Planning to reduce a 2011-12 operating deficit of almost $1 million:

Back in BLACK 4 REDUCE DEFICIT 4 REDUCE BORROWING

RATE increases above inflation, less borrowing and better management of assets are highlighted as key factors to reduce Wakefield Regional Council’s predicted $1 million operating deficit in 2011/2012 to a small surplus in six years, according to its long term financial plan. WRC acting chief executive officer, Steve Jonas, said ratepayers could anticipate rate rises of about two percent above the three percent inflation rate through the consumer price index (CPI) for the next few years at least. “What we’re saying in this document, is by

4 REDUCE DEPRECIATION 4 SURPLUS IN 6 YEARS

Les Pearson reports: increasing rates by a couple of per cent above CPI, for the next six to 10 years, we will get to a position where we have got an operating surplus, based on the figures and information we have now,” Mr Jonas said. “But that’s always the difficulty in preparing a long term plan because something always comes up that we were not aware was going to occur.

“It’s relatively easy to look a year or two ahead but to look ahead five years or more, it is much more difficult so you’ve basically got to make assumptions based on the best information we currently have.” Tables in the plan document a rate rise of only two percent each year, with inflation not added on to the figures. Mr Jonas believes the use of current values with no CPI added makes the document easier to interpret. n Continued Page 6

Maitland, Aughey in LGA presidency vote WAKEFIELD Regional Council mayor, James Maitland, is one of four nominees for the Local Government Association presidency, which will be voted on by councils this week. Clare and Gilbert Valleys Council mayor, Allan Aughey, is also a nominee, as well as mayors Allan Arbon (Murray Bridge) and Kym McHugh (Alexandrina). Mayor Maitland has previously conveyed his desire to take the president role after he was given the acting president role about two months ago. “Back when I first got onto the state executive and elected as vice president, it was my intention to nominate for president,” he said at the time. Council will vote at tonight’s council meeting on listing Mayor Maitland as first preference for the position. Officers of the Electoral Commission will count the votes next Monday, June 27. It is expected a provisional declara-

tion of the result will be made by LGA returning officer, Wendy Campana, shortly after completion of the count, with a final declaration 48 hours later. “The need to appoint a president as soon as possible has resulted in a shorter than usual time for the lodging of nominations and votes, and the LGA would like to express its appreciation to those councils, which have scheduled an extra council meeting or made other special arrangements to meet these deadlines,” the LGA said.

SYNGAS has reported some encouraging signs for potential power production in the mid north and Yorke Peninsula from recent research carried out on local properties. The synthetic fuel company announced in a statement to the Australian Stock Exchange the study is nearing completion but early results are promising. The company is looking to commercially produce bio-fuel or generate power in the region, by collecting straw from harvested crops as biomass. Early signs suggest there is an ample amount of straw to work with. “Sufficient quantities of excess residual straw

could potentially be cost effectively collected, stored and transported, on a sustained basis … providing input into commercial return downstream bio-energy developments in the Yorke Peninsula, and/or in the mid north high rainfall areas,” the company said.

“The Yorke Peninsula and mid north areas are relatively high yield/production level cereal crop areas in South Australia, and as such, relatively high levels of associated wheat (and barley) straw residue production areas” Syngas believed the

potential to generate power in the region was much greater than biofuel production. “Commercial developments of a power generation plant and/or a straw pellet production plant in these areas are now being focussed on,” the company said. “Although sufficient quantities of feedstock are available for a biomass to liquid plant, the preliminary commercial assessment of this option is not encouraging.” Syngas is also looking at ways to collect the straw more efficiently. “Although the bulk collection systems trialled delivered suboptimal results when compared with results that have been achieved overseas in the past, a number of encouraging improvement opportunities have been identified,” the company said. “Subsequent discussions have been held with machinery manufacturers on the latest technology developments and with engineering design companies on improvements to current equipment for potential trialling.” Once the final report on the study is complete, Syngas will look to continue its investigations. “Completion of the field trial report is expected to lead to further work on the specific opportunities which have been identified, further to Syngas board approval,” the company said. 0 0.2 0.4 0.6 km

Mallala gets more industry growth

It’s not eggs, it’s not meat – but what comes from a chook is helping farmers and a developing industry

SEVERAL rural development applications have been lodged with Mallala District Council recently. A large horticultural enterprise will seek approval to be established on Port Gawler Road, Two Wells. Valued about $500,000, the development application lists construction of 105 plastic covered greenhouses, a packing shed, with office, seven storage sheds and 15 water storage dams. Two chicken farms also have lodged separate development applications. The first is an expansion to existing farms on Two Wells road, Korunye, looking to build four extra sheds and two rain water tanks. The second is for the repositioning of a poultry farm on Turner road, Mallala. Finally, two pig farms on Carslake road, Dublin, will apply to be expanded. One will add a further three straw-based eco-shelters, taking its capacity from 900 to 1500 pigs. The other will add one strawbased eco-shelter to increase its capacity from 999 to 2200 pigs.

With the cost of fertiliser rising, local farmers are substituting the more common phosphorus fertilisers for none other than chicken poo to achieve better yields. Balaklava farmer Nick May recently had trials done on farming land at Erith, testing the use of chicken litter as a fertiliser. Rural Directions undertook the trial, applying rates of chicken litter as high as 20 tonnes per hectare. Rural Directions executive director, Tony Craddock, believes chicken litter fertiliser is now the way to go. “Spent chicken litter from meat chicken sheds is showing real potential as a soil improver for poor, sandy soils,” Tony said. The trial which took place on Nick May’s property, showed positive results. Tony said best results occurred at application rates of 10t/ha with no additional

Sally Crowther reports: yield benefits evident when the product was applied at 20t/ha. “Wheat yields increased by 19 per cent when high rates of chicken litter were applied. It not only supplied plants with additional phosphorus and nitrogen, but also trace elements such as zinc and copper,” Mr Craddock said. Nick was impressed by the results. “There was definitely a difference in comparison to normal fertilisers. When I drove past the paddock I could see the benefit,” he said. The trial program was funded by the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation. While chicken litter can be expensive, Tony assures it can be worth the cost. “The results were very

promising, we’ll be sowing barley over the site this year to see if the benefits are long lasting” he said. Farmers are obtaining their chicken litter from Adelaide Plains poultry farmers, who say there has been an increase in demand. Greg Gaze, of Southern Cross Farms Australia in Owen, said there was grow-

ing popularity, but it had been used by farmers for many years. “With the cost of regular fertiliser rising, we now go through 2000 cubic metres a month,” Mr Gaze said. Gary said it would benefit him along with other poultry farmers in the region. Chris Watts, of AgriHaul, has a depot in Mallala and

CLARE Valley tourism operators were able to air their thoughts and concerns on future tourism directions with South Australia’s peak tourism body, the South Australian Tourism Industry Council (SATIC), during a recent visit to the region. Localised marketing, infrastructure development; access to the region; and connection to the State marketing body were key issues raised. SATIC also assisted operators with the development of their businesses by becoming tourism accredited or by nominating for a South Australian Tourism Award. SATIC chief executive officer, Ward Tilbrook, said it is also a great opportunity to get out and meet the members. The visit came at a difficult time in local tourism, with big changes ahead, including the approaching withdrawal of local South Australian Tourism Commission representation.

can deliver chicken litter straight to farmers’ properties. “This has always been used – I guess you can say it has been a kept secret due to limited quantities – but now we can go through 18 tonnes at a time,” Mr Watts said According to the Rural Directions report, chicken litter costs $25 per tonne and $12.50 per tonne for contract spreading. With varying fees at present, Mr Watts believes as supply grows over the years, the price will decrease. Tony Craddock advises farmers to make sure the method is cost-effective for their situation – but he also believed its popularity would rise in coming years. Farmers would need to use it for at least two years. “Yield advantages will need to be sustained for greater than two years for benefits to exceed costs,” Tony said.

Poetry pays for Douglas

Balaklava high school student Douglas Howard left his entry to the last minute but still took out a prize in the Adelaide Plains Poets Poetry Competition. Douglas, 17, of Mallala, decided to put in an entry for ‘The Great Race’ poetry competition, the very day entries closed. “I saw details of the competition and thought I might as well have a crack. I definitely didn’t think I would win,” Douglas said. His poem, ‘That Same Feeling,’ won best poem in his category, which he also entered in another competition, the 2011 Young Writers Award. When asked about his passion for poetry, Douglas said it was not something he did often. “I hardly ever write poems, but I like to play around with words,” Douglas said. Douglas was awarded $50 prize money, and his recent win is encouraging him to release his inner poet.

Healthy ‘toolboxes’ coming BALAKLAVA NeighbourhoodShed and others in the region will receive a DIY male health “toolbox” to help make more men aware of health issues. The Federal government is funding the toolboxes to be sent to community sheds around the country. The metal boxes, due to arrive in September, contain a combination of health promotion materials, featuring resources suitable to a shed environment. Balaklava shed’s Ruth Arikawe is excited about the concept. “We currently have at hand quite a few brochures on men’s health. However, the idea of promotional products will bring the main health issues to the foreground,” Ruth said.

Star of the North

The “mousecapade” stories keep rolling in ... and if everyone wasn’t baiting or trapping these pests, I don’t think we’d have any clue about how many mice are around! Lcoal green thumb, Judy Clifford, who is in charge of the plant section at Balaklava Building Supplies, was sick of her plants being eaten by mice, so set up the trusty water trap. Hoping for 50 that night, Judy was thrilled to find she’d caught 130. That will teach them not to mess with Judy!

Balaklava farmer David Burford wondered why he was going through copious amounts of wheat feed for the chooks. He went out one night and saw mice having a party eating the wheat. So off to McArdle’s to get some Dynamice (not dynamite) and that night, David put some out near the chook shed under some tin. The first night netted 90 mice, the next 750, with the tally for the week ending at 3500. Amazing! After the first two days, David’s wife Christine got the job of picking up the dead ones which were soon cremated.

Holes in one!

Roads the ‘asset’ that consumes finances

ACTING CEO Steve Jonas says with most CWMS projects completed, borrowing should reduce.

• From page 1 “We think it makes it simpler for the man in the street to understand where there are increases in real terms and where there are not,” he said. Along with rate rises, a reduction in borrowing and reducing council’s depreciation costs on its assets are areas council will target to defeat the deficit. Depreciation is an accounting concept where as an asset ages or is consumed, the value of that asset decreases and is charged as an annual expense to the business. The idea is by doing this annually, the business will have enough money to renew the asset once it needs replacing. Mr Jonas said council would have to have a close look at its assets and rationalising them, which includes how they are utilised and valued. Roads are classified as an asset, and given their wear and tear, tend to be a big factor in council’s depreciation figure, which equates to over a third of council’s annual expenses. For example, a road classified as category three, which requires regular maintenance, may be reclassified to category four if not used often,

New council signs up and gone in days TWO WELLS

Police are investigating the theft of seven District Council of Mallala environment signs, which were stolen from the Port Gawler area over the long weekend. The signs are 90cm x 60cm in length and width and are very distinctive with pictures of birds, mangroves and writing with general environmental information written over them. The signs, valued at $350 each, were only placed on the beach areas recently and it is obvious the offender had spent some time removing them from the shelters as they have been pop riveted to the shelters. • SEVERAL buildings at the Two Wells Primary School had graffiti marked on them over the June long weekend. Police have followed up several lines of enquiry, however no people have been reported at this stage. Enquiries are continuing. •A PROPERTY on Betty road, Lewiston, had its metal letterbox damaged over the long weekend. Information received was that people from a vehicle had damaged the letterbox late Saturday night however, full details are not known. It is believed the people involved may also be responsible for the large amount of green wheelie bins damaged over the last few months. Anyone with information relating to either of these matters is urged to contact police. •OFFENDERS broke into a shed at a property located on Boundary Road, Lewiston, on Thursday, June 16 and stole a red coloured Suzuki 250cc quad bike valued at $6300. The break-in occurred between the hours of 5.45 and 7.45am. •A 38 year-old man from Two Wells was issued with an infringement notice with a fee of nearly $900 after he took his high powered Holden Sedan for a short drive to end of the street and back again

n LONG TERM FINANCIAL PLAN reducing council’s investment on the road and its overall value. This would, in turn, reduce the depreciation levels on the asset. “So it’s really about looking at our assets and getting a good idea of what we need to do with them to make them sustainable but also have us financially sustainable,” Mr Jonas said. “I would think most regional councils, particularly those with a large road network, would have an operating deficit due mainly to the depreciation expenses on these assets.” Reducing council’s borrowings is expected to be a little less complex. “We have borrowed significant amounts (in recent years) because we have had some major capital projects,” Mr Jonas said.

It is to be alleged that the registration for the car expired on June 1 this year. • On the same day, a 64-year-old Dublin woman was stopped after she was detected driving a Mitsubishi station wagon on Dublin road, Mallala, without a current driver’s licence. It is to be alleged that she had not held a drivers licence for 25 years. • Mallala Police also issued a traffic infringement notice to a 27-year-old Port Parham woman after she was detected driving a Nissan station wagon on Aerodrome road, Mallala on Wednesday, June 15, without a current driver’s licence. Police allege the woman had held a learner’s permit, which expired in February, 2009. • A 47-year-old Port Parham man received a traffic infringement notice for driving a motor vehicle whilst under the influence of a prohibited drug. Police allege on February 24 he was the driver of a motor vehicle involved in a collision near Port Augusta. He had sustained serious injuries as a result of the crash and was conveyed to hospital as a result. An analysis of a blood sample taken from the man allegedly contained the prohibited drug, methyl amphetamine. PORT WAKEFIELD TWO Port Wakefield men, 29 and 26, were reported by Port Wakefield Police on Thursday after police located two hydroponic growth systems were found at their home. The men were reported for allegedly cultivating cannabis and possessing prescribed equipment and will face court at a later date. •PORT Wakefield Police attended a single vehicle accident near the Hummocks on Friday night. None of the four occupants were injured but a 26-year-old man from Whyalla was reported for driving without due care.

Most of those major projects were Community Wastewater Management Schemes in local towns. With most of the CWMS projects now completed, council’s borrowings should also reduce back to normal levels. The plan, linked to council’s strategic management and asset management plans, is reviewed annually. “Things do change so that’s why we review it each year.” “It’s setting a broad direction rather than saying that’s exactly where we’re going.” The plan predicts an eventual operating surplus of $600,000 (between six to seven per cent of revenue) after 10 years. “If we were between say zero and 10 per cent surplus, it would be a comfortable financial position,” Mr Jonas said. Council will vote whether to formally adopt the plan at tomorrow night’s council meeting, after no feedback was received from the public after the consultation period. The plan is available to view on council’s website.

n ANNUAL BUSINESS PLAN

Rate rises inevitable to support services IN line with the Wakefield Regional Council’s long term financial plan, its annual business plan targets reducing council’s operating deficit. WRC acting chief executive officer, Steve Jonas, said rate rises were inevitably forecast. “At our current service levels, we have a large deficit, so it’s either reduce the service levels or increase the rates, or possibly a bit of both,” he said. A recent state wide financial sustainability inquiry targeting local councils, convened by the Local Government Association, found councils generally put community needs and demands for services ahead of their own financial sustainability. Mr Jonas said council’s recent service levels have been a factor in struggling to reduce its operating deficit. “I don’t believe we over service but because we have a relatively low ratepayer base, we could be servicing above our means,” he said. “We don’t over service – as in we don’t provide unnecessary services – but we might not be able to afford the level of services we do provide. “It’s a difficult position.” Improving council’s financial standing while maintaining current services has its complications, especially with the dreaded depreciation involved. Mr Jonas explained council’s extensive road network and vast amount of aging community infrastructure all attracts depreciation. “Depreciation is based on the total value of your assets, not the work you do,” he said. “In a perfect world, if you spend as much money on renewing or replacing your assets as your depreciation

figure, you would be keeping up with those assets. “We’re probably not and I guess those numbers would say that, so we need to look at reducing our deprecation by rationalising our assets because we can not afford to spend more on renewal.” He said managing these assets correctly is both the short and long term answer. “Basically, we have to look at our road network and buildings and any other assets and find the most efficient way to service them,” Mr Jonas said. Efficiency is arguably one of the biggest measures in council performance. Mr Jonas said it is always an area council looks to improve. “I think any organisation can always be more efficient,” he said. “And council, like any other business, always has to strive to be more efficient.” The business plan stipulates developing skate parks at Balaklava and Snowtown and continuing council’s road works budget of about $2.5 million among a number of objectives of the upcoming financial year. “It’s about putting that money where it’s needed and to address objectives in our strategic plan,” Mr Jonas said. The public can provide feedback on the annual business plan at tonight’s council meeting. Mr Jonas said it would be appreciated if anyone intending to attend to comment on the draft plan could advise him prior to the meeting. The feedback will then be tabled at a special meeting on July 6, when council also considers adopting the 2011/2012 Budget.

NEWS v District DANGERS of wire rope barriers, used on some sections of Highway One to separate traffic, have been raised in Federal parliament. The wire rope barriers last year were introduced along the centre of a 1.7 kilometre section just south of Port Wakefield and won the 2010 SA Excellence Award in road safety. Yet they are known as “widow makers” to motorcyclists. Their danger recently was raised in parliament in Canberra by the Nationals Federal MP for Cowper, Luke Hartsuyker. Speaking on issues relating to the upgrade of the Pacific Highway, Mr Hartsuyker highlighted the risk after a motorcyclist had to have his leg amputated as a result of falling on a wire rope barrier near Taree, NSW. Port Wakefield resident and motorcyclist, Rob Chadbourne, also sees the wire barriers as a great threat to motorcyclists. “These sort of barriers are very dangerous. Every motor cyclist wants to stay upright, but there’s always the chance we can fall, said Rob, who would like to see the wire barriers made safe. “Imagine yourself sliding towards four wires, it’s like a ‘cheesegrater’ effect. Definitely not good. “It needs to be covered with plastic or another material, so if motorcyclists do come off their bike, instead

Parliament’s marine park committee starts probe

Is it safe or a slicer? PORT Wakefield motor cyclist Rob Chadbourne shows what he calls “cheesegrater” wire rope barriers.

‘Widow maker’ wire rope barriers criticised Sally Crowther reports: of sliding through the wire, they slide along it,” Rob said. Port Wakefield Senior Constable, Scott Crowther, doesn’t see the barrier as a major problem. “It’s proven to have a positive impact on road safety and if people abide by the speed limit and drive with care and attention, it shouldn’t pose a significant issue,” Sen Const. Crowther said.

Spokesperson for Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure (DTEI), Hayden Ryan, defended the barriers. “Wire rope median barriers are extremely effective, with benefits of up to 90 per cent crash reduction,” he said. “Wire rope barrier technology is not known to be any worse for motorcycle riders than a guard fence. “Posts can have protectors and DTEI has added these at the Port Wakefield median installation.”

He claimed there were motorcyclists who were “all for” this type of barrier. “Some motorcycle groups have publicly supported median wire rope barriers because it will prevent oncoming vehicles crossing the centre line,” Mr Ryan said. However Mr Hartsuyker disagreed, warning more victims would be claimed. “I think it is important to look at the design (and) location of wire barriers, whether they are enhancing safety outcomes and implications

for motorcyclists,” he said. Mr Hartsuyker suggested South Australia should adopt a system similar to Victoria where motorcyclists paid an extra fee on top of their registration, in exchange for the roads becoming safer for riders. He said several safety options were possible, including covering areas of the wire rope with an impact-absorbing plastic. Mr Hartsuyker intends to call for a review of wire rope barriers.

FAMILY First MLC, Dennis Hood, was recently elected chair of the Marine Park Parliamentary Select Committee at the group’s first meeting. Other MPs on the Legislative Council committee include Labor’s Paul Holloway and Carmel Zollo, Liberal’s Michelle Lensink and Terry Stephens. The committee will target: • What scientific evidence is available to guide marine parks design and management; • Detrimental effects to recreational and commercial fishers; • Detrimental effects to property values; • Complaints by local communities regarding the consultation process; • Interstate and international moves to limit the extent of sanctuary zones; • The correct balance of general marine park areas to no-take sanctuary zone areas; and
 • How the management of marine parks will be funded. Submissions and expressions of interest are sought by July 29. They can be sent to Legislative Council, Parliament House, GPO Box 572, Adelaide, SA, 5001.

Red Cross Queen competitions Red Cross has been active in our communities for a very long time and the various branches competed vigorously for the title of highest money raiser each year. One of the major fundraisers still today is the Red Cross baby competition but, back in the 1940s, a very popular event was the Queen Competition, which supported the Comfort Funds. In 1943, Balaklava’s winning Queen was Miss Win Wilson who raised

sette (yes I’m that old, I even owned an LP!) and started playing it, Mum obviously took offence to “Guns in the Sky” (or one of the lines anyway), and unbeknownst to me, hid it in a cupboard. It wasn’t until a couple of years later that I found it and was able to renew my love of Australia’s biggest musical export! There’s been so much outstanding Aussie music over the years, it was a tough task to limit myself to just 10 selections. We really do punch above our weight in a lot of genres, but I guess we’re best known for guitar bands. Having said that, we have some of the best dance and electronic acts you could hope to see anywhere. More on that next week. Suffice to say we truly are the lucky country! Tune in next time, coz I’m Mr Brightside!

I understand that artists grow up or get bored with doing the same thing and want to experiment with their sound, and while often that means alienating a lot of their fans, I can appreciate where they’re coming from. If The Beatles had kept churning out “Love Me Do”, would they be remembered as fondly as they are today? I think not. One of the more recent examples to divide opinion is the subject of last week’s column, Silverchair. A lot of punters prefer their heavier debut “Frogstomp” to the more melodic last two albums, “Diorama” and “Young Modern”, whereas I voted for “Diorama” as one of my Hottest 100 Australian albums of all time, which Triple J is currently running on their website.

NEWS v Two Wells CONCEPT plan for Two Wells town centre, with a market as the hub of a staged approach, maintaining character.

n RESIDENT MEETING SENDS STRONG MESSAGE: A central market place where Two Wells locals can hold outdoor events and fetes is a key feature of new planning guidelines for the town recently discussed at a community meeting. About 20 people attended the meeting on Wednesday June 15, where District Council of Mallala (DCM) chief executive officer, Charles Mansueto, led discussions and introduced landscape architects from design firm JPE Design Studio. While the guidelines place the proposed market place as the hub of the town in the future, other concepts highlighted included off-street car parking, more open space, restrictions on new building heights and materials, and continued laneways to break up the main street frontage. “One of the key things council is working hard for is getting that strong planning upfront,” Mr Mansueto told the group. “This is a great initiative in setting that platform (and) it’s based on a staged approach.” Mr Mansueto said it was clear locals wanted development to occur in keeping with the town’s character. “Maintain character, that’s important,” he said.“They don’t want to lose character and it’s been developed with that input. “Hopefully, you’ll see that reflected in this design.”

‘Keep the character’ of Two Wells • Looking over the Two Wells Main Street Guidelines are Rosemary Howell, JPE Design Studio landscape architect David Gregory, Bev Smith-Trim, Bob Dyer and JPE Design Studio landscape architect Warrick Keates. Bec O’Brien reports: Guideline designers David Gregory and Warrick Keates outlined a vision of growth and expansion in keeping with residents’ desire to maintain the character of the town. The architects “walked” the group through the guidelines, pointing out Two Wells could retain its unique character while also planning and preparing for predicted growth. “There’s a strong demand for development in the town,” Mr

Keates said. “But it shouldn’t be to the detriment of the town.” Mr Keates said guidelines focussed on seven main precincts, including the town centre, civic and community use, mixed-use, commercial, market place, green space and landscape corridors and cultural use areas. He reiterated Mr Mansueto’s comments of a staged project. “What we have done is really try to build that story,” Mr Keates said. “It’s not just going to drop down in one hit. In the next five to 10 years

we will focus on typography, breaks in the laneways and making sure character is maintained in the town.” After the presentation, questions were taken. Two Wells Regional Action Team president, Eddie Stubing, said the guidelines were a positive thing. He asked if council had a set timeframe for the development. Mr Mansueto replied it was “difficult to set time frames at this point” but he hoped within the next 12 to 18 months acquisition of land needed for the development could be

finalised. However, for this to occur, planning rules for the town centre first would need to be changed. Other questions focussed on issues of recreational space, catering for elderly residents, and traffic congestion, in particular the fear of replicating the congestion issues of Murray Street in Gawler. Written comments can be submitted to the District Council of Mallala until Friday July 8. Guidelines are on display at DCM’s Mallala office, Two Wells Service Centre and Two Wells Library.

NEWS v Balaklava Year 4 students from Horizon Christian School recently toured the Plains Producer to gain an understanding of how a newspaper works. This was part of their studies in teacher Mark Hamann’s class. The students then wrote a report on their tour, with a selection sent to the Plains Producer and published here in no particular order. Without any editing, here’s what they said:

Producing our ‘cub’ reporters Debra Lambert: Year 4 Superstars from Horizon School visited the Plains Producer on Thursday the 19th of May to find out about the Plains Producer. Mr Manuel, the owner of the Plains Producer, talked to us about the history of the Producer and all the interesting bits. Mr Pearson talked to us about the stories and reporting for the Plains Producer. We saw a picture of him playing footy for Balaklava. Miss Redpath took about 4 photos of the class, they were picture perfect. Then she muddled up our heads and we laughed our heads off. We also saw Jimbo make adverts and how people use them. All of us were given a newspaper and we found a story about Horizon and our new gym (yay!). Then we started asking questions. My question was, how long has the Plains Producer been going for. When we were about to leave, Mr Manuel gave us a pen. It was really fun and exciting and I also learnt a lot about the newspaper. Thank you Plains Producer.

Casey Binns: On Thursday 19th May, the year 4 Super Stars went to the Plains Producer to learn about newspapers. Mr Manuel showed us around the place. He also told us how they made newspapers and how many papers they made each week. Mr Pearson talked to us about reporting on stories and we also saw a picture of him playing for Balaklava. Miss Redpath took a great picture of the class and then we all laughed when she changed around faces. We talked to the editor Mr Williams who talked to us about how papers were printed before we were born and Zac got to sit in the editors chair. We also saw how Jimbo made adverts and learned why people use them. We were each given a newspaper

and found a story about Horizon. We had a great experience at the Plains Producer and learned a lot about making newspapers.

Candace Smith:

Mr Pearson talked to us about reporting stories. We also saw an awesome picture of him playing football against the Port Wakefield Hummocks. Yeah. Go Balak! Next Miss Redpath took a wicked photo. She then distorted the photo on the computer by using photoshop. She put Bradley’s face on Declan’s. The class then laughed their brains out.

On Thursday morning the year 4 Super Stars visited the Plains Producer where they make newspapers. Mr Manuel, the owner of the Plains Producer talked a lot about newspapers and it was very interesting. Miss Redpath took some pictures and it was amazing how she could put it on the computer in like 10 seconds. Mr Pearson talked to us about reporting stories and we also saw a picture of him playing for Balaklava in football. We talked to Mr Williams who was the editor. He talked to us about printing and before that Zac got to sit in the editor’s chair. We also saw Jimbo. His real name is James. He made adverts and we learned why people used them. We finished by asking questions. My question was how long does it take to make a week’s worth of newspaper, the answer was one whole week. Then we got on the R.H. ScHulz bus and went back to school. I had a great time. $1.40

Isaac Hamann:

Kasey Garret:

On Thursday the year 4 class from Horizon Christian School bolted in to the Plains Producer to learn more about newspapers. They were very excited. Mr Manuel greeted them and told them the basics of a newspaper. Then he talked about cameras and how they used to have films. Then Miss Redpath took an awesome picture of the class. She put it on the computer and changed our faces around. We all exploded in laughter. We talked to the editor Mr Williams, who told us how newspapers were made long before we were born. We finished by asking questions we had. They made a great front cover about Horizon Christian School. They also surprised us by giving us pens. We had a great time and learnt heaps about newspapers.

Horizon Christian School students ran for their school last Thursday in the Adidas Fun-Run, with sponsorship by families and members of the community helping to purchase new sports equipment for Horizon’s new gym. Event organiser, Mary Heslop, is proud of the way students and the school community supported the event. This was the first year Horizon competed in the event. “Each class competed against each other, it was fun competition,” Mary said. The Adidas School Fun-Run is a healthy fundraiser and sends

the right message to students about having fun while getting involved and being active. You can also help by buying Adidas shoes from Athletes Foot stores and dropping your sales receipt into reception at Horizon Christian School before November. Adidas will donate 5 per cent of the sale back to the school. Students received frozen refreshments after the run courtesy of SMOOZE fruit ice and all school families get six weeks of free movie rentals from Quickflix.com.au. Families also have a chance to win a holi-

day to Hawaii staying at the Sheraton Waikiki flying Hawaiian Airlines. If your school, club or group would like to raise extra funding

with the Adidas school fun-run, visit www. schoolfunrun.com.au or call the fundraising group on 1300 333 788 for more information.

Rover, Rex, Fido and Fluffy have been relegated to the doghouse as popular pet names while Aussie owners bring their animals closer into the family circle. Dr Mark Perissinotto, head vet for online pet supply retailer VetShopAustralia.com.au said as more owners saw their dogs as part of the family, the traditional names were becoming obsolete. When choosing a pet’s name VetShopAustralia. com.au recommends ones that are easily recognised by the animal. Pets respond best to one or two syllable names, while tags that rhyme with standard commands should be avoided, e.g. “Joe” sounds too much like “no”. Most popular dog names: Max, Chloe, Bella, Lucy, Sophie, Tyson, Buddy, Bonnie, Jack, Daisy, Molly, Lucy, Harley, Charlie. Most popular cat names: Milo, Tiger, Tigger, Tom, Smokey, Chloe, Max, Oliver, Bella, Lucy, Angel, Oscar, Sam, Simba.

NEWS v Virginia n WORK STARTS ON NEW CENTRE

Cultural home for Vietnamese Work has started on construction of the Vietnamese Cultural Centre at Virginia. The centre is being built on land purchased by the Vietnamese Farmers’Association from the government of South Australia in 1990. In officially starting construction at a recent ceremony on the site, Federal Member for Wakefield, Nick Champion, said he was pleased the Federal government was able to make his dream a reality by providing $100,000 towards the project through the Better Regions Program.

“The Better Regions Program is providing important community infrastructure that improves regions and regional towns,” Mr Champion said. Mr Champion said it was “wonderful to imagine the lively and exciting events that would take place once the centre is completed.” Virginia is home to more than 500 Vietnamese -Australian farmers and the area produces a significant amount of South Australia’s cucumbers and capsicums.

A large contingent of Balco employees, some “ring-ins” and their families went on their annual camping and four-wheel driving pilgrimage, this time to the heart of the Gawler Ranges, Mt Ive Station. Everyone enjoyed a relaxing break with adventurous four-wheel driving thrown in.

The very ingenious Dazza did some improvising and put the bikkies and cream together to make sandwiches which kept everyone very happy– especially the kids. Eventually the group found their way home, via Hungry Jacks, with all cars and kids covered in mud, tired and weary and about five hours later than scheduled, but no-one cared. They are already planning the 2012 trip.

Balaklava and surrounding districts greeted a touring group of State Liberal MP’s and the party’s rural and regional councillors. The group visited local businesses and residents in Balaklava and Port Wakefield on their way to a two-day tour of Port Pirie and nearby areas. Tony Pasin, chair of the party’s rural and regional council, lead the group through visits to local businesses. Shadow Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries and

State MP for Hammond, Adrian Pederick, described the tour as a great success. “The purpose was to connect with the community, and make them aware we are here for them to talk to as we work towards the election in 2014,” Mr Hammond said. Last Thursday, June 16, the group visited the Plains Producer in Balaklva and Balco’s Bowmans plant. They later travelled to Primo Meats in Port Wakefield, where Mr Hammond was suprised by

It was A class,” he said. “There are some great success stories here in regional South Australia.” The group then travelled to Port Pirie where they visited a school, hospital and businesses, including the Golden North factory. Opposition Leader, Isobel Redmond, also joined the group in Port Pirie for a State Liberal Party council meeting and community dinner. Specials valid from Wednesday June 22 to Saturday June 25

Solid performance from U13 boys THE Clare & District hockey side welcomed four extra players – one from Port Lincoln and three from Adelaide – to help field a team at the Under 13 Country Championships held at Grange over the long weekend. The team played three games on Saturday and two on Sunday, and while they did not succeed in a win, they certainly worried some of the opposition and kept the scores fairly low. The supporters on the sidelines got excited in the last game, as they thought a win or a draw was imminent…but, alas, Seacliff scored in the dying minutes of the match to take home the win. Playing a strong game for the weekend was the defence end of Bryce, Tim, Tom, Micah and Sam. Nick, Peter, Riley, Kye, Paxton and Patrick worked well through the centre and down into the forward area, while Adelaide goalie Jason Dixon played superbly in goal for the team. Riley Chapman became a dominant goal scorer, and as the weekend wore on players such as Kye and Paxton started to work well as a team with the lads, and some more goals came from the stick of Paxton from Grange club. Micah, from Balaklava played his first association match and was superb in defence. Bryce Chapman, also from Balaklava, showed he has not forgotten his hockey skills as he worked the stick beautifully to push the ball upfield into the scoring zone. Players for the weekend were: Sam Haddow and Nick Haddow of Burra Hockey Club; Peter Cornwell of Clare; Tim Goldney, Tom Goldney, Micah Hamann, Bryce Chapman and Riley Chapman of Balaklava; Kye Higgins of Port Pirie; Patrick Lowe and Paxton Silby of Grange; Jason Dixon of Woodville.

• From back page “Our forward line worked better after the main break, with Glenn (Dawson) and I kicking two goals each in the third term,” Lamond explained. For the struggling Eagles skipper Matthew Higgs was their best, followed by former Mail Medallist Ricky Mackereth who also kicked a pair of majors. Shaun Light in ruck, the versatile Dylan Cicolella, Travis Sharpe and former Willaston footballer Lee Belperio were also serviceable.

Defend and win! Roosters hold off improving Bombers Underdogs going into this clash, due to a high injury count, Two Wells achieved an impressive 25-point victory over the improving Hamley Bridge. In a first quarter shoot-out where 10 goals were kicked, the Roosters led by just over two goals, increasing to 26 points at half time. The third quarter was intriguing, with the Bombers edging back into the contest. Amazingly, in the final term neither team kicked a goal, with Hamley being kept scoreless and Two Wells kicking five points.

“It was a good contest and Hamley Bridge got to within a couple of goals in the third quarter, before a late flurry helped us,” Roosters coach Mark Thomson said. “Both teams were out on their legs in the last term. “We pushed an extra player to half back and slowed the tempo up. “The boys were still trying to kick goals, but the defence was our main focus.” Tenacious vice-captain Ben Spiteri was inspirational, as was Kahn Leighton. Centre half forward Brad Fitzgerald was important both in

field play and up forward with four goals. Back pocket initially and then on-ball Daniel Hines, and wingman Brice Hart had a telling influence on proceedings, while Ben Slattery competed well in the rucks. Team captain Ned Seccafien was important with three goals, while Ben Arnold and Hines chipped in with two each. “We spent a lot of time on curbing Moody’s and Christmann’s influence at stoppages,” Thomson continued. Representative player for the

Without key forward Brendan Nicklaus, Greg Phillips’ Virginia Rams still found a way to kick 15 goals and grab victory at home against the reigning premiers, Mallala. Virginia, accurate in front of goals early actually had the same scoring shots at half time, but because of their straight shooting were 15 -points up at the long interval. This edged out to 25 points at the last break, before a six-goal last term ensued at comfortable 43 point win. “In the end it was a great all round effort by the boys, coming off a three-

week break,” Greg Phillips said. “Both sides had a few players out. “We had Brendon Nicklaus suspended because he didn’t play representative football, while Caleb Howell twinged his hamstring at training and captain Michael Young was overseas. “The boys did look pretty fresh and considering, because of the draw, this was our second three-week break for the year, the skills weren’t bad after the lay off.” Ben Russel asked to do a tagging role on Joel Montgomerie, closing

him down and as well as winning 20 plus possessions, while hard at the ball centre-man Graham Rigney and the strongly built Troy Wilkey were pivotal performers in this victory. Half Back Devon Oliver played with guts and determination, full back Tony Seccafien and excellent young “front and centre” player small forward Peter Mylonopoulos all were influential. While there wasn’t the usual key target in attack for the Rams to kick a bag, Wilkey, 19-year-old Mylonopoulos, Terry Lioulios, former

Salisbury North Hawk Joss Denengelse, impressive player at Landmark Cup level Chris James and local lad Rocky Perre each kicked two goals. “We got efforts from everyone, included Ryan Starr, first gamer Daniel Kerr and big 6’8’ (203cm) Ben Avery on the bench,” Phillips concluded. On- ballers Liam Whitwell and Christian Rimmer were the Magpies best, while David Pontt, Robert Montgomery, Jacob Walsh and Josh Seal all had their moments. Key forward Brent Harris kicked three goals.

Balaklava upsets season pacesetters In a major upset, previously unbeaten Hummocks lost a thrilling round 10 clash to Balaklava by three goals. The hosts gained what proved to be a significant, if small margin of four goals by quarter time. The ladder leaders reduced this to three at the half time break, and during an absorbing second half that is where the lead sat when the final whistle blew. The final scorers in a game which many are suggesting will be a precursor to the 2011 APNA A1 grand final was Balaklava, 37 defeated Hummocks, 34. “It is fair to say it was our best win for the year, especially because of how they were travelling and the fact they were undefeated to this point,” playing Peckers coach, Michelle Williams said. “We had belief and stuck to our game plan. “Both our shooters were in excellent form. “Talia Kruger produced an inspirational effort at goal attack and she combined well with Cassie Powell. “They both shot strongly, each finishing with an amazing 88 per cent shooting efficiency. “Chelsea Koch held the experienced Hummocks shooter Sam Nicholls well in defence. Talia Kruger for Balaklava was rewarded as the Peckers best in the officials’ eyes as well. Playing a commanding game at wing defence, Lisa Powell was Hummocks’ best. “The conditions were wet and cold last Saturday,” playing Hummocks coach Samantha Nicholls said. “We lost (key circle defender) Mel Moulds who went down with ankle injury in first five minutes of the match. “This meant Claire Schulz who had just finished playing a full game in the A2’s came on at goal keeper. “With a few girls sick and a couple of injuries it just wasn’t our day. “The girls did some impressive things but then we really let ourselves down with silly mistakes. “Balak’s goalies were quite accurate and unfortunately we missed too many goals. “We are looking forward to having the week off to get the

injuries right and kick the colds.” Mallala drives it home At the Ramettes’ magnificent indoor facility, the Mallala Magpies produced a solid 16 goal win over Virginia. “At the end of the first quarter we were down by one,” Mallala coach, Courtney Kerr said. “But from that break we put our foot down and kept it on the accelerator. “The girls had a commanding lead for the rest of the game and in the end collected a convincing victory. “I personally was very happy with team’s first, second and third efforts, and for them always being supportive and ready to back one another up. “It was a great team game played by the entire group.” Mallala centre Tracy Kennett was solid for the entire game, providing strong drives and fantastic feeding into the goal circle. Jessie Neilson had a simply outstanding game wearing in goal keeper, making it hard for Virginia’s attack to get the ball into their goal ring. Tessa Jarmyn and Ashleigh Jarman worked well together in goals and capitalised on the Magpies’ defence and mid-courts hard work by shooting consistently.

Wells girls’ competitive win over 2010 premiers An impressive first quarter effort by the Wells girls on their home courts set up a 12-goal victory again last year’s premiers Hamley Bridge. Two Wells were nine goals up at the first quarter, but the Bombers were competitive for the rest of the game. In the middle two terms, the visitors actually outscored their opponents. In the second quarter Hamley threw 10 goals to nine, while in the third they won the term 12 to 11. But the Roosters came home strongly, winning the last quarter by five goals. “We lost Nicole Darling with an ankle injury in the second term, so our wing attack, Rachael Gray took over the goal attack bib from there,” Two Wells A1 coach Tanya Kent said. “Our best player was Nicole Hardy, who was ferocious in her attack on the loose and contested ball. “Mia Darling at goal keeper was a strong performer again, while Amanda McHugh both at wing defence in the first half and wing attack in the second half was good all game. “It wasn’t our best performance, but it was still a win.” Best for the Bombers was goal attack Emma Riley. Having played at the other end of the court last year, she scored the majority of Hamley Bridge’s goals in an outstanding individual effort in the shooters circle.

player Tenayah Renshaw about the game. The comments were in fact made by coach Aynara Lawless and supplied in an email from Tenayah. The Plains Producer apologises to Tenayah and Aynara for the unintentional mix-up.

APFL & NEFL Association Football Scores

Coaches to face APFL after report • From back page Amidst the chaos, Hamley Bridge’s team manager, Craig Schahinger, went to the assistance of his son, only to lose his glasses. In trying to separate his players from the scuffle, Mr Lines said Nelson was struck by a blow, which Nelson himself rated “about a two out of 10”. The blue eventually disbanded and players made their way into the change rooms. Mr Lines said Nelson was wary of opposition supporters in the vicinity of his team as the players left the ground, before Two Wells Football Club president, Jeff Moon, approached Nelson to make sure he was OK and was especially apologetic. Mr Moon said he wasn’t sure what had happened on the field. “To be honest I wasn’t anywhere near it,” he said. “I went to both coaches and they said there was nothing in it, that’s all that was said. “I went and spoke with the umpires too and asked what they saw and they said they didn’t see anything in it.” Regardless, reports were lodged by the officiating umpires. Both clubs were informed of the reports on Monday morning. According to league procedures, a charge of misconduct carries a penalty of a one-match suspension.

Prescription: cool off! Heated round of footy sees tempers flared MY waiting room is once again filled, so time to bring out the old stethoscope and Dr Rick for some consulting. First in is Dan, who asks: “Dr Rick, after Saturday’s melee at Two Wells, only the coaches were reported. What happened?” Daniel, that is a brilliant question. From what I saw on Saturday, one player should face a kneeing charge, about 10 for wrestling, another five for striking or attempted striking, and a spectator should be banned for a while. Yet tonight, the coaches are the only two facing the tribunal for bellowing obscenities at each other like two boxers at their pre-bout

THE BANDWAGON With Rick Shaw

press conference. In the red corner we had Bugs Thomson, six foot three, known as the “Snowtown Circular Saw”. In the blue corner, Rian Nelson, six foot two and a half, known as the “Hamley Hulk”. Rian probably won the verbal stoush by split decision but after half time, Bugs’ boys won the war. Some ingenuity from the coach’s box, putting Ned Seccafien at full forward to jag some

early goals and Daniel Hines’ game through the midfield were major moves to secure the win and keep the Roosters off the bottom of the table. For the coaches, I prescribe two teaspoons of hot mustard to cure those potty-mouths and a calendar for Rian, so he can mark July 23 with a big red pen. The date of redemption. To my next patient, Billy, who writes: “Dr Rick, I saw Balaklava’s

Hayden Walker and umpire Will Hodgetts arguing on Saturday. What should happen as a result?” Billy, this phenomenon is known as the Whiskey Eclipse. It happens every year, usually coinciding with football season. What happens during a Whiskey Eclipse, is his anger slowly completely covers over his sense of reason. Other emotions affected by the eclipse include love, compassion and he is far less ticklish. No one is sure exactly what big Hayden told Will, no doubt it was completely constructive criticism. Talking to some sources at the game, Will’s performance

was hardly satisfactory, although I got to see him at Two Wells recently and thought he did a reasonable job. To prevent future heated discussions between captains and umpires, I prescribe Will with a high fibre diet of prunes and bran flakes, to help with his consistency.

By the way, there was another game on the weekend, Virginia looking the goods coming into the chunky end of the season.

Mighty Cats power on UNBEATEN at the top of the ladder, the Cats crushed the BSR Tigers, winning this clash at Blyth Oval. Already 52 points up at the long interval, Blyth-Snowtown continued their domination of the perennial cellar-dwellers BSR after this break, kicking 11 goals to three. The final margin was an impressive 103 points. “36 scoring shots to 13 was a fair indication of the difference between the two teams,” Cats mentor Brett Ireland said. “Early in the contest it was a little scrambled, but once we started to run the ball, we got the results on the score board. “Against a side like BSR if we didn’t win by a significant amount, we would not have played to our potential, especially at home. “The one small concern was in the second quarter, where we didn’t convert enough from forward entries.” Former Glenelg footballer Craig Robinson and the returning Kyle Griffin gave the Cats abundant drive from half back. This line, which includes Gareth Ottens, has been in tremendous form all year. Back for his duties at the Eagles under 18 level, Caleb Lloyd was impressive both on the ball or in attack. Cats midfielder Simon McCormack won plenty of the ball around the stoppages, while the mercurial captain Ryan Darling in the centre again produced a wonderful display and Wayne Slattery was the best big man on the ground in the ruck. Brad Bell kicked four goals as a floating forward in his first game back, while the strongly built Shay Clifford was solid in the on ball rotations. Leading the way for the well-beaten Tigers were Simon Hayes, Alex Smart and onballer Leigh Fuller. Tim Weckert, Matthew Tilbrook and Tyler Stephenson with two goals were also serviceable.

REPORT and PHOTO: By Peter Argent Along with Stephenson, big Ashley Burgess also slotted through a brace for BrinkworthSpalding-Redhill. Rams bring Saints back to earth After back-to-back wins in the two weeks before the long weekend, the Southern Saints were brought back to reality in their away clash with Daniel Schell’s BBH Rams. Strong out of the blocks, the Rams kicked the first four goals in the opening term and were still 24 points up at half time. Then seven unanswered goals in the third quarter set up a commanding victory, with the margin eventually being 90 points after the final 30 minutes of the game. Recruited from the Northern Areas competition this year, and a former SANFL league footballer, Matt Jackman was best on ground, closely followed by Boh Wall and the silky smooth left footer Marcus Hall. Young Zac Lynch continues his fine season, while Jason Schuppan was a strong marking target at centre half forward and Stephen Mann was solid as well. Playing up forward Tom Martin kicked five goals, while Geoff “Digger” Thompson was a good avenue with four and Wall helped out with a trio of majors. Rowan Prior was clearly Eudunda-Robertstown’s best, followed by Gabe Laucke and Chris Redemski. Jay McLean, Corey Ah Chee across half forward and ruckman Terry Sleep were competitive for the vanquished. Veteran of 300-plus A grade games at Eudunda and the amalgamated club Stephen Geister kicked three of the Saints five goals. On a sad note, BBH Rams champion and key member of the Rams ’09 flag Peter Mann re-injured his knee he had

Tigers must test powerful Rams United v Virginia Rams big guns will be too much for Tigers Seen as the match of the round in many punters’ eyes, the fourth placed United Tigers host Greg Phillips’ Virginia Rams, who are currently in second place, just percentage behind the Peckers. The visitors will see goal kicker Brendon Niklaus return after an APFL imposed oneweek suspension to strengthen the Rams’ attack, although Caleb Howell is only a 50-50 call after his hamstring strain before the last round clash. For the Tigers, Sam McArdle is still in a moon-boot and they are expected to be a month away for their best side as well. While high profile recruit Peter Burgoyne was cleared to play in Port Lincoln last weekend with Mallee Park, senior coach Travis Optiz is confident he will be back for this clash. Alistair Fleming

and Adrian Mills have been the most consistent performers for the hosts, while Mark Pym is a key component in defence. One of the strengths of the Virigina side is the club’s potency down the spine, with both Chris James and Niklaus being tremendous marking targets in attack. Adrian Mark has also been impressive with his versatility in key positions both up forward and in defence. This match is a real test for the marginally under-strengthed home team. They are expected to be competitive, but the Rams should have too many big guns.

Bombers and their big man Justin Schahinger, who has also been in outstanding touch. Rian Nelson will need to find a way to close down the Peckers’ avenues to goal. Last time, Glenn Dawson and Jono Brice kicked 20 goals between them. Adam Pepe will play

a crucial role for Hamley Bridge at centre half back. The Bombers will need their midfielders like Aaron Christmann, Dylan Lockwood and Josh Moody to be defensively accountable. Nelson will also be asked for lifts from Shane Caterall as a key forward and the “younger than he looks” full forward Brett Burgess. This game will certainly be closer that the massive 25-goal plus margin last time, but with the quality of the midfielder and the sturdiness of the Peckers defender, they will still have a comfortable victory.

Mallala v Two Wells Magpies after quick rebound The Magpies, warbling louder than usual

after their loss last week will want to rebound quickly. The side, with as much talent as any in the competition, is usually about negating Mallala’s midfield, as Roosters coach mark Thomson knows. “When Mallala have won games it is notable that Christian Rimmer, Liam Whitwell, Jason Earl and Joel Montgomerie are all in the best players,” Thomson said. “If you can quell a couple of them, it certainly will help your chances. Skilful and dynamic Brad Hardie is another Thomson will need to watch, while Jacob Walsh also has an important role for the Magpies as well. Up forward Brian Montgomery is a vital avenue to goal, having

25 majors, at over three per game, while Brent Harris is among the top 10 APFL goal kickers. Interestingly for the Roosters, their only goal kicker in double figures is the sidelined Lee Allmond (20 goals), so they will need to generate avenues to goal from a variety of sources this week. This is an area where Brad Fitzgerald, who kicked four important goals, may need to step up. The Roosters will need big performances from their senior players to test the reigning premiers in this game. Despite Mallala’s loss and Two Wells’ win last Saturday, all the key performance indications suggest the Magpies will be warbling strongly at the conclusion of this game.

Michael (-8) and J Matz (-13). Gerry Toms retired hurt after nine holes while Cherie Taylor suddenly remembered that she’d left the cat out and hurried home early. We even had a D grade field, in the delightful person of Josie Thompson who smote a very worthy -2. Birdies flocked to the doings, with even Barry Thompson bagging one, at the eighth, leaving John Curnow (third), Digby Addison (15th) and back at the eighth, no less than Ben Michael, Graham “Emu” Ackland and Steve Jonas all cleaning up. Nearest The Pins were secured by John Curnow at the third, Barrie Thompson (eighth), Bill Parkin (10th) and super-sparky Mark Loy, who pigged out on both the 13th and 15th. This weekend it all happens again, as we meet to contest the final aggregate round for the Moody Cup and vie for a goodly amount of fine wine, courtesy of the Kirrihill Wines Trophy.

Our greensward groaned under the sheer weight of 39 players who moved off with, of necessity, a somewhat urceiform demeanour, in their shared quest for greatness and the cheers of their peers in Round One of the (Par) Moody Cup and as well, the highly prized Ross Veitch Memorial Trophy. Starting, as we must, with the highly steamed A graders, it was the turn of Peter Thompson (+3) to show ‘em how, with Mark Loy (+2) to show ‘em what and Merv Hameister (+1) to show ‘em the value of maintaining good relations with Count Bach, as Ian Michael found out. Then there was a pair of squares, namely Bills Lokan and Parkin, followed by J Breuer (-1), R Hart (-1), S Michael (-1), W Nagle (-2) and D Taylor (-3). Big-hitting Callum “Biff” Michael cleaned up not only the B Grade gumbos with his score of +5, but also took out the Ross Veitch Memorial Trophy. Another big hitter, Dean Robinson (+2), used the good Count to keep medium-sized hitter big, busy, bustling Barry Michael on the straight and narrow. This left us with J. Michael (square), P Thompson (-1), D Addison (-1), S. Jonas (-1), D Trickett (-2), J Curnow (-3). W Berry (-4), B Thompson (-4), B(en) Michael (-6), D Rodgers (-6) and G Ackland (-7). It was all happening over in the expanded C grade gathering, if your name was Chris Hahesy that is. Her +3 was too titanic for Tania Matz (+2) and outrageous from the perspective of Austin Henstridge (-1). Those who elected to keep their reactions to themselves were D Michael (-2), M.

I think the 25 point advantage that Bingo had drained every bit of concentration from Chris. A commendable effort from Bingo to take him to 21 holes. Steve Kelly also won a matchplay against Vince Hatch 3/1. Some memorable moments were Ian Smith losing his ball up a tree and Jeff Spackman asking whether anyone had a tree iron he could use. Sando’s club went further than his ball on the 15th, it was a beautiful straight high shot, unlike the ball.

Coaches to face APFL after report

Mark Thomson

Rian Nelson TWO coaches were reported for misconduct after ugly scenes erupted at half time of the A grade match between Two Wells and Hamley Bridge at Two Wells on Saturday. Bombers coach, Rian Nelson, and Roosters coach, Mark Thomson, will face the Adelaide Plains Football League tribunal tonight, for allegedly hurling abuse at one another after a scuffle broke out between the two teams right on the half time siren, resulting in Nelson copping a strike to the face. Nelson and Thomson were seen shaking hands after the match. Hamley Bridge Football Club president, Newton Lines, said

Nelson was unsure of who actually punched him, so the club was not going to follow it up. “It was one of those unfortunate circumstances where the timing was wrong and the place was wrong,” Mr Lines said. He said tensions were building throughout the first half and the ball near the boundary line, directly in front of the interchange bench. Bomber ruckman, Justin Schahinger, allegedly started the fracas by what was described as an accident but attracted close attention from an opponent. Players began to pour in to the melee. n Continued page 19

n EAGLES Sam Baker and Ashley Lockwood swoop in on Pecker Justin Walker in the A grade match at Balaklava on Saturday, while Balaklava teammate, Aaron Cocks watches on.

Peckers powering toward finals Stewie Lamond’s Balaklava side collected a huge 74 point win, after breaking the game open in the second half. Although the Peckers were 14 points up at the main break, this contest with the Hummocks-Watchman Eagles was still up for grabs. But five goals in the premiership quarter, while the Eagles were kept scoreless, set up the convincing victory. “Hummocks-Watchman was very competitive until half time,” Lamond said. “We got our game together in the second half, lifting our work rate around the stoppages and winning more clearances. “We tweaked our midfield

structures and threw Whiskey (Hayden Walker) into the ruck. “Three of our best four players were defenders, with our back six being solid all game.” The Peckers continued their domination of the contest with five-goals-to-one in the last stanza. Defender Derek Friedrichs at full back, outstanding young midfielder Sam Rowland and half back flanker Jason Hender-

son were all key components in Balakalva’s sixth victory this season. Veteran centre half back Brenton Lamond, the older Rowland sibling Jed and all round sporting talent in the centre, Todd McPharlin, were also strong performers in the win. McPharlin, spent most of the first 15 minutes of the game on the sidelines after being hit by friendly fire at the opening bounce. Marking targets in attack Glenn Dawson (four), playing coach Lamond (four) and Jono Brice (three) kicked 11 goals between them. n Continued page 17
