Battle for Wakefield Champion and Strauss face up

! t a h t or f e ot School? we v n SCHOOL gets the popular vote for these youngsters, who started at Balaklava Primary when local schools resumed after holidays this week. Photographer Lisa Redpath found (from left) Tom Clark (reception), Ellie Bell (reception) and Lara Clark (year 2) enjoying the playground before classes and the incredible journey of learning began.

POLITICAL candidates for the local seat of Wakefield are shaping up less than a week into the 2010 Federal election campaign.

Australians will go to the polls on Saturday, August 21 – with sitting MP, Labor’s Nick Champion telling the Plains Producer there were “clear differences” between the two political parties.

“The choice for voters is clear. Julia Gillard is committed to moving Australia forward, while (Opposition Leader) Tony Abbott will take us back to the days of cuts in health and education and back to the worst aspects of Work Choices,” Mr Champion said.

Liberal Party candidate, Gawler councillor David Strauss, said Labor needed to stop wasting money.

Mr Strauss said a health policy, with more funding provided to hospitals, particularly country hospitals, was important, along with improved regional roads.

The election date sets a five-week campaign battle between a Prime Minister who has been in the hot seat for three weeks and

Opposition Leader, Tony Abbott, shown to be lagging in the polls.

Labor MP Nick Champion, took Wakefield from the Liberal party at the 2007 election, defeating David Fawcett, who in this election contests the Senate.

Mr Champion’s vote, buoyed by the “Ruddslide” of 2007, turned the marginal seat into a fairly safe Labor seat with a buffer of 6.28 per cent on first preferences.

A mix of urban and rural voters, Wakefield covers an area of about 6,155 squ. km, from the northern suburbs of Adelaide to Clare.

The towns of Virginia, Gawler, Port Wakefield (part), Balaklava, Kapunda, Riverton, Mallala, Freeling and Tarlee are included. The main suburbs include Elizabeth, Salisbury, Craigmore and Munno Para.

Grey, which takes in areas of rural land north of Balaklava and includes the towns of Snowtown, Lochiel, Brinkworth and Blyth, should see the sitting member for the Liberal Party, Rowan Ramsey, hold the the huge rural seat – despite a reduced majority at the last election.

Wild weather – but rain welcome THE frightening sight at left confronted Pat Ovenden and daughter Taryn when driving to Adelaide from Owen about 10am last Wednesday.

The picture, taken with Taryn’s mobile phone shows what appears to be a small “tornado” heading towards them as they drove south from Mallala.

It was travelling from east to west, across paddocks just north of the Light river on the Mallala – Two Wells road.

Mallala was hit by wild weather on the same day, with a house losing its roof and trees falling at Redbanks.

“It was quite frightening to see it coming our way,” Pat said.

“We stopped and other cars pulled off the road as it went through.

“We felt as if we were a ‘tornado-chaser’ as you see on US TV reports.”

Kylie Egan, acting manager of the severe weather section at the Bureau of Meteorology, has been completing a follow up on the event.

Ms Egan said the velocity radar screen (pictured below) indicates the wind speed at the time of the tornado.

“It shows the cell formed close to the coast in a north-easterly direction,” she said. “The image shows there was enough wind to generate a tornado, and shows it weakening not far out of Redbanks.”

Senior meteorologist at the Bureau of Meteorology, Darren Ray, said tornados were often associated with severe thunderstorm activity.

“Strong winds during thunderstorms begin the cycle and quite cold, dense air forms and falls to the ground,” Mr Ray said.

“The variations in direction of wind combined with air creates circular wind patterns - ultimately forming a tornado.”

He described tornadoes as a “quite localised phenomena”, and said South Australia and the south western areas were most common locations for tornados to hit; with strongest wind activity in winter and spring.

Tornadoes are said to be more prevalent in America than in Australia. n RAINFALL: As rain lashed towns over the past week, Riverton recorded the highest fall with 27mm, while Two Wells received 25 and Hoyleton and Auburn 22.

Other towns: Blyth 19, Balaklava 15, Hamley Bridge 16, Mallala17, Marrabel 23, Owen 20, Port Wakefield 12, Roseworthy 21, Saddleworth 16 and Snowtown 16.

‘Mission accomplished’ Home in Balaklava, Goldneys say they would do it all again Back in Balaklava after six months on a mission to Africa, the Goldney family arrived home with a new-found appreciation for the little things in life.

The Goldneys – Richard and Carolyn and children, Joseph, Elliott, Thomas and Annie – arrived in Adelaide early yesterday morning.

They flew out from the town of Windhoek on Sunday afternoon (Namibia time).

The Goldneys left Balaklava last December and had 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.

Carolyn Goldney spoke of the family’s experiences travelling in Africa.

“It was an amazing experience,” Carolyn said. “It’s a really different culture. We were in the middle of nowhere. It was very tribal.”

Carolyn said both she and husband Richard and the children had come to appreciate and feel more privileged to have good education and health services available to them.

“The public school I worked at had holes in the roof and the children barely had anything to sit on,” Carolyn said.

Lauren Hermon reports: “When Tom had his health scare (after he fell from a moving ute, hitting his head hard on the ground) it really taught him to appreciate the service hospitals provide back home.

“We’ve really come to appreciate the excellent education and health services we have in Australia.”

Regardless of the lack of vital resources, Carolyn maintained the people of Namibia were happy despite having very little.

“They remained happy all the time. It’s inspiring,” she said.

“It showed how strong people can be despite years of oppression.”

In the final letter of a series of blogs written to family and friends back home, Richard and Carolyn wrote fondly of their time in Namibia: “We leave with mixed feelings.

We will miss the friends we have made here a great deal, but also we will miss the country itself,” they wrote.

“There is no place quite like Africa!

“God has blessed us in so many ways we are overwhelmed with this privilege and experience,” they wrote.

Suburbs to play major role in ‘Snowtown’ film Despite local MPs and residents’ disapproval, it has been confirmed the film “Snowtown” is at pre-production, with filming to begin on August 1.

The film is expected to be released some time early next year.

Victorian-based production company, Warp Films, has been in South Australia for the past few weeks in preparation for filming.

In March this year, it was revealed South Australia Film Corporation put $212,000 towards the film’s creation, along with a similar amount from its Victorian counterpart.

Director, Justin Kurzel, is said to be avoiding all media until completion of the local film, detailing the notorious bodies in the barrel murders.

Co-producer, Anna McLeish, said production crew were trying to remain “low key” while in South Australia due to the sensitivity and concern of Snowtown residents.

Although Snowtown will feature

in the film, Ms McLeish insisted the film would be predominately based in Adelaide’s northern suburbs.

When questioned which suburbs in particular would play a role, she refused to divulge details.

Snowtown Management Committee chairman, Paul McCormack, who met with Warp Films in Snowtown to discuss the town’s concerns in March, was unaware the crew was in South Australia.

He did, however, empathise with Ms McLeish regarding filming taking place in the northern suburbs.

Director Justin Kurzel has an extensive list of achievements in film, mostly with advertising.

His most recent awards have included his work for WWF Earth Hour, which received major attention at the Cannes International Advertising Festival in 2007, winning a Titanium Lion.

He has also directed ad campaigns for clients including McDonalds, Austar, Who Weekly and Tooheys.

Dublin people not so mellow about yellow!

About 40 people attended a rally in Dublin on Saturday against the establishment of yellow lines on the service road, Sixth street.

Community groups and local business owners were among the protesters who said they were rallying to have the yellow lines removed as soon as possible to prevent further revenue loss and inconvenience.

A motion has been proposed, although not yet passed, that District Council of Mallala agree to remove the lines temporally to ascertain whether there is a safety risk without them.

If there are no accidents during this period, the lines should be permanently removed.

“Every day the line is there it’s costing us money,” Dublin Fruit and Veg’s, Micheal Dimasi said.

Representatives from Two Wells scouts, Dublin history group, Thompson Beach Ratepayers Association and Dublin CFS also supported the rally.

Helen Gramazio from Gerry’s Dublin Meats said she was relieved with the result so far. “It still has to go to the council meeting, but hopefully the outcome will be good,” Mrs Gramazio said.

Mr Champion said he was committed to better hospitals, a strong economy and better schools, with Trade Training Centres at the forefront.

New Child Restraint Laws

Keeping your children safely restrained in motor vehicles New child restraint laws come into effect from July 1, 2010, including a mandatory, size-appropriate restraint system for all children up to the age of seven. This change will reduce the risk of injury caused by the use of unsuitable restraints for a child’s size.

Why are the laws changing?

• South Australia is adopting new, nationally approved changes to the Australian Road Rules.

• Nearly 60 children under 12 years of age are killed or seriously injured on South Australian roads each year.

More than a third of these casualties are just 7 years of age or younger.

• Research also suggests that children are being moved into bigger seats – or are prematurely graduating to seatbelts – when this is not appropriate for their size.

What will the new laws mean?

The new laws will require children: • Up to the age of six months to be restrained in a rear facing child restraint (i.e. infant capsule); • From six months until the age of four to be restrained in either a rear or forward facing child restraint (i.e. child safety seat); • From four years until the age of seven to be restrained in either a forward facing child restraint or booster seat restrained by a correctly adjusted and fastened seatbelt or child safety harness; • Up to four years to be restrained in the rear of the vehicle (where the vehicle has two or more rows of seats); and • Aged between four and seven not to sit in the front seat, unless children under seven already occupy all other seat positions.

Why do the laws refer to age instead of height or weight?

Research indicates that regulations specifying child restraint usage by age rather than by height or weight will result in the smallest number of children being inappropriately restrained. The regulations will also be easier to understand and follow.

Where can you find out more information?

‘Saddled with debt’ – Ramsey

LIBERAL Member for Grey, Rowan Ramsey, said the Labor government’s mismanagement of the Australian economy had left the country “saddled with a staggering $100 billion debt.”

“Julia Gillard’s government is still borrowing $700m a week after massively mismanaging the home insulation program, the green loans program, the computers in schools program and the Julia Gillard memorial halls program,” Mr Ramsey said.

Mr Ramsey maintained health was paramount, along with providing jobs for the youth.

“Locally we need to focus on our water systems, health, the delivery of services to the aged and disabled and school attendance as a real solution to alleviating indigenous and non-indigenous disadvantage,” Mr Ramsey said.

“I will continue to pursue an MRI machine for the region,” he said.

“Clearly Australia cannot afford another three years of mismanagement under a Julia Gillard Labor government.”

Labor’s ‘wasted money’

On the other side of the political boxing ring, Liberal candidate, David Strauss, said while education was undoubtedly important, Labor’s Building Schools for the Future program was “wasted money”.

“There are better ways to provide funding to schools,” he said.

Another of the Liberal party’s main action if elected was to repay the Labor government’s debt and keep the economy a pivital point in society.

“Labor need to stop wasting money,” Mr Strauss said. “We don’t want to see the cost of living spiral out of control,” he said.

Mr Strauss said a health policy for more money to be provided to hospitals, particularly country hospitals was important.

“By giving more money for services at

‘Road safety a concern at Two Wells markets

ABOVE: Shoppers at the market, with the road behind them.

RIGHT: Dimo Pounendis near the market “danger zone” showing a customer crossing the road behind him.

Safety concerns have led District Council of Mallala (DCM) to consider a 25km/h speed limit on Old Port Wakefield road, between Drew street and Canala court, during the Two Wells open air market operation.

The market operates every Saturday from 7am–3pm next to the football oval.

DCM’s strategic infrastructure and planning committee has recommended council request authorisation from the Department for Transport,

Bronte Hewett reports: Energy and Infrastructure to reduce the speed limit, following many anecdotal reports of near miss incidents involving pedestrians.

The market, which has operated for four years, has a designated car park but reports indicate the car park is only used by a few motorists.

Both pedestrians and motorists are allegedly responsible for inappropriate behaviour, resulting in continued

risk to pedestrians.

Local producer and market staff member, Dimo Pounendis said he felt there was a need for the speed reduction.

“I would say 30km/h would be a good speed,” he said.

“There should be general awareness that people need to go slower and look out for pedestrians during the market.”

Mr Pounendis said there were issues with congestion around the market, but mainly during the Two

Help with waste bill Councils spend more than $110 million per year, or 10 per cent of their annual spend on waste management.

Environment and Conservation Minister, Paul Caica, has announced $7.7 million in funding for two projects to help improve waste management and divert more waste from landfill.

This issue, among others such as problematic waste streams, illegal dumping and food organic trials were on the agenda at a Local Government Association (LGA), Zero Waste Forum held at the beginning of the month.

Wakefield Regional Council (WRC) mayor, James Maitland, attended, along with more than 150 people from local government, industry and government agencies.

Mayor Maitland said the forum looked at managing the relatively new phenomenon of e-waste – particularly with the national changeover to digital television broadcast – expected to be a massive and costly task with the collection and disposal of old and unwanted television sets over the next few years.

Local Government Association executive director, Wendy Campana, said waste management was one of the most important of council services to communities and changes in waste management were providing even greater challenges across all involved sectors.

“This forum re-emphasised the need for councils and State government agencies such as Zero Waste to work together to achieve the best

outcomes,” Ms Campana said.

But not all was ‘down in the dumps’ as South Australia is said to have decreased its total waste generated in the past year and the amount sent to landfill continues to drop.

Mr Caica said it was at its lowest level in the past six years despite South Australia’s population increasing to 1.622 million in 2008/09.

On average each South Australian recycles 1,573kg of waste per year, which is one of the best rates in the country.

“Recycling is improving South Australia’s sustainability by saving energy, conserving resources and reducing emissions of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere,” Mr Caica said.

Wells football and netball home games.

“I don’t know whether the speed limit would need to be changed when there is no football,” he said.

While he said he had not seen any accidents, Mr Pounedis believed the speed should be reduced for the interest of the people.

Council believes road safety at the market site should be reviewed prior to requesting expressions of interest to operate the market for the next three years.

A letter to the Editor on page 2 of the Plains Producer of the July 14 edition, entitled ‘Comment was on the nose’ needs clarification.

The content of the letter referred to an earlier article (July 7, Page 4) which attributed certain comments to councillor Avon Hudson, of Wakefield Regional Council.

These comments contained the phrase .... “It took 18 months to get the parking space there so people should keep their nose out of it. It’s working well,” he said.

Whilst not incorrect, this gave the impression Cr Hudson was referring to “people” – as in the general public.

This was not so.

Cr Hudson points out he was referring to another councillor during debate in the council chamber and at no stage meant to infer it was the public “who should keep their nose out of it.”

The Plains Producer apologises to Cr Hudson and the writer of the letter for creating a misconception.

Recycle and win with ‘Adopt-a-Town’ WAKEFIELD region’s Adopt-a-Town scheme is going to greater lengths to help support the small fire-devastated rural community of Callignee, affected by the Victorian bushfires last February.

Recently Adopt-a-Town received a grant for $3000 from the Keep Australia Beautiful program.

The grant was awarded by the Keep Australia Beautiful program, funded by the Coca-Cola Foundation.

KESAB environmental solutions selected the Adopt-a-Town committee project to receive the grant, along with three other South Australian local community projects. The funding will assist in promoting recycling in the area and encouraging families, schools, businesses and sporting clubs to donate all or part of their money received through can recycling so the funds can be distributed to Callignee.

“South Australia’s Zero Waste policy and strong commitment to recycling embraces all layers of the community activities and events,” John Phillips, executive director of KESAB said.

“Significant volumes of waste are created during large public events and much of it can be re-used and recycled as we recognise waste is a valuable resource underpinning environmental PROMOTING the poster competition in Balaklava are (from left) YP Recycling's sustainability practices,” he said.

Week, which kicks off on Monday August 23.

The theme this year is to encourage people to recycle their empty beverage containers.

Adopt-a-Town organiser, Joy Woodroofe, who has worked tirelessly on the project, said: “We are delighted to receive this grant from Keep Australia Beautiful and the Coca-Cola Foundation. It’s a great help to our cause.”

Many Wakefield Regional Council towns have assisted Adopt-a-Town in the past year.

You can help!

Adopt-a-Town organiser, Joy Woodroofe, has great plans to put the $3000 grant to good use with two projects for community members across the Wakefield Plains area to get involved in.

Adopt-a-Town is going environmentallyfriendly with its latest project to raise $5000, which means 50,000 cans need to be recycled in the next six months – and they are asking for your help!

“We are encouraging everyone in the Wakefield Regional Council area to support our Cans for Callignee project,” Mrs Woodroofe said.

The committee wants to donate $5000 to go towards helping rebuild Callignee Hall which was destroyed by the Victorian fires of 2009 and help with building a new community shed.

Funds may also allow Callignee locals to buy equipment for the new facilities.

Adopt-a-Town is asking all sporting clubs, schools, hotels, cafes and other businesses to allocate a period where money for cans and bottles collected be donated to this project.

Poster & colouring COMP: Another project to get students across Wakefield Plains high schools and primary schools excited is a poster competition. It should be A4 size and include the Adopt-a-Town logo, Keep Australia Beautiful and Coca-Cola logos, Can the Man (the mascot for the project) and the words Recycle for Callignee.

Posters should be colourful, informative and eye-catching so they will encourage people when they take their cans and bottles to their local recycling depot to donate all or part of the money received to Adopt-a-Town’s Cans for Community project.

High school students will be eligible to enter the poster competition with $50 prize money.

The winning entry will have their poster mass printed and distributed to all towns within the WRC area.

Primary school students will be eligible to enter the colouring in competition (AT LEFT).

Three categories: Reception - 2; 3-5; 6-7. Each category winner will receive $20 prize money.

• Students can download the COLOURINGIN FORM from the Plains Producer website, www.plainsproducer.com.au The competitions run for three weeks and entries need to be dropped into the Plains Producer at Balaklava or posted to Joy Woodroofe, PO BOX 17, Owen SA 5460 by Friday, August 13.

Ruth Borman to adjudicate for our weekend of music

Opera star at Eisteddfod Balaklava Eisteddfod is already living up to expectations of being bigger and better by taking judging worldwide.

International opera singer Ruth Borman will be the adjudicator for the Adelaide Plains Male Voice Choir scholarship prize this year.

Ruth Borman has performed opera and musical comedy in America, Canada and Europe, and has a long list of achievements.

She chose music over archaeology in her third year at Yale University and went on to complete a Masters Degree in Voice at Yale School of Music.

Musical comedy highlights include Teddy and Alice on Broadway and Anything Goes

Herb levy explained at Virginia

A new statutory levy is being proposed for the Australian herb and spice industry.

Information sessions will be available throughout August for people in the herb and spice industry who may be affected. A session will be held at the Virginia Horticulture Centre on Monday, August 16 at 2pm.

The Australian Herb and Spice Industry Association (AHSIA) is inviting all industry participants to consider and comment on a proposal to fund research fundamental to the industry’s future. Contact Peter McFarlane on 0418 839 836 for more details.

from Lincoln Centre. In Europe, Ruth was an opera soloist for 14 years at the Landestheater, Linz.

She has an incredible musical career and has performed more than 40 roles, including Violetta in La Traviata, Suor Angelica, Desdemona in Otella and all three ladies in The Tales of Hoffman.

With a wide concert repertoire, Ruth has also taught voice extensively, including at St Paul Academy, Theatre an der Wien Studio in Vienna and master classes at Augsburg College in Minneapolis, United States.

Di Spence, well-known local music teacher and former president of Balaklava Eisteddfod

n Thompson Beach residents should have been told, but:

PIRSA report clears rabbit baiting program PIRSA has responded to District Council of Mallala with a report addressing rabbit baiting from St Kilda to Port Parham.

The response investigated a complaint about the use of the chemical pindone for rabbit control at Thompson Beach.

Local resident Lionel Miller allegedly found a dead kangaroo at Thompson Beach, which was believed to have been affected by pindone, after a licensed contractor carried out the baiting program in the area.

PIRSA found in the report to council the baiting program took reasonable and practicable measures to prevent actual or potential harm to human

health and the environment, while also admitting a degree of non-compliance with label instructions.

But DCM councillor Steve Jones, claims information from the investigation contained “many assumptions, which are not part of any investigation.”

He reiterated his original comments that signs should have been put in place warning residents of the baiting.

But the PIRSA report revealed there are no laws requiring this.

“There is no legislation, but it should be commonsense and duty of care to use signage when baiting,” Cr Jones said.

Regional success with environment Councils across the Barossa, Mid North, Flinders and Yorke Peninsula have achieved positive outcomes from a Federal government-funded ‘Caring for our Country’ environmental project.

The project encompasses District Council of Mallala, Wakefield Regional Council and Clare and Gilbert Valleys Council.

A team of environmental project officers were based in each of the 15 councils to provide support around native vegetation management, water, pest, plant and animal control, climate change salinity management, sustainable tourism and recreation.

Achievements included: • Better management planning for about 18,000 km of roadside vegetation management.

• Management and protection of biodiversity at 12 priority sites.

•Environmental planning and activity for about 40 public land, tourism, community, recreation and cemetery reserves.

• More than 40 private land holders and community groups engaged through the project and linked to the Natural Resource Management board.

• Support for the development of 26 storm and wastewater management and reuse projects across the region.

Executive officer for the Central Local Government Region of Councils, Anita Crisp, was pleased with the achievements of the project, despite its short timeframe.

“The project only received grant funding for one year but managed to achieve some pretty significant results in that time, particularly when you consider the collective outcomes over the whole region,” Ms Crisp said.

SAFF pushing for cheaper ‘Mouseoff’ The South Australian Farmers Federation is hoping something can be done to assist farmers whose crops have been devastated by mice.

SAFF president, Peter White, said he was “cautiously optimistic” after a meeting last week with professor Linton Staples, managing director of Animal Control Technologies Australia, producer of “Mouseoff’, the bait used in paddocks by grain farmers.

“There may be the opportunity of delivering a cheaper product, so farmers will be able to save on some of the cost of baiting,” Mr White said.

“We will trial the scheme on Eyre Peninsula and if it’s successful spread it across all of the rural areas suffering from these little devils.

“As part of the process, it will be necessary to estimate how much bait may be required in spring and I am hoping the Eyre Peninsula NRM Board and local agronomists will be able to be involved in providing this estimate.

“Even if a cheaper option can be delivered, farmers will have responsibilities, including being ChemCert accredited and at that time of the year, abiding by withholding periods.”

Plains Producer, Wednesday July 21, 2010

The report criticised Mallala council and the Adelaide Mount Lofty Ranges NRM (AMLNRM) board for not formally notifying residents before the baiting program started.

The report said: “Subsequent objections to the rabbit baiting program at Thompson Beach might have been reduced or averted if Mallala council and/or the AMLR Board had voluntarily consulted with residents, notified neighbours and displayed signs.

“They should be considered for any future pindone baiting programs. The Rabbit Pindone Oat Bait label describes the information currently required.”

Society is the adjudication conveyor on the Eisteddfod committee.

During the last 14 years, Di has developed a list of potential adjudicators, but she was so impressed with Ruth’s vocal performance at a concert of the Messiah in Moonta, that she asked Ruth to adjudicate on Sunday, August 1.

Di is constantly networking in order to become aware of potential adjudicators “As the eisteddfod has grown over the years, so has the role,” Mrs Spence.

Brightwood, located in the vicinity of the Devil’s Garden (between Balaklava and Halbury) was one of the many little schools that once dotted the local landscape.

It opened its doors to students in 1882 and served the community well until 1943.

During that time the school had to be relocated to higher ground because of flood waters.

A “Back to School” was always a notable event and Brightwood was no exception.

A veterinarian is urging pet owners to take precautions to reduce the chances of their pets being stolen.

Dr Mark Perissinotto says thousands of pets go missing every year, causing their families trauma and grief.

“Some recent high profile animal-napping cases include the theft of more than $15,000 worth of snakes from an Ipswich home in Queensland, two macaws from Taronga Zoo and eight monkeys from Symbio Wildlife Park in NSW,” Dr Perissinotto said.

“But our cats, dogs and even common budgies are also the target of thieves, with desperate owners increasingly turning to

Protect your pet from thieves private detectives to help them find their beloved pets.

Dog breeds most likely to be stolen include Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Labradors and Golden Retrievers while cat breeds include Burmese, Persians and Ragdolls.

“The most common reasons pets are stolen are for breeding, monetary gain, fighting potential and custody disputes,” Dr Perissinotto said.

“Try to avoid leaving animals alone in your yard, particularly if they are visible from the street, and the same goes for leaving pets tied up outside shops,

on the backs of utes or in unlocked cars.

“Ensure your pet has a working microchip with up-to-date contact details and a collar identifying that they are microchipped and desexed. Also make sure you have recent photos of your pet for identification purposes.”

Dr Perissinotto said if your pet goes missing, check with neigh-

bours, local vet clinics and shelters first.

“If you think your pet has been stolen, put up posters, distribute flyers, contact local newspapers and spread the word around your neighbourhood,” he said.

“Stealing pets is an offence, so contact the police or consider hiring a dedicated private eye to track down your pet.”

By Lauren Hermon applied to single trucks of hay.

SA joins other hay producing states, Western Australia and Victoria, to allow the transport of the large square bales.

“It’s a great outcome,” said Australian Fodder Industry Association executive officer, Colin Pearce. “(But) we were all saddened to hear of the recent death of Geoff Earle. Over the years, Geoff has worked with AFIA on transport reforms and took a very unselfish industry perspective on many issues to do with hay transport in SA. He will be a loss for the hay industry.”

The new rules, which applied from May 21, allow the day time travel of the nominal 4’x4’x8’ bales on single drop deck semi-trailers up to 2.7m wide.

SA joins other hay producing states, Western Australia and Victoria, to allow for the transport of the large square bales.

Prior to the change, it was technically illegal to transport large square bales using industry practice within South Australia. Machinery dealers selling used large square balers were considering modifying the chambers to produce smaller bales compliant to the old regulations.

Australian Fodder Industry Association (AFIA) and its SA transport committee had been

negotiating with the Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure (DTEI) over the past 18 months. It involved several site visits to hay carriers and hay export plants to help outline the issue to DTEI staff.

Chris Brownlie of Balaklava’s Osctrot Carriers, which primarily carts hay, grain and fertiliser, said the increased measurements to allow for the carting of more hay was on its way to improving hay transporting within the state.

“It’s a good start,” Mr Brownlie said.

“It’s good for farmers who work by themselves and pack and transport hay, but when you need to transport hay in bulk it can be

difficult because we often use B Doubles, road trains and even B Triples,” he said.

While the initial gazette covers only the large square bales, further gazettes are yet to include other bale types including the nominal 4’x3’x8’ and 3’x3’x8’ bales.

The new regulations will be outlined by John Jarrad, project manager, vehicle policy for the State Department of Transport, Energy and Infrastructure, at the National Fodder Conference at the Adelaide Convention Centre on Tuesday, August 10.

For more information on the gazette and code of practice, search for ‘Hay Gazette’ on the DTEI website on www.dtei.sa.gov.au.

Piccolo’s ‘fair go’ farm machinery report now on Federal stage Calls for improved consumer rights for farmers when seeking ways to resolve issues over failed machinery and equipment was recently made by local MPs. Federal MP for Wakefield, Nick Champion, backed the call by State Light MP, Tony Piccolo who initiated the establishment of an inquiry by the Economic and Finance Committee of State Parliament.

Mr Piccolo said the inquiry clearly highlighted the plight of farmers when machinery and equipment fails.

First-hand accounts of the difficulties farmers face was carried out by Federal Agriculture Minister, Tony Burke, who visited local farmers at the start of July.

“As a seasonally-based industry, the failure of machinery and equipment could have dire

financial implications for farmers,” Mr Piccolo said.

Mr Champion recently led a delegation of local farmers to Canberra to meet the Federal Minister for Competition Policy and Consumer Affairs and Minister for Small Business MP, Dr Craig Emerson.

Mr Champion said farmers often lacked the financial resources to take on the multi-national

companies to obtain justice. “We need to look at the federal laws to see if we can create a fairer playing field when it comes to dispute resolutions and litigating,” Mr Champion said.

He highlighted issues raised in the SA Parliament report, Consumer Rights for Farmers: Reaping a Fair Harvest that found widespread warranty and safety issues existed in the agricultural sector.

NEWS v Two Wells & Mallala

Who’s a pretty boy?

Benefit in change

BarossA and Districts Housing Association (BDHA) has taken over management of Mallala’s aged care units at Dunstan court.

Formerly managed by District Council of Mallala, residents of the council-owned fully-self contained units will now receive all maintenance through BDHA. DCM’s community development officer, Lynette Seccafien, said the arrangement would benefit residents because property management was BDHA’s core business, whereas it was not council’s prime service.

BDHA is a community based, not-for-profit organisation which manages more than 68 properties in the Barossa and mid-north. It provides housing with a focus on youth, families, aged and people with disabilities.

IT was the long and short of things at Adelaide Plains Kennel and Obedience Dog club show at Two Wells last Saturday. Patricia Jacques, of Warradale, is pictured with her Australian champion Great Dane, Calibre and at the other end of the dog scale is Gwynson Supersonic – or Minty – the toy Poodle, also an Australian champion, shown by Gwyn Wilson, of Gwynson Kennels, Elizabeth Downs.

Oval plans

Mallala Lion’s Club has been working with District Council of Mallala to develop plans to improve camping facilities at Mallala Oval.

The strategic infrastructure and planning committee has recommended council work with the Lion’s Club to establish the most cost-effective solution.

An investigation will determine whether it is better to install a new toilet/shower block near the current camping spot or to redevelop the current toilet block with the possibility of allowing caravan parking closer to the amenities.

n RSL vice president, John Atherton shows off the newly paved area.

Paving the way for RSL upgrade Two Wells RSL Club has had a face-lift with the completion of a paved backyard area.

The $5000 project was finalised last week just in time for the club’s Christmas in July celebrations on Friday night.

President Tony Flaherty said the club hoped to develop the area further, with a pergola and outdoor entertainment area.

Funds for the project were raised through raffles and donations.

“The paving is a huge

improvement. It used to be gravel like the car park next door,” Mr Flaherty said.

The RSL concert last Saturday night, July 17, raised another $5000 for the club, which will go towards paving of the war memorial in Two Wells.

Potential young ‘guns’ learn how Balaklava High School hosted their annual ‘Learn to Shear’ day on Friday, June 25 with eight students taking part.

Well-known local shearer Daryl Andriske instructed the group as they spent the day shear-

ing the school’s ewes and learning about shearing, shed-handing and the wool industry.

This year there was even a female participant, Hannah Hoepner as well as Canadian exchange PE teacher Jason Kawa.

Hannah showed great technique and had a patient temperament with the sheep.

Mr Kawa experienced another Australian industry before his return to Canada in the coming weeks.

Waite bio funding

Australia’s crop and food industries will benefit from a new $31 million biotechnology Centre of Excellence to be headquartered at the University of Adelaide’s Waite Campus.

The University was last week awarded $19.25 million in Federal funding from the Australian Research Council (ARC), with an additional $12 million of support from partner institutions.

The University’s new ARC Centre of Excellence in Plant Cell Wall Biology will build an international team of researchers with strong industry links. It involves collaboration with the universities of Melbourne and Queensland, and with major research institutions and industry partners in Australia, Scotland, Sweden, Germany and the United States.

Director is Professor Geoff Fincher, who has many years of experience in agricultural and biotechnology research.

World weather prompts Viterra to lift wheat pool THE Target Pool Return for Viterra’s Pre-Harvest Wheat Pool has increased by a further $8/mt to $270/mt, as a result of recent changes in market conditions. The recent rally in the US futures market has contributed to the lifting of the Target Pool Return.

The USDA report on June 30 highlighted concerns with the US corn crop and sparked a cross commodity rally. It has since emerged

there are concerns in regard to world wheat export supplies due to ongoing weather issues across the northern hemisphere, particularly in the former Soviet Union and the European Union.

While there has been a lift in the Australian dollar-US dollar rate since the last update, which has negated the overall gains, prudent hedging has allowed the pool to pass

some of the global price rally back to pool participants.

The Viterra Pre-Harvest Wheat Pool offers growers two additional features this year – the opportunity to take out a cash advance on pool payments in October and the flexibility to halve the nominated tonnage to the pool in the advent of crop failure with no cost penalty.

owners. Bob restored it about one year before he died six years ago.

The car was initially bought secondhand in the 1960s from Gawler by Balaklava farmer Jim Quinlan.

The ute stayed in Mr Quinlan’s family, with his son-in-law, wellknown Balaklava painter Darcy Treverton the third owner, using it in his business.

Frank Kiely, of Balaklava was the fourth owner, before he sold it to Bob during the Walker ownership of the Balaklava Ford dealership, between 1952 and 1989.

John said it took between 15 and 18 months for his father to restore the car and while it was not registered at the moment, there was no reason it couldn’t happen.

“It’s roadworthy and ready to go if I wanted to register it tomorrow,” John said. “I’ve put it in a few shows but otherwise it stays in the shed.”

A lot can change in 50 years when it comes to Ford Falcons.

And the 1960 Ford XK ute of Balaklava’s John Walker is just the car to show how the Falcon range of vehicles has changed since the brand was launched 50 years ago.

The ute would have been the pride and joy of its new owner back in 1960 – but as you can see, its is easily outgunned when compared to the new 2010 version.

It has a 2.4 litre engine and a 67 kilowatt power output compared to the 2010 model, with a 4.0 litre engine and massive 195 kilowatts of power.

Not to mention the new model’s six speed transmission compared to the 1960’s three-speed column gearbox.

The car was bought by John’s late father, Bob about 15–20 years ago, making the Walker family the fifth

Get the ANCAP answers

South Australian motorists will now benefit from a new Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) website, offering better access to important car safety information, using the national star-rating system (see report below).

The Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure road safety director, Martin Small said the new website, www. ancap.com.au would provide motorists with simple, easy to access information about car safety.

“This new ANCAP site provides simplified information about the car testing process and vehicle safety, along with a sophisticated search tool,” he said.

“It will be much easier for motorists to compare safety ratings and features of new car models.”

“The website will also provide further information about how ANCAP works and the protocols the program follows when conducting crash tests.”

A full list of ANCAP’s vehicle safety ratings and other vehicle safety information is available on www.ancap.com.au.

Finding a safe car ANCAP awards a star rating from one to five for each vehicle following independent crash tests by independent specialist laboratories.

New vehicles are awarded or deducted points based on a combination of test categories and scientific criteria. All vehicles are assessed under identical testings standards and conditions.

In all tests, dummies are used to measure the various forces on the occupants in a crash. The data gathered is then assessed, using internationally- recognised protocols and star-ratings are determined for each crash test.

Observations are also made on the displacement of dummies during the crash, as well as the structural impact on the vehicle’s occupant compartment.

BattEries

Points are also awarded if the vehicle is fitted with safety features such as Antilock Braking System (ABS) Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and seat belt reminders.

To achieve an ANCAP Five Star rating, a vehicle must achieve the highest international recognised standards in all test categories. The more stars, the better.

Occupants have twice the chance of being killed or seriously injured in an ANCAP One Star rated vehicle compared to an ANCAP Five Star rated vehicle.

Every 15 minutes, someone in Australia and New Zealand is killed or seriously injured in a motor vehicle crash – that’s 35,000 adults and children every year.

ing, about five people per day still die each year on the roads.

ANCAP Chair, Lauchlan McIntosh, said around one fifth of all road deaths involved occupants not wearing seat belts.

Mr McIntosh said a seat belt reminder system in a car was a very important safety feature. He urged buyers to look at all features listed on the ANCAP web site to make an informed decision on safety when buying a new car.

For a full list of ANCAP’s vehicle safety ratings, including commercial vehicles, and other vehicle safety information, go to www.ancap.com.au.

ANCAP is supported by all Australian and New Zealand motoring clubs, all Australian state governments and insurance organisations.

special feature v KEEPING FIT & HEALTHY

Take that first step

In the last South Australian Physical Activity Survey it was found half the adult community was not sufficiently active to keep healthy. Across all age groups physical activity levels are declining.

Reduced or no physical activity can have serious health consequences, leading to chronic diseases and conditions.

Regular physical activity can help prevent heart disease and stroke, type two diabetes and prostate and breast cancer, improve blood pressure, cholesterol levels and aerobic fitness, improve sleep, lower stress and anxiety levels and reduce feelings of depression All South Australians can enjoy the benefits of being physically active. There are many simple, enjoyable and inexpensive ways to increase your level of physical activity.

Even walking the dog is good for you! For more information go

to www.beactive.com.au But you should get started on some regular physical activity today, combine it with healthy eating and you’ll be on the path to a healthier, happier you!

4 Here’s an easy guide consisiting of just four steps for better health.

Together, steps 1-3 recommend the minimum amount of physical activity you need to do to enhance your health. They are not intended for high-level fitness, sports training or weight loss. To achieve best results, try to carry out all three steps and combine an active lifestyle with healthy eating.

Step four is for those who are able, and want to achieve greater health and fitness benefits.

Step 1 – Think of movement as an opportunity, not an inconvenience where any form of movement of the body is seen as an opportunity for improving health, not as a time-wasting

inconvenience.

Step 2 – Be active every day in as many ways as you can. Make a habit of walking or cycling instead of using the car, or do things yourself instead of using labour-saving machines.

Step 3 – Put together at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity on most, preferably all, days.

You can accumulate your 30 minutes (or more) throughout the day by combining a few shorter sessions of activity of about 10 to 15 minutes each.

Step 4 – If you can, also enjoy some regular, vigorous activity for extra health and fitness This step does not replace steps 1-3. Rather it adds an extra level for those who are able, and wish, to achieve greater health and fitness benefits.

Further information is at www. health.gov.au.

PENNY Mathew, of Happy Hearts Fitness at Mallala caters for everyone - “‘Young or old, male or female, fit or unfit…come and enjoy working out locally with friends. With different programs each week you’ll get variety with your workouts. If you want to lose weight through regular weigh-ins and measuring, get fit, or stay fit we have programs to suit. Your first visit is free, so come and play!”

Get fit on two wheels

Cycling has many health benefits that can be built into your everyday life. As little as 30 minutes of moderate exercise a day can help improve and maintain good health, also reducing the risk of chronic health conditions.

It is also a great mode of transport that helps improve the environment by reducing the use of motor cars. You can get to know your local community by

cycling to local shops, parks and much more.

There are many social benefits including meeting new friends by joining cycling groups or attending cycling rides, particularly on the Riesling and Rattler trails in the nearby Clare and Gilbert valleys.

Get fit gradually: 4 Start easy and build up slowly, trying to increase your longest distance by about 10 – 20

per cent each week until you reach your goal.

4 As it gets easier, challenge yourself to gradually go longer, faster or include more hills.

4 Don’t forget to drink plenty of water before, during and after the ride.

4 Have a good stretch before and after each ride. If you are training for an event, ease off the workload in the two weeks.

Starting out: Your 4-week cycling guide minute ride on Wednesday. On Saturday build up to about 45 minutes at a pace you can handle.

Include Active Living choices on the other days and give yourself a rest day on Friday.

4 Week one:

Start with an easy 10 minute ride on Monday over flat terrain, followed by an easy 15-minute ride on Wednesday, building up to a longer ride on Saturday of about half an hour. On Tuesday and Thursday choose another activity for 30 minutes and have a rest day on Friday. On Sunday plan some easy paced “active living”. Maybe take a walk!

4 Week three:

Start with an easy 30-minute recovery ride on Monday. Pick up the pace a bit on Wednesday including some gentle hills in low gear. On Saturday aim to extend your distance from last week, riding up to an hour.

Have short rest breaks if you need them. Include Active Living sessions on the other days but have a rest day on Friday.

4 Week two:

YOUNG Jarrad Kibbler keeps active by riding his bike to and from Balaklava Primary School every day.

Pedal Your Way to Fitness

Win for Adelaide Plains boys in youth championships

By Peter Argent Adelaide Plains Football League talents, Mallala’s Will Farrelly, Virginia’s Mark Nykamp and Balaklava’s Luke Guy were members of the victorious Woodville-West Torrens under 17 Youth Championships side last week, July 13-15.

Farrelly was the side’s first ruck throughout the three day carnival, while Guy was used in attack.

The Mallala big man was among the best players in the opening game and second best in the win over Glenelg, while Guy kicked a goal in the thriller over the Magpies. This side finished the tournament undefeated, collecting their initial division one crown. The Eagles talent manager Shane Grimm thought the Youth Championship was a great opportunity for footballers to get a taste of football through the grades at SANFL level.

In the first game on Tuesday at Home Brothers (Unley) Oval in modest conditions, the Eagles had a 25-point win over the Double Blues. On Wednesday at Woodville Oval, the Eagles had a thrilling one-point victory over Port Adelaide.

Needing a third victory on Thursday to secure the championships, Woodville West Torrens was out

of the blocks quickly and had a solid 28-point lead at the main break.

“In the last game we got up by just over three goals, but had reasonable control of the contest” coach Darren Hams said.

“I was really pleased with how the group came together and how the lads got back into Wednesday’s game after being 3.3 to zip down at the first break.

“Will was an important member of the side and produced his best effort on Thursday.

“For a big lad he gets into the right spots and reads the football pretty well.

“He has strong hands and his skills are solid at ground level.

“It is fair to say he dominated the ruck tapouts.

“If he works on his fitness, his ruck work and mobility around the ground will develop even further.

“Will’s a pretty relaxed character.

Hams described Guy as a versatile forward and Nykamp as predominately a midfielder who could be used at both ends of the ground.

“Luke can play both as a tall and a small in attack,” Hams said “He’s good team orientated footballer whose

best role is as a lead up forward.

“Mark injured his elbow in one game, but is pretty durable.

“Without being outstanding he was solid all tournament and is a tough kid.

“The boys all worked hard and gelled well together and the end result justifies the dedication of the group.”

Interestingly, a number of AFL footballers including Mark Jamar (North), Byron Schammer (West), Jared Rivers (North), Jay Schultz (Eagles) Ryan Griffen (South), Ryan Gamble (Glenelg) and Brodie Martin (Sturt) have followed this pathway to the top level.

WILLIAM Farrelly (left) was among best players and Mark Nykamp (right) was also a key performer in the victorious Woodville-West Torrens under 17 side. INSET: Luke Guy in action.

Hamley Bridge’s 1960 premiership glory was relived last Saturday night, with a reunion for the team at Hamley Bridge club rooms.

There were about 12 members of the winning team in attendance. Some have sadly passed away.

Captain/coach from those days, Garry Ireland drove over from Perth for the occasion.

20 www.plainsproducer.com.au

Before theAgrade game a few old players spoke to the current team members about what it was like back in 1960.

A few funny stories were told, such as the normal protocol back then, which was to have a smoke and a sip from your hip flask at the breaks.

The club hosted a meet and greet evening, with each player introduced to former members of the club. Many stories were shared

and the stories grew as the night went on.

The club also held its Goods and Services Auction, which the 1960 side happily got involved in.

One highlight of the night was hearing that some of the players had not seen each other since the grand final in 1960.

Special thanks were extended to Newton and Sue Lines for hunting down and making contact with the past players.

One kick away from glory

By Peter Argent Four Adelaide Plains talents – Balaklava’s Josh Butterfield, Two Wells lad Shannon Slattery, along with Mallala pair Dylan Kearns and Jake Birchmore – were members of the Woodville-West Torrens (W-WT) under 15s side, which fell agonizingly short of championships glory last Friday night, July 16.

The side went down to North Adelaide by a mere three points in the grand final clash.

As a curtain raiser to the Geelong versus Crows match at AMMI Stadium, this grand final was a most thrilling affair.

“Losing the grand final by three points was ultimately very frustrating,” Eagles under 15s coach Richard Crewdson said.

“On reflection, we didn’t take our chances.

“After a slow start in the final where North kicked the first three goals of the game, we were in charge of most of the remainder of the contest.

“It was just one of those times where opportunities were missed.

“Naturally the boys were pretty shattered after the game.”

The young Eagles side started their under 15 campaign last Tuesday with a 12 point win over the Double Blues, and this was followed by a win over the Port Adelaide Magpies by 33 points at Woodville Oval.

The finish to the round robin section, Crewdson’s troops beat Glenelg in a heart-stopper by six points at Gliderol Stadium which earned then top position in their division, assigning this side to a clash with Norwood in Friday’s semi final at City Mazda Stadium.

Tested early in the semi final, the Woodville-West Torrens outfit controlled the majority of the remainder of their clash against the Redlegs.

They went on to win the match by 39 points and set up a grand final clash with the neighbouring North Adelaide side.

“Jake (Birchmore) was one of our leading avenues to goal during the week,” Crewdson said.

“His best effort was a five-goal haul against Sturt.

“This entire group had impact at different stages during the titles.”

The only time the Eagles have won this championship in its 30-year history was back in 1997.

‘Pies outclass Eagles Mallala started well, kicking with the aid of a four goal wind, and if not for inaccurate kicking, could have had a match-winning score by quarter time.

The Magpies worked hard, scoring their fifth goal before Joe Hunt scored Hummocks’ first goal, with great assistance from Ben Manners.

Just prior to the half-time break, Ryan Reid left the ground with an elbow injury.

In the third quarter, Hummocks fought hard to hold Mallala to one goal, while scoring one goal into the wind themselves.

MITCHELL Daniel, Balaklava runs along the boundary line, followed closely by Ram Ash Nicholas during the reserves match at Virginia on Saturday.

Mallala 12-14 (86) d H W Eagles 7-8 (50) Mallala killed off any hope of an unlikely Hummocks victory in the final quarter by kicking the first three goals.

Hummocks put some respectability on the scoreboard, kicking two more goals.

Mallala deserved the win, displaying a consistent performance across the ground, and were always

running in numbers.

One downside of the game was the frequent use of foul language on the field.

Better players for Mallala were Ryan Montgomerie, Jason Earl and Christian Rimmer.

For Hummocks, Joe Hunt with five goals, Simon Schutz and Travis Sharpe were best.

Mallala puts pressure on to win by 16 points Junior Colts

The game started in fine but dewy conditions with the Eagles kicking to the southern end with a two goal breeze, but it was Mallala doing most of the attacking and playing a lot better football than the young Eagles side.

With the aid of the wind which was getting a little stronger, Mallala started the second quarter well, getting the ball out of the centre putting pressure on the Eagles’ back lines.

If Mallala had kicked

Mallala 6-5 (41) d H W Eagles 3-7 (25) straight, the score line would have been larger.

The third quarter was the best quarter from both sides, with both teams playing good attacking football but the Eagles couldn’t put the score on the board, kicking 2-3 for the quarter.

With the wind at their backs, Mallala started to get on top of the Eagles,

kicking two quick goals to make sure they weren’t going to lose this game like they did the last time they played.

In the end, they played more direct footy and used the ball a lot better than the Eagles.

Final score: H W Eagles 3-7 (25) lost to Mallala 6-5 (41).

Two Wells must keep the pressure on • From back page Both were injured through Two Wells lean month of June.

Late June recruit Alf Steed is assuming a leadership role in the Roosters’ midfield, and starting to really click with his team mates.

Paul Christofis seems to be getting better each week, now looking to be a qualified replacement for last season’s APFL leading goal-kicker Wally Hand, who left the club in the off-season.

Their host Hamley Bridge has unfortunately suffered another long season. Unless the Bombers can muster a win against United at home in a fortnight’s time (and it will need to be a big one), they will collect yet another wooden spoon in what has been a tough four year period for the 2004 APFL premiers.

I have mentioned that things are looking up for the Bombers post 2010, however coach Rian Nelson will have to keep the motivation up for his side in the run home, as it’s likely to become a whipping boy for teams inside the top four – who all know percentage could determine their respective finals places.

The ever-green Tom Smith, recruits Dylan Lockwood and Craig Allen and local ardent performers in Stuart Gregory, Justin Schahinger and Luke Slok give their all each week for Hamley.

Lets hope they can finish another tough year strongly and in a positive frame of mind in preparation for 2011.

Balaklava v HWE

These matches need no extra build up, as it seldom matters what ladder positions the Peckers and Eagles occupy given no-one takes

My Call n Kym Jarman previews round 14 football matches a backward step when these two sides meet.

The fact that both are currently tied in second place on the ladder, and both are coming off losses last week, just makes the mouth water even more.

The Eagles have been buoyed in recent weeks by the return of Joe Hunt (17 goals in last three games), however last week against Mallala they missed the midfield combination of ruckman Sean Light and follower David Barnes.

APFL rep player Ryan Reid also left the field last weekend for an extended time, which didn’t help their cause when you consider Andy Hunt, Tim Forrest and Ash Lockwood were also missing.

While Shaun Light is currently a week-to-week proposition after copping a poke in the eye against United, the Eagles are likely to regain Barnes for their important clash agsinst the Peckers – and word from Eagles president and current ‘caretaker’ coach Harry Taylor is that Reid should also be fine.

Whoever wins this game will be in the box seat to finish the minor round in second place.

Home side Balaklava have been somewhat of a surprise packet this season.

After missing the finals in 2009, a win this week would be a huge feather in coach Stuart

Lamond’s cap, given the above scenario would mean they are well poised for a 2010 double chance.

We talk about the likes of Hayden Walker and Ben Catford quite often. While Walker leads the way for the Peckers, it’s players like Derek Friedrichs, Todd McPharlin and Justin Michael that have had very consistent seasons so far in 2010. Recruit Aaron Curtis has been handy, while youngsters Jonathon Brice and Kane Ruiz have had breakout seasons in 2010.

With the Peckers’good mix of youth and experience, plus playing coach Stuart Lamond having plenty left in the tank for the latter part of the year, Balaklava could really set themselves up starting with a win this weekend.

If Light doesn’t play for the Eagles, Balaklava also already take a huge advantage into this one. At home, they are a good thing.

United v Virginia

Given the importance of a win this week for the Virginia Rams, I can’t see them dropping this game.

Unfortunately for the Tigers, last week’s loss at historic Two Wells spelt the end of their 2010 campiagn. Although the Tigers have endured a difficult year, they have blooded some youth and a few young players have made names for themselves as A grade footballers thus far.

John Crosbie has come from senior colts last season to become a regular A grade player for United, Dylan Carter in his second season continues to improve while Matt Pascoe (formerly Balaklava) and Jack

Chapman (formerly Mallala) have cemented A grade spots after being given a fresh start this season at the Tigers.

All these players will be better for the experience they have gained this season.

Between now and August 21, United coach Travis Opitz can try a few things at United.

It is likely that returning juniors James Abberley and Josh Tynan could be recalled to A grade duties before too long, and no doubt senior colts Jakob Curnow and Ross Sharer are now presented with opportunity and should also benefit as the Tigers look towards 2011 and beyond.

Virginia, on the other hand, are looking firmly at the 2010 finals series!

Currently fourth on the ladder, the Rams have their sights set on their second finals appearance in as many years and are in red hot form coming off two straight wins against sides which, before meeting the Rams, were placed first and second on the APFL ladder.

With a gun midfield and the 2010 APFL leading goal-kicker working well in recent weeks, the Rams are a serious chance to finish top two if they can make every post a winner from here on.

The return of Adrian Mark in defence a fortnight ago has probably been the difference. His return match was against Mallala, and certainly his match-winning mark last weekend saved the day against the Peckers. We of course all saw how influential his play was in 2009 before he made his way out to Central District in the 2010 pre-season.

The Rams will win this one easy!

Rams knock Peckers off their perch Virginia 10-9 (69) defeated Balaklava 10-5 (65).

Round 13’s upset has come at the hands of Balaklava, with third placed Peckers getting knocked off by fourth placed Virginia in a nail biter.

Rams’ centre half back Adrian Mark saved the day in the dying stages of the match with a defensive mark, following a last quarter, three goal effort from Rams full forward Brendon Niklaus.

The powerful forward kicked six for the game, including a 75 metre long bomb, which even surprised coach Greg Phillips.

But Christian Dorwood’s effort as only ruck all game was what helped secure the Rams’ hard-fought victory.

Phillips said it was pleasing to back up last week’s good win against Mallala.

Hayden Walker again performed well for the Peckers with consistent and solid form in the ruck.

Virginia clearances were strong all game, with the first half dominated by the Ram midfield.

But Pecker mid fielders Shane Farley and Ben Catford stepped up in the second half and played a more dominant role.

Balaklava were a goal up at three quarter time, but couldn’t hold on to it in the last five minutes of the game, when Niklaus unleashed the quick run of goals. Troy Wilkey and Caleb Howell again were influential in Virginia’s midfield.

Mallala 12-14 (86) defeated Hummocks Watchman 7-8( 50).

The Mallala side has quite comfortably accounted for second placed Hummocks-

Round 13 in review n Bronte Hewett reviews round 13 football matches

Watchman with a 36 point victory.

Coming of their first defeat last week, the Magpies started well with the aid of the wind, kicking out to a four-goal lead.

With consistent form all game, the Magpies ran in numbers and earned the win.

Mallala’s fifth goal came just before Joe Hunt kicked the Eagles’ first during the second quarter, with great assistance from Ben Manners.

The Eagles suffered with the loss of Ryan Reid to an elbow injury prior to half time.

They worked hard to keep the Magpies to one goal in the third term, while managing to boot one goal into the wind.

Mallala killed off any hope of an unlikely Hummocks victory, by kicking the first three goals of the final term.

But the Eagles put some respectability on the scoreboard by kicking two more goals.

Hunt was responsible for more than half of the Eagles’ score with a five goal effort.

James Wildbore was Mallala’s consistent runner on the wings, while he was well-supported by regular performers Joel Montgomerie and Jason Earl.

Two Wells 17-16 (118) defeated United 6-8 (44).

The Roosters were able to showcase some fast-paced football on Saturday, in an easy

74 point win over the United Tigers.

United held the lead by two goals at the first break, with the Roosters getting off to a shaky start.

Two Wells were able to resurrect their game in the second quarter with the aid of the wind, kicking four goals to the Tigers’ none.

Ball movement was fast for the Roosters, with Alfie Steed and Christian Nurton disposing well across the ground and into the forward lines.

The second half saw the Roosters combine well as a team setting up an eleven goal onslaught, with Paul Christofis again a strong option in the forward lines and Lee Allmond his skilful self.

Adding to the mix was the speed and dynamics of the Leighton brothers – Khan and Tallan – the leadership of Alfie Steed and valiant efforts from Ben Stubing and Bryce Hart.

The Tigers were left goaless in the final term, despite the hard work of Adrian Mills and Matt Dickie, who were the Tigers’ key performers on the day.

Peter Burgoyne tried his hand in the midfield but his speed and skills were often cut short with few clear disposal under the Rooster pressure and Tigers’ lack of options.

Two goal efforts from Brett Sharman and Jamie McArdle were not enough for the Tigers to overcome the Rooster’s evasive work rate.

Christofis finished with five goals, Allmond with four and Steed and Lachy Franklin with two each.

Cats get home despite poor kicking Round 12 in review

By Peter Argent In total control from the outset, the potent Cats, as expected, dominated the game against Brinkworth-SpaldingRedhill at Blyth Oval on Saturday, winning by a massive 92-point margin.

Kicking 8-3 in the opening term toward the paddock (southern) end of the ground, while keeping the Tigers scoreless set up this percentage boosting win.

By the second quarter the intensity had already dropped out of the contest, and Blyth-Snowtown increased their 51point quarter time lead by just one behind.

With five goals in the third the lead increased to 70 points, but it should have been more, except for the Cats’ inaccuracy.

“We won the toss and kicked eight goals with a three to four goal breeze in the opening term,” Brett Ireland, BlythSnowtown’s coach explained.

“We controlled the match early and it was over as a contest by quarter time.

“BSR had a real crack in the second and third term.

“We changed things

up a bit at the last break and the players responded.

“Scott Atkinson went from the wing up forward, Gareth Ottens went to centre half forward from the key defensive role and we threw the group around a bit.”

Blyth-Snowtown’s on-ball contingent was again superb, totally controlling the stoppages.

High possession ball winner Nick McCormack, Glen Hayes, James Taylor, 2009 Mail Medallist Ryan Darling and Scott Atkinson were all exquisite.

Gareth Ottens’ superb season as a dashing defender continued with another stellar effort in this match.

Among 10 goal kickers, the trio of Atkinson, Shay Clifford and James Taylor kicked three goals each, while the younger McCormack sibling, Nick, big Ben Moffatt, Matt Collins and Brad Bell each kicked a pair.

“Along with the players mentioned in our best player lists, Brad Bell and Simon McCormack could be considered unlucky they didn’t get a mention,” Ireland said.

“Benny Moffatt also started well for us.”

Craig Weckert was best for the Tigers, followed by Leigh Fuller and big man Alex Smart.

Defender Paul Jones didn’t have his colours lowered, while key position player David Smith had his moments.

Mintaro-Manoora’s defeat of the RSMU Hawks has also helped the Cats, as they are now on the top of the NEFL premiership ladder.

Strong win for South over the Roosters On the Golden Anniversary celebration weekend in Clare to commemorate 50 years of the two clubs in this town, South’s seven goal second quarter set up a strong 44-point win over

the Roosters.

North Clare came back in the third term and 17 points separated the sides at lemons, but a further five goals to one in the last sealed an important victory for the Demons.

Athletic and high marking key forward Michael Lieblet kicked seven goals in attack, but he was only third best behind the versatile Daniel Kundht and Brodie Murphy.

Matt Thomas was the best defender in the contest, while noted big game player Andrew Vandeleur won a large amount of possessions.

Matt Ward was the Roosters’ best followed by the adaptable Tyson Pawley, with Mail Medal favourite Craig Jaeschke

and big man Nick Prokopec being solid contributors. Pawley kicked three goals, and Jaeschke finished with two from the mid field for North.

Liebelt and fellow key forward the returning Ben Seymon kicked 10 goals between them, with the latter finishing with three in a handy effort.

Rams back in winners circle After two successive huge losses, the BBH Rams returned to the winners’ circle, but weren’t convincing against the winless Southern Saints after the main break.

The reigning premiers were out of the blocks early, and kicked the only five goals of the first term and leading by 28 at the

first break.

This was increased to 38 at the long interval, but after this the game was pretty even.

Captain this year Casey Copper was inspirational, while both Riggs cousins, young Lachlan at centre half forward and Tom in the middle, were strong contributors.

Marcus Hall won plenty of possessions, while Aaron Spicer was the best big man in the contest and Nick Jackman continues his stellar season.

Sharp shooter Boh Wall kicked a match high three goals, while David Reed, long term defender Tim Crick and Tom Whittlesea kicked a brace.

Jake Pfitzner was Eudunda-Robertstown’s best player, followed by former Mid Murray Mail medallist Micha Mueller and state country representative a few years back Jordan Kotz.

Evergreen veteran Stephen Geister contributed all afternoon, and youngster Kip Dunstan and Gabe Laucke played with passion and desire.

Recuit for 2010 Justin Trewen kicked two goals for the Saints.

Solid effort rewards Eagles with second spot A six-goal-to-one second term set up the Eagles’ handsome 58point victory over the Hawks at Manoora Oval last Saturday.

This ascendancy continued winning the third and final quarters.

In a strong team effort

by Mintaro-Manoora, Central District premiership player Brad Currie was best on ground, followed by Ricky Piggot and Aaron Bevis.

Brad Bryksy did a great job quelling the influence of James Vandeleur at centre half forward, and Ryan McDermid was industrious

around the stoppages as usual.

Nathan Forrest led the way in attack with four goals, while big Benny Kerslake was impressive with three. Currie and Daniel Fogden kicked two each.

In what the RSMU coach Mick Duncan described as the worst performance by his side this year, he gave out only three best players.

After playing all week at the under 17 Youth Championships, Ben Plueckhahn was seen as the Hawks’ best, tagging and keeping Brad Taylor’s influence to a minimum.

Sam Noack was one of the few clear winners for the vanquished, and Zack Hier was stoic in defence.

The quartet of Jamie Williams, young Patty Clark, Dylan Griffiths and Don Williams all finished with a couple of goals each.

The Eagles are now in second position on the ladder, ahead of RSMU by .14 of one percent.

Ladder leaders in dangerous game this weekend The Round 13 fixtures this weekend have a couple interesting encounters.

North Clare, coming off a loss to South last Saturday hosts Blyth/ Snowtown at Clare Oval.

This is a danger game for the ladder leaders, as George Coles’ troops beat them last round.

The Southern Saints take on South Clare at Eudunda Oval in a game the Demons must win for any faint finals hopes.

Up at Redhill, the BSR Tigers have a clash with Mintaro/Manoora, with the visitors being firm favourites.

Coming off a loss, the RSMU Hawks host BBH Rams at Riverton Oval and will be looking for redemption.

Soup and bread were served outside the clubrooms after nine holes, then the ladies continued and were served a delicious two-course lunch on finishing the course.

Raffles were drawn with the majority taking home a prize.

Thanks were given to Kerry Greenwood and Beth Harkness for sponsoring the day, and to the male and female members of the club who helped on the day.

weekly comment

Local

Signs look good Many growers would have noticed the value of grain going in the right direction over the past few weeks. This is a pleasant change from other seasons when things have started well, only for the prices to fall over and returns for the crop to be disappointing.

The reason prices have strengthened in the past few weeks is due to condition in the northern hemisphere. Too much rain in Canada and hot dry winds through Russia and Europe have challenged their growing season.

The USDA report released on July 9 indicated the world forecast for wheat production is down by 7.5million metric tonnes (mmt). This is on the back of Russia being down 4.5mmt to 53mmt, the EU down by 1.17mmt to 141.8mmt and Canada down 4mmt to 20.5mmt. These figures distracted from China gains, lifting numbers up 2.5mmt to 114.5mmt.

Despite the variations, the international market still came off the day the report was released as a lot of these changes were already factored in to the market.

We anticipate that these variations in production will underpin the market at levels where Australian growers can make money out of growing wheat.

The potential for further gains will be revealed as the season continues, but we are confident now that if levels maintain this upward momentum, it is all good news for Australian growers.

Barley has also increased slightly, but not with the same drive as wheat. The USDA lowered production estimates by 7mmt globally, as Canada, the EU, Russia and Kazakhstan all had their production estimates lowered.

Considering the changes to world grain production, it is not necessarily advisable to stop or change your marketing plan for the coming season on these results.

We have seen in past seasons that prices can fall just as quickly as they increased. However, growers can be marginally confident that the recent rally is backed up by fundamental problems in northern hemisphere grain growing regions.

If you are pricing grain for the coming season, make sure you understand all of the risks before locking into anything and the grade spreads that apply to any contracts that you take out.

GOLF COURSE LAND FOR SALE

It’s a cliché for any area to claim to be ‘… best kept secret.’ But in the case of ‘The Copper Coast’ in South Australia it could not be truer. Just 2 hours drive from Adelaide, through some of the richest cropping land in Australia, lies a little triangle of country towns that hide their historic riches and quiet charm.

A limited number of allotments adjacent to Australia’s only Greg Norman ‘links’ style championship golf course are currently available. They range from 450m2 to 804m2.

And you could be part of it. For a very short period selected blocks are available from $125,000**.

Pressure on Wells

Last year’s grand finalists can’t afford to take Bombers lightly

My Call n Kym Jarman previews APFL KYM’s KIss of Death: Two Wells 72 Balaklava 27 Virginia 58

This week’s clash at Hamley Bridge means but one thing. A win for Two Wells keeps them in touch with the APFL’s top four – something Steven Fitzgerald’s young men will be pursuing, hoping to move heaven and earth on the way to a favourable result.

Last year’s grand finalists currently sit outside the top four a game behind their neighbours – the fourth-placed Virginia.

With Virginia expected to get an easy win over United this week at Long Plains, Two Wells knows the importance of back-to-back wins at the Bridge this week to stay within striking distance as we approach the business end of the season.

Further north, at Balaklava, the Peckers and HW Eagles will be

locked in an absorbing battle of their own. Whoever wins that game will be likely to finish second at the end of the minor round – but more of my thoughts on their game in the preview on page 23.

The Roosters have started this year’s final round (which every side plays one another once each from last weekend) with a strong win over United, effectively ending any remote last hope the Tigers had in making the finals.

To win well this week against seventh-placed Hamley Bridge will mean it will be “two from two” and confidence will be high in the Roosters camp approaching 2010’s third grand final re-match against top of the table Mallala in a fortnight’s time.

Interestingly the Roosters currently

hold more percentage than the Rams.

So should they win by a large margin this week against the Bombers, they can really start their run home with a “bang” and build up some percentage should they need to call on it later in the year.

Two Wells will be hoping that matches featuring other teams between now and the end of the 2010 minor round go their way, as it is possible things could be taken out of their hands should they not defeat at least three sides currently above them between now and August 28.

The return of gun Lee Allmond and young whippet Kahn Leighton are good signs.
