Tom’s brush with death in Namibia

TOM Goldney at home in Balaklava before leaving in December last year.

Just days before they were due to arrive home in Balaklava this Sunday from their stay in Namibia, the Goldney family narrowly avoided tragedy. Richard and Carolyn Goldney have revealed how 11-year-old son Tom jumped n Awesome

from the back of a ute after brother, Joseph playfully threw Tom’s shoes from the moving vehicle. Tom hit the ground, with his head hitting the road hard; resulting in a bad concussion, swelling and bruising. The family related their brush with death in an emailed message to various Balaklava friends. Richard was driving the utility at the time, with Tom and Joe travelling in the back with a couple of the village teenagers. They were on their way to a township when the traumatic incident unfolded. The Goldneys have been living and working in a little village called Kaisosi, 6km out of Rundu on the northern border of Namibia, as part of an Africa Inland Mission project. Richard and Carolyn explained Tom’s condition after the fall. “We kept him home for a while but he just kept vomiting,” they wrote. n Continued page 2

The city slicker is on her way to country bumpkin

didn’t know what to expect when I left Adelaide and arrived in Balaklava to begin work as a journalist at the Plains Producer in February. I’ve been in Balaklava for about five months now. The first week I arrived I was thrown into reporting on the 2010 state election. I had to learn who was who, which MPs were important to this region and the political jargon that comes with the territory. During these few months of being a journo, I’ve reported on some of the biggest issues Wakefield Regional Council has faced in recent years. The Evans land case and how could we forget Port Wakefield’s Community Wastewater Management Scheme (a story which I’m proud to say I got my hands on before The Advertiser and Channel Seven’s Today Tonight). Even Balaklava’s community bus

MY VIEW

Lauren Hermon Lauren@plainsproducer. com.au story caused some controversy with council recently deciding to manage the service after Yorke and Lower North Health Services’ withdrawal from the long-standing joint venture. I’ve had to learn ‘farming’ terminology and facts – when is the best season to sow, and the kinds of things farmers can actually sow! Among all of this, I’ve also got up

close and personal with an alleged murderer who cut his own ears off (Mark Brandon ‘Chopper’ Read). I was thrown into the deep end.... and did I mention I can’t swim? It’s been overwhelming, but I’ve enjoyed living and working in Balaklava. It’s been tough living away from home. Perhaps the most challenging thing about being here was the fact I’m very afraid of mice. As you can imagine, I have been scared, stressed out and paranoid about this mice plague we’ve been having! I had never seen a mouse before until Nicole, our sales and customer service assistant invited me to her home at Long Plains. I didn’t know what I was in for when Nicole and her farmer/ shearer husband, Nathan took me on their tractor one night to

sow barley on Nathan’s father’s 65 hectare paddock. I was so terrified of ‘stepping’ on mice as I walked onto the paddock. I couldn’t see the ground and the fear was rising. So, the kind person that she is, Nicole gave me a piggy-back ride onto the tractor. It was at this moment I realised I still had a long way to go until I was officially classified as a county girl. It’s been an eventful five months. I even got bitten by a spider – something that had never happened to me until I arrived in this small country town. My hand was swollen to the point where I couldn’t move it. But I have such supportive colleagues. I came back to work two days later and to make me feel better they had put the Producer’s pet hairy (fake) spider on my chair to surprise me!

Despite the hiccups along the way. I’ve had a lot of fun so far. What I’ve learnt is there are some people won’t like what you write, and others who will praise you. But all in all, I’m writing for the community, hoping to inform, educate and entertain readers. So, despite my fear of mice and now spiders, I have enjoyed working with such friendly, helpful people. And although I sometimes miss Adelaide and being able to shop for clothes, I’m proud to call Balaklava my second home. When I first arrived, driving around town in my pink little car, I was surprised to see people driving past waving at me. I didn’t know how to react – it’s not too often you see that hand gesture on Adelaide streets. But now it’s second nature to me and I wave back!

Lucky escape for Goldney family • From Page 1 Carolyn continued: “It was a blessing Dr Rob was on call and Tom got very good treatment – fluids, anti-nausea drugs and pain killers. “We brought him home and while the drugs were working he slept well (except when I woke him every two hours to check he was okay!). “He woke up and vomited once during the night and the next morning he was still pretty miserable,” the letter read. Unfortunately, Tom started to vomit again the following night, which concerned his doctor, who then insisted Tom have a CT Scan. There is no CT Scanner in Rundu, so it meant the Goldney family had to travel 700km to Windhoek. But more bad luck was on the way when Richard was the victim of some ATM scammers who caught a glimpse of his PIN number, and somehow skimmed his card. The scammers managed to get about $300 from the Goldneys, until Richard and Carolyn emptied the account and cancelled Richard’s bank card. On top of this, Tom’s scans revealed swelling and bruising of the brain and Tom began to feel sick again, and was admitted to the children’s ward and booked in for an emergency follow up CT scan.

“The neurologist spent some time talking to us about the surgery that might have to take place if the area of blood in the brain increased,” the letter read. “Here, I must admit I got a bit teary worrying they may have to open up our little boy’s head,” Carolyn recalled. But it seemed like good luck and strength was on the Goldney’s side. “God is good and thankfully the scan showed no change.” After being discharged from hospital following his traumatic ordeal, Tom is now happily watching Mr Bean episodes with his siblings and is a bit tired with a slight headache. It appears Tom’s extreme symptoms of nausea was as a result of the “stomach flu”. “Annie came down with a stomach flu this morning,” a letter read which was written this Monday. “We are now fairly confident Tom had this as well, and obviously complicated his concussion symptoms.” Richard and Carolyn said the family’s journey back to the comfort of little Balaklava will be this Sunday, provided Tom is well enough. “Tom has improved a great deal, but has to get a ‘fit to fly’ certificate from a doctor before our insurance company will be happy with us flying home Sunday.”

syndrome helps reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. Nuts contain healthy unsaturated fats which help reduce cholesterol levels, and have arginine and fibre to help insulin work more efficiently. Diabetes SA is launching a campaign to help people understand about diabetes and kidney disease. The aim is to highlight diabetes and kidney disease are closely linked, and to encourage people with diabe-

tes to have regular tests to prevent or to diagnose kidney damage early. A significant study of almost 84,000 women found eating nuts can reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Women who ate a handful of nuts five or more times per week have a 27 per cent lower risk of diabetes compared to those who never or rarely ate nuts. • Visit www.nutsforlife.com.au.

LETTER to the Editor

Comment was ‘on the nose’ Local councillors should be applauded for the endless hours they put into our community – however, one would have to question the motive or commitment of a councillor who publicly states ... “people should keep their noses out of it”. The comment made by Councillor Hudson, in last week’s article (the Plains Producer, page 4, July 7) on Balaklava’s bus parking issue, was deplorable. Balaklava businesses strive to keep people shopping locally. Convenience is a major thing in their favour.

Most people nowadays lead hectic lives, and it’s a sad but sure fact many would bypass specialty shops if they couldn’t get a convenient park. Yes, the community bus should take precedence during its weekly scheduled visit to the town centre. And council has stated the current parking restriction is being examined. If councillor Hudson truly believes people should keep their noses out of public issues, perhaps he needs to rethink his important position within our otherwise pro-active community.

Battle of the beach

Indiana our face of the Cup

Balaklava Racing Club is once again gearing up for the start of spring racing with preparations under way for the popular Balaklava Cup on Wednesday, September 1. This year’s ‘Face of Balaklava Cup’ has already been identified as Indiana May – but the club is still looking to select eight home-grown ambassadors, both male and female to represent the club. Winners receive tickets to the Cocktail Club Marquee on Cup Day and will be required to sell raffle tickets during the day. To be in the running you will need to notify organisers of the reasons you would make a good ambassador and

provide a photo of yourself. And as always, Fashions in the Field is set to be the highlight of the day. Balaklava Racing Club, CEO, Doug Hall, said excitement was building for the popular racing event. “This race meeting has grown exponentially in popularity, especially over the last five years,” Mr Hall said. He said the racing club welcomed Indiana aboard to promote not just the Cup but also the Fashions in the Field sponsor Burnside Village Shopping Centre. “We promote to every relevant market and to this end, fashion and racing go hand-in-hand, especially

David again for Games Hoyleton shooting champion, David Chapman, has been selected to represent Australia at the Commonwealth Games in India this October. It won’t be David’s first time representing his country, having competed at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. He won a silver medal in rapid fire pistols pairs at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne. David said he wasn’t surprised, but definitely excited. “It’s fantastic to be in the team,”

he said.“It wasn’t a total surprise. You know when you’re in the running,” But the father’s dream of competing at the same games as his daughter, Hayley, won’t be fulfilled this year. While she continues to compete across the globe, Hayley wasn’t successful in making the Commonwealth Games team. However, she is competing in Munich at the end of July in the World Championships. She also recently returned from America, where she competed and performed well.

with the ladies,” Mr Hall said. Indiana, 22, has successfully secured her own modelling contracts with a number of other SA fashion heavyweights. On top of her major gig with Georgie Lou, she is the female face of store, Suit Co, and fashion label Vague Clothing. Indiana has featured in a number of printed advertisements and catalogues. • More details about the club ambassador competition will be available in coming issues of the Plains Producer, so if you’ve got racing fever, get your entries prepared.

Virginia seminar

AUSVEG , the peak industry body representing the interests of Australian vegetable and potato growers, will hold a seminar in Virginia on Friday, July 23. “EnviroVeg has been developed as the industry’s own environmental management program,” said AUSVEG environment co-ordinator, Darcy Boyd. Theme of the seminar is ‘Managing for Healthy Soils’. The event runs from 3pm – 5.30pm at GrowSA offices, Port Wakefield Road. It features a number of key industry speakers. The program gives growers the chance to improve environmental practices and profitability.

Off-road vehicles are a threat to declining numbers of migratory shorebird species on local beaches. This adds to an array of problems relating to off-road vehicle use on the district’s fragile coastal environment. Other threats to shorebirds are a combination of habitat degradation, water pollution and beach disturbances. The Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges Natural Resource Management Board recently addressed a long-term management plan for important bird habitats near Thompsons Beach. The habitats adjacent to Thompsons Beach support nationally significant numbers of the vulnerable Eastern Curlew, as well as the nationally declining species, Red Knot and Grey Plover. This is the most important area in the Gulf St Vincent for these disappearing species. Manager of Coast and Marine programs with the Adelaide and Mt Lofty Ranges Natural Resources Management Board, Mr Tony Flaherty said over 27,000 shorebirds regularly use Gulf St Vincent. However these numbers are significantly declining. “Even small human disturbances like beachwalking and fishing can impact on them getting enough food. When they fly from threats, they’re burning their reserves for the 10,000 kilometre slog home,” Mr Flaherty said. “We value the annual survey work undertaken by Birds Australia and Birds SA and will continue to support these events. The data collected by skilled volunteers allows us to map and identify shorebird habitat,” said Mr Flaherty. Each summer, thousands of migratory shorebirds fly to Australian shores from breeding grounds in Siberia, northern China and Alaska. They seek refuge on our warm shores for feed and rest. The stretch of mudflats, samphire swamp and saltfields north of Adelaide is the fourth-largest shorebird site in Australia, and is SA’s second most significant site behind the Coorong.

Advice on road names

Clare and Gilbert Valleys Council is seeking input from peak bodies and local history groups for the renaming of several Department of Transport, Energy and Infrastructure (DTEI) roads across the district. The roads likely to undergo name changes are Marrabel–Kapunda road, Tarlee–Kapunda road, Rhynie–Riverton road, Port Wakefield–Auburn road, Auburn–Saddleworth road and Saddleworth–Eudunda road. Council will consult and request the groups to provide appropriate names to be submitted to DTEI.

MALLALA Lions Club caravan was in the wrong spot at the wrong time.

Wild weather batters us Winds gusting to 120 km/h hit the mid north late Friday night, leaving some parts of the Adelaide Plains affected, and Mallala and Districts Lions Club catering van severely damaged, with costs to replace the van estimated at about $30,000. The van was left partially crushed when a large gum tree was snapped off at its base and fell across the rear of the van at Mallala Motor Sport Park during the strong wind storm. The catering van was the major source of fundraising for Mallala and Districts Lions Ladies Auxiliary. According to Lions president, Brian Smith, the damage was extensive. “The damage is probably terminal. It will cost an estimated $30,000 to replace the same 26 foot van with all facilities,” Mr Smith said. But he maintained the club would not be at a loss. “The club is determined a catering van with the same or better facilities, will take its place at the very earliest opportunity,” he said. In other areas of the Adelaide Plains, some parts of Avon were left without power for up to eight hours and a number of fallen trees were also

Balaklava’s CWA is one of the first local ogranisations to come to the aid of the proposed new Balaklava skate park facility, suggested for an area of parklands off Wallace street. About $416 was raised with the support of local businesses and residents, with many people dropping into the CWA clubrooms to purchase scones and cuppas made by Balaklava CWA last Thursday. Skate park committee members were present to help out, including Peter Rohrlach, who has been instrumental in preparing plans for the skate park facility in the town. In a report at last month’s council meeting, Wakefield Regional Council’s community development officer, David Woodroofe, said he was in the process of applying for a grant through the Open Space & Places For People grant funding. Application for funding included the installation of walkway solar lighting throughout the parklands stages two and three. Applications for funding closed Monday.

$7.534 million, with rates accounting for $5.784 million of that. Expenses are expected to amount to $7.882 million. Depreciation is listed as $1.828 million. A positive outcome from 2009-10 projects comes with DCM’s recognition from the Local Government Association (LGA) for innovation in regard to illegal dumping. As a project within the 2009-10 budget, DCM continued to develop illegal-dumping surveillance, providing assistance to neighbouring councils with the aim of prosecuting dumping offenders. “We’re out to get you” illegal

dumping signs were designed and purchased. Council also identified and purchased selected cameras and the project was recognised as a finalist in LGA’s 2010 awards. Chief executive officer, Charles Mansueto said a reduction in dumping had been noticed. Other projects proposed for the 2009-10 year, which have been 100 per cent completed are as follows. • Middle Beach boat ramp was completed in April • The redevelopment of Mallala town square at the corner of Wasleys and Redbanks roads was completed and opened during council’s 75th anniversary • CWMS maintenance at Middle

Beach by a contractor and steps to construct full sewer systems at Two Wells and Mallala are under way • Work continued with Gawler River Flood Management Association for flood mapping of the Gawler River flood plain • Study brief for tender in conjunction with GRFMA and other councils has been finalised.

The plan includes a 15 by 10 metre playground area with two rockers, double swing and castle with slippery dip, double fence, car park and an area for possible development of a endemic species orchard. District Council of Mallala has confirmed a council owned property at 210 Hayman road as the site for the playground, with a view to develop the area into a community centre when funds developing permit.

Council received $58,000 from a Community Infrastructure Program grant towards the playground project. DCM mayor, Marcus Strudwicke, said Lewiston councillors had been the driving force behind the project. “The playground will fill a bit of a gap that has existed in Lewiston,” “Hopefully it will be well supported by the community,” Mr Strudwicke said. Lewiston ward councillor Anne Picard, said the site of the playground was historically significant.

Depot becoming costly Plans for District Council of Mallala’s $1.92 million depot redevelopment are under way, with $53,499 already spent on the project. Councillors requested a report to investigate the possibility of reducing the project in size and scope in order to reduce costs in light of council’s financial constraints. The report, prepared by DCM manager infrastructure and engineering services, John Tillack, recommends no change in scope be made because down scaling would result in the facility not meeting the needs of council to deliver quality services to its customers. The report also noted progress so far and management of contamination issues at the depot site. So far, the old emergency fire services shed, old Mallala library and loading ramp have been

demolished to make way for the new facility while electrical supply and two-way radio links have been rerouted and old underground storage tanks have been removed and reinstated. The report also addressed the possibility of administration services located at Two Wells. “During discussions when developing the new (strategic) plan, council was made aware the chief executive officer indicated any new administration centre should be located at Two Wells. “This concept appears to be supported by the majority of councillors,” the report stated. “Council services will still be required within Mallala and staff believe this support could be provided from the depot, thus potentially creating other opportunities for the existing council offices to be used for other purposes or attracting other services to the town.”

“It’s actually the first piece of land which was named Lewiston,” she said. “The Lewiston school used to be on this site as well, so the history of the site is very interesting,” Mrs Picard said. Mrs Picard said the playground was a “foot in the door” towards a community area. A plaque which commemorates the old school may be relocated to the property to recognise the site’s historic relevance. Demolition of the house which currently occupies the property will begin in August.

$79,000 bonus District Council of Mallala (DCM) and Clare and Gilbert Valleys Council (CGVC) are among local councils to receive community infrastructure funding boosts from the Federal government. Wakefield Regional Council received $106,000, announced in last week’s Plains Producer. DCM will benefit from $79,000 while CGVC gains $51,000 as part of the Regional and Local Community Infrastructure Program. The funds allow councils to nominate projects on behalf of local community organisations as part of a group of councils and environmental protection and climate change infrastructure projects. Light Regional Council received $45,000.

n Off to the World Scout Jamboree in Sweden n

On your trike! Rover scout and former Lewiston resident, Adam Kilpatrick will need a large dose of pedal power for his next adventure. Adam and Stephen WarrenSmith, both 25 are riding their recumbent trikes to the World Scout Jamboree... in Sweden! The 22,000km journey will begin on October 31 in Adelaide and finish at Rinkaby, Sweden for the start of the 22nd World Scout Jamboree in July-August, 2011. Adam, who was a member of the Gawler scout group when he was younger, said he had been planning the trip for about two years. “I’ve always had in the back of my mind that I wanted to do a world trip at some stage,” he said. “This seemed like the perfect opportunity.” It will involve the self-supported recumbents triking through 22 scouting countries and is expected to take eight and a half months. Recumbent trikes are humanpowered-vehicles, which have two

The pair will be not be supported by a motor vehicle so their trikes have been specially built for this expedition to carry their lightweight camping gear, food, water, spare parts and tools. Now an assistant venturer leader in the Barossa, Adam said it would be a good way to promote scouting and adventure activities. “Hopefully it will encourage people to go out and try things,” he said. The adventure follows the route from Adelaide to Perth, via Two Wells, Mallala and Balaklava, where the pair plan to stay for a night. They will make their way to Perth, and fly to South Africa. They will pedal to Sweden via Namibia-Botswana-ZambiaMozambique-Tanzania-KenyaEthiopia-Sudan-Egypt-JordanSyria-Turkey-Bulgaria-Serbia-

Hungary-Austria-Czech RepublicGermany-Denmark. Understandably, Adam and Stephen are currently preparing and training very hard for the expedition. The pair bought the trikes from Melbourne mid-last year, and decided to ride them back to Adelaide. “We couldn’t sit down because our bum muscles hurt so much,” Adam said – but he assured there had been a lot of training between then and now. A Ugandan troop of scouts have been inspired by the courageous pair, and will also ride to the jamboree from their country. Keep track of Adam and Stephen’s preparations, and most importantly what happens on the expedition via the scouts website www.sa.scouts.com. au/worldtrike. The pair, sponsored by the Australian Geographic Society and Outdoor Performance, will also keep a journal of their expedition at www.crazyguyonabike.com.

Depreciation slugs budget Lauren Hermon reports: Wakefield Regional Council (WRC) will increase general rates by six per cent for the 2010/11 financial year. This was decided at a special council meeting to discuss council’s proposed annual budget last Wednesday. The recommended rating option was for an increased rate of five per cent, but this was overturned when a new motion was passed to increase it by an additional one per cent. WRC chief executive officer, Phil Barry, reviewed council’s budget and noted council’s large asset depreciation expense. “Typical of rural councils reporting under an accrual accounting method, WRC continues to face the challenge of dealing with a large asset depreciation expense, which whilst down 3.8 per cent, still is a significant annual estimated expense item in 2010/11 at $3.9 million,” he said. “This is due to the high asset level for a relatively small resident populated council, having the fourth longest road network in SA. “Also added to the burden is the various duplicated community buildings and structures on council’s books in many towns and settlements. “All this adds to an extremely high annual depreciation expense. It is also an ongoing and

future annual cost to the ratepayer without an immediate service return creating the potential foregoing of other opportunities to improve services,” he said. Council received no feedback when the draft annual business plan recently was released for public comment. Some councillors said neighbouring councils were considering rises at least equal to WRC’s, if not higher. Council is budgeting for a deficit of $588,621, with the afore mentioned depreciation expense of $3.89 million playing a major part in that figure. WRC’s total income for the proposed b u d g e t 2 0 1 0 / 11 i s $9,501,963 with total expenses amounting to $10,417,335. One of the biggest expenses is in the recommended roadworks construction program, with costs estimated at $2.4 million. Town roadworks budgeted at $276,588, include: • Gwy terrace, Balaklava - $38,000 allocated to Humphry street to High School Crossing - create a shared pedestrian cycle path (subject to funding grant which was unsuc-

NEWS v District Give blood in Balaklava

New Network car Mid North Community Passenger Network – based at Balaklava Hospital – has a new Ford Falcon to transport patients from the mid north to Adelaide and Clare. Mid North Community Passenger Network drivers and coordinator, Damien Graham, met at Balaklava Hospital last Wednesday to take a closer look at the new vehicle. Mr Graham said Balaklava was long overdue for a new vehicle to service clients in the area. “Due to the rapid expansion and use, the network is in a position to now purchase more vehicles for the Mid North Region,” he said. Mr Graham said the service to frail and aged patients was “invaluable”. Regular passenger and Balaklava resident, Rhonda Baker, who injured her back earlier in the year was also present to admire the new vehicle, and described the service as “perfect”. “Without it I wouldn’t have a way of getting the medical treatment I need,” she said.

Dublin meeting on parking Business owners and community groups will rally against no parking zones on Sixth street in Dublin this Saturday from about 11am. Community groups have joined the protest as they regularly use the area for fund-raising barbecues.

Banner marks Avon’s proud history

An interesting piece of history has been preserved at Avon Hall through the discovery of a banner from Avon Fighting Forces Comfort Fund. The banner was donated to the Avon Hall by Ross McArdle during recent History Week celebrations and Avon Hall’s 50 year anniversary. It was framed and hung in the

hall with the help of Balaklava neighbourhood shed group. The banner was hand stitched in 1941 and features the names of those who contributed to the fund. Avon Hall committee member Jill Stewart said members of the older generation might be able to shed light on the banner. “This precious piece of Avon history has many stories yet to

Avon Hall committee was pleased members of Balaklava neighbourhood shed were kind enough to offer their assistance in framing the banner and getting it established in the hall.

The Australian Red Cross Blood Service is returning to Balaklava with its mobile collection unit. Blood donations are needed for cancer patients, people undergoing surgery, pregnant women and newborn babies.

Growing your own vegies during the war Have you ever thought of the humble backyard vegie patch or the chook house as weapons of war? In World War II, that’s what they became as governments turned to Australia’s suburban backyards in an effort to solve food shortages. An article in a history magazine tells us Australia had a surplus of commercially produced food in the early years of the war, but this changed after Japan entered the fray and American supplies were diverted to Russia. Australia also supplied food to other countries (eg. United Kingdom) and the allied forces here and abroad. By 1942 Australia was facing significant shortfalls of milk, meat, eggs and canned fruit. As commercial producers struggled with shortfalls, efforts to improve the health and efficiency of the population were stepped up. The demands of war required that citizens be fit not only to increase the rate of production but also to defend the nation, if

necessary. People were urged to “eat foods that help make Australia strong.” In 1943 the “Grow Your Own” campaign began and while the civilians were not expected to make up the shortfall in milk and meat, they were encouraged to grow their own vegetables, keep poultry for eggs, and therefore eat more foods they could produce. The “Grow Your Own” campaign was promoted as a patriotic duty. A film was even made to help people understand how their vegie patch (growing their own cabbages and carrots) would benefit the whole country. In addition to its patriotic appeal, the campaign reflected and reinforced the notion of

Pet owners are urged to prepare their pets for travel as more Australians take their animals on holidays. Dr Mark Perissinotto, head vet at online pet supply retailer VetShopAustralia.com.au, said there is a growing trend to holiday with pets. “With school holidays just around the corner, you can guarantee there’ll be lots of furry, feathered or even scaly friends coming along for the ride,” Dr Perissinotto said. “Pets are very much a part of the Australian family and many of us wouldn’t dream of going anywhere without them, particularly now with more holiday accommodation being pet friendly.

Preparing pets for travel “But there’s a lot to think about when taking your pet on holidays to ensure everyone has a safe and happy trip.” Studies show dogs account for 78 per cent of all animals travelling, followed by cats (15 per cent), birds (5 per cent) and other small pets including rabbits, fish and ferrets (2 per cent). Most animals travel by car. The majority of people who travel with their pets stay with friends or relatives, in hotels, recreation vehicles or tents and cabins or vacation homes. “Car travel can make pets fearful.

leave by taking them on a few trial journeys to get them used to the experience,” Dr Perissinotto said. “Some animals suffer from travel sickness so watch for signs of distress during these trial runs and talk to your vet before you go about ways to ward off nausea. “All pets should also be restrained but make sure your pet is

comfortable with these restraints before setting off on your journey.” Dr Perissinotto said it was important to stop frequently to let your pet stretch its legs, have a drink of water and go to the toilet. He also added to “…make sure all vaccinations are up to date, registration and microchip contact details are current and your pet is wearing an ID tag.”

So many ideas about God! But the Bible quotes God’s own words: “I the Lord do not change” Malachi 3.6. His love, holiness, and awesome power remain constant.

D The world’s smallest dog is the Chihuahua, which means “tiny dog in the sky.” D 75 per cent of wild birds die before they are six months old. D The bee hummingbird of Cuba is the smallest bird in the world. •From: www.didyouknow.org

NEWS v District

A prized collection of memories

rabbits for pocket money. In WA there was a family member who, when asked to write an essay about what she did in the school holidays (in about 1915) wrote, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Got up, worked, went to bed, got up, worked, went to bedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. She was punished for her honesty. Many male family members died tragically at a young age, leaving their wives with children to cope. This tells us farming was indeed a hazardous living. They led full social lives with dancing, playing tennis, riding, music and travel. There is sad reading of the young life of Florence Jane Wood, who was abused by her employer and bore his child. Seems she spent her life caring for others. There was Claire, who would go into John Martins or Myers, look at the clothes there, and then go home and copy them for her children. There were two brothers who went to church on alternate weeks. With only one suit, they had to share it. One of these Wood boys married a Forrest. All this certainly adds colour to a family history. Judges said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where details would interrupt the story, such as newspaper reports of Richardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Court case, appendices have been used. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Wood family letters in Appendix C are a wonderful inclusion and well placed within the book as a conclusion.â&#x20AC;? Enquiries about purchases may be directed to Brenda Westlake at tcwestlake@gmail.com or 8298

One property now has the sixth generation living and working on it. They grew grain, had cattle, sheep for wool and meat, pigs, dairy cows, fowls, as well as growing hay for their horses and other stock. Living at Dalkey Hill (or Woods), Woodlands, Narridy, Avon, Mallala and Balaklava, they also moved and prospered in WA and Victoria. In some places they started with virgin land having to cart water from elsewhere. They were and are all hard-working. Income was supplemented with selling mallee stumps and trapping

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Collaborationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; key to modern farm survival farmers globally are over-capitalised beyond what a successful business can reasonably sustain into the future,â&#x20AC;? John said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The advantages of full utilisation of capital and resources, purchasing of inputs, sharing labour and the full business and financial accountability such a venture brings create great opportunities for Australian farming operations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The key to collaborative farming is having a comprehensive business plan with well documented entry and exit clauses for all parties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The two greatest threats are emotions and personalities of the parties involved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fodder industry lends itself well to a collaborative model as the business often has large volumes of capital tied up in machinery that can easily be under-utilised.â&#x20AC;? Registration forms to the conference are available on the Australian Fodder Industry Association website www.afia. org.au or phone (03) 9530 2199.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;COLLABORATIVEâ&#x20AC;? farming â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where groups of farmers combine for economical benefit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will be under the microscope at the National Fodder Conference in Adelaide next month. The collaborative concept brings together a small group of farmers, usually two to five, thereby creating â&#x20AC;&#x153;efficiency unitsâ&#x20AC;?. The large parcel of land and equipment is farmed and utilised as a collaborative entity providing significant efficiencies and lowering the cost of production. Nuffield Scholar John Gladigau will present his research on this topic at the National Fodder Conference at Adelaide Convention Centre on August. 10-11. Awarded a Nuffield Scholarship in 2006 sponsored by the Australian Barley Board, John travelled to Canada, New Zealand, Mexico, Brazil, UK and Europe to gain an international perspective on collaborative ventures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At a time when our terms of trade are diminishing it is widely documented

Last week the Plains Producer published the above photograph in an attempt to identify the people who were at Balaklava Show in 1928. Colin Tiller contacted us last week and identified the woman at right as his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s twin sister, May Liersch. The old black and white photograph was discovered in a wardrobe bought at a garage sale by a couple in the North Eastern suburbs of Adelaide. Contact Norma Schopp from Balaklava Museum on 8862 1854 if you can identify the others.

The book, compiled and edited by Wood descendants Brenda Westlake, Julie Wilson, Julie Hallett and Rosemarie Jeffs was launched in Owen on September 30 last year. Copies of the book have been donated to the Balaklava, Clare, Owen and Riverton community libraries, as well as the Mallala Historical Museum.

farming v District

Drought, mice ... and now, just when you thought it safe to go back into the paddock!

The cruel cut (worm) Just when local farmers thought the mice plague was coming to an end, they are warned of another cropdestroying pest – cutworms. Growers in South Australia’s Lower North and Murraylands districts are advised to closely monitor crops over the coming weeks, following reports of cutworms damaging establishing crops. PestFacts South Australia and Western Victoria co-ordinators have received reports of larvae damaging – in some instances destroying – canola and lupin crops near Stockport and a wheat crop at Lochiel in the Lower North, as well as cereal, pea and lupin crops around Mannum in the Murraylands. Stockport farmer Mark Branson is one victim of the unforgiving cutworm. But he said there’s no point dwelling on it. “That’s farming. It will obviously affect the yield,” he said. Mr Branson has sprayed 300 hectares and has had to resow 65 hectares. “We just need a good spring rain now to recover,” “If we’d known earlier what was going on, we might have been able to get on top of the problem,” Mr Branson said. Crops sown later or in paddocks with pasture last season appear to be suffering the most damage. It is likely these larvae have developed from significant moth flights and

egg-laying activity in these districts within the last few weeks, according to PestFacts co-ordinator, Kym Perry (SARDI Entomology), whose work is supported by growers and the Australian Government through Grains Research and Development Corporation’s (GRDC) investment in the National Invertebrate Pest Initiative (NIPI). Mr Perry said growers in the Lower North and Murraylands districts should closely monitor crops over the next few weeks as larvae (which can grow up to 40-50 mm long) may not yet be fully mature and have the potential to cause more damage. South Australian grains biosecurity officer, Judy Bellati, said growers should be aware of another cutworm species, turnip moth, which is listed as a grains biosecurity threat. Like all cutworms, turnip moth is polyphagous and would find no shortage of host crops in Australia. Turnip moth larvae are greyishbrown (sometimes with a purple tinge) with three dark and two light longitudinal bands on their backs and a narrow dark band along the midline. If growers suspect or see any unusual cutworms, they are encouraged to send them to the SARDI Entomology Unit which offers a free insect diagnostic service for PestFacts subscribers. For more information, contact Kym Perry on 8303 9370, Ken Henry on 8303 9540 or Gabriella Caon 8303 9536, or visit www.grdc.com.au/pestlinks.

SPORT v Netball

Intense last quarter battle sees Wells girls with the win Two Wells girls had a good win against Hummocks, after a strong start led them to a four goal win. The first quarter saw the Wells girls gain a 11-goal lead with tight all-court pressure and several good turnovers. But the second quarter went the Hummocks girls’ way, fighting back to get within a few goals at half time. Two Wells GS Cassie Lange and Hummocks GA Bonnie Nicholls both shot well given the conditions, continuing their accurate form in the strong wind. A physical third quarter was evenly contested with

mid-court pressure intense from both teams. It was basically goalfor-goal for the remainder of the game, as Hummocks fought to gain much-needed turnovers. Defence was tight at both ends, with feeders having to re-offer and move the ball around. Stacey Gameau attacked the ball and was as hard working as always, while Hummocks mid courters pushed themselves and moved the ball fast. Judy Britza was strong in C with some tight hustles. But the Wells girls held their lead with a steady attacking game.

Plains Producer, Wednesday July 14, 2010

SPORT v Football

One tough round of footy Clubs battle it out for ladder positions THREE important games this week as we head into footy’s “final round”, each team playing each other once more in the “minor round”.

My Call n Kym Jarman previews round 13 football matches

TWO WELLS V UNITED

The equation for home side Two Wells this week is simple – only a win will do! The Roosters dropped an important game last week against the Eagles, and now find themselves outside the top four and needing to take care of the Tigers this week. After making last year’s grand final, the Roosters consider themselves a genuine contender in 2010. But unless they can catch the fourth placed Rams soon, they will make it hard for themselves in the next seven weeks. Two Wells have topped up their midfield in recent weeks, with the inclusion of former Port MagpieAlf Steed and the return of local boy Adam Humzy, who has returned from a serious injury. Both players have been good since their inclusions, backing up a midfield which boasts the likes of Zone players Ned Seccafien and Tallan Leighton, as well as perennial Plains Producer Medal favourite Lee Allmond. The Tigers have been in decent form of late. In their most recent outing, they got within 10 points of league leaders Mallala. The final margin was impressive enough let alone the fact they outscored the Magpies after quarter time, pegging back a five goal head start. United aren’t without a chance

this week, but it must be said their form at Two Wells Oval over the years has not been great. I think the Roosters simply have too much to lose to drop this one.

HWE V MALLALA (at Lochiel)

This week’s match at Lochiel becomes a one v two clash courtesy of the Hummocks-Watchman Eagles’ great win over Two Wells last weekend. The Eagles have had an interesting run of form this year, starting the season with a rush winning their first four games. They then lost their next three, but interestingly again find themselves amid a winning streak with three in a row since the June long weekend break. Although they have changed coaches mid-season, the Eagles’ form in an all important clash last weekend at Two Wells (in Harry Taylor’s return match in charge), suggests the playing group’s desire is as strong as ever. Now that they hold second place on percentage, the Eagles will be hell bent on making every win this season count from here on to secure a top two finish at season’s end. A side that will most definitely

be playing in this year’s second semi final at their home ground will be Mallala, who sit top of the table – two games clear of HWE and Balaklava. Mallala were undefeated up until last weekend when the Rams got a hold of them down at Virginia. The fact the Magpies have now been beaten means other sides in the competition will know the task in overcoming Mallala is not beyond them. We already know how much experience the Eagles boast across all lines, and again last weekend it counted for plenty in dismissing last year’s grand finalists – the young Two Wells side. Although it’s hard to see Mallala losing two games in a row, given the Eagles’ recent run of confidence coupled with home ground advantage means they are hard to go past in this one.

VIRGINIA V BALAKLAVA

This week’s match between Virginia and Balaklava has huge consequences in regards to how the final four will shape up at season’s end. As it stands, Balaklava sit equal second on the table (third on percentage) and two games ahead of this week’s opponents while Virginia hold fourth spot on the APFL table by a just game over neighbour Two Wells. Should Virginia be able to get a home win this week against Balaklava, they will be nicely poised to push ahead of the Roosters and hold fourth place throughout this final round

of matches between now and the end of August. Virginia are in good form as they defeated the previously undefeated Magpies just last weekend.Although we thought Mallala were going to be without some of their A grade midfielders, in the end they were allowed to play by the APFL and the Rams got the job done over them anyway. The Rams will take much confidence out of last weekend’s match, and with another home match this week can look to make a move closer to the top two and, more importantly, move towards securing a 2010 finals berth. Balaklava, though, will provide stiff opposition. The Peckers will travel to Virginia also full of confidence after an important win over the Roosters, followed by a convincing win over the Hamley Bridge Bombers. The Peckers are an ever dangerous side and with now finding themselves in such a favourable ladder position heading into the last round, they will surely be doing all they can to cement it and hopefully look towards a double chance come finals time. Balaklava have been part of a four way tussle all year with the Roosters, Rams and Eagles. Only three of the four can make it, so games like this between two sides in the mix are ever so important. I just think home ground advantage and a more desperate approach may see the Rams home narrowly this weekend.

Rams upset the ladder leaders Virginia 11-10 (76) defeated Mallala 10-10 (70). Virginia Rams have finally upset the Magpie winning-streak in a close encounter at Virginia. The Rams played catch up after the Magpies got a four goal lead in the first quarter. But the Rams picked up the pieces in the second term, out scoring the Magpies by the same margin. At half time the Rams led by five points, setting up a gnarly final half for both sides. Work ethic from the crux of Magpies’ midfield was led by captain Jason Earl, with Ryan Montgomerie and Daniel Feeley adding to the offensive pressure. Troy Wilkey continued his impressive form for the Rams, leading the side with dominant possession and two goals. Brendon Niklaus also powered his side forward with five goals. Wilkey and Caleb Howell were influential in this hard fought win for the Rams, setting up plays from the centre. Rams coach Greg Phillips was happy with the team effort. “The pleasing part was we’ve played the best team game all season,” he said. “There were a lot of good players and we hung in there.” Balaklava 17-19 (121) defeated Hamley Bridge 6-8 (44). Balaklava Peckers overpowered the Hamley Bridge Bombers in another convincing win to position themselves comfortably in third position on the premiership table on equal points . The Peckers showed silky skills in the conditions, with goals kicked steadily at both ends of the ground. A good start saw the Peckers get a six goal lead by half time. New addition to the Peckers, Elias Palipuaminni got plenty of the ball and contributed to the margin with one goal. Jonathon Brice continued his good form with a three goal effort while Stuart Lamond

and Hayden Walker also had a big impact on the match. Tom Smith stood out for the Bombers, with good back up from Craig Allen and Dylan Lockwood. Ben Catford was a driving force in the mid field for the Peckers, having a big influence on ball movement. Hummocks-Watchman Eagles 11-10 (76) defeated Two Wells 7-3 (55). The Eagles left Two Wells behind in a dominant performance at Two Wells to win by 21 points. The Eagles looked heads and shoulders above the Roosters on Saturday, with uncontested kicks and marks, while the Roosters took a ‘kick and hope’ approach on many occasions.

Experience and control flowed from Eagles’ mid field with solid performances from Jared Wilson and Tom Rowe. Joe Wilson, David Oswald, Andrew Hunt and Sam Baker also played out a hard game. With a line up which looks better on paper, it’s amazing the Rooster side hasn’t gelled like last year. Perhaps it was the Roosters’ underdog appeal which gave them the edge last year. On the other hand, maybe all the teams in the competition have raised the bar. Ned Seccafien, Tallan Leighton and Khan Leighton have been playing some their best football for the Roosters and again gave their side options all game. Speed and agility of the Leighton brothers was elusive to the Eagles, but the running game of the Roosters was upset by good defensive pressure on the Eagle’s behalf. Paul Christofis accounted for six of the Roosters’ seven goals and gave the team a solid target in the forward lines. But pressure is now on the Roosters to achieve the very thing which makes football interesting – finals.

Cats get home despite poor kicking Round 11 in review

n LEFT: Aaryn Lloyd in action for the BlythSnowtown Cats during Saturday’s match against South Clare. n BELOW: Blyth-Snowtown’s Brad Bell was a definite standout player in the match against South Clare.

By Peter Argent Inaccurate early, the Cats survived a third quarter revival from South Clare, but still won this away match. Blyth-Snowtown dominated the first term kicking towards the netball courts end of Clare Oval, with the aid of a strong gusting breeze, but was highly inaccurate kicking eight points from 11 scoring shots and a large number of forward entries. By half time, while the Cats had dominated the play, they were only 22 points up. “We certainly didn’t make the most of our opportunities and the game should have been done and dusted by the main break,” coach Brett Ireland said. “The win dropped out after half time and to South’s credit they were good in the third. “I asked the boys to respond at thee-quarter time and they did.” Gareth Ottens was superb in defence, playing on Michael Liebelt, although his opponent kicked four goals. Nick McCormack in the engine room, the fleet footed Scott Atkinson and the industrious Glen

Hayes all won plenty of the ball. Nick Humphrys played with his usual coolness and control, while Shay Clifford responded well after spending the previous round in the reserves. “We asked Shay to play at centre half forward in the windy and cold conditions,” Ireland continued. “Having to throw the forward line around after the loss of Jarrod Gillings and he was given a roving role in attack. “We got a lot of rebound out of Gareth, while both Brad Bell and Ryan Darling could both consider themselves unlikely not to be in the best player lists. “It also was Jason Agnew’s first full game of A grade this year and he’ll be better for the run.” Along with Clifford’s four and Bell’s three goal haul, Ash Hentschke helped out with a pair of majors. For South Matt Dare was best, followed by state country squad member, the athletic Brodie Murphy. Playing coach Matthew Vandeleur, along

with brothers Josh and Andrew were all serviceable, as was Alex Heinrich. Along with Lieblet’s four, both Matt Stopp and Michael Aloisi kicked two goals each for the Dees’. Eagles tear Rams apart The Rams’ aspirations of back-to-back North Eastern Football League A grade premierships is hanging by a thread after an 80-point mauling by Mintaro-Manoora at Burra Oval. This game was in the balance at quarter time, but six-goals-to-one in the second by the Eagles set up the victory. BBH reduced the lead with four majors in the third, but a potent ninegoal last term endured the handsome victory. The Eagles’ big three, former league footballers Brad Taylor (Norwood), Aaron Bevis (Central) and Ryan McDermid (The Redlegs this year), all had a telling impact on proceedings. Along with Daniel Fogden, McDermid kicked four goals each, while the trio of a quietish by his standard Brad Currie, Steve Baraglia and Taylor all finished with a brace. Although beaten by the athletic Aaron Spicer, Tom McInerney competed manfully in ruck. Michael Young gave Min-Man drive from half back and Ricky Piggot

was solid around the ball as well. Playing in the midfield all day, Tom Riggs was the Rams’ best, followed by Spicer and 2010 recruit Nick Jackman. After starting up forward, Boh Wall was pushed into the middle and had an impact, while team leader Casey Cooper played with his usual endeavour and desire. David Reed was the home teams’ only multiple goal kicker in a modest effort in attack. It is clearly evident this is an area coach Peter Whittlesea has a real issue with at the moment. Roosters show Saints why they’ll be in top four At Eudunda Oval for the first time since round one, things didn’t change much for the Southern Saints. North Clare’s 38 scoring shots to 11 told the story of his game. Their opponent North Clare were out of the blocks quickly, kicking 5-6 in the first quarter, while Eudunda-Robertstown remained scoreless. A further five goals in the third term gave the Roosters a 71 point lead at lemons. The final margin was a convincing 82 point victory by North Clare, which keeps them right in the battle for a place in the top four. Mail Medal favourite

Craig Jaeschke produced yet another stellar performance, while Nick Prokopec was easily the best target in attack, kicking seven goals for North. Andrew Waters ran hard all day, while Damien Ellis and Matt Ward claimed many possessions. Andrew Amey may be a little unfashionable, but his consistency has been one of the reasons for the Roosters strong performances this winter. Interestingly, George Coles’ group had another nine goal kickers which was have pleased the coach. Evergreen 300-plus game veteran Steve Geister was the Saints’ best in a game where he kicked two goals. Half back Clinton Voigt, co-captains Jarred Mosey and Richard Schmidt, along with Errol Mumford and defender Mick Zerner were the better players for Eudunda-Robertstown. Hawks soar high above Tigers The ladder leading Hawks had a solid 44point win against the second bottom team in competition at Riverton Oval. At the first break, the Tigers actually led by two points. In testing conditions, RSMU kicked three goals in the second term, while keeping BSR to

just the one score in this quarter – a point. During the third quarter, 10 goals were kicked – as many as the rest of the game – and then with two unanswered goals in the last quarter, the Hawks ensured their position at the top of the ladder. After solid performances at the SA Country Championships, Tyson Willmott was best on ground, followed by five-goal forward James Vandeleur. Sam Noack was creative and penetrating from his wing, while Zack Hier produced a sterling effort at centre half back Developing RSMU ruckman Brock Harrison was the best big man in the contest. Damien Mellow (four) and Craig Weckert (two) kicked six of the Tigers seven goals. Paul Jones, Leigh Fuller and Scott Morris were BSR’s best, followed by Ash Burgess, Ben Pilkington and Alex Smart.

This week’s NEFL matches: South v North clash marks 50 years of cross town rivalry

The round 12 NEFL contests feature a celebration game between the two Clare based clubs, South and North, to commemorate the 50 years of this cross town rivalry. It is a critical clash for both clubs’ finals desires. The third placed Mintaro-Manoora Eagles take on the RSMU Hawks at Manoora Oval. The Blyth-Snowtown Cats are expected to have a big win over the BSR Tigers at Blyth Oval, in the clash of club with a history in the Broughton competition. After a couple of huge losses, the BBH Rams should return to the winners circle in the clash against the winless Eudunda-Robertstown in a second successive game at Burra Oval.

Eleven-year-old Tommy Woodroofe, who plays in the minis for Balaklava, travelled with grandparents David and Joy Woodroofe, of Owen, to watch the Norwood v Eagles clash on Sunday. Sitting in front and next to the trio were young Crows players Kurt Tippett, Bernie Vince, Richard Douglas, Patrick Dangerfield, David MacKay and Rory Sloane. Grandfather David has been trying to get Tommy barracking for Norwood, as the Woodroofe name goes back a long way in the club – David’s grandfather (who is also named Tom) played 141 games for Norwood and captained the side from 1935-39 and the Woodroofe drink factory was next door to Norwood oval. Tommy was lucky enough to have a photo snapped with his favourite Crows footballer, Richard Douglas.

Leon Zbierski at last, at least according to him, had a win in B grade with 41 and Steve Sando won C grade with 39. In matchplay, Yogi Frencken defeated Simon Grigg 4/2 with a steady game in the conditions. Ian Clark must have wondered why he played coming in with a NAGA 24, but then proceeded to win his fourth meat tray in four weeks and then doubled it up much to his embarrassment.

SARDI gets new chief as Lewis moves on Affiliate professor Pauline Mooney has taken the reins of Australia’s leading primary industry state research organisation, the South Australian Research and Development Institute as its executive director. Professor Mooney joined SARDI five years ago as research director, refocusing and reshaping SARDI as the State responds to evolving national research and development priorities. For the past year professor Mooney has been SARDI’s deputy executive director. Previously, professor Mooney held a number of science leadership positions across

a diverse range of disciplines from plant breeding and pre and post harvest physiology through to gene technologies and bioengineering. She has previously led significant horticulture, bioscience and foodrelated science programs in New Zealand and South Africa. Her science background includes a Bachelor of Science (Honours) and Masters of Science spanning the fields of botany, genetics, microbiology, plant pathology and phycology at the University of Natal in South Africa, and a PhD majoring in molecular biology at Sydney University. She replaces affiliate professor

Rob Lewis, who has led SARDI for the past 17 years. Professor Lewis will continue to serve on significant private and public sector boards. Among new opportunities professor Lewis will be taking up is a role as the independent chair of the Fisheries and Aquaculture National Priorities Forum. Professor Mooney is not new to the role of heading SARDI, having been appointed acting executive director while professor Lewis was South Australia’s acting water security commissioner during six months in 2008. SARDI is the research arm of Primary Industries and Resources SA.

Conservation plan targets local enviro threats Threatened ecological communities such as the Northern Mount Lofty Ranges’ temperate grasslands and grassy woodlands will soon begin to benefit from a Conservation Action Plan (CAP) prepared for the Northern and Yorke region. The plan, which took three years to develop, was initiated by Northern and Yorke Natural

Resources Management Board in collaboration with Greening Australia, the Wilderness Society, the Nature Conservation Society and the Department for Environment and Heritage. “When developing the CAP we adopted strategic, systematic, landscape and collaborative approaches to help us better conserve the region’s biodiversity,”

said Northern and Yorke NRM Board’s general manager, Lynne Walden. A landscape conservation management selection process, identifying priority conservation projects will be undertaken over the next three to five years. The list of threats to the Northern and Yorke landscape is extensive.
