Residential plan for land Les Pearson reports:

WAKEFIELD Regional Council selected Summerfield Investments’ tender of $143,000 for its former works depot in Port Wakefield at last Wednesday night’s council meeting. Summerfield Investments is

Wakefield depot sells for $143,000 freehold owner of the Rising Sun Hotel in Port Wakefield. Southern Ward councillor, Rodney Reid, moved the land be sold after extensive debate surrounding council’s possible liability if the site is contaminated (see separate story, Page 4).

The final sale figure is believed to be significantly more than what the land was likely to bring during negotiations in 2009 and before the Ombudsman investigated the sale process. WRC went to tender over the land after the Ombudsman inter-

vened following a complaint by resident Richard Pain. Summerfield Investments director, John Erskine, said the land will be used for residential development. “We’re purchasing land from the council with the intention of making it residential,” he said.

The potential contamination issues did not faze Mr Erskine. “There have been some tests done that have shown some possible contamination issues,” he said. “They’re only possible and we’ll just have to do some further tests to find out what the problems are and remediate whatever we need to.” n Continued Page 4

ELSIE Matters at home in Hamley Bridge with her daughter, Thelma Moldenhauer. – PICTURE: Lisa Redpath.

Elsie has 100 reasons to celebrate Elsie Matters is 100 years old today. When Elsie (nee Hewlett) was born in Gumeracha on May 4, 1911, the world was much different. Not only was May 4 – a Thursday – the beginning of a wonderful life for Elsie, there were matters of significance in Australia. Apart from the obvious global developments over 100 years, Elsie was born in the year when the Northern Territory was separated from South Australia and transferred to Commonwealth control – and the Australian Capital Territory was established. Dublin defeated Lower Light for the Adelaide Plains Football Association premiership and West Adelaide won the flag in the SANFL. Of course, much more happened that year –

Terry Williams reports:

Mawson was off to the Antarctic – but let’s get to our birthday gal. For Elsie, who still lives in her Hamley Bridge home, life’s journey was to take her from Gumeracha – where she would milk cows, plant potatoes and tomatoes and pick them for market – to Reeves Plains, Pinkerton Plains and Hamley Bridge. Not a great distance geographically, but an incredible odyssey of life, love and harmony for one sparkling lady we honour today. And she was right on the ball when the Plains Producer called.

“Are you related to Neil, from Reeves Plains,” she asked. Well, no, there’s lots of us about. “I always read the Producer,” Elsie said. “And my son Robert reads it from cover to cover. I give him a yearly subscription for his birthday.” Thanks for the accolade Elsie. It’s nice to be recognised by someone who matters. And Robert will have something to read this week! Elsie will celebrate her birthday with her family and friends on Sunday – appropriately, Mother’s Day – at Hamley Bridge Institute. MIGHTY MUM

Mallala lists four ‘major projects’ A PROPOSED $2.5 million upgrade of facilities at Middle Beach, including roads, boat channel and tourist information booths, headlines four major local projects outlined for funding submissions by District Council of Mallala (DCM). The identified projects also include the Two Wells Men’s/Community Shed (estimated $1 million), Shannon road construction ($1.5 million) and repairs to the Wasley road Bridge ($700,000). Council will apply for financial support for the projects through the $1 billion Regional Development Australia Fund (RDAF). DCM chief executive officer, Charles Mansueto, said the projects

Regions in focus

SOUTH Australia’s Regional Outlook conference will be held in Hahndorf today. The conference, hosted by the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES), is one of seven held nationwide and provides commodity forecasts and research results directly to regional communities.

not only meet funding criteria but are also seen to have several other advantages. “These projects have been identified as potential projects for the RDAF for a number of reasons but mainly associated with the projects having a mix of community and economic benefits,” he said. “The other main reason is the funding has a minimum of $500,000 so a lot of smaller projects would not fit the funding criteria and if successful, they would create many benefits to the local community.” The Middle Beach upgrade was suggested in anticipation of strong population growth north of Adelaide, which suggested a stronger

future demand for coastal access in the area. Mr Mansueto said the issue was raised with the State government in line with feedback associated with the growth predicted in the 30 Year Plan for Greater Adelaide. “There has been no formal response from the government in regard to the increased demand for coastal access but the issue has been raised in many forums with the state agencies while discussing the 30 year plan,” he said. “We are expecting some recognition of this issue through the revision of the state’s infrastructure plan.” Council is particularly focussed on supporting the Men’s Community

Shed proposal, acting as the lead applicant on behalf of the two other district councils involved. The third project on the list is the sealing of Shannon road, which is a key transport route to the Carslake Road Saleyards, making it subject to increased heavy vehicle traffic. If unsuccessful in the RDAF application, the Shannon road project may have to wait. “Given council’s current budget capacity, the only option to seal Shannon road would be through external funding,” Mr Mansueto said. “If not successful through the RDAF, we will look at other funding opportunities.” The same goes for the Wasley

Road Bridge, which was damaged during December’s floods. “If funding is not available through this fund, council will need to look at other options,” Mr Mansueto said. “These options are yet to be considered.” If left unrepaired, the bridge may be closed. Mr Mansueto indicated there was a fair chance some projects would miss out. “I suspect that it would be unlikely that all projects get funded,” he said. “Further, not all projects will be applied for in the first round (of funding applications) due by May 13.”

Wallet may lead police to Owen pool vandals

A MISPLACED wallet could land a Balaklava youth in hot water if it is linked to vandalism at Owen War Memorial Swimming Pool on Saturday night. Offenders are reported to have broken into the pool and thrown several furniture items, including a heavy bike rack, into the water. The pool has been broken into several times in the past year but this time, a wallet, possibly belonging to one

of the alleged offenders, was found at the scene. The wallet was handed to police yesterday. As a result, Balaklava police officer, constable Phil Walsh, said alleged offenders could be facing several charges, including serious criminal trespass, unlawfully on premises and property damage. “The wallet has lots of identification in it, so we will be questioning its owner,” he said.

Const. Walsh said the Owen Swimming Pool Committee was looking to take action against the offenders. The wallet also contained identification cards of other school students, which are likely to provide police with other avenues in their investigations as well as add another criminal charge of unlawful possession to the wallet owner’s rap sheet. Further investigations are continuing.

A bike rack lies in the bottom of the pool.

I am sick and tired of the attitude of some of so-called “young adults” in the district. Last weekend an 18th birthday party was held at Owen. This seems to be an excuse for young people to invade the town for 12 hours. On the last three occasions of these parties, some children have found it necessary to visit Owen War Memorial Swimming Pool after the party has finished – or they have been kicked out, or refused entry. So it’s off to break into the pool and throw things in it. Pretty much anything they can lift with the help of their brain-dead mates. Now I ask you, what possible thrill could these kids get from this? I gather none of them can swim – and if they can they never learnt in their local swimming pool. Otherwise why would they set out to wantonly vandalise an area

LETTER TO THE EDITOR which may have given them so much pleasure as a child (obviously some of them have not moved on much – but that would be an insult to children who enjoy the pool.) If these people think this is a joke, then think about who cleans up your crap. It sure ain’t the fairies! The maintenance and upkeep of a town swimming pool requires countless hours of voluntary work by a community. Heaving furniture into the water damages the surfaces, upsets the water quality and places people at risk – not only the losers who did the dense thing in the first place, but also those who retrieve the stuff

The Owen pool has been winterised, which means it has been heavily chlorinated along with the addition of stabiliser chemicals making it not a very nice place to be to retrieve all the crap you threw in! Further, ongoing vandalism at the Owen Pool is placing its future viability at risk. If your children were involved in the early hours of Sunday morning, please contact the Owen pool committee and we can find plenty of jobs for them to do . I would also like to point out the irony of the vandalism to a War Memorial occurring only five days after Anzac Day, so a war memorial also has been desecrated. I certainly hope you feel really good about yourselves! Andrew Parker, President, Owen Swimming Pool Committee.

Let’s get going! n IT’S that time of the year again! It only seems like yesterday when farmers were rushing to get grain into silos – now they’re cranking up tractors to start seeding. Derek Tiller was checking canola seed when photographer Lisa Redpath found him with his father, John, at Pinery last Friday. Since then, Derek said 8mm of rain had fallen, so he’s fairly happy!

Maitland fills LGA role ... and he plans to go on with the job as president • From Page 1 Mr Maitland said he would still retain his other roles in local government organisations. “It means taking on a role that is very much akin to being mayor of the council but it is in effect being mayor of the whole state, in a local government perspective,” Mr Maitland said. With an already fairly hectic weekly schedule, Mr Maitland is anticipating further time demands with the new role, making him even busier. “I haven’t had time to find that out yet,” he said. “I’m sure I will be though, very sure.” Mr Maitland will be in the role for about two months but will nominate for the permanent position. Nominations for president close in four weeks with a four

Les Pearson reports: week voting period to follow if more than one nomination is received. Mr Maitland said the LGA presidency has long been on his agenda and he believed benefits will flow back to the Wakefield region if successful. “It is certainly a bonus for council and the region because it gets you that much closer to the centre of the action,” he said. “Back when I first got onto the state executive and elected as vice president, it was my intention to nominate for president.” “With the health issues I had, it set me back somewhat.” Nominations for the new LGA presidency role opened in January this year.

“At that stage I still felt I probably wasn’t quite well enough but I have improved enough since then to think I can put my hand up now,” Mr Maitland said. “I’ve got the support of my family, which is important. “It’s a fair bit of extra work and I certainly wouldn’t have gone into it without Prue’s support particularly.” Mr Maitland has also received support from two Wakefield councillors. “I’m not sure what the others are thinking but I will talk to them in due course,” he said. “All I can do now is do the best I can, which is always my intention when taking on these roles.” While in the acting president’s position, Mr Maitland said he would be using the opportunity to focus on issues he felt should

take precedence. Some of these were discussed at the LGA half-yearly general meeting last week. Those issues included directing funding received from the Solid Waste Levy paid by local councils to assist with local solid waste reduction programs and the potential of introducing online voting in local government elections. “While I’m in the acting role and if I get the president’s role, I will keep pushing very hard, long and strong, to get the government to talk about South Australia, not just Adelaide all the time,” Mr Maitland said. “There was a motion passed to do with supporting regional development in country SA, which has been a big push from myself through the LGA over the past few months.”

Call for EPA advice in sale process: Developer

keen to get started

THE former WRC works depot at Port Wakefield.

Councillors question ‘contaminated’ land POTENTIAL site contamination at Wakefield Regional Council’s (WRC) former Port Wakefield works depot held up the decision to select a successful tender applicant at last Wednesday evening’s council meeting. Councillors were divided on council’s legal liability to the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) if it sold land that was possibly contaminated. Northern Ward councillor, Greg Stevens, opened the contamination debate. “Whoever takes this on knows this property could possibly be contaminated ... and we are legally not liable?” he asked WRC chief executive officer, Phil Barry. Mr Barry confirmed the comment. “Correct. It’s already on record that we’re aware there could be possible contamination there,” he responded. Legal opinion from Wallman’s Lawyers, attached in the council agenda, said WRC “acted reasonably and appropriately in the circumstances in providing information within the tender documents relating to the history of the land.” “It is then open to potential

Les Pearson reports: tenderers to lodge a tender having made a fully informed decision on the basis of the information available to them.” Western Ward councillor, Darryl Pain, was not satisfied. “Did we make a condition when we put the open tender out that “you (the purchaser) will have a condition put on you that you will have no recourse rights?” he asked. “No, we didn’t put that condition in but what we did to the satisfaction of the lawyer, is that we flagged the possible contamination,” Mr Barry responded. “Did we make that wellknown in the tender that there was possible contamination?” Cr Pain clarified. Mr Barry again confirmed this was the case. It was the comment at the end of Wallman’s Lawyers advice, which Cr Pain was particularly concerned about. This was: “The issues of site contamination (including council’s liability for any contamination under the Environment and Protection Act 1993) is something which should be expressly

addressed in any contract to sell the land if the council does make a decision to sell,” the Wallman’s advice concluded. According to Mr Pain, council’s consultant, Golder and Associates, also made reference to EPA concern. “We have paid a consultant and a lawyer that said we need to go and check this with the EPA, yet I have not seen one report from the EPA that says we are going to be fine and not dragged into a lawsuit,” he said. “The legal advice is quite clear,” Mr Barry again pointed out. But Cr Pain countered: “We took legal advice when we were selling the property to start with that said we did nothing wrong. “Then we got an ombudsman’s report that says ‘go back and follow your policy’. “I don’t have a problem with a lawyer writing a letter but when he says at the bottom about the EPA, I think we need to check that out.” “Maybe we should sign a contract, with these conditions on it, with the EPA before we sell anything.” Mr Barry was against involving the EPA at any level, and claimed the process council is

taking was hardly out of the ordinary. “It’s not unusual at all to do something like that,” he said. “What’s the harm in getting a letter from the EPA stating there will be no recourse against you?” Cr Pain again quizzed, before changing tact. “If you’re happy there will be no comeback on council and you can state that categorically, I want to see it in writing.” Mr Barry responded: “Certainly from my understanding under the advice from the lawyers, that is correct.” Western Ward councillor, John Kipling, was perplexed with Mr Barry’s stance. “Is it that difficult to write to the EPA and ask them?” he asked. “What’s the big deal about contacting the EPA and asking?” “Because there is no legal requirement to do that,” Mr Barry replied. “Why not do it anyway just to be on the safe side?” Cr Kipling continued. Mr Barry simply stated time constraints also did not allow for further discussion with the EPA. The land went on to sell for $143,000 following the Summerfield Investments tender.

• From page 1 Crs John Kipling, Greg Stevens and Darryl Pain publicly opposed the sale of the land without approval from the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) with concerns of contamination but Mr Erskine was not worried over the issue. “I’m not worried about the EPA because what we’ll do is what ever we need to, to remediate the issue, so I’m not concerned at all,” Mr Erskine said. Summerfield Investments outlined plans to build accommodation for the Rising Sun Hotel on nearby land in 2009. “The proposal we had for the accommodation at the hotel, as I understand it, is still up and going because we have acquired extra land for that already,” Mr Erskine said. After having ongoing issues with purchasing the former works depot, he said the company simply moved on to other options. Mr Erskine also believed the former works depot was built and operated on residentially zoned land. “It’s been an anomaly that it has been used for anything else,” he said. Having now secured the works depot land, Mr Erskine said Summerfield Investments is looking to invest in their little corner of the town. “It’s always been something we’ve been wanting to do,” he said. “We have a lot of faith in the future of Port Wakefield, we’ve got our little ‘niche’ and we’ve been trying to do something with it. “It’s definitely part of an area which is residential in nature and we’re trying to keep the historical perspective of the area as well with our little cottage (renovated and sold on West street) but we’ll see what happens.” Mr Erskine said the company was keen to get its residential development up and running as soon as possible. “We’ll go ahead and settle it and then determine what needs to be done as far as contamination issues are concerned and then work out a residential plan,” he said. Cr Pain suggested the profits from the sale could be utilised on projects previously made unavailable due to budget constraints. His suggestion was to repair Warne’s Boundary and Shadwell Gap roads, which were temporarily removed from the works roster to help accommodate flood repairs. The remaining funds would then be dispersed between the Port Wakefield Community Management Committee and the Snowtown skate park proposal. Cr Reid was supportive of Cr Pain’s suggestion. Central Ward councillor, David Lamond, believed the funds from the land sale could be put towards the construction of a new council works depot. This provoked an unsavoury response from members in the public gallery. Both suggestions will be tabled at next month’s council meeting.

Elsie has 100 reasons to celebrate • From Page 1 There’s two children, five grand children and four great-granchildren who will be there. “She’s looking foward to that,” said daughter Thelma Moldenhauer, who now lives at Elizabeth with husband Kevin. Thelma each week jouneys to Elsie’s Archer street home to help care for her, but there’s no thought of Elsie moving out. “She’s happy there and looks after herself quite well,” Thelma said. “We call in to see her, but mum gets about the house on her own without a problem.” Thelma and her brother Robert, who now lives in Coobowie, were raised on the family farm at Pinkerton Plains by Elsie and their father, Clarrie, who passed away in 1981. Elsie had moved from Gumeracha

4 www.plainsproducer.com.au

to Reeves Plains with her family in 1932 and in 1937 she married Clarrie at Woolsheds Methodist Church after the pair found each other at a strawberry fete in Wasleys. The pair took up land at Pinkerton Plains, where they had mixed farming; grain, sheep, cattle, pigs and chooks. Referring to her time as a girl at Reeves Plains, Elsie said: “I used to help out with the horses when we were ploughing. “We would harness them up, ready for work. But when the tractors came, that changed things for women at home. “The horses would need to be home by dark to be fed – and we would feed the men. “When tractors came along, well, we had no idea when they would be home and it was hard to know when to get the meal prerpared.”

Nonetheless, Elsie kept very busy caring for her family. She spoiled them with wonderful meals. Her reputation as a great cook endures today. In 1968, Elsie, Clarrie and Thelma moved to Hamley Bridge and the Archer street home. Robert stayed on the farm. It was a busy time for Elsie, who became involved in church fellowship, Red Cross, CWA and Meals on Wheels. With Clarrie’s passing in 1981, Elsie’s life changed. Surrounding herself with many great friends from Hamley Bridge and nearby areas, Elsie kept busy cooking and making jam and reading. And today she celebrates 100 years. Join us as we congratulate Elsie and collectively aspire to one small thing... Let’s hope any birthday cakes are up to Elsie’s high standards! Plains Producer, Wednesday May 4, 2011

Tourism ‘growth’ plan criticised FOLLOWING a relatively subdued couple of months, Clare Valley Tourism (CVT) and the Clare Valley Business Tourism Association (CVTBA) have released their stance on the South Australian Tourism Commission (SATC) draft Regional Tourism Growth Plan. In a letter submitted to Clare and Gilbert Valleys Coucnil (CGVC) for last month’s council meeting, both local tourism groups teamed up and collectively slammed the SATC plan. The letter, signed by CVT chairperson, Yvonne Cloke, and CVBTA vice chairperson David Cowperthwaite, labelled it a “shortsighted cost-cutting exercise.”

Les Pearson reports:

“We believe the (plan) is about budget savings, not growth and the proposal lacks vision and long term planning for regional tourism,” the letter alleged. “The proposal shows a lack of knowledge and understanding of how regions work and (it) shows no evidence it has the capacity to increase tourism expenditure but seeks to gain revenue from local government with no guarantee of any benefits to our region.” The tourism groups also questioned the SATC claim the plan was devised based on communications

with tourist operators and other interested parties. “We do not believe this proposal is a reflection of consultation with key stakeholders and as a result, this ‘Growth Plan’ has the potential to dismantle regional tourism structures currently in place,” the letter said. The letter said all local tourist groups were united in believing the area needs a tourism officer and a viable tourist information centre based in the region. The united approach has more potential according to the tourism group’s letter. “A collaborative and coordinated approach is essential at this time of

uncertainty and as such, being able to convert this threat to tourism in our region to an opportunity to work together to align the core business of these key stakeholders to benefit the Clare Valley region is a realistic and achievable goal to strive for,” it said. CGVC chief executive officer, Roy Blight, conveyed council’s concerns of the financial burden it will need to bear if the plan is put in place, which was backed up by the tourism groups. “We share council’s concerns at the high cost of maintaining the Visitor Information Centre for this region and believe that collaboratively, we can minimise these costs while at the

same time maximise use of the current council funding,” the letter said. “We believe this can be achieved collaboratively, with all key stakeholders, without the assistance from SATC, who clearly do not have a regional tourism focus at this point in time.” The letter ended with a request for the tourism groups to delay any SATC decision on Clare Valley tourism funding to buy some time to consult one another and formulate an ideal scenario for the region with its current resources and personnel. The CVTBA has since been invited to make a presentation at the next council workshop.

With $16,500 for skate park, Snowtown calls on council WAKEFIELD Regional Council will decide at next month’s council meeting if and how it will support the Snowtown skate park project, after a presentation by Snowtown Community Management Committee (CMC) chair, Paul McCormack, at last Wednesday night’s meeting. Mr McCormack, representing the town’s skate park committee, said the skate park has received a tremendous amount of optimism since the initial town meeting last year. “As chairperson of that meeting, I sensed a groundswell of genuine

Les Pearson reports: support to build a skate park,” he told council. “While it was an overwhelming commitment, it wasn’t very hard to get volunteers involved.” As evidence of that support, the committee had raised $16,500 as of last month. “The committee so far has salvaged that much money out of a small community of Snowtown, which is a commendable effort,” Mr McCormack said. “They have continually sought windows of opportunity to fundraise.”

Such efforts have included running a sausage sizzle at Viterra sites during harvest and working the gate at local football and netball matches. The plan is to build the park on the old basketball court on North terrace, which will also, eventually, feature barbecue facilities and a car park. Mr McCormack said the committee was leaning towards the cheaper, more flexible park option. Starting with a flat concrete base, park components are constructed and arranged on the slab to suit. “The initial cost is a minimal cost and then you build as you go with steel components with difference of difficulty,” Mr McCormack said. He said the local youth have been keen to be a

part of the project. “The kids have been involved from day one, even at our public meeting,” Mr McCormack said. “I can assure you every kid at the school also wrote a letter to us.” Local youth also helped with the fundraising and planning. Mr McCormack said this was a prime opportunity to provide something for the kids in town. “I think it goes without saying you need to designate an area for the children in your town and this is our chance,” he said. “If there is a criticism of the CMC in Snowtown, it is we’ve been a little negligent in the area of our kids and our youth. “This skate park proposal is an opportunity for my committee to tag

LEW Noble with his champTungali Tip Toe

Lew returns to Tarlee with perfect score By John Tayler

FORMER Tarlee resident, Lew Noble , of Geelong, broke his own and everyone else’s record by scoring a perfect 100 points in the South Australian Working Sheepdog Association trials at Tarlee last weekend. This was the first time Lew, 85, has achieved this in 46 years of sheepdog trialling Returning to Tarlee after having managed a sheep property 45 years ago, Lew was thrilled to renew old acquaintances, while breaking this unique record in the sport. Well known over the years by winning several Australian championships, Lew still commands respect from his dogs who obey his every instruction. Lew entered six different dogs in the various events, and was rewarded by winning the championship with Tungali Tip Toe, with scores of 100 and 98. The scores of the 2 trials are added together with the average score determining the winner. His tally of 198 made them the clear winners. He was also runner-up being equal second with Tungali Jasper, with Damian Wilson and his dog Ulara Rob. Both scored 192 points. Lew was born at Auburn, number seven in a family of 14 children, and says he plans to be back at Tarlee next year competing again. Organiser Janice De Gennaro, says that the members are pleased with the facilities at Tarlee and will return in future years.

It’s just $10 entrance fee, with a free glass of bubbly included and lucky door prizes. Bar and supper facilities are available, so ladies, get along and enjoy yourselves, then follow up on Sunday! All funds raised will go towards renovating a play area at BCCC.

High-rolling highway Port Wakefield businesses count on the big Easter holiday rush Sally Crowther reports: HOLIDAY traffic travelling through Port Wakefield on the Easter long weekend was horrific for some – but for the townsfolk and business owners, it was extremely beneficial. Department of Transport Energy and Infrastructure (DTEI) official figures revealed nearly 20,000 vehicles travelled north on Thursday April 21 and Friday April 22. And with the cars, came rivers of cash on the “golden highway” as profits for local business doubled. Many local businesses employed extra staff, with an average of four extra needed to help cover the increased business. Staff throughout the town worked hard to sell a massive amount of goods and services. For example, Kiplings Bakery sold 13, 500 bakery products and drinks. Tracey Pope, owner of Pope’s Cafe and Bakery, with her husband Gordon, admits Easter definitely is the busiest time of the year in trading.

TRAFFIC flows through Port Wakefield. Pope’s sold countless amounts of bakery products and also cooked 550 kilograms of chips over the weekend. The Coolabah Tree Cafe found its business was also thriving. “Easter is the biggest holiday after Christmas when it comes to our trading” Assistant manager, Alyce Schaefel, says.

Alyce revealed around 2500 coffees were sold. John Kipling, owner of Kiplings Bakery since 1992, admits “Easter trading is absolutely vital”. Thousands of pies and pasties were among the hit sellers, along with chocolate donuts. “We went through 50 litres of tomato sauce,” Mr Kipling said.

Heat & Cool

It did appear this year, with the Easter holidays being held in the school break, the busy periods were more spread out in comparison to previous years. United petrol station manager, Scott Anderson, estimates fuel sales across the three main petrol stations increased by 50 percent. Vehicle numbers again were high on Monday April 25 and Tuesday April 26, with the DTEI figures revealing those 20,000 vehicles were on their way home. Owner of Port Wakefield Caravan park, Jan Underwood, admits some people decided to stay on an extra night to avoid the traffic. Cars were banked up for 15km south on Highway One on Thursday and 8km on the Peninsula road on the Tuesday following Easter Although the figures prove a large amount of vehicles travelled via Port Wakefield, business owners believe the traffic problems do not originate in the town. The troubled areas are more on the outskirts of the town, or around

the turnoff coming out of Port Wakefield. Site manager of Port Wakefield BP, Stan Karalis, is all for the increased business. “It’s an economic boost for regional areas” Mr Karalis says. Like other local business owners, he believes the extra trade in holiday periods keeps the townsfolk in jobs, and it’s extremely important when the economy is suffering. Not only was it beneficial for Port Wakefield, but all regional areas in South Australia. With the usual “small talk” of a bypass detouring Port Wakefield, the town is appalled by the idea. Local businesses were quick to suggest this would be devastating for the whole town. “If the whole town were to be bypassed, half the businesses, if not all, would end up closing” Gordon Pope said While the Port Wakefield businesses are relaxing after the Easter break, they are already gearing up for the next long weekend in June.

NEWS v District n AMBULANCE SERVICE BY JUNE n HORSE CLINIC BY 2014

Roseworthy vet centre prepares for next step The new Roseworthy Veterinary Health Centre at the University of Adelaide’s Roseworthy campus is expected to grow even further, providing the area with specialist veterinary care in the Companion Animal Health, Production Animal and Equine Health Centres, while educating students at the school. The Companion Animal Health Centre, opened in November, is being used as a general practice clinic for smaller animals, an observation and learning area for students and as a point of referral from other veterinarians for animals needing specialist treatment. “The Companion Animal Health Centre functions as a general practice and a referral practice for those needing

Meagan Halliday reports: special care,” said Dean of Animal and Veterinary Sciences school, professor Gail Anderson. Professor Anderson noted other veterinarians were choosing to refer patients to the centre because of its specialists in areas such as surgery, dermatology and radiology, as well as facilities previously inaccessible in the area. An ambulatory veterinary service will begin operation before June, providing local producers of beef cattle, pigs, sheep, horses, chickens and other production animals easier access to veterinarians and specialist care. It will also provide students with experience handling production animals.

The final stage of the Veterinary Health Centre, the Equine Health Centre, is expected to be built by 2014 and will provide a specialist horse treatment facility. The centre is expected to provide world-class facilities accessible by not only veterinarians operating out of the clinic but also private veterinarians wanting to utilise equipment previously unattainable to them. Roseworthy racehorse trainer, David Halliday, welcomed the Equine Health Centre. “There is a lack of specialist horse clinics and facilities in the state and it is fantastic one is being built in the area,” he said.” Enrolment in the Animal and Veterinary Sciences School has increased with

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Is your dog missing? This is a plea to all dog owners going on holidays or away for a few days – please think carefully if considering leaving your dog home alone for a friend or neighbour to “check on and feed”. The lonely dog could fret, get bored, become mischievous or could escape. It could then wander the streets, cause an accident or come to harm. How would you feel when you returned home if the dog was hurt or gone? There are better options – investigate them! Responsible dog owners should also ensure their dog is easily identifiable in the event it is found wandering. Dog registration tags, microchipping or ear tattoo are inexpensive options. Pick one! Don’t wait for it to get lost and end up at the Animal Welfare League with an uncertain future, or worse, dead. And if anyone is missing a young desexed male dog, possibly a German shorthaired pointer, found wandering Two Wells over Easter, please contact the Mallala Council or Animal Welfare League as soon as possible.

Prepare, act, survive AFTER eight years of devoted service to the Country Fire Service (CFS), community education officer, Jeff Ayres, will pass on the community education baton for Region 2 on Friday to begin his retirement. Starting out in October, 2003, from humble beginnings facilitating CFS community education meetings with a whiteboard, some butcher’s paper, a set of pens and a clear message, Jeff helped to shape the Community Education Unit to what it is today. Now, meetings are facilitated with computers, projectors, a variety of publications and a website full of information but the message is still the same – Prepare. Act. Survive. It is essentially this message that Jeff has been so passionately delivering for the past eight years, that is empowering the community to be prepared for the event of bushfire. Jeff said he has enjoyed his time working for the CFS as well as the challenges that he has faced along the way. “I enjoyed every meeting with the community as there were always new people there with different issues significant to them,” he said. “The continual challenge to achieve meaningful and lasting engagement with those people

‘

JEFF Ayres gets animated as he sells the CFS message. and the uncertainty of how the meeting will go kept me on my toes and made it all worthwhile.” CFS regional prevention officer, Sonia Post, said Jeff’s work has been invaluable and he would be sorely missed by all CFS staff and volunteers – especially in Region 2. “Jeff has been instrumental in raising community awareness of bushfire and the need to prepare both mentally and physically for the possibility of disaster,” Ms Post said. “CFS volunteer firefighters in the region are grateful for all the work Jeff has done educating communities, as well-prepared properties essentially mean less work for our firefighters. “The CFS is so thankful for all Jeff’s hard work and dedication and we wish him all the best in the future.” Jeff has worked with the Two Wells and Gawler River CFS,

as well as educating the wider Adelaide Plains community and other areas about fire safety. Wakefield Plains group officer, Chris Cowan, said Mr Ayres applied himself to his job and believed in what he was teaching. “He’s done a lot of work out around Halbury with the local residents, trying to educate people on fire safety throughout the area,” Mr Cowan said. “It is one of our bigger risk populated areas in the region.” Mr Cowan said there are still a number of people out there ignorant of fire safety measures, despite Mr Ayres’ efforts. “He’s been pretty hard at it,” Mr Cowan said. “I think along with everyone else he gets frustrated with things that have happened, but he’s done a fantastic job for the CFS over the years.”

Henden flying high with new form of transportation Excitement was running high at the East Melbourne Cricket Ground on February 3, 1885, when English aeronaut H Henden ventured aloft in his formidable, new-fangled gas balloon. It was a form of transport new to Melbourne, but rather an “old hat” for Mr Henden, who had made over 220 balloon ascents, several of these being in Sydney. His vehicle, on this occasion, was called The Gem and its ‘bag’ comprised 600 yards of net-enclosed silk, requiring

36,000 cubic feet of gas to inflate it. According to the Melbourne Argus, conditions were favourable for ballooning and…the balloon sailed steadily over the southern part of the city at an elevation of about 1000 feet. But when the aeronaut

found he would have to descend as the upper currents of air were blowing seaward, the gas was allowed to escape and the balloon settled down to earth as gently as a piece of fluttering paper. It might have been the first balloon flight over Melbourne but, today, it’s a regular occurrence and a much sought after way for tourists to see many parts of Australia. On the local scene, balloon flights from Seppeltsfield and other areas of the Barossa Valley are very popular.

Pet owners who love a puff are putting their animals at significant risk, due to the effects of passive smoke, according to www.vetshopaustralia.com.au. Managing director at www. vetshopaustralia. com.au, Mark Perissinotto, said second hand smoke was as dangerous for cats and dogs as it was for humans, providing an even greater incentive to stamp out the habit. “Research by Puzzle 26 (Easy, difficulty rating 0.40) institutions 2 1 8 4 3 5including 9 7 6 3 7 College 9 1 2 6 of 8 Vet5 4 Tuft 6 5 4 9Medicine 8 7 2 1 and 3 erinary 1 8 7 3 6 2 4 9 5 Oklahoma State Uni5 4 3 8 1 9 6 2 7 versity 9 6 2 have 7 5 4 shown 3 8 1 8

toxic impacts of passive smoking can be magnified. Their self grooming nature also means they can ingest more poison than just breathing passive smoke from the air,’’ he said. VetshopAustralia. com.au said puppies were at greater risk to the dangers of second hand smoke because of their weaker immune systems. Other pets, in-

cluding birds, guinea pigs and rabbits were also prone to the pitfalls of passive smoke. “For personal health reasons as well as for their pets’ wellbeing, the best option is for smokers to quit. “At the very least, smoking should be limited to outdoor areas or rooms where the pets don’t live,’’ Dr Perissinotto said.

The children are also involved in local sports, with the two girls playing netball in Mallala and Bradley playing football. Michelle also finds her time is taken up by running a few small jobs on the side, which she and her husband invested in. Michelle says it can get tough being a stay at home mum, while still helping out on the farm along with the daily duties of housework, but she doesn’t complain. “I just do it” Michelle admits. Michelle is looking forward to a well deserved mothers day, and admits she is longing for breakfast in bed.

VICKI Pillar with daughter Chloe, 8. ORT Wakefield’s Vicki Pillar, a working mother of two, rarely gets time to herself. Along with working at Port Wakefield Newsagency and Groceries, Vicki has two children Shane, 18 and Chloe, 8. With work, Vicki admits it can get difficult to find someone to look after Chloe when she finishes school. Juggling both work and looking after her youngest child, she says developing a routine and sticking to it is the easiest way to go. Usually preparing dinner before she goes to work, then undertaking housework after dinner.

Vicki admits she doesn’t get much time for herself, with her time taken up with work and the “normal duties” of being a mother. But she is grateful her partner Wayne helps her out. Her youngest child Chloe, enjoys taking part in local sports, especially netball. Her son, Shane, also is involved in cricket, football and basketball – however Shane now resides in Adelaide. Despite having little spare time, Vicki also likes to socialise with other members of the Port Wakefield community. With mother’s day coming up all Vicki requests is “a relaxing day.”

The girls’ local sporting commitments also take up Jillian’s time. Driving her four kids to and from Balaklava for both netball, dance and drama club, and also to Owen for basketball and tennis. “It can get very hectic, but I wouldn’t change it for anything” Jillian admits. Beyond being a regular stay at home mum, at the age of 40 Jillian decided she would accomplish something different every year. So far she has partaken in the Amazing Race around Adelaide, raising money for Deaf Can Do. Also having had the chance to swim with dolphins. Jillian does not want to stop there however, with para sailing on her to do list along with involvement in further charity events.

Size does count! Balaklava’s big men may test Rams This week’s match of the round is certainly between Stuart Lamond’s Balaklava Peckers and Greg Phillips’s Virginia Rams. The Peckers have a couple of potent and in-form forwards in Glenn Dawson and Jonathon Brice, who will have Phillips thinking seriously about his match-ups in defence. Phillips confirmed that his opponents in this fixture play pretty tall. “My first thoughts are to use Adrian Mark on Dawson and maybe someone like Ben Russel on Brice,” Phillips mused. “But there is also Hayden Walker and (Stuart) Lamond to consider in attack. “This game is a good test of where we are, as we were pretty rusty in periods last week. “Like all games of footy, they are won in the middle initially, and I’ll back my boys in initially.” In this game at Balaklava Oval the home side has the likes of Sam Rowland, Ben Catford and developing players Aaron Cocks and Lachie Michael to face off against the likes

With Justin Walker looking to be in good early season form, the Peckers should have a significant advantage in ruck against a developing Rams big man outfit. On face value, despite the bye, Balaklava should go in as slight favourites in what should be an intriguing encounter.

Will the Bombers lift?

Hankering for a first win after a brave, but ultimately frustrating loss to Hummocks-Watchman last week, the Bombers host Two Wells. The Roosters also endured an exciting, but also annoying end to its day in round four and will be looking to bounce back quickly. “Last week’s game was close and could have gone either way,” Two Wells off field leader Mark Thomson said.

“We are still a very young side and we had 18 local blokes in the contest last week, which is promising moving forward.” The Roosters are expected to get defender Daniel Hinds back, while teenager Ryan Hooper is a 50-50 chance of donning the traditional Two Wells red and white. Naturally the top players at the Roosters like Lee Allmond, the Seccafien brothers, Ned and Peter,

along with the Leighton siblings, captain Tallan and Kahn are important, but Thomson needs an even spread of contributors from the entire squad. Ruckman Justin Schahinger has been in excellent form for Hamley Bridge and he is a lynch pin to their chances this week. The Roosters have plenty of talent across the centre with Josh Moody, Aaron Christmann, Jess Eastwood and captain Tom Smith.

Veteran Brett Burgess has proved in the last two rounds he can kick a bag of goals, if he can get enough supply. Let’s hope after the Bombers sterling effort against Hummocks Watchman, they don’t do a “Gold Coast” and follow a strong effort with an insipid one. If they can get themselves up again, they will go close to a first victory in 2011. Still, Two Wells on paper look to a fine edge.

Tigers wanting to pounce – but a Mallala wins United hosts Mallala at Long Plains this Saturday, and the Tigers’ will be looking to make their home ground a stronghold. Currently they have only secured a single victory in this campaign and are up against the might of the Magpies. While they have contributions from the likes of Heath Pym, Adrian Mills and Brad

Shimmin last week, and Peter Burgoyne was a potent target in attack with Peter Burgoyne, the lack of depth was evident last week against the Rams. Travis Opitz will be looking for a greater breath of strong performers for the Tigers to upstage there more fancied rivals this week. Mallala coach Keith Earl has his own worries, needing to find replacements for

three players down the spine. Before half time last week he lost Brad Griffiths, who will need a third knee reconstruction and his season is over. Centre half back Jimmy Cawrse came off with an ankle injury and he isn’t expected to play, while the groin problem full back Dave Cawrse has means he’ll miss this week as well.

This loss of significant height may mean Mallala will return to the running style of football which was prevalent last year. Earl will also need to make a call on who he backs to take on Burgoyne, with Chris Hallion being among the candidates. Despite the large losses, the Magpies machine will still go in as favourites.

The young HummocksWatchman Eagles side sent Hamley Bridge packing on Saturday after the clash at Port Wakefield. The game began in wet and drizzly conditions, with no end favoured by the breeze. Hamley Bridge started well, kicking the first two goals of the game and playing a better team game. The Eagles kicked a late goal to get on the score board.

With the rain stopping, the Eagles started to use the ball better, kicking three goals to nothing in the second quarter. In the third term, the Eagles began to get on top in the centre, adding another three goals to their tally. The final quarter was a rather even one, with the Eagles kicking the only goal for the term, the young lads running out with a seven goal win. Final score, HWE 8-10 (58) defeated Hamley Bridge 2-1 (13).

SPORT v Football

Bombers get within four points of Eagles THE BANDWAGON With Rick Shaw

AMAZING what a bit of positivity (and several injuries to the opposition) can do. They say one week is a long time in football, so two weeks must be considered an eternity and it certainly showed with Hamley Bridge turning a 157-point belting in round three into a four point loss in round four. Brett Burgess banged through a bag of seven for the Bombers but it wasn’t enough to rate a mention in the club’s best players. Considering he was virtually the team’s sole focal point up forward for most of the game, I thought this was harsh. The club’s senior colts also flipped their fortunes with a nice win over the hapless young Eagles. Both colts teams have been on the end of serious hidings, along with United, so far this year. Five out of the 11 senior colts matches this year have been 100-point hidings. The APFL should have a good look at what is the point of the Junior Football Panel. I am told all the clubs come together to sit around and talk “positively” about junior football and what is good for the game. Then, Saturday comes around, and the very same clubs roll out the attitude that says “who cares about junior football, let’s just beat the crap out of the opposition even if they might be playing seven or eight kids up from a grade below to ensure both sides get a game”. What is with the need for junior coaches to feel satisfaction by pumping a team half their age and size? Anyone who wants to doubt this just have a look at the scores from the round prior to Easter. Margins of 131, 136 and 163 points. On a positive note: There are some coaches who do the right thing and share players, not to make everything even and nice, but to ensure both teams get some benefit from the game. To these guys, I say well done and keep it up! But a few teams need to have a good look

EAGLE Tait Nottle kicks away before a tackle by young Bomber Jayden Wedding. at themselves and to these coaches I say are you listening or are your ears painted on? My suggestion is both the Junior Football Panel gets serious and clubs genuinely decide to support their panel reps, or disband it and stop pretending to want what’s best for junior footy. The clubs need to realise the future of the APFL rests in their hands and will be determined by their attitude. I should mention the ‘mercy rule’ is still in place for the under 14s, while the senior colts had the rule disbanded about two years ago. Back to the seniors, and finally, Mr Burgoyne has apparently decided he’s part of a team and helped them out with eight goals. Not to continually harp on the Burgoyne situation but you only have to walk around the car park of the arena to hear that getting him back for another season has definitely divided the United Football Club. Club spectators are apparently asking; “is he that good he doesn’t even have to train?” Would’ve thought after two years of a no-show in any of the finals, the club would be insisting all senior players train, no matter who you are.

I also hear the Long Plains A1 netty side were taking no chances this week, they had four girls on the bench! Back to footy and our good friends at Virginia had some “trials” against United but “got away with it” in the end. Didn’t see that coming. I also thought Virginia would beat United. I must apologise to Two Wells star “Lee” Allmond after spelling his name “Leigh” a few weeks back, as correctly pointed out by Allmond’s number one fan, Dillon Wise. Thanks Dyllan for the tip, I have never been good with names. Allmond was sensational in Two Well’s heartbreaking loss to the Magpies, Mallala again coming out on the right side of a tight one. I reckon coach Keith Earl has a grey hair for every close match the team has won. This week’s matches look enticing, with the Peckers taking on Virginia at Ralli Park. I can’t split them, so I’m tipping a draw. Hamley Bridge host the Roosters and Two Wells should have too much class but again, stay positive Bombers. Finally, Mallala journey out to Long Plains and will test the Tigers’ depth. The Magpies will get up by over five goals.

McCormack ANZAC medal worthy Playing a game with an ANZAC focus, the Blyth-Snowtown Cats were electric early, kicking seven unanswered goals in the first quarter to set up an emphatic 73-point win over North Clare. “From about half way through the first quarter we started to link up well and use the ball with precession,” playing coach for the day, Jarrod Gillings said “At quarter time I felt we had control of the contest. “Anyone of our four best players could have taken out the ANZAC medal.” In this contest at Snowtown, awkward but effective left footer Nick McCormack won the second annual C Weathers VC ANZAC Medal, being among a number of his team mates who were vying for the prestigious award. Best on ground in the 2010 grand final, Glen Hayes, was tremendous all day, as was Nick’s brother Simon and captain Ryan Darling. Up forward, Jarrod Gillings kicked four goals while Scott Atkinson and Will Walker finished with three each.

REPORT: By Peter Argent Nick Prokopec kicked six, but was inaccurate early, while team leader Matt Ward and former coach Craig Jaeschke both were hard working for the vanquished. Modest win for RSMU After a strong first up effort, RSMU were modest in a 69-point loss to Danny Schell’s BBH Rams in round two. Brothers Stephen and Peter Mann were both excellent for the hosts at Burra Oval, while Casey Cooper, Boh Wall and Ryan Schell all had an impact. Only James Vandeleur, Ben Moreton and Sam Noack could hold their heads up for the Hawks. After leading virtually all day Eudunda/Robertstown just failed to hold on against South Clare in round two. A soccer goal consigned them to a five point defeat. Michael Liebelt was a huge contributor for the Demons, while heath Ward and 2010 Mail medallist Brodie Murphy was instru-

mental in the victory. Teenager Dylan Reece ran out the game strongly for the Saints, while Rowan Prior worked hard all game, especially at the stoppages. Playing coach Corey Ah Chee kicked four important goals. Eagles swoop Tigers Peter Meyer’s BSR Tigers were a lot more competitive in their contest with the Eagles at Mintaro Oval, although they still went down by 25 points in the end. Michael Young was best on ground for the victors, closely followed by fourgoal forward Ben Kerslake. Jason “Buckets” Mackenzie was brilliant for his foundation club, as was Paul Jones in defence.

Farmers and home gardeners alike turned away from their ombrometers, gazing instead with hungry eyes at the mouth-watering ute-load of magnificent meat, from Mark’s Meats, for which a 17-strong squad sped off in a Stableford stoush. To the victor go the chops, sausages, steaks, haggai, gammons, jugged hares plus glazed gibberbird giblets and our conqueror was mild-mannered Geoff. Leo, who returned triumphant with 45 points. Wayne “Chainsaw” Nagle trumped ‘em in the A grade with 40 points, punishing Peter Lamont’s 36 and trouncing Peter Thompson’s 35. That left a somewhat peckish M Hameister (35), S Michael (35), I Michael (32) and G Ackland (27). Ben “The Burglar” Michael did it yet again to his hapless B grade comrades, scoring 40 points to trounce Dean Trickett (38) and rout Dave Rodgers (37). As well there were W Berry (35), D Robinson (32) and G Anderson (18). Protein-packed powerhouse Geoff Leo easily stewed the C graders, to wit Lachlan Michael (42), Martin Bell (34) and Dillon Michael (34). In the absence of Birdies, Nearest The Pins were shared evenly between Geoff “Goose-livers” Leo at the third, mighty Merv Hameister (8th), Wayne “Wadding” Nagle (10th) and Graham “Emu” Ackland (15th). This Saturday we’ll all get crackin’ for the Jack McCracken (Ford) Trophy, a Stroke round to be started by no less luminaries than Captain Peter Lamont and Robbie “Emperor of the E-Bay” Lawson. Emu will be creating mindnumbing cocktails at the 19th and one “J H Michael Esq” is down to handle the chook wheel, but it’ll need a good dusting and the grease-gun before that… This Sunday fortnight (that’s May 15, Barrie), we host the Rotary four-person Ambrose event, with an 11am-noon teeoff, roast dinner to follow and all for just $30 a head, all also for an exceptionally good cause, so please get organised, then ‘phone Raelene Trickett on 8527 2627 - 0437 672 084 or email her at raeltr@bigpond.com. RSVPs were due by May 1, but Raelene is an understanding lady and will accept tardy phone calls.

Two Wells

Results from Saturday, April 23. Competition: Par. Sponsor: Wheatsheaf Hotel Virginia. Players: 33 men and one ladies. A magnificent day for the extra long Easter weekend, which found numbers slightly down as folk headed away for the long break. Players fronted up to battle the ole nemesis of golfers the dreaded Par Competition, with only a few finding the course conditions to their liking. Vince Hatch played a solid game without any distractions from his playing partners, to win A grade with +5 taking balls for the NTP on the 11th, Pro’s approach and an eagle on the 17th. The Grigg family again battled out the minor placing, with son Simon winning the count back from Grigg Senior both on +4. John Ball played a very solid game winning B grade with +7 by far the best score of the day. Adam Bail surprising all with a return to the podium with +4 on a count back from newcomer Charlie Hogg. Steve Kelly also played a good round finishing with +6 to win C grade just ahead of playing partner John Boon on +5 with Andrew Baker sneaking in with +4. The 2011 Match Play Draw proved interesting, with some matches sure to be of interest for the members and the guessing game will be on to pick the individual winners in each round. Bobby Hogg must be feeling the pinch of late with two weeks in a row losing his long drive to the Captain then to find out he drew him in the match play. John Ball has a game on his hand with Chris Girling playing steady of late. Best of luck to all in the draw and I hope there are some close fought results to be published in the weeks to come. Results A grade: V Hatch +5, R Grigg +4, Simon Grigg +4, V Zito +3, R Thompson +2, C Girling -1, L Grafton -1 and Y Frencken -2.

SPORT v Netball

Virginia takes top class game Virginia secured a solid eight-goal win over Long Plains in round four. Played indoors at the great facility at Virginia, the Ramettes always looked in control of this fixture, although the Tigers fought it out to the end. “In the end we went down by eight goals,” Long Plains coach Josie McArdle said. “But saying that - this was a fantastic game of netball - with very few mistakes made by either side. “Both teams would have produced strong shooting percentages.” The victors were well served by veteran Wendy Salter and Nat Carypidis in the shooters circle, while at the other end of the court, Tigers star Jane McBride and Nicole Aguis had a fascinating duel. McArdle rotated A2 goalie Brodie Hall and Kristy Hood in the goal shooters role, and both were commendable. In a match where there were a host of even performances, the ANZAC medal was won by a member of the losing side. Long Plains centre Leah Tynan was bestowed this accolade for a consistent four quarter effort, with this trophy being selected by the match officials.

PETER ARGENT’S APNA review Round 4

Hummocks dominate

In a one sided game at the Port Wakefield courts, Hummocks had a commanding 37 goal victory over Hamley Bridge, winning 58 to 21. In a dominant team effort by the Eagles, goal defence Lisa Powell won the ANZAC medal, in a brilliant personal effort. “In the defence circle Lisa and Mel Moulds continued to make intercept after intercept,” a happy playing coach Samantha Nicholls said. “Erin Brundell was ‘best on court’ and had a very solid game, shooting a very high volume and percentage. “Beth Germein and Sarah Young found the circle edge in all the right positions and their feeding into the ring was great.” Hummocks did go into the contest without Bonnie Nicholls, who had the flu. Hummocks received a scare when Tammy Nicholls landed awkwardly on her reconstructed knee late in the third quarter, but luckily, post

game, she was fine. “This gave Tegan Nottle a first chance as A 1 level,” Sam Nicholls explained. “Tegan is just in her mid teens and is a very talented junior in our club. “She played A4 last year and we promoted her into the A2 this year. “Performing exceptionally well and it was great to see that the future of the club displaying their ability on court.” Hamley Bridge goal defence Pam Mattschoss battled gamefully all contest and was its leading performer.

Mallala by one!

Mallala won a thrilling contest that ebbed and flowed all day by the smallest of possible margins, getting up by one goal against Two Wells. By first quarter the Roosters were up by four goals, but Mallala fought back as a team to be ahead by two goals at half time and then pulled away in

the third to be up by four goals at the final break. The intensity remained high all game, and it was clear that neither side was prepared to give the points up easily, with the Magpies eking out a win. “It was a very exciting game,” victorious coach Courtney Jarman said. “Both teams were extremely competitive and played a high quality level of netball for the entire four quarters. “Tessa Jarmyn’s accuracy in the goal shooters position and Ashleigh Jarman’s defensive pressure at goal defence were pivotal in the third quarter “Jess Bates performance in the tough position at wing defence was outstanding, taking numerous intercepts and creating turnovers at critical moments. “She certainly deserved theANZAC medal. Tracy Kennett remained calm and collected at centre and worked well with Diana Feeley in attack. Clare Bruggemann, wearing the “WA” bib, is beginning to find her form again after spending last season overseas.

SKY Wolf intercepts for Hummocks in front of Hamley’s Amy Humphrys, in the C1 match. Plains Producer, Wednesday May 4, 2011

SPORT v Netball

Hummocks dominate Hamley girls A1: Ladder leaders, Hummocks kept the Hamley girls winless after a strong win at Port Wakefield on Saturday. The game began with good defensive play from both teams, with Hummocks scoring the first goal after two minutes of play. Rushed play by both sides resulted in unforced errors. With nerves settling, Hummocks GK Mel Moulds and GD Lisa Powell lifted in defence, helping their side to a five-goal lead at quarter time. Hummocks 12 - Hamley 7. Mel Moulds again opened the quarter with some classic ‘Mel Barr’ interceps in and out of the ring. Hamley’s strength continued in C Ashleigh Koch and Pamela Mattschoss, who together opened up some beautiful passages of play. Hummocks shooters Erin Brundell and Sam Nicholls were on target all quarter, and moved extremely well in the goal ring, helping extend Hummocks’ lead out to 18 goals; Hummocks 31- Hamley 13. Hummocks C Beth Germein began the quarter in her best form, with a centre pass defelction and mid-court incerception. But Hamley, not giving up, showed a great attacking play with a pass from GASarah Koch to GS Helen Malone in an empty goal circle, resulting in a hard-fought goal. An injury time-out for a ‘knee twinge’ from Sam Nicholls resulted in some confusion and Hamley’s Helen Malone left the court. Here she would stay until the next goal was scored. Brilliant work from Sarah Koch, with two Hummocks defence players right on her, saw her shoot a goal to bring the seventh player onto the court. Hummocks 41 - Hamley 18. With Sam Nicholls leaving the court at three-quarter time, young talent Tegan Nottle made her A1 debut in GS, scoring the first goal for Hummocks. Sam will be back on the court after the bye this weekend. Hamley lifted their game at the 10 minute mark, with strong leading from the mid-court in WA Tanya Rademacher and C Ashleigh Koch. Hummocks’ Mel Moulds again showed her strength and eye for the ball, playing her best quarter of the match. Final score: Hummocks 58 - Hamley 21. Hummocks dominated all over the court, with Hamley showing some premiership plays at times. Hummocks’ Sarah Young played her last game for the season at 20 weeks pregnant. She played her normal strong game in at WA for all four quarters. A2: Hummocks began the game strong to come out winners by 38 goals. The Hummocks girls came out firing with clean play. There was good pressure from the Hamley girls, however their shooting was a little off, inaccuracy seeing them down by nine goals at the first break. Hummocks GD Jade Wilkins stood out for her team in this quarter. Hummocks 13 - Hamley 4. The second quarter saw many turnovers by both teams. The Hummocks girls were that little bit stronger, getting more of the play. Hamley’s defence dropped in this term. Good shooting by the Hummocks girls. Tegan Nottle in a star performance for Hummocks in GA. Hummocks 33 - Hamley 7. Hamley were on the come-back with a strong start in the third, their whole team using the space well. Hummocks looked a little rattled in the circle defence. Hamley’s GA Amanda Mullins did her team proud in this quarter. Hummocks 49 - Hamley 19. Both teams were starting to get tired and sloppy. Tegan Nottle shot well in the ring for Hummocks. Claire Schulz showed impressive skills for Hummocks. Great passing in attack and great reading of the play saw the Hummocks girls push their lead out even further, defeating Hamley 65-27. A3: Hummocks showed why they are number one in the premiership ranks so far this season, defeating Hamley by 31. The Hummocks girls started the match strongly, converting nine goals before Hamley could score. Timely passes in and around Hummocks’ goal circle allowed them to take the lead out to 15 at the break. Hamley WA Cara Briscoe and Hummocks WD Jess Hogan performed well for their respective teams. Hummocks 19 - Hamley 4. Hummocks was again the stronger team. Hamley’s defence fought hard, making the game contested despite the score. Hamley’s goalie’s placement in the ring enabled them to get on the board. Excellent work by Hummocks girls, GK Nikki Beall and WD Jess Hogan. Hummocks 40 - Hamley 10. The Hummocks girls converted the first two goals. With accurate shooting from Hamley’s GS Stacey Hewitt, Hamley took the next score, continuing to defend and attack well, but Hummocks still took charge to lead by 48 at the end of the third; Hummocks 62 - Hamley 14. Hamley’s defence tightened, slowing Hummocks down at the start of the final quarter. Hummocks’ consistency, with GA Sascha Tiller moving quickly and shooting

ZAE Veitch, Hummocks passes to teammate, Amelia Cicolella (right), while Hamley’s Tyler Powell and Madeleine Lamont defend around the circle in C2. accurately, helped pull the lead back out. Hummocks came away with the win, 82 to Hamley’s 17 goals. A4: Third-placed Hummocks took the honours, defeating Hamley 55-24. Both teams began slowly, finding it hard to get to the goal circle, with a lot of the play being in the middle of the court. Hummocks settled first, finding a few more goals, Tess Lawson and Ruth Martin shooting well, giving their team the lead at quarter time. Hummocks 13 - Hamley 3. The Hamley girls were very physical in the second, making Hummocks work hard to get the ball.

Both teams came out strong in the third quarter, with Hamley’s GA Cassandra Bell finding good spaces, and along with Ellen Heinze began to find a few goals. This was a much more even quarter. Hummocks 35 - Hamley 18. The final quarter continued with an even contest, with Hummocks coming out on top. The game was paused with five minutes to go due to the ANZAC remembrance. The game then continued, with Hummocks being the stronger team. Final score: Hummocks 55 - Hamley 24. A5: This match produced a close result, Hummocks just sneaking away with a win over the Mallala Away team.

Natalie May, in WD for Hummocks picked up some loose balls. Mallala GA Jodie Wilson moved and shot well. Hummocks 16 - Mallala Away 15. Hummocks missed some close shots,

but rebounded well to retain play and capitalise with goals. Mallala goalies worked well together and shot well when opportunities arose. A wet ball proved a challenge for both teams, with lots of loose balls and passes through ready hands. Hummocks C Sharon Moulds played well, as did Mallala GS Nicky Graham. Hummocks 27 - Mallala Away 21. Mallala began the final quarter well with uncontested passes, to shoot the first goal. Hummocks’ defence worked well to rebound and turn the ball over. Mallala WA Katie Lowery demonstrated fantastic skills. Hummocks GK Kimberley Hoepner performed well, along with GD Kathy Nicholls. Final score: Hummocks 38 - Mallala 31. A well contested game, made more difficult by the conditions. Loose balls meant the match could have been anyone’s. B grade: Hummocks pulled away early to earn a 43-goal win.

The third quarter continued to be all Hummocks’ way, with the wet conditions not affecting their skills. Hummocks C Merridy Nicholls worked hard to create turnovers for her team. Hamley kept fighting, taking any opportunities they had to score, but the Hummocks girls were playing like a well-oiled machine. Hummocks 41 - Hamley 9. Hummocks again opened the quarter strongly, with both goalies continuing to shoot well. Final score: Hummocks 57 Hamley 14.

Strong defence and attack from Hamley kept Hummocks scoreless. Hamley GA Madeleine Lamont performed well for her team. Hummocks 0 - Hamley 3. Changes in their attacking line-up saw

more opportunities for Hummocks to score, being well supported by tenacious leading and feeding from Haylee Studham.

In Memoriam

Karsten - Bruce Allan. 01/05/2009. It has been 2 years and not a day goes by without me missing you so much. It has been a struggle for me, emotionally and raising four kids by myself. It would have been our 20th wedding anniversary in June and we had so much still with our life together, but it was tragically taken away from us. The boys are growing up so much, they miss you terribly and Hannah has achieved her goal and you would be so proud of her. Bruce, I know you are looking down on us and everyday is hard without you by my side. Even thou I have achieved lots of things since you passed away, I would gladly give it all back to have you in my life. Love you always Anita, Hannah, Oliver, Tobias & Caleb.

Heart-stoppers! Eagles deny valiant Bombers Charging home with five last quarter goals, Hummocks-Watchman snatched an unlikely win over Hamley Bridge, when 18-year-old Shane McGuiness kicked the match-winner with just 90 seconds remaining. The four point victory keeps the Eagles on top of the ladder, after four weeks of Adelaide Plains football. “We definitely got out of jail,” Hummocks-Watchman coach Nathan Young said. “Hamley Bridge played pretty well and deserved to win. “After we kicked the first two goals of the game, they took control in the first half. “We were playing catch-up football and we were lucky in the end.” The Bombers were 46 points up at the main break, and still just under five goals up at lemons, but looked to have used all their petrol tickets by the start of the last quarter. In the back pocket in the first half and then moved to the middle from the long break, Lee Belperio instigated plenty of drive, while Shaun Light became a goal target at centre half forward after half time, with four goals. Dave Oswald gave the victors plenty of drive from half back and on the wing, with the experienced pair

of Ricky Mackereth and Joel Wilson were critical to the Eagles rejuvenation in the second half. Shane Braham had a number of telling touches, while the Forrest cousins, Tom and Tim were influential. For the unlucky Bombers, Justin Schahinger was the best big man on the ground, giving his on-ballers first use of the footy. Josh Moody continues to win a lot of the ball at the stoppages and captain Tommy Smith displayed his leadership qualities in his return game. Rhys Savage, another member of the leadership group, Craig Allen and former state under 16s player Adam Pepe all produced significant games for the Bombers. Shane Catterall and Brett Burgess were good targets in attack with 10 goals between them, with the latter claiming a match-high haul of seven goals.

Magpies grab thriller …but Griffiths injury sours victory In a second heart-stopper, 2010 premiers Malalla held on by two points in a game that was tough and close all day. Brian Montgomery’s fourth goal on the final siren gave the Magpies a second win of the season over a young Two Wells side, but celebrations tempered for the visitors after key forward Brad Griffiths endured a season ending knee injury early in the second quarter. Only eight points separated these combatants at half time, with Mallala up at this point. When the siren started to begin the last quarter, the Roosters held a slight three point advantage. “Griffiths’ injury certainly affected team moral, and with

losses to key back men as well, we were shuffling players around everywhere,” Mallala mentor Keith Earl said. “Two Wells were good, with their tackling and intensity being great. “I thought we dominated, having a lot of the footy in the last quarter, but kicking seven points in a row nearly did us in.” Around the ball Joel Montgomerie, Jason Earl and Liam Whitwell were important contributors for Malalla. Daniel Chadwick played a strong game as the Magpies stand alone ruckman on the day. Both wingmen Sam Angus and Brad Hardie were among the more consistent performers as well. Brian Montgomery (four

goals) lived every kid’s dream of kicking the game’s match winner and certainly played a considerable role as well, while Daniel Feeley chimed in with two. In this encounter the experience of Ned Seccafien, the classy left footer Lee Allmond and Kahn Leighton came to the fore. Andrew Hardiman collected four goals in a strong personal effort while Ben Spiteri was at the bottom of the packs winning the hard ball. Eamon Fetherstonhaugh also had an impact on proceedings.

Both the Junior Football Panel needs to get serious and clubs need to genuinely decide to support their panel reps, or disband it and stop pretending to want what’s best for junior footy.
