Mallala mayor switch Kennington wins close 6-5 vote over Strudwicke Bec O’Brien reports In a close vote, Lewiston councillor Duncan Kennington has been elected by his fellow councillors as the District Council of Mallala’s new mayor.

At the council’s meeting on Monday night, there was much tension and some confusion as councillors voted in Cr Kennington and a new deputy mayor, Two Wells councillor, Mark Wasley.

Amidst a tense atmosphere, Cr Kennington was nominated for the mayoral position by Cr Tom Summerton,

with incumbent mayor, Marcus Strudwicke, inset, nominating himself.

The meeting was adjourned part way through proceedings while CEO Charles Mansueto – who was acting in the chairperson’s role – left the room to confer with council’s lawyers.

The CEO was seeking clarification on item 2.4 in the LGA’s guidelines for electing a chairperson, after Cr Strudwicke raised concerns about a conflict of interest by Cr Kennington. n Continued Page 2

November’s KESAB service award went to Balaklava’s dentist, Dr Robert Bickmore, who is pictured with assistant, Sam Stevenson, and patient, Kieran Swan.

Kennington aims to be voice for lifestyle Bec O’Brien reports: New District Council of Mallala mayor, Duncan Kennington, believes the district needs to focus on quality of lifestyle and factor this into any new developments for the area.

Mr Kennington was elected mayor by his fellow councillors at the November meeting after being asked to stand

by Lewiston councillor Anne Picard.

He won the vote 6-5 from previous mayor, Marcus Strudwicke.

“My vision is about lifestyle,” Mr Kennington said.

“I want to know everybody is enjoying the lifestyle they want to enjoy and I would hope that every decision starts with lifestyle and then goes from there.

“We’ve got a few big developments on the go at the moment and I would hope that we consider lifestyle first.”

Mr Kennington said ensuring residents had a voice and were the focus of council decisions was also a priority as mayor and he was looking forward to working with members of the community in the role of enabler.

“My focus is that I’m working for the residents,” he said.

NEWLY-elected deputy mayor, Mark Wasley, congratulates Mayor Duncan Kennington.

“I want to be resident focused (and) He was excited about having the reit’s enabling the community to achieve. sponsibility of representing the people “The focus isn’t me it’s them and of the district, and saw the diversity I’m there as an enabler.” of talents of its residents as inspiring.

Mr Kennington said the past 12 “We’ve got a lot of great people and months in the role as deputy mayor had the thought of networking and working been very useful and had helped him with them is a pretty exciting thing to build skills in talking with members of do,” he said. the community and chairing meetings.

Planning for and keeping on top

of important issues such as flooding, and particularly in the Lewiston area, fire, as well as protecting residents in coastal areas from rising sea waters due to global warming, were also things the new mayor said he hoped to focus on.

“We have to make sure we get things in place to protect people,” he said.

“We have to have the processes and the culture in place so that when issues come up we have the cultures in place and the democratic processes in place to deal with them.

“If we make sure we get the culture right and the processes right and the democratic right we’ll be in a position to deal with them.”

“I was asked to stand as mayor by Ann (Picard), and a couple of others asked me to consider it, and I did consider it,” Mr Kennington said.

“I have a busy life and I didn’t want to do it amateurishly.

“I was quietly confident; being a mathematician I can add up to six.”

“I see it as a responsibility and I’m excited about having that responsibility.

“The people I’ve met in this community are so great and so talented.”

Disfunction ‘distraction’ Former mayor and Mallala councillor, Marcus Strudwicke, who was narrowly beaten for the mayoral position at Monday night’s DCM meeting, has spoken about his disappointment at not being re-elected.

Mr Strudwicke spoke openly about his concerns for council in the transition period of having a new mayor, saying he hoped the progress and direction of council would continue under the guidance of Duncan Kennington.

“Obviously I was disappointed,” he said.

“I believe I’m the best person for the job otherwise I wouldn’t have put my hand up but the councillors have voted.

2 www.plainsproducer.com.au

Emphasising he was speaking personally, not from council’s perspective, he said: “My main concern (now) is the continuity of the council agenda we’ve been on for the past three years.

“It has been about continuity in terms of strategic direction and governance.

“I think that direction, and the projects that we’ve got in the pipeline, I would hope they would proceed without too much disruption through the change of position.”

Mr Strudwicke wished Mr Kennington all the best in his new role but pointed out there was some “catch-up” needed whenever a new person took

on a leadership role. He hoped networks and relationships established with other councils and government ministers during his tenure as mayor would continue to prosper.

“There’s catch-up for the person new in the role to establish networks with other councils and ministers,” Mr Strudwicke said.

“That’s one of the difficulties in electing the person on a 12-month basis, you really miss out in having that chance to establish networks, which can take time to develop.

“In the majority of councils the community elects the mayor and I’m a firm supporter of this, I think it’s a much more demo-

cratic process.” Mr Strudwicke suggested his stance on addressing “disfunction” amongst councillors could have led to his demise as mayor.

“There’s obviously been some reporting of the council and its issues with disfunctionality over the last 12 months and this has been distracting for council,” he said. “I put some effort in to address this disfunction and it’s inevitable some councillors were upset by this.”

Mr Strudwicke said he hoped to continue to represent the community in his role as Mallala councillor and hasn’t ruled out challenging the mayoral position next year.

Review of structure District Council of Mallala is currently conducting a review of its electoral make-up, with independent analysis suggesting a number of key points.

DCM chief executive officer, Charles Mansueto, said council’s Elector Representation Review was looking at options for council’s future structure and community feedback on a recent report had now closed.

Council received four submissions in the first stage of the community consultation process, Mr Mansueto said, and following analysis of the feedback by consultants CL Rowe and Associates, three important suggestions had been put forward.

These include the mayor being elected by the community for a four-year term, currently this position is for 12 months and is decided by councillors; the council scrapping wards and electing “area councillors”; and reducing the number of councillors to nine, plus the mayor.

The suggestions were set to be discussed at council’s November meeting on Monday night but a decision was deferred until next month while the CEO sourced legal clarification.

6-5 vote to change

• From Page 1 Council’s elected members vote each year to choose a mayor (formerly chairman), unlike most councils where the mayor faces a community election. This process is now under review.

On his return, Mr Mansueto informed councillors the lawyer advised there was no conflict of interest and councillors then voted. Cr Kennington won with 6-5 vote.

Councillors who supported Cr Kennington included Terry Keen, Anne Picard, Steve Jones, Tom Summerton, and Joe Daniele. Those in support of Mallala councillor Marcus Strudwicke were Mark Wasley, Karen McColl, Yvonne Howard and Jan Heley.

Cr Kennington comes to the 12-month position of mayor after a year in the deputy position and thanked his fellow councillors for giving him the responsibility.

Cr Kennington said he was looking forward to the challenges of the next year. He replaces Cr Strudwicke, who had been the unopposed mayor since November, 2009 – his second term as mayor.

Nice to see her, but Dr Tee is leaving It might be a far cry from busy Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, but the challenge of practicing medicine in rural Balaklava suits Doctor Lien Tee to a “T”.

Dr Tee moved to Melbourne at the age of 17 to complete her Year 12 studies. She then attended Monash University for a five year medicine course.

Then it was on to Adelaide to continue training and work, and in August 2011, she moved to Balaklava, where she is currently working as a GP at Wakefield Plains Medical Centre.

Before moving to Balaklava, Dr Tee worked in palliative care for six months at Royal Adelaide Hospital and Mary Potter Hospice.

“I initially wanted to challenge myself to start palliative care, as death and bad news had always been difficult for me before,” said Dr Tee. “I was exposed to death nearly on a daily basis for those six months, so I now feel more confident in managing the issues that come with death. It’s no longer a fear to me but in fact, a very fulfilling experience.”

From one extreme to the other, Dr Tee also has obstetric shared care qualifications for antenatal/pregnant ladies.

“Obviously this is 100 per cent opposite from palliative care, but for me, all births are like celebrations, and it’s nice for people to come and see a doctor for babies/pregnancy check-ups, rather than being sick,” she said.

On September 29, Dr Tee, who made a stunning bride, married Dr Daryl Ooi, in his hometown of Penang island, Malaysia.

They had a traditional tea ceremony and evening reception at Equitorial Hotel.

Daryl is currently undertaking physician training in Adelaide, so with their studies, exams and workloads, the pair are often like ships in the night. Dr Tee resides in Adelaide, but travelling to Balaklava for work has been manageable.

“Being apart has its positives, as Daryl

Louise Michael reports: and I have the chance to catch up on exam preparations and studies,” said Dr Tee. Dr Tee likes to be a role model for patients too, by keeping healthy and fit.

But she does enjoy eating, and of course, like all good women, loves retail therapy!

“I’m really glad I got the chance to experience the challenge and excitement

of practicing rural medicine,” said Dr Tee. “I’d thoroughly recommend rural medicine to other doctors, as even if they don’t end up practicing in rural areas, they would’ve experienced the difference of rural versus metropolitan medicine.”

Dr Tee’s tenure at Balaklava finishes in early February 2013, and she will return to Adelaide and have a break from work to spend time with her husband and family. DR Lien Tee with her husband, Dr Daryl Ooi, married on Penang island, Malaysia.

‘Princess’ Paige lives a teen dream CROWNED by locals as a princess following her stunning showing in the Miss Teen Australia finals earlier this month, Wasleys beauty, Paige Cooley, has drive and ambition that goes beyond skin-deep.

The 16-year-old finished a close runner up at the nationwide competition, held over four days at Fiji’s Voli Voli Beach Resort.

She was the youngest competitor in the first competition she had ever entered.

“It was just a random thing mum found and we said we’d give it a go, as I was a rookie at that stage,” Paige said.

The four-day event was actionpacked for the finalists, which in-

cluded several shoots at a range of wonderful sites.

Although the runner up is not usually contracted to an agency, Paige was signed up soon after.

“Because I took out three of the six titles, it compared the winner and I at the same level, so I got signed with Adpro Management Group in Sydney, which was great,” she said.

The reception on her return was also heart-warming, with many locals flocking to a surprise party at the Ridley Arms Hotel, in Wasleys, which her parents own.

“I went downstairs and all the locals were there, they were clapping for me, passing on their congratulations

The next 12 months or so will get even busier as the local student dives headfirst into year 12, which she studies independently through Open Access. Paige was undaunted about the busy schedule.

“I am very good with juggling things and keeping a good balance, because I’m also studying my Certificate III in Childcare and I work at a childcare centre at Angle Vale, so it’s a bit crazy,” she said.

“My goal is to get to university and study psychology for children, because I am good with kids.”

She thanked the Voli Voli Beach Resort for hosting the competition, and, of course, her parents.

and calling me a princess, it was fun,” Paige laughed. But growing up in the hotel had its pros and cons.

“It’s both great and terrible at the same time,” Paige said.

“If I want to go to bed early, sometimes I can’t because the karaoke is pumping, but it’s also great because you get to know everyone as it’s such a small community and they all gather at the pub, so I know pretty much everyone who lives in Wasleys.”

She loves her home town and was proud to be part of the small community.

2013 looms as a huge year, according her agency, which will include the World Supermodel Competition.

Church seeks support for $16m project

•From page 1 Mr May was unavailable for comment, but Balco director, Geoff Spence, said the decision was made because the Church of Christ application was such an important development for the local community.

“They have our strong support for the proposal,

and we wish them every success with their application because of its potential benefit to the district,” Mr Spence said.

The support of council is needed as WRC acts as the lead organisation, which would be the recipient of the grant funding and deliver on the milestones and outcomes

agreed under contracts with the relevant government departments.

The Balaklava Church of Christ proposal would include a new childcare centre, church and community space, low-cost furniture, clothing and bric-a-brac store and an emergency relief centre.

Congregation elder,

Mark Greenshields, said the church voted in favour of submitting the application on Sunday.

“We’re excited about the concept as we see it as filling a need in the region in participation with other groups in Balaklava,” he said.

“We see a need in the local community and be-

ing a community of faith, we have hope that we can make a difference.

“We’re looking forward to council’s decision and we would also be looking to enlist the support of the local community behind the project.”

Balaklava Church of Christ has had an ex-

Preparing for parade Two Wel ls Ch ri st m as more music, more stalls, more fun

The annual Two Wells Christmas Street Parade is only a few short weeks away and preparations are coming together.

On hand to serve the ever-popular fruit salad and ice-cream will be these three Two Wells lads (pictured) as they seek to raise funds in support of a skate park in the town.

Two Wells Regional Action Team vice president, and event organiser, Bev Smith-Trim, said the December 14 night was shaping up to be a lot of fun, with at least five new stall holders and two concert bands taking part.

A Channel 7 personality would also attend the event, Mrs Smith-Trim said, along with the SES mascot, Paddy the Platypus (pictured).

And of course there will be a range of stalls with everything on offer from jewellery and mag-

tensive history of community development in the district.

Pastor Colin Smith was the instigator behind constructing the Mill Court aged care facility way back in the 1960s.

The church was a strong supporter of the affordable housing cottages on Gwy Terrace, built in 1998.

Pastor Grant Spangenberg also had a huge role in formulating the Hayfield Plains development at the turn of the millennium.

The Balaklava Swap Shop is another Church of Christ initiative, while local junior sport was spawned from a church competition held on Saturdays.

Most recently, the church also instigated the construction of Horizon Christian School, which actually started at the Church of Christ building, with 27 stu-

dents enrolled on its first day.

Mr Greenshields said the latest proposal had far-reaching benefits.

“We’re looking to go to the next level with this project, which is about servicing the needs of the entire region.”

Council will also decide on endorsing an EOI from the Balaklava Area Committee, seeking $200,000 from round three of the RDAF to extend the Shamus Liptrot Trail to Halbury.

This development would incorporate an 8.5km extension of the existing trail, which currently runs from the outskirts of Balaklava to the golf club.

The extension would also include planting and landscaping to improve the visual amenity of the trail and provide erosion control and a safety feature for the riders.

I note with interest Wakefield Regional Council at this week’s meeting will vote on a recommendation which supports an application for funding from the Federal Government which will have the objective of facilitating an extension of the Shamus Liptrot cycling trail from Balaklava Golf Club to Halbury.

It is often asserted councils ignore the views and aspirations of their communities and it is therefore appropriate our council’s position and commitment in this case be acknowledged and commended.

There will have been few projects which so much caught the imagination and support of the broad community as did the first stage of the Shamus Liptrot trail and clearly this has been acknowledged at Officer level at Wakefield Regional Council.

On behalf of not only the Balaklava community but also the broader region we urge the Elected Members of council to extend their support to the funding application .

You might have heard Australian scientists have launched a world first – a device to solve sleep woes!

Woe, woe, woe, what is it good for? Absolutely everything, they hope.

The device, invented by sleep researchers at Flinders University, has been named “Re-Timer.”

It’s a device, worn like a pair of sunglasses, which emits soft green light onto the eyes.

Funnily, the Professor and chief inventor is named Leon Lack of Sleep, actually just Leon Lack. My humour.

Anyway, he has found green light is one of the most effective wavelengths for advancing or delaying the body clock.

Now, who would’ve ever thought of that? Just like who thought of apt word names which I wrote about a few weeks ago (remember recalcitrant?)

“Light from Re-Timer stimulates the part of the brain responsible for regulating the 24-hour body clocks,” said Professor Lack.

You can wear the glasses at different times and for different lengths depending on what your sleeping problem is.

And apparently, the glasses have been designed to be so comfortable, you can wear them while you go about your regular activities at work or home.

I don’t know about you, but I think people might notice these if I wore them around, don’t you? I’d look like a big fly – Louie the fly!

Although, it couldn’t be any

worse than some other fashion accessories around.

Knowing me, I’d forget to take them off and become an insomniac.

Or I’d wear them at the wrong times and be asleep in the day! I could just become Mexican to do that! Zzzz......

If anyone has tried these, please let me know!

• And thank you to those people who let me know the movies that “set them off.”

One of note was from Adrian “Dallas” Nourse of Saddleworth, who, as a child, just loved Charlotte’s Web and Lassie. And who wouldn’t?

While his movie choices have changed now, Adrian is still a big snag!

Highway claims another two lives in grim Friday TWO fatal accidents on Port Wakefield road on Friday marked a grim start to the weekend on the state’s roads, with nine people killed.

Emergency services were first called to the scene of a fatal road crash on Port Wakefield road, near Inkerman, about 1.15pm.

A car had hit a tree about 15km south of Port Wakefield. The driver, a Port Clinton man, was the only occupant in the car and died at the scene.

Lengthy diversions were in place for both directions of traffic, with vehicles sharing the southbound carriageway around the crash site.

The second fatality came later in the afternoon on Port Wakefield Road, near Globe Derby Park.

Just before 3pm, a car hit a pedestrian, an 87-yearold man from Bolivar, as he tried to cross the road.

Castaways float our boat REVIEW: Terry Williams THOSE crazy castaways from Gilligan’s Island were transported to Balaklava Town Hall last weekend, entertaining audiences over three days.

There were lots of laughs as Gilligan and his marooned crew entertained over three episodes “on a three hour cruise” as the audience dined to a tasty threecourse meal. Many were enjoying staff Christmas parties.

The Balaklava Community Arts show was a nostalgic trip for many in the audience, as they sang along to the “Gilligan’s Island” theme from the popular TV show of decades past – but some younger members of the audience needed some clarification on the antics.

Director Kelly Bickle, who also played a sizzling role as movie star Ginger, said the show had been great fun.

And her dad’s (David Appleby) “jungle” of greenery made a great stage backdrop to the “island” setting.

The episodes – “Seer Gilligan,” High Man on a Totem Pole,” and “Beauty is as Beauty Does” – were performed between courses, with each having its own short snippets for the cast to strut their stuff.

Jonathon Jenkins portrayed Gilligan well, bumbling – and sometimes mumbling – along with his cohorts, fishing for laughs but reflecting the tenderness to others displayed by the original Gilligan (Bob Denver).

The Skipper,was, well, the Skipper, with Steve Renshaw capturing the mannerisms and waving his cap at Gilligan, as he should! Top effort Steve – we should see more of you in BAC productions, but

Ginger tries her charms on Gilligan, played by Jonathon Jenkins. you will have do something about that lady in the audience!

Anne Arbon was the perfect actor to play Lovey Howell. She can be such a toff!

Hubby Thurston Howell (veteran performer Marty Brice) strode about with booming voice and gave a performance worth a million bucks.

Gib Palmer, as the Professor, fitted the character and Kerry Takacs (Mary-Ann) was good support, unlike her bathing costume which brought some laughs of its own on Friday night!

But it was Ginger (Kelly Bickle) who

had pulses racing as she vamped it up for the crowd. She must have been worn out backstage making all those costume changes. But that’s all part of being a star!

Top effort, Kelly and the BAC crew.

Please do it again next year .

The Vicar of Dibley would be perfect – who should play Ned? And the Vicar?

Why Lisa Renshaw, of course!

• Apart from BAC, which ploughs any profits back to various local groups and projects, three other community groups benefitted from the production, through support services on the night.

ONLY three votes were recorded on the Plains Producer poll regarding harvest bans.

They were in response to the question: “Do you think other regional areas of South Australia should have harvest bans in place, enforced by local silo committees or ag bureaux, similar to what happens on Eyre Peninsula?”

All three voters voted in favour of locally enforced harvest bans. This is unlikely to be an accurate reflection of community opinion, given the tiny sample size.

That said, the lack of responses could also reflect the limited community interest on the subject, or perhaps many growers out there do not have access to Facebook, where the poll was conducted.

The poll is still open on the Plains Producer Facebook page for anyone interested in voting.

NEWS v District

Marine park fight continues Les Pearson reports: MARINE Park 14 Action Group (MPAG) has ensured the State government is more than aware of the Port Wakefield community’s position on the proposed Marine Park Sanctuary Zones.

It is widely believed by local

Premier’s office is Port Wakefield group’s latest mark commercial and recreational fishers a particular sanctuary zone, which prevents fishing of any kind north of its boundary at the top of the Gulf St Vincent, would drastically impact on both sectors and the town.

MPAG members, Jeff Sutton,

Amanda Wheeler, Colin Doherty and group chair, Bart Butson, presented the community’s zoning proposal to the Premier’s chief-of-staff, Simon Blewett, last week.

“I think they (the State government) were trying to find out from

us what they could offer to make us happier,” Mr Butson said.

“After about 10 minutes of discussions, we could see they were still a long way away from what the community wanted under the community proposal.”

HARVEST CODE DEBATE:

PICTURE: Lisa Redpath TRISH Arbon checks the Kestrel meter in a crop at Watchman.

Kestrel’s vital signs boost safety factor A POCKET-SIZED weather device could become a mandatory gadget for farmers to ensure they are abiding by the Grain Harvest Code of Conduct.

Watchman farmer, Phillip Arbon, said the Kestrel Meter provided the three vital readings of temperature, relative humidity and wind speed used to determine the fire danger rating.

His wife and number one worker, Trish Arbon, is in charge

of checking the Kestrel Meter and monitoring the weather conditions while on the chaser bin.

“We use it all the time,” Mr Arbon said.

“A lot of farmers ring me and if they see I’ve pulled up, they will stop too.

With insurance firms unlikely to pay out on fire claims when the fire starts at a time where the fire danger rating exceeds the recommended conditions under the

Grain Harvest Code of Practice, Mr Arbon said the Kestrel Meter should be a staple for all farmers.

“If it’s outside the code of practice, they’d probably have no public liability protection,” he said. “Most farmers should have them, as you use them to monitor weather while spraying as well,” he said.

The meters sell from just under $300 to around $600, depending on its optional components.

The system works: ‘No need for bans’ MALLALA farmer, Neil Tiller, claims there is no need for locally enforced harvest bans as the Mallala Ag Bureau already has a system in place to let farmers know when weather conditions are too dangerous for harvest.

This was in response to last week’s article (Plains Producer, Pages 1 and 3), which revealed how silo committees on Eastern Eyre Peninsula declare harvest bans on days where the Fire Danger Rating gets high.

Farmers are notified of the harvest ban when they call a specified phone number, which has a voice message recorded indicating either way, while word of mouth also tends to spread fairly quickly.

Under the Grain Harvesting

Code of Practice, growers are supposed to stop reaping once wind reaches a certain speed, on a sliding scale depending on the temperature and relative humidity.

These factors also produce a rating on the Fire Danger Index (FDI).

Mr Tiller said the Mallala Ag Bureau had a similar “unwritten system” in place to notify local growers when weather conditions are too dangerous for reaping.

Armed with the right technology to identify the relevant weather factors, farmers from around the district will contact him, as well as others, to ascertain if conditions are safe enough to reap, if there is any doubt.

“We are doing the right thing

Plains Producer, Wednesday November 28, 2012

here and guys are pulling up,” Mr Tiller said.

Mr Tiller said the current system appeared to work well, although a text message service alerting growers of dangerous local weather conditions would be a great innovation.

He believed the words “harvest ban” gives the wrong impression to the public and the code of practice had been sufficient to date.

Generally, the decision to halt harvesting is spread through farmers in nearby areas communicating with each other without advice from specific groups – but anectodal reports indicate the decision to stop remained voluntary.

“When the neighbour stops, you stop,” said one local farmer.

Mr Sutton said: “I’m sure we got the message across but whether anything is done is another matter,” Mr Butson believed the biggest benefit of the meeting was the State government at its highest levels was aware of the community’s stance on the Marine Park Sanctuary Zones, after the MPAG met with Premier, Jay Weatherill, only a few weeks before.

“I don’t think they will do enough, that’s my feeling, but it was good to at least put across that we were really at odds and our belief of the big damage it will do to our community, to the highest levels we could get,” Mr Butson said.

“We let (Mr Blewett) know we proposed to keep campaigning for our community until the next election if the government was prepared to go ahead with its current proposal.”

Mr Sutton was a little more optimistic of getting the proposal changed.

“It’s hard to put my finger on why, but surely they can’t be blind to the fact it’s going to hurt this community, so there has to be some compassion,” Mr Sutton said.

“We made it abundantly clear as a group we were not going to go away.

“We will need to use people power to show we have been unfairly treated and lobby the government for change because if we don’t, Port Wakefield as a town will be done over.”

Mr Butson thanked Member for Goyder, Steven Griffiths, whose letter to the Premier’s office was believed to be a big driver of the meeting between the MPGA and Mr Blewett.

“His assistance with all of this has been brilliant and will not be forgotten,” he said.

She’s riding high!

Annaliese excels in South Africa

Annaliese shows her style in South Africa.

OPEN 7 DAYS

PORT Wakefield horse rider Annaliese Nipperess proudly flew the Aussie flag at the International Classique, held at Benoni, South Africa, last weekend, returning home with some stunning results.

She was one of four competitors representing Australia at the event, helping her team finish a close second behind New Zealand.

Individually, Annaliese rode her way to a second placing on the first day of competition, she took top spot the next day and followed that up with another second spot on the final day.

She rode a different horse each day, a new experience for her, but

overcame the hurdles of being on an unfamiliar animal with flying colours.

“I was very happy,” Annaliese said.

“I couldn’t have hoped for a better result. It was challenging but it was a good experience, and I got to ride some very good horses.”

Outside of the competition, she also relished the opportunity to see and meet people from other countries.

Annaliese’s father, Mark, was able to attend as well, while mother Amanda, remained at home.

“It was good to have dad over there, his support was great,” Annaliese said.

Amanda said both she and Mark were “chuffed” with their daughter’s efforts.

She also thanked all those who supported Annaliese’s trip to South Africa.

“The generosity was just fantastic,” Amanda said.

Annaliese now has a few weeks off before a scholarship event, followed by a jumping competition in Mount Gambier.

Absent: Johnathon Waters. PHOTO: MSP Photography.

SNOWTOWN Area School will farewell its last secondary school students at a special function on Thursday, December 6.

In June this year, the school’s governing council decided to offer only reception to year seven programs in 2013.

Declining student numbers meant a strong reduction of funding for the school, leading to a cut in classes available to secondary students.

End of an era nears for Snowtown AS School principal, Mat Evans, said next Thursday’s event would be a combination of end of year presentations and acknowledging

the end of an era. Christmas carols, various class items and student awards will form part of the function, while a history of the school will also feature.

Mr Evans said former student, Neralie Wearn (nee Rowan), former teacher, Jenni Hewett, and former principal, David Craddock, will speak about the school as part of the end of an era celebrations.

Gary drives strong points at bus inquiry FORMER local school bus contractor, Gary Simon, gave evidence at a hearing for the Parliamentary Select Committee Inquiry into School Bus Contracts at Parliament House last week.

The investigation was instigated after Victorian company, Australian Transit Enterprises (ATE), was the successful tenderer for a large number of rural bus routes, putting a number of regional contractors out of business last year.

Mr Simon, pictured, along with former business partner, Barry Taylor, were one of those regional operators to

Les Pearson reports:

lose their contract and subsequently, a majority of their business.

The select committee comprises five members of the Legislative Council, including Family First’s Rob Brokenshire, Labor’s Gerry Kandelaars, Mark Parnell of the Greens, and Liberal’s Jing Lee and David Ridgway.

“I was happy to go there and I didn’t hold back, I told them exactly what I thought,” Mr Simon said.

After devoting 26 years of his life to providing the

local school bus service, Mr Simon told the select committee how losing that part of his business had affected his wellbeing and livelihood.

Mr Simon was initially uncomfortable with the setting of speaking in Parliament House in front of the committee but their welcome helped dissolve that feeling and once he began to give his evidence, it all flowed from there.

“Once I started to speak, it just came naturally,” he said.

“I had a fair bit of knowledge on the subject and I had some things stored up, which I had given a lot of thought to.

“They really gave me the impression they were interested in what I had to say.”

He spoke for about 20 minutes, which included answering some questions from the select committee, after he raised some points not touched on at previous evidence hearings.

The committee will hand down its recommendations in a report on its investigation next year.

“I’m still happy there is something going on, as long as it is being discussed, there is some light at the end of the tunnel,” Mr Simon said.

Reduced limits when snapper season opens Fishers are reminded reduced recreational and charter snapper fishing limits will come into effect in South Australia when the season opens at midday on Friday, November 30.

Reduced bag and boat limits follow the usual month-long, statewide closure to snapper fishing, and will remain in place until midday, December 15.

After this time, recreational and

December 15. Reduced limits were announced in early October together with other new management measures aimed at providing greater protection to South Australia’s iconic snapper species during their spawning.

From 2013 onwards, recreational and charter fishers must comply with an extended closed season, running from midday November 1 to December 15.

charter snapper fishing limits revert to existing bag and boat limits. The snapper fishery will also remain closed to commercial fishers until midday

For the commercial sector, this includes a 15 day extension to annual November closure effective from 2012 and after this period, a limit on the daily allowable commercial catch and a reduction in number of hooks that can be used by commercial operators in Spencer Gulf and Gulf St Vincent.

Help your pet beat the heat

With summer approaching, vets are providing some tips to keep your pets cool.

“Vets receive numerous calls from concerned pet owners during summer heatwaves seeing worrying signs like lethargy, excessive panting or breathing problems,” says David Neck from the Australian Veterinary Association.

“Pets cool off through the pads of their feet and tongues.

“They need to pant to regulate their temperature, and dogs and cats with long hair can be more susceptible to the effects of heat,” he said.

Top tips for dogs and cats to beat the heat: · Make sure there is cool, fresh water available at all times. Leave this in a shady area. · On hot days leave bowls of cool water in the shade. · Keep an eye on older pets as they will be more susceptible to the heat, particularly if they have problems with their breathing. n More next week

Plains Producer, Wednesday, November 28, 2012

NEWS v District AT the 2014 State election, Balaklava township and nearby areas will move from the Liberal stronghold electorate of Goyder to Frome, currently held

by Independent MP, Geoff Brock. LES PEARSON profiles the new Liberal candidate for Frome, KENDALL JACKSON.

Battle for Balaklava FORMER ABC radio presenter and rural reporter, Kendall Jackson, has hit the campaign trail as the Liberal candidate for Frome, ahead of the 2014 state election.

Mrs Jackson, who owns and runs the Flinders Rest Hotel at Warnertown with husband, Lee, left the ABC in February after she was approached by Liberal Party members to become the party’s candidate for the electorate.

Independent, Geoff Brock, is the incumbent MP. “I’ve always been interested in politics as a journalist and I’ve always closely followed grain politics,” Mrs Jackson said.

“I always thought as a journalist, you come across some brilliant, interesting stories and views from people every day, but you don’t actually get to take their concerns to the next level.

“I suppose I reached that stage where I wanted to do more for the community.”

Having been raised on the farm, Mrs Jackson’s heart beats rural blood.

“I’ve got a really strong interest in supporting farmers,” she said.

“I know people right across the region, which is fantastic, and a lot of them have congratulated me and are really pleased with what I’m doing, so it’s really good to know

Will residents of the “hub” of the Plains decide the MP for Frome?

I’m heading in the right direction.”

She believed for a regional area to get best representation in government, the local MP needed to be aligned to a political party.

“It’s probably been something I’ve worked on for the past three years and I had been considering it since the last state election, basically when the seat went to an independent,” Mrs Jackson said.

“I was disappointed for the people in Frome, they don’t have the voice they deserve in Parliament.”

She was quoted in other media labelling Mr Brock as “ineffective” but Mrs Jackson clarified her stance of the current Member for Frome.

“He has been a family friend of ours for years and I really respect him, but to really be able to make a difference in your electorate, you need to have the backing of a major party,” Mrs Jackson explained.

“With that comes the potential of that party being in government one day and as a result, the member being in a party room and making a difference.”

Given her busy lifestyle includes running a small business and look-

ing after her four children, Mrs Jackson was well aware of the time demands require to be an MP. “I’m actually really looking forward to it,” she said.

“I kind of feel bored when I’m not being challenged, I like to be out there and getting amongst things.”

She said with a supportive husband, who is also passionate about her cause, the job was more than manageable.

Her situation is rather unique in state politics though, presenting a different option to the current MPs currently in government.

“You look at any minister around the state, none of them are female, have four young children and are my age,” Mrs Jackson, 35, said.

“I may also be an attractive candidate for small business, because I understand what it’s like to run a small business and the challenges involved with that.

“I think people are ready to see something a little bit different and I’m a very positive person, a lot of the time, politics are quite negative.

“I’d like to put my positive spin on what the Liberal Party can do for

Frome. I’m also not easily pushed over but I do it in a nice way, I think.”

With Liberal mentors behind her, including Member for Goyder, Steven Griffiths, former MP, Caroline Schaefer and Member for Schubert, Ivan Venning, Mrs Jackson was confident she could acquire the relevant skills to be an effective MP. “People like Mr Venning ... their experience is invaluable really,” she said.

With about 16 months before election day, her positive attitude

was evident as she heads into campaign mode, undaunted.

“I’ve got nothing to lose, I’m just really excited about it,” Mrs Jackson said.

“I think it’s important that if the Liberal government is elected in March 2014, that Frome has someone sitting in the party room when the decisions are being made and pushing for local funding, for roads, infrastructure, country health.

“I’m a very community focussed person and I really think Frome has missed out in recent years.”

A decade in the making – and now a $2.6 million investment:

n UNVEILING a plaque to open the new depot in Mallala are District Council of Mallala mayor, Marcus Strudwicke, right, with long-serving works depot staff members (from left) Jock Kennison, Sam Dunstan and Keith Earl.

District Council of Mallala officially opened the $2.6 million redevelopment of its depot on Thursday November 22.

The development, on Aerodrome road, Mallala, has been under council consideration for the past decade but only came to fruition in the past 12 months, with staff moving into the new premises in September.

While the “makeover” was in force, works staff relocated to Two Wells.

DCM chief executive officer,

Charles Manseuto, said the depot upgrade was a long time coming but the end result provided best practice, comfortable and userfriendly facilities for the 30 depot staff and the general public.

“The final outcome has taken into account the current and future needs so that council can continue to deliver and improve services to the community,” Mr Mansueto said.

“It’s been a challenging process to get to this point but I think the outcome is a positive one not just

for staff but for the pubic too.”

Apart from two small sheds and a large open equipment storage space at the back, not much of the old depot remains.

Taking pride of place in the upgrade is the depot’s new workshop and wash bay, which now meets EPA standards and is complete with a specific welding bay, chemical storage facilities, workshop office and large storage area.

Out the front, the car park and entrance area has been revamped, with electronic gates improving

security and access to the depot.

And when DCM works staff are not out and about in the district improving local roads, ovals, gardens and streets, they now have spacious office accommodation, a meeting room and better amenities, including a roomy lunch room.

DCM will hold a public open day on Thursday, December 13, from 3pm to 5pm for members of the community to view and tour the new facilities. Tours will run at 3.30pm and again at 4.30pm.

‘Face to face’ the key for Pascale business success The importance of relationships and demand for the faces behind organisations still is central to business excellence in South Australia according to construction and masonry company, Pascale Construction, which recently celebrated its long-running success and launched an exciting new company direction.

The Adelaide based company which celebrated a milestone of 30 years, works hard at building relationships with a variety of South Australian businesses and organisations as well as making their mark in South Australia with well-known building projects, such as the Gateway to Adelaide.

Pascale Construction Directors, Fred Pascale and Richard Zanchetta, acknowledge many businesses have experienced success through taking operations online, but believe the point of difference helping the company stand out from the crowd has been their attitude towards developing and nurturing face-to-face relationships and a ‘can-do’ culture.

“People judge you by your attitude towards them and your approach to business as well as your current work,” explained Fred.

“By knowing the face of your business they can get a sense of who you are and what the company stands for, which is why personal contact and strong relationships have been so important to us.

“In the construction industry you are

only as good as your last project, so it is important the directors are readily available and proactive to client’s needs,” Richard adds.

Recent tough economic times and low consumer confidence have been felt acutely in the construction industry, with emerging challenges such as a reduced volume of work, increased competition, dwindling profit margins, and the reduction of private sector investment.

Fred believes it is more important than ever for businesses in the industry to not only adapt to the current climate, but also remain true to your values in business.

“We began as a one man bricklaying business and have grown into a significant commercial construction company taking on large scale projects,” Fred said.

“Over 30 years we’ve faced many challenging times, such as the recession in the early 90s, but have been able to come through each economic downturn by standing by our values and points of difference.”

Pascale Construction’s performance can be seen in the recently completed new Works Depot for The District Council of Mallala.

Attention to detail and customer focus ensured a highly successful result and is a credit to the entire project team.

Pascale Construction is proud to be associated with this successful project and looks forward to an ongoing relationship with the council.

Veterans recognised for their dedication

Bec O’Brien reports: Between them, these men have given nearly 80 years service to the District Council of Mallala.

Pictured above, from left, Sam Dunstan, Jock Kennison and Keith Earl have all worked for DCM for 25 or more years and have seen much change in the last quarter of a century.

Sam started out with the council as a young 20-year-old and was given the not so pretty job of the rubbish run.

It was a hands-on, physical job, which required him to lift countless bins and empty them into a truck.

Part of his duties also included cleaning the public toilets in the district, and although these tasks might not have been for the faint hearted, Sam reckons they helped shape his work ethic today and introduced him to some wonderful people.

“I’ve got to meet some lovely people over the years,” he said.

“There was an elderly couple in Two Wells who every Monday when I came to empty their bin, would produce some sandwiches and a cold can of Coke for me.

“It became a tradition to stop by on Monday around lunch time.”

In more recent years the 45-year-old has mainly been working with the road construction crew, a job Sam says he enjoys as it gets him outside, away from a desk.

Fellow employee, Jock Kennison, emigrated from Scotland in 1965 and has worked at almost everything.

Also part of the construction crew, today Jock primarily works the bulldozer but has also driven the grader and semi-trailer trucks, carting rubble from the council’s quarry to one

place or another. He has worked for DCM for the past 28 years, but prior to this was a member of the Australian Army, went to sea with the merchant Navy and mined in Africa.

Jock has some great stories. If you get the chance, ask him about the bulldozer he sank!

Current DCM depot operations co-ordinator, Keith Earl, has also clocked up 25 years with the council.

Keith is a Mallala-ian through and through, having attended Mallala Primary School and worked in the town as a mechanic. Keith started at council in August 1987 doing “a bit of everything” be-

fore taking on a role as driver of a tandem tipper. Keith was also a patrol grader driver on a seasonal basis.

His mechanical background has stood him in good stead at DCM and his current role involves co-ordinating construction and maintenance teams.

DCM CEO Charles Mansueto, said the men’s contribution had not gone unnoticed.

“The have been very dedicated and committed,” he said. “It’s great to recognise staff contributions to the community.”

The trio received commemorative certificates and a Bunnings voucher.

WHAT better ambassador for Movember could there be than the moustached Member for Frome, Geoff Brock?

Mr Brock (pictured, right) recently worked himself to the point he was hospitalised, ignoring doctor’s orders to take a break and allow his medication to work.

“I felt some symptoms and went to the doctor, who provided me with some medication, which didn’t work sufficiently because of my own actions,” he explained.

“It was probably because I didn’t do the right thing after I had the medication.

The doctor recommended he go to hospital and have the required treatment through an intravenous drip.

“While I was there, I thought I might as well have an ‘oil change’ and ‘grease up’ and from that, I’ve now had my cholesterol and blood test done and the next thing is my prostate,” Mr Brock said.

“I’m a great supporter of the Cancer Council of SA, so I’m having my prostate tested as a precaution, even though the blood test indicated no real issue.”

The whole issue would have been resolved if he had taken a break the first time around.

“I am a workaholic, quite frankly, I’m my own worst enemy,” he said.

“It’s just my ethos and mannerism ever since my dad taught me that when I was young.

“Sometimes I might neglect to have a meal or I may feel a bit down and don’t understand it’s my body saying I might need a break.

“It’s a wake up call and I think that’s an issue with most of us men, we often don’t see or hear the wake up calls and I’m thankful I’ve had one.

“Two days in hospital was very frustrating but sometimes you need to stop and take heed of the warnings.”

It was a lesson learned for Mr Brock.

“The doctors are now saying to me, every six months, you will need a check up and I will take that on board,” he said.

“You’ve got to think about your family too, because you’re a long time dead.

“My first wife only had 39 years, my grandson only 18 months, so they’re the things I think about.”

SPORT v Bowls

Crucial matches in Division One this week • From back page This weekend’s matches will clearly impact on the Division One standings, with each of the matches being crucial to the aspirations of a number of sides.

Wasleys hosts a Riverton, a side coming off its bye. To date, Wasleys has a 2-5 record whereas Riverton’s record is 3-3.

In their previous clash, Riverton emerged victors by nine shots after a tight fought contest.

On any given day, Wasleys has the game to defeat any opposition.

Riverton will need to produce its best bowls to ensure that it goes home with a win rather than leave the match points with the home side.

Recent form suggests a Riverton win but the match may finish up much tighter than expected.

Balaklava meets Mallala in the second match. When the two sides last met, Balaklava emerged winners by two shots with only one rink up.

However, on its home green, Balaklava will ensure that the final result is nowhere near as close this time around.

The final match will see second placed Port Wakefield (5-2) play third placed Owen (3-4). In recent matches, Port Wakefield has had four wins in a row whereas Owen’s record is 2-2.

This form suggests that a fifth

successive win will be recorded by Port Wakefield at Owen’s expense.

Hamley Bridge has the bye for Round 9.

RESULTS: Port Wakefield 88 (10) (R. Murphy 27, G. McPharlin 26, W. McPharlin 35) def. Hamley Bridge 56 (2) (C. Donohue 13, P. Fritz 28, J. Bubner 15); Balaklava 69 (10) (B. Taylor 14, P. Thompson 27, T. Clifford 28) def. Owen 67 (2) (N. Harkness 31, T. Harkness 14, G. Bubner 22); Mallala 69

RIGHT: Riverton’s Alec Lee winds up for a bowl in Saturday’s Division Two competition at Hamley Bridge.

Top eight beginning to take shape Most of the leading Division Two sides took advantage of good wins in their respective matches to improve their standing within the top half of the competition.

Closest match of the round, though, was between Balaklava Red and Mallala Black.

Both sides could not be separated at the end of the day but with two rinks up, match points went to Balaklava Red 7-5.

For Balaklava Red, winning skippers were P. McPharlin and Cowan with three and two shot wins over Dunstan (MB) and Thorpe (MB), respectively.

Mallala Black’s McDonald finished five shots up over Guy (BR).

Leaders Port Wakefield Blue emerged winners by 13 shots up over middle of the order Owen.

Cluse (PWB) accounted for Warnes (O) by 18 shots; Reimers (PWB) defeated Hean (O) by six shots, while Owen’s Miles took the points against Baum (PWB) by 11 shots.

In other matches, third placed Balaklava Blue easily accounted for Mallala White by 25 shots, while fourth placed Tarlee White defeated Hamley White by 42 shots.

Other winners on the day included Riverton Black, Balaklava White and Hamley Red. Tarlee Red had the bye for round eight.

While the top six sides look comfortable, the next five sides are only separated by a spread of six points ensuring that the battle for a Division Two spot after

TALLON Towers, Riverton, sends one down, while teammate Lyn Gilbert (inset) follows her bowl in Division Two. the competition split is still alive and well.

This week Another set of crucial matches are on the cards in round nine.

For Mallala Black to edge closer to the leading group, a win against competition leaders Port Wakefield Blue is the first step.

Port Wakefield Blue still remains undefeated whereas Mallala Black has a 4-3 record, though somewhat unlucky in its last two matches.

A tight contest is likely here, with Port Wakefield Blue possibly playing out another close call in this

Plains Producer, Wednesday November 28, 2012

match.

Balaklava Red and Balaklava Blue occupy second and third spots, respectively.

Their local derby will be intensely fought as both sides endeavour to improve their current standings.

Season form suggests that little should separate the two sides at the end of the day.

So, which Balaklava side will take the match points?

Mallala White has an excellent opportunity to make up some ground upon the leading sides when it meets Balaklava White.

A win also will help Mallala White clear away

from the chasing pack behind it.

Season form favours Mallala White but with the match being played at Balaklava, the home side may gain an upset result here.

Owen and Hamley Red are two of the sides sitting on the Division Two/Division Three verge and so their clash, to be played at Owen, will be watched with interest.

Both sides have had the same number of wins so far though Hamley Red’s recent form has been the better of the two. Home green advantage may prove to be the deciding factor here.

In the remaining matches, season form suggests that Tarlee Red, Port Wakefield Gold and Riverton Black will win their respective matches.

Tarlee White has the Bye in Round nine.

LUKE Marshman concentrates hard as he plays a forehand for Dalkey, during Saturday’s B grade match at Hamley Bridge, against Hilltown.

Fill-ins dominant this week balaklava night

Interesting scores were seen across the board last Thursday night.

Division one Andrew Lane’s Beavers had a good win 5-32 to 1-16 over Tania Allen’s Gators. Well done to captain, Tania, and fill-in, Ben Michael, who won the Gators’ only set, but it just wasn’t meant to be otherwise! Big Beaver Darren Scholz was all over the net, while Laney was just being a beaver. Cherie Cmrlec and Leonie McRostie played consistently well. Gators’ regular men Chris Curnow and Jarrad Thiele played well, but couldn’t quite get there.

The other division one match had a similar scoreline, with Scott McDonald’s Turtles winning 6-33 to 0-17 over Pula McBride’s Newts. Luke Williams filled in and played two tiebreakers against direct opponent Paul, with some great

rallies played. Newts Gary Wilson, who was still in awe of his opponent from last week. Robert Bickmore showed he’s still got it…well, almost! He and partner Wally ‘Meatpack King’ Treverton, did well and with team mate Kirsty Williams, saved their pride by at least not having a dak dropper. Well done to the slow and steady Turtle Julia Hoskin, who had some hilarious rallies against Wally, who has also challenged Julia to a singles match!

Helen Barry played well despite having some knee trouble. And just to clarify, Kirsty has not had a collagen injection in her lip, just some stitches, after smacking herself in the mouth at Saturday tennis!

Division two had a cast of thousands filling in and it was difficult to find regulars.

Worms won a thriller 3-26 to 3-22 over Grubs. Opponents Kerrie Bell and Glenda Shepherd featured in two 8-0s, ending one apiece. Big wiry Worm, War-

ren McRostie, started with a bang having a big win with Nancy Gates, but went AWOL for his last two sets. Nancy was the weapon winning her three sets, the others with Kerrie and Michelle Williams. Grubs Bec Houston had a good hit out as did team mates Megan Shepherd, Glenda, and much improved Hollie Hudson. Well done to all players.

The final division two match was one sided, although there were some close sets. Gnats won 6-37 to Slugs 0-12. Slugs David Northcott and Kevyna Gardner were unlucky to lose a tiebreaker to Pete Georg and Mary Heslop, while Danielle Murphy was ‘consistent’ in her battle against former night regular, Carly Friedrichs. Pete and David had some good rallies, as did fill-in Kym Woodroofe against Cherie Cleary. Maybe next time, Slugs! With regulars back in for all teams, things could look very different.

Too hot for ‘Hoops With the warm weather on Friday night, Aussie Hoops was cancelled.

I expect this may happen again at some stage, hopefully it won’t be this week.

I hear Annette Wilson keeps a pretty good eye on the weather, and gets the message to the clubs and schools.

Apparently Annette was fighting a losing battle with those nasty flies, calling for the aeroguard…thankfully Shane Faehrmann didn’t have far to go to help her out with a can, with Chloe Brown bringing a can as well.

Unfortunately, due to the accidents on Port Wakefield road, Ben and other umpires were unable to make it this week.

It’s lucky Leigh was able to step into the role and had it all under control, with Mark Snowdon giving umpiring a go.

Chris Simon came to the rescue, as well as a number of other umpires managing to umpire extra games…I hear Tom Lane is doing a great job in the ‘green shirts’. Well done Tom. In the Under 12 mixed competition, I see the Strikers beat the Magics team by one point – this is said to be one of the games of the night, with Rhea Lawless top scoring for the Strikers and Thomas Michael and Sabian Bennett both shooting well also.

Bad luck to the Magics, who played an awesome game.

Candace Smith, Jacob Battle and Karl Binka shot well, too. I’ve heard Karl may be out due to injury, how long for we will have to wait and see.

Long Plains had a win against the Falcons in Under 14 boys, with Dawson Page top scoring again this week on 45 points.

Good to see Blake Barber putting in a mightier effort as well.

Ashton Snowden and Matt Wandel also played well, along with the rest

By the Bench Warmer

of the Long Plains team. Sean Speissagger and Samuel Michael both put in stellar efforts for the Falcons.

In the Under 16 girls competition, the Cannons went down to the Owen team.

Aleisha Michael, Alyssa Allen and Emma Mahony scored well for the Cannons and Kelsey Wedding, Jessica Heaslip and Mary Hosking did well for Owen.

In Under 17, the Titans had a close win against Bulldogs with Titans Bradey Krieg, Lachlan Speissegger and Jeremy Lusung scoring well.

Tait Nottle, WillAngel and Thomas Goldney did a great job for the Bulldogs.

The A Grade Women’s game was a great spectacle, I now believe that Clare have a real chance of being there come March.

Jenna Caulifield top scored for Clare on 22 points.

Clare’s passing was strong and direct, however I believe they are not playing their absolute best.

There were some really great shots, and steals, on both sides.

Tegan Nottle is good at this.

Holly Cowan went down and looks like she may be out for a few weeks, if not the season. A huge blow for the Bulldogs side.

Katie Woodrow, however, will keep the side focused while the team will rally to play their best.

Bench Warmers Tip of the Week: Players, umpires need to drink more water, and coaches need to make sure they take timeouts as well.

Twenty one players defied a spot of heat and a couple of friendly flies, in company with some very smartly turned-out Pennants players from distant parts - result: mighty Merv. Hameister (79/68) made ‘em weep in the A Grade, while Doug Taylor chimed in with 82/70 for second place and Rob Lawson, having smashed Austin Henstridge 5/4 in the Summer Cup (round 1) came third with 83/72, nurgling Wayne Nagle (85/72) on a count back.One Tom Mitchell (87/75) finished his round, unlike Tate Michael, still shaky from a somewhat hectic Schoolies Week, recorded a well-earned DNF. A thin B Grade blue line separated rampaging Ron Carney (86/68) from “Head Still Bill” Berry (88/71) leaving the gentle John Michael (93/73) to hoik 3rd place out from the eager grasp of one Rob Malone (89/73).Greg Sonntag did OK with 90/76, one Peter Lithgow (97/80) not so well and Craig Noble didn’t even get a score recorded in THE BOOK!.

It was one Neville Day’s day (101/72) over in the C Grade, as he trumped Scott Davey (98/73) and dumped Mike Hahesy (102/75).

Left to ponder how many mint leaves to put into a half decent pea & ham soup were Chris Hahesy (101/76), Moya Hayes (102/76), M. Liptrot (104/78, A. Henstridge (102/79) and a not-so-happy Trevor Gilmour, who came in early with a DNF. Mike Hahesy was our sole Birdie belter, on the 8th, but Nearest The Pins went to Peter Lithgow (3rd), Wayne Nagle (8th & 10th), Dennis Higgins (2nd shot on 13) and Rob Lawson (15th). Golfer of the Year points were showered upon Merv. Hameister (6),

Ron Carney (5), Doug Taylor (4), Bill Berry (3), Rob Lawson (2) and the drones, one each. This Sat. we’ve got ourselves another no-nonsense Stroke round, Mr. Doug. Taylor Esq. officiating.

balaklava ladies

The ladies played a stableford round, with almost perfect conditions for golf, but good results were only forthcoming for our regular star, Genni Edwards, who scored 37. To top that off, Genni had a chip in and nearest the pin as well- if you don’t mind! Second was the burglar, Judy Wandel with 35, who has adapted to greens very well. Joan Anderson had 32 and we won’t mention the others as they’ve paid me not to!

Next week is a stroke round and counting putts.

The abdication crisis brought more than ever into the public mind the remarkable group of women who stand nearest to the Throne, Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth, and the two princesses, Elizabeth and Margaret. During the crisis Queen Mary endeared herself to the people of the nation more than ever by the outward calm which she displayed.

Another national singing competition, another winner, another nobody.

Another series of Channel Seven’s ‘The X-Factor’ finally came to an end last week after 25-year-old Samantha Jade, controversially took the winners title. The Perth singer has already held multiple recording contracts and was a personal friend of judge, Guy Sebastian, and was still allowed to enter the competition.

For those who have started out on television talent shows, success has come in leaps and bounds for some and not so much for others.

boy band ‘One Direction’ who finished third on the British ‘XFactor’. The five members auditioned individually before judges decided to join them together to form a boy band, which has had more success than marriage proposals, representing a $50 million dollar company and sold out world tours.

Quirky ‘X-Factor’ winner, Altiyan Childs, has forever been encircled in controversy since winning the series in 2010.

In an interview with Channel Seven’s ‘Today Tonight’, Childs revealed that he would have been earning more money as a forklift driver despite releasing a single and going on an Australian tour in 2010.

So it seems talent reality shows have had their fair share of success and failure. The ratings for these TV shows still outweigh the eventual success of the winner, meaning such shows will forever be on our screens.

It was her smile that won the people of London on her wedding day, and it captured all Australian hearts when, as Duchess of York, she visited the Commonwealth with the Duke of York in 1927. Her personality created for her a special place in Australia’s affections which has been strengthened by her elevation as first lady of the Empire.

While our state was celebrating a century of achievements, in 1936, there was utter turmoil back in Britain where the monarchy had been turned upside down – Edward VIII had abdicated the throne and thrust his brother, Albert, Duke of York, into the limelight as King George VI.

House and land containing approximately 1.822 HA Great rural view with room to move

This property consists of a 3 bedroom stone cottage home with ample storage rooms and area at the rear of the home. The main portion of the home has ornate ceilings and timber floors and some have lino coverings. The home also has a semi tiled bathroom that does require some attention however the basics are there and it is useable until you are ready to renovate. The rear of the home has a stone wall feature and with some imagination it could be a very nice little area. This property could be in the lower price bracket and it may be the bargain you have been waiting for.

This home is set in the Alma hills and has rural views over the adjoining valley. There has been a new kitchen installed with some finishing still required so you will be able to select and install the fittings to suit your own preferences. The home does require some renovations but you have the area and the building all there ready to improve and if you do it right, you will have a lovely asset for the future. Properties with a bit of land are rare at the moment so arrange an inspection now.

Balaklava survives close call competition leaders, Balaklava, emerged victors over Owen in Division One of the Wooroora Men’s Bowling Association on Saturday, but not before a tight tussle.

Only two shots finally separated the sides, with Balaklava having two of its three rinks up at the end of the day.

Thompson (B) finished 12 shots up over T. Harkness (O) while Clifford (B) was six shots up over G. Bubner (O). Owen’s rink points came courtesy of N. Harkness’ (O) defeat of Taylor (B) to the tune of 17 shots.

Mallala gained their second win for the season at the expense of Wasleys.

Twelve shots was the final margin.

For Mallala, rinks wins were recorded by Evans and Furst with respective 12 shots and one shot wins over Grady (W) and Nicolai (W).

Wasleys’ sole winning rink went to Olive with a one shot win over Smith (M).

The final match saw Port Wakefield keep their away win record intact with a 32 shot

win against Hamley Bridge. W. McPharlin (PW) led the way with a 20 shot win against J. Bubner (HB) while Murphy (PW) finished 14 shots ahead of Donohue (HB).

Fritz (HB) held on for a narrow two shot win over G. McPharlin (PW) to give Hamley Bridge their only rink points for the day.

Riverton had the bye for round eight.

While Balaklava and Port Wakefield sit comfortably in the top two positions, the rest of the standings have tightened up once again with a spread of only seven points separating the five sides.

Which two of these sides will finally occupy the remaining top four positions?

No doubt, a lot of water will flow under the bridge before a conclusion eventually emerges. n Continued page 18
