cats coach, Brett Ireland said. “They were undermanned and our midfield just dominated and got so much of the footy up to our forward.” Jarrod Gillings, after a modest week in the wet against RSMU, kicked his second double figure haul for the season. From the eight matches this year, he now has 47 goals at an average of just under six per game. Fellow key forward Ash Hentschke was equally effective with seven goals, and is also among the top 10 goal kickers in the North Eastern Football League. Among the 10 separate goal kickers for Blyth-Snowtown, the audaciously talented Shay Clifford kicked four goals, while midfielder Ryan Darling and Scott Atkinson both finished with a couple. While Gillings was high among the best players with his 10 goal haul, James Taylor was regarded as the Cats’ best in this contest against Eudunda-Robertstown. Atkinson, captain Darling and Simon McCormack dominated through the middle of the ground “Gillings and Hentschke were two strong focal points in attack,” Ireland explained. “They got extremely good delivery, especially from Ryan Darling, whose foot skills were superb. “This was a pleasing aspect of our game. “Young Aaryn Lloyd played his best A grade game yet, while on the other wing Mickey Atkinson was also impressive. “Kiel Kennett is playing good consistent footy across half back.” A n d r e w Tu r r e l l fought hard in the pivot for the visiting Saints to Blyth oval. Defender Michael Zerner, Micha Mueller and teenager Zack Tremaine tried hard against the onslaught. Richard Schmidt and

Round 8 in review By Peter Argent Clinton Voigt were both noteworthy as well. Eagles hand Roosters loss number three In control from the outset, Mintaro-Manoora inflicted the Roosters’ third successive loss, by 35 points on the Eagles’ home soil. A 22-point first term lead edged out to 31 points at half time, and they were six goals up at the final break. Eagles have been a team which has struggled with avenues to goal, but Nathan Forrest turned that around with a ‘best on ground’ six-goal haul in this contest. Team mate Daniel Fodgen was also a strong performer, while the big four, former SANFL league footballers Brad Taylor, Aaron Bevis, dual Central District premiership player Brad Currie and Steve Baraglia all had telling influences on the game. Bevis’s effort included three goals as well, while youngster Lachlan Sandow collected a brace. Andrew Amey was North Clare’s best followed by Luke Willson and key forward Nick Prokopec, who finished with five goals out of this teams nine. Prokopec now has 34 goals, at an average of just over four goals per outing this year. Veteran Craig Jaeschke was solid, while Tyson Pawley and captain Matt Ward were serviceable. On a tight leader board where there are

now just two games separating first and sixth on the premiership table, the Roosters are now outside the four and have a modest percentage. Demon’s fourth successive win Out of the blocks quickly, South Clare endured a second term revival by the Hawks, to win its fourth successive game by 21 points. The Demons, at Clare oval kicked six goals to one in the opening term, and then felt the power of the RSMU side, as they did the same to them in the second term. Actually, the Hawks led by the smallest of margins at this point of the game. Interestingly while South could only kick 2.3 in the premiership quarter, they kept the ladder leaders (going into this game) scoreless during this period. In a dour last term, the Dees kicked three goals, while RSMU slotted through a pair. Playing coach Matt Vandeleur was best player for South in this contest, followed by the other Matt Dare and the consistent former Hills footballer, Thomas. Curly haired Josh Vandeleur was also a strong player, as were youngsters Jed Dunstan and Mitchell Reynolds. Michael Liebelt was also an important component in attack with six majors. From the other branch of the Vandeleur clan tree, James was the RSMU Hawks’ best. Lu k e P er cy an d Brock Harrison were also important, while

Dale Schulz and Donald Williams were the next best. Both Tyson Willmott and Jamie Williams finished with a couple of goals each for the vanquished. BBH shake off BSR Tigers in 46 point win BBH took longer than expected to shake off the seventh placed Tigers at Brinkworth oval, but finally won by 46 points, although they were more accurate than their opponenents. Brinkworth-Spalding-Redhill actually had a two point lead at quarter time, and were still within striking distance, 19 points down at the long interval. In the third quarter, the reigning premier kicked seven goals to four, having a 37 point lead at lemons. The star of the day was 2005 Mail Medallist from the BLG competition Boh Wall, who kicked eight goals in an inspirational display. Nick Jackman continued on from his form of the previous week against North Clare, while Tommy Riggs and Justin Webster were strong components for the victors. Aaron Spicer had an interesting confrontation with Alex Smart, and while his opposite number may have edged in front of him on the day, Spicer still had a major impact on the contest. Zac Lynch was positive and enterprising, while Jackman and key forward Jason Schuppan both kicked a trio of majors. David Reed finished with a pair as well. Smart was BSR’s best followed by veteran forward Damien Mellow who kicked a season high seven goals. Ash Burgess was strong at the contested ball, while on-ballers Jason Zohs, the consistent Scott Morris and Dustin Pope won their fair share of the pill. Leigh Fuller finished his day with three goals as well for the Tigers.

Longies girls give everything but Hummocks prevails A1: Long Plains 40 lost to Hummocks 49. The first quarter began goal for goal. Long Plains, still with no wins on the board, were persistant to match everything Hummocks, third on the ladder, achieved. Some perfect shots from shooters at both ends. Hummocks lifted and made good use of Longies’ errors in the second quarter. Shelley Tynan put some extreme pressure on Hummocks to help her team gain back any turn-over opportunities. While Leah Tynan, Long Plains, C made sure any Longies turnovers were taken successfully to the goalies, not always easy with Hummocks defenders sticking to their players. Long Plains made some changes in the third quarter with Emma Laintoll coming on as GK. Hummocks still remained in the lead by at least 12 points at the start of the third quarter. Sophie Keid and Emily Noack, Hummocks C and WA, were feeding the ball well into the goal circle, the shooters rarely missing. Longies defence worked hard to act on any rebound opportunities.

first win, Longies came roaring out in the fourth quarter much to Hummocks’ surprise. Although defence by Hummocks GD Beth Germain and WD Lucy Forrest was still strong, Longies defenders were even stronger. Making use of centre breaks, rebounds and any turn-over opportunities, Longies finally started to lead, with special applause to their younger players. Third ranked Hummocks may have won the game, but Longies proved they are not giving up with their fourth quarter win. Both teams were strong, especially in the area of up-coming young players.

Results from Saturday, June 5. Competition: Par – Captains Trophy (2). Sponsor: Green Welding Supplies. Players: 45. How different could the day be after last Saturday’s drenching! The weather was fine, the course was looking good, and there wasn’t much run due to the lush grass. It was another great day with 45 players and with seven regulars missing, we could have topped 50. Vince Hatch returned to form with a fine win in A grade with +9 – his first for a while he happened to mention. In fact, the records show that he last won on August 22 last year. He then proceeded to win the first meat tray as well as a NTP and birdie hole. He now also holds the new course record of 73 off the stick. Jake Bowden quietly went about his business to take B grade with +11, long drive, NTP and birdie to also have a big collect. Surprise of the day was an unbelievable +14 from Bingo Barns, which had quite a few people asking to see the card, especially considering the last five weeks he has played to 40 or over. All he lost from his handicap was 0.6, which is what the new system is all about. It won’t penalise you big time for one ‘unbelievable’ score, only if you can keep doing it. He is, however, sitting on top with +18 in the Captains Trophy after two rounds, alongside Jake Bowden also on +18. Next week, the long weekend, is a two-man ambrose competition.

Tennis ladies winter

What a glorious sunny morning to greet the ladies! And yes, the telcos have made another financial bonanza this week with injuries and sickness creating the need to call on plenty of fill-ins. There seems to be no stopping the Koalas after their taste of victory last week, having an even more convincing win this week, resulting in moving off the bottom of the premiership table. Valerie Carling and Kevyna Gardner, being the only two permanent Koalas playing, stood tall and both won their three sets. However, the two Taylors – Di and Gaylene – with the latter making an unexpected comeback, might want that score line kept secret. Kellie Harrison and Narelle Michael had an excellent win over more fill-ins, Helen Durdin and Mary Connell, with Mary making her debut playing for the injured Di Meaney. Alas, this was the Grizzlys’ only win for the day. The hero award must go to Gaylene for playing with little notice – much appreciated. Koalas 5-32 def Grizzlys 1-17. The match between the two top sides, Helen Barry’s Polars and Pauline Hill’s Pandas was a very close affair, with the Pandas continuing on from their big win last week by taking the honours, 4-26 to 2-26. This now has Pandas moving one win clear in top spot. Rae Winen had a good day outwinning her three sets against Roanne Georg, who thought she would have been better off bringing a shovel than a racquet to dig out Rae’s low zipping shots. The armour might have been handy too, as Roanne seemed to be the subject of target practice. Glenda Shepherd got her eye in after her first set loss against Kerrie Bell. Pauline and Heidi Zerk had the tables turned on them this week, showing their frillies to Helen and Chris Simon. Heidi blamed lack of concentration because Paul wanted her working on the farm. Chris took credit for the play of the day, a terrific drop shot that would be the envy of any professional tennis player. Once again, thanks to our wonderful fill-ins.

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

Take care with canola sales Now the season has broken and crops are in the ground, growers should start thinking about their marketing plans for the coming season. One crop generally seen as a popular option as a cash crop is canola. It is a liquid market providing opportunities to forward sell from a long way out from harvest as a hedge. Here is an overview of the current world oilseed market to help you with any decisions you make. There is a thought current rains in Canada may be affecting plantings of canola, especially in Saskatchewan. This rain may lower the available acres to plant, however, record plantings were expected so it remains unclear what impact this will have exactly. Canadian

bly by as much as 20mmt on last year’s crop. Unfortunately, the drastic moves in the value of the Australian dollar versus the US dollar have not been as significant against the Canadian dollar. This is due to low investor confidence pushing the value of the US dollar up against most major currencies, as the money generally flows back to the US. If you are thinking of making some forward sales of canola, please make sure you plan it so

weekly comment exports are down year on year, from 6.2 million metric tonnes at this point last year to currently sitting at 5.87mmt. Their total crush is up to a record 3.6mmt, up 300,000 tonnes on last year. US soybean exports have been good. China has been active in this market, buying up quite a lot of the US stock, on the back of a poor bean crop in South America last year. This year, China is expected to import 22.1 million metric tonnes of soybeans from the US,

and a total of 48mmt globally. This will be up on the record last year of 41.1mmt. In South America, the soybean harvest is getting close to being completed. The Argentinean crop is expected to be about 54mmt, of which about 91 per cent is currently completed. Brazil’s crop of beans is also nearly completed and will be around 68mmt. The Argentinean crop has significantly increased this year, possi-

Barley review South Australia’s barley industry will be taken into a completely deregulated environment, except for provisions of the Trades Practices Act and related Commonwealth legislation. A review of the Barley Exporting Act 2007 was recently tabled in State Parliament. Minister for Agriculture and Food, Michael O’Brien, accepted the recommendations of the review. Mr O’Brien said recommendations relating to market powers and information-sharing would be discussed with South Australian Farmers Federation and industry stakeholders before he formally gives his response to the review. “There is no intention to further investigate the barley industry in relation to deregulation, except to deal with the recommendations of this report, which I am carefully considering,” Mr O’Brien said. “However, the government will continue to work with the barely industry on a range of industry development and efficiency issues.”

Vater’s View With Roger Vater

Great harvest deals Seeding is progressing well with good rains. Let’s hope the season continues to develop. That means now it’s time to start thinking about harvest! AW Vater has a couple of great deals on 2010 New Holland Headers. New Holland’s popular CR970 combine has been updated, with the new model twin rotor CR9070 model offering a number of significant improvements over its predecessor. Major improvements include a new fuel-efficient Tier III engine, an IntelliView TM Plus II colour screen for improved precision ag capabilities, revised grain tank capacity and a longer unloading auger as standard. Maintenance is also improved through the introduction of an air cleaner canister, which draws cleaner air from within the radiator and rotary screen compartment, lengthening the engine air filter maintenance intervals. To find out more about Twin Rotor Technology or to request a free DVD go to www. combinerevolution.com. If you’re in the market for second hand headers AW Vater also has a couple of good options at competitive prices so call Scott to arrange a viewing on 8847 4020. Along with these great deals, the Croplands Cropmister 500 will help you combat locusts. It has a pump galvanised frame and misting fan. The Cropmister is fitted with belts and clutch to allow the mister to be operated independently of the pump. Ideal for control of locusts, red-legged earth mite and similar insect pests.
