Those valiant few
The few valiant ANZAC veterans left in Balaklava will today stand tall as we remember those who fought at Gallipoli during World War I – and all the other heroes of Australia’s world conflicts. Membership of Balaklava’s RSL subbranch is slowly dwindling, with the six men from our World War II armed services pictured above making themselves available for this historic picture. • They are (from left) Arthur Diercks, Don Beare, Doug Sutton, Norm Kester,

Peter Shaughnessy and Eric Catford. Others were not available for our photograph. This year marks 70 years since war came to Australia’s shores in Darwin – from February 19 through to November, 1942 and again in March 1943. According to the Australian War Memorial website, more than 260 Japanese fighters and bombers attacked the port and shipping in the harbour twice during the day on February 19, killing 252 Al-
lied service personnel and civilians. On March 3, Broome, in Western Australia, was strafed. In succeeding months air attacks were made on many towns in northern Australia including Wyndham, Port Hedland and Derby in Western Australia, Darwin and Katherine in the Northern Territory, Townsville and Mossman in Queensland, and Horn Island in the Torres Strait. The 64th, and last, air raid on Darwin
occurred on 12 November 1943. In total there were 97 air attacks on northern Australia and enemy air reconnaissance over the region continued through much of 1944. Despite popular fears, these raids were not the precursor to an invasion but they did serve to interrupt the use of Darwin’s port facilities. The raids also tied up anti aircraft defences and air force units that would have otherwise been sent to more forward areas.

APPLICATIONS have opened for funding from the Federal government for tools, new activities and more local workspaces under the men’s sheds program. Up to $10,000 in federal support is available to men’s sheds in the region. Federal Member for Wakefield Nick Champion, encouraged shed groups to apply under the government’s latest funding round. Applications close May 25. There are more than 700 men’s sheds in Australia, with more than 55,000 members. Facilitated locally by a number of organisations, the sheds provide tools and space primarily for men to work together on meaningful projects. The program is funded by the Australian government because it helps encourage preventative health care among men who work in the sheds alongside their friends. “Anyone interested in starting a shed or wanting funds to improve an existing one, should apply for funding under this unique Australian program,” Mr Champion said. Local sheds can apply for up to $4000 for tools and equipment. They can also apply for up to $6000 to improve existing buildings or make improvements like better disability access, insurance and connection to utilities such as power, water, and communications. Up to $5000 is available for local fundraising costs such as venues for public meetings, barbecues, cold storage, print flyers or other promotional items. Application forms are available from the Australian Men’s Sheds Association website at www.menshed.org
That’s neighbourly! BALAKLAVA Neighbourhood Shed has won the monthly KESAB service award. Nancy Williams, Balaklava judge for the service and garden awards, presented the award to shed members on Tuesday. On May 1, the popular shed will celebrate its second anniversary. Recently a pergola (shown right) was erected and
wicker beds for garden have arrived. • PICTURED are Nancy Williams with Dick May; Graham Lawrie, Brian Noyce, John Warren, Ruth Arikawe, Melvin Zerk, Sharon Munce, Bruce Moffatt, Ken Harkness, Kerri Hewitt, Dulcie Williams, Wayne Wilkinson, Daph Butler and Robert Bartholoaeus.

NEWS v District
They wait for the break WHILE some areas of the state enjoyed a solid drenching over the weekend, the break of the sowing season could be a few weeks away for local farmers. Roseworthy (8.6mm), Two Wells (7.6mm), Balaklava (7mm) received the most rainfall in the district over the weekend, while other Mid North centres such as Blyth (2mm) and
Brinkworth (trace) were less fortunate. Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster, Darren Ray, said the region was relatively unlucky compared to some other agricultural areas. “Looking at the rainfall totals, there have been some in the last few days of 20 to 30mm in Lower Eyre, Yorke Peninsula, Kangaroo Island,
and some parts of the Mount Lofty Ranges – but elsewhere totals were generally less than 10mm,” he said. The short term forecast is for more wintry conditions but rain of any great substance appears unlikely. “There are some weak cold fronts due over the next week or so that will see small rainfall totals over southern agricultural areas,
but no more significant follow up rain in that period,” Mr Ray said. “Rainfall is looking to remain below average through the remainder of April into May.” The key indicators of a break of season are also proving evasive at the moment. “There is no indication of a strong pulse of tropical
activity in coming weeks to trigger a widespread rain event,” Mr Ray explained. “In fact, any tropical activity looks to largely remain focussed in the Pacific for the next two to three weeks at least away from Australia. “So, it does look like areas that missed out in this event will have to wait for a late start to the growing season in mid to late May.”

Slowly the wheels will turn
AS some farmers around the district patiently await the break of season to get on their tractors to put their crops in, Hoyleton growers, Ashley Robinson and son, Tom, are getting right into the swing of seeding. Tom, a fourth generation farmer on the property, said they had a set sowing routine each year and had already put in 400 acres of canola. “We’ve always been calendar sowers,” he explained. “This year was a bit earlier. We had good sub-soil moisture. “We saw this rain coming on the radar and

got (equipment) ready, then away we went.” While the Robinsons generally sow some canola, they have beefed up their acreage this year in place of lentils, peas and beans. “This year, we’re putting in a few more paddocks just because of the price,” Tom said. “Farmers around this area are pretty good at growing canola now. It’s not as risky as growing lentils or beans.” That risk is generally attributed to potential frost.
BALAKLAVA
“It’s always windy here at Hoyleton,” Tom laughed. “Every morning we’ll have a howling easterly, which keeps the frost away.” The Robinsons have backdated their canola sowing program from the start of next month, to ensure they begin planting their wheat in May. “We’ll always sow wheat on May 1 and it depends on the program what normally goes in before the wheat,” Tom explained. “We’ve sort of worked it forward and decided this is when we would have to start to get all the canola in by May 1.”
Obviously, that leaves little room for waiting around in between for a genuine break of season. “As soon as we start, we’ll just keep on going,” Tom said. With so many varieties, the Robinsons are splitting up their cropping into four different types of wheat. Tom said their main acreage would be Mace, while they will also plant some Magenta (now APW), Scout and new variety, Cobra. “We’re just trying to hedge our bets a bit,” he said.

PORT WAKEFIELD:
Woman Council spends assaulted on community groups at home
ABOUT $45,000 worth of community projects were allocated funding from Wakefield Regional Council’s (WRC) Sport and Recreation Facilities Grant Program (SRFGP). The program is an annual funding initiative for community groups around the council district to secure finance for various projects specific to their town or district. Ten applicants from around the district shared in the $45,598 funding from the program. Hamley Bridge Community and Sports Centre (CSC) secured $5000 from the program as part of a $28,000 project to apply a new concept plan for the whole sporting complex area. The CSC also picked up a $5000 grant towards a $13,000 project to upgrade lighting, barbecue power, levelling and planting of grass in the sports centre area. Blyth Progress Association picked up $1846 to help fund building a new public built-in barbecue and seating and table settings in town, costing about $4000. An $8000 kitchen upgrade to comply

Blyth Golf Club successfully applied for $11000 to purchase a new $2200 poly rainwater tank. Hummocks Watchman Eagles Football Club picked up $1226 to help fund a $1849 lighting upgrade at Port Wakefield oval. Snowtown Centenary Park will receive $10,000 towards the skate park in Snowtown. Balaklava Area Committee’s proposed $13,000 Liptrot Cycling Trail was another project to receive support, attracting a $5000 grant. Finally, Balaklava Pony Club will receive about $2500 to go towards a $5500 project to develop the Peter Menadue Memorial arena. The recommended allocations were carried at last week’s WRC meeting. Balaklava Area Committee (BAC)
chairman, Terry Williams, said he was “absolutely thrilled” with council’s allocation . “Approval of the $5,000 for the Liptrot cycle trail is real acknowledgement by council of this important community project,” Terry said. “The funding will be allocated to signage, distance markers, seating and other items necessary to help people along the trail. “It is council’s first allocation of funds to the trail and it is so important because it supports BAC’s efforts to get the trail started this year. “Initial spending will go towards the first section to the golf club, but of course there’s the eventual target of getting the trail to Halbury. More signs and seats will be needed there. “The pony club is only a small group – but its project is just as deserving as many others. On behalf of BAC and all town community groups, my thanks to council and elected members for their support of the various district projects.”
Shamus Liptrot cycle trail planning in progress PLANNING is continuing for the Shamus Liptrot cycle trail, with a meeting to take place soon between Wakefield Regional Council officers and Balaklava Area Committee. This will tackle the logistics of constructing the trail along the former railway corridor to create the first stage to Balaklava Golf Club. It is intended the trail eventually will travel from Balaklava to Halbury, but grant funding will be necessary, meaning the trail could be constructed in stages over some years. BAC received an anonymous donation of $13,300 to support construction of the first
stage to the golf club. Before any work can start a licence agreement must be arranged for use of the land between WRC and the Department of Environment and Planning (DENR) which controls the former railway corridor to Halbury and beyond. BAC chairman, Terry Williams, said work on the trail was contingent on this agreement being finalised. “It’s been a long procress, but we really can’t make a start until this occurs, although I

Hendra warning for horses The Australian Veterinary Association is warning horse owners to take precautions against Hendra virus as the season for the infection approaches. AVA President, Dr Barry Smyth, said with Hendra cases on the rise, particularly in the eastern states, anyone working with horses should take caution around any sick horse. “Our knowledge of how the Hendra virus is spread is still limited, and it is difficult to predict what effect the recent wet weather will have,” Dr Smyth said. “We do know that the Hendra virus is present in all flying fox populations and that the virus can shed at particular times with the fluid secretion of the flying fox including from saliva and urine. “Horse owners should take caution around places flying foxes congregate and move horses and their food and water away from contaminated areas, particularly under trees, where high concentrations of virus material are deposited from bats. “People should also take precautions around horses with suspected signs of Hendra virus,” he said. 4 www.plainsproducer.com.au
am still hoping we can make a super effort to get to the golf club by the end of May. Never say never,” he said. Council would oversee construction but some voluntary work will be needed. “We are definitely going to need some help transporting dolomite from quarries to the site, so I will be calling on anyone with a truck to volunteer to deliver a load or two,” Terry said. “I know farmers will be busy with seeding but I am hoping they can help out at some stage. “And the local transport operators are always good supporters of community projects.
I hope they will support us.” No date has yet been set for work to start. “Watch the Plains Producer for more information in coming editions,” Terry said. “However, if you would like to register your interest to deliver some dolomite, please call me on 8862 1977.” • Fundraising for the Liptrot trail also is continuing, with a “gala evening” planned for Saturday, May 26 at Balaklava Town Hall. Tickets for table of 10 cost $70 and are available at Tads, Balaklava. For more details on the gala evning, go to shamusliptrot.biketrail@hotmail.com

Road fatalities
• THERE were two tragic fatalities on local roads over the past week. On Friday, a 55-year-old man from Virginia died at the scene of a crash at the intersection of Angle Vale Road and Johns Road early in the afternoon. About 12.30pm, police were called to the scene at Virginia, where a tractor and a motorcycle had crashed. “The motorcycle rider died at the scene,” SAPOL Major Crash Investigation Unit Senior Sergeant Dave Kuchenmeister said. Investigations into the cause are continuing. Major Crash Investigators are appealing to members of the public who may have witnessed the crash to please contact BankSA Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or report information online at www. sa.crimestoppers.com.au. • A second fatality on Saturday night capped a horror week on local roads. About 10pm, police, CFS and ambulance crews were called to a single vehicle crash on the Thiele Highway, about two kilometres towards Feeling, where a car had left the road and crashed into a tree, bursting into flames. Three occupants managed to escape but the driver, a 17-year-old from Windsor Gardens, died at the scene before rescuers could get to him.

ell it’s started. Miss Six has asked for her first music download. Yes, like a miniature office boss she’s waltzed up to my desk and requested the latest popular single be downloaded to her music player. In my day, I asked my Mum for a cassette. In her day, she asked hers for a 45 rpm record. Not Miss Six. She was born into a digital era where even though you can purchase music on compact disc, objectless internet sourced music is preferred. Apparently it’s more convenient and better for the environment. Forgive me my early onset of fuddyduddyness here, but have we lost something special? Where is the tangible delight I remember in lining up with my $2 note (yes, note) in Brashes to purchase ‘Let’s Get Physical’ on cassette single? I remember waking up early on a Saturday morning, dressing in my best and bouncing around the house in eager anticipation for the weekly shopping trip. Once I had that little square of plastic in my hands it made all the pocket money earning chores seem worthwhile. I’d flip through the glossy paper insert looking at pictures of the musicians and if it was a really good tape, the lyrics would be included! How can we inspire that feeling of fervent excitement in children that we had as kids? There’s none of that with a digital download, and so it’s little wonder that after making Miss Six earn the ‘download’ by doing house jobs, the response to the new purchase was little more than apathy in comparison to what I remember feeling. Maybe I have it wrong. Miss Six sure does seem to love the music she chose. Maybe I’m romanticising my early retail experiences, but I think it was better in my day!
Where’s the delight in a download?
Netball club first to gain sponsorship:
Virginia boosted by Buckland developer VIRGINIA Netball Club is one of the first community groups in the local area to benefit from the proposed new town and community to be created at Buckland Park. Developer Walker Corporation on Monday announced it will support Virginia netball club for the 2012 season. Walker Corporation, which recently committed an initial $76 million to develop the new master planned community at Buckland Park – to be known as Riverlea – will sponsor Virginia “to help build relationships within the local community.” “We’re pleased to be supporting an organisation that brings the community together in a very positive way and we’re proud to announce this partnership,” development manager, Simon Kay, said. “Walker Corporation currently has a small team working from offices at Virginia. The town will also be the closest neighbour to the new community at Buckland Park so it made sense to focus our support here. “Over the next few years we’ll be exploring and developing other grassroots programs that likewise benefit the region. “We wish the Virginia play-
ers best of luck for the season ahead.” Walker Corporation’s sponsorship of the Virginia Netball Club will provide new uniforms for all 65 players, assist with production of the Club newsletter and deliver additional equipment including drink bottles, sports bags and first aid kits. Spectators at the games in Virginia and Gawler will also notice Walker Corporation signage at both venues as well as Walker logos on the training tops of Virginia players. Virginia Netball Club sec-
retary, Lisa Masson, said the company contacted the club earlier this season. “The support is definitely appreciated by both the football and netball clubs,” she said, “A lot of the community tend to get more into the football side of things so it’s good to see some support for the netball club as well.” The new uniforms have been used since the start of the season. “The old ones were getting a bit faded, so these look much better,” Mrs Masson said. Mr Kay said when complete, Walker Corporation’s new master planned community at Buckland Park will be 50 percent larger than the city of Mount Gambier and will therefore play a significant role in shaping the future of Adelaide’s north. “It will deliver employment,

We recognise our role in supporting organisations like the Virginia Netball Club that matter to residents in the area. “Through ongoing community engagement, we aim to ensure they continue to thrive alongside the new community and can benefit from infrastructure, facilities and opportunities that it will bring.” Member for Taylor Leesa Vlahos MP said Walker Corporation’s sponsorship of Virginia Netball Club demonstrated leadership and a commitment to the local community. “I am very pleased to see this community involvement by Walker Corporation. This is a recognition of the immense impact of community organisations and sporting groups in our local communities,” she said. “The sponsorship of the Virginia Netball Club shows a high level of corporate responsibility and leadership from those at Walker Corporation.”

AUTHOR Liz Harfull with her new book – and librarian Keira James with Liz’s successful Blue Ribbon cookbook. LEFT: Liz signs a book for Heather Beare.
Sally Crowther reports: Many community members were inspired last Thursday when author Liz Harfull met with driven rural people at her “Women of the Land” book signing at the Balaklava library. Liz’s book, reveals the reality that work in agriculture, farming and related businesses is not just for men, providing eight in depth stories from rural women and the challenges they have faced on the land. “I was approached by a publisher to write a book on rural lives, but from a woman’s perspective, so I decided to collect the inspirational stories from women who run their own farms,” Liz said. The book tells the story of eight women who each successfully run their own farms,
despite many obstacles. “The way all tackled the task and the wisdom they gained in the process is truly inspiring,” Liz said. Liz, who grew up on a small farm in Mount Gambier, hopes from reading the book, people will understand it is not only men who can lead in the farming industry.
“Women in the rural industry aren’t widely accepted,” Liz said. Research as part of Australian Year of the Farmer 2012 campaign, reveals 92 per cent of Australians think men are more likely to work in agriculture, farming and other related industries. Australian Bureau of Statistics recent labour force data shows of 250,000 agribusiness jobs in Australia, more than 50,000 belong to women. “These stories prove women can also run farms, and will hopefully stop the allegations that it is a man’s job,” Liz said.

Council helps Snowtown bus plan
Saddleworth-Marrabel safer drive coming soon Motorists will soon experience a safer ride along the Saddleworth to Marrabel roads after maintenance began on Monday. The Department of Planning, Transport, and Infrastructure (DPTI) will begin routine shoulder widening along the Saddleworth to Marrabel Road. During the works, speed and lane restrictions will be in place. Works are expected to be complete by July, weather permitting. The project is funded by the State government through the Shoulder Sealing Program at a cost of $1.8 million.
funded public transport services available. Given the bus is only a 12-seater, anyone with a standard driver’s licence can drive it, making it widely accessible to the community. Cr Stevens explained it would mostly be utilised by local sporting clubs, transporting junior players to and from training at low cost. He said it was another example of the Snowtown community working proactively to provide better services to the town and surrounding residents.
Snowtown Community Management Committee (CMC) is another step closer to completing its fundraising to purchase a 12-seater community bus. Wakefield Regional Council agreed to help sponsor the purchase of the bus by allocating $1000 in both the 2012/13 and 2013/14 budgets to assist with funding. Northern Ward councillor, Greg Stevens, explained the bus would be open to community use without stringent criteria determining if they could access the service or not, such as what happens with other council
“The community decided they needed a bus, just like they wanted a skate park. They’ve found most of the money so far, and are asking council to donate $1000 towards it,” he said. Council then carried the motion to sponsor the purchase of the bus. Snowtown CMC member Bernie Keech, who helped develop the initiative, was appreciative of council’s support. The bus the CMC is looking to purchase has had an RAA inspection and CMC members expect to have it in a fortnight.

Gilbert Valley Lions club has taken part in the Australia-wide Lions Biggest BBQ. Held annually throughout Australia, it raises funds for Childhood Cancer Research. The Club set up in Scholz Park in Riverton and had a steady stream of locals and tourists call in for lunch on Friday, April 20. Organiser, Lion Frank Gorey, said $270 was raised and this would be part of the Australian
total. More than $100,000 was raised last year. Lions have been supporting Childhood Cancer since 1976, and through the work of the Foundation the success rate has improved so that now 80 per cent of children diagnosed are cured, but Lions’ aim is for this to be increased to a 100 per cent success rate. More than 600 children are diagnosed annually so the need for this research is ongoing.

Pin will recognise role of family
Service to our nation HERE are the service records of the six men from Balaklava RSL who served in World War II. The records (in brief) were accessed from data supplied through the Australian War Memorial’s website. The Plains Producer acknowledges many more men and women from our region served – and continue to serve – in various Australian services. We asked the group pictured to appear in the photograph on page 1 and reproduced here because membership at Balaklava sub-branch is dwindling. Some other members were not available on the day. Appearing from left to right are: Arthur Diercks first enlisted in the Australian Army in February 1943 as a
Craftsman. Arthur spent 18 months of his service in the 2/137 Brigade Workshop in New Guinea, and was discharged in April 1946. “ANZAC Day is a time when all old members can get together for a reunion to remember the past,” Arthur said D o n a l d Ed w i n Beare joined the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) in July 1942 as a Leading Air Craftman (LAC), working as a flight mechanic. Don discharged in May 1945 when he was serving in the 120 Squadron. “ANZAC Day is the

most important day of all,” Don said. Douglas Charles Sutton joined the RAAF in January 1943 as a Leading Air Craftman (LAC). Douglas was posted at 3 Personnel Depot as a driver before he was discharged in February 1946,. “ANZAC Day means a lot of sadness, and a lot of remembering the fallen,” he said. Norman John Kester enlisted in the Royal Australian Navy in February, 1943, as an Able Seaman gunner. When he discharged in
1946, Norman was serving on HMAS Cerberus. “ANZAC Day means a lot to me, like it does to every other veteran. “It’s a very special day, and it’s important the tradition is carried on,” Norman said. P e t e r H o wa r d Shaughnessy is another who joined the RAAF, in February 1943 as a Leading Air Craftman (LAC). In February 1946, Peter discharged when he was serving at 9 Transport and Movement Office. “If we hadn’t done it, who knows what would have hap-
pened. We did the best with what we had and we can’t let the future generations forget,” Peter said. Eric John Catford joined the RAAF on March 1943 as a Leading Air Craftman (LAC). Serving in both Northern Territory and Morotai in New Guinea, Eric worked as an aircraft maintenance engineer. Eric was posted at 18 Squadron before he was discharged in February 1946. “ANZAC day means more about Gallipoli, something we should all remember,” Eric said.
FAMILIES of defence force personnel will receive a new pin of recognition for the service of their loved ones. Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, and Defence Minister, Warren Snowdon, recently announced the release of the “Pin of Recognition” initiative. Family members across the services will receive the pin if their loved one is deployed in a dangerous conflict zone. Federal Member for Wakefield, Nick Champion, welcomed the announcement. “This is a terrific initiative with the new pin to recognise the special role family members take on when our military personnel serve abroad,” Mr Champion said. Mr Champion said the Department of Defence would work with family support organisations, including Defence Families Australia on the design of the pin. It is expected the new pin will be released later this year. For more information contact the Wakefield Electorate Office on 8284 2422.

SPECIAL FEATURE v SENIORS
Seniors ‘living better’ with new plan
Under landmark changes to the aged care system, more people will get to keep their home, and more people will get to stay in their home as they receive aged care. Prime Minister, Julia Gillard and the Minister for Ageing, Mark Butler, have announced a 10-year plan to reshape aged care, beginning 1 July, 2012. The Labor government says it will deliver the $3.7 billion Living Longer Living Better plan to deliver more choice, easier access and better care for older Australians and their families. To make it easier for older Australians to stay in their homes while they receive care, the government announced it would increase the number of Home Care Packages- from 59,876 to almost 100,000 (99,669). Tailored care packages will be
provided to people receiving home care, and there is new funding for dementia care. Costs will be capped, so full pensioners pay no more than the basic fee. Prime Minister Gillard said the new plan would ensure more people got to keep their family home and prevent anyone being forced to sell their home in an emergency fire sale. The Federal government will: • Provide more choice about how to pay for care. Instead of a bond which can cost up to $2.6 million and bears no resemblance to the actual cost of accommodation, people will be able to pay through a lump sum or a periodic payment, or a combination of both. • Give families time to make a decision about how to pay, by introducing a cooling-off period. • Cap care costs, with nobody pay-
ing more than $25,000 a year and no more than $60,000 over a lifetime. “For the first time, we will also introduce fairness into the payment system,” Ms Gillard said. “Right now, pensioners often pay more than people with hundreds of thousands of dollars in assets and a private income. As a result, pensioners are subsidising the accommodation and care costs of millionaires. “From now on the system will be fairer, based on capacity to pay. The amount you pay for aged care services will be capped and underpinned by tightened means testing, meaning older Australians will not be forced into a fire sale of the family home in order to get access to aged care.” This will not affect the million people already in the system, who will not pay a cent more than they would have under the current arrangements.
To ensure there are immediate improvements as well, the government will also: • Increase residential aged care places from 191,522 to 221,103 • Fund $1.2 billion to improve the aged care workforce through a Workforce Compact. Provide more funding for dementia care in aged care, and more support for services. Establish a single gateway to all aged care services, to make them easier to access and navigate. Set stricter standards, with greater oversight of aged care. “This package reflects in large part what older Australians, their families and carers, and aged care providers have told us is wrong with the system, along with the valuable input of the Productivity Commission report, Caring for Older Australians,”
BALAKLAVA SUPPORT IS VITAL:
Unsure? Turn to the aged care guardian
You can count on Carers Link Since opening the Balaklava office in October last year, Carers Link has been able to provide more assistance to carers in the form of support, advice, professional counselling and organising respite. Before the Balaklava office opened, Carers Link offered carer support and respite from its Clare office to the Wakefield and Mallala areas. The staff at the Balaklava office are always willing to assist, with two permanent staff members Tara and Tash, as well as other staff who now rotate their time between Balaklava and Clare. There are also a dozen support workers who provide in-home care
and respite throughout the region. Carers Link Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Steve Lowe, who spends at least a day at the Balaklava office each week, says the office is a valuable community asset. “Since opening last year, we have had a much greater response within the community,” Steve said. For a large number of aged and disabled persons and their loved ones, the option to retain independence at home or in the community is very important.

Ms Gillard said. “These reforms will enable older Australians to get the help they both need and deserve so they can remain living in their own homes for as long as possible. “Labor’s plan will help older Australians keep their own home for as long as they want.” The changes replace an aged care system designed a quarter of a century ago and which is now ill-equipped to meet the needs of retiring baby boomers and their parents, who are living longer and healthier lives. Implementation of the reforms will be overseen by a new Aged Care Reform Implementation Council. The new reform package will be implemented in stages to enable providers and consumers to gain early benefits of key changes and have time to adapt and plan for further reform over the 10 years.

There’s no excuse for abuse. Older people should be able to enjoy their later years but a significant number must deal with abuse or mistreatment by someone they should be able to trust. It’s often a hidden problem because older people can be reluctant to seek help. The Aged Rights Advocacy Service (ARAS) supports older people who are being mistreated or abused by someone they should be able to trust and encourages people to speak up about it. For example Jack contacted ARAS when his son bullied him into giving him money which was never repaid; Mary when her daughter moved into her home and would not contribute to the household costs. ARAS was funded by ‘Improving with Age’ to raise awareness across South Australia about safeguarding the rights of older people through brochures, community radio announcements and features in the local press. Advocates provide confidential information, options and strategies to assist people regain control of their lives and decision making. Written information is available including a pocket guide, “Regaining Your Control” booklet and a five-brochure kit about Safeguarding Your Finances. ARAS also provides independent information and advice about the rights and entitlements of older people and their carers using residential aged care or community aged care services. ARAS is a free, confidential, state-wide service and advocates can visit people at home. 4 To speak to an advocate, book a guest speaker for your group, or order publications please call 8232 5377 or 1800 700 600.

For more than 20 years Country Home Advocacy Project (CHAP) has been the pre-eminent provider of home support services for frail older people across Yorke Peninsula, the Lower North, Wakefield Plains and Gawler/ Barossa. Chief executive officer, Erik Moen, said CHAP was proud of the quality of services it provided to more than 1000 clients across that area. “We are proud of our reputation and look forward to continuing that work and enhancing the services we provide in the future.” For most of the last six months,CHAP has maintained an office in the Health Centre at Balaklava hospital. However, arrangements are now in place for CHAP to share the main street premises currently used by optometrist Paul Carpenter at 13 Edith terrace, Balaklava. Mr Moen said this would mean easier access for CHAP clients and contractors. The office will be open from
10am–4pm each Tuesday and Thursday. “We welcome clients, contractors or the general public to call in and chat to one of our friendly and helpful staff who can assist with information about our services or to help resolve any queries you might have,” Mr Moen said. “We are grateful to Paul for agreeing to share his premises” CHAP’s home support services are provided by people in local communities who work for clients as independent contractors. Mr Moen said more people were required to do this work. “For people who might be interested we can offer the opportunity to negotiate your remuneration, flexibility to negotiate working times, choose the amount of time you work and (you will) derive huge satisfaction from knowing what a difference you make in people’s lives,” Mr Moen said. “We would love to hear from interested people.” 4 Contact Kath Hampel on 8565 8100.

are no different from other city funeral directors, and Balaklava deserves no less,’ Mark said. Mark Forgie gave the welcome at the service, with Wakefield Regional Council mayor, James Maitland, performing the official opening. A large crowd of guests gathered for the opening and enjoyed a light luncheon afterwards. Local Pastors were involved in the service including Pastor Errol Meaney from Balaklava Uniting Church, Pastor Carel Haasbroek, Balaklava Church of Christ, Pastor Rob Lawson, Lighthouse Christian Centre, Mr Ray Billing from Balaklva Anglican Church, Pastor Miria Davies, Balaklava Family Church and Pastor Neil Davies, Balaklava Family Church. “This is something else for the town so people don’t have to travel out of the district to get the same service,” Mark said.
Our region at ‘coalface’ of climate change challenge Understanding the potential impact of climate change on SA communities is a key focus of draft guidelines which will be the first of their type in Australia. SA’s Local Government Association has prepared the model with input from the CSIRO, Bureau of Meterology, the SA Departments of Premier and Cabinet, and Environment and Natural Resources and 15 Councils, Regional
Development and Natural Resource Management bodies in the Central Local Government Region (CLGR) stretching from Yorke Peninsula to Flinders Ranges. CLGR, which includes Wakefield Regional Council (WRC) is at the point of discussing how to implement the recommendations from the report, in concert with regional development and NRM boards.
CLGR chairman, WRC mayor, James Maitland, said having the base work done with other government agencies had given the councils more confidence. “We’re having a discussion now about the process of community engagement which will be crucial to moving forward for all parties.” LGA president, Kym McHugh, said the guidelines would help a region produce an
integrated assessment of areas which would be vulnerable to impacts of climate change. “It is about getting key agencies working in regions to identify and respond to possible long-term changes from climate change, such as increased frequency of coastal storm surge and flooding, shifts in rainfall patterns, higher risk of bushfires, or a greater frequency of flooding,” he said.

From the back page. Barnett couldn’t quite pin-point why his team drifted out of the match but believed the lads weren’t beaten by fitness. “It’s hard to say but I would like to think not,” he said. While the Bombers are probably not unfit, the case could be made Two Wells’preseason starting in November meant they were just fitter. Regardless, Barnett was not looking for excuses. “Our effort in the last quarter was embarrassing,” he said. Lee Allmond starred for the Roosters up forward, booting six goals. He was supported by the versatile Andrew Hardiman (four goals), who played at centre half forward, while youngster, Tim Hines (four goals), was also handy. Midfielder, Ben Spiteri was back to his lively self and starred in the win, as did the elusive Eamon Fetherstonhaugh.
Former Woodville/West Torrens star, Jared Allmond, picked up some sparkling touches and set up play across half back and ruckman, Simon Feast, took control in the centre circle. Thomson said while the team’s fitness was a handy weapon, he didn’t plan on basing a game style around it. “I think the fitness will look after itself,” he said. Rotations are on the menu in future matches though. “I would have liked to have rotated a few guys through the midfield who didn’t touch the ball a lot during the game,” Thomson revealed. This involved mainly backline players, who saw little of the ball later in the second half. Another tough challenge presents itself this week. “We’ve got Hummocks Watchman Eagles next and we can’t take them lightly,” Thomson said. Until then, the Roosters will be
working on their delivery into the forward 50. “We wasted a fair few going in on Saturday,” Thomson said. Barnett has a few injury concerns on top of ruckman, James Sullivan, who missed most of the match on the weekend. With 14 new faces in the team last week compared to last season, it may take some time for the group to gel. “It will probably take the first five or six games before we work out how well we match up,” Barnett said. “Depth-wise, we have six or seven that could step up to it from the B grade and I think it’s not something we’ve had at the club for a while.” The Bombers host United for their first home game of the year, Barnett demanding commitment from his players in coming weeks. “With a bit of luck, we’ll get a couple of wins on the board before the bye,” he said.

Eagles’ experience earns win THE cool, experienced head of Hummocks-Watchman Eagles guided the team to a workman-like 17-point win over United at Long Plains in Saturday’s round two contest. United kicked straight in greasy conditions in the first half to lead by 11 points by half time, but the Eagles steadily pegged them back in the third and last quarters to pull away with a wellearned win. With the contest hanging by a thread, Eagles coach, Nathan Young, gave his team a rev up at half time, directing criticism at his players’ delivery and decisionmaking. “We just had to use the ball a lot better,” Young said. United were flooding players back into the Eagles’ forward line, making long, indirect kicking relatively ineffective. A noticeably trimmeddown Joel Wilson became more prominent and Young moved Ryan Reid to the midfield. “His (Reid’s) experience, larger body and ball use in the slippery conditions made a big difference,” Young said. There was speculation Wilson did look proppy in the latter stages of the match. Tigers coach, Travis Opitz, agreed with his opposite number’s summation of the game. “Their experienced guys, like Ryan Reid and Joel Wilson, played really well,” he said. HWE recruit, forward Matthew Bryant, provided a target, but conditions meant it wasn’t a big man’s contest. New Eagles, Scott Tregenza and Daniel

Hendry, performed brilliantly on the wing and across halfback. “They fit in really well, showed good skills and hit the ball hard,” Young said. For the Tigers, Heath Pym backed up his round one efforts and ruckman, Will Banton, battled manfully. Opitz was also pleased with tough nut, Mikey Brown, who battled through most of the match despite copping a heavy knock. Youngster, Mitchell McIntyre, bobbed up for a goal as well, a good sign

the Final Siren with Les Pearson for the emerging juniors at the club. “He kicked a goal and I thought he was good,” Opitz said. “It was a huge positive for us I reckon.” New recruit, Peter Valle from Golden Grove, also slotted two goals.
In the Eagles camp, Young was glad to see a consistent effort. “We grinded out four quarters, so we may have lost the same game last year,” he said. The Eagles host a rampant Two Wells, keen on notching backto-back wins.
“I think they’ll be the big improvers this year and they’ve got a good fast running game, so it should be a tough week,” Young said, “Our forward line needs a lot of work and our delivery into it.” For Opitz, the coming few weeks will present
new challenges with injuries taking their toll on the weekend. He said the Tigers had 16 fit players left on the field half way through the third quarter. Jack Chapman, who was playing well in the back pocket, copped a heavy knock and went off. Brandon Merry struggled with an AC joint problem, Adam Pratt also went down with injury and Adam Mansfield went to hospital with a gashed eye. “Things aren’t going so well at the moment,”
Opitz chuckled. With Damien Priest and Ben Sobey still to return, there is still time to turn things around, although a hungry Hamley Bridge will be out to strike first blood this weekend. “There’s a lot of work to do for us this year, we’re behind the 8-ball a bit now,” Opitz said. “We just need to keep plugging away and get some wins under our belt. “The guys are still really positive and we’re getting some good numbers on the track now.”

‘Pies in nail-biter MALLALA made it two wins from as many matches by getting up in a rain-soaked A grade nail-biter by seven points against Virginia on Saturday. Rain fell throughout the match, the greasy conditions bringing the game to ground level and producing a scrappy, hard-fought affair. Both teams crashed in from the get-go but despite their endeavours, neither could put a major on the board. In fact, goals were only scored in two of the match’s four quarters. The second term picked up for the scorers, the Rams adding two goals and three behinds, while the Magpies, without star midfielder, Jason Earl, stacked on three goals and one point to carry a two-point lead into the main break. The third term was a dour performance scoring-wise, Mallala coach, Steve Lubcke, highlighting as when his players began to get on top. “In the third quarter, we had a majority of the play and controlled the game but it didn’t show on the scoreboard,” he said. Three goals in the last quarter helped keep the Rams at bay while scoring was tough but Virginia hit back hard and nearly stole it with two goals for the term. “We started the last quarter really well but to their credit, they came right back at us,” Lubcke said. “We just sort of hung on in the end.” Final analysis showed Virginia registering more scoring shots than Mallala, 14 attempts to 11. “We did have our opportunities but Mallala’s midfield stood up when it needed to,” Virginia coach, Greg Phillips said. The Rams brought two new youngsters alongside fellow rookie, Lewis Bannear, under 17s Corey Stronach and Anton Pogas putting in solid games. “I was very impressed with the efforts of both those kids,” Phillips said. “It is probably the first time in a while we’ve played three under 17s in the A grade, so it’s good for them to be able to adjust to the tempo and keep those kids coming through.” For the Magpies, the standard names of midfielders, Christian Rimmer, Joel Montgomerie and Liam Whitwell, again appear in the best players but the contributions of Mallala’s defence was a highlight for Lubcke. Tim Cawrse kept gun full-forward, Brendon Niklaus, goalless, while David Cawrse battled well at centre half back and SamAngus held the dangerous Caleb Howell to account. “He (Angus) negated him really well as we had to take his influence out of the game,” Lubcke said. The coach again praised his back six and spread the compliments to his list of players for their efforts.
the Final Siren with Les Pearson “I was really happy with the way they went about it,” Lubcke said. “We negated their strengths but they also negated ours, so it became a real dogged contest. “From my research, they love to run from the backline so I made that a focus for the guys, with their forward line pressure to stamp that run out. “It probably wasn’t one for the highlights reel but I was thrilled to see the character and inner strength from the players, which if we’re to grow, we will need that going forward. “It was one of those classic footy contests, with both teams going hard at the footy.” Looking ahead, Mallala take on Balaklava at Ralli Park this weekend. “We’ve got a long way to go, as all sides do,” Lubcke said. “That’s what footy is all about. “If you want to be a premiership challenger,
you have to rise to the benchmark.” Lubcke brought junior, Jake Birchmore, up from the senior colts on the weekend and he stepped up well. “Our improvement will come from that group of second-tier players,” Lubcke said. For Viginia, Phillips saw the performance as an improvement from the loss to the Peckers the weekend before. He said his team showed good endeavour and hardness, and also came out of game almost injury-free, although big-man, Ben Galic, had knee soreness. “We’ve had two hard games to start with and it can take a while for the body to adjust to that,” Phillips said. “So, the bye coming up is probably good for us. “Then we’ve got Two Wells, who have improved, so it becomes a vital game for us in two weeks’ time.” n ram Grant Drew picks up the ball as Mallala’s Ryan Konzag closes in for a tackle during the Reserves match.

Magpies a threat in crunch match before the bounce Round 3 preview with Les Pearson Balaklava v Mallala
FRESH off the bye, Balaklava is confronted by a Mallala side undefeated after two tough matches. How much the wet slog against Virginia has taken out of the Magpie legs could be a deciding factor in what promises to be another crunch match for both teams. Mallala are likely to regain prolific ball-winner, Jason Earl, after missing the match against the Rams with general soreness.
Shane Farley is also back on the track following a hamstring strain pre-season, although not quite training at 100 per cent and might be another week away. The Peckers had the wood over the Magpies last year, registering solid wins in their two encounters but this season, it’s a whole new ball game and Balaklava would be wary of not going in with any complacency. Mallala are a threat. Stopping Joel Montgomerie’s supply to forwards Daniel Feeley and Robert Montgomery will be a big step in the right direction for a Peckers win. Conversely, Mallala’s defence of Tim and David Cawrse, along with back pocket, James Wildbore, will need to counter the influence of forwards Jonathon Brice, Glenn Dawson and Hayden Walker.
For it’s first home game of the year, the club hosts United in an acid test for both teams. A win for Hamley should calm the nerves in the coaching camp but a loss will start chins wagging about broken promises again. Ash Barnett probably deserves more credit than that, having assembled the senior squad he has. Of course, Travis Opitz and United will be out to spoil the party, a loss this week could effectively put the first nail in the coffin for the Tigers’ finals hopes. There are some injury concerns
Hamley Bridge v United
n pecker Derek Friedrichs For the Peckers, fullback Derek Friedrichs has been managing knee soreness but should be right to go come Saturday.
LAST week’s loss to Two Wells would have stung Hamley Bridge at both player and supporter levels. Touted as a year of big improvement, the Bombers have some work to do if they are to repay the faith from their supporters, who have followed their team to oblivion and back in recent years.
n tiger Heath Pym
for United but the lads are noted battlers with their backs to the wall.
The in-form Heath Pym can’t win this match on his own and will need support from the likes of Alistair Fleming and Adrian Mills, who was stellar last year. The Bombers forward line of Shane Hanson and Nathan Flynn looks just too much for the Tigers to counter but last week’s fadeout against the Roosters would give United hope.

HWE v Two Wells
WHILE it was a lean season for Two Wells last year, the Roosters did get the chocolates in one of their trips to a windy Port Wakefield oval. They will be lining up for seconds this weekend as HummocksWatchman Eagles look to defend their nest. Nobody plays the cosy confines of Port Wakefield oval better than the HWE boys, who scraped together a tough win last week to kick the season off. Conditions aren’t expected to be as slippery as the weekend just gone, which bodes for a good contest. Lee Allmond bagged seven goals for the Roosters at Port Wakefield in the corresponding fixture last season before injuring himself a week later. Allmond already has a bag of six to his name after dominating Hamley
Bridge in round one. To balance things out, Jared Allmond’s skills were utilised across half back last week but coach, Mark Thomson, could play this lad just about anywhere. New Eagles forward, Matt Bryant, will also be keen to get some goals on the board early and will probably attract the attention of Anthony Pontt or Brad Fitzgerald. HWE captain, Matt Higgs, will be key this week, especially if he has one of his “play anywhere I want to” games, where he drifts about the park, picking up touches at will. It should be another cracking encounter.
United player auction a success
UNITED Football Club raised in excess of $14,000 at it’s annual player auction, held on April 12. Auctioneer, Michael Lamont strove for top bids on all 26 players, with the highest price going to A grade captain, Simon Schulz, at $1,000, a pooled purchase by members and players. Brett Sharman and Heath Pym came in a close second, fetching $900, followed by mark Pym on $750. The Don Lindner Memorial Trophy for the Most Improved Team Player went to Andy Sharman, bought by dad, Mike. It was a great event, with a fantastic amount of funds raised for the club.

Change of seasons SATURDAY saw the first match for three of our APNA teams, and in contrast to last weekend’s heat, players faced drizzly conditions. Hummocks and Hamley won their first match for the season and Mallala secured their second win, putting them on top of the ladder. Mallala coach, Katie Krieg, jokingly said they would make the most of being at the top of the ladder; they are the only team besides Virginia to have played two games! What a different set of conditions confronted players this week. Instead of heat exhaustion threatening players, slippery courts were the nemesis! It seems Long Plains had the wettest conditions. Sam Nicholls,A1 Hummocks coach, reported several players doing the splits due to slippery courts. The Hummocks girls led from start to finish, almost doubling Long Plains’ score, 60–31. Sarah Young made an impression at WD for Hummocks, her first game back after baby Haley arrived last year. The officials awarded her best on court for the game. Coach Sam said, “We tried to play a slow and steady game as it had been raining for two hours before the match started. The team clicked together really well and it was a good team game, with the girls backing each other up and voicing encouragement.” Jane McBride had another great game for Longies, winning best player for a second week in a row. The Virginia and Mallala girls struck it
Courtside with Merridy Manuel lucky on the inside court. The game was physical nonetheless! MallalaA1 coach, Katie Krieg commented, “The score line did not reflect the intensity of the play with few fast flowing passages. The Virginia girls came out firing in the first quarter but by the end of the game we were making less errors and playing as a team.” Tessa Jarmyn was out with an ankle injury. Hopefully she will be back this weekend. Katie was pleased with how well Carla Jarmyn went moving from GD to GA, a new combination only tried at training last week. “Kerryn Obst was also playing superbly,” reported Katie, “Until an elbow to the nose during the third quarter saw her leave the court. Stalwart Jane Brown, A2 coach, filled the gap at GD and did a great job.” The tightest and most exciting game of A1 netball was at Two Wells against Hamley Bridge. Hamley eventually won by eight goals but the final score was not indicative of the rest of the game. Two Wells led by one at the first break, it was even at the second and then led by two at three quarter time. When asked what made the difference in the final quarter
to achieve a 10 goal turn-around, Hamley coach Lee Barnett thought is was mainly first game nerves that had held them back in the first three quarters. “We were like a different team in the last quarter. We have been doing fitness since February but have only been handling the ball in the last few weeks so maybe it was first game nerves.” Both coaches thought Two Wells’ defence was a significant factor. Stacey Gameau, playing coach for Two Wells said, “The defence end (Nicole Hardy WD, Mia Darling GD and Karen Penhall GK), gave Two Wells the opportunities through rebounds and intercepts to win the game, but we were unable to capitalise on these intercepts in the last quarter. Hamely Bridge scored from their intercepts in the last quarter, to ensure their team took the points.” Despite their loss, the Two Wells line-up looks promising. Nicole Darling is back from ankle surgery last year and they have picked up a new goalie in Trish Beere. WA Neralie Wearn is back from having a baby last year, as is playing coach Stacey Gameau at C, who played in A2 for most of last year. Karen Penhall has moved up from A2 in GK. GD was the position noted by officials with playing coach Lee Barnett winning best for Hamley, and Mia Darling for Two Wells. Thank you to all the A1 coaches for being so approachable and accommodating! It’s going to be a great season.

still flowed. Trisha Beere presented and shot well, as did Amber Rogers. Hamley levelled the scores at half time. TW19 – HB19. Another well fought quarter from both teams.

TWo Wells
Results from Saturday’s stableford competition, sponsored by Benny’s Landscaping Supplies. Players: 17
At last we saw a bit of rain developing as we played – we swore you could see the grass growing. Unfortunately only 17 players fronted, perhaps an outcome of playing against the Crows live and also the weather forecast of rain. A Grade saw Russell Grigg start off the 10th with birdie, birdie, par to set the tone and come in with 41 points to just beat off Paul Shields’ 40 points and Simon Grigg with 35. B Grade winner was Andrew Baker, with a fine 41 from Jeff Spackman 37 and Steve Kelly on 35. C Grade was won by John Harrison with 35, from Bingo Barnes on 32. The Match Committee had a look at the number of likely players this season, and has decided the grade limits need changing. From next week, A Grade will be 1–17, B Grade will be 18–22 and C Grade 23–36, which evens up the number of players in each grade. All Two Wells scores can be seen at: http://www.twowellsgolfclub.com.au/ Results A Grade: 41 R Grigg, 40 P Shields, 35 Simon Grigg, 33 A Bail, L Grafton, 32 R Hogg, 31 J Ball, 30 G Payne.

Spreading the news…since the 1800s One of the best ways to ‘spread the news’ has been through the publication of newspapers. In January this year, it was noted there were two national and 10 state/ territory daily newspapers, 35 regional dailies and 470 other regional and suburban newspapers in Australia. In November 1800, a transported convict named George Howe arrived in the fledgling New South Wales colony – his valuable printing skills were put to work at the government press. The colony’s first local publication was a ‘compilation of government orders’ in 1802. From a humble shed behind Government House, George Howe was also permitted to print Australia’s first newspaper – from March 5 1803, the Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser 2

News from abroad arrived on the clipper ships, so was usually 10-14 weeks out-of-date when published. William Charles Wentworth’s paper, The Australian, appeared in 1824, so there were now two competing papers. By the mid1830s NSW had seven papers; by 1841 SA had five weekly papers; and by 1854 Tasmania had 11. For SA, the first issue of The South Australian Gazette and Co-

paper, the satirical Adelaide Independent. To cater for the huge influx of German settlers to SA, the Deutsche Post was first printed in 1848, the first non-English newspaper in Australia. The Advertiser was first published in 1858 in competition with the Register, its first editor being Rev. John Henry Barrow, former Register editor. The Advertiser grew in popularity, with editor John Langdon Bonython and, in 1931, the Register ceased to be, when it was taken over by the Advertiser. Early local papers were Balaklava’s Central Advocate in 1903, Port Wakefield’s Wakefield Sun in 1910 and the Junction News at Hamley Bridge in 1940. The Central Advocate later became the Wooroora Producer and, today, is the Plains Producer.

lonial Register appeared on the streets of London on June 18, 1836. A few weeks later, the men responsible for its publication were at sea, on their way to SA. The second issue of this paper, which was commonly known as the Register, appeared on the streets of Adelaide on June 3, 1837. Messrs. The Register had a shaky start and, because Stevenson was private secretary to Governor Hindmarsh, some claimed the paper was biased in its views. James Hurtle Fisher then set up a rival newspaper, the South Australian; others to appear in 1838 were the Egotist, Adelaide Guardian, Adelaide Chronicle and Port Lincoln Herald. By 1840, the Register was running five printing presses 21 staff. In 1841, Adelaide produced Australia’s first illustrated news-

as catchy. The chorus takes the familiar lyrics from the hit single “For What It’s Worth”, released by Buffalo Springfield in 1967, but the verses are full of the classic rhymes of the FTO crew. It’s a cracking beat sure to get radio airplay in coming weeks. Another cranking beat has caught my attention recently. Everyone would have heard of The Black Keys and their hit song, “Lonely Boy”, it’s a great tune. Couple that with the brilliance of ultimate spoon playing from Deb “Spoons” Perry and you get the ultimate performance. This video is well worth a view, check it out on YouTube by entering the search terms “Deb Spoons Perry does The Black Keys”. Tune in next time, ‘coz I’m Mr Brightside.

Store closure a sad loss to community
As an Owen resident I am writing this letter to thank Rowan, Kylie, Brad, and Teagan Sheridan for the huge contribution they have made to the lives of many people in our community. As was suggested in a recent Plains Producer (April 18, Page 4) there is no doubt the loss of the school lunch trade has made the Owen store uneconomically sustainable. There is also no doubt when the store closes at the end of this month it will be missed by many people, especially the elderly. Indeed, there are many of us in the town who are incredibly sad at what has happened to the Sheridans. We are also incredibly sad all their efforts to save their business have been in vain. What a shame more people didn’t get behind them, because in the end we all lose – well, most of us anyway. Apparently some people in the town have the idea the store should have been open from 6am to 6pm to serve their particular needs. However, these expectations are quite delusional – what other town in Australia of just 320 people would have them? I am delighted the Sheridan family has chosen to live in Owen after the store closes. Reverend Flo Walters, Owen. LATE NEWS – MALLALA:
Oval plan approval District Council of Mallala has supported a formal application from the Mallala and Districts Lions Club seeking to build an ablutions block at the Mallala Oval for campers at the site. “Part of the resolution was the Lions Club facilitate an agreement with council over the ongoing management and responsibilities of the facility,” DCM chief executive officer, Charles Mansueto said. • More details in next week’s Plains Producer.

Bombers blown out of the sky
n BOMBERS captain, Craig Young can only watch on as Lachlan Franklin takes a mark for the Roosters, during Saturday’s A grade clash.
Rooster haul leaves Hamley grounded A HUGE second half effort from Two Wells blew the Hamley Bridge Bombers out of the sky in their A grade game at Two Wells on Saturday. The Bombers led by seven points at the major break in an entertaining match but dropped off severely, haemorrhaging 12 goals in the second half to one, the Roosters posting a 67-point final margin. Hamley Bridge coach, Ash Barnett, was left lamenting the loss after being reasonably happy with the first half. “We handled the conditions and matched up well, so it was a good contest early,” he said. “We just sort of left it there and didn’t come out to play after three quarter time.” Two Wells coach, Mark Thomson, said his team had 14 clearances to one in the second half and believed a swag of players could have made the best for his team. New recruit, Sam O’Brien, lined up at centre half back on Nathan Flynn, while an early change from Anthony Pontt to Brad Fitzgerald on Ham-
REPORT: Les Pearson
ley’s star forward, Shane Hanson, paid off after the dangerous goal-kicker had some majors on the board not long into the game. Thomson credited the late blow-out to his side’s stamina. “It was wet all day but it was a pretty good skill level in close,” Thomson said. “I thought our midfield ended up beating theirs and we had more fitness towards the end of the day. “We just started to beat them to the ball in the last quarter. “It sort of came through and even spectators were saying how fit the lads were after the match.” It was an interesting observation, considering Hamley Bridge endured a tough pre-season itself. n Continued page 16
ANZAC honour for outstanding players
RIGHT: The James P Woods Medal
IT’S great the Adelaide Plains Football League and Netball Association are presenting ANZAC Day medals this weekend. To honour and remember those who sacrificed themselves for our freedom is a great privilege for all footballers and netballers taking part in their respective clashes. There is one way to make this privilege more significant, to hold the matches on ANZAC Day. The mid-week ANZAC Day clashes always attract big spectator numbers in other leagues around the state and the pure excitement around the occasion pumps the players up to a new level. It almost creates an atmosphere that would rival most finals. It’s high time the league took a good hard look at getting on board this growing tradition other leagues have embarked on with great success. Now, the prestigious ANZAC Day medals are a unique award and should be received with great pride. Few sporting awards can rival their significance. So, let’s see who would be a good shot at taking home one of these honours on Saturday.

TWO special ANZAC Day medals will be presented at the conclusion of the Balaklava versus Mallala A grade football and netball matches this weekend. The James P Woods Medal (football) and Sister F R Casson Medal (netball) will be awarded to the player deemed most courageous in the respective contests. Balaklava RSL president, Peter Shaughnessy, will present the medals. James P Woods, born at Two Wells in January 1886, was a private in the 48th Battalion (S.A.) Australian Imperial Force during the First World War. He was an Australian recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to soldiers from Commonwealth countries and previous British Empire territories. On September 18, 1918, near Le Verguier, north-west of St. Quentin, France, Private Woods, 27, with a weak patrol,
REPORT: Les Pearson attacked and captured a formidable enemy post consisting of four heavy and two light machineguns.
THE Sister FR Casson Medal With two comrades, he held against heavy counterattacks. Jumping on to the parapet he fired, and kept on firing and throwing bombs, inflicting severe casualties and holding up the enemy until help arrived. Sister Florence Rebecca Casson, was nurse in the 2/13th Australian General Hospital, Australian Army Nursing Service (AANS) in WWII. She was one of 65 Australian nurses and over 250 civil-
ian men, women and children evacuated on the ship, Vyner Brooke from Singapore, three days before the fall of Malaya. The Vyner Brooke was bombed by Japanese aircraft and sunk in Banka Strait in February 1942. Of the 65 nurses on board, twelve were lost as sea and 32 survived the sinking and were captured as Prisoners of War (POWs) of which eight later died during captivity. Sister Casson, aged 34, was one of the remaining 22 nurses who also survived the sinking and were washed ashore on Radji Beach, Banka Island, where they surrendered to the Japanese, along with 25 British soldiers. On 16 February 1942 the group was massacred, the soldiers were bayoneted and the nurses were ordered to march into the sea where they were shot. Only Sister Vivian Bullwinkel and a British soldier survived the massacre. Sister Casson was the daughter of Henry and Mary Casson of Glenelg, SA.
