The new Two Wells Big changes over 15 years in proposed town centre redesign

DISTRICT Council of Mallala (DCM) has released draft development guidelines for the main street of Two Wells, as well as a 15-year draft staging diagram. Following extensive community consultation, including a recent survey showing strong support for the development of the existing Two Wells town centre, council is confident in moving forward on the project. With funding from the State government’s Better Places for People Program and DCM, consultants from JPE Design Studio and WAX Design reviewed the original planning framework and developed

By Les Pearson detailed guidelines for the main street of Two Wells. DCM district planner, Henri Mueller, said the objective was to develop design guidelines and desired character statements to ensure the existing town centre can accommodate a growing community in a manner that retains the historic country township character of Two Wells – a key message gained from the community. “It’s as asset and this will build on it being known for its country township

character,” Mr Mueller said. The development of the town centre is aligned to the anticipated population growth to the north of Two Wells as outlined in the state’s 30 Year Plan for Greater Adelaide The project also builds upon the previous Two Wells Urban Design Framework Project (2006), focusing specifically on the main street precinct and the development of a new market place, to be located on the police block, adjacent the library. Mr Mueller said the guidelines would enable council and prospective developers to work together to ensure the Two Wells

main street grows in a way that respects the existing qualities of the area, with an integrated approach that considers how appropriate development may fit within the main street framework. A community information session about the design guidelines will be held from 7-9pm next Wednesday, June 15, at the Two Wells Football Club as an opportunity to find out more about the Main Street Design Guidelines and how they will be used to inform the future growth of the town centre. n Hickinbotham Homes “Placemaking” report, Page 4

NEWS v District

Skate park to get rolling WORK on Balaklava’s skate park has been predicted to begin within four months. Wakefield Regional Council community development officer, David Woodroofe, said he and infrastructure services manager, David Hassett, recently met with a contractor who constructed the Port Broughton and Bute skate parks and was due to start building the Laura park soon. A sign has also been erected in the area where the park will be going. Mr Woodroofe said the contractor inspected the site and confirmed he would do the project. “He is coming up with some designs based on his experience and the size of the area we have,” Mr Woodroofe said. Once the plans have been submitted, Mr Woodroofe and Mr Hassett will travel to Laura to see the contractor’s work. “As soon as he’s finished, we will get him to start the park here.” Of the $100,000 budget for the Balaklava park, $50,000 came through a grant from the Department of Recreation and Sport, $35,000 support has been factored into WRC’s budget, with the remaining $15,000 to be raised by the committee as cash and in-kind works. Mr Woodroofe said the skate park committee had already raised $5000. A further $5000 must be raised before the project is finished, with quiz nights and auctions possible fundraising events in the near future. “I’m hoping by the end of September to early October work will be up and running,” he said.

Paper delayed

“KEEP the noise down kids” – not this time, Mr Hahesy! Balaklava Primary School students form a guard of honour to applaud and farewell retiring bus driver John Hahesy. – PICTURE: Lisa Redpath.

End for those Hahesy days on the school bus The wheels on the bus no longer go round and round for local bus driver John Hahesy. For 25 years, John has been driving a bus for both Horizon Christian School and Balaklava high school students. Having driven all over the region over the last 25 years, his most recent route was to Wild Horse Plains and back. John was sad to drive the bus

Sally Crowther reports:

for the last time on Tuesday May 31, but was grateful for the last 25 years. “It had it’s ups and downs. You had to drop everything you were doing at 3.15pm. But I got to watch the kids grow up, I knew them all by their first names and knew their parents too,” John said.

Reminiscing on the last 25 years, John said there were definitely many memorable moments. From being locked out of the bus while the kids tooted the horn, to a young boy who projectile vomited, spraying 10 kids. “I needed to hose the bus off after that incident,” John chuckled. The idea of no longer driving the bus was difficult for John, but

Light Council moves to stimulate Wasleys

Light Regional Council (LRC) is taking action to assist the township of Wasleys and its community. Wasleys residents Tom and Glenys Laintoll recently made a plea for the council to assist in organising a community meeting for residents, in the hope enough interest would be raised to form a progress association to kick start the town. Acting LRC chief executive officer, Nathan Cunningham, said council would assist in any way possible. Representatives of the Strategy, Projects and Engineering Department recently visited the town assessing local issues council could address. “We noted some amenity upgrades around the main street and the oval and recreational precinct. Consideration of funding these will occur through 2011/12 budget deliberations,” Mr Cunningham said. Mr Cunnigham also revealed council

and its staff were aware of the recent change in circumstances for the general store and post office, and have started a process of review to determine options to provide support to the town. As positives for Wasleys, Mr Cunningham pointed to two housing developments occurring within the town. “These will stimulate the local fabric as well as its economy,” said Mr Cunningham, who added council had been working together with the development industry to ensure timely release of land. There were new public open space facilities associated with the initial stages of Ridley Mill estate. Local State MP for Light, Tony Piccolo, also held discussions with a number of parties to explore if some additional land can be released for development, without impacting negatively on the surrounding farming community. “Additional development in the town to reach a minimum critical mass

of population is important if services are to be attracted and sustainable,” Mr Piccolo said. Further enhancements are to occur in proximity to the Wasleys oval and tennis courts through subsequent development stages. With the Wasleys post office not yet running to its full capacity, Mr Piccolo believed it would not be far off. “I am advised Australia Post has accepted a tender and the successful tenderer will be advised and announced shortly,” Mr Piccolo said. Tom Laintoll was thrilled when told of the developments by the Plains Producer. “It sounds like things are finally happening.” Tom said. “The meeting will be beneficial, having everyone in one place, everything out in the open, and hopefully people putting their hands up for positions in the progress association.”

the choice was made easy when the contracts for his buses finished and the only way to continue, due to certain requirements, was to purchase a new bus. “Getting into debt purchasing a new bus is not something I want to do at my age,” John said. With the buses now up for sale, John said he is happy “plugging along” in his workshop as a mechanic.

Up in smoke MALLALA police attending a fire at the rear of a residential premises on Dublin road, Mallala, uncovered an alleged illegal drug operation which was destroyed by the fire. Police discovered a fabricated steel truck canopy had been totally destroyed by fire after they arrived about 1am on Thursday, June 2. An iron lean-to next to the pantec and a fibreglass boat and building material stored under the lean-to also were destroyed. Mallala CFS extinguished the fire and police then discovered a hydroponic set-up in the pantec where two cannabis plants were being cultivated. All of the hydroponic equipment was destroyed. It would appear an electrical fault connected with the hydroponic equipment caused the fire. A 48-year-old Mallala man, the occupant of the premises, was subsequently interviewed by police and reported for cultivating cannabis and possessing prescribed equipment. He was also issued with an expiation notice for possession.

NEWS v Two Wells

Town link in ‘placemaking’ message HICKINBOTHAM Group’s Two Wells placemaking workshop last Wednesday has been praised by District Council of Mallala chief executive officer, Charles Mansueto. About 130 locals attended the workshop, organised by the Hickinbotham Group as part of their commitment in the Heads of Agreement with the council to engage and inform the community on the proposed residential development. Mr Mansueto said there was a great sense of community inclusion in the development process. “Overall, the session was a great opportunity for the community to input into this development identified in the state’s 30 year Plan for Greater Adelaide,” he said. “Unlike many other developments the community is being brought into the planning stage

rather than at the end of the process where many decisions would have already been made.” During the workshop, varying views came out on perception of Two Wells and the development. Mr Mansueto said common themes on future opportunities included maintaining the town’s rural character, environmental sustainability, educational facilities and public transport. “A key message that was talked about at the workshop was that the communities expectations of additional services, whether physical or soft infrastructure would be difficult to achieve without the population increase,” he said. There was some confusion amongst residents about how the residential development relates to the town centre project. “The workshop also identified

different levels of understanding on the linkage between the Town Centre development and the residential growth area,” Mr Mansueto said. “The two are separate projects but have obvious alignment with each other. ‘The existing population and future residential growth need to have access to enhanced retail and community facilities while the town centre will only be able to attract further investment if there is a population base that will sustain such investment.” Mr Mansueto said DCM is managing the Town Centre Project while Hickinbotham is managing the residential growth to the north of Two Wells town centre through its agreement with council. It is proposed a follow-up session will be held on July 6 to communicate outcomes.

Dancers make ‘Magic Moments’

Star of the North

residents of Mallala Nursing Home recently were entertained by a performance by the Magic Moments Dance Group from Port Parham Sports and Social Club. This dance group was formed three years ago to give locals an opportunity to learn jazz and tap dancing, get fit, have fun and “put a smile on people’s faces!” At the end of each year, the Magic Moments Dance Group holds an end-ofyear concert at Port Parham Sports and Social Club, complete with elaborate costumes all made by the dancers themselves. This year the Group decided to branch out and also periodically perform at various nursing homes in the area. The Mallala event featured two tap numbers and one jazz number set to the music of classic favourites such as “In the Mood” and “New York, New York”.

After my recent story on millipedes, it appears we may have found a natural predator for them after all – yes, mice! We have noticed small rings of millipede shells along with blue (baited) mouse droppings, by our door – a give away! The mice seem to like eating the ‘inside’ of millipedes leaving the little rings. I think I’d rather have the millipedes! And Graham ‘Emu’ Ackland’s water traps have been a big hit around the area, with kids getting in on it too! Tech-man Dan (Buttsy) and some Balaklava High School lads have a water trap on the go with good results being had. And Craig White from Halbury caught 95 in one night. Narelle Michael, living near Halbury, is using a normal trap in her car – and managed to catch 11 in one night. Retired kindergym teacher, Meredith Tiller, of Balaklava, was digging her food scraps into a hole for compost one evening, when she got distracted and went inside, leaving the pile exposed overnight. When Meredith remembered the

Breath test leads to drugs PT Wakefield POLICE stopped a vehicle coming into Port Wakefield for a random breath test last Wednesday. It was discovered there was an outstanding warrant on the driver and he was arrested and taken to Elizabeth, where he was refused bail and remanded in custody. A passenger in the vehicle was also arrested for providing a false name and address and was later bailed. Police then searched the vehicle and found some cannabis and other drug paraphernalia. As a result, three expiation notices and one drug diversion were issued. • A P-plater heading to Port Pirie was lucky to escape serious injury after he fell asleep at the wheel and crashed his vehicle last week, about 10 kilometres south of Port Wakefield. His vehicle drifted off the road and crashed into shrubs on the embankment. MALLALA about 3pm on Tuesday, May 30, Mallala police attended the scene of a serious vehicle collision on Port Wakefield Road, Windsor. A 72-year-old woman from Wild Horse Plains was driving her Ford station wagon north along Port Wakefield Road when she allegedly lost control of the vehicle, resulting in the car rolling onto the western side of the road. The car came to rest on the driver’s side and the female driver became entrapped. Ambulance and CFS personnel at the scene were unable to safely extricate the

n Letters to the Editor n

‘Disheartening’ depot decision Last week’s article in the Plains Producer “Wrangle Over Cash” (June 1) was extremely disappointing for the Port Wakefield community and its volunteers. Correspondence between WRC and the Port Wakefield Community management Committee (PWCMC) re the sale of the council depot and the funds to be made available had brought renewed enthusiasm to the community and volunteers. The thought of having funds to undertake projects not tied to funding grants brought enthusiasm along with opportunities. The about face by council in regard to the possible amount to be received and what is now to be made available was extremely disheartening, to say the least. It would also appear the councillors have set themselves a “new” policy on asset sales. Obviously the recent sales of the residential land in Balaklava and the old Owen Post Office / Senior Citizens building, where a percentage of funds from those sales (less costs) went back as a benefit to those communities, got lost somewhere between amnesia and greed. What will happen to the funds from future community asset sales? Are we talking percentages or will it be dependant on what is sold? One of PWCMCs intentions with the funding was to service a portion of the PW Eagles Sports and Community Centre establishment loan – a community loan. This would have had many community benefits, namely removing the community’s loan liability, the freeing up of funding

for maintenance and improvements on the building, removing the pressure from the volunteers in regard to their never-ending fund raising efforts to service the loan repayments, and equally as important (as had been indicated to Cr Lamond in previous discussions) the reduction or removal of the loan would result in the removal of a financial liability to the council budget (as WRC took the loan out through the LGA on behalf of the community). The removal of that loan and liability would then have a net benefit to all ratepayers. It is also unfortunate council and councillors who often discuss the extra pressure being placed on communities with dwindling volunteer numbers, doing more with less, have missed a great opportunity to assist a community financially, without having to draw on any funds from council coffers. Scott Kelly, Port Wakefield

Reasons behind WRC challenge

I have often been asked as to why I have been challenging Wakefield Regional Council and what my motives are. First, I have always been concerned every area of the council district should be treated fairly and consistently. Below I outline such an unfair treatment. At the council meeting on May 25, a motion by Councillor Lamond was passed in relation to decreasing the amount of $50,000, budgeted for in the 2010/2011 council budget, down to $15,000 to go the Port Wakefield Community Management Committee (PWCMC).

The budgeted amount of $50,000 was to come from the sale of the Port Wakefield Council works depot. Council anticipated, at the time of the budget of receiving a net sale of $85,000. Net proceeds from the sale are now in the vicinity of $124,000. Chief executive officer, Phil Barry, on September 8, 2010, wrote to Port Wakefield CMC advising them council had committed a minimum of $50,000 to the PWCMC, although it could be influenced by the upcoming new term of council in mid2010 and either be decreased or increased. I would have thought this meant had the sale not reached the net sale price of $85,000 it may decrease and if was sold for more, then the funding may increase. The CEO wrote on behalf of council advising the PWCMC the funding was “committed.” I would have thought “committed” was a genuine commitment from the CEO and councillors. Why would any communityminded councillor vote to decrease funding to a community group when funding had been committed in the budget? It may well be legal but what has occurred doesn’t make it morally right. Is this a case of we give today and take it away tomorrow? How can any community group now be confident money allocated in the council budget will ever be received by them? Councillor Lamond, at the council meeting, stated he was not happy and never had been happy with how Balaklava Town Hall receives nearly $20,000

every year, apparently without any accountability. Will this community group be the next to be targeted and have their funding decreased? Councillor Lamond also was quite passionate a skate park for youth of Balaklava was not required, as there was no interest by the community. May I point out a presentation was made to council by the Balaklava Area Committee’s Skate Park sub committee in March, 2010. Although the councillors have a right to their opinions, this type of negative comment must be very disheartening for those attempting to do something positive for their communities. Second, I always have been concerned about the careful management of money. Here are two examples of what I believe to be questionable costs: 1. Since January 2009 – April 27, 2010, council has spent more than $200,000 in court costs and seeking legal advice. 2. One consultant was paid a $296,659 lump sum, as per the contract for the supervision and preparation of the Port Wakefield Community Wastewater Management Scheme from start to finish. This has now somehow blown out to $487,655.97, an extra $180,996.97. For those who believe council is operating satisfactorily, that is their prerogative. But I will continue to challenge and question what I believe to be wrong for the benefit not only for Port Wakefield but all of the Wakefield Regional Council area. Richard Pain, Port Wakefield.

community “placemaking” meeting in Two Wells last Wednesday, June 1. If you were at that meeting, I ask you to seriously consider what really happened. The representative asked the meeting “What they would like to see in the new housing subdivision?” People came up with ideas like parks, gardens, walkways, wide roads, reticulated water and the like. All great ideas! However, they also mentioned shopping, education, health care, civic amenities, aged care facilities etc. Hang on! Aren’t these the things we want to retain in the existing town. The representative kept saying the meeting was about the new subdivision not the existing town development. By telling the developer we want them in

the recent council survey, more than 70per cent wanted to retain the shopping development in the existing town. We want a new housing development not a new town. We want extended shopping etc in the existing township. Make your voice heard before it is too late. Bob Dyer, Two Wells.

Shocked over complaint

My husband and I are in a state of disbelief having just been made aware by police they have had a complaint put to them regarding our driving along Davies road adjoining our property in Halbury. The road in question is a public road and over the nearly 14 years we have lived here, we have traversed it more times than

our fence line and to just admire the trees we have planted in our paddock along the fence line. Yes, I suppose these things can be done from within our property and we have done so on many occasions, but the main point of our bewilderment is the fact this road is a public road and therefore we are not breaking the law in any way shape or form by using it. Given we have lived here longer than any of our neighbours who now live along the road, we cannot understand what the problem could possibly be with us using the road. What is the world coming to when a simple act like traversing on a public road more than once is cause for suspicion? Name and address supplied

THE annual MS Readathon has kicked off this month, as Balaklava high school students get ready to empty the bookshelves. The MS Readathon involves kids reading as many books as they can for 30 days in June and July, raising money for people living with MS. Head of English at Balaklava High, Kerry Williams, said the students are eager to get started. “They saw a story on (TV program) Sunrise where a school got a large

number of kids involved, and our students are hoping to beat it,” Kerry said. The school is encouraging as many students as possible to be involved. Most of the year 8s and 9s have registered. Everyone who completes the program will receive their own certificate of appreciation. There is also an added bonus for participating schools. Eligible schools have a chance to win up to $10,000 in Apple products. They will also get 10

per cent off the amount raised returned to them in Target gift cards. Kerry said they plan to raise as much money as they can to go towards the combined target for SA and NT of $150,000. This then goes towards the Australia wide target of 1.5 million. With numbers of those involved not yet finalised, either way it appears books are flying out the library. Keira James, librarian at Balaklava Community library, said: “We are noticing an increased number of students

coming in to collect books.” Keira believes an activity such as the MS readathon is a great way to get kids to broaden their reading list. “Anything that encourages kids to read and rewards them for it, is a good thing,” Keira said. Registrations are still open.

Unravelling secrets of Bumbunga Focus on aboriginal life around lake LOCHIEL’S famous Bumbunga Lake will be the site of a special archaeological study next month. Flinders University Department of Archaeology researcher, Dr Keryn Walshe, will be visiting with cultural tourism expert, Quentin Agius, studying various aspects of Aboriginal life around the lake. Dr Walshe said she would contact landowners with property backing onto the lake for permission to access some former archaeological sites recorded in previous studies. Some other sites are accessible through Crown land.

Les Pearson reports: Dr Walshe will be looking for former campsites, food debris and rock tools, commonly seen around the lake. She said the investigation will hopefully paint a clearer picture of how Aboriginal people used the land and lived in centuries gone by. With 25 years experience studying Aboriginal archaeology, Dr Walshe said it has been an enlightening journey so far. “Because it interested me, I started to study it fully and it just progressed from there,” she said.

It has been hard to define the line between work and hobby over the years. “I would go on holidays and pick destinations I knew were of interest and spend more time looking at the ground, so it does make it hard,” Dr Walshe explained. “It does tend to take over your life.” Despite the best part of a lifetime’s work in this specific field, there is still much more to learn. “There’s an enormous amount we haven’t even scratched the surface on, particularly in South Australia,” Dr Walshe said. “Anything we find out there is going to help.”

Better service the new health promise Mount Laura Lions club member and internet administrator, Don Van Weezep, leads a session in Tarlee.

Tarlee hosts Lions clubs

Incoming presidents, secretaries, and treasurers from within Lions club’s C1 District, were invited to a training seminar held at Tarlee recently. Hosted by Gilbert Valley Lions Club, the training was conducted by experienced Lions who passed on their knowledge of the organisation to enable new office bearers to be better equipped when they assume office in various clubs on July 1. Although some clubs are struggling with an aged membership, new clubs are being formed with younger members, which is increasing the overall membership, in Australia, and on a world wide basis. Community minded men and women, 18 years and over are invited to contact their nearest Lions club for

more information. Local Lions clubs – Gilbert Valley, Balaklava and Districts, Snowtown and Mallala always welcome new members. Contact John Tayler, of Gilbert Valley Lions, on 8528 5306, Kossie Chegwyn, of Balaklava Lions, on 8862 2067, Geoff Donlan, of Mallala Lions, 8522 7212 and Keith Welke, Snowtown Lions, 8865 2002. Incoming District Governor, Lyn Shoemark, will attend the International Convention of Lions Clubs, in Seattle, USA, for her induction with 18 other District Governors from Australia. Highlight of the convention will be the expected election of the first international second vice president from Australia. Past International Director, Barry Palmer, of Sydney.

THE Mid North Division of General Practice will help form one of the first 19 Medicare Locals to be getting under way as of July this year. It will be working with the Barossa, Eyre Peninsula, Flinders and Far North and Yorke Peninsula divisions to provide the service. This follows the Federal government’s announcement of the first steps in the health reform process. It is envisaged Medicare Locals will reflect the range of organisational expertise needed to deliver an expanded suite of programs and services within defined Medicare Local boundaries and population catchments. Such combinations are expected to include Divisions of General Practice and, depending on the local community and range of other primary health care organisations and services, an Aboriginal Medical Service, a Primary Care Partnership, allied health service, nongovernment service provider and other appropriate organisations. Mid North Division of Rural Medicine CEO, Kim Hosking, said it was an historic time for health reform in Australia, in which the

Federal government has allocated $477 million over four years to establish a network of Medicare Locals across the country. “The consortium of the five northern South Australia country divisions responded to a very competitive process to determine the first 19 Medicare Locals for Australia,” she said. “This initiative for health reform is moving towards better co-ordinated local out of hospital care for the benefit of consumers, patients and providers. “Medicare Locals are designed to ensure the right health services are available at the right time and with the right provider through enhanced levels of support to general practice, allied health, nursing and other health professionals “Our aim within the Medicare Local model of care is that consumers and patients will start to experi-

ence a system of health care that is simpler to use, easier to navigate and with greater access to services than ever before. “This is about a holistic approach to primary health care that enables patients and consumers to more easily use the services available and to get better access to those services. “The consortium of country north and west divisions (the ‘Flinders Medicare Local) is wellplaced to establish this region’s Medicare Local, given the strong partnerships and enhanced health service delivery. “Over time, consumers will see an increase in preventative health programs and primary health service opportunities available to them, geared around keeping people healthier within their local communities and keeping people out of hospital.”

Geoff built his life on family and friendship

Geoff Rowland, a well-known Balaklava identity, passed away on Tuesday, May 10, aged 84 years. Geoffrey Brian was born to Roy and Sybil Rowland on April 24, 1927, and was the third of four children. His first few years were spent residing on the family farm named ‘The Olives’ near Yankalilla. In 1936, at the age of 9, Geoff and the family moved to Strathalbyn to farm the property known as ‘Angus Bank’. It was here, in these formative years he grew to appreciate the open spaces farm life provided. Geoff, wherever he went, made lifelong friends. In 1944, Geoff began his working career in Strathalbyn as a stock-agent for Goldsbrough Mort. On May 13, 1945, Geoff joined the armed forces at the age of 18 and relocated to Darwin. After the war, Geoff returned to Golds-

= OBITUARY Geoffrey Brian Rowland brough Mort in Adelaide, and then transferred to Murray Bridge in 1948. Geoff first met his wife to be, Fay, in Murray Bridge, where his work mates were trying to entice Fay to cross the road and meet them. They were later married on September 23, 1950 at the Presbyterian Church at Murray bridge. Fay and Geoff moved to Apsley near Naracoorte in 1951, where their first son, Roy, was born. The family then moved to Pooraka after the death of Geoff’s father. It was here they purchased a poultry farm. Their next son Kym, was born in 1954, and the twins, David and Greg, followed in 1959. After working on the poultry farm for seven years, Geoff sold the farm and started

GEOFF and Fay Rowland his goat stud, Kyim. Later on, Geoff, along with his brother-inlaw Lance, purchased Bansemere’s Balaklava Hardware store on December 22, 1962.

In 1970, Fay and Geoff took full ownership, and later sold the store in August 1987. Geoff contributed greatly in the community. He was the treasurer of Mill Court for 10 years, the bowling club and social committee for 17 years and a period with the golf club social committee. In his earlier days, Geoff enjoyed table tennis, basketball, cricket and especially football, with his photo still on the wall in the clubrooms today. Along with his children and grandchildren, another proud milestone for Geoff was his 60-year marriage to Fay. Geoff is survived by his wife Fay, sons and daughters in law, Roy and Heather, Kym and Kate and David and Jenny and grandchildren, Natalie, Shane, Tracy, Isaac, Alan, Emily, Ashley, Emily, Jed and Sam. Another son, Greg, was diagnosed with leukaemia and passed away, aged 7 in 1966.

SPECTACULAR long track motor cycle action coming to Kapunda.

Kapunda gears for bike action

Kapunda is planning for a major sporting event next January. The 2012 South Australian Long Track Motorcycle Speedway Championships will be held at the Dutton Raceway on Sunday, January 22. Long Track Racing is seen by many as the most spectacular form of Australian dirt track racing. High speeds of 160kmh are regularly achieved at long track venues around the world, and promoters believe Kapunda’s 817 metre track is cable of producing speeds beyond this. Northern Track Promotions is organising the event. Part owner, Neil Burston, said: “We are really excited about this and are happy with the Kapunda complex. “We are hoping this will be just the beginning of a long, and mutually beneficial association with the Kapunda Harness Racing Club,” Mr Burston said. The meeting will be held on January 22 to try to lure some of

Australia’s best international riders, who will already be in the state for the Australian 500cc Motorcycle Speedway Championship at Gillman Speedway the night before. People will also be attracted to the fact they can see the best speedway and long track meetings in the state on the one weekend. “The complex has good facilities for riders, sponsors and spectators alike and is easily within an hour of Adelaide via the Northern Expressway, so has the scope to be fantastic for the Kapunda District and surrounding areas,” Mr Burston said. Organisers are looking for businesses who may be interested in selling food at the event and any other businesses who may want to advertise at the meet. For more information go to the Northern Track Promotions website, www.northerntrackpromotions.com or call the event organisers, Neil Burston on 0408 315 703 or Geoff Brown on 0428 897 981.

Sally Crowther reports: offered to full time students who are currently studying, or about to start, an undergraduate degree at university in a health-related discipline. Health disciplines in these scholarships include nursing, allied health, medicine and business. After graduation, recipients work in a country health service for a term equal to the length of their scholarship. This year, the Undergraduate and Professional Entry Scholarships were awarded to 25 students who have been provided with $5,000 per annum for up to four years.

Jane Harding was one of these recipients. “It was a great feeling when I found out I had won the scholarship, it’s great to have so much support behind me,” Jane said. Jane received the news she had won the scholarship just before University started in March. “I was very surprised, especially since it was the whole of South Australia,” Jane said. Jane found out about the scholarship through a friend who won a similar award several years before. She then had to fill out an application form and write an essay. Since starting studying in March, Jane has moved from Balaklava to the city to make travelling easier.

With a four year course ahead of her, Jane is currently in her first year and enjoying it so far. “I’m loving it so far, however it’s also challenging after returning to study after a gap year,” Jane said. Jane said she has always been interested in pharmacy and is currently working at Balaklava Chemplus. When asked about her dream job, Jane is undecided. “I still can’t decide whether I want to be working in a community pharmacy or as a hospital pharmacist,” Jane said. Even though Jane is unsure of an exact job title, she is excited to complete her Bachelor of Pharmacy degree and see where it takes her.

End is near for traffic stopper Roundabout at Willaston intersection Traffic around Gawler is set to flow more freely following a State government announcement funding for the “Willaston roundabout” has been included in the budget to be handed down on Thursday. Residents of the Adelaide Plains who travel to Gawler and beyond via the northern town entrance will appreciate the planned upgrade of the notorious intersection which causes many delays and is dangerous. Construction of the $2.8 million roundabout follows years of lobbying by local State Member of Parliament, Tony Piccolo. Construction will begin in the coming financial year, with $800,000 in the 2011-12 State Budget and $2 million set aside in the 2012-13 budget. Mr Piccolo said he was pleased with the announcement as the roundabout will improve both traffic flows and road safety around the northern parts of Gawler. “It has been a long battle to get the roundabout funded, but it has been

n LIGHT MP, Tony Piccolo, is all smiles over the promised roundabout. worth it – persistence has paid off,” Mr Piccolo said. Mr Piccolo said construction of the roundabout was part of a threepronged strategy to improve traffic movements around the township. “I have always maintained no single strategy will improve traffic flows around Gawler,” he said. Mr Piccolo said traffic needed to be tackled by improving the existing road network, building new roads where appropriate, and reducing car usage by improving public transport.

“I am pleased to say t all three strategies are being utilised at the moment to improve traffic in the town,” he said. In another important budget announcement, the state Government has allocated $500,000 for the planning of the south east connector to service the new Gawler East development and existing traffic from the east. Transport Minister, Patrick Conlon, said when coupled with the introduction of Adelaide Metro buses to Gawler in late July this year, the

announcements reflected the biggest single investment in traffic improvements for decades. “These three announcements are considered together they demonstrate this State government is commitment to improving the wellbeing of the Gawler community,” Minister Conlon said. Mr Conlon said the State Government is ensuring the infrastructure is in place to support not only the planned growth for the town but also tackling existing traffic issues.

Healthy tips target men and boys Men and boys in the Yorke and Lower North area are being encouraged think about ways they could improve their health as part of Men’s Health Week, which starts on Monday, June 13. Gary Stewart, Director of Yorke and Lower North Health Services, Country Health SA, said Men’s Health Week was an opportunity for men and boys to acknowledge the health issues they could face and find ways to improve their health. “While life expectancy is increasing in men, many of the risk

factors that cause chronic diseases remain prevalent,” he said. “You can reduce your risk of developing diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, lung cancer, bowel cancer and stroke by visiting your local doctor and asking for a health check. “This may involve blood tests to check cholesterol and blood sugar levels, height, weight and blood pressure, eye and ear checks and skin lesion and mole checks. “Health checks can be an opportunity to discuss issues like

exercise, weight reduction, healthy eating and managing stress. “There are many changes you can make to improve your health, such as giving up smoking, exercising regularly for at least 30 minutes a day, maintaining a health weight and eating a healthy, balanced diet.” As part of the Federal government’s new ‘SWAP IT, DON’T STOP IT’ campaign, men are encouraged amongst several tips to “swap big for small, don’t overcrowd your plate and swap fried food for fresh.” www.plainsproducer.com.au

AUSTRALIA’S obesity epidemic is spreading to pets with a leading veterinarian warning that weight-related illness was becoming one of the biggest threats to our animals’ wellbeing Managing Director of VetShopAustralia. com.au, Dr Mark Perissinotto, said many Australians were literally killing their pets with kindness. “Pet obesity can shave two to five years off your pet’s life and lead to a myriad of health problems such as heart disease, pancreatitis, diabetes, arthritis, respiratory conditions and cancer,’’ he said.

From here it flowed along Wallace St. to Nancarrow’s corner before running away towards the saleyards.

Driver was way over the limit

TWO WELLS •A 72-year-old Two Wells man was reported by Two Wells police on Thursday for exceeding the speed limit and being over the prescribed concentration of alcohol after a vehicle he was driving was stopped on Hayman road, Two Wells. The speed of 120 km/h was well in excess of the 80km/h speed limit along that portion of road and was the reason he was stopped. Further investigation revealed the man had been consuming liquor and recorded a breath analysis result of 0.124. The man had his vehicle seized and his licence suspended for six months. •Police reported a 46-year-old Lewiston man for being over the prescribed concentration of alcohol after he was stopped on Boundary Road, Lewiston, for a mobile random breath test last Wednesday. Police allege the man was driving over the prescribed concentration of alcohol reading of 0.165. MALLALA Mallala police, with the assistance of Two Wells police, arrested a 21-year-old Owen man for assault and three counts of property damage to two vehicles and a mobile phone on Wasleys road, Mallala about 12.30pm, last Wednesday. The arrest came about as a result of an alleged domestic dispute between the accused man and his estranged female partner. The offences allegedly occurred at Owen on May 23 when the he assaulted his then partner. The woman sustained minor injuries as a result of the assault. The man was subsequently bailed to later appear in Elizabeth Magistrates Court. The suspect was also issued a traffic infringement notice for breaching a condition of his Learner’s Permit and the vehicle he was driving was defected for major faults.

Gold, copper hunt near Wakefield PRECIOUS metal and uranium exploration company Marmota Energy Limited, has announced the launch of its maiden exploration program on the West Melton copper and gold project, about 20 kilometres north west of Port Wakefield. The West Melton project is located on northern Yorke Peninsula, immediately adjoining Marmota’s Melton project. Marmota managing director, Dom Calandro, said a high-resolution airborne geophysical survey over the 100 per cent owned West Melton copper-gold project in South Australia will begin soon. “We know through historical data large regional structures start in the Melton project and go across under the West Melton project,” Mr Calandro said. The potential strike length of this significant anomaly is about 10 kilometres. Following data collection and analysis, drilling is expected to take place next year, which will provide a more conclusive guide on the potential of the West Melton tenement.

Community groups help kids ‘grow’ A special gardening project at Two Wells Primary School is reaping rewards for its students and the wider community. The Community Connections Project began last year with a small group of dedicated teachers, support staff and community members seeking to engage at-risk students in their learning. The group sought the help of local community groups including the Two Wells Rotary Club, Neighbourhood Watch and the Two Wells and Lewiston Landcare Group, as well as the Rotary Club of Playford, to establish their project. They also visited other schools in the area with similar programs. “The excitement from the students and ourselves was enormous,” project secretary Michelle Renaglia explained. “We realised from this that the project had the potential to help students far beyond what we expected and watching students at

Paid Parental Leave: What employers need to know

n ainsley Hill, Balaklava and Pauline Hatch, Two Wells tussle for the ball in A6.

On 1 January 2011, Australia’s first national Paid Parental Leave scheme was introduced. It’s a new entitlement for working parents, funded by the Australian Government. Taking time away from work for a new baby is a common part of working life. Paid Parental Leave will help employers retain skilled staff and help parents spend time with their new baby. What is Paid Parental Leave? Eligible working parents of children born or adopted on or after 1 January 2011 may get 18 weeks Governmentfunded pay at the National Minimum Wage, currently $570 a week before tax, to help them care for a new child. What do I need to do? From 1 July 2011, you must provide Parental Leave pay to your long-term employees. These are employees who have been with your business for at least 12 months before the expected date of the birth or adoption of their child. The Family Assistance Office will contact you to initiate this process.

Your role in the scheme can start earlier if you and your employee agree. You can contact the Family Assistance Office for more information. How do I pay my employee? The Family Assistance Office will advance you funds to pay your employee. You can receive these funds in three instalments or fortnightly. You don’t have to change your employee’s usual pay cycle, set up any special bank accounts or report back to the Family Assistance Office. You just have to pay the Parental Leave pay to your employee with the usual tax deducted. You will not need to make superannuation contributions on Parental Leave pay. It will not increase your payroll tax liability or workers compensation premiums.

What about existing entitlements? The Government’s Paid Parental Leave scheme will help employers enhance the family friendly workplace conditions many already offer. Paid Parental Leave pay is provided in addition to existing employer-funded paid parental leave schemes. The existing minimum entitlement to 12 months unpaid parental leave for long-term employees is unchanged. Eligible parents can receive Parental Leave pay at the same time, before or after other employer-provided paid leave or entitlements.

n BEC Pym, Two Wells looks down the court during the A1 match against Balaklava.

What should employees do? Employees can apply up to three months before the expected birth or adoption. If your staff need help, you can direct them to the website or phone numbers below. Employees are encouraged to apply early.

Tigers’ pride hurt Mallala thumps United at home A grade

Mallala produced their best football of the season on Saturday, to destroy United by 82 points – a far cry from the one point that separated these same teams only last month. A solid four-quarter effort saw Mallala increase their lead at every change. The crowd began to wonder if it was going to be another one goal - eight behinds first quarter as it was the week before when Mallala opened the scoring with three behinds, two of them ‘posters’. Mallala had most of the play but proved wasteful. Then when Chad Spurr chipped in with a goal, United had the lead. It was to be one of United’s few highlights for the day. After that it was all Mallala. Will Banton was winning in ruck but that was where it ended for the Tigers. The Mallala midfield continually won the clearances and constantly pushed forward. Brent ‘Plugger’ Harris was a focal point in attack. Nathan Hornhardt, Joel Montgomerie, Jason Earl and Christian Rimmer were in red hot form for Mallala. United’s Will Banton and Mark Pym were the pick of the Tigers. The nine-point quarter time lead soon blew out to what looked like a match-winning lead, with a five-goal-to-nothing second quarter. Mallala’s ball handling was precise, the

REPORT: By Lindsay Nesbitt passes millimetre perfect and kicks always finding their target. Mallala had winners all over the ground, and some of the goals were sensational. Christian Rimmer’s around-the-body goal was a beauty. Not to be outdone, Daniel Feeley performed the ‘party trick’ goal of the season, a mid-air kick that sailed through for full points. The Mallala defence was well on top, Josh Seal, James Wildbore, Tim Cawrse and Robert Montgomery all winning their positions comfortably. Joel Montgomerie seemed to be everywhere in another best on ground performance. A goal just before half time added to the Tigers woes. Mallala produced another five-goal third term to guarantee a win. United scored just two points in half a game of football. Was this the same United that had beaten ladder leaders Balaklava two weeks earlier? One astute observer rated the Tigers’ effort as their most insipid in the last 30 odd years. A kick to nobody that went out of bounds on the full just about summed up United’s day. Brent Harris booted another two goals in the third term. Joel Montgomerie took the mark of the day, rising high above a pack of players. It was great to watch. After Brent

NATHAN Hornhardt aims for a Magpie goal while Tiger Ben Starr defends during Saturday’s A grade match at Mallala. Harris and David Pontt increased Mallala’s lead, Bradley Shimmin kicked the Tigers’ first goal since the first quarter. Peter Burgoyne made it two in a row for United when he walked into an open goal, with most of the ‘cheers’ coming from the Mallala fans. An awesome display by Mallala, who were right back to their best. Joel Montgomerie was best on ground in another brilliant display of quality football. It genuinely was a case of all played well. United’s Will Banton was easily the one shining light for the Tigers. Mark Pym battled hard, and Ross Sharer, Dylan Gillies, Adrian Mills and Mikey Brown picked up some touches, but had little influence on the match. A few pundits that were thinking of a Balaklava-Virginia grand final might have

to have a rethink after the impressive Mallala performance.

RESERVES

In a game that never reached any great heights as a spectacle, Mallala outgunned United to win by 45 points. Setting up victory in the first quarter when Mallala kicked five goals to United’s one, the ‘Pies were always in control. It was a fitting send-off to Rhys Argent who heads to the snowfields, then overseas. Mallala had winners aplenty early on. Ben Work, James Barr, Scott Gardner, Rhys Argent, Kirk Kirvan, Graham White were all performing well. United was best served by captain Ben Pym. Jesse Crewdson kicked a great ‘snap’goal in the second quarter. A clever mark by Brett

Tucker in the third, and Mallala had all the answers. After relatively even second and third quarters, Mallala reapplied the pressure in the last term, kicking four goals to two. A Nathan Griffiths goal proved popular with the crowd. Daniel Chadwick in ruck was best for Mallala, continually giving the ‘Pies first use of the ball. Rhys Argent, Jamie Speck, Derek Tiller with his five goals, Jase Morgan and Kirk Kirvan all with solid four quarter efforts. United had effective forwards in Adam Pratt with five goals, and the always dangerous David Kaminski. John Mason, Craig Maynard, and Matthew Dickie all played well in a side that was always behind the eightball. The victory consolidates Mallala’s position in third place.

Mallala lads too good for United Senior Colts

By Rick Graham Mallala set up the game style within the first few minutes, sharing the ball around with precision towards the forward line and converting truly. With Mallala forwards Bruggemann and Konzag marking strongly, it was only a case of getting the ball to them to continue scoring. Curnow, Coombe, McIntyre and Lane were all trying to gain possession for United. In the end Mallala were far too strong and posted another win. Better players for Mallala were Lewis Helps and Ben Martin with many possessions. Zac Hallion and Allen Sparks got in and under many contests, Lewis Bruggemann who finished with five goals, and Josh Page at centre half back. For United, Cory Sharer was best, Adam McArdle, Corey Lee-Chapman, Riley Curnow and William Tauchnitz all trying hard.

Mallala continued their unbeaten form for this season with a great display of team football. The young ‘Pies were able to kick truly in the first half to set up the win. Multiple scorers in the first half were Wilson, Goode and Clothier. For United, Pepe, Page, Coombe and Pratt worked hard for the ball. The second half remained a fairly tight contest, although Mallala continued to score. Best players for Mallala were Angus Clothier in the centre gathering many possessions, Josh Watson across the backlines, Brad Wilson at centre half forward and Lachie O’Leary and Jamie Goode floating across the centre. Best players for United included Riley Curnow who gathered many touches, William Tauchnitz, Aiden Wilson, Jared Pratt, Daniel Coombe and Brett Robinson. Plains Producer, Wednesday June 8, 2011

SPORT v District

Can Tigers rekindle fire? ROARING Tigers or tame pussy cats? United may as well have rolled over so Mallala could scratch their tummies on Saturday. With the final four decided already, the Tigers are going to have to rekindle the fire, which helped them roll Balaklava with relative ease only three weeks ago. The excitement of finals football does funny things to the Long Plains faithful, keep your eyes and ears open for their mid-season recruit before the June 30 cut-off. United are known for trying to bolster the senior squad with the scent of finals football lingering, just to cap things off for a red-hot crack. Sources from a neighbouring league are reporting early signs of a June poach-fest, and I agree, sign up anyone you can. A solid senior list is always the key come late August/ early September, and United have the depth of an inflatable backyard pool.

THE BANDWAGON With Rick Shaw

The Tigers are capable of exciting football but to play as a team, you have to train as a team. The A grade is never going to get far with an average turn up of about 10 at a Tuesday night training, with half of them being colts players. To beat the other teams you have to keep up with them, and with a turn up of about 30 players to a Magpies training on a Tuesday and Thursday nights and the Tigers only managing 10, well they’re never going to be competitive and it showed Saturday. • Two Wells and Hummocks-Watchman can start looking to 2012. Injuries to key players have all but ended their seasons. Hamley Bridge remain in the hunt, just, but will have to beat some better teams.

• Landmark Cup this weekend, good luck to all the lads and hopefully the paper can publish the scores from both the senior and junior teams next week. • We’ve had some windy weekends in recent rounds. Tough on the players, but I really feel for the little boundary umpires in the earlier games. Some of the little tackers can barely throw the ball at the best of times and while I’m all for youngsters giving it a go, it might be time where we leave the boundary throwin to the seniors and resort to a simple ball up from the central umpire in the junior grades. • To the round ball game now, and it is State Country Championships time for the netballers.

There is big gossip surrounding the APNA, with coaches stepping down from duties and conflicts of interest within the association, I hear. They wonder why it is known as ‘bitchball’ sometimes, as we all know taking on these jobs is hard enough but the gossip is rife! These coaches take a lot of time out of their life and put a tonne of effort in. Word has it though, some influential ladies believe everyone has their own agenda for their clubs and it should be more about the association. • On A Positive Note: With the late inclusion of some new players and a new coach to the team, the senior girls won’t be taking their strongest side but at this stage, the girls who will be going want to play with whoever coaches and whoever is in the team. These girls just want to play. So to the APNA, I also wish all the teams the best of luck this long weekend.

Undefeated Cats coasting Blyth-Snowtown continued its unbeaten run this year, with a comfortable 53-point victory over an undermanned South Clare side in round seven. Starting strongly, the Cats kicked five goals in the opening term kicking towards the southern end of Clare Oval, and ensured the victory with five unreciprocated goals in the third quarter. “South really tried to bottle the game up, pushing numbers behind the ball which made the game congested,” Cats coach Brett Ireland said.

CATS coach, Brett Ireland “I felt we were always in control and those tactics only made sure it was a relatively low scoring game. “It was a day when we just got the job done. “We’re now undefeated over the first round and that was our goal at the start of the day.” Getting tremendous drive from across half back, the three of the four best players for the game came from the Cats first line of defence Returning junior Kyle Griffin,

REPORT: By Peter Argent former Glenelg and AFL Sydney competition footballer Craig Robinson and Gareth Ottens were all high on the best player lists. Robinson also pushed forward to add three goals to his impressive display. Ryan Darling continued to win a lot of ball through the middle of ground and Scott Walker produced his strongest performance for the season so far. Playing across half forward, Scott Atkinson’s purple patch of form continued with a five-goal haul. He now has 24 goals for the season after round one. In the leadership group, full forward Jarrod Gillings was held to two goals in this contest, but has 28 goals so far this season, being second on the goal kickers list, averaging four a game. Darling also chimed in with a pair of majors. “Besides the guys on the best player list Kiel Kennett gave us plenty of run out of the back pocket, in his best effort for the season so far,” Ireland continued. “Nick McCormack was again industrious around the stoppages. “Taking the next step in his game, Wayne Slattery was dominant in the ruck contests.” 2010 Mail medallist Brodie Murphy was the Demons best, followed by Mark Green and Matt Stone. Midfielder Andrew Vandeleur, Michael Liebelt both up forward, where he kicked four goals and in ruck, along with Sam

The Saints were five points up a half time, and due to the Roosters amazing accuracy, they were still in the contest at lemons, kicking 8.1 to this point. Chris Redemski did a great job in defence, while Rowan Prior and Tyler Friebel won plenty of the ball at the stoppages. Zac Tremaine gave the side plenty of run from half back and Corey Ah Chee gave strong leadership to the group. Clint Voigt was damaging as well, while Richard Schmidt kicked an equal match-high four goals for the victors. Veteran Steve Geister and Mid Murray Mail Medallist Jarrod Mosey both kicked a pair of goals. Ben Coles was the North Clare Roosters best, followed by the even-green Craig Jaeschke, young Will Smith and Brendan Pudney. Nick Prokopec kicked four goals for the Roosters, while the promoted Michael Dopson kicked two. Close match at Burra Boh Wall starred in an interesting tussle at Burra, where the Rams held on to beat Mintaro-Manoora by 11 points. In a low scoring game, BBH’s four goals in the third term, while the Eagles failed to kick one, was the difference between the two teams in the end. The SA Outbacks cricket captain, Wall had a six goal bag in a contest where both sides just kicked 20 majors all game.

Wall was well supported by defender Tim Crick, ruckman Sam Quinn and the reliable Tommy Riggs. In his first year at the club Matt Jackman was constructive, while Casey Cooper played with courage and leadership. Strong built key-position swing man Aaron Ackland was the Eagles best followed by three-goal midfielder and former Mail Medallist Ryan McDermid. Unheralded performer Ricky Piggott, Shawn Gibson, Brad Currie and Ash Winders all had their moments as well.

Heinrich were also serviceable for a well-beaten host team. Hawks keep Tigers winless The RSMU Hawks did enough to beat the winless BSR Tigers at Riverton Oval on Saturday. While the home team didn’t break the game open, they always looked in control at each of the breaks. A 15 point quarter time advantage increased to four goals at the main break, with this eking out a little further to 33 points at lemons. After an even last term, the Hawks won by 32 points. New leader this year Zack Hier continued his stellar start of the season with a four-goal effort. Ruckman Brock Harrison was exceptional, while young Sam Noack had a big impact on the game. Luke Percy gave RMSU run through the middle, with Ben Moreton and James Vandeleur both producing solid efforts. Veteran Paul Meyer was the Tigers best, followed by Matt Thomas, and in a return to form Ashley Burgess. Ben Gill, on-baller Scott Morris and Daniel Justin were all serviceable as well. Consecutive victories for the Saints For the first time in its short history Eudunda/Robertstown enjoyed the pleasure of consecutive victories. Although inaccurate, they had 14 more scoring shots and should have won by more than the eventual 19-point margin.

• From back page In a tough and low scoring contest, Hamley Bridge secured its second win for the year against an injury riddled Eagles combination. The game was close in the first half, with HummocksWatchman leading the contest at the first break by five points, with the Bombers a goal up at the major interval. Hamley’s lead was pushed out to two goals at three quarter time, with the final margin being 15 points after each side kicked a pair of majors in the final term. Ball-magnet Josh Moody continued his outstanding first season in the Adelaide Plains, winning upwards of 35 possessions in a ‘best on ground’ performance. Ruckman and acting captain, Justin Schahinger was the dominant big man in this game, being third best. Both these players have been high among the Bombers’ best players in all seven games this year. Former state underage footballer Adam Pepe was a strong performer at centre half back and can be considered unlucky not to be playing in the association team, while full back Scott Rademacher, running defender Angus Lemmon and on-baller Dylan Lockwood were telling as well. The winners had three dual goal kickers with Andrew Sheath, veteran Brett Burgess and Shane Catterall each slot-

ting through a brace. “It was a pretty emotional game,” best-on-ground Moody said. “We had club sponsors from the Roseworthy roadhouse singing the song after the game and there were plenty of tears flowing. “The side certainly played with that emotion all day.” For the Eagles, captain Matt Higgs was best, followed by Dylan Cicolella and Shane Braham, who kicked two goals. In his first year after coming across from Moonta, Ricky Mackereth won his share of possessions, while Sam Baker in defence and Simon Schutz were the best of the rest. The Eagles debuted 15-yearold Tyler Williams in this contest, and he held his own on the bigger stage.

“Two Wells played a lot of kids, and struggled in key areas in attack and defence. Up forward, Glenn Dawson finished with five goals, while Jono Brice helped himself to four. The former Woodville-West Torrens Eagles and Power listed player (Dawson) is leading the goal kicking in the competition with 36 goals, while Brice is fifth with 24. Through the middle of

Peckers rule the roost

Only able to kick two goals in 100 minutes of football, Two Wells received a 107-point beating from the Peckers on home turf last Saturday. Balaklava controlled all facets of the contest, having a pair of strong targets in attack, winning the majority of the clearances and being frugal in defence. “The first quarter was pretty scrappy, with us kicking three goals to one,” Peckers playing coach Stuart Lamond said. “The game opened up in the second term and in the end we were too strong.

Wingman Jared Cmrlec and teenage utility Ryan McPharlin

Slattery and Eamon Fetherstonhaugh were their best, while Ben Spiteri and Khan Leighton both worked hard against the odds.

A field of 26 players decided to turn up and crack hardy last Saturday, intent on winning either the Finlayson Trophy and/or Langdon’s Shoe Store Trophy, maybe just a golf ball, while the weather held fair, even a bit sunny. The event was staged as a Stableford Aggregate four-ball round, somehow determined by which pair returned with the highest score. Enough of the technicalities already, and on with the vital results: Bill Berry and Dean Trickett triumphed with 47 points, relegating Paul Thompson and Greg Sonntag (46) to second place, who in turn left third spot to be snaffled by Digby Addison and David Rodgers (46) on a count-back. Standing quietly and well away from the podium were the pairings of Barry Thompson and Geoff. Leo (45), Peter Freebairn and Dean Robinson (44), Wayne Nagle and Bill Parkin (43), Barry Michael and Peter Thompson (42), Joan Anderson and Josie Thompson (41), Tania Matz and Steve Jonas (40), Doug Taylor and Merv Hameister (39), Cherie Taylor and Moya Hayes (39), Mike Hahesy and Gerry Toms (39) plus Patricia and Greg Anderson (39). Good scores from everyone and well done to all. Two Birdies were achieved, by Nagle/ Parkin at the third and Berry/Trickett at the eighth. Individual Nearest The Pins were claimed by Peter Thompson at the third, Dean Trickett (eighth), Bill Parkin (10th), while Digby Addison double dipped, taking out both the 13th and 15th. This weekend, another Stableford stoush is in the offing, but on an individual basis, to be orchestrated by brothers Ben and Callum Michael (footy permitting…) and Robert Hart manning the 19th (seeding permitting…)

SPORT v District

Balaklava rises to the challenge under 17

Balaklava took on Burra on a crisp sunny morning. With a lot of the play moving up and down the field, Burra won the first short corner but failed to convert. Marni Greenshields, Brock and Micah Hamann showed skill through the centre with Jesse Shepherd defending strongly in the back half. Burra showed skill but Balaklava met the challenge, determined to thwart their at-

tempts to score. Burra did manage to score what turned out to be the only goal for the match, but they had to work hard to get it. The second half began with Burra earning a short corner early, but with Tim Heslop defending as goalie, they failed to convert. There was a lot of play through the centre with Marni, Tamara Gates and Jordan Hamann working together well to move the ball towards Balaklava’s goal. Wingers Micah and Georgina Watts

played well with Timothy Goldney and Riley Chapman supporting significantly through the centre. Overall a good game with Burra winning one-nil. Next week is a bye for all teams as the Zone and Country Championships are being played in Adelaide. Balaklava has five boys competing in this event in the Clare & District Hockey team, as part of the Under 13 boys competition being held at the Grange hockey club.

Peckerettes remain

strong

PETER ARGENT’S APNA review E: pla.wordsmith@bigpond.com M: 0411 178 444

Balaklava’s strong second half ensured a 10-goal victory against Two Wells on Saturday. Played on the Roosters home courts, the match was locked away at half time. “I thought we lifted our defensive pressure after that point (half time),” playing Peckers coach Michelle Williams said. “We stifled the flow of the ball through the mid court and that helped the final result. “In the end it was a good team effort from the entire group.” Balaklava’s best was centre player Gaynor Tink, who returned to her pre-baby form, while 15-year-old wing attack Kate Cmrlec was also impressive. “Gaynor was strong both offensively and defensively,” Williams explained.

“Kate gave 100 per cent all game and followed my instructions to the letter. “Alex Wilson was up again from A2 and did a great job – she is pushing hard for a consistent A1 berth. “Carly Gregor also collected a number of good intercepts at wing defence. “Also, both goalies Tahlia Kruger and Cassie Powell were solid all game. ” For the Roosters, WD Nicole Hardy led the way, working hard for the entire contest. Two Wells defender Mia Darling consistently tested and frustrated the Peckers shooters with her long reach. Hummocks have finals in their sights Undefeated so far this season, the Hummocks juggernaut continued last Saturday.

n BALAKLAVA A1 centre, Gaynor Tink watches Two Wells’ Amanda McHugh’s pass to teammate Nicole Darling, is about to be intercepted by Balaklava’s Alexandra Wilson. Hummocks played Hamley Bridge in an away fixture, winning handsomely by 45 goals in the end. The final score was Hummocks 67 defeating the Bombers 22. By quarter time, the flag favourites had already created a nine-goal lead, with this increasing to 20 at half time and 33 at the last break. “We played this

game in perfect conditions at Hamley which was nice,” Hummocks playing coach, Samantha Nicholls said. “It was a complete team performance last Saturday which was pleasing, especially after the previous week’s poorer effort. “The girls responded brilliantly and let their netball do the talking.” Erin Brundell

received the best player nod by the officials for Hummocks while Tanya Rademacher was best for Bombers. “Mel Moulds and Bonnie Nicholls really combined well in the circle this week and put enormous pressure on the Hamley goalies,” Nicholls continued. “Lisa Powell was tight at wing defence and drove down the court into attack well. “In a very good captains game Beth Germein is really starting to find her straps this year and produced a solid performance. “Jade Wilkins consolidated her position at wing attack this week and improved on her previous effort. “There were a number of needle threaded passes she threw into Erin Brundell. “Erin (Brundell) really bounced back this week and focused on her shot.” For Hamley Bridge Rademacher’s endeavour shone out, as did Keegan Hanneker who was playing at wing

attack to replace the injured Pam Mattschos. Mallala fires in a 16-point win Mallala produced a fantastic effort to collect a 16-goal win over Long Plains on home courts. “Even though our pre-game plans were seriously disrupted, the girls came out firing,” coach Courtney Kerr said. “Jessie Neilson thought the game started at 3pm instead of 12.30pm and therefore having to change our starting line up 10 minutes before we hit the court. “We then scored 17 goals to five in the first term to lead by 12 goals at the quarter time break. “This just proves the versatility and mental strength of our team.” Ashleigh Jarman and Nerida May worked fantastically together in defence circle. Clare Bruggemann, playing in the wing defence role, provided a great drive down the court. Jessica Bates was

consistent all game in the centre, creating many turnovers and excellent feeding into the goalies. “I was particularly proud of our defensive pressure and intensity this week,” Kerr concluded. Long Plains coach Josie McArdle was satisfied with her girl’s competitiveness after quarter time, explaining they were only four goals in arrears in that period. “After a slow start our performance was a lot better in the last three quarters,” McArdle said. “I was reasonably pleased with this effort from that point. “We certainly missed Jane McBride and she is the type of player who is hard to replace. “Our defenders Shay Walker and Jess Daniel stuck to their tasks all game.” Long Plains goal keeper Alicia Sharman performed well throughout the match, while teammate Brodie Hall was solid as the fill-in goalie.

No netball reports were submitted this week

Report by Peter Argent With some major concerns about the lack of participation at senior level by Adelaide Plains netballers, the executive committee of the association are about to put new rules in place to govern the selection process for the annual Country Netball Championships. “It is disappointing that we can’t get commitments from senior players to be involved in this event,” APNA president Josie McArdle, a former Country Championships representative player and coach herself, said. “We will discuss how this will be handled in our June meeting. “This has always been treated very casually in our association and we’d like to see a more positive approach. “We’ve had a senior team for the last couple of years, but didn’t get any commitments from the players this year. “As an association we need to find a way to motivate the girls to participate in this championship, which is a great experience to all involved. “What the Country Champs does is give people an opportunity to build life long bonds and friendships. ‘It also gives the girls a chance to see where they stand in the game across the entire state.” The Adelaide Plains has never won the A grade title in the 69 years the Country Championships has been running. They would be competitive against the best country netballers in the state, if they could send down an elite team. This year they are sending 17 and Under, 15 and Under and 13 and Under sides to the championships, played at ETSA Park on Saturday, June 11 to Monday, June 13. Coached by Aynara Lawless, the 15 and Under combination is expected to be highly competitive.

Our netballers set for Country Champs Thousands of netballers from all over of the state will make their way to Adelaide to participate in the South Australian Country Championships this long weekend. Held at ETSA Park from June 1113, Country Champs is Netball SA’s biggest competition of the year, with an expected attendance of over 7,000 netball fans through the gate each day. In the 69th annual Country Champs, 95 teams will compete representing 25 regional associations from Mt Gambier and the Riverland, up to Coober Pedy and across to Ceduna.

Tigers tamed Mallala halts United’s charge

n TIGER Alistair Fleming gives chases to Mallala’s Josh Seal during Saturday’s clash at Mallala oval. PHOTO: LISA REDPATH

Pitched a block-buster between the upand-coming Tigers and last year’s premiers, Mallala, this match didn’t live up to the hype. After quarter time, it was all one way traffic, as the Magpies inflicted an 82-point defeat on United. Mallala broke the game open in the second quarter with 5.2, while the visitors could only manage one point for the term. The third term was nearly a carbon copy of the second and Keith Earl’s troops ran away with the game. “Our intensity had improved at training over the last few weeks and that was reflected in this performance,” coach Earl said. “We started to control the game during the first term and we just went on from there. “This was the best we’ve played this year. “The entire group were switched on and the overall approach of the team was excellent.” The Magpies were dominant through the middle of the ground with their elite midfield of Joel Montgomerie, Jason Earl, Christian Rimmer and Liam Whitwell all being outstanding. James Wildbore gave Mallala plenty of drive from defence, and Eyre Peninsula tal-

ent, 19-year-old Brent Harris was a strong performer up forward with five goals. “Chris Hallion did a good job on Burgoyne,” Earl continued. “David Pontt was solid across half forward, while Jacob Walsh competed manfully all game against big Will Banton. “Matthew Birchmore, after a couple games back, is starting to get a bit of touch.” For the United side, which gained a little respectability with three goals to four in the final stanza, Will Banton, Mark Pym and Ross Sharer were the only players who could really hold their heads up. Peter Burgoyne kicked two of his team’s five goals.

2011 Cup

Our best looking for back-to-back

Defending title winner, Adelaide Plains, goes into the fifth annual Landmark Cup representative football championships with quiet confidence. Our best footballers take on representative players from the Yorke Peninsula, North Eastern and Northern Areas competitions in abridged knock-out games. Playing at Snowtown Oval this Saturday, June 11, the APFL plays the Northern Areas Association in a match of two 18-minute halves, with the winner playing the victor of the North Eastern versus Yorke Peninsula match to contest the final. A man with plenty of success at club level, Andrew Michael, again will take change of the senior team, after engineering the 2010 Landmark Cup victory. “We don’t feel any extra pres-

REPORT: By Peter Argent sure because of last year’s success,” coach Michael explained. “For our group it’s about being pretty competitive.” Generally the squad is full of in-form players from throughout the association. Hamley Bridge ruckman, Justin Schahinger has been in his side’s best players in each of the seven games, as has fellow Bomber midfielder Josh Moody. The competition’s leading goal kickers, Brendon Niklaus and Glenn Dawson are expected to get the roles as targets in attack. There are a host of midfielders to rotate through the centre square. “One of our strengths is we’ll be

reasonably quick around the ball, which was an area we excelled last year at Kadina,” Michael continued. “We also look to have a better structure in attack as well. “Jason Earl from Mallala and Hayden Walker are expected to be in our leadership group, while guys like Ned Seccafien and Heath Pym are the next tier of players to fulfil these roles.” Injured stars of the competition, Joel Wilson (Eagles) and Lee Allmond (Roosters) will be unavailable. Tallan Leighton, with a hamstring issue, won’t play either – his run off half back will be missed. The engine room will be critical, with new players Caleb Howell, United’s Adrian Mills, along with Dylan Lockwood and Joshua Moody, to add to a potent group.

back role, while Heath Pym should have the other key backman’s role. Hayden Walker, last year’s APFL Plains Producer medallist, will relieve Schahinger in ruck and add to the strength in attack. As part of the rules in this competition, each squad must include five players under 21 years at January 1, 2011. Along with former Power rookie Dawson, Pecker team mates Sam Rowland and Lachie Michael will come into calculations, as will Virginia utility Chris James. Generally considered as the poor cousin in this competition before last year’s triumph, the Adelaide Plains Football League won respect and will be looking for this to continue that this Saturday.
