David and Hayley set their sights on Olympic medals

DAVID and Hayley Chapman pack their Australian Olympic team uniforms before leaving their Hoyleton home for London.

AS Australia’s Olympic athletics team have been putting in hundreds of laps to prepare for the upcoming London Olympics, Hoyleton shooter, David Chapman, has been doing hundreds of laps of his own, on his boomspray.

The local grower has been busily preparing his farm for his 19-day absence, as he flies out today in pursuit of gold.

There was no time for

Les Pearson reports: nerves, Chapman’s only thoughts centred on the task at hand.

“I’m not feeling anything too much at the moment, just trying to get work done,” he said.

“I’m just trying to keep up with the jobs, we’ve got a bit of fine weather at the moment so I’ve been doing a bit of spraying.”

There is also some sheep work to do, trying to clean them up to prevent flystrike.

The increase in workload has not taken precedence over his preparation though.

“Certainly shootingwise, I’ve just stepped it up a little bit,” Chapman said.

“I’m trying to stick to a bit of a routine and make sure I do train as well as get my jobs done.

“I can do a lot of practise without actually shooting and I try and do that for an hour and a half a day.

“Then, two or three times a week, I get out and actually shoot.”

Once in London, Chapman has pre-developed a routine in the lead-up to his event.

“The plan will be to train for a couple of days and have a day off every now and then,” he said.

“I’ll take a day or two where I can get away and relax a bit, get a mental break from the competition.

“I’ll be training but not training too much, I don’t want to overtrain and wear myself out.

“So, I’ll stick to a routine of an hour to an hour and a half training program.”

David and his daughter Hayley will make history when they compete at the Olympics, though not against each other.

They will become the nation’s first father and daughter combination to compete at the same Olympic Games in any sport.

Hayley has been busily preparing also.

“She’s been over in Melbourne, involved with a training camp,” Chapman said.

“She’s holding up reasonably well, although she may be a bit stressed out wanting to shoot well and putting more pressure on herself to perform well.”

In a fatherly way, he advises Hayley on how to relax ahead of her events but also tries to keep his distance.

“I don’t see myself as a mentor or that sort of thing but you’ve just got to try to make sure they don’t vary too much from their routine to make it a normal, familiar process,” Chapman said.

“I’m encouraging her to just keep focussed on the basics and enjoy the sport of shooting.

“It’s a sport, it’s a recreation, it’s a hobby.

“I try to instil that, we still need to enjoy what we’re doing.

Hayley, 20, will be competing in the women’s 25 metre pistol, her event of choice, while David will again take on the world’s best in the men’s 25 metre rapidfire pistol.

The women’s 25m pistol event is scheduled for day five of competition, while the men’s 25m rapid fire pistol is on the following two days.

Talks start on water project THERE were few major developments following a meeting between Wakefield Regional Council, Yorke and Mid North Regional Development Australia and SA Water representatives last week regarding the water pipeline project from the Upper Wakefield catchment near Auburn to Port Wakefield.

WRC chief executive officer, Cate Atkinson, said given the project was so large and complex, progress was likely to be slow.

“We’re still waiting on SA Water to appoint a project manager and that will be an internal appointment,” Mrs Atkinson said.

“There probably won’t be anything further to report until the signing of the funding agreement between the State government, Federal government and council.”

State government funding for the project is also pending approval and can only be approved once the relevant documentation is presented to Cabinet.

NEWS v District n SNOWTOWN

Woman dies in tragic accident THE state’s road toll rose to 52 following a fatal crash near Snowtown on Thursday night.

At about 6.15pm, a B-double travelling north collided with a Ford Laser travelling south on the Augusta Highway near Snowtown, pushing the small sedan into the path of another south bound truck.

The driver of the small sedan, a 57-year-old woman from Snowtown, sadly died at the scene.

Three passengers in the Laser, a 19-year-old woman and a 21-year-old woman from Snowtown were rushed to the Royal Adelaide Hospital in a critical conditional and a 23-year-old man, also from Snowtown was taken to the Lyell McEwin Hospital with minor injuries.

The truck drivers were not injured. Major Crash Investigators attended the scene and are seeking any witnesses to the collision to please contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

The road toll for the same time last year was 63.

Reflections on a theme

WITH the best athletes set to take the world stage in London, the local stage is also set to host the 16th Balaklava Eisteddfod starting on Friday, July 27.

The three-day event begins with opening of the big bands and choirs, followed by the individual events and closing ceremony on Saturday, July 28 and the finale concert the next day.

V Tuning up at an impromptu rehearsal and reflected by photographer Lisa Redpath in Balaklava Town Hall’s grand piano are (from left) young musicians Emma Lane, Olivia McColl, Tori Lane, Ben Mellow and Tom Lane.

Eisteddfod committee president, Bronny Cottle, said it’s a huge event for the district every year.

“The 2000 entrants are fine-tuning their voices and instruments, parents from all over the state are programming Balaklava into their GPS, the throng of volunteers are sorting rosters and tasks and the town’s businesses are stocking their shelves ready to feed everyone,” she said.

The statewide festival of music offers something for every age and all possible tastes in the performing arts.

Eisteddfod returns for another fanfare

This year, there is a whopping 388 nonstop competitions and performances running in six different venues in just two days.

The minimum number of performers per competition is one and the maximum, 45 (in the open bands).

The youngest performer this year is four, while the most senior, at 69, will be competing on piano.

Some slightly off-centre entrants are also expected to impress, with performances featuring the piano accordion, a bassoon duet and recorder and fiddle duet (in the instrumental category).

Biggest instrument will be the Timpani, magnificent tuneable drums, which will be played in both open and senior band categories.

“These, along with the instruments we are most familiar with and the spectacle of the costuming in musical theatre, the scholarship heats in the pure vocal section and stories to be told to celebrity adjudicator, Peter Goers, in speech and drama will be great highlights,” Mrs Cottle said.

“A possible future ‘The Voice’ contender in the contemporary vocal category and the fabulous choirs you will see working in choral in the ensembles are also exciting prospects.”

Audiences will then be treated to another 20 performances on Sunday when the championship winners from Friday and Saturday return to the stage.

The Adelaide Plains Male Voice Choir scholarship final will also be held.

“This year, we have eight Mid

North Primary Festival of Music choirs entered, and we welcome Two Wells and Eudunda,” Mrs Cottle said.

“There is also the much-anticipated return performance of the national award wining – and very young and cute – barber shop quartet, ‘The Fishbowl Boys’.”

With a full schedule of great acts, Mrs Cottle recommended prospective spectators select their favourite acts early.

“If you would like to be part of this wonderful event, go to the Balaklava Post Office, TADS, Balaklava Newsagent or Community Library, grab a $2 program and a highlighter and work out what you would like to see,” she said.

“Your tickets ($3 on Friday, $5 on Saturday) will take you in to every venue, while on Sunday, you can see the cream of the crop for $8.”

Wakefield Regional Council’s community bus will be available this year to take people to all events.

Mrs Cottle said people should call council for any information about desired travel arrangements and for further information.

Mallala council prepares housing estate report THE public submissions summary regarding the Two Wells Development Plan Amendment (DPA) for the proposed Hickinbotham housing estate north of Two Wells will be released in coming months.

District Council of Mallala CEO, Charles Mansueto, said there were some lengthy responses to the TWDPA. “There were a few submissions on that, some private and some from public agencies, so we’re reviewing those and preparing a report to go to council,” he said.

The report is proposed to be listed for either this

month or next month’s council meeting. There will be copies of submissions in the agenda.

“It’s a big development and people have raised their issues and we’ll be looking at those with options to amend the DPA, (or) leave it as it is, that type of thing,” Mr Mansueto said.

n PIRSA CROP AND PASTURE REPORT:

Canola hit by cold weather

CANOLA crops in the Lower North district have been affected by the region’s cold weather and late break of season, according to PIRSA’s latest Crop and Pasture Report, released last week.

“Canola crops have been very slow to emerge and there have been numerous issues with poor emergence and some crops have been re-sown where there was poor emergence,” the report said.

“The late break and cold conditions have meant canola crops are not as advanced as normal, which could impact on yield potential.

“Some dry sown canola crops germinated and then died before follow-up rain was received.”

Issues with millipedes, earwigs and slaters damaging

emerging crops were also noted.

The area of canola sown statewide has increased compared to the five year average.

PIRSA’s Grains Industry Development Manager, Dave Lewis, said another significant crop growers have invested in this year is durum wheat, with the area increasing to a five year high.

There was a positive outlook for local cereal and bean crops in the Lower North.

“Cereal crops have all emerged well, although growth has been very slow,” the report said.

“Wheat area has remained similar to last year with Mace the major variety grown followed by Scout.

“Hindmarsh has been the major feed barley variety sown

and Commander the main malting variety.

“Beans that were dry sown have emerged well and growers have commenced post emergent weed control.”

The positive start has led to South Australia’s first grain crop estimate for the new season coming in at 6.9 million tonnes.

“The price of grain, particularly wheat, has become volatile in the last few weeks, with hot and dry conditions in North America and in Eastern Europe impacting on crop production outlook in those regions pushing up global prices,” Mr Lewis said.

“A clearer trend in prices should emerge over the next month depending on the weather in the United States and global crop forecasts from the US De-

partment of Agriculture.”

Stock feed is reportedly in short supply of late, with slow pasture growth.

“Producers have been hand feeding stock and hay supplies have almost been exhausted,” the report noted.

Temperatures were slightly below average during both May and June, while rainfall for May varied from average in the west to well below average in the east of the district.

Numerous frosts were recorded in many districts during the second week of June, with below average temperatures and average to above average rainfall for the remainder of the month.

Rainfall was generally average to above average during June.

Challenges in hay, but exporters want more THE area sown for hay in the Lower North district in declining, with older farmers less willing to take the risk, according to PIRSA’s latest Crop and Pasture Report, released last week.

The report added hay exporters have been encouraging growers to increase their hay area, with limited success.

Despite the report’s claims, Balco general manager, Rob Lawson, believed the hay export industry was in good shape.

“There is a hint of truth in that (report),” he said.

“Hay can be a very demanding product to grow.

“Growers could do everything right and then get a rain event at the wrong time, which can downgrade the crop.”

Another factor turning older growers from producing hay is the odd hours required for baling, which can be before the crack of dawn and late at night, depending on weather conditions.

Locally grown hay has been slightly declining over the past few years.

“Over the past three years or

so, it’s probably down about 10 per cent, due in most part to good grain prices,” Mr Lawson said.

He believed it was mainly a cyclical thing.

“I’m confident when we get a dry finish to a season, farmers will come back to hay,” Mr Lawson said.

“In a dry season, hay can still be a good returner.

“The returns for hay are generally very good, when they’re there and it’s still the best mechanism for the control of ryegrass.

“A lot of the export market is still expanding and the numbers for exporters are not desperately declining.”

Mr Lawson hoped farmers would acknowledge the efforts of export companies, such as Balco, to ensure hay remains a viable and attractive product to grow.

“The exporters need to make sure they do things as costeffectively as they can,” he said.

“Exporters work hard to maintain costs to ensure good returns to growers.”

Levee bank rebuild to protect township DISTRICT Council of Mallala has flagged its intentions to upgrade the levee bank protecting the Thompson Beach township.

“Basically, there is an existing levee bank and Thompson Beach and we’re upgrading it,” DCM chief executive officer, Charles Mansueto said.

“We’ll be fixing up the spots where it has been eroded. This one hasn’t been built to the current standard, so we’re bringing it up to those requirements.”

An article in the October 19, 2011 edition of the Plains Producer featured landowner, John Reid, and his frustrations with having to develop his property to a new building height, due to interim

building standards enforced by the Coastal Protection Board after it deemed the levee bank system inadequate to protect the township.

The development requirements required a combination of minimum floor levels of dwellings, minimum site levels along with a levee bank that collectively provided protection for the combined effects of high tide and wave surge effects.

Mr Mansueto said interim building

standards could be affected by the levee bank upgrade.

“If it improves the protection, it should have a beneficial effect on planning heights and so on,” he said.

“At the moment, the levee is not protecting as much as it can and some houses have to be constructed to address that.

“The way I understand it, if it meets this current standard, there is the possibility planning heights and so on, could be amended.”

Submissions regarding the levee bank upgrade can be made until August 1.

“Once all the consultation is finished, if there are no major issues, we should be able to get on with it,” Mr Mansueto said.

I’ve seen many bleary-eyed people around lately, and not from flu symptoms (although there are plenty of those too!)

They’d been up ‘til the wee hours of the morning watching Wimbledon and Tour de France.

Wimbledon is over but the Tour goes on. We will have a little break from being glued to the television until July 27.

That’s when the Olympics start.

As we see today and mentioned previously in the Plains Producer, Hoyleton father and daughter, David and Hayley Chapman, are competing in the shooting team at the Olympics.

(And they are from the Adelaide Plains NOT Hills as quoted in the Olympic stories from Advertiser’s SA Weekend liftout on July 7).

But another local, the late Shamus Liptrot, will be there in spirit, as South Australian brother and sister Olympic cyclists, Alex and

Annette Edmondson (pictured, with Shamus) wear wrist bands in his honour.

The Edmondson siblings, good

friends with Shamus since training together in juniors, consider the green wrist bands to be their “lucky charms”.

Their father Steve, said: “The kids have worn the green bands since the fundraising efforts for Shamus started after his bike accident a few years ago.

“Annette was in a panic recently when her band broke in a World Cup race overseas,” he said.

“She rang us to get a replace-

‘Miracle’ and Maz to launch Balaklava Cup NEXT Friday, July 27, is the Balaklava Cup “media launch” day in Adelaide.

Well, actually, it’s already been “launched” – right here, by me.

Balaklava Cup is on Wednesday, September 5, so be prepared for a storm sweeping across the region the night before. It’s a “dead set” certainty, with all the marquees in place by then, just waiting to be blown over. Happens almost every year – but then race day usually is a spring time sparkler.

I also heard a rumour the “face of the Cup” – Nova radio personality Maz Compton, will be making a visit to Balaklava to learn a bit about the town and track.

Stay tuned to the Plains Producer.

Incidentally, before the Facebook whingers fire up about no local rep, I’m told the selection of Maz as the Cup “face” is a plan by the club to utilise Maz’s profile in Adelaide – where there’s thousands of

ment. We were talking to Patricia at the time and she had one in her bag, which she gave to us to post to Annette,” Steve said.

The replacement band has been posted to Annette who is now training in Italy in final preparation for the Olympics.

Shamus’ parents, Malcolm and Patricia, were thrilled the Edmondsons are wearing the wrist bands.

“We didn’t know they were going to wear them so it’s a lovely surprise,” Patricia said.

We know Shamus will be watching over them and cheering them on. Aussie, Aussie, Aussie ...

Hospital debacle

Country Health SA closes the wound on Balaklava surgery

“

It’s not a Turn arOunD Or a BacK fLiP, It’s normal Business

SURGICAL services at Balaklava Soldiers Memorial Hospital will resume next month, Country Health SA (CHSA) revealed yesterday.

The announcement from CHSA chief executive officer, Professor Belinda Moyes, came yesterday – six days after CHSA revealed to the Plains Producer on July 4 – it had suspended surgical services at the hospital.

That original statement said: “Surgical services will remain tem-

Les Pearson reports:

porarily suspended at Balaklava Hospital, following a recent statewide review of theatre and sterilisation services.

“Surgery services were suspended on June 5 during the review and would now remain so until consultation processes have been completed.”

Last week, the Plains Producer contacted Balaklava GP, Dr Tom Lemon, who utilises the operating

theatre for surgery and soon after, Shadow Health Minister, Martin Hamilton-Smith, regarding the surgery suspension.

Mr Hamilton-Smith released a statement on Sunday, quizzing the State government on its plans for the Balaklava Hospital following the temporary closure of the operating theatre.

It attracted widespread attention from various metropolitan media outlets.

Professor Moyes contacted the

Plains Producer yesterday, declaring the surgical services would return to the town in coming weeks.

“We got the review recommendations and have been looking at them, and in order to get things back on track and get things happening again, I’ve made the decision to get things going again in August,” she said.

Professor Moyes said the scrutiny attracted by the suspension of surgery was misplaced.

Trees For Life is urging farmers and community groups to place orders for native trees by the August 17 deadline On a rural property native trees and shrubs provide shelter for stock, some have suitable foliage used as stock fodder, they can help combat salinity, provide windbreaks, prevent erosion along riverbeds and provide much-needed habitat for native wildlife.

During a 50-year life cycle it is estimated one tree will generate $30,000 in oxygen, recycle $35,000 worth of water and clean up $60,000 worth of air pollution.

Trees For Life has divided SA into 42 different zones using its provenance guidelines, with species lists available for each region.

These lists not only detail types of species which are most likely to survive in a particular region, but also offer other advice on height and shape.

A subsidised program allows landholders to order hundreds of native seedlings for a fraction of what it normally costs.

Cost is just $55 for financial members (from $45 membership for one year) for up to 500 seedlings (grown for you) or the same for up to 1000 seedlings (grow your own).

• To get a species list for your region and place an order by August 17, call 8406 0500 or visit www. treesforlife.org.au

Primary only at Snowtown school “

Les Pearson reports:

SNOWTOWN Area School will become a primary school as of next year, following the school’s governing council decision to only offer reception to year seven programs in 2013.

Parents at the school were notified of the decision last month.

The change is likely to reduce student numbers at the school from about 70 to 50.

School principal, Mat Evans, said there would be many changes to be made but it did have positive outcomes for both primary and secondary aged students.

“We want to be able to focus our resources on those primary years,” he said.

“It gives the secondary students a great opportunity at what ever other school they go to, in terms of their numbers, staffing and things they can

”

It was a governing council decision but we make it happen and our role will be around supporting children and their families through that transition to be successful at their new school – Principal Mat Evans

offer, particularly in the tech studies area, our students will have access to the great facilities they have there.

“When you’re only teaching a couple of kids in a year level, it’s very hard to offer them any sort of choice, even if you have the resources.

“With the low numbers, we can’t maintain that high level of equipment, so it’s much easier for them to go to another school to go to those higher levels.”

Mr Evans believed most secondary students would attend Clare High School next year, although Kadina is

also likely to receive some students from Snowtown.

He said the transitional phase to become a primary school had begun.

“There will be an adjustment of staffing and resources,” Mr Evans said.

“It was a governing council decision but we make it happen and our role will be around supporting children and their families through that transition to be successful at their new school.

“We will work with those schools and help those students into the transi-

tion programs being offered at those schools and we’ll do some support from this end.

“It does have a bit of an effect on the school but I guess, with the declining numbers over time, it does reflect the general demographic of the area and we’ve got to make sure we work smarter and run a sustainable school.

The reaction was also reportedly subdued, due to the transparentness of governing council during the decision-making period.

“It wasn’t a surprise,” Mr Evans said. “I guess people were a little bit disappointed it got to that stage but they could understand why, with the reasoning behind it and it was a student-centred decision.”

He also acknowledged the governing council’s efforts over the past few months.

“They have not taken it lightly, for sure,” Mr Evans said.

“They’ve consulted huge amounts of budgets and resources and talked

to people, they’ve had regional office people involved.

“They acknowledged they had to make the best decision they could with the information available.

“They did a very good job of getting the information and then saying ‘in light of this, this is the best option we can take’.”

The focus now turns to offering an excellent primary education for students.

“It’s not just about the students in the high school years at the moment but also sustainability and a successful primary school,” Mr Evans said.

“So now, we’re going through what sort of things we need to run a fantastic primary area and keep things going, get new programs involved and look at refining what we’ve got happening in reception to year seven with the resources we’ve got now.

“We’ve got a good chance of continuing to be successful in that primary area.”

Cuts force tough call on governing council ment made unavailable as they were outdated.

Mr Cummins said the school has not had an agriculture teacher for a few years.

“Those sorts of teachers don’t fall out of trees,” he said.

Nearby secondary school options for Snowtown students include to happen this way but we had no other choice at the end of the day.

“We have been dealing with it since week two, term one.”

He said the forecast number of students at the school suggested it would have struggled to attract appropriate funding under the education department’s tiered funding system.

The governing council had been discussing the issue with parents of students at the school but the steady decline in student numbers, and the town’s population in general, took its toll in the end.

Mr Cummins said the school had lost 10 students per year over the past decade on average.

“A number of farming families and townspeople have left over the years for different reasons,” he said.

“We only have two farming families at the school who live outside the town.

“A small percentage of students have gone to other schools after year seven too and that’s every parent’s right to make that decision.

“New private schools in the area have also had a minor impact.”

The school had no technology studies teacher this year, with some of its machines and equip-

Clare, Kadina, Balaklava, Port Broughton and to a certain extent, Gladstone.

Mr Cummins said the school would be looking to predominantly form links with Clare High School, with a majority of the local community sharing close ties with those in Blyth through

their sporting connection. Despite the change bringing to a close a proud chapter in Snowtown Area School’s history, the governing council was determined to retain a positive outlook.

“Going forward as a primary school, we’ll be pretty focussed on making it the best pri-

mary school we can and we’ve got the facilities and teaching base to do that,” Mr Cummins said.

Some of those facilities include the town swimming pool and school’s agriculture centre.

“There’s lots of exciting things there,” Mr Cummins said.

POW-7810-FH

YEAR 11 and 12 students would not have had one face-to-face teacher for any subjects if they attended Snowtown Area School next year.

It was a one of several contributing factors behind the school’s governing council decision to offer only reception to year seven programs as of 2013.

Governing council chair, John Cummins, pictured, said declining student numbers meant a strong reduction of funding for the school, leading to the cut in classes.

The decision was predominantly made in the best interest of students, who the governing council believed would have had limited educational opportunities in the senior schooling years.

The reduction to a primary school will mean staff cuts.

“Unfortunately staffing will be seriously affected,” Mr Cummins said.

“SSO hours probably will be cut and we will lose a few permanent teachers.

THERE”S no denying country folk will always band together to help out when necessary.

Mount Templeton farmer Malcolm “Hank” Lamond recently was on the receiving end of such assistance when he needed urgent surgery for bowel cancer in Adelaide recently.

With seeding incomplete, Hank and son Rick were up against it to get the crop in the ground. It took only 36 hours for the group to come together to help out, with three air seeders and spray tanks.

About 1000 acres was seeded with wheat and peas – with the Lamond family unaware this was about to happen.

“I was told when they arrived, ‘stand aside Hank, we’re moving in’,” said Hank.

“I was just amazed by their help and can’t thank them enough. They turned up the Friday before the long weekend in June and had the seeding completed by Saturday afternoon.

“I was due to go into hospital the

following Tuesday. I thought ‘we’ll have to just plod away and get it done somehow’ – but for this to have happened is incredible,” Hank said.

“My whole family is just so grateful.”

Hank is now recovering well and intently watching the paddocks as the crops begin to green up.

NEWS FEATURE v FARMING

Feeding the world UP CLOSE

CONTINUING OUR SERIES ON LOCAL FARMERS

with Louise Michael

S

ome farmers breed sheep, some pigs or cattle. But one very clever local farmer breeds wheat and maize.

Pinery farmer, Professor Andrew Barr, is on the board of CIMMYT, an international non-profit research and training centre headquartered in Mexico.

The abbreviation of CIMMYT derives from the Spanish version of its name – International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre. The aim of this centre is “to sustainably increase the productivity of maize and wheat systems to ensure global food security and reduce poverty”. The song “Feed the World” sounds appropriate here.

How did our local man come to be involved in this area? Let’s go back to the beginning of his fascinating journey.

Andrew, and his younger sisters Gaye and Sue, grew up on their parent’s, Bob and Laurel’s mixed farming enterprise at Pinery.

He attended Pinery Rural School and then completed secondary schooling at Balaklava High School. Andrew said his year group were pioneers as it was the first to complete both Years 11 and 12 and sit public exams at the school. This was the start of Andrew’s pioneering!

In Year 10, Andrew attended a careers night and was impressed by the Department of Agriculture’s speaker. Andrew had always been interested in agriculture, but the speech hit home, confirming to him specialised cropping was becoming more important.

Andrew headed off to Adelaide University to study a Bachelor of Ag Science. While studying this course, he had to work in four different agricultural areas for a month each.

He coped with a dairy, superfine merino sheep property and his dad’s farm, but being a jackaroo on a station in Queensland confirmed he was ”the worst horse rider ever”.

“I taught swimming in my holidays and worked on the farm for dad to earn some money while at Uni,” Andrew said.

He continued his study and in his third year, met laboratory technician, Helen Critchley, from Renmark, who caught his eye. The pair married in February 1977, and in March, Andrew started work for the Department of Ag as an oat breeder and Barley Agronomist. After four years, Andrew took on the oat breeding program full-time.

Studying was never over for Andrew, who continued part-time study, while working at the WAITE campus, from 1987-94 for a PhD in Ag Science – Plant Breeding and Genetics. During these years, Andrew and Helen did some of their own breeding, producing three beautiful children, Belinda, Scott and James.

In 1994, prominent barley breeder, David Hollamby, retired. His job was subsequently offered to Andrew after two days of interviews and an hour-long seminar presentation.

The job was at the WAITE campus where Andrew worked for the next 10 years. As it takes a minimum of seven years, but usually 10, to breed a new crop variety, Andrew was in it for the long haul.

Andrew knew the barley program was going to be big and more important than the oat program worldwide. He had to attend international conferences in many places including in the area where barley evolved, Syria. International scientists are based there in the CARDA Centre. Sadly however, the good work is being undone as scientists are leaving the country now due to the current political climate, whereby the government is making it very hard for professional people.

In 1999, Andrew was awarded a Professorship, a title only a University can award, in Plant Breeding.

Plains Producer, Wednesday July 18, 2012

PROFESSOR Andrew Barr at home on the farm at Pinery, with wife Helen and agricultural assistant, Harvey. – PICTURE: Lisa Redpath.

‘Home-grown’ at Pinery and enjoying farming life, Professor AndREW Barr is an international expert working to ensure global food security Andrew was surprised and humbled.

“It was for the commercial impact and contribution to the field crops industry, with varieties of both oats and barley being very successful,” he said.

He has published 50 scientific papers on the subjects.

Andrew said being made a Professor didn’t change a thing as far as his wardrobe was concerned. He was still known as the daggiest Professor around, ditching the bow tie and tweed coat for his jumper and jeans.

In 2003, Andrew convinced Helen to move back to the family farm at Pinery as his father, Bob, was hoping to retire, and Andrew had always wanted to work on the farm.The time felt right, so he left Waite campus and headed north.

Andrew pitched in with footy coaching at Mallala Football Club, coaching junior and senior colts until son James finished

playing. Andrew also coached the Association U17 side.

Due to ankle injuries, Andrew has now retired from tennis, of which he was an excellent player, although he has been known to win a wooden spoon at night tennis!

In 2008, Andrew joined the board of CIMMYT. It works with, and brings together, public research organisations, private companies, advanced research institutions, farmer associations in countries worldwide, and non-government organisations, working in a practical manner to fight hunger and poverty right across the developing world –in over 70 countries!

CIMMYT grew from a pilot program in 1943, sponsored by the Mexican Government and the Rockefeller Foundation.

The team developed shorter wheat varieties that put more energy into grain production, responded better to fertiliser, grew well

at different latitudes and were resistant to disease known as stem rust. These became known as “Mexican semi-dwarf wheats”.

By the late 1950s, Mexico was selfsufficient in wheat production. Its success inspired project researchers to become fierce and effective advocates for the Mexican innovation model in other countries, with Pakistan and India later doubling their wheat production after importing seed from the improved varieties.

Microsoft founder Bill Gates, is a huge sponsor of CIMMYT, being a strong advocate for worldwide health and agriculture.

For grain development in Australia, there is GRDC (Grain Research & Development Corporation).

To fund GRDC, farmers pay levies on different grain types. It is responsible for planning, investing and overseeing research and development, delivering improvements in production, sustainability and the profitability across Australian grain industry.

Many of the grain types we have here, didn’t just pop-up – they were bred from “parent seed” originally from CIMMYT. Andrew attends a CIMMYT board meeting twice a year, once in Mexico, and once somewhere else in the world. This year it’s Berlin.

Andrew says the board is like a “miniunited nations”, with members from Germany, England, Japan, China, Chile, India, USA, Mexico, Zimbabwe, Canada and Australia on it.

Members help each other understand their different perspectives regarding problems faced in their countries.

The board makes life and death decisions, such as whether or not to leave international scientists in dangerous countries, where the ransom is high for kidnapping, so they can continue vital research and work which will affect people’s lives.

Andrew is passionate about ensuring the world can become self-sufficient, using improved farming methods and technologies, thus reducing poverty in the world.

In his spare time, Andrew has sat on the board of ABB, before the Viterra takeover, and has been on the Southern panel of GRDC for six years.

He has also been on the board of Australian Grain Growers Co-op for three years, and now runs an international consultancy business on plant breeding and agronomy.

When Andrew is away, Helen looks after the farm, as all good women do, with help from father-in-law, Bob. Their daughter Belinda runs her own Agribusiness and Communications business, aptly named “Raising the Bar”.

Son Scott studied Mechanical Engineering at Uni and now works at One Steel Whyalla, while James is in his third year at Uni, also studying Mechanical Engineering, and he has an interest in Agricultural engineering.

Andrew would like to remove all barriers that stop rural kids from obtaining a tertiary education.

“You can stay home and be taught ag, but don’t be content to plod along and not try new things,” he said.

“Study courses such as farm management, travel, or work for others.

“And don’t ever think you’re not good enough and say ‘I’m just a farmer’. Farmers’ wide range of skills are not appreciated enough by the wider community.”

Too true.

Clearly Andrew is not “just a farmer”.

He’s simply outstanding in his field. www.plainsproducer.com.au

Workshop plans to revitalise Wasleys

Tony Piccolo, State MP for Light, Dawne Richter, Wasleys Post Office proprietor and Anne Moroney, Regional Development Australia CEO.

WASLEYS’ economic future will be the focus of an upcoming skills and development workshop organised by Regional Development Australia, Barossa.

The Regional and Remote Area Economic Development Training Program (RRATP) is aimed at highlighting the strengths of regional communities and giving members the skills and know-how to thrive into the future.

The program at Wasleys – to be held next Friday and Saturday, – July 27-28 – will help to identify key economic assets the town

holds and how to make the most of them to benefit the town.

Light MP, Tony Piccolo, said Wasleys residents would get a lot out of the program.

“Wasleys is a great town with a great future,” he said.

“We’ve just seen the re-opening of the general store, which is a positive step for the community.

“The town needs to be futurefocussed, and this workshop will help them best take advantage of opportunities that are coming up.”

The workshop has been organised in partnership with Economic

Development Australia. RDAB chief executive, Anne Moroney, said she believed the event would be a great success.

“The program has been a success for other communities that have taken up this opportunity,” she said.

“It has provided value to those communities, and I trust it will do the same for Wasleys.”

For more information, or to register your interest in being involved in the workshop, contact Regional Development Australia Barossa on 8563 3603.

Enjoying a chat with old friends Former Adelaide Plains girl and now acclaimed journalist, political writer and commentator, Annabel Crabb, entertained about 85 people in Two Wells last week, with stories of her life, captivating, entertaining and amusing the audience.

Two Wells Public Library services coordinator Anne Sawtell, who organised the event, said locally born Annabel recounted many interesting stories about the people she has met, with the crowd thoroughly enjoying the occasion.

“As we expected Annabel Crabb proved to be a very popular draw card and the event was sold out,” Anne said.

“Over the course of an hour Annabel talked about so many dynamic, well known people and events she has covered, ranging from the christening of Princess Mary of Denmark’s son to the inauguration of Barack Obama.”

Other topics Annabel recounted included the fallout between former Australian Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd and current Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, staking out cricketer Shane Warne’s UK home, watching Cathy Freeman win gold at the 2000 Olympics and the London bombings.

“It is nice to see so many familiar faces,” Annabel told the crowd.

“I’m a journalist but that has really changed a lot in the last few years because the media has changed a lot.

“These days I work in all sorts of mediums, radio, writing for the ABC’s website, and I also do a cooking show.

“There’s lots of opportunities in the media to do things you wouldn’t think possible.”

Pregnant with her third child, Annabel said she tried to get back to the Adelaide Plains with her young family a few times a year, and fondly remembers growing up in the area.

“I remember these buildings and the little adventures I had as a kid,” she said.

Lewiston resident, Katrina MacMillan, said the event was a terrific opportunity to hear and meet someone who had done so many interesting things.

“She is as fascinating and articulate as she is on the television,” Katrina said.

“It was an amazing experience to come and listen to her speak.”

In other Two Wells Public Library news, the service is planning to hold similar events on a regular basis, with well-known garden expert and presenter for the ABC’s “Gardening Australia” show, Sophie Thomson, booked for September 19.

Author of the much loved “Blue Ribbon” cookbook, Liz Harfull, will also be a guest speaker on November 14. Further details of both these events will be released soon.

Marine Parks: Action group to challenge ‘no take’ zone

What is on the horizon?

REPORT and pictures

by Les Pearson A MARINE Park Action group has been formed locally to target issues arising from the draft no-take zones in the Upper Gulf St Vincent.

Port Wakefield professional fisherman, Bart Butson, helped form the group, which comprises other commercial fishers, local business owners, community members, recreational fishers and developer, Tom Chapman.

Mr Butson said the group’s first meeting will be held tonight, to establish a direction and goals for the group to work towards as the public consultation phase for the draft sanctuary zones begins.

Of particular concern to most in the group is the sanctuary zone in Marine Park 14 at the top of the gulf, starting from the end of the channel, just outside of the Port Wakefield inlet, across to a spot just north of Port Clinton.

It would rule out a significant amount of fishing spots for recreational and professional fishers alike.

There are about 12 net fishers based in Port Wakefield, about seven or eight other professionals, utilising long lines and different methods, in the local Marine Scale Fishery.

Of all the marine parks statewide, both haul net and long line fishers in the Upper Gulf St Vincent recorded the most historical effort to catch fish within the draft marine sanctuary zones, according to the South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI).

Therefore, if these zones are applied as is,

HEADING out to sea from Port Wakefield, Bart Butson and the General are unsure of what’s on the horizon for pro fishing.

Marine Scale fishers in this area will be the most drastically affected. Mr Butson believes South Australia has world-class fish management already, with the ongoing work of SARDI and PIRSA. According to SARDI, fishing licence holders complete a compulsory daily logbook, in which they report catch (weight) by species, effort in fisherdays, gear type and the Marine Fishing Area (MFA) in which fishing occurred.

The logbook returns are submitted to SARDI Aquatic Sciences monthly, and are entered into the South Australian Marine Scalefish Fishery

database. SARDI also reports the Marine Scale Fishery is managed with a complex interlinked combination of input controls including limited entry, gear restrictions, owner-operator restrictions and area closures, as well as output controls such as minimum legal length and direct catch limitations.

Included in these management measures were recent seasonal closures to commercial Garfish fishing. Southern Garfish fishing was closed in Gulf St Vincent from June 1 to 24.

PIRSA Fisheries and Aquaculture executive director, Professor Mehdi Doroudi, said the closure was necessary to address serious

concerns about Southern Garfish stocks. “Research has highlighted that Southern Garfish stocks display continued signs of being heavily exploited, with a very high proportion of the biomass being harvested and low levels of egg production,” Professor Doroudi said.

“PIRSA Fisheries and Aquaculture has been working closely with SARDI and Marine Fishers Association (MFA) through a Garfish Working Group, and has developed new management arrangements that will address concerns for Southern Garfish stocks.

Mr Butson was part of that working group and was happy with the resolution.

He believed no-take zones could have their part to play but the current zones were far too big. “I would support them if I felt they were absolutely necessary for the long-term health of the fishery,” he said.

“If I strongly believed in the science behind it, I would be all for them. If the government can get the balance between conservation, public accessibility and industry right, I think it will work in our community.

“The ongoing management of our fishery is something the industry fully supports and is very interested in. I want my nephew and my son to be fishermen.

“For 50 years my family has been fishing here and I hope they will be for another 50 years, so no one wants to ensure the long-term health of local fish stocks more than me.”

Mr Butson said if the no-take zones were enforced, it would wipe out the next generation of professionals, reducing locally caught seafood and locally generated economy.

“Fishing has a huge historical importance in the Port Wakefield community,” he said.

“It’s been here for 100 years, not a lot else goes on here.”

LONG HAUL

I

T had been years since I last went fishing, so the offer to hop aboard with Port Wakefield professional fisherman, Bart Butson, was a good chance to reignite the angler in me.

Like many others, the fishing I am most accustomed to involves a rod, reel and a bag of bait, whether it be cockles, worms, whatever.

Today, we were haul-net fishing.

I’ve never seen a haul net in action, so for me, this was going to be a learning experience and a great chance to get out of the office for a few hours.

The Butsons are third generation professional fishermen in Port Wakefield.

Robert Butson is the most senior member of the family, still actively fishing, while his sons, Bart and Stewart, have followed in his footsteps.

Bart and Stewart were heading out in their respective boats, while Robert set course to town for the afternoon.

Stewart was accompanied by rookie deck hand, Zeke Bitter, a year 10 student from Horizon Christian School, currently on holidays. Zeke has loved coming out on the boats since he was about four years old.

He already has a strong tie with the ocean but is keen to finish school while working on the boats from time to time.

I referred to Zeke as a rookie, more so out of comparison than anything, as Bart’s deck hand has him pipped in the experience bracket.

The bearded man, known only as ‘General’, is said to have the most intimate knowledge of the local waters.

He has worked with all three generations of Butson fishermen, over a 35-year affiliation.

General is probably an apt name for this wiry, greying sea dog, as his expertise in all things boats, motors, fishing and net making is second to none.

“I’d be lost without him,” Bart said.

General doesn’t say much and what he does say, I struggled to interpret. Bart responded to him as though he’s speaking fluent English, so I assumed it was more so my ears than General’s pronunciation, or lack thereof.

I was allocated a pair of waders, to keep me dry, which had my stomach churning at the thought of what swell might be out there.

Any fears I had of seasickness were alleviated when we were greeted with hauntingly still water.

I’ll avoid the cliché simile of saying it was ‘like glass’ by saying it was like a mirror.

We headed out into the gulf to an undisclosed location, nothing suss, but a good fisherman doesn’t reveal his best spots.

We were in about two metres of water, not much more or less and targeting yellow-fin whiting, garfish and squid.

Net fishers can fish in up to five metres of water, although they don’t often fish in anything close to those depths.

n MAIN picture: Bart Butson and “General” haul the net.

One end of the net is lobbed into the water with an anchor.

Floats on one side lift it to the water’s surface, while the other side is lead-lined with small sinkers to take it to the bottom.

The net is then unfurled into the sea as the boat drives along in a wide arc, creating a semi-circle.

prices for the bigger fish. The fish are then brought straight back to home base, where they are weighed, coated in ice and put in the cool rooms.

In the early hours of the following morning, they are picked up by a transport company and taken directly to market, in Adelaide or sometimes Sydney, depending on the prices.

The boats are then prepared for the next day’s fishing that evening, although there will be times they will go out twice in a day, if the first attempt is not very successful.

This routine continues right throughout winter, this is their peak season.

Fish tend to prefer the cooler waters, so when things start getting warmer, the leaner the catch.

It is effectively the fishermen’s harvest period and being halfway through July, there’s a lot more work ahead for them still to come. www.plainsproducer.com.au

Costs rise as weather cools As the mercury drops and winter approaches energy supplier Ausgrid is urging households to think carefully when buying a new heater and to use it wisely.

Ausgrid’s energy efficiency expert, Paul Myors, said it’s important to know the different heating options available and how their costs compare over the cooler months.

“Portable electric heaters like bar radiators or fan heaters are cheap to buy, but can cost hundreds of dollars to run during winter,” Mr Myors said.

“A household can expect to spend more on electricity in one week from using a personal fan heater than the cost of the heater itself.

“So households should decide on a budget as well as how often and where heating is required before

TOP 5 WINTER HEATING TIPS

4 Don’t overheat your home. The temperature of a heated room in winter should be 18-21 Celsius.

4 Don’t heat the rooms you’re not using – close doors to unoccupied rooms, only heat the main living areas.

4 Gas heaters are cheaper to run and have lower greenhouse gas emissions than portable electric heaters.

4 When choosing a gas heater or reverse cycle air-conditioner, go for the high energy efficiency star rating.

4 If the heating unit has adjustable louvres, direct them towards the floor (as hot air rises).

making a purchase.

“Fan and convection heaters can be effective to heat a small room.

Oil column heaters are slow to heat but are safe to run unattended making them a good option for kids’ bedrooms,” Mr Myors said.

Heating larger living areas requires more energy, so it’s important to

choose an efficient option such as a high star rated gas heater or a reverse cycle air conditioner that can also be used to cool your home in summer.

“If you’re buying a gas heater it’s important to get expert advice because if it’s unflued you’ll have to ensure there is plenty of ventilation.”

so you only heat the rooms you’re using rather than the entire house.

“Our research shows more than 80 per cent of households overheat their homes, which is a huge waste of energy, money and CO2 emissions,” Mr Myors said.

“For every degree you heat above 21C you’re adding about 10 per cent to your heating costs.

“Set thermostats between 18 and 21C, zone your home by shutting doors and only heat the area you are in, and make sure you turn off the heater when it’s not needed,” Mr Myors said.

Remember winter is the time to rug-up, so pull out a warm blanket and wear lots of layers to keep warm for free.

Roosters outclass Magpies REPORT: Les Pearson

n tallan Leighton boots a goal for Two Wells during Saturday’s A grade clash with the Magpies.

• From back page Thomson was impressed with his midfield group and also rated the team’s defensive efforts.

“They got two goals late, so to hold them to four goals for 95 per cent of the game was pretty good too,” he said.

The flying Roosters head into this weekend’s encounter with Hummocks-Watchman Eagles at Lochiel with some real momentum.

“We won’t change much for this week and probably go in with the same back and forward six again,” Thomson said.

Lubcke said there was one real positive to take from the game on Saturday.

“It would be the first time in 10 weeks we’ve got through a game without any injuries,” he said.

With the prospect of regaining midfielders Christian Rimmer and Jordan Clements, and utilities Rob Montgomery and Lachy Dowdy, the team should receive a reasonable boost for the clash against Virginia.

“Virginia becomes a very important game for us with our position on the table,” Lubcke said.

“It will be a large focus on the track this week.

“I have strong confidence in the playing group, which may have hit a speed hump lately but we should regroup to put in a decent performance on Saturday.”

Final score two wells 14.17 (101) d mallala 6.2 (38) Best: Mallala - J.Earl, J.Montgomerie, B.Martin, S.Hahn, D.Pontt, S.Angus Two Wells - S.Feast, L.Allmond, K.Leighton, N.Seccafien, S.O`Brien, T.Hines

A dominant Two Wells rules the roost come the finals, Mallala with a bit of a battle to make the finals.

A grade

Two Wells made short work of Mallala on Saturday, with a resounding 63 point victory. It was the second heavy defeat at home by Mallala in consecutive games.

In the same two weeks all four Mallala grades have suffered defeats, a rarity in recent times. One of the few ‘Good’ moments for Mallala was seeing trainer John Good back at the footy after major surgery.

It would seem the result would not have done much for his recovery.

Jarrod Allmond kicked the first goal for Two Wells, and Scott Hahn replied for Mallala. This looked like being a good game. As it turned out it was, but only for Two Wells. The Roosters started to do all the attacking. Simon Feast winning in ruck, Ben Spiteri, Lee Allmond, Eamon Fetherstonhaugh, Andrew Hardiman, Ned Seccafien. The Roosters were getting control of this game. Seven scoring shots to one was a concern for Mallala at the first break.

Daniel Hines, Sam O’Brien, and Stephen ‘Fuzzy’ Lange were solid in defence for Two Wells. A good goal under pressure from Fetherstonhaugh increased the lead but once more it was Scott Hahn to the rescue for Mallala. ‘Scooter’s’ much needed goal keeping the Pies in touch, just. But when Lee Allmond and then Ben Spiteri goaled for the Roosters the visitors looked in fine touch. Two Wells with winners all over the ground. Scott Hahn took a big mark and kicked truly yet again. Hahn had kicked Mallala’s entire three first half goals. Jarrod Allmond, and Eamon Fetherstonhaugh had good second terms for the Roosters with Ned Seccafien probably the pick of the them.

Mallala had Jason Earl playing well as was Joel Montgomerie, and Scott Hahn the best up forward. The Roosters with a handy lead and runners galore at the main break.

It only got better for Two Wells as the game progressed. Four unanswered third term goals blew the game apart as a contest. Two Wells dominant in most areas. Only some average kicking for goal saving Mallala from a bigger deficit. A Brian Montgomery goal the sole highlight for Mallala in what was a classy display by the Roosters. David Pontt in defence was seeing plenty of the ball and battled away, as did Joel Montgomerie but they were totally swamped by the Roosters.

n roosteR Sam O’Brien isn’t quite quick enough to stop a Mallala mark to Matt Saunders in the A grade.

Michael Abdilla, Tallan and Khan Leighton, Jarrad and Lee Allmond, and of course Simon Feast. Two Wells with the game well won by three quarter time.

Mallala were getting killed across the half forward line. Two Wells playing in front loose players everywhere, too much skill and the pressure never ending.

Anthony Pontt stumbled and fumbled but still managed to kick a good goal then when brad Fitzgerald kicked another the lead was 75 points. Again the highlights from Mallala were few and far between.

Brian Montgomery got his second goal, but the pick of the two Mallala goals near the end of the match had to be Daniel Griffiths. The Griffiths goal looked as if it came from nearly 60 metres out. Who said he couldn’t kick that far?

Both Two Wells and Virginia now breathing down Mallala’s neck, eyeing the coveted second spot on the ladder.

The clash at the Ram paddock next game easily the match of the round.

reserves

The top of the table Roosters didn’t have too much difficulty in disposing of

fifth placed Mallala in their reserves grade clash. In spite of the visitors only leading by a point at quarter time, Two Wells gradually increased the lead at each change, albeit very slightly. Mallala now two games out of the four.

When Clinton McDonald limped off in the first few minutes it wasn’t exactly the start Two Wells were after. But things gradually improved for the Roosters from that point on. Ross Coleman was proving a focal player up forward, and Luke Webb was winning in ruck. Two Wells doing most of the attacking. Brett Tucker goaled for Mallala, and another from him on the siren made the difference just a solitary point.

Daniel Jennings, Hayden Riley, Jonno Wildbore, and Brett Tucker the best for Mallala to the first break.

The Roosters Stuart Bond goaled early in the second, yet remarkably when Kurt Smith scored for Mallala after a free kick, the Pies had hit the front. That was it for Mallala for the quarter and virtually the game. Two Wells lifted and majors to Drew Lamont and Rhys Oxenham soon had the Roosters well in control. A fine defensive mark by Kale Jameson was one of the

few highlights for Mallala. Jameson was doing an excellent job across full back, saving at least a couple of goals.

As a spectacle the contest went downhill in the third quarter with both defences right on top. A scrappy affair with a rushed behind to the Roosters the only score. It didn’t look like getting any better in the final term with the first 5 scoring shots all resulting in points. Drew Lamont broke the gridlock with a goal for Two Wells. It was Drew’s third goal for the game and the only goal scored after half time. Drew Lamont was the leading goal scorer on the ground with three. Ross Coleman was another Rooster forward presenting as an option. Mathew Daly, Luke Tryfopoulos, Devon Hardiman in defence were good for Two Wells, as was Luke Webb, but best on ground was Jacob Hart. He repeatedly drove the Roosters into attack from the midfield with a consistent display over the whole game. Mallala had Kale Jameson in defence as their best with good efforts from Scott Gardner having a try out in the ruck, Daniel Jennings, Chris Hallion in the midfield, and James Barr also in defence.

Two Wells won’t be far off the mark

A good team effort by Two Wells saw them score a 40 point win over Mallala, who once again played some good patches of footy, but not consistently over 4 quarters.

Although Mallala’s Wayne Miller was dominating the ruck contests in the first quarter Two Wells on-ballers were reading it much better and continually providing opportunities for their forwards. Kyle Giniotis was showing good form up forward for Two Wells kicking 2 for the quarter, Noah Barnett also chipped in for one. Lack of opportunities for Mallala’s forwards saw them goal less in the first term.

Two Wells good play continued on in the second quarter with Kyle Giniotis strong body work seeing him kick another 2 goals, Jake Ludwig kicking the Roosters 3rd for the quarter. Ground hog day for Dougie Mayne who kicked Mallala’s only goal for the quarter before leaving the ground for the rest of the game with an ankle injury. Mallala’s Liam Mathew was tackling well and putting pressure on the opposition, while Ben and Lachlan O’Leary started to show their brilliance by taking on the red and whites and running with the ball.

The third quarter started to see Mallala putting more pressure on their opposition.

The second efforts being shown by Dylan Howell and Liam Mathew, Garth Plackett and Austin Kearns attack on the ball, Riley Thorne’s efforts against a bigger opponent, and the O’Leary boys getting in and under helping to lift Mallala’s game.

Although being more competitive the score board wasn’t showing it with Two Wells adding another 2 goals for the quarter, Riley Cummings kicking one, and Kyle Giniotis kicking his 5th for the game.

Mallala’s pressure and attack on the ball continued on in the final quarter with them outscoring the red and whites. Bradley Verner was inspirational in leaving his man and stopping a certain goal for Two Wells, while Dylan Howell continued on his consistent goal kicking form, booting l for the Pies in the last quarter.

Best players for Two Wells were Cale Hocking, Kyle Giniotis and Jamie Humphrys, for Mallala Garth Plackett, Lachlan O’Leary and Ben O’Leary played well.

n United’s Nicholas McArdle and Balaklava's Tyson Lamond tussle to gain possession during Saturday's junior colts clash at Long Plains Oval. n inset: Tiger Kevin McArdle knocks the footy away from Pecker Jordan Taylor in senior colts.

Dawson bags 14 goals for Peckers in Tiger hiding GLENN Dawson sunk a massive bag of 14 goals for Balaklava against United on Saturday at Long Plains, helping guide his team to an 86-point win.

The huge haul takes his season tally to 62 goals for the year, now 14 clear of his nearest challenger, Virginia’s Brendon Niklaus, on 48.

Peckers coach, Stuart Lamond, said it was a tough day to be a forward in the same team, Dawson in sparkling touch.

“Towards the end it was good to just sit back and watch,” he said.

“He also created a fair share of his goals from good second efforts at ground level.”

United coach, Travis Opitz, was also in awe of Dawson’s dominance.

Opitz said Dawson’s goal-kicking style is one of the most fluent around.

“Glenn’s just a great player,” he said.

“He was great with his second efforts and it was actually good to watch.”

Dawson finished the match with 14 goals with three behinds and passed some possible set shots off during the match.

He kicked six goals in the final term.

Earlier, the Peckers opened the match up, kicking five goals straight in the first term to United’s inaccurate one goal, five points.

Balaklava kept the Tigers goalless in the second quarter but only added four of its own.

“To their credit, they probably had their fair share of clearances in the first half but in the second half, our midfielders were clearly on top,” Lamond said.

United kicked five goals straight in the third term, including a ripper by Jamie McArdle from the boundary line, from about 45 metres out.

The Peckers were able to answer each Tiger goal though, Jared Cmrlec carefully rolling one through from a tight angle for one of the goals of the day.

Despite winning the quarter by one goal, Lamond was not completely satisfied at the final change.

“I felt as though we dropped off a bit in the third quarter but that can happen a bit when you have that sort of lead,” he said.

“Each week we want a four quarter effort but it doesn’t always end up being the case but I’m pretty happy to get the win, regardless.”

Balaklava’s midfield took control in the final term, Todd McPharlin, along with Lachy and Justin Michael, linking beautifully with Hayden Walker to set up the clearances.

“That was certainly a pleasing aspect from the match,” Lamond said.

Opitz was frustrated with some basic skill errors, which cost his team.

“We’re a young and inexperienced team, so we were down on skill a bit,” he said.

“We were also indirect and made the wrong decisions going forward, which made it hard for ourselves.

One of the more frustrating moments came when Heath Pym, while running the ball through the centre of the ground, was

mowed down by Lachy Michael as he was steadying to kick.

Pym, one of the Tigers’ better players on the day, had two United teammates next to him who failed to talk or lay a shepherd.

“That’s where we broke down, there weren’t enough leaders out there,” Opitz said.

The coach had opted to leave James Rundle out of the A grade, looking to go with a faster forward line.

Peter Valle (hamstring), Alistair Fleming and Josh Tynan (flu) were late withdrawals.

Tall option,Aaron Littlewood, kicked three goals but put down some grabs he should have taken.

Considering his size, he could be handy if he gets some confidence in his game.

“I’m sure if we stick with him, he’ll come good,” Opitz said.

Youngster, Corey Lee-Chapman, 16, made his A grade debut, the coach introducing him once the heat was out of the game.

“In the second half he got a few quality touches and put on a great shepherd, I was really proud of him,” Opitz said.

Defender, Adam Mansfield, was easily the Tigers’ best, showing plenty of dash while playing on dangerous forward, Jonathon Brice.

“Adam’s back and it’s probably his third

good game in a row where he’s been really consistent,” Opitz said.

“Hats off to Jibba (Brice) though, he kept trying and presenting all day.”

The only injury concern from Saturday for United was to Simon Schulz, who was believed to be suffering concussion.

Despite the loss, plenty of people packed into the club for its 10-year premiership reunion, with only two players not present from the successful 2002 team.

Opitz said along with himself, Chris Hosking was one to have changed appearance a fair bit.

“It’s amazing what 10 years can do,” he laughed.

The Peckers will be sweating on defender, Scott Farrell, who struggled from the ground with a suspected knee injury.

“He’ll have that checked this week,” Lamond said.

While United have the bye, the Peckers host Hamley Bridge at home, Lamond wary of the Bombers, noting their recent effort against Two Wells.

“I think their team is no reflection of their ladder position,” he said.

“They’re certainly better than their record suggests.”

RSMU Min/Man

Rams secure top four spot VIRGINIA cemented its place in the top four on the A grade ladder with a 78-point win over HummocksWatchman Eagles on Saturday.

The end result was somewhat predictable, with the Eagles struggling for numbers and depth in recent weeks.

The likes of Blair Sanderson, Scott Forrest and Tim Theile away on holidays did little to help that cause.

The Rams were out of the blocks early, stacking on six goals to one in a dominant first term. They built the lead at every change and were never headed or in danger of losing the match.

Virginia coach, Greg Phillips, said the team was working on adding some extra midfield options into its mix.

“We’ve been trying a few different rotations to try and get them right,” he said.

“I just think it’s the right time of year to get things right.

“It’s probably the most rotations we’ve ever done and it’s been good for the guys who have never played on-ball before.”

Players to find themselves in the centre circle at times included Peter Mylonopoulos, Rocky Perre and Brendon Niklaus. Marco Lazenka, in his second game up from the reserves, was serviceable, while defender, Emmanuel Tsimiklis, found himself up forward in the third term and went on the kick four goals for the quarter.

Phillips said it was good to have several options up their sleeve.

“We’ve been a bit too predictable the last few years,” he said.

“From two grand finals, we’ve had the wrong result so if we go in the same way, the result might also be the same.”

Stephen Papanotis was back in, after becoming father to a baby girl the week before, while Anthony Johnston missed the match, opting to stay and look after his daughter, born on Thursday.

“If we were playing one of the top three sides, I would have sent my wife over there to look after her so he could play,” Phillips suggested jokingly.

I think he was joking.

Despite those unavailable through badly timed holidays, Eagles coach, Nathan Young, said he was happy to welcome the experienced trio of Joel Wilson, Simon Schutz and Dustin Guthberg back into the team.

“It’s good to have those team leaders back,” he said.

Young thought Virginia had his team

Final score virginia 19.11 (125) d hw eagles 7.5 (47) Best: Virginia - E.Tsimiklis, P.Mylonopoulos, B.Niklaus, S.Papanotis, T.Wilkey, A.Mark HW Eagles - D.Oswald, L.Belperio, S.Light, M.Higgs, S.Price, D.Guthberg

REPORT: Les Pearson covered too well and deserved the win.

“They played pretty good and delivered the ball to (Brendon) Niklaus well,” he said.

Niklaus finished with six goals.

The Eagles weren’t outplayed in every department though, Young acknowledging the efforts of his on-ballers.

“We were pretty good out of the middle,” he said.

“The boys kept trying all day, they kept battling away.”

David Oswald was used on a wing and through the centre for his long, accurate kicking, and despite being just short of a gallop, was awarded the best player for HWE. Tireless midfielder, Lee Belperio, also found plenty of the ball and was a hard worker all day.

The Eagles now face a rampant Two Wells at Lochiel this weekend.

They will again be without Joel Wilson, who will be attending a building course.

“We’re going out to compete each quarter and do the best we can,” Young said.

“We’ve just got to try to work on a few of the little things.”

The Rams will do battle with Mallala, plenty of hard yards being done on the training track to get the fitness levels up.

“We’re working the hardest we ever have,” Phillips said.

“I don’t think it’s going to hurt.”

He said defender, Michael Hay, has missed the last two weeks with a suspected broken bone in his arm and some work commitments.

“At this stage he’s a required player although when he’s right, he may have to come back through the reserves,” Phillips added.

He also suggested the Rams may not be as heavily rotated this weekend.

“Not as much but if the game goes our way, we might try a few different things,” Phillips said.

n cheyenne Pennycuick, Balaklava and Jess Waddell, Long Plains locked in a struggle for possession in the B grade game.

Golf Balaklava

An untreatable lust for catching squid and whiting on behalf of its compiler meant the golf result for two weeks ago was a non-event.

In brief however, Merv Hameister (35 Stableford points) won the A Grade ahead of Bill Lokan (33) and Doug Taylor (32), John Michael (35) cleaned up in the B Grade ahead of Murray Smith (30) and Norma Taylor (27) while Mike Smith (29) knocked Greg Anderson into 2nd place in the C Grade on a count back, leaving Malcolm Liptrot (28) to take third.

So, as for last week’s high drama, the threat of a spot of rain kept the fairweather wielders well away leaving us with just 16 players for the Balaklava Electronics Trophy, a Par round and justifiably, a single grade affair.

Mighty Merv. Hameister (-1) was our winner, while the good Count was called upon to make sense of the next four results; Martin Bell (-2) ahead of Malcolm Liptrot (-2), Greg Anderson (-2) and Wayne Nagle (-2). Behind these luminaries came a rag-tag bunch, namely M. Loy (-3), G. Sonntag (-3), P. Thompson (-4), A. Henstridge (-4), D. Taylor (-5), W. Parkin (-5), D. Rodgers (-5), J. Michael (-6), W. Berry (-8), D. Trickett (-9) and M. Smith (-12).

Doug Taylor and Merv. Hameister both struck Birdies on the 3rd, but Doug held on to his Nearest the Pin, as did Greg Sonntag at the 8th and Bill Parkin the 17th. Golfer of the Winter points went to Merv. (6), Martin (5), Malcolm (4), Greg (3), Wayne (2) and the rabble got one each.

This Saturday, a Stroke round will settle the Winter Shield for 2012 and the winner of the Free Choice Trophy.

Peter Thompson will start proceedings, then Dave Rodgers will end them from the safety of the 19th. Please don’t forget our Balaklava Open on Sunday 12th. August, a 27 hole marathon for A, B and C Grades.

The Stableford competition played on Thursday (July 5) was won by Errol Branson with 39 points, from Ed Manning, Roger Hahn and Roen Cameron 35.

Other prize winners were Gary Woods, Ian Ferguson and John Riley all with 34.

Errol Branson had the only Birdie on the 5th, while Ian Ferguson (9th) and Gary Woods (14th) won Nearest to the pins.

John Nairn wins 12th Open Championship

In a field of 49, John Nairn won the Open Championship for the 12th time since his first win in 1993. John, who began his golfing career at the Hamley Bridge Club, scored a 2 over 107 to finish in front of another Hamley Bridge player.

Thomas Smith, who is also a two-time

winner, came in with a 4 over 109. Hamley Bridge-bred golfers have dominated the A Grade championships since 1991, with John winning 12 and brother, Richard Nairn, winning seven. The dominance of the Nairn brothers was prominent in the 90s with only Balaklava champion player, Peter Thompson, winning in 1999 to break a sequence of 12 wins in a row between the two brothers. It was great to see Peter back to compete again this year.

Balaklava and Hamley Bridge member, Roger Hahn, won the B Grade championship for the fifth time with 127, from another Hamley Bridge player, Neville Durdin 130.

In the C Grade, it was also a Hamley Bridge affair with Gary Woods winning for the second time, with 141 from Ross Hienze 142.

SPORT v Netball

Finals intensity as Two Wells downs Mallala Third ranked Two Wells needed to prove themselves against fourth placed Mallala. Both coaches agreed the atmosphere tasted like finals fever on Saturday at Mallala.

A high class game is how Two Wells coach Stacey Gameau described it. Two Wells started well and extended their lead in the second quarter. They managed to hold on to their lead in the last quarter to win by five.

Coach Stacey said “All my girls tried their best to ensure we came away with the win. GA Trisha Beer lead well into goals, GK Karen Penhall took some great rebounds and intercepts in defence and Nicole Hardy, who was our best on court, took many intercepts and lead well through the centre court.”

Mallala coach Katie Kreig was full of praise for her girls, saying on Saturday they found the belief and assertiveness that was lacking at the start of the season. “Once again our defence end were awesome,” commented Katie. “Kerryn Obst, Jessie Neilson, Clare Bruggemann and Jayne Brown from half time (replacing Jessie at GK due to injury) applied pressure all game. Our attackers reoffered and attacked the ball with fierce commitment and optimism. Tessa Jarmyn, Diana Feeley, Carla Jarmyn and Tracy Kennett used patience and clever strategy to get the ball to the post.”

GA Diana Feeley, in only her second game for the year, won best for Mallala.

Courtside with Merridy Manuel Hummocks annihilates Virginia

As was probably to be expected, top placed Hummocks demolished bottom rung Virginia on Saturday.

Playing on inside courts, and avoiding threatening thunderclouds, Hummocks raced ahead with a ten goal lead at quarter time. They continued to dominate, the third quarter being the most severe, with Hummocks scoring 23 to Virginia’s 2.

Virginia were further crippled by injury during the game. GK Jamie Healey pulled a foot muscle at the end of the first quarter and C Belinda Evans pulled a muscle in her hand reducing the team to only six players in the last quarter. Maybe coach Shelley should have jumped on the court. Shelley proved her netball finesse earlier, winning best player in the A5s. However, the fact she was umpiring made this a bit tricky! Sarah Smith reclaimed the netball yellow jersey this week for Virginia.

Much to Hummocks coach Sam Nicholls’ chagrin, yet another line up was needed this week. Sam is still waiting on Lisa Powell and Sarah Young to fully recover, and Claire Schulz was away. However, this allowed A2 GK Holly Cowan a chance to join sister Bonnie Nicholls in defence. Holly

APNA RESULTS EMBROIDERY & SCREEN PRINTING SPECIALISTS

must have played a cracker, keeping Virginia GS Angela Williams to only three goals for the game. Angela won best player last week, her first match for the club.

Sam commented that Hummocks had specific goals for the game. “The girls all the way down the court put on immense pressure and it was great to be on the end of some great passages of play.” Sam also wanted to thank Sally Fritz from Hamley who gave up her weekend off to umpire for Hummocks. Coach and GS Sam Nicholls won best on court for Hummocks

Balaklava wins despite poor start

Long Plains dominated the first quarter on their home ground on Saturday, ahead by eight at quarter time.

But, Balaklava then brought on sky-diving GD Sophie Kupke, who has been away for three weeks, and they outscored the Tigers by 11 in the second, leaving the Peckers ahead by three at half time. Balaklava extended their lead to nine in the third but Long Plains kept the scoring even in the last quarter.

Long Plains coach Josie McArdle said the first quarter was their best quarter for the year. But after the first quarter, “A few mistakes cost us dearly,” commented Josie. “We aim to be more consistent with our play in future.” Emma Laintoll was back again at GK and Josie thought Alicia Sharman and Tori Doherty were best on court with Tori taking the official best player award.

Despite the rain staying away, Tess Pollard still remains in Darwin, sunbaking. Nadene Wehr has made good though, not only

n ABOVE: Two Wells centre, Rebecca Pym, looks for a clear pass as she is tightly defended by her Mallala opponents. n RIGHT: Mia Darling, Two Wells, misses an intercept on Mallala’s Tessa Jarmyn. taking her girls to victory but collecting best player in the process. Nadene was very pleased with how the girls performed this week, and gave credit to their trial game at training against Min/Man. Nadene said, “The defensive pressure by the girls was very impressive and created lots of turnovers. The attacking end played very well with great drive down the court & slick passing into our shooters. GA Talia Kruger shot at a high percentage and in the fourth quarter Sally Arbon came on in goals and didn’t skip a beat.”

This weekend

Two Wells take on Hummocks at Lochiel and they will be keen to show their grand final potential. Virginia have another home game against Mallala and a rested Hamley take on Balaklava.

Long Plains have the bye. All games are at 1.45pm.

Rams in form but ‘Pies still fighting Virginia v Mallala

TWO weeks and two big losses to top four teams have the Magpies looking at losing their top four spot.

Should they lose to Virginia and if Two Wells beat HummocksWatchman Eagles, Mallala roll out of the top two for the first time in several months.

The Magpies were smashed with injuries in June and battled through, not dropping a single match.

Despite that, they’re going to have to work harder than ever to retain that second spot with the Roosters and the Rams hot on their tails.

Virginia believes it should have beaten the underdone Magpies last time they met but were left scathing by another gutsy effort from Mallala.

The Rams have enjoyed a solid month, registering good wins against Balaklava, United and the Eagles, with the shocker against Two Wells the only blemish.

Troy Wilkey is probably Virginia’s form player at the moment.

If Mallala can quell his influence, perhaps through a tag from Daniel Griffiths, it would greatly help the Magpies’ cause.

Mallala have struggled to kick a good score for the past fortnight or so, with Scott Hahn having limited opportunity.

Hahn will need to kick a big bag for the Magpies to be in the hunt and with some possible big inclu-

before the bounce Round 14 APFL preview with Les Pearson

sions, including Christian Rimmer and Jordan Clements, he has more of a chance to do so this weekend.

Virginia look to have the form but this game is a tough one to tip.

HWE v Two Wells

WITH the form Two Wells is in lately, it is hard to see how

Hummocks-Watchman Eagles can overcome them, even on the hallowed turf of Lochiel Oval.

As Joel Wilson is out, the workload in the centre falls on the likes of Todd Twelftree, Lee Belperio and Brad Higgs.

The battle of Eagles giant, Shaun

Light, against Two Wells’ monster ruckman, Simon Feast, should be another cracker, should Light be available.

Otherwise, the responsibility falls on Shaun Price and Simon Schutz, who probably don’t quite have the size and strength of the Roosters’ veteran.

The other question is, how do you stop the Two Wells midfielders from getting on top?

Ned Seccafien and Ben Spiteri are typically the in and under ballgetters, with Jarred Allmond, Khan Leighton, Daniel Hines and Eamon Fetherstonaugh amongst a plethora of players able to go through the centre.

If you were going to stop one, it has to be Khan Leighton. The evasive midfielder’s run and carry is most damaging.

Up forward, Lee Allmond is emerging as Two Wells’ number one goal-kicking option, with Andrew Hardiman down on his early season form of late. The defendercome-forward, Anthony Pontt, has added some height in the Roosters’ attacking end too, since returning from injury about a fortnight ago.

All factors point to a good Two Wells win but the HWE is a proud bunch and won’t be too keen on letting the Roosters have it all their own way in the Eagles’ nest.

Balaklava v Hamley Bridge

BALAKLAVA will have a few

players on the sidelines this week when Hamley Bridge comes to town.

Midfielder, Aaron Cocks, returned to training last week on the mend from an AC joint injury, while Ryan McPharlin (knee), Scott Farrell (knee) and Jason Henderson (work) are likely to miss as well.

The Bombers are all too familiar with injury and unavailability this year but should be able to put a reasonable team on the park this weekend, similar to the one that put in a good effort against Two Wells before the bye.

Last time these teams met, Justin Walker (Balaklava) and James Sullivan (Hamley Bridge) had a great battle in the ruck, although Hayden Walker missed the match with suspension.

The Bombers have a number of rookies running around this year, the likes of Rhys Darwin, Sam Collings and Jayden Wedding all playing good A grade footy at stages this year.

Craig Taylor is also a threat in the Hamley Bridge midfield, while Dale Norman is an underrated contributor.

Balaklava’s engine room has been in excellent nick the last few weeks though, and with the form of key defender, Brenton Lamond, of late, the Peckers look to have too many winners on paper and should come away with the points at Ralli Park.

Cows require little looking after apart from milking. They like dry grazing fields with shade and plenty of fresh water. A good cow, milked once a day, will supply enough milk for a family of four people. Milking just one cow can be a quiet country pleasure rather than a chore.

No farmyard is complete without hens wandering about, scratching and clucking. Half a dozen hens will produce enough eggs for a family of four people with enough over for friends sometimes.

Home raised and fattened poultry has a taste all its own. Use a sharp axe to decapitate a plump young bird, then prepare it carefully for the pot.

In today’s ‘modern’ era, when many farms carry little or no stock, much of this information would be classified as hobby farming.

Multi Exhaust & Brake Virginia Crossword

Good News Ken Packer

‘

have your target locked in for some one-on-one dancing, there’s always a few classic tunes with a slower tempo that can help seal the deal, or get you well on the way there.

You might not always get the right track played when you need it, so a sneaky request to your friendly DJ can’t hurt.

There are many timeless tunes that can help net your desired catch, including “Candy Shop” by 50 Cent, “Yeah”

by Usher or Justin Timberlake’s “Sexy Back”.

Some real deal-sealers I’ve seen work more often than not over the years are “Hot In Here” by Nelly, “Buttons” by Pussy Cat Dolls and Christina Aguilera’s “Dirrty”.

Line up two or three of these babies back to back and if you’re not getting anywhere, give up for the night and go get a yiros.

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

Love never dies of old age

The Proof and Experimental Establishment Port Wakefield is a vital Defence test and evaluation capability that has supported Defence since 1929.

These firings may require specific tidal or weather conditions, and are critical for the safety of current and new Defence capabilities. Members of the public may notice noise, vibration, flashes and/or smoke during the testing. There is no risk to the public outside of the gazetted Defence Practice Areas.

Trespassing in this Area is strictly prohibited and very dangerous due to the presence of unexploded bombs. Any person found within the Prohibited Area or on Defence land will be subject to prosecution.

Specific test and evaluation activities may also require restricting public access to the Port Wakefield Defence Practice Areas over specific periods with these areas articulated in the Commonwealth of Australia Gazette No. GN 40, 7 October 1992, and also identified on the diagram below. This may affect access to the Gulf of St Vincent at Port Wakefield and Port Parham.

Magpies outclassed

Roosters a threat for second spot the Final Siren with Les Pearson TWO Wells moved within one win of second spot on the A grade ladder with a comprehensive 63-point win over second-placed Mallala on Saturday.

With far superior percentage, the Roosters are looming as major threats to Mallala’s position in the top two, while the Rams aren’t far away either, also one game behind but with inferior percentage.

The Roosters took a handy 23-point lead into half time, Mallala sitting a few players behind the ball to stem the scoring.

However, with Simon Feast dominant in the ruck for Two Wells, the runners also came into the game more in the second half and the Magpies simply got left in their wake.

Mallala coach, Steve Lubcke, admitted his team was outclassed on the day.

“They’re a very good side,” he said.

“We stayed in the game until half time but we never really gained the initiative on them.

“Feast’s form was a factor against us and got the ball down to their midfielders well but our ruckmen battled valiantly against him.”

Lubcke said the Roosters’ run and spread took its toll.

“Their pace also hurt us in patches,” he said.

Despite the efforts of Joel Montgomerie and Jason Earl, Mallala were also beaten soundly in the centre clearances.

It was only the second time since Two Wells have beaten Mallala since mid-2008.

“It wasn’t really about revenge for us, it was about getting better at what we’re doing,” Roosters coach, Mark Thomson said.

The familiar names of Khan Leighton and Ned Seccafien were excellent around the stoppages for Two Wells.

Lee Allmond was double-teamed by Mallala defenders but still presented hard,

found footy well and bagged four goals.

With the extra Magpies in defence, key defender, Sam O’Brien, was freed up and reportedly clunked 16 marks.

There were no structural changes for the Roosters heading in, the line-up steady now for the past three weeks or so.

Theo Markou, Bryce Hart and Dean Coates are all awaiting a recall but it is proving a hard team to crack into recently. n Continued page 18
