Another step forward Bowmans Intermodal poised for expansion

n CUTTING the ribbon at the Bowmans Intermodal ceremony is Federal MP for Wakefield, Nick Champion, with Balco managing director, Malcolm May (left) and Wakefield Regional Council mayor, James Maitland.

THE Bowmans intermodal freight terminal expansion was officially opened on Friday, a major step towards improving South Australia’s road and rail freight infrastructure and boosting the local economy.

The site is an important freight transfer station, where cargo is taken from trucks and put onto rail,

Les Pearson reports: for transportation to the export ports in Adelaide, effectively removing a number of trucks off of the road.

Three companies, Balco, Australian Milling Group (AMG) and Bowmans Logistics, currently occupy the site, which can now

accommodate more businesses and is capable of handling twice as much freight.

Transport logistics firm, Toll, also utilises the site to transport lead from Port Pirie to Adelaide. The project was jointly funded by the Federal government ($2 million), the State government ($268,000) and Balco ($1.8 million).

At the opening ceremony, Federal Member for Wakefield, Nick Champion, representing the Federal Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Anthony Albanese, congratulated all involved with the expansion project, first conceived in 2006. n Continued Page 4

Snowtown will become SA’s largest wind farm

SOUTH Australia’s largest wind farm will be built at Snowtown.

Renewable energy firm, TrustPower, has appointed Siemens as its turn-key supplier to construct the Snowtown II wind farm, using for the first time in Australia, world-leading gearless drive wind turbine technology.

With the $439 million project formally reaching financial close last week, the Snowtown II wind farm development will be capable of generating 270 megawatts of renewable energy and powering about 180,000 South Australian homes.

Siemens Energy head, David Pryke, believes Snowtown offers some of the most ideal wind conditions for the production of renewable energy. n Continued Page 9

‘Part of the future for SA’ Money for

OPPORTUNITIES for industrial growth in the district were significantly boosted with the opening of the Bowmans Intermodal Freight Facility Expansion, making it the largest inland intermodal freight terminal in Australia.

Local hay exporter, Balco, was a major investor in the expansion.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Balco managing director, Malcolm May, forecast bigger things to come following the expansion.

“This project is part of the state’s infrastructure, part of the future for South Australia, especially to open up the northern areas,” he said.

“This is an historic moment for this site.”

Mr May said the site currently handled 25,000 containers (also known as twentyfoot equivalent units or TEUs) per year and already has a projected output of 27,000 to 28,000 TEUs next year.. n Continued Page 4

Golden touch to winter

Taylah, Amber, Casey and Andrew Pratt have golden smiles to match their canola crop.

FARMERS will be keeping one eye on the sky in coming weeks, watching for vital late winter/early spring rain to finish off a promising start to the season.

With rain falling over the past few days, Grace Plains grower, Andrew Pratt, will be one of those keen to see a third solid season in a row, following on from successful 2010 and 2011 years.

Some of his Telfer canola, which is typically an earlier flowering variety,

has started to flower and is showing potential. “We’ve grown it the last four years or so and yield-wise, it hasn’t been too bad,” Mr Pratt said.

He was out on the boomspray this week, spraying grass in amongst his lentil crops.

“They’re not looking too bad either, everything is looking OK at the moment,” Mr Pratt added.

While he admittedly was yet to have a close look at his canola, he believed the cold winter had not

drastically affected the crop.

“We’ve probably had more fog than frosts, which would be the main problem,” Mr Pratt said.

He has sown a little less canola this year, in contrast to a district-wide trend towards the yellow flowered crop.

“I’ve probably put a bit less in this year, mainly due to rotations more than anything else,” Mr Pratt said.

Prices are right up right across the board at the moment, following

the drought in the United States this season.

Wheat prices are hovering at about $300 a tonne, while canola is pushing $567 a tonne.

Mr Pratt said with subsoil moisture still relatively solid, the finishing rains in coming weeks are pivotal to another good year.

“We definitely need rain this month, that’s important,” he said.

“We’d take another 25mm, that would be great.”

NEWS v London Olympic Tribute

WELL DONE! Be proud as David and Hayley show true Aussie Olympic spirit Les Pearson reports: HOYLETON Olympian, David Chapman, will go from shooting against the world’s best at the London Olympics last week, to competing at a social shoot in Maitland this weekend.

“I have a social event on the weekend at Maitland, so I’ll go over there and share the story,” he said.

“At least there won’t be any training to worry about.”

He arrived home on Monday, while daughter and fellow Olympian, Hayley, is staying on in London a little longer.

David returned somewhat disappointed with his output, after finishing 18th in his qualification group.

“Generally, it was an average sort of score for me although I was down probably 10 or 15 points on where I would have liked to have been.

“It doesn’t sound like much but at that level, it’s quite a bit.”

His shooting on the day was in contrast to an outstanding form spike heading into the competition.

“Leading up to the competition, I was very pleased,” David said. “The routine and the training was good.”

A personal highlight came during training, David shooting a 100 in the four second strings, followed by a 99.

“I fired my best rounds off in training but I didn’t expect to shoot like that in competition,” he said.

When the competition arrived, for one reason or another, that form faded.

“There was some nervousness there. I didn’t think it was significantly affecting me but there was something I couldn’t put a finger on that I could change,” David said.

“I had some snippets of good strings but it was frustrating and annoying.”

– DAVID CHAPMAN Perhaps too harshly, David felt he was amongst the swag of Aussie competitors to perform below par.

“It’s been that scenario for sure,” David said. “I can’t say it’s a contagious virus that has spread but it’s just one of those things.

His performance aside, David enjoyed watching Hayley compete on the world stage.

“It was certainly a proud moment to watch her,” he said.

David admitted it did get frustrating when things weren’t going well in Hayley’s first half of her shoot.

“I really wanted to help her but as her dad, it would have probably been interfering at that stage,” he said.

“I was more there to give her a hug and pick up the pieces afterwards. She was disappointed

”

Unlike many of the athletes, David left the farm, his livelihood, to compete.

“I didn’t lose any sleep over what was happening back home,” he said.

“I certainly had confidence in my brother Andrew to manage the farm and keep the workers occupied to a reasonable extent.

“It was generally a quieter period with mainly spraying to be done.

“If it had been three weeks earlier, I would have almost thought of not trying out for it.”

Whether he will go back for another crack in 2016 remains to be seen.

“I’m unsure of that at this stage,” David said.

“I’m getting on in life and it depends on the work situation and how

the family farm will be structured.

“Commonwealth Games are more of a possibility.”

The support he received while abroad was also heartening.

“It was lovely to hear from people I know but hadn’t heard from for many years,” David said.

“I would like to thank the community for their support and prayers, my family for looking after the farm and my wife for her supportive conversation, event though we struggled with technology at times.”

Ever the optimist, David said it was a thrill to compete.

“Overall, it was a wonderful experience,” he said.

“It was disappointing to finish the way I did but a little bit of time heals most wounds.”

in the first half, very much so. To her strength and credit, she dug in deep and got a good, solid second half. She handled herself well in that stage.”

Hayley finished 34th in her event.

The huge crowd packed into the stadium for the opening ceremony was also a pleasant memory.

“You don’t get to see the whole ceremony first-hand but you get to experience the atmosphere when you walk in,” David said.

The thrill of interacting with the thousands of school children who had lined the street ahead of the opening ceremony was also hard to top.

“Once we stopped and were ready to march in, it was good to share the experience,” he added.

NEWS v District

Wendy thankful for quick response n WENDY Schulz with the burnt pot holder as another shows where it fell on a hotplate.

WHERE there’s smoke, there’s fire – usually.

Luckily for Wendy’s Café and Cakes owner, Wendy Schulz, her business was spared the flames after smoke was spotted inside her Balaklava shop on Wednesday night.

Balaklava Freechoice owner, Fil Scaffidi, fortunately noticed the smoke about 8pm.

“Fil said he heard an alarm and then when he came outside, he saw the smoke,” Wendy explained.

After receiving a phone call, Wendy jumped in the car and hurried in to town.

“Driving up here, I was on the edge

of my seat and sorting through my keys, getting ready to go,” she said.

Four CFS appliances and two police officers responded as well, although the amount of smoke inside the shop suggested there was no immediate safety threat.

“You could see from the front of the shop, the smoke wasn’t that bad,” Wendy said.

A pot holder which fell onto a stove element, which was left on, was the cause.

“I think what might have happened is when I turned the hotplate off, the switch may have been a bit sticky, and it may have gone a tiny bit past off,”

Wendy said. “It was just warm enough to start it smouldering. It goes to show you should double check everything before you leave, even at home.”

Wendy was more than aware she was very lucky.

“It could have been worse,” she said.

“Be vigilant with all your cooking and electrical appliances. It’s a lesson learned.”

She thanked locals who helped contact herself and emergency services, who were on-site quickly.

“The response was excellent, they were quick and efficient and I’m very thankful,” Wendy said.

Man arrested over pornography OWEN A 41-year-old man from Owen was arrested

The South Australian Government has made a commitment to give formal recognition to Aboriginal peoples as the First People of this state by asking the Parliament to amend the state’s constitution.

Consultation is being undertaken by an Advisory Panel established by the State Government to advise on options for amending the constitution.

To assist in the consultation process, a discussion paper has been prepared. It can be read at www.timeforrespect.org.au The Panel is first seeking written comments from the South Australian community, and particularly from Aboriginal people.

Note that written submissions must be received by 15 September 2012.

Consultation meetings will then be held across city, regional and remote South Australia to seek further feedback.

The Panel will then report back to the Government by 30 October 2012.

C&GVC CEO, Roy Blight, said the monument was insured. Mr Blight, who attended the recent meeting of Ta r l e e C o m m u n i t y Services,advised the monument would be restored or replaced with advice from residents.

More potential for Bowmans •From Page 1 He believed the future looked promising.

“When you start looking at the future of this area, we have AMG, Toll and Balco here, which provides solidarity plus ensures work for the train,” he said.

Mr May also revealed another company may bring its business to Bowmans, which will be announced within the next month.

The intermodal site, which should be fully operational by September, had great prospects.

“This hub here has the potential of being a ‘Berth 29’,” Mr May said.

Berth 29 is a major freight accumulation point site, where export cargo is sorted out and sent to the wharf at Port Adelaide.

Mr May touched on the delays to the project, in the main due to the global financial crisis, and thanked the Federal government, a main investor in the expansion, for its patience throughout the process.

The project is not quite completed, with

an office, testing station and an automatic weighbridge still to be built.

Mr May revealed Balco has applied to Wakefield Regional Council (WRC) to increase the size of the site by about 1000 acres (400 hectares).

He said it would open up access to two kilometres of train track along the existing rail line, allowing the site to capture full trains and trains from Western Australia trains could also come to the site.

•From Page 1 “I was reflecting about all the things that have happened in that time, with the global financial crisis and just how business around the world has changed,” Mr Champion said.

“It’s so good to come out here and see this project finished and all the investments flowing from it, coming on board.

“We know if the government puts money into infrastructure, particularly economic infrastructure, we can generate jobs and investment from the private sector will flow.

“Often, the money that government puts in is they key to unlocking a region’s natural economic growth and we certainly see that here.”

Mr Champion applauded Balco, project manager, Roger McQuire, and the wider region for its continued efforts to grow the local economy.

“That tradition continues on now and you can see the resilience,” he said.

“Even though the world has had a lot of troubles, this region has kept on growing and applying for important government infrastructure. We see the (water) pipeline that is going to come down and hopefully liberate other private growth in the region.

“I think it’s a real tribute to Balco, Wakefield Regional Council (WRC), which is pro-growth, and a tribute to those of you who work hard here every day.”

WRC mayor, James Maitland, said council had been a big supporter of the expansion from the beginning.

“Council approved the application for the upgrade of this site in about 2006,” he said.

“It has certainly been a joint process between Federal and State government and private enterprise in the financial sense and council has done quite a bit of the work on behalf of the people out here.

“It’s been our pleasure to do that and it has helped us as a council.”

Mr Maitland also touched on the

potential of the site once the pipeline from Auburn to Port Wakefield is upgraded.

“I think that is another example of what will allow this facility to grow and also allow developments to occur in the future,” he said.

The expansion will result in 17,000 less truck journeys to the port of Adelaide each year.

South Australian Minister for Transport, Patrick Conlon, said the expansion project had seen construction of a new 10,000m2 hardstand floor, as well as an upgrade of the existing one so heavy freight containers can be stored and stacked.

“The project also involved the installation of five two-stand outlets to keep refrigerated containers cold while on site, as well as the provision of new lighting and pedestrian walkways,” Mr Conlon said.

“More than 30 jobs were created for the construction phase and a further 20 full time jobs will be needed on site, to manage the day to day operations.”

tively bolster the site’s ability to store anything for future mining expansion in the state’s north.

“I think that’s going to be important,” Mr May said.

He acknowledged the efforts of those workers on the ground, who put in the hard yards over several years to see the expansion completed.

“Country people have a different attitude, I believe, to city people,” Mr May said.

“With what people have done for Balco, if we were in the city, we would not be here – but because we are in this area, people have supported us beyond what others would realise.

“Staff in the country have a different attitude and make it work.”

Mr May also extended his appreciation to WRC. “We’ve predominantly used council to do a lot of work for us and we sincerely thank them for it and it has certainly been appreciated,” he said.

He added his gratitude for work of project manager, Roger McQuire, as well as the Federal and State governments for ongoing supportive investment.

“We want the government to share our excitement, share our vision and help expand this facility for South Australia.

“We also want the community to do this too and be excited about our region, because it has a great future.”

Y favourite word seems to pop up at various meetings and events around the place – the C word – communication.

People who know me well, know I usually don’t have a communication problem – although maybe I need to reduce my ‘communicating time’ when on the phone.

(My record is five hours on the phone to Joy Ryan - but that was her fault as I could hardly get a word in! Truly.)

Anyway, we had a big discussion on communication at home recently, brought about by trying to communicate with, and help translate for, our young Japanese exchange student.

The language barrier often proves to be a problem around the world, as travellers would know, but there are other ways to communicate.

We have resorted to using facial expressions for our student, Daichi, plus drawings, and speaking slowly (that’s been difficult!)

But we have also worked out an easy way of communicating in what is a worldwide language – playing games.

The boys took Daichi to play table tennis in the shed, with the obligatory rock music blaring.

Then after dinner, the Uno cards came out and lo and behold, he knew how to play it. Easy.

That’s helped solve one minor part of a limited English understanding, and we’re looking forward to playing more games over the next two weeks.

With the Olympics on, I started wondering how athletes from every country in the world communicate when language is a huge barrier.

There’s the obvious things such as hand gestures – a wave or the two-finger salute, depending whether you like the person or not.

There’s a smile, hug and kiss on the cheek, for those you like and haven’t seen for a while (maybe since the last Olympics).

But what about body language and chemistry? We’ve heard of athletes ‘fancying’ someone from another team, but how do they ‘get

with

Louise Michael

together’ when they don’t speaka da language?

Well, love (and lust) don’t require language (not usually anyway) and can be shown by body language and eye contact.

It’s quite interesting to note the IOC (International Olympic Committee) obviously is aware of athletes’ sometimes amorous escapades, by providing 100,000 coloured Olympic rings (condoms) to the 12000 athletes. Do some calculations – that’s 8.33 each. Not sure what happens on the ninth time ...

For the record, condoms have been handed out to athletes in the games since Barcelona in 1992.

The IOC and UNAIDS organisation said “While the supply might appear provocative, it’s important

”

not to lose focus on the real reason why condoms are crucial. It’s part of our commitment to promote AIDS awareness and prevention.”

I’m glad they’ve got their priorities right. Another form of communication is the printed type – the Plains Producer is one of those.

Our kids almost wrestle each other, in true WWE fashion, to read the paper first every week.

Now back to the most common form of communication – verbal.

Some people use their verbal skills in destructive ways, thus creating unnecessary problems. Not verbal, but Facebook is good at that.

Communication is a tool which should be used to solve problems, not create them. Hopefully, you can all see the importance of communication in one form or another, so ensure you do it well!

If you want a change from watching the Olympics on television (another form of communication), take a look at Channel 7mate.

The directors of some new American shows obviously want us to laugh AT their hick new stars, who appear happy to star in shows portraying them as complete hillbillies.

Have a look at Swamp People, Swamp Men, and now Turtle Man. They’re very entertaining but it’s scary knowing they are real people who actually do what’s filmed.

The contest for the best kiddy cake was on!

Gone are the days where a little bit of sponge mix popped in the oven will suffice. No. Thanks to all these television shows and glossy cook books, kids think anything is possible. Some cake designs call for all the skill of an architect and sculptor.

So just how far would this competition go?

Comprehensive internet searches for the perfect accessories and methods were conducted. Whole day outings were spent foraging for the perfect ingredients, serving boards and recipes to complement the cake design.

Much ado was made about cake choice, design, flavour and size. Miss Six didn’t give me much choice. I protested the selection she made for me was very ‘brown’. An echidna with chocolate sticks for spikes. You can’t do much with that.

Daddy Cool on the other hand, carefully coerced the birthday girl into a more aesthetically pleasing choice. All of the kid’s cake books were placed in front of her with plenty of ‘gentle suggestions’ made.

Finally a ladybug design was settled on. Both cute and symmetrically pleasing to the eye with bold vivid colours. Daddy Cool had the upper hand this year.

But who really won this battle of the cakes?

Whilst Daddy Cool has long since staked his claim to victory and run a mile with it, it was Miss Six that really won. Two cakes – that’s a great day for any six year old!

safety of retractable seating in the Balaklava Town Hall has come under the scrutiny of Wakefield Regional Council.

Council conducted an investigation into the potential risk management considerations associated with the retractable seating units, prompted by a minor fall last year.

“While this is the only accident of this type recorded by council, the potential was considered serious and an investigation undertaken,” WRC governance officer, Brian Shields said, through his report in the council agenda.

Mr Shields said the retractable seating manufacturer, Acromat, advised fitting removable hand rails was a possibility, costing about $2200.

“The risk assessment undertaken suggests the costs, both direct and indirect, of adding the removable rails is not warranted at this time,” he said.

The Heart Foundation is looking for big-hearted volunteers from across South Australia to take part in the annual Doorknock Appeal this September The charity hopes to recruit an army of 15,000 volunteers who will aim to raise nearly $600,000 to help the fight against heart disease, the number one killer of Australian men and women.

New research which shows having a pet is helpful for people living with chronic illness reinforces the need to recognise the role pets have in health maintenance, according to the Australian-based president of the International Society for Anthrozoology, associate professor Pauleen Bennett.

“We have known for some time pet ownership is associated with improved mental and physical health but this research has unexpectedly identified pets help people feel they can manage chronic illness,” she said.

“Pets help people to take time out from day to day activities, simply by stroking a cat or walking a dog.

For someone suffering a chronic illness, this can be a powerful intervention and creates a positive mindset.”

NEWS v District

‘Change the ‘no go’ zones’ Les Pearson reports: FOUR amendments to the draft sanctuary zones in Marine Park 14 have been outlined in Marine Park 14 Action Group’s (MPAG) official position statement, which was developed last week.

In the document’s executive summary, it outlines the changes in detail.

“We seek to amend four aspects of the government zoning proposal,” it states.

“Change the outer boundary to exclude Port Wakefield and the main channel from the Marine Park, reduce the size of Sanctuary Zone 1, reduce the Habitat Protection Zone, which blanketed the Marine Park unnecessarily, to become individual buffers around each sanctuary zone and maintain existing shore based fishing and camping at American River.”

The position statement runs through the MPAG’s reasoning behind its changes.

“This community-designed proposal will ensure the minimisation of the social and economic impacts for the Port Wakefield region and at the same time setting aside areas for conservation,” the summary said.

“The action group’s proposal has provided for ecotourism and educational opportunities.

“The community proposal has honoured all government policy commitments and met the core biophysical principles of comprehensive, adequate, and representative.

“The community proposal will allow for sustainable growth and development of the Port Wakefield township and the valuable industries of recreational and commercial fishing.”

Marine park meeting at Port Wakefield

A TOWN meeting about the proposed sanctuary zones in Marine Park 14 will be held at Port Wakefield from 2pm in the Eagles Sports and Community Centre on Sunday, August 19.

Marine Park 14 Action Group chairman, Bart Butson, said the group confirmed the town gathering at its meeting last week.

Wakefield Regional Council Mayor, James Maitland, along with corporate services manager, Steve Jonas and Member for Bart Butson with the current zones. Goyder, Steven Griffiths, at-

tended the MPAG meeting.

Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources (DEWNR) project co-ordinator, David Pearce, also attended the meeting.

“We had a good turnout, quite a few people from the community turned up to ask questions,” Mr Butson said.

The group discussed the town meeting and also produced an official position statement to present to the State government regarding Marine Park 14 (see

Call to arms

Calling all fishers, both landbased and boaties who value access (and want to preserve it) to Port Wakefield, “The Run”, Breakaways, Pelican Bay, Port Arthur and Devil’s Elbow.

Your time is now for action, otherwise you will certainly lose

these traditional areas to Marine Park 14 if the current proposal goes ahead as it is.

What can you do? Attend the public meeting on Sunday August 19 at 2pm at Port Wakefield and show your support for the Action Committee that is fighting to prevent this unjust impost which will have huge ramifications socially and economically for this

area. I cannot stress enough, the urgency and the need for your attendance and voice.

And nearby areas take note, if this “No-go and no-take” area goes ahead, you will be affected because boaties and landbased anglers alike will be coming to your area to fish. See you at the meeting!

Jeff Sutton, Balaklava

MPAG chair, Bart Butson, said the document represents the group’s views about the zones and the marine park in general.

The position statement will be presented to councils adjoining Marine Park 14, including Wakefield Regional Council, District Council of Yorke Peninsula, District Council of The Copper Coast and District Council of Mallala.

Mr Butson said WRC mayor,

James Maitland, would organise the document to be taken to the Local Government Association (LGA).

He believed the group’s proposal in the position statement accounted for both conservation and preservation of the local fishing industry, both recreational and commercial.

“A sanctuary zone of 61sq km is situated adjacent to the township of Port Wakefield and will have enormous social and economic

consequences for the region,” the position statement says.

“Valuable commercial and commercial fishing areas have been included inside the current sanctuary zones.

“A high proportion of boats launched from Port Wakefield fish in Sanctuary Zone 1.

“Under the current proposal, Marine Park 14’s commercial fishers will incur greater than 50 per cent

separate story). Mr Butson said local interest, particularly from the recreational fishing sector, has been strong.

“The group would be nothing without the recreational fishers, they’re really driving it,” he said.

Mr Butson encouraged all locals with concerns about the impact of the marine park sanctuary zones on the community, to attend the meeting.

Guest presenters and speakers at the town meeting will be named in coming weeks.

displacement of effort. Significant losses to recreational shore based access in three key locations will occur under the government current Marine Park 14 zoning design.

“These areas include: Port Arthur, American River and Pelican Beach.”

Another major concern for the MPAG was the threat of losing the ability to dredge the channel.

“The council’s ability to maintain the current practice of dredging of the Port Wakefield channel is uncertain,” the position statement says.

If the channel could not be dredged, it could put a line through the proposed Wakefield Waters residential development and restrict access to the port.

Mr Butson said it was a grey area in the establishment of the marine park.

“DEWNR apparently thinks it will be fine but we’re worried about the detail and red tape, which could come up and stifle the development,” he said.

What next for Blyth hospital?

Sale leads to questions on its potential use The former Blyth Hospital is now up for sale, displaying a for sale sign at the front of its closed doors.

The hospital, which is currently owned by Blyth Development Board, originally closed as a hospital in 1992, and has since been used by tenants, including Statewide Group Training.

Blyth Development Board secretary, Ian Roberts, said it was a mutual decision on behalf of the Board to put the building on the market through Ray White Clare Valley.

“The role of the building has changed and we think it can be

used in another way to support the community,” Ian said. The Board is hoping the building will be used to benefit the wider community, and is counting on ideas from the public on what can be done.

“We are interested in hearing ideas from the community on how this building can be utilised effectively in the town, and if it comes down to offering it on a lease instead of selling, it is an option,” Ian said.

If and when the building does sell, the money will be invested in Blyth community organisations.

The property comprises five separate titles with an extensive

building complex with solid stone buildings and additional shedding and storage areas.

Real Estate agent Geoff Schell from Ray White Clare Valley said there had already been interest shown in the former hospital.

“It is a unique building and sale, and so far we have had around six to eight enquiries,” he said.

“The buyer could use the building for a number of purposes including a backpackers hostel, an aged care facility – or the old nurses quarters would be perfect for residential purposes,” Geoff said.

THE $2 billion master planned community at Buckland Park, to be known as Riverlea, is progressing on schedule with the delivery of water and gas infrastructure well advanced as part of broader infrastructure investment around the region.

Developer, Walker Corporation, has awarded the successful tender for these infrastructure works to Adelaide firm, BJ Jarrad Pty Ltd, as preparations for capital works across the site continues.

Buckland Park development manager, Simon Kay, said construction of the vital works was progressing well.

“The first major tender was a significant milestone for the project and it underscores Walker Corporation’s commitment to the creation of this new community at Buckland Park,” Mr Kay said.

Walker Corporation is now operating out of its newly refurbished offices in the Virginia Shopping Centre while developing plans for Stage One. The offices were recently refitted to provide information and imagery from the nearby site at Buckland Park.

The Project Team is based in these offices providing an ideal venue to engage with representatives of supplier groups, contractors, community organisations, project partners and potential customers who will play a key role in building the community.

“Virginia will be the closest neighbour to the new community at Buckland Park Virginia will be the so it made sense to foclosest neighbour to cus our support here,” the new community Mr Kay said. at Buckland Park “We will move to so it made sense to the Buckland Park focus our support site once construction here – Simon Kay of the display village and Land Sales and Information Centre is complete.”

Walker Corporation has committed $76 million to develop the first stage of the master planned community.

Works for Stage One will include the Port Wakefield Road intersection upgrade, the Entry Boulevard including a water feature, entry statement and landscaping, landscaped drainage swales, 145 residential allotments and a display village of approximately 25 homes.

Other Stage One works will include a civic park, landscaped streetscape and a project Sales and Information Centre, which will incorporate convenience retail and community space.

The 12,000 dwellings to be developed over the next 20-25 years will be built alongside infrastructure including four primary schools, two high schools, parks, neighbourhood centres and about 200 hectares of conservation and recreational open space.

Once finished, Riverlea is expected to have a population 50 per cent greater than Mt Gambier, and three times the size of Mawson Lakes.

Direct benefits to the surrounding community include improved water and sewer infrastructure, improved shopping provision with a district centre comprising 35,000m² of retail floor space and community service provisions including police, fire and ambulance.

Other benefits include improved public transport services and employment opportunities with about 2000 jobs to be created from construction and 10,500 jobs to be created upon project completion.

Walker has estimated an investment of $4.3 billion in the local economy over the life of the Riverlea project and is working with the State government and the City of Playford Council in preparation for the development.

“It was just something to get the kids involved with literacy activities and get them active as well,” she explained.

“It is also a great opportunity to get outside and have some fun.”

There were overall prizes for the winning teams, plus awards for various feats, including highest score in certain activities.

“We also built a bit of rivalry by pitting home groups against each other,” Mrs Pringle said.

The race was developed following recent staff training, based around the Tactical Teaching: Reading program.

Snowtown will be biggest wind farm •From Page 1 “The wind technology chosen for the project is ideally suited to the Snowtown II site, featuring stateof-the-art gearless drive systems and highly efficient rotor blades allowing us to maximise the delivery of reliable renewable energy from this project,” Mr Pryke said.

TrustPower, a publicly listed New Zealand electricity company, awarded Siemens the contract to engineer, procure, construct and maintain a full turnkey solution for 90 wind turbines including the substation, switchgear and transformers to connect into the grid.

The Snowtown II wind farm will cement South Australia as the lead generator of renewable energy having already exceeded the nation’s 20 per cent by 2020 renewable energy target with 26 per cent of South Australia’s electricity now generated by wind.

SA has now set a target of 33 per cent renewable energy by 2020. The new Snowtown II wind farm is set to help achieve this target.

Snowtown II is co-located with the existing Snowtown wind farm, which will more than triple the renewable energy generation of the region.

Early preparations have started, ensuring the project is fully operational by the end of 2014.

Wakefield Regional Council mayor, James Maitland, was keen to see some action at last. “It has been in the system forever. Bring it on,” he said.

WRC was approached by Siemens to upgrade some roads in the district last month to accommodate increased traffic to substations and other wind farm infrastructure.

Mr Maitland said council would accommodate those works, which will be paid for by the developer.

Mrs Pringle said The Amazing Literacy Race showed students literacy is an important facet across all subjects, not just English.

Presentations of awards will be made during National Numeracy and Literacy Week, in about two weeks’ time.

Mrs Daniel said The Amazing Literacy Race took a lot of time to organise but with excellent student participation and enthusiasm, it looked to be a hit.

“It’s taken a lot of work to get this up and running,” she said.

Both teachers felt with the first race out of the way, the structure was in place to run future Amazing Literacy Races in years to come.

BALAKLAVA High School was abuzz with activity on Wednesday, as middle school students (years eight and nine) literally ran between classrooms while participating in The Amazing Literacy Race.

BHS literacy teachers, Jess Daniel and Sonia Pringle, developed the race concept over the past few months.

Students worked in pairs, thinking their way through activities at different stations, located at various corners of the school.

There were nine stations, encompassing all teaching faculties within the school, each of those (barring the Library station) featuring two activities students could pick from.

To receive their next clue, each team had to complete one of the two activities on offer at the station.

Once complete, a teacher stamped their passport and they moved on to the next station.

Pairs had to complete six of the nine stations on offer, before returning to the finish line.

NEWS v Two Wells

Local talent comes to life Bec O’Brien reports: Artists of all mediums, styles and subject matter were celebrated on August 1, with the launch of the District Council of Mallala’s Living Talent-Living Local exhibition.

DCM mayor, Marcus Strudwicke, opened the event at the Two Wells Public Library, saying the exhibition was part of the South Australia Living Arts (SALA) Festival, which runs from August 3 – 26, and was free to enter.

“The SALA festival is a truly unique statewide celebration of the visual arts,” Mr Strudwicke told the gathering.

“We are pleased and privileged to have nine local artists displaying work in our exhibition.”

Artists displaying their work included Peter Thompson, Don Morcom, Eric Williams, Ellen Steyn, Judith Verner, Tania Gilbert, Carrie Flamank, Susan Pearce, and Pat Thompson.

The artists used many different mediums, including water colours, acrylic paint, pencil, chalk and textiles to create a range of colourful, detailed, interesting, intricate and inspiring artworks.

Lewiston artist Ellen Steyn, had a number of items in the exhibition and said it was terrific to see the work of local artists being encouraged and admired.

Ellen uses acrylic paints to depict mainly horses and animals and has been working in the industry for decades, having taught at the Minlaton Gallery and at schools around the state. “I’ve been doing art since I was a child and could pick up a pencil,” she said.

Some of the artwork displayed as part of the exhibition is for sale. Drop into the Two Wells Public Library, DCM offices in Two Wells and Mallala, and the Mallala Library to view these wonderful artworks.

The exhibition will also be on display on the DCM website www.mallala.sa.gov.au under the Events page.

THE population of Lewiston has increased by 250 people over the past five years – but so has the cost of rent and the weekly wage. Statistics gathered from the 2011 census say not much else has changed.

While the age groups have varied only slightly over the years, the biggest change is the five to 14 age group which has dropped nearly three per cent to 15.6 recorded last year.

While the 25 to 54 age group has decreased two per cent from 47.9 per cent in 2006, the 65 and over group has increased two per cent to 7.4 per cent in 2011.

With these statistics, it makes sense the median age has risen three years to 39.

More Australians are in the town, with the percentage rising nearly two per cent, to 79.6.

In 2011, the population was also made up of 9.5 per cent English, 1.1 per cent Scotland, 0.6 New Zealand, 0.6 German and 0.6 Netherlands.

It was also recorded last year that 59 per cent had both their parents born

CENSUS SNAPSHOT in Australia and 27.5 per cent had both their parents born overseas.

Religion has taken a dive over the past five years with the no religion category rising nearly four per cent to 33.9 per cent in 2011.

While the Anglican religion has risen one per cent from 17.8 per cent in 2006, the Catholic religion has dropped two per cent to 15.4 per cent last year.

In 2011 it was recorded 54.5 per cent of marriages were registered and 11.7 per cent were de facto.

Pay packets are a bit heavier then they were five years ago, with the aver-

age weekly individual wage rising $92 to $558 in 2011. The amount of couples choosing to have children doesn’t appear to have changed, with the percentage of couples with kids rising 0.2 per cent to 55.4 per cent last year and couples without kids dropping only 0.2 per cent from 33.5 per cent in 2006.

The cost of living has risen slightly, with the average weekly rent rising just $37 to $220, which is still $65 less than the median national weekly wage.

Monthly mortgage repayments have also risen $455 to $1538 recorded last year.

Not much has changed when it comes to owning, paying off or renting houses, with only a two per cent increase to 26.5 per cent with people who own their home outright, and a one per cent increase to 7.3 per cent with people who rent.

While not recorded in 2006, in 2011, 30.6 per cent of people were in an educational institution, of these 37.3 were in primary school, 26.1 in secondary school and 14.3 in a tertiary or technical institution.

Wakefield Regional Council will be hosting a tree planting day at the Rocks from 10am on Sunday August 26.

About 600 trees need to be planted.

The day has been organised as part of the Revitalising the Rocks Reserve project funded by a Northern and Yorke NRM board Community Grant Fund.

ANIMAL WELFARE LEAGUE NEEDS HELP, AS ...

Thrifty thinking has impact on donations Are community thrift shops becoming a thing of the past?

Statistics show fewer people are donating to thrift shops due to the economic downturn, with people preferring to keep or sell their clothing, either online or at garage sales. As a result, revenues have fallen by almost 20 per cent.

The Animal Welfare League (AWL) recently launched a fundraising campaign, “we’re a whisker short so throw us a bone”.

The campaign is to bring in more donations and support of the community.

AWL is a not-for-profit organisation and helps 20,000 dogs and

cats each year, relying on donations to keep up their vital work.

Manager of Gawler’s AWL store, Penny Hopper, admits times are tough.

“We have noticed a decrease in donations over the past couple of months, particularly winter clothing, bedding and bed linen,” Penny said.

While understanding people may prefer to sell their own stuff, Penny encourages people to still think of the charity.

“If you have a garage sale, even giving 10 per cent of the profit to AWL would greatly help,” she said.

The local Balaklava, Church of Christ SWAP shop has also noticed a slight decrease in donations, with Lyn McPharlin, a volunteer at the store, concerned it could impact further.

“We are lucky we have a back load of clothing that we can continue to sell, so we never run out”.

“We are quite blessed with what we have been given but of course it would be great to continue to receive further donations,” Lyn said.

So if you have any unwanted clothing or items you no longer need, please drop them into your BALAKLAVA’S Swap Shop volunteers (from left) Wendy Harvey, Pam local thrift shop and help to con- Chipman, Jen Searle and Lyn McPharlin with merchandise. But there’s tinue this great cause. always room for more good quality donated goods.

Insurer warns of kangaroo danger

LVD1021

TERRITORY

special feature v MOTORING

Insurer SGIC is urging drivers to be careful on regional roads after the insurer received more than 1,000 claims for accidents involving animals.

SGIC head of research, Robert McDonald, said kangaroo collisions on country roads are a significant problem that peaks during winter.

“At this time of year, many kangaroos were active on our roads,” Mr McDonald said.

“They are often looking for food at sunrise and sunset and it’s during this time that an increased number of collisions occur.”

Mr McDonald said although most animal collisions occurred on country roads, drivers should also be mindful when dogs and cats are near cars.

“Dogs are the second most likely animal to be hit and we also regularly see insurance claims from collisions with cats and emus.”

Mount Gambier, with 54 strikes, recorded most accidents with animals, followed by Port Augusta, 34 and Penola 25. Closest town to this region was Williamstown, with 14 accidents.

Keeping your kids safe of surviving a serious crash. So the simple fact is seatbelts and child restraints save lives and can reduce the trauma of crashes dramatically.

“Nothing else offers the same level of crash protection for babies and young children as a properly fitted child restraint,” Mr Tuffnell said.

Red Cross has been providing infant restraint sales and hire services to South Australians for more than 25 years.

Red Cross baby seats store manager, Pete Miller said travelling in a size-appropriate restraint that’s properly adjusted is a gift to child passengers.

“You’re not only reducing the risk of injuries from crashes, you’re also teaching children the value and importance of seat belts. Good habits like these help reduce our State’s road toll.

“People need good advice on what’s right for them. Sadly people receive conflicting information about child restraints from a variety of sources.

“People should seek the advice of an independent and formally trained child restraint professional to help decide the safest solution for their personal circumstances.

“It doesn’t cost much to have your child restraint professionally installed or checked, and you’ll have peace of mind knowing that your child is travelling safely in your vehicle,” Mr Miller said.

MAC recommends parents or carers dropping their kids off at school to let children out of your vehicle on the kerbside; take extra time to look for kids at intersections, on median strips and on kerbs.

Enter and exit driveways and alleys slowly and carefully particularly when reversing; Watch for children on and near the road in the morning and after school hours; Reduce any distractions inside your car so you can concentrate on the road and your surroundings. Put down your phone and don’t talk or text while driving.

and you thought women couldn’t read a road map ...

Men DO need help with directions The advent of the SatNav has seen a role reversal in one of life’s great “battle of the Sexes” in the front seat of a car.

New research from leading national car insurer, AAMI, reveals it is now men who are seeking navigational advice, rather than women.

Nationally, 64 per cent of males use a GPS device to find their way as opposed to only 50 per cent of females.

“In the past, the man was confident he could find his own way,” said AAMI corporate affairs manager, Reuben Aitchison.

“It was a point of honour, sometimes known as stubbornness.

“Their long-suffering wives and girlfriends, meanwhile, insisted on asking for directions,

knowing full well it would have to happen eventually. Now the wonders of modern technology have turned this time-honoured tussle on its head and brought peace to the front seat. At least as far as directions are concerned.”

And if spouses were looking for ways to maintain matrimonial harmony on the highway, in a separate poll, AAMI asked

whose voice would be most likely to get you to use your GPS. Actors dominated the poll, with ‘Morgan Freeman as God’ securing 40 per cent of

the vote, followed by ‘Your favourite actor/actress’, Family Guy’s Stewie Griffin and Alan Rickman. Surprisingly Darren Lockyer and Yoda also garnered strong support.

“While SatNavs are undoubtedly useful, especially for keeping the peace, they do come with an element of risk,” Mr Aitchison added.

“If you’re using any kind of tech device while driving, you presumably have at least one hand off the wheel and your eyes are off the road. Those few seconds you’re distracted are all it takes for a tragedy to occur, “said Mr Aitchison.

“If you need to use a GPS, input the data before you start your journey, and if you need to edit the information en-route, pull over again.”

THE Motor Accident Commission (MAC) is reminding parents and carers of the importance of child restraints to ensure their children are secured in the correct child restraint.

MAC general manager corporate affairs, Ben Tuffnell, said to ensure the safety of your child and to comply with the law, children must be restrained correctly at all times, even when driving at low speeds or on short trips.

“Having your child safely belted into a child restraint that is suitable for their size and age, and is correctly fitted and adjusted, is paramount for each and every journey.

“Statistics show nearly 60 child passengers aged 0-16 years are killed or seriously injured in South Australia each year. Nearly one third of these are aged 0-7 years.

“It’s also disturbing to realise each year about one child a day sustains minor injuries.

“Just over 45 per cent of passenger deaths and a quarter of those seriously injured in this age group were not wearing a restraint at the time of the crash.

“Wearing a seatbelt doubles your chances

SPORT v Football

Magpies run over Bombers ASMOOTHLYskilled Mallala team extinguished any potential challenge from Hamley Bridge at Mallala on Saturday, rolling the Bombers by a nicely rounded 120 points.

The Magpies came in to the match having snapped their recent three match losing streak the week before.

They quickly established their authority, doubling Hamley Bridge’s first term output of three goals, two behinds, putting six goals and four points on the board themselves.

The margin blew out to nine goals at the main break and things went downhill from there for the Bombers.

Mallala coach, Steve Lubcke, said it was a onesided affair.

“We had plenty of the ball and hit up our targets well,” he said.

However, things could have been much worse if not for inaccurate goal kicking from Scott Hahn (six goals) and Brian Montgomery (five goals), who were both fairly wayward with their shots at goal.

Lubcke said the victory was exactly what his team needed.

“We’ll certainly take the win over recent results,” he said.

“For me, the most pleasing part was we dominated every quarter and we haven’t been able to do that the last month or so.

“Our delivery inside 50 efficiency was about 80 per cent, so if you’re around those numbers, you’re probably going to have a lot of shots at goal.”

Lubcke said Hamley midfielders, Valor Thach and Craig Taylor, were potent early but once the Magpies dried up their supply, the Mallala midfield got right on top.

“We certainly won that

area throughout the day,” he said.

Again, the rookies in the team drew praise from the coach.

“I was impressed with the performance of our young guys stepping up,” Lubcke said.

“Rather than just making up the numbers, they’re becoming a real asset out there and getting some confidence by realising they belong in the team.”

Jake Birchmore controlled the half back flank, Jordan Clements had plenty of it through the centre and Troy Algar bagged four goals.

Hamley Bridge coach, Ash Barnett, was scathing in his analysis of the match.

“They were good, we were terrible,” he surmised.

The Bombers were hurt with the withdrawal with some key players, James Sullivan and Jason Brooks amongst them.

“We just couldn’t cover those losses from last week,” Barnett said.

Plains Producer, Wednesday August 8, 2012

“Joel Montgomerie brought his own footy and it might sound strange but we couldn’t afford to tag him.

“Their guys just went in and had a crack, not enough of our lads did.”

Too many times this year Hamley have been punished for lapsing in periods of a match but Saturday, there was not much resistance.

“It was well and truly over pretty early on,” Barnett said.

“If I could, at least 12 players would be dropped for their efforts for the whole game on Saturday.

“That was the most disappointing thing from our point of view.”

REPORT: Les Pearson

Final score mallala 24.21 (165) d hamley bridge 6.9 (45) Goals: Mallala - S.Hahn 6, B.Montgomery 5, T.Algar 4, J.Montgomerie 3, D.Feeley 2, J.Walsh 1, B.Hardie 1, R.Montgomery 1, B.Martin 1; Hamley - C.Taylor 2, S.Hanson 2, J.Eastwood 1, L.Norman 1 n playing chasey: Magpie Joel Montgomerie is too quick for Bomber Luke Shanahan in the A grade clash on Saturday.

It is not like Barnett hasn’t tried to shuffle things around a bit, with between 45 to 50 players used in A grade at various times this year.

“That includes about 12 or 13 reserves players

and every colt we could play,” he said.

Taylor and Thach were again the main contributors for the Bombers.

“Craig is obviously injured and he tried hard but ran out of steam in the

second half, probably due to his injury more than anything,” Barnett said.

He saved a particular mention for Tyler Miller, who was promoted from the reserves.

“Tyler Miller in the ruck showed what it was like to have a genuine go,” Barnett said.

“I was really happy with him.”

Miller has earned himself another game this week.

“Absolutely, he’ll be in, no doubt,” Barnett confirmed.

“He played with heart and passion and that’s what a lot of our guys are missing.”

Barnett is hoping for good numbers on the training track, which have been lacking in recent weeks, with the opportunity to leap off of the bottom of the ladder presenting itself this weekend, against Hummocks-Watchman Eagles.

The Bombers have finished last in the past

seven seasons.

“We discussed that after the game on the weekend but there wouldn’t be many in the team who have been there that long,” Barnett said.

“We’re going to battle it out to the end of the season, there’s no worries about that.

Dylan Collings is likely to make his A grade debut for Hamley Bridge, while other youngsters are a shot to play, as long as they show commitment by training.

For Mallala, the big win sets the pattern to follow this week against United.

“That’s been the whole thing after a disappointing three weeks or so,” Lubcke said.

“You’ve got the talent there but you lose the confidence and become a bit reactive to the other team.

“We’re getting the confidence back to take the game on.

“We just want to keep on building from here.”

• From back page “You’re not going to win too many games kicking like we did, especially when you’re down by that much at quarter time.”

Two Wells’ general play was speedy and skilful, particularly when going into attack.

“When delivering into the 50 metre arc, we really hit up our targets well,” Thomson added.

Luke Webb then blew the game open with two great running goals in the third term, while Ben Spiteri added a major from a forward stoppage.Andrew Hardiman had also worked hard up and down the ground.

However, Thomson felt another Peckers comeback could have been on the cards when Tallan Leighton left the field with a hamstring concern.

“With Feasty already off and Tallan came off in the third quarter, I was worried the floodgates might open again,” he said.

It just didn’t come though and once Khan Leighton booted his first for the day in the last quarter, it was party time for Two Wells.

Hardiman booted three goals for the term to finish with five for the match.

Allmond’s delivery from defence was telling in the end, while Slattery competed well against experienced opponent, Hayden Walker.

Lamond gave Two Wells credit for its performance.

“They seemed to be hungrier for the footy,” he said.

“Their midfield got on top in the first quarter but I felt we were back in the contest in the second but just didn’t finish off our opportunities.

“If you kick five goals instead of two, the game is back in the balance.”

Justin Michael put in for the Peckers midfield, Riley McDonald put his body on the line time and time again, Chad Ruiz found his share of touches, Max Doherty tried and captain, Hayden Walker, was a consistent contributor.

“He probably wasn’t as dominant as he can be but he battled hard all day,” Lamond said.

Tim Hines also managed to keep the dangerous Glenn Dawson to just one goal. Thomson said Hines was hard done by to miss the best players in an excellent team performance.

Considering the Roosters were missing the likes of Lee Allmond, Dylan Wise and Sam O’Brien, the win was even more impressive.

Thomson said Lee Allmond would probably play the coming game against Hamley Bridge, Feast will be monitored but won’t be risked and Tallan Leighton came up well from his hamstring concern.

O’Brien underwent surgery on his badly fractured finger and could be out for the rest of the year. It is a cruel blow for both player and club, O’Brien one of the more consistent performers in Two Wells’defence this season.

The Roosters go into the bye full of confidence.

“We’re looking forward to it with the

injuries we’ve got,” Thomson said.

The squad will enjoy a lighter week on the track before facing Virginia the following week.

Lamond was not panicked by the big defeat.

“We’ve won 18 of our last 20, including Saturday, so it was really just a bump in the road for us,” he said.

Things don’t get any easier for the Peckers though, with Virginia keen to also chalk up another win this weekend.

“We can’t under-estimate them, that’s for sure,” Lamond said.

“They’re another team hungry for a win, vying for that top two spot.

Confidence boosting win for Magpies A grade

It was a case of “no Rimmer, no problems”, as Mallala chalked up a confidence boosting win over Hamley Bridge, the final margin an impressive 120 points.

Hamley opened, kicking with a slight breeze and when the Bombers started with a rushed behind, and then a goal to Shane Hanson, the visitors were looking good. It didn’t last. Three unanswered goals, the first from Troy Algar, soon had the home side in front.

Hamley hit back. Craig Taylor and Lachlan Norman replied. Scores were virtually level before Mallala ran out the term with another three goals in a row.

Aside from the exceptional work of Joel Montgomerie, Mallala also had Sam Angus, Troy Algar, and David Pontt in fine touch early. Hamley was well served by Craig Taylor, Shane Hanson, Valor Thach and Jamie Winton. Tyler Miller also continued his recent good form for the Bombers.

After a Mallala goal to open the second term, the Bombers came back again with majors to Craig Taylor and Jed Eastwood. But that was it for the Bombers. It was now all Mallala.

While Ryan Appleton was doing well at the centre clearances for Hamley, he was getting little support. Mallala were on top on every line. Jacob Walsh dominated in ruck and Jason Earl and Lewis Helps started to fire.

Only some ordinary kicking saved the visitors from a bigger half time deficit.

Things went from bad to worse for Hamley after the big break, with their sole effort in the third quarter being a rushed behind. Mallala wasted numerous opportunities for a percentage boost, kicking two goals six behinds before a couple of popular six pointers.

Defender Robert Montgomery followed the ball down from the backlines and kicked truly.

Ben Martin got plenty of support from the home crowd when he also slotted one through.

Hamley defenders Nathan Harvey, Bradley Nicolai, Dale Norman and Daniel Ellis had their hands full.

Sharing the load and numbers at the contest paid off for Mallala as they ran the game right out. The efforts of Robert Montgomery and Ben Martin may have stung Mallala into some accuracy as the ‘Pies put on six goals without a miss early in the final quarter. This was before Shane Hanson replied for Hamley.

The Bombers only added the one goal from six scoring shots for the quarter.

Best of the majors late in the game belonged to Jacob Walsh. In spite of a strong tackle, he somehow managed to get boot to ball and kick the last goal of the game. Scott Hahn with six goals, Brian Montgomery five and Troy Algar four did most of the damage on the scoreboard.

Anthony Hallett did well for Hamley late in the game but it had little effect.

Troy Algar across half forward and Jake Birchmore across half back were both were key factors in the Mallala win. Joel Montgomerie was at his best, Jason Earl all quality, Brad Hardie on a wing getting back to his best form. Sam Angus, Ben Moffatt, Jacob Walsh, Kris Barry plus a host of others. Even ‘Whitty’ had a kick on the oval, but there will be no miracle comeback this year. Mallala are building momentum for the finals and clinging to a hope of the double chance.

Jase Morgan saw plenty of the ball, and Derek Tiller.

Ben Edwards produced a contender for ‘goal of the year’ early in the third, before Mallala added another four goals. A Darren Eastwood goal prior to the last break just kept the scoreboard ticking over for the Bombers.

Mallala’s inaccuracy in the final term prevented an even bigger blowout.

Hamley had goals to Adam Baker and Dylan Poultan. The Bombers had lots of triers but few winners. Sam Collings, Dylan Poultan, Gavin Branson, William Ahrens and Ben Farrugia had some good passages of play. Peter Burman in the backlines and the only multiple goal kicker, Adam Baker, were useful.

Jase Morgan was best for Mallala with a solid four quarter effort.

Jack Dixon continues to be a revelation for Mallala. Kale Jameson the pick of a solid defence, Derek Tiller with his five goals, Dale McLean racking up the possessions, Kurt Smith two goals, and a big influence up forward. Scott Gardner is improving each game. It was good to see Chris Hallion back on his feet after the week before. Well, at least one of his feet.

Mallala have plenty to do if they want to play in the major round.

Mallala kept its finals hopes alive with an impressive 73 point win over a disappointing Hamley Bridge side.

Victory was set up early on with a five goal to one opening term. Mallala made full use of a slight breeze. The match was effectively over by half time with another five goals to one.

William Ahrens and Adam Baker were the goal kickers for the Bombers to the main break.

The Bombers were in all sorts of strife. Playing coach, Peter Burman did his best in defence, Sam Collings, Danny Campain and Gavin Branson useful. Mallala had winners everywhere. Dale McLean busy as always, Kale Jameson in defence,

A great game of junior colts football, with Hamley Bridge playing a good team game. In a tight first half, only four points separated the teams at half time.

Kicking with the wind in the first quarter, Hamley started strong, wining the ball out of the centre and continually pushing forward, putting Mallala’s defence under pressure.

Bombers Connor Buckby and Henry McCabe played well, and Mallala’s Dylan Howell – playing for the Bombers – gave his all, kicking a major for the visitors in the first quarter.

Mallala defenders Liam Mathew and Garth Plackett read the ball well, taking numerous marks and hitting

reserves

junior colts

the ball hard. Fellow backmen Ben and Lachlan O’Leary provided plenty of rebound. In centre, Zak Roebuck positioned himself well, getting plenty of touches and Tom Jones worked hard at centre half forward.

The second quarter was an arm wrestle with neither team’s forward line able to dominate the scoreboard.

Mallala kicked the only goal for the quarter through the persistence of Tim Forst.

For Hamley, James Flage, Connor Buckby and Henry McCabe were all playing well.

With a few positional changes at half time, Mallala came out and broke the game open in the third quarter.

Garth Plackett in the forward line was a focal point and provided opportunities.

Andrew Smith, Connor Walden and Tim Forst all attacked the ball hard and the Magpies’ confidence grew. Jack McGinley’s efforts were rewarded with a goal, back in the black and white guernsey, Dylan Howell slotted one through and Ben O’Leary snuck down from the back pocket to kick a major.

Bomber Connor Buckby continued his good form with Samuel and Zachariah McCabe also playing well.

Mallala’s good play continued through the last quarter. The dominance of Wayne Miller in ruck continued, Connor Walden kept on with his great attack on the ball, Liam Mathew was still floating across half back reading the play and marking well, while Ben and Lachlan O’Leary were mopping up everything that came near them.

Garth Plackett kicked his first major for the day and Jack McGinley’s good work at full forward resulted in him kicking his second for the game.

For the Bombers, Connor Buckby’s great defensive work stopped Mallala from scoring more goals in the last quarter.

Best players for Mallala were Liam Mathew, Wayne Miller and Ben O’Leary.

For Hamley Bridge, Connor Buckby, Lachlan Rose and Leon Raether played well.

UNITED all but guaranteed it would not ‘win’ the wooden spoon this season with a surprisingly big win over Hummocks-Watchman Eagles at Long Plains on Saturday.

The Tigers were forced to make some late changes, Paul Sharer replacing Brandon Merry (illness), while coach, Travis Opitz, pulled on the boots to cover for Corey Lee-Chapman (soreness).

The Tigers jumped out of the blocks beautifully, leaving the Eagles grounded.

They slammed on seven goals in the first quarter assault and practically put the game out of reach by half time, leading by 58-points at the main break.

“Our first quarter was great and our second quarter was pretty good but in the second half, we couldn’t convert, we were back to our old ways,” Opitz said.

“They were playing really well, with their run and use of the ball,” HWE coach, Nathan Young said.

“Our first half was terrible and the damage was done unfortunately.”

With key players, Joel Wilson, Ryan Reid, David Oswald and Shaun Light out of the team, the Eagles were up against it from the outset.

“They were missing a fair few of their regular players,” Opitz acknowledged.

HWE promoted Tyler and Dylan Williams from the senior colts to cover the outs.

It was Dylan’s A grade debut and he made the most of it, Young impressed with the youngster’s speed and crumbing work.

The Eagles made some changes and stemmed the flow of goals after a dismal first half.

Shane McGuiness went to fullforward, Simon Schutz was shifted to centre half-back and renowned fullback, Sam Baker, was injected into the centre.

Baker was outstanding with his clearance work and bagged a rare goal for his

REPORT: Les Pearson efforts late in the game.

“He’s probably been our best player all year,” Young said.

Despite the defensive efforts of the Eagles, who won the second half, they couldn’t challenge the Tigers’ early lead, finishing the match with seven goals.

“The back six played really well,” Opitz said of his defence, which included Simon Schulz and Adam Mansfield.

Heath Pym was again superb for United in the midfield.

Opitz also acknowledged Sharer’s game.

“He did alright, he’s hard at it and very quick,” he said.

The coach also enjoyed the run, although he was pretty sore for the following few days.

“It was good but I got caught holding the ball once,” Opitz laughed.

The Tigers face rivals, Mallala, this weekend, and they’re keen to challenge.

“Hopefully we can, we’ve got nothing to lose, really,” Opitz said.

“If we just go for it, we could really push them.

“It’s highly unlikely I’ll play this week though.”

The Eagles have a crunch match against Hamley Bridge, which could decide this year’s wooden spooners.

“We’re probably not going to get too many back, although Light should be in again,” Young said.

“It is like a mini finals series for us, so hopefully we can play better this week.

“The main thing is we need to get off to a good start.

“We’ve been losing a bit this year, so when things don’t go well, the lads can get despondent pretty quickly.

“We really don’t want to go bottom, so this is a big game for us.”

SPORT v Netball

Balak’s unexpected victory Courtside with Merridy Manuel The Biggest upset this week was Balaklava defeating Two Wells.

It was fifth rung versus third rung, with Balak not performing well over last two months and Two Wells smashing top seeded Hummocks fortnight ago.

So, what happened?

According to Two Wells coach, Stacey Gameau, the Peckers were hungrier for the win.

“Balaklava led and shot well,” she said.

“And their defensive pressure was stronger than last time they met.

“We know we can all perform better and a rest this weekend will help a few of us recover ready for finals.”

Stacey won best for her team, playing at centre.

Two Wells started well, ahead by three at the first break with great shooting from Nicole Darling, Two Wells GA. Balaklava swapped their mid court at the break, bringing on Sophie Cocks at WD. The remaining quarters were evenly contested with Balak sneaking back a few goals each term to win by six overall.

Mia Darling, Two

Wells GK, was injured in the last quarter. Two Wells then regrouped and came back strong at Balaklava, but the Peckerettes settled and took the game.

Balaklava coach, Tess Pollard, said it was an even contest with great shooting from goalies Nadene Wehr and Talia Kruger, and strong rebounding from Alexandra Wilson at GK, who won best on court.

“I was very pleased with the girls after a couple of unsettling weeks to come out and play so positive and strong,” Tess added.

Hummocks still ‘queens’ of the castle Hummocks might have been concerned about losing Bonnie Nicholls, who said bon voyage to Australia and netball finals last week.

But no. Rochelle Smith filled the void at GD and neither Rochelle nor the team skipped a beat.

It was the first time this combination had played in the defensive line.

Long Plains started with only five of their

Coach Josie McArdle said the girls who filled in from A2 did well.

“Taryn Hall and Jess Schulz assisted Emma Laintoll well in defence, and Ali Tiller and Nic Sobey helped through the centre line.

“Hummocks were really good all over the court.

“Jane McBride was best for us on the day, a reliable target at GS.” Beth Reid won best for Hummocks and coach Sam Nicholls said it was thoroughly deserved.

“Beth’s game has been slowly building this year and on Saturday she was everywhere, taking intercepts, running, running, running and hitting the top of the circle,” Sam praised.

“She should be proud of her captain’s game.”

The other concern Sam Nicholls GS may have had, was facing housemate Emma Laintoll GK! Despite a few playful threats, the two flat mates remained unscathed and as far as is known, are still living under the same roof!

Well done girls.

Hamley snaffles Mallala Although this was the narrowest margin seen between these teams so far this season, Hamley easily defeated Mallala.

However, Mallala coach, Katie Kreig, was relieved.

“We didn’t come away with the win,” she said.

“But the girls bounced back (from last week) and played an amazing game.

“I was so impressed with the focus all the girls had.

“They were committed to staying switched on for the whole four quarters, and no matter what,

make Hamley earn it.”

It’s the first time in a month Mallala has had their full team.

Brooke Griffiths returned to WA and Emma Tiller was back in goals.

Carla Jarmyn was back at her usual position at GD after filling in at WA for the last month.

Tracy Kennett ran hard all day with a fierce determination to win her position, getting best on court again.

Next week: Things are getting serious. Score margins are narrower. Players more desperate. Finals are looming!

The deal has been sealed for Long Plains, but hopefully the girls can put up a good fight against Mallala this weekend, who must win to hold fourth spot.

Balaklava takes on the rested Virginia side, but should win.

Can Rams inflict another loss for Peckers?

Balaklava v Virginia

MANY will be wondering if the Rams can emulate their efforts from only a few weeks ago, when they inflicted Balaklava’s first loss of the season at Virginia.

The Peckers were outplayed on the day by a hungrier, determined Virginia team, although the Rams notoriously don’t travel well too far from home.

They will be out to change that thought.

Graham Rigney’s newly-found role in the back pocket has brought rich rewards for the team, the Rams relying on his experience back there in the clinches.

Daniel Kerr’s inclusion in the team has also been important to the change in fortunes for Virginia, while Nathan Warren adds height and strength to that back six.

Glenn Dawson had a quiet game for the Peckers, only kicking one goal on the weekend.

He leads Brendon

before the bounce Round 16 APFL preview with Les Pearson

Niklaus by just five goals in the season goal-kicking tally.

It adds a nice little subplot to this game.

If Virginia can beat the Peckers, it keeps the Rams in contention for a top two spot and a chance to snare it against rivals, Two Wells, the following week.

The Peckers will be prepared for a tight tussle to start with.

They need to rebound from last week’s lacklustre performance and a resounding win at home could be the tonic the players need.

Ben Galic would be an important inclusion for the Rams, considering the talls in the Balaklava line-up.

Hayden Walker and younger brother Justin have been working well in tandem this season and will be tough to beat if it’s

Plains Producer, Wednesday August 1, 2012

Chris James up against them both by himself all day.

All points to ponder but both clubs would desperately love to win this one.

Hamley Bridge v HWE

THE winner of this match is likely to avoid the wooden spoon this season.

As mentioned in previous weeks, HummocksWatchman Eagles would not have many spoons in the trophy cabinet in the club’s somewhat brief but successful recent history.

Eagles coach, Nathan Young, suggested there would not be many changes to the team that lost to United on the weekend.

The HWE form line is not great but neither is Hamley’s for that matter.

It is likely Craig Taylor, arguably Hamley Bridge’s

most important player, will miss this clash.

That in itself is a huge out for the Bombers.

Will Sam Baker get another run in the Eagles’ midfield?

Baker added some drive and a different dimension when shifted on-ball in the second half on Saturday.

At the very least, it is one of several new options Young could revert to, with a few different positional changes now presenting as viable alternatives to the team’s structure.

There should be some young talent running around in both teams too, Bombers coach, Ash Barnett, suggesting Dylan Collings will play his first A grade game, alongside other youngsters, which could include Rhys and Tyler Darwin, Jayden

Wedding and Sam Collings.

The Hamley Bridge senior colts actually play a solid, running brand of football and if it carries into the A grade in coming years, it could become a hallmark of their play.

There’s a lot on the line here for both clubs, so it should add some spice to the match.

Mallala v United

UNITED are the next club in the bottom three keen to challenge Mallala, after the Magpies previously defeated both Hamley Bridge and Hummocks-Watchman Eagles in consecutive weeks.

Can the Tigers challenge?

Their coach, Travis Opitz likes to think so.

It would take a complete, disciplined team performance from United, which is probably yet to be seen from the Tigers this year.

The likes of Heath Pym, Brad Shimmin and Adam Mansfield continue to toe the team line but a

few too many teammates tend to divert from the script too often.

Mallala is finding its feet again and coming into another form patch by the looks.

Christian Rimmer and Dan Griffiths were missing from the weekend’s win over the Bombers and could be re-introduced to the line-up on Saturday.

Their inclusions would strongly boost the midfield potency of the Magpies and give coach, Steve Lubcke, another string to his bow.

Mallala’s forward line

is all the more dangerous with both Scott Hahn and Robert Montgomery running around.

How United would go covering both those players will be of interest.

An upset looks unlikely but football matches aren’t won on paper.

That said, expect another polished performance from the Magpies again, who seem to be getting back to their full complement and are looking threatening from the perspective of fellow finals-bound teams.

Hockey

The first round of the Club Championships, the McCracken Ford trophy, and the third round of the split sixes were conducted last Saturday.

Don’t worry about his job as sparkie, Mark Loy caused a short circuit as he sizzled around the course to record 78 off the stick for a nett 68.

For his efforts he won the McCracken Ford trophy, the A Grade and also recorded the best individual score in the split sixes with 50 points.

Multiple A Grade champion and clear favourite, Bill Parkin, recorded a nett 74. His score aided by an eagle two on the 13th.

Third place was filled by Doug Taylor, with a nett 75.

Murray Smith, the club’s bionic man, didn’t set any metal detectors off last week, but he did set B Grade alight with a nett 70.

The Poms are ahead of the Aussies in the goal medal tally and didn’t Bill Berry let us know. However, an Aussie relegated him to the second position with a nett 71. The lovely Patricia Anderson recorded a nett 72 and third place.

Don’t worry about good old Collingwood forever, as it was good old Marty Bell who sent the cockies into a frenzy as he was the gold medallist in the C grade recording a nett 72.

Dennis Goudie was debating whether to play golf or watch his beloved Port Power last Saturday afternoon – good decision Dennis, finishing second with a nett 73 from fellow bikie Dean Trickett on nett 74.

Nearest the pin winners were 2: Bill Parkin, 3: Mark Loy, 8: Bill Parkin, 10: Murray Smith.

The third round of the split sixes saw Nuts and Bolts victorious with 128 points.

Progressive scores: Old Angry Bunch 376, President’s Men 352, Casual Clan 326, Nuts and Bolts 319, Three Rangers 300, Gamblers Anonymous 282.

Heritage Highlights

Sport has always been an important part of community life, probably more so in country areas.

Basketball was one such sport.

For the benefit of the younger generation, basketball used to be played mainly by young women – today we call it netball.

Women’s basketball (seven a side) began in this district more than 80 years ago, with teams from Owen, Watchman, Port Wakefield and Balaklava. There may have been others, but they were all affiliated as the Wooroora Basketball Association, and the A grade teams played for the RH Shepherd Memorial

A grade shield for 1966-1979.

However, there is one shield missing (see picture of Angela & Val Wood with shield in 1961) – Owen apparently won the premiership six years in a row (1956-61).

The missing shield covers the years 1960-1965, and Producer records indicate it was won in 1965 by the Rainbows team.

We would really like to locate the missing shield so it can be placed in the Museum – this will complete the history of women’s basketball in the local area (1939-1979).

Do you know where this shield is? Please contact Norma Schopp (ph 8862 1854) if you can help.

Shield, first awarded in 1931.

Some of the known Balaklava teams included BHS Old Scholars, BHS Present Scholars, MGC, St Josephs, Wanderers, Rainbows, Kookaburras and Rovers; Owen’s team was the Magpies.

I’M always scouting the music scene for new talent and a recent artist I ‘discovered’ for the first time this week was Birdy.

Birdy is, of course, the stage name for UK singer, Jasmine van den Bogaerde.

Her music has been circulating the globe for about six or seven months now, since releasing her self-titled debut album late last year.

ity, it’s Brown who is laughing his way to the bank.

Young music fans these days gobble this stuff up like it’s popping candy and pop artists will keep churning it out.

To support that theory, I present to you the Flo Rida single, “Whistle”.

It includes the following lyric: “I’m a damn shame, order more champagne, pullin’ them hamstring tryna (sic) put it on ya.”

My attempt at translating this would be Flo wants some more bubbly but he’s done a hammy, which is a shame.

It’s quality stuff.

In a real slap in the face to real music listeners out there, “Whistle” has gone five times platinum and spent 15 weeks in our top 50, hitting the number one position about a month ago.

Changing tact, hip-hop star, Snoop Dogg, underwent a name change last week, his new title – Snoop Lion.

derful, soul-filled voice.

Birdy’s vocals are extremely tender and light, almost floating, for want of a better word.

At just 16 years old and already a solid following, she is one to watch for the future for sure.

It’s not really my thing but I can appreciate the talent of Birdy and hope the lures of stardom don’t ruffle her feathers. (Badoom tish) I recently read a review for Chris Brown’s latest album, “Fortune”, and it is fair to say the author was not a fan.

The only songs I’ve heard on it are “Don’t Wake Me Up” and “Turn Up The Music”, which was pretty standard Chris Brown if Puzzle 39 (Easy, difficulty rating 0.38) you’ve heard his other stuff in 4 2 9 8 1 3 5 6 7 years gone by.

public notice

DEFENCE PROOF & EXPERIMENTAL ESTABLISHMENT PORT WAKEFIELD: LIVE FIRING RANGE WARNING NOTICE

Junior Champs

Test and evaluation activities involving static firings and/or firings of naval and artillery weapons are conducted at the Proof and Experimental Establishment Port Wakefield throughout the year. 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.

For reasons of public safety, there is a permanent exclusion zone covering land, sea and air around the Port Wakefield Establishment. Specific details on the Port Wakefield Prohibited Area can be obtained from Commonwealth of Australia Gazette No GN 26, 4 July 1990, and is shown on the diagram below.

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.

If any member of the public has inquiries in relation to these activities please contact Proof & Experimental Establishment Port Wakefield – Range Control, on (08) 8867 0270 between 8.00am and 4.30pm weekdays or the Proof & Experimental Establishment Port Wakefield – Security Office, on (08) 8867 0299 outside these hours.

RED ALERT

Roosters send warning to reigning premiers TWO Wells continued its outstanding streak of good form, smashing top-placed Balaklava by 53-points in a relative canter at Two Wells on Saturday.

The Roosters opened up a solid lead kicking with the breeze, slamming on six goals to none in the first term.

Ned Seccafien booted two goals for the quarter, Tallan Leighton added a couple and ruckman, Ben Slattery, also got in on the act.

Things looked good for the Roosters on the scoreboard but with ruckman, Simon Feast, injuring a hamstring, there was cause for concern.

“I was a bit worried when Feast went down early but Slattery did really well,” Two Wells coach, Mark Thomson said.

Balaklava then squandered its chance with the breeze, kicking two goals and five behinds.

Jarred Allmond was also able to intercept several entries into the forward 50 in a sweeping role.

Time and time again, he set up the

the Final Siren with Les Pearson rebound from defence with his accurate left boot.

“He liked playing that role while at the Eagles,” Thomson said.

The five-goal lead at the main break proved too much for Balaklava to overcome.

“There are no excuses, we didn’t play well and they did,” Peckers coach, Stuart Lamond said.

“They really jumped us in the first quarter, used the wind to their advantage and got a decent break.

“Then we wasted out opportunities with the wind. n Continued page 18

Jack through to motocross nationals

n jack at home with his bike, and trophies.

Move over Evel Knievel and Crusty Demons – it’s sevenyear-old Jack McLean, taking the motorbike world by storm!

Jack, who lives on the outskirts of Balaklava, won the State Motocross title on Saturday for seven-to-nine-year-olds in the 50cc division.

To be eligible, Jack had to ride, and complete, three races in four rounds during the year, held at Ceduna, Renmark, Crystal Brook and the final one at Murray Bridge.

He won, or got a placing, in every race, thus winning every round overall – a great effort.

Jack, his father Paul and brother Mitchell, all started motocross racing at the Morgan Motocross Club in early 2011.

They were encouraged to “give it a go” by neighbour Zoe Hark-

REPORT: Louise Michael ness, who won the State title in the ladies division last year.

Jack’s mum, Heidi Zerk, said, “I don’t think the boys would’ve started racing motocross at all if it hadn’t been for Zoe. “She has been very supportive and encouraging to all three of them.”

A typical seven-year old boy, Jack shows no fear, which may or may not be a good thing!

He loves riding fast and has flogged his little motorbike around paddocks on the family farm, with mum Heidi very surprised the bike hasn’t fallen to bits! n Continued page 22
