Local business hit by school supply decree

We did it again!

Three awards as Balaklava named KESAB’s top Mid North town THE people in these pictures have reason to smile and be proud. Representing town volunteers, they are holding the 2012 KESAB Sustainable Communities awards presented in Adelaide last Wednesday.

For the second year in a row, Balaklava again won KESAB’s “Best Community – Mid North” as well as a “Community Initiative” award for the Shamus Liptrot Cycling Trail – this

well timed as a community opening and family day is to be held on Saturday in conjunction with Balaklava Golf Club.

The late Phil Barry, the popular former CEO of Wakefield Regional Council and a KESAB board member, was awarded a posthumous Individual Commendation for his services to the community. This was accepted by his wife Helen Barry.

LOCAL jobs would be lost, along with hundreds statewide, and the cost of schoolbooks would increase, a Balaklava business owner claims, following a recent State government mandate.

The mandate directs public schools to purchase all stationery supplies and related products from two Victorian-based companies.

Balaklava family owned business, Warehouse Matrix, faces a loss of up to 40 per cent of its business, after schools are forced to change their suppliers.

Warehouse Matrix owner, Gil Wildman, pictured, was livid after he discovered the memo from the Department of Education and Child Development (DECD) on Thursday.

DECD chief operating officer, Gino DeGennaro, circulated a memo dated October 10 to staff at all DECD schools and preschools, stipulating the terms of the stationery mandate. n Continued Page 7

n TRUSTPOWER STARTS WIND FARM PROJECT WITH COMMUNITY BENEFITS: Les Pearson reports: SNOWTOWN could easily be renamed ‘Windtown’ in coming years, with the district set to host Australia’s second largest wind farm.

Construction of the 90-turbine, $439 million Snowtown Stage 2 officially began on Thursday, with a sod turning ceremony at Barunga Gap marking the occasion.

The wind farm will have the capacity to power about 180,000 South Australian homes.

Officials from New Zealand based energy firm, TrustPower, German electrical engineering giant, Siemens, along with State Industrial Relations Minister, Russell Wortley, attended the sod turning.

Wakefield Regional Council chief executive officer, Cate Atkinson, and mayor, James Maitland, were among local government representatives in attendance, while Danish Ambassador to Australia, Børge Petersen, was also present.

Denmark is widely considered a world leader in wind energy technology.

TrustPower chair, Dr Bruce Harker, was first to address the odd gathering of corporate big wigs, politicians, local community members and humble farmers.

Dr Harker said the partnerships between private entities, State government and regional council was a big factor in Snowtown Stage 2 reaching the construction stage.

“It takes a great deal of collaborative effort by a great deal of people to get where we are today,” he said.

Snowtown Stage 2 is a huge project for TrustPower, based in provincial New Zealand, set to become the company’s sixth and largest wind farm, which would double its current wind farm investment.

Dr Harker also touched on local community benefits to stem from the project.

“Some of these are inherent in the project, such as jobs and economic activity, and some will be from working hard with local groups, such as the Lions, to give a bit back and lend a hand locally, that’s the way we do things,” he said.

TrustPower currently donates $15,000 annually to the Lend A Hand Foundation, which is due to increase to $45,000 per year following construction of Snowtown Stage 2 Wind Farm in 2014.

Since the opening of Snowtown Stage 1 Wind Farm in November 2008, TrustPower has contributed a total of $75,000 to the foundation plus the $30,000 in-kind contribution to construction of a new skate park in Snowtown’s Centenary Park, bringing the total contribution so far “Siemens will be here for 15 to $105,000.

Siemens chief executive officer, years, so we need to get to know Jeff Connolly, commended the com- each other.”

Mr Connolly revealed the community contribution.

“I can only applaud from what pany shelled out 6.5 billion Euro a I’ve heard of TrustPower’s efforts year on research and development, to work with the local organisations leading to gearless drive technology, on projects that will help the local which will feature in Snowtown community and we look forward to Stage 2 turbines.

“You have, here in South Australa much closer relationship in years ia, the world’s leading technology to come,” he said.

Now it’s ‘Windtown’ n ABOVE: Displaying good use of a shovel is State Industrial Relations Minister, Russell Wortley, “assisted” by (from left) Danish Ambassador, Børge Petersen, WRC mayor, James Maitland, Siemens CEO, Jeff Connelly and TrustPower chair, Bruce Harker. n LEFT: TrustPower community relations manager, Graeme Purches, left, with Snowtown Lions (from left) Mark Herbert, Fay Welke, Anna Herbert and Alan Large, Siemens Australia CEO, Geoff Connelly, Snowtown Lions Ros Large and Kate Haines.

in wind power and wind energy,” he said.

“This is a very important milestone, not only for Siemens as its first wind energy project in Australia, but also for the nation in the sense you are embarking on a new electricity age with the latest and greatest technologies.”

WRC mayor, James Maitland, said the community has been sup-

portive of the project. “In my travels through local government, I have run across controversy with some of the wind farms across this state, but fortunately, this isn’t one of them,” he said.

“Once they are up there, I’m sure the whole community will benefit from them. Let’s hope our future together goes smoothly for everybody.”

Mr Wortley said the state was now a leader in renewable energy generation.

“Snowtown Stage 2 is important because it continues South Australia’s significant investment in renewable energy generation and reinforces our assertion that invest-

ment in renewable energy makes very good sense,” he said.

“South Australia is increasingly recognised as a world leader in renewable energy.

“If we were a country in our own right, we would be second in the world when it comes to generating power through renewable technology.”

South Australia has already exceeded Australia’s target of producing 20 per cent of our energy through renewable sources by 2020.

Snowtown II will help South Australia achieve the ambitious target of having 33 per cent of energy produced by renewable sources by 2020.

‘Study our community plan’ Council urges comment on district’s future

Les Pearson reports: WAKEFIELD Regional Council will be putting in a concerted effort to ensure community members have a reasonable grasp of council’s Strategic Management Plan.

The draft plan was included in October’s council meeting agenda.

It generally sets out council’s future service delivery and operations, as well as other community goals and directions.

WRC chief executive officer, Cate Atkinson, pictured, considered the document to be one of the most important plans for the district and believed residents should be aware of its contents and implications.

“We will be making every effort to ensure the community understands what’s in it,” Mrs

Atkinson said.

“We also want to make sure the community have every opportunity to comment on the plan.”

She said council would be using a number of community education avenues, including articles in the Plains Producer, in an effort to provide the public with a better understanding of the document.

A public consultation period will follow.

Mrs Atkinson said the public would

have an opportunity to comment just before Christmas, although most of the consolation phase will carry on into January and February next year.

Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources (DEWNR) marine parks manager, David Pearce, made a formal deputation at the council meeting.

During his deputation, which attracted a handful of local fishermen to the gallery, Mr Pearce mentioned the possibility of some minor alterations to marine park sanctuary zone boundaries.

Mrs Atkinson said the extent of those changes would not be known until State government announced them.

She also confirmed the Balaklava Church of Christ’s intention to build a new church and community centre in town.

“They are looking at a new site and I met with church leaders and architects to discuss the requirements of submitting a development application,” Mrs Atkinson said.

Finally, the Port Wakefield Signage Strategy saga is at last nearing its final chapters.

As a result of community consultation, council will revert back to the original town centre and service signage at the front of the Port Wakefield Bakery.

Town entrance signage will alter, as previously reported, from the tidal pool photo to a steel sailboat silhouette.

NANTAWARRA farmer Matt Higgs watches as barley pours into the truck.

Early harvest for some

GRAIN and canola is flowing into receival sites around the state as the weather warms up heading into November.

Viterra country operations manager, Andrew Hannon, said growers should be aware of what grades of grains were being accepted at its various sites in the district.

“In the Mid North region, barley and canola have been received into Roseworthy and Bowmans sites with additional sites to open as harvest progresses,” he said.

“Site and segregation availability is adjusted in the lead-up to and during harvest in line with

grain quality information and in consultation with Strategic Site Committees.”

Ports have remained busy in the off-season, after two productive years.

“Shipping from South Australia has remained strong, with 7.7 million tonnes of grain exported between October 1 last year and the end of September.

“At the end of September, slightly more than one million tonnes of grain remained in storage. At the same time last year, more than two million tonnes was in storage.”

Grain classification processes

will generally remain the same across all sites.

“Viterra, in consultation with Strategic Site Committees, has developed a number of classification procedures implemented throughout previous harvests,” Mr Hannon said.

“These again will be in place this harvest.”

Growers and carriers were also reminded of safety measures introduced by Viterra last year, including the requirement of wearing specific protective equipment. n EIGHT PAGE HARVEST FEATURE, STARTS PAGE 11

Awards to Balaklava Balaklava is celebrating a back-to-back win after being awarded the regional award for “Best Community - Mid North” in the 2012 KESAB Sustainable Communities Awards.

Local KESAB Tidy Towns Committee president, Don Veitch, at-

Louise Michael reports: tended the presentation last Wednesday.

“After winning the award last year, I was very surprised we won it again,” said Don. “It’s a great reward

for the hard work done in our community and we should all be very proud.”

B a l a k l a v a Ti d y Towns secretary, Nancy Williams, was “thrilled to bits” to win the award again.

Since winning the 2011 award, KESAB acknowledged further planning and development had been undertaken for a town water management plan, including stormwater harvesting and wetlands, Shamus Liptrot Cycling Trail, upgrades for parks and recreation areas, and community projects such as Balaklava museum, Neighbourhood Shed and skate park.

Recycling and waste management initiatives have also continued.

Balaklava Area Committee (BAC) chairman, Roger McQuire, said: “What a great result for Balaklava that we should win two consecutive awards.”

“I think it’s a tribute to the leadership qualities shown by so many members of our community who are dedicated to such a diverse range of projects and events, all of which add value to our

daily lives.”

To top off “Best Community” win, Balaklava Area Committee was awarded “Community Engagement Category – Community Initiative,” for the Shamus Liptrot Cycling Trail project, started last year.

A talented young cyclist, Shamus sadly passed away in 2011.

To honour his memory, a cycling trail is continuing to be developed, initially from Balaklava

to Halbury, along the disused railway corridor.

The first stage from the Lions trail to Balaklava Golf Club corner, has come to fruition, with the official opening on Saturday. (See more details, page 9) BAC has been proactive and supportive of the cycling trail.

With its support, a sub-committee was set up to organise fundraising events for the trail, which have been very successful.

pared to name some and not others, I particularly commend Sophie van Kleef and her team, who drove the outstanding fundraising process for the Shamus Liptrot Cycle Trail with such enthusiasm and commitment,” said Roger.

“Such demonstrations of leadership and caring by our younger members of the Balaklava family, bodes well for our future.”

Community support for this initiative has been tremendous, as the trail was not only a way to honour Shamus, but also to increase physical activity within the community.

A posthumous Individual Commendation was awarded to former WRC chief executive officer and KESAB Board member, the late Phil Barry.

Mr Barry was nominated by Balaklava Area Committee and Tidy Towns for his enthusiasm, hard work and commitment to the Wakefield region, in particular to Balaklava and its community to ensure its progress and development.

The posthumous award was accepted by Phil’s wife, Helen.

The only other winner in our region was Clare and Gilbert Valleys Council, which received a Water Infrastructure award. Victor Harbor was named overall State winner, also taking out the large town category.

Best small town went to Arno Bay, with Kingston SA taking best medium town.

Regional award winners were: Mallee – Mundulla; Southern & Ranges – Victor Harbor; Mid North – Balaklava; Yorke Peninsula – Ardossan; South East – Kingston SE; Eyre Peninsula – Arno Bay; Murray – Loxton; Outback – Marree.

Well done to everyone who could read the weird word trick in Take 5 last week. It wasn’t that hard, was it?

Some people have told me their favourite, but unusual, words, and there are some I can’t print! LOL! And how dare “recalcitrant” be used to describe me! Luckily I don’t get offended easily.

Moving on from words, what about sayings? Here at the Plains Producer, Lisa Curnow is known for saying (amongst other things!)

“Hooley Dooley”, and James Manuel says, “That is so last century.”

Excuse me, I was born last century.

“Nek minnit” is a recent popular little saying, along with “as loose as.”

JUST A THOUGHT: Never steal. The government hates competition

It’s Mars bars away for our team Riverton As part of Riverton and District High School’s physics program, four students and two staff members travelled to Kingaroy, Queensland, in the holidays to participate in UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) challenge.

The challenge was to build a remote controlled aeroplane that could drop a Mars bar near a target.

The trick was the person dropping the bar couldn’t see the plane, so had to rely on a digital camera fitted to the back of the plane.

Team OJRS (Outback Joe Rescue Squadron) had some technical difficulties, but managed one successful drop, and ended up coming eighth of 13.

Former student and UAV competitor, Stephen Cutting, went as a mentor to the students.

The team is competing in Adelaide this week and hopes to have a better result.

The government is trying to encourage students to study science-based subjects, so being involved in this is a great initiative. Well done Riverton High!

Warehouse Matrix faces a loss of up to 40 per cent of its business through government decision

Local job losses predicted Les Pearson reports:

•From Page 1 The DECD edict states Corporate Express and OfficeMax are the new providers for stationery and related products under a new threeyear across government contract, which started on October 1.

All purchases of toner cartridges is mandated under the contract for both metropolitan and regional schools, while the purchase of general office products is also mandated for all metro schools.

It goes on to encourage schools to purchase other categories of goods not mandated from the contracted suppliers.

Mr Wildman warned: “If this happens, there are 450 newsagents in South Australia and 40 per cent of a lot of newsagents’ business is office and stationery supplies for schools,” he explained.

“Say, each newsagent has three or four people on staff, it’s a minimum of one staff member, gone.”

He also expected further job losses at larger South Australian suppliers, while many businesses would also shut up shop.

“When the hospitals were mandated and had to go through this system, we knew the schools were going to be pulled into it eventually,” Mr Wildman said.

He believed the new arrangement also sets up a duopoly of sorts, meaning prices could soar for school stationery.

“The price of school books will increase in two years’ time,” Mr Wildman warned.

“That’s what’s going to happen.

Balaklava businessman Gill Wildman with stationery items at Warehouse Matrix.

He says the loss of government orders will result in local job cuts.

“They’ve got no idea, these (government) people, of the stupidity of what they’ve unleashed.”

Mr Wildman sent the DECD memo to Member for Goyder, Steven Griffiths, who passed it on to Shadow Education Minister, David Pisoni.

“This decision makes a mockery of Education Minister Grace Portolesi’s boast in August that school maintenance money would be spent with local business, trade

and construction industries,” Mr Pisoni said. “Labor’s Cabinet has the authority to exempt schools from this job-destroying policy and I call on Premier Weatherill to do so.”

The government defended its decision through finance Minister, Michael O’Brien.

The concept design has the pipeline run-

Governor to visit Two Wells RSL

HALLOWEEN fun for (from left) Bianca Musolino, Alyssia Raschella and Taryn Sochacki.

Blue Light, scarey night for Halloween youngsters Halloween was celebrated at the Two Wells Blue Light Disco on Friday October 26, with one of the biggest turnouts for the year.

About 185 enthusiastic youngsters got into the spirit of the Gothic, Ghosts and Ghouls theme, dressing up as witches,

zombies, Draculas, and of course ghosts, ghouls and gothics. While this was scheduled to be the last Blue Light for the 2012 year, the organising team is set to stage one final event on the night of the Two Wells Christmas Street Parade on December 14.

Theme will be Christmas, with doors opening at 7pm.

DJ Andrew will be on hand to spin a few tunes and there’ll be lots of prizes and giveaways. $5 entry for ages 8 to 17, finish at 9.30pm. n More pictures in next week’s Two Wells Echo

Two Wells will be honoured with a visit from the South Australian Governor on Sunday.

His Excellency, Rear Admiral Kevin Scarce, will be in town to help launch a new book about the Vietnam War. Written by Vietnam Veteran, Professor Glen Edwards, “Beyond Dark Clouds” is a compilation of “honest, thought provoking, raw life stories” by veterans and their families and is the sequel to the acclaimed book “Vietnam: The War Within”.

Hosted by Two Wells RSL, the event will be held at the Two Wells Community Centre from 3.30pm.

Horrocks highway concern THE recent article in the Plains Producer (October 24, Page 10) about Horrocks Highway name confusion causes alarm bells to ring.

It is good to see SA ambulance has kept up with change and has updated its computer databases to the new name Horrocks Highway, replacing the old Main North Road.

Surely, in this day and age, the computer software could be set up with a flag to indicate the old name Main North Road to the renamed Horrocks Highway. This would help as we have moved on from the day of local personnel, to operators in cities, interstate and often overseas in tele-centres.

Having worked within and alongside government departments, as well as SES and other service groups, when dealing with emergency calls, a lot of times you

are dealing with people who are distressed, injured, young people, older people as well as being agitated.

It is sometimes difficult to obtain the correct information needed to set in action response teams.

It is good to see the State’s arterial roads named after people who have done much for our state.

Obviously a committee or group of people arrived at these names, but perhaps if a little more thought was put into better advertising and arranging for necessary signage to be erected after all necessary consultations.

Living in Wilmington and having travelled the Main North Road many times I have yet to see Horrocks Highway signs displayed.

Main North Road starts at Gepps Cross and made its way to Wilmington where it turned left through Horrocks Pass to meet Highway One at Wininowie.

We in Wilmington recognise the road through the ranges as Horrocks Pass but from the ranges to Highway One, we assume it still is Main North Road as is retained through Tarlee, Rhynie, Auburn, Watervale, Sevenhill and Clare.

The new Horrocks Highway now goes from Willaston up through the Mid North to Wilmington and then on to Quorn, so with the non-name change in certain towns and a different direction from Wilmington, is a very good recipe for confusion.

Dave Wingrove, Wilmington.

Teachers recognised

To be eligible for these scholarships, students must agree to work for Country Health SA Local Health Network, upon successful completion of their studies for a period equivalent to the scholarship awarded.

Further information about the Scholarships can be found on www.countryhealthsa.sa.gov.au

Over the last 12 months the Federal Labor government has made one of the biggest investments ever in regional health, education, infrastructure and skills development.

The first two rounds of the Regional Development Australia Fund (RDAF) saw $350 million of Federal Government investment leverage more than $1.2 billion in total investment through partnerships – a multiplier of up to four to one.

I recently announced rounds three and four of RDAF will make available another $225 million in funding from the Minerals Resource Rent Tax (MRRT).

Round three will see $50 million dedicated specifically to projects in small towns with a population of 30,000 or less, while round four will distribute $175 million to support strategic infrastructure projects.

RDAF is driving a cultural change in regional funding by focusing on projects that stack-up, leverage investment partnerships, provide strong regional reach and generate significant commercial investment.

The first two rounds of RDAF have demonstrated we have also changed the culture away from pork-barrelling just before an election – a culture the Coalition has said they’ll return to.

RDAF represents a funding model driven by community demands, backed by an independent assessment panel and underpinned by investment partnerships.

HERE’S MORE GREAT COMMUNITY NEWS:

DON’T miss the big “family fun day” at Balaklava Golf Club on Saturday.

It’s part of a dual fund raiser for the club and the Shamus Liptrot Cycling Trail which is celebrating its community opening.

You can ride your bike, walk or even run to the club along the combined Lions and Liptrot trails – with a group of Australian Olympians for company!

Participants should gather at the area in front of Balaklava Hospital at 3.30pm to leave about 4pm.

You can join the event at any stage along the trail – but be prepared to pass through the “toll gates” where a gold coin donation (or more) will allow you to continue

on your way. There’s plenty of family fun and games and a jumping castle at the club, with lots to eat and drink from 4pm. You can go direct to the club if you wish – via a toll gate, of course!

You will be joined on the ride by Olympic Silver cycling medallists and world champions Jack Bobridge and Micheal Hepburn, Bronze medallist Annette Edmondson and her fellow Olympians, brother Alex Edmondson and Josie Tomic, a multiple world champion.

These great Australian sporting heroes (complete with their medals) also will take part in an informal talk and Q&A session in the club. What a day for families!

Top marks to our young volunteers YEAR 10 students from Balaklava High School have helped play a part in improving the community, volunteering their time in a number of projects around the town.

It is part of a new program called the personal learning plan (PLP), which encourages students to select a project they would like to help out with and get out of the classroom and physically lend a hand.

BHS PLP co-ordinator, Wally Radowicz, said it was the first time the program had been run at the school.

“Part of the personal learning plan is being involved in the community,” he said.

Beware as snakes on the move Spring brings out the sun, but it also brings out snakes.

Snakes are inactive in winter, their metabolism slows down and they lie dormant, using almost no energy. They emerge in early spring and bask in the sun to warm up.

As they go about feeding to build up their body reserves after winter, and prepare to start breeding, snakes become more active and are less wary of people.

Most common snake type in our area is the common brown, but the red-bellied black snake is sometimes seen.

Like other animals, snakes require food, water and shelter, so it’s important to keep your surround-

ings cleared and limit the main food source for snakes- rats and mice.

To reduce rodents, store bird and chook seed in sealed containers.

Baiting can be done as long as it’s in a safe and secure manner which won’t kill other animals.

To reduce snake hiding spots, keep your grass and surrounding yard mown, keep gardens tidy, store wood piles and galvanised iron heaps away from the house and sheds, and keep sheds tidy.

Reduce your chances of being bitten by watching your step, staying on paths and avoiding walking through long grass.

If you must walk through long grass, wear long pants and heavy

boots, and make lots of noise.

Brown snakes are known to be timid, so will try to avoid you where possible.

You should also wear gloves when gardening, and take care when lifting tin or sleepers, and pulling up weeds.

There are about 3000 reported snake bites around Australia each year, but only one or two are fatal.

More than half of the bites are from brown snakes, with most occurring when people are trying to kill them.

If you happen to come across a snake, the best advice is to stand still and let them get away.

They are usually more scared of us than we are of them.

SNAKEBITE ACTION If the worst happens and you have, or suspect you have, been bitten, here’s what you should do: 1. Try to remember the appearance of the snake (eg brown, striped etc).

2. Don’t wash the bite – venom needs to be analysed.

3. Place a folded pad over the wound and immobilise the limb with a firm bandage. If bitten on the head/back/neck, apply pressure bandage as well.

4. Don’t use a tourniquet or cut off the blood supply.

5. Put a splint on the limb.

6. Stay calm and call 000 for an ambulance, or get someone to drive you to hospital.

THAT’S the dream of Nantawarra farmer Matt Higgs as we get a grain’s-eye view from the bottom of the field bin in this picture by Les Pearson.

Grain flows in T

HE familiar roar of the 200 horsepower engine sent birds scattering from trees but as the trusty New Holland TR88 whirred to life, a sense of excitement mixed with dread came over Nantawarra farmer, Matt Higgs.

Last Monday signalled the start of harvest for the Higgs family, a gruelling period of up to two months where the year’s work is carted off to the silo.

From early morning and well into the night, the twin rotors inside the hungry yellow harvester will spin madly as its 30-foot comb chews through the Higgs’ wheat and barley crops.

Unfortunately for Matt, he has the often-unenviable job of driving the truck to the silo, while his father, John, manoeuvres the header around the paddock.

“I guess I get to look around a bit,” Matt joked.

The Higgs family were amongst the first few growers in the district to begin harvest, the sight of their header chomping through the crops likely to give other farmers nearby some itchy feet.

Despite the urges, most will remain patient before they pull the trigger and dive headlong into harvest.

“I guess you wait for all the right signs, like moisture and tipping of the barley, so it all seemed good to go for us,” Matt said.

The Hindmarsh barley they were reaping was yielding about nine bags to the acre. Hindmarsh traditionally is an earlier ripening variety and was one of the first

T special

feature Les Pearson

crops the Higgs’ sowed, before the first big rains in May. “It’s marginal country, so we sowed it dry to give it a chance,” Matt said. “We’re happy with it considering the little bit of rain we have had.”

That little bit of rain totalled only about 180mm for the growing season, well below average. Quality is also reasonable, considering the dry year.

“It has good test weight but screenings are bringing down the grade,” Matt said.

Most of it is graded F2, although there have been loads downgraded even further.

“Bowmans isn’t taking F3 and some of this is borderline, so we’re just carting it straight to Wallaroo,” Matt said. “It’s only 50 kilometres away, so it’s not too bad from here.”

Grain prices are also up, so while the yields are down, the year itself could be reasonable for farmers.

More growers will be tucking into barley crops this week, with most of the wheat in the region still ripening.

“It’s probably still a couple of weeks away, so we will be able to tinker around here and by the time we’re finished, we should be able to move into the wheat,” Matt said.

“It would be down on previous years too but we can’t expect too much with the little rain we had.”

SLatest technology now available at Port Adelaide DISTRIBUTION CENTRE

Super fertiliser for super crops Southern Australian farmers will have access to a new range of crop nutrition products following the opening of two new innovative fertiliser coating and blending facilities.

Leroux Beyers, CEO of Superfert Dongbu, said the company, which supplies farmers with new nutrient efficient and standard fertilisers, has expanded its business and launched two new distribution centres in Portland, Victoria, and Port Adelaide, South Australia.

The distribution centres use stateof-the-art technology to accurately coat and blend nutrients and trace elements such as zinc and copper onto individual fertiliser granules.

“This is a big investment in new technology – it is a first for the market in Eastern Australia. This means our Superfert agents can take orders from farmers and deliver high quality products to meet their specific agronomic needs,” Mr Beyers said.

Superfert Dongbu’s new infrastructure has been specifically tailored to meet an industry demand for fertilisers with improved agronomic efficiency and greater precision in nutrient delivery.

“Our coating technologies are unique in Australia. The equipment has outloading capacities of about 200 tonnes per

hour meaning a fast turnaround time for farmers,” he said.

The investment in the new facilities will also enable product development opportunities which will support their existing high-nutrient efficient compound fertiliser range such as ‘Thumper’ and ‘Victory’.

“Thumper and Victory are a popular choice for farmers because they are able to meet more of the crop’s nutritional needs in one application,” said Ian Grant, national product development manager.

Thumper provides crops with a highly-efficient, cost-effective and balanced source of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Sulphur – all in the one granule.

“Thumper, which is designed for use on cereal and oilseed crops, helps optimise crop production and minimise potential yield penalties” he said.

“We also offer Victory, which is an exclusive compound fertiliser to Superfert, making it another highly efficient Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Sulphur fertiliser.”

In addition to these product enhancements, the new facilities also allow the most accurate and even fungicide application.

“The new facilities can also be used to coat fungicide on fertiliser and achieve 100 per cent coverage to help prevent diseases,” Mr Grant said.

Superfert Dongbu’s Portland and Adelaide distribution centres are operated by highly experienced operators trained to deliver a quality product.

“We understand these fertilisers and fungicides are a huge budget expense and so have developed products which are more efficient, require less per hectare and are better utilised by the plant. This aligns with our environmental stewardship approach for farmers to get better utilisation of products and eliminate

overuse and loss to the environment” “Our products are all about offering the farmers greater flexibility – we encourage farmers to become more efficient and develop a tailored nutrient stewardship system using soil testing to ensure correct nutrient requirements are met,” Mr Grant said.

Mr Beyers summarised Superfert Dongbu’s approach: “We are confident we offer farmers the right products with agronomic integrity with flow on benefits in terms of profitability, sustainability and environmental performance.” n For further information visit: www. superfert.com.au/

Sresearchers ask grain growers to monitor crops:

Solving mystery of ‘white grain’ Grain growers who suspect the presence of “white grain” in this year’s wheat crops are being encouraged to contribute to research into the mysterious condition.

White grain has emerged over the past two seasons as a new problem in the southern cropping region, resulting in loads of grain being downgraded or rejected.

With support from the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC), researchers are investigating the disease and options for prevention and control.

South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI) research scientist, Dr Margaret Evans, says studies into the condition will be enhanced with the assistance of growers who can supply samples of suspected white grain and location details.

“This will help us to not only map the geographical spread of the disease, but will also ensure we understand which fungal species are causing the problem in South Australia,” Dr Evans said.

“Although Fusarium head scab, which results in ‘tombstone grain’, is not implicated in causing white grain in South Australia we do need to be

LEFT: Grain severely affected by white grain is very light grey to white (and sometimes pinched) when compared with normal grain.

Stubble symptoms of white grain infection include “scabby” nodes which have black, slightly raised structures on them.

White grain was first identified in SA and Victoria in harvested grain in 2010 when some deliveries were rejected based on visual assessment. A larger number of loads were rejected during the 2011 harvest.

Dr Evans, whose research into cereal diseases is supported by growers and the Australian government through GRDC, said wet conditions over the past two seasons almost certainly promoted the high level of infection.

While little is known about the

white grain pathogens, current cultivars all appear susceptible to the disease, but some variation may exist and this is being investigated in field trials, funded by GRDC and the SA Grain Industry Trust (SAGIT).

Fungicide trials are also being repeated on SA’s Eyre Peninsula this year. There are no fungicides approved for control of the white grain pathogens.

The white grain fungi survive in infected cereal residues. Although only wheat has shown white grain symptoms in SA, barley residues are known to host the fungi and contrib-

ute to inoculum. Laboratory testing is needed for positive identification.

Dr Evans said it was likely spores of the fungi were dispersed by rainsplash as well as being wind-blown.

“Spore dispersal patterns are unknown and are currently under investigation, with wind spore traps being set up at Buckleboo on Eyre Peninsula.”

Dr Evans said it was important for growers to check a number of heads from different areas in a paddock as infection levels may be very low and still cause rejection of loads. Infected plants are often patchily distributed.

“Usually only some grains in a head will be affected. Severely affected grain is very light grey to white (and sometimes pinched) when compared with normal grain. Less severe symptoms can be difficult to detect as infected grains can look similar in size and colour to normal grain. The germ of infected grain is often shrivelled and just a shell.”

Dr Evans says white grains will not germinate and germination may be reduced in affected grains which do not show severe symptoms. This is an important consideration for growers retaining seed for sowing next season. Seed should be tested just prior to sowing.

Dr Evans suggests where infection in paddocks can be identified by plant symptoms, growers should be selective about which areas of crop they harvest to keep loads below minimum threshold levels at receival.

For more information or to report infected plants, contact Dr Marg Evans on (08) 8303 9379 or email marg.evans@sa.gov.au, or Dr Hugh Wallwork on (08) 8303 9382 or email hugh.wallwork@sa.gov.au.

SPORT v Bowls

Balaklava holds top spot • From back page Peter Furst (M) led the way with a four shot win over Cris Donohue (HB), while Ian Stuart (M) defeated Karl Gardner (HB) by eight shots.

John Bubner’s (HB) rink had other ideas, though, and walked away 49-3 victors over Brian Smith (M), giving Hamley Bridge an overall 35 shot win.

The final match saw Balaklava defeat Wasleys by 32 shots. Trevor Clifford (B) beat Olive (W) by 10 shots, Steve Hawke (B) comfortably won by 15 shots against Wayne Grady (W) while Peter Thompson (B) was seven shots up over Denis McQuade (W).

Owen had the bye for round four.

This week With the completion of the round, Balaklava holds a comfortable 16 point lead over Port Wakefield, with Hamley Bridge third, a further four points behind. A spread of four points separates the remaining four sides.

Round five will be an interesting round, with Balaklava sitting on the sidelines watching the action across the Division.

Owen hosts Mallala this weekend, in what could be a very even contest. While

both sides have had only one win for the season so far, they have nevertheless been competitive in all of their previous matches.

As indicated, this match should go down to the wire, with maybe home green advantage proving to be the eventual deciding factor.

Match two sees Hamley Bridge against Riverton in what is an intriguing match-up.

Despite Hamley Bridge being in a rebuilding phase, the side has pulled off two wins and now currently occupies third spot.

On the other hand, Riverton has yet to field a settled combination and so far has not performed on the green as well as expected.

So, which of these sides will be victorious this weekend? On paper, it should be Riverton, given Hamley Bridge’s situation, but it is just as likely that the ‘new’ Hamley Bridge could take the points and add to Riverton’s woes.

The final match sees Port Wakefield play Wasleys. At the moment, Port Wakefield’s home performance has been disappointing with two losses, so far, with their only wins being in away matches.

Meanwhile, Wasleys has had two losses

after their opening win for the season.

While Port Wakefield is favoured to win this match it can no longer afford to lose another home match. On its day, though, Wasleys is just likely to cause an upset against one of the more favoured sides.

Wakefield Blue sole survivor

TRISH Gates, Riverton Black, about to send her bowl down in Saturday’s Division Two match.

Following the completion of the latest round of Division Two matches, Port Wakefield Blue remains the only undefeated side remaining in this competition.

This scenario suggests that many of the Division Two sides are fairly even in playing strength, with any side capable of winning on any given day.

Port Wakefield Blue retained their top spot courtesy of a 12 shot win over Hamley White with two rinks up.

Peter Baum (PWB) had a six shot win over Reto Gasser (HW), Steve Reimers (PWB) a comfortable 29 shot up result against Mick Nichols (HW), whereas Wedding (HW) secured a good 23 shot victory over Terry Cluse (PWB).

While Balaklava Red still remains in second spot, its unbeaten run was ended by Tarlee White.

For Tarlee White, John Perry had a strong win against Brenda Philp (BR) while Trevor Wright (TW) accounted for Chris Cowan (BR) by 11 shots. Balaklava Red’s only points were courtesy of Peter McPharlin’s 10 shot win over Frank Gorey (TW).

Balaklava Red will host Hamley White where home green advantage will clearly favour the Red side and help them remain in second spot.

Another feature match sees Mallala White and Tarlee White front each other, with local green knowledge likely to favour the Mallala White side.

In other matches, likely winners are Riverton Black, Balaklava White, Balaklava Blue and Mallala Black.

Owen has the bye.

BEN chats with locals in Papua New Guinea.

Rugby takes Ben to Papua New Guinea • From back page “It was a great experience, they’re very fanatical over there,” he said.

“I played reasonably well, I made a few good runs and just enjoyed it.

“It was a great opportunity, so I was so glad to get it.”

Howard, who plays prop, in the front row, said he grew up playing Aussie rules but was selected in the state team following some school carnivals in 2008.

He said his natural

body frame suited the league code a little better.

Along with the NSW honours, Howard has also won the South Australian Rugby League Under 16 Junior Player of the Year award.

As a Melbourne Storm fan, Howard hoped to eventually don a NRL jersey, preferably in the deep purple of the Storm.

“I’ll just try as hard as I can over the next few years and see if rugby can take me anywhere in the future,” he said.

Plains Producer, Wednesday October 31, 2012

ABOVE: Callum Michael, Balaklava Green, plays a forehand during Saturday’s Lower North Juniors tennis match against Long Plains, while Nick Curnow (right) runs into the net.

New coach for Eagles • From back page “The position came up and they approached me about it,” he said.

“I had heard a lot about the club over the years and regardless of where they finished this year, their club culture is one of success.”

The Eagles finished bottom this year, with only two wins, a result Cluse is keen to reverse in 2013.

“We’ll be really looking to build up our on-ball unit,” he said.

He considered an elite on-ball unit pivotal to being competitive and winning premierships in all levels of football, but even more so at country level.

“We have five or six players in mind and we’ll be setting up meetings with those players soon,” Cluse said.

Recruiting has already received a significant boost, after retired WoodvilleWest Torrens champion, Justin Cicollela, confirmed he will be playing with his former junior club next year.

With experience in both junior and senior coaching, Cluse believes it has helped his ability to relate and communicate with both young and older players.

“It is probably easier to teach kids than the more experienced players, who are more or less stuck in their ways,” he said.

After injury and fitness plagued the Eagles’ senior squad last season, Cluse is keen to give his new club every possible chance of redemption leading into round one.

“There will be a solid preseason coming up,” he hinted.

“The fitter you are, the luckier you get, that’s my belief.”

HWE president, Tim Moulds, said the club was pleased with Cluse’s appointment.

“He spoke very well and a couple of people had also heard him speak to his team at this year’s Landmark Cup,” Moulds said.

“He sounded quite keen and we really needed someone who was hard on fitness.

“It is probably a change as well, having someone from outside the club, and he can bring players or knows players from elsewhere.

Preseason will start in January and the club is hosting a ‘Meet the Coach’ function on November 11.

“I’ll definitely be looking for improvement next year and with improvement, comes good results,” Cluse said.

Balaklava – Bye.

Golf Balaklava

Thirty-four flustered flailers fronted last Saturday for our Stroke round, with all players required to blast off from the dreaded “tiger” tees. The A Graders could just look on lugubriously as Bill Lokan leapt atop the podium with 80/69, while mighty Merv Hameister (81/71) made it into second place and Ian Michael (83/73) claimed third. Left to mill about were R Lawson (85/74), M Loy (85/75), B Fitton (88/76), C Michael (90/79), D Taylor (91/79) and great big D Hannaford (86/80).

Wayne Nagle (83/69) led the B Grade back to base, Bill Berry (90/73) kept in step for second spot and Murray “Smudger” Smith (89/74) marched home in third. No such glory however for S Michael (94/79), D Rodgers (99/80), J Michael (102/82), A Leaver (99/83), Norma Taylor (102/84) and Tania Matz (108/88).

A mainly hirsute hoard of hairy heroes comprised the colossal C Grade collection, which was crushed comprehensively by “Mr Mallala”, Greg Sonntag (88/67), while Jill Taylor (97/72) she surged into second place, leaving the peripatetic Mike Hahesy (101/74) to tour into third. Stretching to the horizon ranged the humbled, namely Scott Davey (99/75), D Barnett (99/75), Chris Hahesy (102/75), Joan Anderson (98/76), L Masson (103/78), M Bell (109/78), M Smith (107/80), M Keast (106/81), Louise Michael (103/82), D Trickett (104/82), M Liptrot (109/82), N Barnett (127/87) and G Ince, who recorded a DNF. As Don Hannaford returned from the car park, he declared “Nunc est bibendum!” and headed indoors, looking very determined.

It was all happening on the eighth, with no less than Murray Smith, Scott Michael and Malcolm “Boneless Mutton” Keast all claiming Birdies, leaving Rob Lawson to snag one at the 15th. Nearest The Pins were held by Joan Anderson (third), Andrew Leaver (eighth), Murray Smith, both on the 10th and 15th, do you mind, then Dave Rodgers (second). Golfer of the Summer points were thus awarded to Greg Sonntag (6), Bill Lokan (5), Wayne Nagle (4), Merv. Hameister (3), Bill Berry (2) and all others, one each.

This Saturday we’ll have a go at another Stroke stoush, our starter to be none other than big, booming Barrie Thompson, with the urbane Greg Anderson down to provide cultural contrast later at the hallowed 19th.

Family Fun Day •Don’t forget the big family day at the golf club from 4pm this Saturday.

A joint fund raiser for the club and the Shamus Liptrot Cycle Trail. Plenty to eat and drink and lots of fun and games for mum,dad and the kids.

You can also get up close to an Australian cycling Olympic medallist and hear them chat about their careers at the club from about 6.30pm for a $10 donation (concession and students $5; primary age - free).

Be there! It will be a bigger hit than an Austin Henstridge drive from the first tee.

SPORT v District BLYTH Wanderer, Sarah Richards, dodges around Bulldogs’ Maddi Cruse in the Women’s Division B competition.

HOPEFULS’ Paul McIntyre and Jonathan Jenkins are there to grab the rebound, hindered by Clinton Jenkin, Long Plains, in the Men’s competition.

Association Championships nearing I hear the Adelaide Plains Basketball Association is gearing up early for the Association Championships – a training session was held on Sunday.

If memory serves me well, most teams did very well last year with Carolyn Michael’s Under 16 girls winning the Championships, and the boys coming runners-up, so I would expect teams to do well this year!

I managed to sit on a few benches this week.

The one game I really wanted to check out was the new Blyth teams. The A Grade Blyth Wander-

ers, against the Bulldogs, was a great game.

The one thing that I took away was how disciplined the girls with their passes, which were direct and hard, they back each other up when bringing the ball down with two on one, and they came to play. Player number nine was a standout for me.

Sarah Young, for Bulldogs, just kept attacking and fighting for the ball.

Long Plains AWomen are quietly getting on with playing and winning basketball. They won against the Cats on Friday night.

looking at sending one, if not two, women’s teams to Adelaide in the senior Championships.

Bench Warmer’s Tip of the Week: Build your upper strength by walking around the yard with the ball above your head to build upper strength.

I see the Old Dogs have brought back Michael Olsen and Grant Wilmer – both of which look like they never left.

Harrison Veitch shot 10 points for the Peckers, who won against the Rapters.

Long Plains defeated the Hopefuls by only 13 points. I would have picked a greater margin.

Something tells me the Hopefuls have been out training.

The Eagles had a good win over the Tigers, with Brandon Taylor top scoring – he is another player who played in two games on Friday night.

In the B Women, Balaklava have come back after a couple of losses to win against Long Plains.

Young Brittany Koch played well and top scored. However, I think the return of Julie Krieg and Charmaine Barlow also helped.

In the Under 17 boys, Owen got up over the Titans, but from what I saw of this game, young Titan Tyson Temby was not afraid to get in and fight for the ball against these bigger lads.

This Under 17 competition must be of concern to the association. Maybe the Owen lads can help make up a three-division competition in the senior grade?

Dawson Page top scored again for Longies in the Under 14 boys, who defeated the Ravers.

In the Under 16 Girls, Aleisha Michael top scored for the Cannons against the Bulldogs.

Tayla Williams also top scored for Bulldogs, against the Wild Cats, with Sarah Heaslip playing well.

I’m told those playing in the last game are responsible for packing up, yet I continue to see the same people doing the work. Perhaps points need to be taken from teams that don’t help.

See you next week when basketball starts to get warmer!

Ray Bennett, former umpires co-ordinator, will be seen regularly on the court this season, playing for the Long Plains Hopefuls.

Goodies galore at Roosters auction Two Wells Football and Netball Sporting Club will stage its last auction for this year on Sunday November 4.

A range of goods will be up for grabs including, bikes, toys, machinery, furniture and much more. Goods can be received from 6am, with the auction to commence at 10am.

The club will also hold its annual general meeting this month. All players and members are invited to attend the meeting on Tuesday November 13 at 7.30pm.

The netball committee is especially looking for new members, so if you would love to be part of a great club and get to know some new people, why not head along to the AGM and find out what its all about?

Champion by name… and by nature!

Study grant for Felyka Kapunda High School Year 12 student, Felyka Gauci, was one of ten young SA volunteers to receive a study grant under the Youth Volunteer Scholarship Awards.

Felyka is co-ordinator of Coat of Arms Community Enclosure Group, a group responsible for looking after animals in the town’s animal enclosure at the Dutton Park entrance.

The aim of the group is to improve the enclosure to benefit the animals, and in so doing, put Kapunda on the map as a tourist destination.

Felyka received $1000 towards study of a Diploma of Animal Technology at Tafe SA. Awards are designed to encourage more young people to become volunteers.

Scholarship applicants were assessed on their history of community involvement, current volunteer participation and continued motivation for volunteering.

Banning breeds not the answer THE Australian Veterinary Association (AVA) says adopting more stringent breed-specific legislation in South Australia will not reduce the risk of attacks by aggressive dogs. Following the most recent attack on a dog by another dog at Flinders Park, there have been calls for more breeds to be included in a list of prescribed dog breeds in South Australia deemed to be dangerous.

AVA South Australian President, Dr Philip Stott said that assessing dangerous dogs by breed alone will fail to prevent dog bites.

“We sympathise with the owner who lost her precious companion as a result of this unfortunate incident, and we believe that dogs that have shown aggressive behaviour should be regulated strongly.

“But you can’t tell whether a dog is dangerous just by looking at it, or even by its breed.

“We believe that keeping the public safe from dog bites is very important and requires a coordinated approach involving management of the dogs and education of humans.

“We recommend enforcement of registration and other regulations, early socialisation and training of puppies, owner education and public awareness campaigns and adult supervision of children around all dogs as a much more effective option,” Dr Stott said.

Halbury is a long way from Tibet, but Wayne and Suzanne McCreight’s Tibetan spaniels don’t seem to mind.

They have been breeding and showing Tibetan spaniels since 2006.

McCreights had success at this year’s Royal Adelaide Show (RAS), winning Best of Breed with their three year old adult male, “Champion Barrajy Turning up the Heat.”

They also won this award in 2007.

“We also entered pups, aged between six to 12 months, at the show,” said Suzanne.

“We won Puppy Dog and came second in Puppy Bitch classes.”

They have won Puppy of Breed three out of five times entered at RAS in 2007, 2008 and 2011.

Tibetan spaniels are assertive, small and intelligent dogs originating in the Himalyan mountains of Tibet, thus their name.

Tibetan spaniels have personality and are good with children.

Since 1992, McCreights have also bred, and still show, Cavalier King Charles spaniels.

If you’d like any information about Tibetan spaniels, phone Wayne or Suzanne on 8863 1247.

Bagshaw – a pioneer machinery maker Heritage Highlights

The name Bagshaw is usually coupled with the name Horwood, but they started off as two completely separate companies.

John Stokes Bagshaw was born

by Norma Schopp in Chetwynd, Shropshire, England, in 1808 and, while still in his teens, was apprenticed to a millwright wasn’t long before farmers sought and engineer. He married in 1836 help from this ingenious man.

John Bagshaw made implements and then decided to emigrate to Australia, arriving in South Australia to suit the farmers’ needs. He is aboard the ‘Eden’ on June 24, 1838. credited with making the first water, Bagshaw first settled south of wind and steam mills in the colony Adelaide and helped build flour and also SA’s first locally made winmills at Noarlunga, Port Noarlunga nowing machine. Crude as it was, and Encounter Bay. He then set it worked and the winnower was up his millwright and engineering marketed under the “Champion” workshop in a mud and straw shop brand name; with refinements and in Elizabeth Street, Adelaide, in modifications as better materials 1838, which he named the “Pioneer became available. Other Bagshaw Works.” This was only two years after products included chaff cutters, the colony’s first settlers arrived so grain threshers, horse-works and mathere weren’t many “secondary” chinery for flour mills and wineries.

Stripper, which was to become one of Australia’s most famous agricultural implements.

In 1853 a son, John Augustus, joined his father in the business and some years later, another son, Thomas Henry, joined as well, the company now being known as J S Bagshaw & Sons Ltd. Pioneer Works.

J S Bagshaw maintained an active interest in the business until just before his death in 1888, aged 80. John Augustus Bagshaw then became president and the business continued to prosper.

In the early 1900s they began making stationary engines which were used to drive large wheat cleaning machinery, as well as patenting and manufacturing machinery for cleaning, grinding and grading wheat, grading machines for currants and raisins, and other machines. Quality was their trademark, evidenced by the many prizes

7

J.S. Bagshaw trademark gained at agricultural shows in SA, Victoria, NSW and WA. The founder’s motto, “If worth doing, do it well” was later registered as the company’s trade mark.

In 1910 Bagshaw & Sons moved to one of the most complete factories of its kind anywhere in Australia – on 12 acres of land at Mile End. In 1924 the company of J S Bagshaw & Sons was purchased outright

by J H Horwood & Co. The merged company of Horwood Bagshaw Ltd. had its headquarters on the Mile End site.

Visit Balaklava Museum to see some examples of early Bagshow machinery.

dancer, Mouse, and Mouse’s older brother.

The clip is the follow up to Rudimental’s ground-breaking LA Shorts Festival-winning and MOBO-nominated video for single, “Feel The Love”, which has now reached triple platinum sales in Australia.

“Not Giving In” premiered as Hottest Record in the World on Zane Lowe’s BBC Radio One show this week, with Zane describing it as a song that “comes in and gives you the soul and then smacks you on the floor… dancefloor banger”.

Rudimental and the collective of singers and players that surround them have had a busy summer in the studio writing and recording and on the road playing some of Europe’s biggest festivals in addition to shows with Ed Sheeran at the iTunes festival, Example at Majorca Rocks and Mark Ronson

and Zane Lowe at Ibiza Rocks.

A few months ago, punk band Yellowcard released its eighth album, although few fans would be aware of their earlier work before the release of “Ocean Avenue” in 2005.

Listening through the track listing, it’s trademark Yellowcard stuff. Upbeat palm-muted punk riffs, quick punchy lyrics breaking into heavier distorted guitars in the chorus and of course, the violin, are all major ingredients in the album, “Southern Air”.

Yellowcard’s new album had me searching back through some of the gold the band previously produced, songs like “Ocean Avenue”, “Lights and Sounds” and my personal favourite, “Only One”.

Check out “Southern Air” for some good summer listening.

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

Ben’s Papua New Guinea experience DAVID Cluse celebrates with the North Eastern Football League’s Under 17 side, after winning the 2010 premiership.

Cluse will fire up the Eagles REPORT: Les Pearson IF his reputation is anything to go by, HummocksWatchman Eagles’ new A grade coach, David Cluse, will ensure his players are fit and firing come round one of the 2013 season.

Cluse, a senior physical education teacher, took on a role as strength, conditioning and fitness coach for the Woodville-West Torrens Eagles under 16 team this year.

Hailing from Eudunda, he had four years experience guiding the Eudunda-Robertstown A grade team, both as assistant and senior coach, and spent two years coaching the club’s under 17s.

Cluse coached the North Eastern Football League team for the last three seasons in the Landmark Cup. “It was good to coach that group of players at a higher level,” he said.

“To see how other top notch players from other clubs go about it was also great.”

When contacted by HWE, Cluse, who was looking for a club nearby to coach, was keen to take the opportunity. n Continued page 21

The 16-year-old South Australian, who plays for the Eels Rugby League Club based at Dry Creek, was selected for the NSW team after attending two training academies earlier this year.

The following from the local league-crazed fans provided memories Howard will treasure for a long time to come. n Continued page 21

Wakefield upsets Riverton Perfect conditions greeted bowlers for round four of the Wooroora Men’s bowling season, and surprise results were once again recorded in a number of matches.

In Division One, Port Wakefield upset Riverton in a match played at Riverton.

Port Wakefield were at an immediate disadvantage going into the match, with skipper Will McPharlin away representing the State in the National Champion of Champions Singles Championships, currently being held in Queanbeyan.

However, a two rink up win in their favour was the eventual result, with Owen Eglinton (PW) accounting for Barry Mullins (R) to the

John Glistak WMBA secretary

tune of 36-12 while Murphy (PW) narrowly defeated Mark Griffiths (R) by four shots.

Riverton’s only rink win went to Neil Rogers, who finished three shots up over Greg McPharlin (PW).

The other surprising result was Hamley Bridge’s defeat of Mallala, at Mallala. Normally with two rinks up, a side would be confident of winning overall. n Continued page 19
