Weather plays its usual harvest tricks

PATCHY rain periods continue to hold up harvest around the Adelaide Plains, with recent falls over Saturday night to Tuesday morning again bringing proceedings in the paddock to a halt.

More wet weather is forecast over the coming days, although periods of warmer

conditions are on the horizon in between days likely to produce scattered showers.

NEWS v Balaklava OUR TOP GARDENS NAMED:

They look a picture!

Balaklava’s Tarita Haynes is queen of the local gardeners, after her Kelly Street garden was named champion in the recent KESAB awards.

KESAB judges, Roy and Beryl Crabb, travelled the Balaklava township a couple of weeks ago in search of the best gardens.

Balaklava Tidy Towns committee had previously picked out quite a few for them to consider – but they wanted to see all and choose their own.

Tarita received the top award for her beautiful, colourful and well set out garden.

“I’m pretty happy with the award. I started landscaping the yard about 13 months ago, and put in about four to five hours a day, plus every weekend,” Tarita said.

The judges believed it was well mulched with a great variety of colours and plants.

“I love gardening, although it does take me two or three hours to water both the front and backyard!” Tarita said.

Runner-up champion garden went to Coralie Taylor, of Bruce Drive, for her the mass of colours and the level of mulching.

Award for the low maintenance garden went to David and Kaye Lamond, of Fisher Street. This garden has several built up garden beds for easy maintenance, designed for wheelchair use with lots of colour. Runner-up was awarded to Janet and Lyndon Smith, of Christopher Street.

Best renovated garden award was given to Ken and Heather Cunningham, for their placement of large rocks, and also smaller ones to prevent weeds.

Runner-up was Chris Pedley of Phillip Street.

The judges said it caught their eye as it was neat and tidy.

Several gardens were considered for the title of best backyard, but Jean Stewart’s Fisher Street backyard was chosen.

“It was a shock, and I was very humbled my little garden got the award,” Jean said.

The judges said it was a delight to walk through, with plenty of colours and a very welcoming range of different plantings which were all well kept.

“I call it a friendship garden as many people come to give me bits and pieces of clippings and I also like to give them some too,” Jean said.

Runner-up for best backyard was Marlene Bennett, of Roberts avenue.

The judges believed it would be a great delight to look at everyday, with something growing for all seasons, giving colour all year round with open space and trees and shrubs for shade.

Judges observed how much Balaklava had grown, with the gardens a delight to admire.

B a l a k l a v a Ti d y Towns secretary, Nancy Williams, was happy with efforts of residents.

“We should all be proud of our town. A few still have some work to do, but on the whole, well done,” Nancy said.

Local speed limits cut to 100km/h BALAKLAVA

TWO WELLS

*

IT’S official – local motorists will have to slow down on local roads as speed limit reductions on 45 rural road sections within a 100 kilometre radius of Adelaide and on Yorke Peninsula.

This will affect most roads in the Adelaide Plains region.

Road Safety Minister, Jennifer Rankine, said the speed limit change was a key initiative in driving down the State’s road toll.

The new speed limit

changes will not apply to national highways or freeways, such as the Northern Expressway, Port Wakefield Road, South Eastern Freeway and Sturt Highway.

“Starting this month, changed speed limit signs will be progressively rolled out, with 723 km of State roads having the new 100 km/h limits in place in time for the Christmas/New Year holiday period,” Ms Rankine said.

Bushfire Risk Area Bushfire Safer Settlement *This map is an indicative representation only of the delineation between the Adelaide inner metropolitan area and bushfire risk areas. For more information visit www.cfs.sa.gov.au or call the Bushfire Information Hotline 1300 362 361 (TTY 133 677).

“On average, the 100km/h limit will add only about one minute in travel time to a 20 kilometre journey, while saving around 10 cents a litre in petrol.

“Too many South Australian lives continue to be lost on our roads, particularly on our rural roads.

“Last year 64 per cent of all fatalities occurred in the regions – a trend that has continued throughout 2011 with 51 people already dying on rural roads this year.

“In the past five years, almost one fifth of all fatal and serious injury crashes in South Australia occurred within a 100km radius outside of metropolitan Adelaide.

“That’s why we’re moving to reduce speed limits on 45 State roads down from 110km/h to the rural default speed limit of 100 km/h.

“Records show there were 290 casualty crashes recorded on those 45 roads in a five year period (2006-2010) resulting in 22 fatalities and 121 serious injuries.

“Analysis of this crash data indicates if the speed limit on these 45 roads is reduced by 10 km/h, there’s the potential for 12 less casualty crashes each year.”

In July 2003, speed limits on about 1100 km of rural roads in SA were reduced to 100 km/h, resulting in 20 per cent fewer casualty crashes.

“The initiative follows

What do you say? Go to Facebook and vote in our poll. considerable State government investment into the 45 road sections over the past five years where more than $17 million has been spent on safety treatments,” Ms Rankine said.

“Overall, $110 million has been invested on arterial roads across the State over the past five years through the Rural Road Safety, Shoulder Sealing, Responsive Road Safety and State Black Spot Programs. $371m has been allocated to rural road maintenance over the same period.

“A further seven local government road sections within 100 km ofAdelaide and on Yorke Peninsula, totalling 141km, have also been identified for the speed limit reduction.

• Speed limits should not be reduced on rural roads to compensate for the Labor government’s neglect of South Australia’s road network, says local Liberal MP for Goyder, Steven Griffiths.

“Instead of lowering speed limits, Labor should be addressing the state’s $200 million road maintenance backlog.”

Know your bushfire risk.

If you live outside the Adelaide inner metro area, you are at bushfire risk. Bushfires can happen at any time so it’s important that you understand the Fire Danger Ratings, know your local conditions and listen to your local radio station to keep updated.

Visit www.cfs.sa.gov.au or call the Bushfire Information Hotline 1300 362 361 (TTY 133 677) for all your bushfire risk, community education and safety information.

Happy Birthday today to my mother, the complete nut Margaret.

She doesn’t live around here but always reads Take 5. So I hope you have a great day!

And a belated happy birthday to Plains Producer reporter Les Pearson, who celebrated his birthday on Saturday.

And speaking of Les, the other day we had a conversation about Scarlet, his border collie dog.

With fiancee Libby Birkmyre, the popular podiatrist for Lower North Health, he had to rush the dog to the vet the previous night as it had collapsed after running and playing on the town oval.

This emergency also caused some angst at the dog (and cat) loving Williams household (editor Terry and Leethal) who became involved after Les sought their help to track down Balaklava vet, Brenton Clark.

Les had also admitted feeding his dog chicken bones prior to this, so naturally I told him he had tried to kill his dog.

As you do.

So Les asked me to find out about chicken bones and dogs, and also Border Collie Collapse syndrome.

Apparently dogs can eat raw chicken bones but NOT cooked bones.

But there is one problem with raw chicken bones – BEWARE of Border Collie Collapse, the long sharp thigh bone warn Libby and Scarlet. must be removed, but the rest is OK. an episodic nervous system disorder Cooked bones become brittle, that is triggered by strenuous exersplinter easily and break into sharp cise.

tion, swaying and staggering (I’ve seen people like that) falling to the side, exaggerated lifting of each limb, and crossing of legs when walking.

Some dogs are OK and only show signs after exercise is completed.

Episodes last for 5-30 minutes but then they recover completely with no residual lameness or muscle stiffness or discomfort.

Continually affected dogs are often unable to exercise and must be retired from competitions or work. So Les didn’t try to kill his dog after all – not intentionally anyway. But to all of you with a border collie dog, be aware of the signs, especially now the weather is warming up!

BOB Thompson in his workshop.

UPGRADING of Dublin cemetery by the local restoration group continues, but it’s worth noting how this project began.

Back in 1997 Brian Grocke removed dumped cars and the following year Bob Thompson decided to clean up the cemetery before the launch of the History Group’s first book. Bob, husband of local identity, Pat, completed the clean up and planted trees in 1999.

He then transcribed every headstone inscription for record keeping, and also identified and located 70 unmarked graves.

Sinking feeling – A local man will stick to his day time job and forget plumbing after a recent problem with his waterworks.

When turning on the bathroom tap, he could hear an annoying vibrating and buzzing sound.

He couldn’t work out what the noise was so phoned a plumber.

The sound was conveyed down the phone but the plumber had never heard anything like it. He suggested turning off the pump, amongst other things. This was done to no avail.

Finally our figures man thought perhaps he should check under the sink in the vanity cupboard and see what was happening with the pipes.

Lo and behold the culprit of the vibrating sound was found! No, not what you think, it was an innocent electric toothbrush.

These things only happen when the wife is away on school camp, out shopping or even just up the Lane Balaklava

Depot sale with bus changes

WITH the final day of school only about five weeks away, the reality it could be the last time local bus contractors work in the region is fast setting in.

While the Parliamentary Select Committee inquiry into the awarding of school bus contracts by the Department of Education and Children’s Services continues, what could potentially be the last stop for regional contractors steadily approaches.

Victorian-based bus giant, Australian Transit Enterprises (ATE), was awarded most of the rural bus contracts

in what many local bus businesses considered to be an extremely unfair tendering system.

SA Link, a member of ATE, already has a local bus run in the district, having taken over the contract from John Hahesy, who retired earlier this year.

Buses R Us, which has several school bus runs to Balaklava schools, will be auctioning off its depot site on Railway terrace, Balaklava, on Wednesday, November 30, at 11am.

Most Balaklava school bus contracts will expire from Friday, December 16.

Local Remembrance Day services Fallen soldiers who fought for Australia in World War I and various conflicts will be remembered on Friday, as services across the region are held at 11am for Remembrance Day. • Balaklava RSL will be holding a service at the Triangle at 10.40am, followed by coffee and biscuits at the RSL. A Poppy Appeal will also be held on tomorrow and Don Beare, from Balaklava RSL, is encouraging all to contribute.

“Collectors for the poppy appeal will be placed outside the newsagency and Foodland from 9am–3pm,” Don said.

• Two Wells RSL will be holding a service at the war memorial at 11am, and president, Tony Flaherty, invites everyone to attend.

“As it’s a working day we don’t expect a big crowd, but we do invite people to stay for nibbles after the service,” Tony said.

• Port Wakefield RSL is holding a service at the Memorial Arch. Assemble at 10.15 for a 10.30am start.

River gums fight back from drought Your pictures will help track progress River red gum trees in the region are now flourishing after a “near death experience” due to drought.

The floods almost a year ago have rejuvenated the ancient trees.

Northern and Yorke Natural resource Management Board (NYNRM) water officer, Jennifer Munro, said the river gum trees had improved in quality since the floods.

“River red gums are key species of water dependant ecosystems in our region.

“Systems rely on water for survival, and this species is the most visible and prolific of these ecosystems,” Jennifer said.

Jennifer also noted heavy rainfall over the last 12 months was expected to promote prolific flowering episodes in the gum.

“There has been an increase in buds, which

Sally Crowther reports: means a good season ahead,” she said.

Local farmers have noticed an improvement in the trees, and acknowledge the floods for their role in this.

Robert Whiting, who has spent a lifetime on his farm on the Wakefield River, is positive the floods have revived the trees.

“Before the floods, the trees were the poorest I’ve seen them. Now they are the best I’ve seen them,” he said.

The trees now have thicker foliage.

“Before the floods I could see cars travelling on the Halbury road through the trees, but now I can’t see a thing,” he said.

Robert said one of his 35 metre-high gum trees fell down after floods in 2008-2009 – but he was

very surprised with the outcome. “Soon after the tree fell, I noticed another tree shoot out from the root, which I have never seen in a river red gum.

“Today the tree is six

metres high,” Robert said.

Callum March, who farms along the river, also said the floods had rejuvenated the gums.

“It started a couple of

years ago after a previous flood. The trees were looking dead but now you can see the difference with the new leaves and thicker foliage,” Callum said.

n With the recent flowering of river red gums evident across the region, NYNRM is holding a photo competition to gain more insight on progress of the trees.

Community members of all ages are invited to take part from December 5 to 31, capturing the flowering gum trees.

There are prizes of between $50 and $200 – but importantly, the competition will help support a study into gum dieback in the region.

Email colour photos of at least 1mb, with the tree location, to Jennifer. munro@nynrm.sa.gov. au. Further details, contact Jennifer on 8636 2361.

parklands. However, the feasibility process also would likely comment in part on stormwater flows from surrounding areas and possibly consider flood mitigation.

Increased stormwater from the growing Wattle Ridge housing estate flows through Moody Estate via an open drain which empties into the Wakefield River.

The feasibility study is being funded through a $17,600 grant from the State Natural Resource Management program – NRM community grants scheme.

Balaklava Area Committee (BAC) successfully applied for the grant.

After a briefing at Wakefield Regional Council, (WRC) Mr Downard and Ms West toured the Wattle Ridge area and Moody estate with council staff, Central ward councillors David

Lamond, Maurice Tiller and Owen Chapman and Balaklava Area Committee chairman, Terry Williams.

Tonkin Consulting is a recognised expert in water engineering, with major projects including wetlands in Murray Bridge, Victor Harbor and the Brownhill and Keswick creeks stormwater project in Adelaide.

The feasibility report is being prepared and is expected in about eight weeks.

Many aspects need to be considered, including soil condition and topography, before the report is finalised.

If it is decided the wetlands are feasible, a cost estimate would be required and Wakefield Regional Council would need to consider the project and give approval before further grant funding would be sought.

Pet approval the key to dating success Arecent poll undertaken by VetShopAustralia.com. au has revealed pet approval is the newest criterion to make the unwritten list of dating rules.

This result was recently discovered by asking pet owners whether they would date someone their pet didn’t like. Respondents indicated that their pet’s approval of the potential boyfriend/girlfriend must be given before they will date them.

Australia-wide results of the poll showed 82 per cent of respondents answered they would definitely not date someone their pet didn’t like, only three per cent said that it wouldn’t bother them, 10 per cent would only if the date looked like George Clooney, and three per cent only if the date looked like Angelina Jolie. USA poll results also showed this to be a global trend.

Dr Mark Perissinotto, head vet at VetShopAustralia. com.au believes that because pets have now become accepted as family members, their opinion is valued greater when making decisions such as whom they should date.

Dr Perissinotto suggested some ways to make a good first impression when meeting your date’s pet include letting the pet approach you first, staying confident to avoid the pet sensing any anxiety, bringing treats along and crouching down at eye level upon first meeting.

“Impressing a date is no longer just about roses, chocolates and candlelit dinners; it seems getting the bark of approval from a certain furry friend might now be the secret to scoring yourself a second date,” Dr Perissinotto said.

NEWS v District

Ask the men’s health question REPORTER LES PEARSON CONTINUES HIS ‘MOVEMBER’ CAMPAIGN DEPRESSION: It is rarely discussed or mentioned amongst groups of mates around rural South Australia.

I don’t consider it taboo as such but from what I can tell, it is just one of those health subjects that is rarely brought up in conversation.

Guys are more likely to mention ingrown toenails, having a knackered back or ‘getting the snip’ in comparison. Before today, I had a vague understanding on what depression actually is.

The Beyond Blue website proved to be an amazing fount of information. Within an hour, while I don’t declare to be an expert on the subject, my level of understanding would

have increased 10-fold. The first thing I picked up is there are five main types of depression with different symptoms, which may require different treatments.

These range from major (or clinical) depression, a depressed mood that lasts for at least two weeks, to the milder dysthymia, a less severe depressed mood that lasts for years.

There’s also psychotic depression, mixed depression and anxiety and bipolar disorder, which involves periods of feeling low and high.

The thing is, for something rarely mentioned amongst blokes, it’s about as common as a blowfly on a dead sheep’s carcass.

On average, one in eight men

will experience depression in their lifetime. It is generally caused by a mix of recent events and other longer-term or personal risk factors.

Considering farmers tend to risk large amounts of money to secure an income each year, mostly reliant on favourable weather conditions, it comes as no surprise this stress can often result in depression.

In tough periods, the effect on rural communities is reflected in the statistics.

The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) reported rates of suicide in regional and remote areas are 1.2 to 2.4 times higher than those in major cities. It’s a morbid statistic but all the same, an

extremely sobering thought. We’ve got to be better and what country people do best.

Being a good mate and looking out for one another.

Depression is an illness that is likely to get worse if left untreated.

If you notice any behavioural changes that last for more than two weeks in family members or friends, then it is worth asking if the person may be depressed.

If you think you may be suffering from depression, there are plenty of checklists online that are quick, easy and confidential.

The questions are designed to help you reflect on your situation or that of someone close to you.

Variety is the spice of life New, sweeter capsicum for Virginia growers

LOCAL greenhouse growers from the Virginia district are likely to take on producing new variety of sweet pepper (capsicum) to meet market demand.

Leading sweet pepper breeding company, Enza Zaden, recently hosted a sweet pepper technical dinner in Adelaide recently, attended by Virginia-based producers.

The company, with local distribution partners Terranova Seeds, VG Seeds and 4Ways Fresh Produce Packhouse, invited innovative growers to be their guests for the evening, which was a mix of technical discussion, food, wine and generous prizes.

The night focused on how to achieve high quality blocky fruit by growing quality variety Relampago, keeping moisture and fertility stable during irrigation, methods of plant pruning, and harvest techniques amongst other technical issues.

“Progressive growers based in Virginia are changing the market to high quality ‘blocky’ sweet peppers,” Enza Zaden Oceania sales person, Herman van der Gulik said.

Relampago is one highly sought after ‘blocky’ variety.

“Blocky sweet peppers are about five per cent of the total market at present,” Mr van der Gulik said.

“The blocky types are high quality and local growers compliment the high value imports from New Zealand “The production of blocky sweet peppers is increasing by

LES Pearson: Yes, this is the same picture as last week.

However, they will tell you if you have symptoms that are common in people with depression.

Balaklava Courthouse Gallery is planning a Christmas Festival for its last exhibition for 2011.

He explained the Relampago variety would relish the Australian growing conditions, perfect for growing a high-quality product.

“We would like growers to produce more blocky types to improve their profitability and specifically Relampago because it is an improvement over other blocky varieties,” Mr van der Gulik said. “Relampago regularly produces the highest quality fruit in cold and hot conditions with high production levels.”

The function was a means of both building relationships with the growers, while discussing the latest techniques and trends and having some fun along the way.

“We held the grower evening because growers wanted to know how to grow the new blocky types and improve their profitability,” Mr van der Gulik said.

“Our distributor asked for a way to get the information to the growers in a fun way.”

Brice Hill tourism award

CLARE Valley tourist icon, Brice Hill Country Lodge, will only prove more popular after taking out the silver medal in the best Hosted Accommodation category in the recent 2011 South Australian Tourism Awards.

Coming behind gold winner, Seppetsfield Vineyard Cottage, Brice Hill also boasts an impressive list of previous awards.

In 2009 they won the deluxe accommodation award in the Jim Barry Clare Valley Tourism Awards, in 2010 receiving silver for the SA Tourism Awards and also in 2010 winning category of Deluxe/Hosted Accommodation in the Clare Valley Regional Tourism Awards.

All guests participated in a photo competition by wearing ridiculous props and photographed as sailors, pirates, pilots, spies and cowboys.

“The pink feather boas proved to be very popular,” Mr van der Gulik laughed.

A return travel prize for two to Vietnam and Relampago seed was given away to growers.

“I have never had so much fun at a technical night,” VG Seeds owner, Steve Hauber said.

“I couldn’t believe how everyone joined in and had so much fun, ” 4Ways Fresh Produce Packhouse spokesperson, Duy Ly said.

Mr van der Gulik believed based on the event’s success, it was likely more similar functions will be held for local growers in the future.

“Enza Zaden was very happy to assist local growers by holding technical events and after this successful night we will certainly do it again,” he said.

Plan for E-Waste disposal

Compost a real help to environment Composting your garden cuttings and kitchen scraps allows the recapture and reuse of valuable nutrients and organic matter.

Keeping garden cuttings out of landfill also prevents the production and release of methane, a greenhouse gas with more than 20 times the global warming capacity of carbon dioxide.

Garden cuttings include leaves, grass clippings, branches, flowers, sawdust, woodchips and bark.

When garden cuttings and

NOVEMBER 7-13 other organic material (like food) are sent to landfill, they decompose without oxygen (anaerobically) to produce the methane.

The use of compost in gardening, landscaping, horticulture and in agriculture also reduces watering and helps repair soils suffering from poor management.

But you don’t have to do all this yourself if you don’t have the facilties or space at home.

This year Planet Ark is targeting car batteries, other electronic waste and office paper in particular, as many householders and businesses are unsure of how to dispose of these materials.

Until recently there wasn’t much that Australians could do with them.

There are now well-established, nationwide networks for the responsible collection and recycling of used batteries thanks to Battery World and Century Yuasa.

n One of the most common questions about recycling is whether to clean jars, cans and pizza boxes etc before they can go in the recycling bin.

Small amounts of food don’t interfere with the glass and steel recycling process. Scrape all solid food scraps out of jars and cans and then put them in the recycling bin. You can lightly rinse jars and cans – but why not use left over washing up or rinsing water?

It’s ready, set, go as headers rev up

State award to ‘wizard’ of cereal science

START ON PEAS – BUT FROST KNOCKS YIELD LIKE a bunch of kids at the beach, farmers around the region have been excitedly ‘testing the water’ with their crops, which are fast ripening and about ready to harvest.

Most growers in the district will be in the full swing of harvest by the end of the week.

It’s an exciting time, another eight months work culminating in the rich rewards most will be reaping over the next six to eight weeks.

“It won’t be too long and everyone will be cranked right up I reckon,” Mount Templeton grower, Rick Lamond, said.

Rick said a lot of his barley still was a bit green.

“With that last rain, we had a bit of regrowth come through our barley, so we will be on to wheat probably this week,” he said.

“Then we will wait for the barley to dry out a bit more then get back onto that.”

He has been reaping a few pea crops in recent days, the frost from late September taking its toll.

“When that frost came through, it sat in the hollow here,” Rick said.

“There is a lot of difference in the peas from here compared to the ones closer to home.”

It is literally only a matter of metres between pea crops affected badly, and those that weren’t.

Many growers claim it is the worst frost damage on a pea crop they have seen.

“I wasn’t expecting it,”Rick said. “I sprayed this paddock for grubs before the frost and this lot were looking like the best paddock of peas we had.

“I can’t believe how much dam-

2011-2012

age it did to the yield. It’s knocked it back to virtually nothing.”

He estimated the crop was previously likely to yield between eight to 10 bags an acre, but was reaping at about two bags.

The end product also needed extra cleaning before it could be sold.

With peas at about $320 a ton and previously fetching up to $350, the damage, while costly, is also well concealed inside the pods.

“The crop looks good but there’s nothing in there,” Rick said.

n RICK Lamond says frost hit a good pea crop – the frost damaged peas shown above against a healthy pea.

One of the State’s leading scientists, Professor Peter Langridge from the Australian Centre for Plant Functional Genomics, has been named South Australia’s 2011 Scientist of the Year.

Presenting the award last week, Science and Information Economy Minister, Tom Kenyon said the award was recognition of Professor Langridge’s significant contribution to improving agricultural products in South Australia over a 30 year career.

“Professor Langridge is chief executive officer for the Australian Centre for Plant Functional Genomics, which plays a key role in driving innovative applications of plant genomics technology critical to ensuring global food security,” Mr Kenyon said.

“He provides support and advice to many programs in the developed and developing world aimed at improving the speed and sophistication of cereal breeding programs,” Mr Kenyon said.

The Scientist of the Year receives $20,000

Are you ready for harvest Harvest is a vital time of the year, making your Combine and Baler arguably your most important pieces of machinery. It therefore makes sense to maintain your machine using genuine parts. Replacing original with original ensures you know the quality and reliability of the new part, as it is exactly the same as the one coming out, direct from the factory.

There are many variables that can change during harvest. Ensuring your machine is ready to operate efficiently when you need it is important. Don’t risk being unprepared this season, simply ask your dealer for genuine AGCO parts.

You can rely on AGCO genuine parts – they all carry a 12-month warranty.

Grain growers are encouraged to “future proof” their farm machinery investment by factoring the evolution of agricultural technology into their equipment purchase decisions against currently available machinery.

The advice comes from central New South Wales primary producer and Nuffield Scholar James Hassall, who has studied the future role of precision agriculture (PA) and the new technologies being developed to enhance PA. Mr Hassall says the development of new PA electronic equipment has allowed growers to increase the efficiency of their operations and develop new farming practices.

However, the technology can become superseded relatively quickly and does not tend to hold its capital value.

Speaking at recent Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) technical research Updates in the southern cropping region, Mr Hassall gave growers an insight into the future of agricultural technology and what it means for machinery currently in use.

The GRDC-supported Nuffield Scholar from Gilgandra said most current PA equipment was based around the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and that the United States and Russia were planning updates to their systems, while the European Union and China were planning to launch their own systems.

“This will significantly improve the accuracy and robustness of satellite navi-

gation, but will require new receivers to be purchased. However, the timeframe of the upgrade is around 10 years so may not influence purchasing decisions in the short term,” Mr Hassall said.

There was a major push from farmers and equipment manufacturers for standardisation between different PA equipment and the associated data.

In relation to boomspray technology, Mr Hassall said research was being conducted into further advancing application control across the boom, driven by increasing boom widths and wider travel speeds.

“A lot of this work is centred around controlling the application rate and spray pattern of individual nozzles,” he said.

“Another line of research is based around further advancing the concept of weed identification and automatic spot spraying.”

While Jennifer travels from Moonta Bay, she feels most as home when living out her passion in the grain industry of the Adelaide Plains.

“It’s something I’ve always had an interest and passion in, and now I am part of an elite program which is highly regarded in the industry,” Jennifer said.

industry and aims to develop the industry’s leadership skills, knowledge and potential.

Participants are also required to complete individual, industryrelevant leadership projects, and this is where Jennifer hopes to bring her dream of designer blended grain to life.

“Blending wheat essentially creates designer blends which are more consistent and

stable, Jennifer said.

“This benefits growers, the millers see value, and value equals dollars.”

While Jennifer has had this idea for a while, she now believes she can achieve it through the program.

“Now I have the ability to make findings and act on the results,” she said.

The participants took part in a face-to-face workshop in Canberra on October 12 to 14,

2011-2012

and Jennifer found this to be inspiring for the road ahead.

“I got more out of it than I expected, we did public speaking modules, communication style modules and also heard from a range of speakers,” Jennifer said.

Over the next 10 months the group will meet industry leaders, visit entrepreneurs and successful businesses, participate in a range of workshops and

activities designed to develop leadership knowledge and skills, and receive communication and media training.

Throughout the program, Jennifer will still continue her role as a commodity trader at AGD in Balaklava.

“It’s definitely the right career to be in to stretch myself,” Jennifer said.

In reviewing harvest receival information released by Viterra last week, SAFF Grains vice chair, Gulnare farmer Philip Wilsdon, said the industry had only been provided with total weekly deliveries by zone.

“There is no information relating to what commodity it is let alone quality or the site the grain has been delivered to,” Mr Wilsden said.

“If the first receival report is any indication, these are going to be virtually meaningless and I doubt even the media would find it useful.”

Referring to a separate report available on Viterra’s ezigrain website, Mr Wilsden said provision of quality information was welcome; however quantity data was also required.

Banking on the Adelaide Plains

It was once a newcomer to Australian agriculture circles – but today, 20 years later, Rabobank Australia has become one of the largest rural lenders and a significant provider of corporate financial services to the food and agribusiness sector.

With 61 branches across Australia – six strategically situated in South Australia – Rabobank has been rated the best agribusiness bank in Australia in the past six consecutive Merrill Lynch Business Banking Reviews.

Operating in 48 countries, it is ranked among the world’s 25 largest financial institutions.

Rabobank established an office in Australia in 1990 and acquired the Primary Industry Bank of Australia (PIBA) in 1994. From this platform the bank has continued to expand.

Scott Jenkin, Rabobank Adelaide, said the Adelaide Plains represented a very important region for Rabobank’s ongoing growth and commitment to rural and regional South Australia.

“The Adelaide Plains is a quality cropping area and looks set to produce another aboveaverage crop yield this year,” Mr Jenkin said.

“Logistical issues at harvest has been a hot topic of discussion locally with the experiences of last season still fresh in grain growers’ minds. The upcoming above-average harvest, combined with the carry-over of grain, has the potential to reproduce this issue.”

Mr Jenkin is based in the Rabobank Adelaide branch and has been with the bank for eight years. Raised on a farm near Mount

Gambier, he has a strong background in agriculture and a passion for the industry.

Alongside Mr Jenkin at the Rabobank Adelaide branch is Barossa Valley local from Greenock, Peter Robinson. With 30 years of banking industry experience, Mr Robinson has a strong affinity with rural communities having worked in country locations across South Australia and the Northern Territory including Yorketown, Kadina, Alice Springs and the South East.

Both Mr Jenkin and Mr Robinson are servicing the Adelaide Plains farming community with dedication.

Mr Robinson said the Adelaide Plains was a reliable farming area with “switched on” farmers and businesses supporting agriculture.

A STREAMLINED, efficient delivery system will greet the region’s growers at the Australian Milling Group (AMG) Bowmans site this season.

AMG operations manager, Ben Wigzell, (pictured at the Bowmans silos) said the company had started taking deliveries of new season’s grains and final touches were being made to have the site set for a big harvest.

“Basically, we’ve been going through preparations including getting the place cleaned up ready for the onslaught of harvest,” Mr Wigzell said.

New drive-over points of delivery are part of the vast upgrades undertaken during the autumn and winter seasons, ahead of becoming an anticipated bulk export facility.

The drive over delivery points were put in place and operational as of Monday.

Mr Wigzell said the upgrades would have carriers unloaded and on the road again much faster than last year.

“At any one time we will have five points of delivery open, so we can offer fairly quick turnaround times,” he said.

AMG will also have two delivery points for the one segregation, allowing simulta-

Upgraded AMG set to go and expecting top quality neous multiple deliveries of the same class of lentil.

It is only a matter of months before the export facility is fully operational.

“Work is continuing on our cleaning operations. That’s scheduled to be finished by the end of November and our bagging operations are to be finished in early February at this stage,” Mr Wigzell said.

He said when operational, the production mill should be able to process about 700 to 800 tonnes per day.

Weather permitting; a good season is on the cards after last year’s late rains downgraded much of the 2010 produce.

“We’re expecting a good quality product,” Mr Wigzell said.

A new office is also under construction at the Bowmans site.

Hygiene key to grain storage If you are thinking about storing grain on-farm this season, make sure you do it well – and plan for it.

Such is the advice of grain storage specialist Peter Botta as more farmers choose to store grain on farm to give themselves more harvest flexibility and marketing control.

Peter is involved in the grain storage extension project, funded by the Grains Research and

Development Corporation. He says there are several advantages to storing your own grain, but quality control becomes your responsibility, so it needs to be taken seriously.

“Local depots, such as those owned by the bulk grain companies have carefully developed strategies for biosecurity, grain quality and pest control,”he said.

“As increasing volumes of grain is stored on farm, we need

to ensure a high standard so we build and maintain the reputation of growers’off farm deliveries to end users,” Peter said.

“The ultimate key to good grain storage is hygiene.

“Where you have any sheltered sites inside silos or equipment with grain residues, I can almost guarantee insects are breeding there right now – the increasing warm conditions of spring are perfect.

“Insects favour headers, augers and storage facilities, as well as old grain bags or grain residue. Growers need to keep these areas clean, remove insect protected shelter sites and mow weeds around storages.

“It’s a great investment of your time, and in terms of cost it’s really very small.” n Go to GRDC’s stored grain website www.storedgrain. com.au.

IT is important to check silos, headers and augers for insect infestation, says Peter Botta.

Schulz family honoured for oats success The National Oat Breeding Program has recognised the seven year contribution a Yorke Peninsula family has made to its success.

South Kilkerran farmer Lyall Schulz and his family, including wife Cynthia and sons Scott and Brett, have been responsible for facilitating the oats breeding program on their property.

The Schulz family’s involvement began in 2004 with trial plots from the national breeding program.

The family is also involved with the initial and ongoing multiplication of improved hay varieties released from the National Breeding Program through the Australian Field Crop Association (AFCA) which is the sole seed multiplier for Australian Exporters Company (AEXCO).

AEXCO is a not-for-profit organisation representing the majority of export hay processors located in

AT the Plant Research Centre at Waite (from left) Professor Pauline Mooney, Lyall Schulz, Peter McCormack, Murray Smith, and Dr Pamela Zwer.

South Australia, Western Australia, Victoria, and southern New South Wales. The company was formed to tender for commercialising rights for new oat hay variety releases.

AEXCO was selected by the South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI) as the successful company to commercialise new hay varieties beginning

in 2001.

Money collected by AEXCO goes back into the industry to fund much needed research and development and build future export markets for all farmers.

“We started with two tonnes of Wintaroo basic seed which has now produced 1.4 m tonnes of export hay nationally,” Mr Schulz said.

“From a small beginning it has turned into a very big success story.

It’s been a pleasure to work with SARDI principal plant breeder, Dr Pamela Zwer, SARDI manager oat development, Peter McCormack, and the whole national oat breeding program team.”

Dr Zwer said two new hay varieties, Tammar and Forester will be available to growers in 2012.

Tammar is about seven to 10 days later than Wintaroo and Forester is about three weeks later than Wintaroo.

Balco Australia marketing director, Murray Smith, who is also chairman of AEXCO said the National Oat Breeding Program which concentrates on both hay and grain is the only program that develops oat hay varieties in the world.

“We are conscious of the need to continually improve the quality of

Weather app does everything but plant a crop In an Australian-first, farmers will have access to farming-specific weather information on the go, through the new Elders Weather app.

Based on the Elders Weather website, one of Australia’s most popular commercial weather websites, the iPhone app can display weather for more than 2,000 Australian locations, key international locations and features a Delta T

traffic light indicator which can be used by farmers to determine ideal spraying conditions.

Elders general manager - sales, marketing and supply, Mark Geraghty, said farmers of all types would benefit.

“For example, cropping farmers can plan their spraying activities by using Delta T and livestock producers can use the satellite map to view forecasted rainfall and make

decisions about when to move their stock,” he said.

“With the app you can check three hourly forecasts up to 48 hours in advance, chance of rain, wind data and the useful 12 month rainfall data will include forecasts for local districts.”

The app also features a local radar map. It is available on the App Store for $1.99 and requires a mobile internet or WI FI connection.

our hay to the export market,” Mr Smith said.

“As the end users around the world continually look to enhance their production outcomes it is imperative our growers continue to improve quality so they can achieve it.

“The National Oat Breeding Program is pivotal to this success as without them we would still be growing varieties with little or no disease resistance.

“The domestic market is also getting the flow on benefits of this initiative with the improved agronomic and quality traits.”

SARDI Executive Director Professor Pauline Mooney thanked Mr Schulz for his contribution and presented him with a plaque at the Plant Research Centre at Waite on October 11.

New barley has export appeal

A new barley variety, Bass, was launched at the Australian Barley Technical Symposium, recently held in Adelaide.

Bass comes from InterGrain’s barley breeding program, the same program that gave Australia Baudin, the variety which revolutionised malting quality for the Australian barley industry and become an international benchmark for quality in export markets.

Bass, previously known by the breeding code, WABAR2315, matches Baudin for malting quality making it perfectly suited to export malt markets.

InterGrain barley breeder, Dr Reg Lance said its superiority to Baudin came through improved grain plumpness, the best of any elite malting variety currently grown in Australia, and improved yield and disease resistance relative to Baudin.

In areas targeted for its release, the yield of Bass is comparable to that of Commander, recognised as one of the highest yielding current malting varieties. With its excellent export malting quality, Bass is expected to be more sought after by large export markets.

It is undergoing its second year of evaluation. The brewing stage is expected to be finalised by February.

Location, location, location!

At last we had the kind of night most people enjoy. It was warm but not too warm, and the games were easily played with most players wanting to play more!

Junior players were fast and furious. If they look they will realise that it is not how you start, but how you finish.

They will also realise, as Dribbler did some years ago, that there is a right way to shoot…and many wrong ways.

Chris Veitch is one player who impresses Dribbler, as he knows how to layup and also has a great flexible shooting action.

He is not the only one. “Old Dog” Nigel Olsen has the action and great under-the-basket positioning. Lachlan Michael doesn’t top score without having the action.

Neither do Renee McPharlin or Brianna Wedding.

There were some top shots in the ‘cliff hanger’ between the Pumas and the Redlegs, with the Florence girls showing what practice and style does. However, they didn’t make it as the Redlegs showed what Dribbler predicted, with Caitlyn Moulds improving each game.

I was told Alexandra Wilson wasn’t playing this year, but this week she led Thunder to a win in a close game. Dribbler wonders what she’ll do when she is fit!

The Bulldogs girls are looking strong again this year, giving Long Plains a thumping.

Dribbler reckons there is some hope for Longies as they are developing a playing style which Dribbler thinks will pay off later when it is learnt.

The Peckers are looking good in the A Men and gave us a great spectacle. Not so much of a spectacle in the other game, but there was excitement, with the Avon Bulls

pipping the Bulldogs by one. The Bulldogs have yet to learn how to put their height to advantage. Dribbler reckons they need to ask ‘lethal Leigh’ or ‘no nonsense Nigel’ for some advice.

The Under 18 Boy’s competition has been close with many talented players.

Dribbler has great admiration for coach Jill Taylor, who patiently and craftily guides the Redlegs team.

Trailing for most of the game, they managed to finish in front at the end.

Kerri Blackwell is another great personality who plays, coaches and umpires and each of these – very well. She was the coach of the other team, Long Plains. Her heart must have skipped a beat, as did Dribbler’s, when in the last quarter Duane Wilson put up a leadestablishing three pointer. It looked like the sealer but then it inspired Chris Veitch to do the same. It was Zac Zilm’s three pointer, however, that was the sealer. Shooting goals is what make the score but it takes more than one player.

Dribbler thinks there are plenty of players who need to make better decisions with regard to when to shoot, especially some of the youngsters. Leo Lu and Jesse Zilm made many good decisions and could perhaps be another reason their game was so exciting.

One thing is for sure…there will be some great games next week!

See you Friday night.

Balaklava Green draws with Hamley Bridge REPORT:

By John Glistak, WMBA secretary Though Hamley Bridge walked away with the match points, the talk of the round was Balaklava Green’s great effort in securing a draw against Hamley Bridge.

The premiers were expected to easily account for bottom side Balaklava Green but the events of the day did not follow the script.

Anthony O’Brien (HB) and Philip Rex (HB) secured six and eight shot wins over their respective opponents – Chris Cowan (BGr) and Olsen (BGr) – but it was David Lamond’s (BGr) 14 shot win over Cris Donohue (HB) that generated the draw.

If only the head on that last end had been more helpful for Balaklava Green, Lamond could have sent down his last bowl hoping to win the match. Alas, that was not the case, and Lamond chose to declare the head to guarantee the draw rather than perhaps a narrow loss.

Owen and Balaklava Gold also featured in a titanic battle, with Balaklava Gold eventually winning by the solitary shot.

Barry Taylor (BGo) and Geoff Harkness (O) could not be separated in their match. Trevor Clifford (BGo) had a seven shot win over Graham Simpson (O), which was just enough to cover Peter Thomp-

Saturday was just a brief taste of what bowlers could expect this summer, with warm weather greeting all bowlers.

Surprisingly, with the advent of these conditions, upsets and close results were noted. son’s (BGo) six shot loss to Brian Parker (O).

Riverton had a 15 shot win over Wasleys with all rinks up. This would appear, on face value, to be a comfortable win for Riverton but it was far from it.

Wasleys battled hard all match, and at times, held the lead in two of the three rinks before Riverton was able to secure the points.

Jason McMillan (R) had a four shot win over D Olive (W); Neil Rogers (R) defeated Denis McQuade (W) by three shots; and Barry Mullins (R) accounted for Wayne Grady (W) by eight shots.

Should the performance displayed against Riverton continue in

Can Wasleys continue their winning form?

n JOE Tily, Hamley Bridge notes the score during Saturday’s Division Two match at Tarlee. their remaining matches, Wasleys will prove to be a challenge for all sides in the competition.

The final match saw Port Wakefield defeat Mallala by eleven shots with two rinks up.

Greg McPharlin (PW) had a seven shot advantage over Ken Roberts (M) while Will McPharlin (PW) defeated Peter Furst by 16 shots. Mallala’s only success was Brian Smith’s 12 shot win over Ray Murphy (PW).

After five Division One rounds, only two skippers remain undefeated – Darcy Rex (HB) and Greg McPharlin (PW). A listing of the top 10 skippers (who have played five matches) appears below.

What will this weekend’s Division One round have to offer?

The feature match is likely to be the clash between Riverton and Owen. This clash has always been a tight affair in the past but on recent results, Riverton should easily account for Owen.

Wasleys host Hamley Bridge in what could be an interesting contest.

Will Hamley Bridge bounce back from a disappointing result the previous week? Can Wasleys continue to produce the same effort it showed against Riverton?

On paper, Hamley Bridge would be favoured to win here, but bowlers would not be surprised to see Wasleys cause an upset.

In the remaining matches, Port Wakefield should prove too strong for Balaklava Green while Balaklava Gold will account for Mallala.

Owen leading Division Two The feature match in Division Two last weekend saw leaders Port Wakefield Blue host second placed Owen, with top spot up for grabs to the winners.

With two rinks up, Owen defeated Port Wakefield Blue by 12 shots to take over top position.

Les Hean (O) defeated Rob Studham (PWB) by 10 shots; Roger Uppill (O) defeated Williams (PWB) by a similar margin while Phil Fontaine (PWB) accounted for Peter Sullivan (O) by eight shots.

Third placed Hamley White lost their first match for the season, with Mallala White securing a three shot win.

Mick King (MW) had a narrow two shot win over Alan Fyfe (HW); John Curnow (MW) defeated Mick Nichols (HW) by 14 shots while John Bell (HW) proved too strong for Forrest (MW).

Other winners on the day were Mallala Black, Riverton White, Riverton Black, Hamley Red and Tarlee White.

The feature match this weekend will see Hamley White travel to Tarlee White.

Both sides occupy positions in the top five which will ensure that a close contest is likely.

Local derbies always create a lot of interest and this weekend’s clash between the two Riverton sides will be no exception.

Cherie Cleary’s Flintstones were pipped at the post by the absent Emily Taylor’s Grinches 3-27 to 3-21 in an excellent match last Thursday night. Clare Howard filled in for Emily, while Dr Daniel Lu made his tennis debut. Acting Grinches captain Fran Henderson was too consistent for opponent Peter Rohrlach, but he managed to take their last set with Flinty fill-in Alexandra Wilson, who had a better sized racquet this week. Michelle Williams, also filling in for the Flintys, had to work hard against top Grinch Jarek Flight.

Bec Houston’s Nemos had a big win 6-31 to 0-18 over David Northcott’s Shreks, but every set bar one was a 5-3 or tiebreaker, so the match was closer than the final score indicates. David N and Emmalee Lomman were unlucky to lose a tie to Bec and Keanan Catford, while Sue Nicholson and opponent Bridget Guthberg were consistent having 5-3s in every set. David and Keanan had some great rallies as did Megan Shepherd and Kylie Scott. It could’ve gone either way!

The final Division Two match was a close one, with Mary Heslop’s Incredibles notching up their first win, 4-26 to 2-24 over Diane Gregor’s Simpsons. Wade Hudson made his return to night tennis, playing for the Incredibles and was thrown into it, playing two teibreakers and a 5-3 against young gun Robert McNair. Simpsons’ Carolyn Mutton was promoted to top spot and did well against Ben Mayne, with some good rallies played. Simpsons’ Danielle Murphy had a slow start but got warmed up and won her last two sets much to her opponent Tany Heslop’s chagrin. The two captains, Diane and Mary had a battle royale, including a tie and 5-3 which Mary won, but Diane finally won the lucky third set in slightly easier style.

The Division One matches all had 4-2 scorelines with just the games varying.

Louise Michael’s Terminators were once again terminated, coming second 4-26 to 2-25 to the absent Scott McDonald’s Die Hards.Termys’ Jarrad Thiele and Cherie Cmrlec came second in a tie to fill-in Dustin Guthberg and Leonie McCrostie, then a bit of partner swapping went on, only for Cherie and Chris Curnow to come second 3-5 to

Gary and Leonie. Jarrad seemed to like ties, having another one with Louise, finally winning over Dustin and Dougie Howard.

Louise and Chris, and opponents Gary and Dougie thought they’d quite like to have yet another tie, with the latter winning that. The last two sets were not close, with Die Hards Gary and Dustin winning well and Termys Cherie and Louise winning even better, but it wasn’t enough! Maybe next week.

Pauline Hill’s Top Guns were in top shape defeating Darren Scholz’s previously undefeated Lethal Weapons 4-32 to 2-18.

Lisa Redpath on a bye, filled in for Gun Joy Ryan, and got a workout with tow ties and a 5-3 against the cunning old girl Julia Hoskin all night. Julia won bragging rights winning both ties. Top young gun, Adam Pratt had to pull out the big serves against Colin Mutton and they had some great hard-hitting rallies. The youngest gun, Jordan Taylor was in hysterics in his last set against Scholzy as Dazza had the grunting sound effects happening, which actually made him hit harder. JT tried to stay out of the way while partner Pauline Hill chased down Scholy’z shots and pounded them back…it was entertaining to watch! After two horror sets, Pauline’s opponent Di Taylor finally got on the board, winning an epic tie with Julia. A high quality match with comedy thrown in.

Marty Brice’s Ghostbusters scraped through to defeat Andrew Lane’s Bad Boys, 4-28 to 2-20 in a very tight contest. Laney and Kerry Williams had a good win over Gary Wehr and Kathryn Taylor, but team mates ‘Where’s Wally?’ Treverton and Tanya Greenshields only just managed to save their daks against Marty and Helen Barry. The next two sets saw identical 6-2 scores, ending one apiece.

So it was down to the last two, with Marty heard giving his team a pep talk and quietly telling the fat lady to start warming up the vocal chords. It worked as Helen and Kathryn won theirs 6-2. Gary and Marty were pushed by the determined Laney and Wally but just managed to win a long 5-3, so the fat lady sang and Marty joined in. Apparently Marty thinks he’s the next Zac Efron!

A reminder that subs are due now.

Please pay ASAP to Marie Heaslip or Louise.

Bakers and confectioners of the early 1900’s Heritage Highlights

Bread was, and probably still is, regarded as the “staff of life,” so it stands to reason that every town would have had a baker’s shop, where bread was made on site.

Some of the early bakery names locally included Kitto, Ward, Tilbrook, Bennett, and Peek.

When the Central Advocate was first published on September 25, 1903, this advertisement appeared; “A good dinner today at Kitto’s Bakery…Families waited on daily…Tea and coffee obtainable at any hour…Tea Meetings, Picnics, and Parties supplied…Wedding and Birthday Cakes a specialty.

Kitto’s were celebrating 10 years in business and seeking continued patronage so, no doubt, there was at least one other bakery in the town at that time.

is proud of the quality of his small goods…a very reliable and competent caterer…Visitors, farmers etc., can rely on receiving every attention, and a cup of tea that rushes a tired feeling right away…There are many ways of making tea.

Mr Peek’s assistants know how to serve it up properly.

“In 1909, Mr TL Doyle advertised his business of Butcher and Baker at Hamley Bridge…Only the Best in each Department…Entrust your Order to me and you are bound to be satisfied.

In 1910, The Wakefield Sun ran an advertisement for J Lovell, operator of the Pioneer Bakery at Port Wakefield…best bread…pastry and cakes…at reasonable prices.

The 1933 ‘Back to Balaklava’ booklet promoted two bakers

by Norma Schopp

‘Prosperous Balaklava’, first published in 1908, featured two bakers and confectioners; “Mr HW Ward, who began his bakery about 1904,…has a large delivery round, and is noted for the excellence of his wedding cakes…Picnics are catered for, also smoke socials etc., in a thoroughly satisfactory manner…these rooms are a great convenience to many country people, and are fully appreciated.

“His opposition in business at that time was Mr ET Peek whose bread is equal to the best, and ETP

and confectioners; Mr Augustus Tilbrook learnt his trade at Moonta, then came to Balaklava in 1920, and worked at Peeks and Mullner’s bakeries, before purchasing his own business in Wallace Street in 1925. Of his cakes and pastry, Mr Tilbrook says our goods are the best.

His rival was Mr GL Bennett who learnt his trade at Gawler, later working at Laura and Gladstone, before purchasing the business of Mr JR Mayes in Fisher Street in 1928. He proudly advertised that he had a Frigidaire Installed.

There have been many different names attached to bakeries in Balaklava over the years, and there is no doubt each ran profitable businesses. It’s a pity that bread is no longer made locally!

Titled “Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage: 1982 – 2011”, the album features 40 tracks spanning the early years for the alternative rock band, to some tracks never released before.

All the hits are there, of course, including “Losing My Religion”, “Everybody Hurts”, “It’s the End of the World, As We Know It” and “Bad Day”.

There is one song, I consider to be an REM classic which rarely gets as much acclaim as the band’s other hits.

“Imitation Of Life” was released as a single by the band in 2001 and while it did chart reasonably, it rarely hit such heights as other REM anthems.

Still, it stands as one of my personal favourite REM songs, so I’m pleased to see it sitting proudly amongst the greatest hits from the band spanning three decades.

Tune in next time, ‘coz I’m Mr Brightside.

Pascoe ‘tilting’ towards world title n TEAMMATES Chris Pascoe and Simon Cohrs at the Australian Sidecar Championships earlier this year.

Close results in men’s bowls

NOTHING gets the blood pumping for Windsor speed-demon, Chris Pascoe, like sidecar racing.

However, the butterflies are sure to be fluttering inside as this weekend nears, when Pascoe, paired up with Mildura teammate, Simon Cohrs, will have a tilt at the world title in the 2011 FIM Track Racing Sidecar 1000cc World Championship Final at Murray Bridge on Saturday night.

The rider list and starting draw, as declared by the International Motorcycling Federation, has Pascoe listed as one of seven Australian teams on the start line.

Pascoe will be taking on reigning world champion, Mick Headland.

The Australians will face strong competition from some of the best track sidecar riders and passengers from New Zealand and Great Britain.

It is currently the off-season for the South Australian sidecar competitors, so to compensate, Pascoe and Cohrs have ventured up for three race meets in northern Queensland last month, as well as doing some practise locally.

Murray Bridge has been a successful hunting ground for Pascoe in the past.

“I normally seem to do alright there,” he said.

With the world title within reach,

REPORT:

By Les Pearson Pascoe is pushing for a top four finish this weekend.

“It is probably harder to win the Australian title than the world title,” he said.

“Australians tend to be the strongest in the world at sidecar racing, so there are about eight teams out of the 16 that have a really good chance of winning it.”

The top eight point scorers from the five preliminary races will decide the two semi final fields, the top two from each semi final qualify for the final.

A solid finish in the world championships would cap off a solid 12 months for Pascoe, who claimed fourth

place in the Australian championships earlier this year.

Sidecar racing has been in his blood since birth, Pascoe’s father, Darren, introducing him to the sport.

“I guess it was a natural progression,” Pascoe said.

“Just the adrenaline rush, you don’t get a bigger buzz out of anything else I reckon.”

It will be a bittersweet event for Pascoe, who usually races with his brother, Adam, as the passenger.

A crash earlier in the year left Adam with some serious injuries, Cohrs taking over for the Australian titles.

Pascoe said Adam would still be getting around the team this weekend.

“He’ll be supporting us and wants us to win it, he’s still part of the team,” he said.
