Is a pot of gold in that bin? n ALL farmers know there’s no gold until the grain is in the silo – but Pinery farmer Bob Barr came as close as he could to that elusive pot of gold at the end of the rainbow recently.

Shocked by debt forecast, local businessman Neill Sharer will nominate for District Council of Mallala as he declares:

NEILL Sharer

‘Stop the spending’

MOUNTING debt forecast levels and an impending big spend on the relocation of District Council of Mallala’s headquarters have raised the ire of future council election candidate, Lower Light publican, Neill Sharer.

Mr Sharer has been closely analysing council figures in recent weeks, with concerns that debt levels are getting out of control.

“According to council figures, the district is in debt currently to the tune of $5.5 million dollars, this equates to a debt of $664 per rate payer,” he said.

“In five years time, this debt is due to rise to $17,588,378, which equates to $1,725 per rate payer - assuming the number of rate payers increases by the four per cent per annum the council is forecasting.

“However, should the forecast not prove correct and the number of rate payers stays static, it will be a debt of $2,012 per rate payer.”

Mr Sharer attended the Strategic Infrastructure and Planning Committee meeting on Monday, May 13, where the committee discussed the proposed move of the Council

offices and Chambers to a new venue in Two Wells, while maintaining a small sub office in Mallala.

“Many figures were bandied about ranging from $2.6 million up to $9 million dollars for this project,” he said.

“Thankfully the voices of common sense (mainly from Crs Ann Picard, Steve Jones and Terry-Anne Keen) where all but two Crs (Tom Summerton and Joe Daniele) won out in a vote.”

The matter was deferred until the next elected council sits in 2014.

Rattler wins

n The Rattler trail, which runs from Riverton to Auburn, has received a $410,000 grant from the Regional Development Australia Fund – but Balaklava’s Shamus Liptrot Cycling Trail was among other projects to miss out after Round Three successes were announced. Rattler’s big win was given the “thumbs up” by Federal MP for Wakefield, Nick Champion and Clare and Gilbert Valleys council mayor, Allan Aughey, in Auburn on Friday. n FULL STORY, Page 2

Rattler win to link other trails

WRC misses on Liptrot project NEWS of $410,300 Federal government funding to upgrade the Rattler Trail was greeted enthusiastically by the trail’s committee and the Clare and Gilbert Valleys Council last week.

The walking and bike trail was badly damaged during extensive flooding in 2010 and requires major works to restore its suitability for recreational use.

The Rattler Trail runs for 19km from Riverton to Auburn and is a strategic link for the Barossa and Clare Valleys.

The trail is complementary to the Riesling Trail and a cycling trail in the south, with the Jack Bobridge Trail for the Barossa and Gawler and outer Adelaide region, and is a stepoff for the Heysen Trail. The upgrade will include the restoration of six original rail bridges along its length.

Federal Member for Wakefield, Nick Champion, announced the Rattler’s success last Thursday and congratulated the council and community on their successful application.

“It is another example of the Federal government and local councils working together to provide important infrastructure for the local community,” Mr Champion said.

Minister for Regional Services, Catherine King, said the project, one of 79 announced, would deliver employment benefits to the region. The project is expected to be completed by March 31, 2014.

However, Wakefield Regional Council (WRC) was unsuccessful in

its $200,000 funding bid to lengthen the Shamus Liptrot Cycling Trail from the same round three Regional Development Australia Fund (RDAF).

The Shamus Liptrot cycling trail presently runs from Balaklava’s eastern outskirts to Balaklava golf club. It had been hoped the funding would allow the next stage to proceed to Halbury.

WRC CEO, Cate Atkinson, said she was disappointed the grant application was unsuccessful.

“I think the work done for it will not go to waste though,” Mrs Atkinson said.

“We will certainly be looking at other funding opportunities in the near future.

“It was such a great application and the effort and the way the community put everything together was wonderful.”

District Council of Mallala (DCM) also missed out with its $300,000 Two Wells market place project as part of the Barossa RDA region..

DCM chief executive officer, Charles Mansueto, said the project remained part of council’s longer term vision.

“We will need to reconsider the timing of the project,” he said. “Without that funding, it would be difficult for council to proceed with it.

“But it is part of a broader plan, so it is still there as an item to pursue, perhaps with a different source of funding.”

DCM also has applied for $15million to construct a waste water pipeline from Bolivar, but RDA will not announce succesful round four applicants until July.

CELEBRATING Rattler’s success (from left) Cr Elizabeth Calvert, Bernie Brunt, Nick Champion, Ron Koglin, Cheryl Koglin,council development, infrastructure and environment manager, Grant McKenzie, Ronnie McInerney, Cr Dianne Schwarz and mayor Allan Aughey.

You win some, lose some The Rattler Trail was one of two successful RDAF round three applicants for the RDA Yorke and Mid North (RDAYMN) region.

Each round three applicant (and round four, supporting bigger projects) had progressed from a raft of applicants to the “expression of interest” stage.

Regional Council of Goyder was awarded $77,200 for the Hallett tourism precinct development.

But others to miss out along with WRC’s Liptrot project included a District Council of Mount Remarkable boat launching facility at Port Flinders, and District

Council of Orroroo and Carrieton stormwater and aquifer recharge stage 2.

In the Barossa RDA region, successful projects included Gawler Council’s youth precinct at Clonlea ($120,000) and Light Regional Council’s shared use path at Hewett ($172,000).

RDAYMN board chair, Kay Matthias, congratulated successful applicants. She said the board and staff were pleased to see such worthy community projects receive funding.

“We look forward to positive results for applicants from Yorke

and Mid North when round four funding is announced Round four, worth a total of $175 million, is expected to be announced in July. RDAYMN has three applications under consideration – the Walk the Yorke recreational trail, Port Pirie CBD upgrade and Burra Heritage Precinct.

“We still await guidelines and criteria for round five of the RDAF,” Ms Mathias said..

RDAF supports capital infrastructure projects which are identified as priorities by local communities in regional Australia.

It’s ‘bio’ and diversity in a learning day at the Rocks Louise Michael reports:

Rocks Reserve, south east of Balaklava, was turned into a hive of activity for Northern and Yorke Natural Resource Management’s (NYNRM) Biodiversity Day last Friday.

More than 20 interested locals, and a large number of students from five local schools, attended information sessions, or volunteered to help with revegetation, along the Wakefield river and surrounding catchment areas, including some private properties.

Students from Owen, Port Wakefield and Snowtown Primary Schools, and Balaklava High School, attended four sessions on plants, feral animals, water and birds, presented by a panel of experts.

Trees for Life and Greening Australia workers had assisted the volunteers by planting a number of trees on Thursday around the Salter Springs area of the river.

After the official opening, volunteers moved into groups to start planting, while school groups participated in four handson presentations.

Presenter, Chris Brodie, gave an interesting presentation on species of weeds and plants, and the recording process involved prior to them being dried and kept for historical records.

Students scoured the riverbank for weeds in flower or fruit, which is the only way they can be properly identified.

Balaklava High School students were very happy with their record of planting 88 trees in 50 minutes.

After planting, some students enjoyed

a chat with local retired farmer, Melvyn Zerk. James McGregor spoke to students about soil erosion, caused by wind, and drivers not sticking to designated offroad tracks.

He also addressed the importance of trees, not only for birds, but for the whole eco-system.

Students and volunteers then planted a mixture of plants, from large eucalypts, medium sized wattles, small bushes and groundcovers.

Mike Zwarts, of Kapunda, had everyone’s attention as he discussed the damage caused by feral animals (not including children!)

We have many feral animals in Australia, including cane toads, foxes, camels, deer, mice, some types of fish, cats, birds and goats, wild horses, rabbits, wild pigs, rats, swamp buffalo, wild dogs and dingoes.

Did you know Australia is the only country to have disease free camels?

Mike showed a range of animal traps and the students had a chance to test them out!

Saddleworth’s Andrew Wurst, an expert on birds, placed a collection of stuffed birds around the reserve area and students used a telescope to find and study the birds. Andrew then explained their

feeding and breeding habits, and desired environments. Kerry Ward discussed river water, explaining salinity levels, waterflow and rainfall.

Students collected water samples and checked salinity levels of the river via a salinity monitor.

Kerry added salt to some bottled water to match the levels found in the river water, and also had some sea water samples for comparison.

Some lucky students, like Caitlin Moulds, pictured at left, had the chance to have a taste test – and it is safe to say they didn’t like it!

“It was a very successful day and it was great to have volunteers and school students come along and get involved,” said NYNRM project manager, Jennifer Munro.

Jennifer is hoping volunteers will be available again in July for the continuation of the revegetation project, from the Salter Springs area back towards Undalya.

NEWS v District

Long Plains body identified THE remains discovered at Long Plains in January this year have been identified as murder victim Lu Linh Le. Mr Le, pictured, a 25-yearold from Croydon, went missing from Royal Adelaide Hospital on December 3, 1984.

He was receiving hospital treatment as a result of being shot in the shoulder in September, 1984 during a domestic dispute.

A man was charged, convicted and jailed as a result of that shooting.

The disappearance of Mr Le, who was reported missing by his

brother on December 12, 1984, was declared a Major Crime on December 7, 1986.

During the police investigation, several people of interest have been identified and interviewed but no charges have been laid.

On January 25 this year, Mr Le’s remains were found in a shallow grave adjacent to Baker’s Road, Long Plains by local farmer, Todd Baker.

Mr Baker was fencing at the time and uncovered Mr Le’s body with a front-end loader.

His identification has been confirmed by the State Coroner

based on forensic examination and physical evidence after DNA testing was unable to confirm his identity.

Police are now seeking the assistance of members of the public who may have information relating to the murder of Mr Le. “This is a serious crime – Mr Le was somehow lured away from his hospital bed, murdered and his body buried out at Long Plains where it was only uncovered recently,” Acting Superintendent, Detective Mark Trenwith said.

“It may be that there are people out there who have information

about this matter who have been reluctant to come forward for any number of reasons.

“But we would urge them to do so now – it is time to talk to police before we knock on your door.

“It should also be remembered that unsolved murders are never filed and that Major Crime detectives are always available to follow up new information provided by members of the public.”

Anyone with information about the disappearance and murder of Mr Le should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or report online at www.sa.crimestoppers.com.au

Walking to school a lesson in fitness Port Wakefield primary school students (from left) Nick Gilgen, Emily Griffiths and Kyla Griffin will be walking to school on Friday.

The pitter-patter of little feet will be heard on the footpaths on Friday for “Walk Safely to School Day.” Now in its 14th year, the aim of this community initiative is to raise awareness of the health and environmental benefits walking can have for the long term health of our children.

This year, a new interactive App has been launched, which will encourage more children to walk, everyday.

The free App has also been developed to help meet one of the national objectives of the initiative, which is to have every Australian child exercising for at least 60 minutes each day, to

help combat the alarming rise in childhood obesity and other health related issues.

Country towns offer few excuses not to walk anywhere.

Hopefully, all children, and parents, will leave the car at home and join the walking initiative! n Education feature starts Page 13

Action plan revealed THREE large economic documents dominate a bulky Wakefield Regional Council agenda for tonight’s monthly meeting.

A new draft Economic Statement and Action Plan for the district is to be discussed, the first time it has been revised since being established in 2006.

WRC chief executive officer, Cate Atkinson, said it was the first time such a document had crossed councillors before.

“It hasn’t been presented previously, so I am hoping for some discussion about it,” she said.

“The plan provides a general direction to engage with the local business and commercial sector

to provide a framework for future development in the district.

“Councils that have prepared them in the past have used them as a platform to gain business development in their area.”

WRC’s Long Term Financial Plan and Annual Business Plan also form a large part of the meeting’s agenda.

Central Local Government Region chief executive officer,

Anita Crisp, will be making a presentation highlighting some of the major achievements of the CLGR over the past year.

Council has also recently completed its first round of public consultation regarding the elector representation review, which received no comments from the public.

Mrs Atkinson said elected members would consider a proposed model for how the council district is represented at the June council meeting.

Once a proposed model is adopted, council will again go back to public consultation for any comment or feedback.

Showers bring promising start FARMERS around the district have been busily doing laps of paddocks while the sun shines, as recent rains have hampered some seeding and spraying efforts.

The start to the growing season has been promising, with above average rainfall in some areas throughout April and more follow up rains in May so far.

At Balaklava, the Bureau of Meteorology recorded 42.4mm for April, compared to an average of 32.1mm for that month, while 31mm had fallen in May as of Tuesday morning.

Mallala had falls of 41.6mm for April and 33.3mm so far in May, while 20.8mm fell at Snowtown last month and 26.8mm this month.

Auburn’s April falls totalled 35.8mm, down on its April average of 42.8mm, while Blyth (26.6mm) and Two Wells (27.4mm) were also below average.

Port Wakefield recorded 36.6mm and Hamley Bridge 38mm for April, above their respective averages. More rain was forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday.

NEWS v District

‘No rural encouragement’ THE Federal Budget handed down by Treasurer, Wayne Swan, last week has been criticised for its perceived neglect of primary production and rural industries.

Agricultrual group Primary Producers SA (PPSA) observed the Budget will not be celebrated by primary producers in South Australia.

PPSA was relieved there were no big cuts to the Federal Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, given the overall Budget scenario.

“As with recent Budgets it fails to invest in primary production and ignores the fact it is rural Australia which is the engine room of this economy, generating vital exports despite being handicapped by the high Australian dollar,” said PPSA chair, Rob Kerin.

“This Budget does not do enough to encourage the rural sector. We would have hoped the government would have signalled significant money to implement the National Food Plan quickly when it is released.

“There is an allocation of $1.5m over four years – we hope there is significant funding allocated when the Plan is finalised.

Mr Kerin said it was a Budget of money shuffling.

“Considerable money has been re-allocated from Caring for Country to the Drought pack-

• Liberal candidate for Wakefield, Tom Zorich, criticised the Budget.

“For Wakefield families, this Budget does nothing to help deal with cost of living pressures, economic uncertainty and poor services,” he said.

“Wayne Swan said this Budget was about “jobs and growth” but the Budget actually forecasts an increase in unemployment (up to 5.75 per cent) and lower growth (down to 2.75 per cent).

• The National Party added its criticism through leader, Warren Truss.

“Two billion dollars has been slashed from the dedicated Regional Infrastructure Fund, which Labor said would help redress the imbalance between city and country,” Mr Truss said.

“Labor made the funding contingent on mining tax revenue, but the mining tax has collapsed and Labor is now ditching its commitment to the regions.

Local praise for ‘Iron lady’ LOCAL government leaders from Wakefield Regional Council have extended their condolences following the passing of notoriously parochial and widely respected Port Augusta mayor, Joy Baluch AM. Ms Baluch finally succumbed to breast cancer on Tuesday night after a long battle with disease.

Tributes have swept in from all over the nation in the wake of her passing, the renowned ‘Iron Lady of the Iron Triangle’ sure to live long in the memories of the people she met over her extensive service to her beloved Port Augusta community.

Local government association (LGA) president, mayor David O’Loughlin said mayor Baluch made an outstanding contribution to her community and to Local Government over more than 40 years.

“She was a legend in Local Government and in the wider community, there were few people who had not heard her name and with Joy it was definitely once met, never forgotten,” he said.

“She was also very vocal against perceived centralisation of services and was never shy of reminding people on

“North Terrace” that South Australia didn’t stop at Gepps Cross or of letting it be known in Canberra that Australia was more than the eastern seaboard.”

Wakefield Regional Council chief executive officer, Cate Atkinson, and mayor, James Maitland, both conveyed their sadness on hearing of Ms Baluch’s death.

Mrs Atkinson said she had known and worked with Ms Baluch over a 20-year period.

“Joy was a wonderful servant for Port Augusta Council and its community,” she said.

“I think she was a strong role model and encouraged women to come on to council as elected members.

“She had a no-holds-barred approach and spoke frankly, and I think there’s a lesson in that for everyone, whether you hold a role in the community or not.”

Mr Maitland spent many years working with Ms Baluch on the LGA state executive and admired her passionate advocating of Port Augusta.

“She was an outstanding representative for the community of Port Augusta, which she called the ‘centre of the universe’,” Mr Maitland fondly recalled.

“Over the years, she fought very strongly, working on a number of touchy issues in the

town. “Whether she achieved all of her goals with those, I’m not sure, but if she didn’t, I’m not sure anyone else out there could.”

Often Ms Baluch’s representation of the wider regions of the state were left wanting as a result of her parochial nature.

“She would find it hard to do it without ending up focussing on Port Augusta,” Mr Maitland said.

Despite her tough persona, Mr Maitland said Ms Baluch was a religious woman with a kind heart and considerate nature.

“She was certainly inspiring to many people and was very kind and caring towards me when I was unwell a few years ago, and I was very touched by that,” he said.

Local government welcomes referendum wording South Australia’s Local Government Association has welcomed confirmation of the wording for a referendum to be put to the Parliament and the Australian people this year.

SA LGA President mayor David O’Loughlin said Section 96 of the Constitution only dealt with funding and the proposal was to add the words “or any Local Government body

formed by a law of a State.”

“This wording is exactly what every South Australian council and the LGA of SA has asked for,” he said.

Mayor O’Loughlin said councils did not want a broadly-based recognition which might cause controversy.

“We are delighted under Tony Abbott‘s and Barnaby Joyce’s leadership the Coa-

lition has chosen to support local government’s proposal which we now know the government is acting on,” he said.

“We are thrilled both have kept to their word and are supporting this positive initiative for every community and therefore the entire nation.

“This change will simply validate direct funding programs currently in doubt.”

NEWS v District election declaration for 2014:

Council gets “ Neill fired up

NEILL SHARER:

I see people like Joe Daniele on council, who has been there since Noah built his ark

LOWER Light publican Neill Sharer will run for council next year.

‘Stop the spending’ • From page 1 “This was only a sub committee and no doubt this will go before the full council meeting, which is due at the end of this month, where that decision could be overturned,” Mr Sharer added.

“What is amazing is that back in December 1990, when Cr Daniele was on council, he voted against the move of the council offices from Mallala to Two Wells when he stated ‘we could not afford it at the time’.

“Yet, on Monday evening he voted in favour of the move.

“I do not think that the council is in a better financial position nowadays.”

Mr Sharer then took aim at projected council rate increases.

“Rate increases of five per cent per annum have been suggested by the council in order to pay off the incurred debts,” he said.

“Five per cent may not sound much, but based on a rate bill of $750 per annum, this would add a further $38 this year, $39 the following year, $41 the year after, $43 the fourth year and $45 in the fifth year.

“The total rates bill would have increased from $750 now to $957 in five years’ time. Rate payers cannot afford these increases.”

He was sceptical of increased rate revenue from housing developments.

“There is a (forecast) dramatic increase of council revenue from $8,278,425 to $15,387,086, which I assume will be from increased rate income from the new housing development in Two Wells,” Mr Sharer said.

“I spoke at the meeting on Monday evening and suggested to the members of the committee that they should adopt a new policy.

“The policy being ‘Do we need it, or do we want it’?

“We do not need a new council office at the moment, we do not need to saddle the district with more debt and gamble that the new housing development in Two Wells will be the ‘goose that lays the golden egg’.

“We do not need to keep increasing the rates by five per cent per annum.

“What we do need is for the council to stop spending and to become more fiscally responsible to its rate payers and become business friendly in order to attract jobs and more residents to the area.”

Mr Sharer urged residents to attend the next council meeting due to be held on Monday, May 27, to voice their concerns.

Farm burn off and calm night caused Balaklava smoke haze USUALLY where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

That wasn’t exactly the case for one unfortunate local farmer, when attempting a burn off on a 100-acre paddock east of Balaklava on Monday night.

Balaklava CFS captain, Kevin Julyan, said the paddock had windrows, which were still damp.

“They just did not burn and kept smouldering,” Mr Julyan said.

The resulting smoke eventually cloaked the town, raising concerns from locals baffled about where the smoke was coming from.

Mr Julyan said there were a few other famers doing burn offs Monday night, while some bonfires around the town were also thought to be the cause of the widespread smoke.

“I spent half the night answering phone calls in the fire station,” he said.

Rather than simply blow away in the breeze, the smoky haze drifted into town along the Wakefield River.

“The night was dead calm, which was just one of those unusual, freakish things,” Mr Julyan explained. “It was an unusual seasonal phenomenon.”

On finding the smoke was wreaking havoc on the township, Mr Julyan said the farmer acted quickly to extinguish the smouldering piles.

“He was well within his rights and did not break any regulations but being a very conscientious farmer, he went around and put out as much as he could,” he said.

Three CFS trucks also assisted with putting out the smoky stacks.

Plains Producer, Wednesday May 22, 2013

WITH an eye to leading District Council of Mallala out of a projected financial wasteland, Lower Light resident, Neill Sharer, has flagged his intention to nominate for the Local Government elections in November, 2014.

Mr Sharer’s previously peaceful interest in council was inflamed by the recent discussion to relocate the DCM chamber and services from Mallala to a new facility in Two Wells. The move is set to cost about $2.6million.

“One local resident brought it to my attention, as I had always said I would stand for council at the next elections,” Mr Sharer said.

“It was all in the agendas and minutes, and the more I read, the more I was astounded.”

He believed the suggested shift came at a terrible time, considering council’s current financial situation (see story, page 1 and below).

Mr Sharer feels the current ward system in place means several areas in the district are not represented at council level.

“When I look at the way council is divided by its wards, there’s no one representing Wild Horse Plains, Webb Beach, Thompson Beach, these areas,” he said.

Les Pearson reports: During the Review of Elector Representation consultation phase, Mr Sharer was one of four to submit responses, suggesting to abolish wards all together.

“Without wards, councillors could then cover the whole council region,” he said.

While he has no local government experience, Mr Sharer spent some time on the board of management for Cystic Fibrosis Victoria a few years ago, exposing him to the nature of committee-based decision making process.

His push to become an elected member would breathe fresh air into a current council he considers to be fairly stagnant and stale.

“I see people like Joe Daniele on council, who has been there since Noah built his ark,” Mr Sharer said.

“Then you look at how long he has been on council, you look for the projects he’s introducing, there’s nothing there.

“I’m looking for what he’s doing and I don’t see anything.”

He finds the allowances for mayor, deputy mayor and elected member positions (set by the Local

Government Association) a blight on the system.

“If you want to help local people out, by all means, cover your costs, but why do you want to be paid?”

Mr Sharer posed.

Come November 2014, Mr Sharer is confident he can garner enough community support to be elected to council. “I have no doubt about that,” he said.

He claims a number of current councillors, including Terry-Anne Keen, Steve Jones and Anne Picard, also support his quest to join DCM’s elected membership.

As a somewhat jaded ratepayer and business owner, Mr Sharer is keen to help shape the district as an attractive location for businesses to establish themselves.

“I definitely don’t see any new businesses being attracted to the area,” Mr Sharer said. “I don’t see any discussions about council being ‘pro-business’.”

If council didn’t pull its finances into line, Mr Sharer foreshadowed an eventual merger with neighbouring councils.

“DCM could become redundant and I don’t want to see that or we’ll lose a close point of contact with council,” he said.

NEWS v Dublin

Monumental effort!

Dublin’s big day after cemetery upgrade finally is completed ABOUT 70 people attended a special event celebrating the revamp of the formerly run-down Dublin Cemetery on Sunday.

Dublin resident, Pat Thompson, has headed most of the work, bringing the cemetery up to a suitable standard after her late husband, Robert, instigated the project a number of years ago.

Pat said Robert was “disgusted” by the state of the cemetery and worked hard to remove rubbish littered around the site and identify a number of unmarked graves in the plot.

A number of graves have since had new headstones and plaques added, while several formerly unmarked graves are now appropriately named.

Pat said a number of families with local heritage were proud to know where their relatives were buried, after years of uncertainty.

“They all thought it was great,” she said.

A plaque now lists every person buried in the cemetery, while another plaque was unveiled to commemorate the restoration work, which has been carried out

over 20 years. Total value of the refurbishment was close to $40,000, although thanks to donations from a number of contributors, the Dublin History Group ended up paying about $18,500.

Pat expects the new fence around the cemetery to be completed at the end of the week, marking the end of years of hard work.

“The fact of the matter is, Bob was the one that started it all,” she said.

“I wouldn’t have done anything if he hadn’t, but we’ve done it now.”

GATHERED at Dublin Institute for afternoon tea after the opening are Kaye Pedlar, Mintaro, and Gwen Rutter, of Adelaide (both nee Prime) Ray Earl, Mallala, Allan White (former Dublin resident, now Adelaide) and Carolyn Ackland.

Decipher your cat’s meow

Meowing is a language developed exclusively for humans. The only meowing done amongst cats is done between a mother and her kittens. Kittens use their tiny meows to get attention from their mother, which is why once they’re grown, the meows stop. Cats meow to people for similar reasons. Pleasant sounding meows are generally used as requests for food or attention, whereas unpleasant meowing is usually reserved for demands or to express annoyance. It should come as no surprise that ‘cat people’ understand these often subtle differences in tone and pitch better than others.

Short meow or mew: standard greeting. “Hello!”

Multiple meows or mews: excited greeting. “Great to see you!”

Mid-pitch meow: Plea for something. “I’d like to eat.”

Drawn-out mrrroooow: Demand for something.

“Open the door NOW.” Low-pitch mrrrooooowww: Complaint of a wrong you have done. “Hey – my bowl is still empty!”

High-pitch RRRROWW!: Anger or pain. “That’s my TAIL you just stepped on!”

Waste co-ordinator is ‘vital’ to councils WASTE services in the wider region will strongly benefit from an extension of its Regional Waste Management co-ordinator service, should a funding application be successful.

Central Local Government Region (CLGR) executive officer, Anita Crisp, said the position, filled by Vanessa Loechel, based in Minlaton, has been of vital support to the CLGR member councils.

“The biggest issue country councils face universally is lack of resources,” Ms Crisp said.

“The general trend for councils is to find value-adding to what they do through better resource sharing and more collaborative approaches. That can only happen if there are additional resources to help make that happen.

“Staff are multi-functional and stretched to capacity as it is, so being able to find additional time to work outside their council and co-ordinate effort over other councils is difficult to do.

“That’s where the resources, such as a waste co-ordinator, really make that additional leap to being able to support councils to work more collaboratively.

“That’s the whole point of the CLGR. “It helps us dedicate time and re-

Ms Crisp spoke highly of Zero Waste SA’s work with regional councils to date.

“That agency has been quite effective in its objective, and from a local government perspective, I think there has been quite a good working relationship and rapport with Zero Waste SA,” she said.

“Zero Waste probably wouldn’t have made this funding call if they weren’t confident they would be awarding funds.”

• Sustainability, Environment and Conservation Minister Ian Hunter has announced grant funding for industry to better tackle waste recycling and reprocessing.

“The $2.07 million in funding, offered through Zero Waste SA, aims to boost infrastructure investment in metropolitan and regional areas of South Australia,” Mr Hunter said.

“The grants are for new and existing facilities in metropolitan Adelaide that recover materials for reprocessing or significantly reduce the amount of waste going to landfill.

Lion-sized effort at Mallala oval

ABOVE: Lions district governor, Don Pritchard, Mallala Lion Neil Kakoschke, Lions chairman, Glenn Herbert, with local earthmovers, Col and Dave Davis who donated their expertise

MALLALALions officially handed over the recently built public toilet and shower facility at the town’s sporting precinct to District Council of Mallala last week.

DCM chief executive officer, Charles Mansueto, said reports from the Lions club indicated the facility had been an added asset, with many travellers utilising the camping grounds since the ablution block was built.

“After speaking with the Lions club, they said it has been used quite regularly, which brings people to the community to spend their money in local businesses as a result,” Mr Mansueto said.

Council has since inherited the cleaning costs of the ablution block, which was estimated to be about $3000 per year, which will ensure the facility is cleaned a few times a week.

Mr Mansueto said council would also take on the responsibility of general maintenance of the building.

The Lions club remained in charge of collecting the deposit from campers to borrow a key for shower access.

Plans were unveiled in May last year, following several years of discussions amongst Lions members.

The club steadily put money aside for the project, with the project originally forecast to cost about $80,000.

Julie shares her journey after tragedy Balaklava mother Julie Ruiz began asking questions after her husband’s severe depression lead to his death last year, and is still seeking answers.

She will offer some key messages at a community forum, “Let’s Get the Region Talking” tomorrow (Thursday) at Clare Sports Club from 7.15pm to 9.15pm.

Regional residents are invited to the forum supported by State MP for Frome, Geoff Brock, to hear inspiring guest speakers and provide a starting point for you and your family to start talking about issues around mental health and wellbeing.

Mrs Ruiz and her husband Barney had been together for 30 years and in that time had a wonderful marriage.

Mr Ruiz suffered an horrific workplace accident in December 2003 which led to depression and a gradual personality change.

“There were a number of factors which changed him – medication, returning to

REVIEW

Nan Berrett reports: work too soon and alcohol consumption,” Mrs Ruiz said. “He became unpredictable, angry and volatile. He threatened suicide in October 2011 and he was admitted to hospital, but released the next day.”

In the next few months Mr Ruiz was admitted to hospital several more times, but always released after an overnight stay.

He was diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder in 2007 and began treatment, but continued to threaten self-harm until his death on February 17, 2012.

“I never stopped loving him and my love for him was unconditional. “On the day he died, the local police sergeant came and straight away I knew – it was the worst day of my life.”

I started searching for answers. I spoke to doctors and mental health professionals.

Surprises at ‘Hampstead Hall’ If you are up for an entertaining evening of amateur dramatics, it is recommended you check out “Hampstead Hall,” a play performed by the Owen Community Theatre Group.

Local playwright and director Ann Sullivan has created a delightful commentary on the opulence of the family who lived at Hampstead Hall and the impact of world events on their life tyle and friendships with interesting twists near the end.

The troupe obviously enjoys performing together as they portray an interesting array of characters, including the fickle well-to-do wife, doting husband, a dashing rouge, bevy of friends

(Amii Moore, Ceri Glenie, Jim Silkstone, Ashleigh Fritz, Ellen Fry, Meagan Couley), who don’t want to miss out on a good time and a faithful butler played by Teigue Porter.

Emma Fry and Shaun Silkstone are convincing as the Hampsteads. James Sullivan plays a flirtatious and roguish family “freind.”

Sally Fritz plays a very convincing overbearing mother.

The audience laughed out loud throughout the play.

The final two performances are on this Friday and Saturday (May 24 and 25) at the Owen Town Hall starting at 8pm, tickets are available at the door.

Plains Producer, Wednesday May 22, 2013

“I couldn’t believe that a man who was so sick could just fall through the cracks.”

Mrs Ruiz said she had never blamed her husband’s doctors for what had happened because she didn’t believe her husband ever revealed the extent of his depression to them.

“But I’ve gone on this quest – I feel I have to do something to make suicide not be a dirty word.

“There were more than 300 people at Barney’s funeral and 95 per cent of them wouldn’t have known there was anything wrong with him.

“People who know me will cross the street when they see me rather than stop to chat because they don’t know what to say to me.”

Last year, Mrs Ruiz was invited to the Back to Basics group to help create mental health awareness in the community.

“This group was brought together because at the time there were about three local

suicides, leaving family members with questions,” she said.

Mrs Ruiz will share some of her personal story at the forum next week, while guest panel members include Beyond Blue ambassador, barrister and author Greg Barns, Parliamentary Secretary to the Premier Leesa Vhlahos MP, Clare medical practitioner Dr Michael Nugent, SA Police Superintendent Yorke & Mid North LSA Scott Denny, Sevenhill and Riverton/Manoora Catholic Parish Priest Father Paul Fyfe, SA Ambulance Service clinical team leader Tori Butler and Country Health SA Local Health Network mental health team leader John Bannister.

‘Fancy a cuppa?’

They did – and helped fight cancer SCONES, cupcakes, savoury sandwiches, mini muffins and litres of Earl Grey flew off plates and into local stomachs at Balaklava’s Biggest Morning Tea event at the town hall.

Balaklava Lions Club secretary, Kossie Chegwyn, said 142 people flocked to the hall to enjoy the huge bounty of treats on offer last Friday.

“It was fantastic how people rallied behind us, particularly with all the food that came in,”

she said. “We also had lots of items on the trading table, whereas it had been a bit light on over the past couple of years.”

Mrs Chegwyn said contributors ranged in age from 16-year-old students to the grannies of the community.

She thanked the many people who helped out on the day.

“It is probably the one time a year where the whole community comes together,” she said.

“Virtually once a week,

someone we love or care for is diagnosed with the ‘big C’ or is being treated for it.

“By coming to the morning tea, supplying us with food or buying some, all the money goes to cancer research, so this is a great way people can feel like they are helping.”

Guest speaker was Amy Harding, of the Cancer Council of SA. Special “big morning tea” cups and mugs can be purchased at various George street traders.

School and community rally from darkest day I

BALAKLAVA CCC

Riley Pannell enjoys the sandpit at BCCC.

Balaklava High school principal, Mark Healy, outlines the recovery process after the fire in April.

t has been a credit to the school community, that, all things considered, the term has started smoothly.

There can be no doubt the last couple of months have been very difficult but a hallmark of a good, vibrant community is its preparedness to pick itself up from adversity, rally together and actively seek, in a genuine spirit of positive support and co-operation, to get on with life.

The responses following the recent school fire have certainly demonstrated a resilient, positive, flexible and, above all, supportive school and broader community.

This is something of which we can be immensely proud.

While I know many of the following will not want to be acknowledged, the immediate donation of packing boxes from Richard Mitchell Removal and Storage, the offer and provision of classroom space at Balaklava Primary School, provision of morning tea to staff by the Balaklava

Key entry dates INSPECTING damage on the morning after the fire on Thursday, April 18, are principal, Mark Healy and Balaklava CFS member, Chris Cowan.

BALAKLAVA HIGH SCHOOL Uniting Church, the donation of $1000 to the school by local company Grainflow, Kossie Chegwyn making delicious sandwiches to ease the load on the day after the fire, the great many phone calls from old scholars, community members, businesses and other schools expressing their concern and support, the many school staff giving significant swathes of their holidays to ensure the school term could start as normally as possible, all demonstrate a fine community and, indeed, the pride

and regard this school has in this community.

As I have already expressed elsewhere, I cannot thank enough the actions of our local police and CFS. Their prompt and professional actions averted vastly greater damage to the school.

Again, on behalf of the school community, a heartfelt thank you.

Some redeployment of existing classrooms has been necessary to accommodate space lost as a result of the fire.

Any minor reconfiguration work has been largely completed and all classes impacted by the fire, as of Monday were conducted on-site and room usage will remain consistent until the rebuilding program is completed.

The school is in discussion with DECD Assets Services to explore facilities solutions.

It is anticipated a new building, likely to be located on the now vacant site, will be constructed to accommodate Drama and potentially, Music.

I will keep the school community involved and informed as this rebuilding process is worked through.

ATTENTION – parents with children aged three and four years. Have you checked when your child can start preschool and school?

National changes, enforced in early 2013, stated children could only start preschool (kindy) in Terms 1 and 2. From 2014, all children will start preschool and school on the same day– the first day of Term 1 only.

Director of Balaklava Community Children’s Centre (BCCC), Dale Gathercole, is concerned parents have “missed the boat” with the key dates for preschool entry being overlooked.

“If your child was born before April 30, 2009, they can start school in Term 1, 2014, and should already be at kindy,” said Dale.

“At BCCC, we provide children with a wonderful opportunity to develop social skills, intellectual growth and social and emotional well being,” Dale said. “Children receive rich play-based educational learning experiences before starting school.”

The centre has been freshly repainted, the outside dividing fence line has been removed, an outdoor children’s sink is now installed, there’s additional paving around the sandpit and the chook yard has been completed.

Brie, our new centre cook, has settled into her new position and both children and staff have really enjoyed her cooking and are looking forward to some of the new recipes, like the South African mince dish, Hawaiian Chicken and noodles and some winter soups.

With the fence gone, all children accessing the centre have the opportunity to engage in a larger, more dynamic environment to meet their individual and developing needs and interests.

All children work with university-trained teachers, diploma qualified educators and Certificate three educators.

Rams devastate Eagles REPORT: Les Pearson VIRGINIA enjoyed a 144-point decimation of a Hummocks-Watchman Eagles side that failed to turn up on Saturday at Virginia.

Key forward, Brendon Niklaus, continued his amazing start to the season for the Rams, booting nine goals in the belting, taking his season tally to 41 from five games.

Virginia kicked 17 of its 30 goals in the first half, the match effectively over at half time.

“I definitely didn’t think it would be that easy but we wanted to send a message to the competition this week, as the boys were pretty disappointed with last week’s efforts,” Rams coach, Joss DenEngelse said.

“We did a bit of commando-type training this week to get the lads focused in the mind and it looks like it paid dividends.

“I think the boys really embraced it and took it on board.”

The Rams increased their lead at every change.

“For us, it was something different as we haven’t been able to put teams away in the past but putting the opposition away was a big focus on the weekend,” DenEngelse said.

With a target of 70 tackles for the match, Virginia recorded 65, a fair figure considering the Rams generally controlled the match.

“I don’t think we gave them the chance to play well at all.”

Virginia scored 38 times from 53 forward 50 entries, HWE managing 13 shots from 31.

Eagles coach, David Cluse, was understandably ashamed of the result.

“They know it was unacceptable

and we had a quick chat about it after the game,” he said.

“We were too reactive, too flatfooted and we had players unwilling to play their roles.”

With the margin swelling beyond 70 points at half time, Cluse changed tact.

“At that point, I wasn’t worried

about the score,” he said.

“It was a good opportunity to try and give some young guys a look in some different positions.”

Justin Cicolella, named the Eagles’ best player, went head to head with Virginia’s Caleb Howell.

“I just thought we would put our best on their best and it was good to

watch,” DenEngelse said.

Cluse sent Cicolella forward in an attempt to free the classy midfielder up.

“He was outstanding and was getting tagged heavily again, so we pushed him forward and tried to use him through there,” Cluse said.

He was also unhappy with a few verbal exchanges between a couple of Virginia players and Cicolella.

“He copped some harsh words from a couple of nobodies from Virginia,” Cluse seethed.

“From a coaching and spectator’s point of view, a few of those lads need to pull their heads in and go have a good hard look at themselves.”

Cameron McKinnon again emerged as HWE’s main avenue to goal, finishing with three majors.

“We didn’t use the ball through half forward quickly enough but he battled hard,” Cluse said.

“The defenders were quite good under relentless pressure and Tom Forrest did a good job on Niklaus for a quarter and a bit.”

DenEngelse was glad to see a solid team performance.

“When you have 14 or 15 blokes winning their positions, you will win most games,” he said.

Ben Russell was named the Rams’ best player.

“His first half got us up and going and he’s such a smart player,” DenEngelse said. “(Anthony) Bascombe also got three of our first four goals, so it was pleasing to see that.”

EAGLES Brad Higgs and Mitch Nicholls can’t quite stop Ram Chris Campbell getting a kick away.

Bombers on a roll REPORT: Les Pearson • From back page “We knew they were a much improved side and they showed that on the weekend.”

Shane Hanson’s kicking from set shots was a feature, ending up with four majors.

Balaklava small forward, Ryan McPharlin (three goals), jagged goal of the day in the last quarter, rolling through a clever left-footed snap from tight on the boundary line as a small highlight for the home crowd.

While satisfied, Barnett felt there was still more improvement in his team.

“I wasn’t really happy with our last quarter to be honest as we made some sloppy decisions and our ball use wasn’t very good,” he said.

He was more than appreciate of the Bombers’ defence line, Tom Would outstanding across the half back line.

“His use of the ball was really good and he is also a good reader of the play,” Barnett said.

Craig Young was again solid, while recruits Toby Hasledine and Justin Zanandrea provided plenty of rebound.

“Each week he (Zanandrea) is getting better and starting to understand Adelaide Plains football is a more contested brand,” Barnett said.

Ruckman James Sullivan was a welcome in, while Matt Good, son of assistant coach, Mark, played his first game for the club after coming across from the Central District under 18s.

“He’ll be around for four or five weeks but he might just end up back in town,” Barnett said.

Peckers too good for the Bombers under 17

Balaklava got away to a flyer with five goals to nil in the first quarter, Charlie Arbon instrumental in the quick start.

Hamley’s highlight was Ayden Poulton making good position and working hard to stem the flow.

Hamley showed some good fight in the second quarter, managing to restrict the flow of the Peckers to four goals and putting some pressure on Jacob Wehr and Bradey Krieg, resulting in a point.

The third term resulted in goals to Steven Tannock, Jacob Butterfield, Harrison Veitch, Ryan Wandel and a top goal from Arbon from 47 metres.

Through all of this the Hamley lads continued to fight it out, but were a victim of the Peckers onballers who just swept the ball away all day.

Bomber Tyler Darwin sparked up and battled gallantly at full back.

Three quarter time saw the introduction of the Fair Play rule and Veitch and the two Spiesseggers went over to Hamley’s side.

James and Lachy appeared to enjoy taking on the Balaklava boys, showing some great skills that converted to two goals for Veitch.

The last quarter was very even with three goals apiece.

It goes to show that Hamley just need that little bit extra fire power to make them more than competitive. Well done lads, keep plugging away.

Obviously Charlie Arbon must have had lice or a ‘BO’ problem on Saturday, as nobody could get near him all day! And one would think he had to take the three points from the umpires.

Tigers make Magpies fight for the victory REPORT: Les Pearson

RAM Mathew Young spoils a mark attempt by Eagle Leigh O’Donohue in Saturday’s A grade clash at Virginia.

MALLALA consolidated its position in the top four with a hard-fought win over a plucky United outfit at Mallala on Saturday, the Magpies running out 33-point winners.

Despite controlling the match early, the two teams were locked at the first break and United then took a small lead into half time, sending shockwaves through the Mallala faithful.

Also feeling shockwaves was Magpie midfielder, Liam Whitwell, who was ironed out by Heath Pym in the first half.

Whitwell was set up by a bit of a “hospital handball” from a teammate, who probably owes him a beer or two.

Mallala coach, Steve Lubcke, said his team wasted opportunities to kill the game off early.

“We had nine shots at goal before they registered their first shot, so we had the opportunity to bury them but left the door open and late goals in the quarter closed the gap,” he said.

“We didn’t apply enough sustained pressure.

“There was a lot of congested football and they tightened right up on us.

“I was a bit disappointed with our forward entries as we weren’t hitting our targets up well enough.

Final score mallala 13.20 (98) d UNITED TIGERS 10.5 (65) Best: Mallala - A. Bruggemann, D. King, J. Wildbore, J. Birchmore, J. Earl United - K. Ettridge, C. Faulkner, H. Pym, S. Harding, B. Shimmin, B. Graham

“We were playing into their hands a bit by kicking into packs.

“We had to break the game open by using our type of play and not being dictated to by them.”

Ben Parish was missing from the Mallala forward line with work commitments, while gun midfielder, Joel Montgomerie, was rested on the back of a hamstring niggle at training.

“We erred on the side of caution with him but if it was a final, he would have played,” Lubcke revealed.

Brad Griffiths and Matt Saunders were ins for Parish and Montgomerie.

The Tigers welcomed Ben Sobey, Matt East and Mark Pym into their team, although Pym and East both reinjured themselves during the match.

United coach, David White, said his team found some voice in the second quarter after giving Mallala a head start early.

“Our start wasn’t very good,” he said.

“To the lads’ credit, they rallied and worked hard in the second quarter to take a

lead into half time.

“We had to try to put pressure on their ball carriers but it wasn’t so much about congesting the game.

“We had to be more accountable than we have been at times in recent weeks.”

Brad Shimmin was sent off before half time but it was United that stepped up a gear.

“We played the better footy with only 17 on the field, which was interesting,” White said.

Mallala came out a determined unit after half time and broke the game open “The first half of the third quarter was where most of the damage was done and it stayed that way for the rest of the game,” White said.

“They probably had five walk-in goals from turnovers in our back half.”

Magpie forward, Angus Bruggemann, began to get a grip on the game and was a key contributor.

“He usually works up high on the ground and with Parish out, he worked up the ground a lot higher,” Lubcke said.

“He got quite a bit of the ball as that next link going

into our forward 50.

“Everything goes to ground if he doesn’t take it.”

Unheralded defender, James Wildbore, was great for Mallala, as was Jake Birchmore.

“James has clean hands and good skills,” Lubcke said.

“Every club has these sorts of guys that often go unheralded but do their job each week.

“Birchmore was really composed down back again and Jordan Clements was also excellent.”

Koby Ettridge continued his rich vein of form for the Tigers, booting seven of United’s 10 goals.

“We tried a couple of different options on him but they didn’t quite work out,” Lubcke said.

“It’s uncanny how he can find the football and I don’t think he missed too many shots.”

“It’s probably the best way to describe him,” White added.

“He appears to be out of position or double and triple teamed but still gets the mark.”

Cameron Faulkner was ominous for United and is showing signs of getting back to his dangerous best.

“He’s gradually getting over an ankle injury he got in round two and he’s getting closer to full match fitness, so hopefully he can build on that,” White said.

No easy win for Mallala in United encounter A grade

Mallala overcame some wayward first half kicking and stiff resistance from United, before getting up to record a solid 33 point victory.

The Tigers in front at half time but a 9 goal to 4 second half got the Pies home.

No Ben Parish or Joel Montgomerie offset by the handy inclusions of Brad Griffiths and Matt Saunders for the home team.

When Mallala’s first scoring shot hit the post, it was a sign of things to come. The ‘poster’ followed by four more points, all this on a perfect day for football, not even a hint of a breeze. Brian Montgomery got the Pies first, Mallala doing all the attacking. With some of the Mallala forwards having trouble kicking goals it was left to Sam Angus to show them how to score.

Angus with two in a row. United lifted and importantly found key forward Koby Ettridge. He had no trouble kicking goals and 4 in the first term got the Tigers back into the game and scores level at quarter time. Ettridge was a standout for United.

Angus Bruggemann imposing himself early on for Mallala, Dale King, Sam Angus, and Brad Hardie playing well. Liam Whitwell left the ground concussed, ‘Whitty’ taking no further part in the match.

Cameron Faulkner was starting to get a bit of the ball, Mikey Brown was busy, and Heath Pym let Mallala know he was there. United were applying the pressure.

Another Koby Ettridge goal and a bit of feeling was coming into the game. Again it was a Brian Montgomery goal that followed yet more points for Mallala. The Tigers rushed a couple of behinds and at 4 goals 11, Mallala were making hard work of it. More so when United goaled after a misdirected kick deep in defence. The Tigers by 5 points at half time.

Mallala were getting more of the ball.

Daniel Feeley with a goal but the Mallala score now read 5 goals 13, before the Pies began to get on top. Jason Earl, Jake Birchmore, James Wildbore, Matt Saunders and Robert Montgomery getting the better of the United forwards. With the supply to Koby Ettridge restricted the Tigers scoring options dried up. Goals to

Dale King, Brad Griffiths, Scott Hahn, and Angus Bruggemann, Mallala went to three quarter time with a handy 34 point lead.

After Angus Bruggemann and Scott Hahn booted the first two for Mallala in the final term it was effectively game over.

To their credit United kept plugging away, Ettridge with more goals and a single from Sam Harding. Fittingly it was Angus Bruggemann and Dale King, Mallala’s two best players that kicked the final two home team goals. As with their previous game, Mallala ran the match out strongly. United’s Koby Ettridge easily the best forward on the ground, but he couldn’t kick a winning score on his own, although he nearly did for half a game.

Mallala kept their winning streak on track with a strong 75 point win over United.

The Pies led all game and never looked to be in any danger. Again the Mallala defence were outstanding, restricting the Tigers to a solitary goal. Opposition teams managing just a tick over an average of 4 goals a game for the season.

Both defences were well on top early with neither team able to score in the first quarter. Mallala began to open the game up in the second term with 4 goals.

by Matt Starr, good play by Colin Robertson, and a clever grab by Travis Taylor, but it was never going to be enough to get United back in the game.

Early last quarter goals to Chris Bilney, Kale Jameson, and Blair Buchanan sealed the issue. Mallala bolting away with a powerful final term. Ben Moffatt had a field day.

David Pontt, Zac Hallion,Allen Sparks, Kale Jameson all with big games. Brett Jenkin, Ben Edwards, and Jon Clarke solid all day in the backlines. Kale Jameson in a rare move to the forward lines the leading goalkicker with three.

Senior Colts

With only sixteen players taking the field, United were against it from the start.

With a couple of Mallala’s better players donning the black and yellow colours, the chances of a more even contest was looking better.

The first quarter saw Mallala attacking the ball aggressively. United were battling hard but their defence was under continual pressure. Eight scoring shots to one told the story.

In the second quarter, Mallala continued on winning the ball out of the centre providing plenty of scoring chances for its forwards.

Ryan Konzag was leading hard at full forward being a focal point, kicking three for the quarter.

The black and whites were using the corridor well with Josh Watson and Jamie Good using their speed and skills to set up their team mates.

For United, Daniel Coombe, Riley Curnow and borrowed Magpie, Angus Clothier, were playing well. Harry Hosking presented well in the forward line and was a target for his teammates.

The Magpies kept on running in the third quarter, opening up their opposition and giving their forwards plenty of opportunities.

Ben O’Leary’s run down the scoreboard side of the ground, kicking to his brother Lachlan, who goaled, was a great team goal.

The Tigers continued trying hard and being competitive around the ground, but were being beaten by Mallala’s better skills

and leg speed.

Daniel Coombe read the ball well, and was especially dangerous up forward with two goals for the quarter.

Damien Reid was playing well, along with Brad Wilson in black and yellow colors.

Angus Clothier, back in the Magpies colours, was using his speed and agility up forward kicking two goals for the quarter whilst Lachlan O’Leary showed his skills by kicking one from the boundary line taking his tally to three for the quarter.

The last quarter saw Mallala’s Daniel Elliot rebounding well from the backline.

Josh Watson continued winning the ball out of the centre setting up his team mates.

Jarrad Dunstan kept on working hard up forward kicking truly to take his tally to three for the day whilst junior colt Riley Thorne kicked a couple for the quarter.

For United, Daniel Coombe showed his skills by kicking a good goal from the pocket and Harry Hosking was a focal point up forward, his persistence resulting in another goal for the Tigers.

Best players for Mallala were Jamie Good, Josh Watson and Brad Wilson, and for United Daniel Coombe, Damien Reid and Riley Curnow were all good performers.

In a low scoring affair, Mallala walked away with the win over United.

The young Tigers never gave up with some outstanding players like Connor Lane, Dawson Page and Harry Green to name a few.

Austin Kearns found out how dewy it was with his run and carry out of defence with a couple bounces slipping away from him.

Mallala had plenty of the ball early in the quarter, but the Tigers bigger stronger bodies of Connor Lane and Dawson Page in defence were making sure Mallala didn’t get the first score.

It took Riley Matchell breaking the pack with pace to score the first goal of the game.

Mallala’s quicker players around the ground kept United scoreless in the first quarter.

The second quarter rolled around and in a blink of an eye, United’s Nick McArdle, with an awesome centre clearance and long kick to Dawson Page, gave them their first goal for the game.

Mallala kept feeling the pressure from the big bodies of the Tigers with some great bumps.

‘Pies Anastacia Kearns, Tim Forst and Riley Thorne were attacking the ball well.

Although dominating the play with the ball in their forward line for most of the quarter, the ‘Pies only managed three behinds for the quarter.

In the ruck, Connor Lane’s big bump resulted in him being knocked down late in the quarter.

Mallala’s smaller players in Alex Howard, Jack Heaslip and Taejon Kreig were playing well and attacking the ball hard.

At the start of the third quarter, Mallala was up by 10 points.

Magpie Connor Walden was growing in confidence and took two strong contested marks early in the quarter. Austin Kearns had some great runs down the oval, providing plenty of attack early.

Number 17 for United tackled strongly to stop a certain goal for Riley Thorne.

Riley Machell took a strong contested mark and goaled his second for the game, some worrying signs for the Tigers camp.

A great quarter for Mallala’s Cody Norris and Jake Tiller.

Connor Walden kicked truly for the Magpies’ first goal for the quarter.

Riley Matchell’s great shepherd helped teammate, Jacob Baker kick a goal.

Mallala just couldn’t kick straight enough to finish the game off but were second to none in their defence.

United couldn’t get over the margin to beat the ‘Pies.

Late goals to Mallala’s Connor Walden and Austin Kearns, while Connor Lane slotted one through for the visitors.

Best players for Mallala included Austin Kearns, Riley Thorne, Riley Matchell, Cody Norris and Jake Tiller.

Best for Long Plains were Nick McArdle, Dawson Page and Connor Lane.

Peckers looking to turn it around Les Pearson previews round 8 APFL matches

Balaklava v Virginia

THE Peckers are staring down the barrel with a current win/loss record of two and four.

A loss this weekend will mean they go two and five, making things tough to recover from after round eight.

Virginia’s form is ominous, the 144-point belting of HummocksWatchman Eagles, a team that defeated Balaklava in round four, sure to bolster the Rams’ confidence heading into this contest.

Balaklava coach, Stuart Lamond, believed his team is capable of a win on the weekend.

“We don’t go into the match thinking we can’t beat them,” he said.

“We’ve had our own good run against them in the past of five or six games, which included a grand final win.

“They’ve been able to get a few back on us recently, so we will be doing what we can to turn it around.”

Talk of the town is how the Peckers can stop rampant forward, Brendon Niklaus.

Lamond said his team has two or three options. “(Simon) Nankivell has done a good job on a few key forwards in recent weeks but we’ll decide on that Thursday night,” he said.

“The delivery to Niklaus is an area we will be looking to affect and that comes with getting our accountability levels a lot better than they have been.”

Dean Storic should be right to play, while Mitch Daniel and Derek Friedrichs are both 50/50 propositions.

Lamond has indicated he will play against the Rams.

Chris James missed Virginia’s last match but the big ruckman should be in this week.

Rams coach, Joss DenEngelse, said he was anticipating a tough encounter.

“When you’re going to Balaklava, you generally know what you’re in for,” he said.

He is keen to ensure his team’s defensive set up is around the mark on Saturday, particularly after young Balaklava forward, Luke Guy, nearly broke the game open earlier in the year.

“We’ll try and get that one right from the start this time,” DenEngelse said.

HW Eagles v Two Wells

DESPITE a heavy loss at the hands of Virginia last week, HummocksWatchman Eagles have a strong sniff of a potential victory this week against Two Wells at Port Wakefield.

HWE coach, David Cluse, said the team had to put the weekend’s result behind them and move on.

A strong performance this weekend

would be the first step in that direction.

“We’re going to each game attacking it like we’re going to win,” Cluse said.

Dave Oswald should be back in, while James Mader is strong chance of playing, after an elbow problem kept him out of the team on the weekend.

Ash Lockwood is also a likely prospect to play, depending on work commitments.

Ruckman, Shaun Light, will be away for a little while yet.

Two Wells should be able to recall gun forward Lee Allmond to the team after an extended spell on the sidelines with an ankle problem.

The Roosters desperately need a win to turn the tables following three successive defeats and a loss on Saturday would also mean they would slump to a two and four win/loss record.

Brad Fitzgerald should be another addition to the Two Wells defence, after a foot injury kept him out in recent weeks.

Both teams have plenty to play for and they should also name improved line-ups on the weekend, auguring towards a tough contest.

United v Hamley Bridge

A RED-HOT Bomber outfit travels to Long Plains this weekend to extend their five-match winning streak against the Tigers.

Hamley Bridge coach, Ash Barnett, was more than cautious of a tough United team proving hard to shake for opponents of late.

“I think United is a dangerous side,” he said.

“Koby Ettridge is looming as one of the form forwards in the league and he’s definitely in white-hot form at the moment.”

Barnett is considering recalling rookie, Liam Henneker, back into the team, while Luke Slok, Angus Martin and James Frencken have showed solid form in the reserves.

“These guys will all come into consideration,” he said.

United coach, David White, said his team would have picked up some pointers from their most recent encounter with the Bombers.

“They were very good against us the first time but we played poorly,” he said.

“Our best can match it with anyone, I’m confident of that.”

Matt East’s re-injured hamstring means he will probably miss, while Mark Pym injured his other driver on Saturday, ruling him out as well.

The Tigers are being squeezed for personnel at the moment, injury testing the club’s depth, but everyone knows a Tiger backed into a corner is probably at its most dangerous.

SPORT v District

2013 Cup

League names Cup squads THE Adelaide Plains Football League has named A grade and Under 17 squads to select association teams from in coming weeks ahead of the Landmark Cup at Jamestown on June 8.

A grade coach, Ash Barnett, said the large senior squad was brimming with talent.

“We’ve probably named a few more than in years gone by but I thought it was a better way of doing it as you get a closer look at everyone,” he said.

“There’s some quality getting around the league at the moment, that’s for sure.

“There’s a good mixture there.”

A grade squad

Dean Storic, Lachlan Michael, Justin Michael, Todd McPharlin, Les Pearson (Balaklava), Joel Montgomerie, Christian Rimmer, Angus Bruggemann, Jordan Clements, Jake Birchmore, Ben Parish, Jason Earl (selector), James Wildbore (Mallala), Shane Hanson, Valor Thach, Craig Taylor, Kirk Heberle, Ryan Appleton, Win Thach, Toby Hasledine (Hamley Bridge), Cameron Faulkner, Ross Sharer, Koby Ettridge, Tyson Ettridge, Brad Shimmin, Mikey Brown, Heath Pym (United), Ned Seccafien, Andrew Hardiman, Tallan Leighton, Khan Leighton, Anthony Pontt, Sam O’Brien (Two Wells), Justin Cicolella, Cameron McKinnon, Nathan Greenshields, Sam Nietschke, Leigh O’Donahue, Adam Turrell (HWE), Brendon Niklaus, Chris James, Brad Robertson, Matthew Young, Ben Russell, Corey Stronach, Barry Wanganeen (Virginia).

Barnett will be looking to include plenty of youth in the 24-man squad, which will travel to Jamestown.

“We’ll be trying to field a fast team for one thing, as well as blokes who are capable of kicking goals,” he said.

Both squads will train on Wednesday next week.

The APFL Under 15 team will play this Sunday in the Central Zone Under 15 Carnival at Brinkworth Oval. The carnival involves teams from the Adelaide Plains Football League, North Eastern Football League, Northern Areas Football Association and the Yorke Peninsula Football League.

Golf BAlaklava

A slightly healthier field fronted last Saturday for our Marc’s Meats Trophy Stroke round, which was won, along with all A grade accolades, by mighty Merv Hameister, who clouted a winning score of 82/70. Young Willum Parkin (73/71) chased him home hot-foot, leaving wild Bill Lokan (83/76) to claim third place.

Standing around with faces like so many dropped pies were P. Thompson (87/78), D. Taylor (95/82) and R. Carney (97/84).

B grade bouquets bounced upon the bonce of bonny Bill Goudie (89/72), who headed Dean Trickett (95/73) who, with a handicap of 22, somehow forced his way back into these hallowed ranks.

Be that as it may, let it be written that Graham “Emu” Ackland (89/75) claimed third with no disputations. Left to sort all this out among themselves were D. Rodgers (100/76), W. Nagle (94/80), A. Manuel (101/80), J. Michael (100/81), M. Smith (96/81), W. Berry (100/83) and D. Barnett (101/84).

John Newton made a very welcome and victorious return to our C grade ranks, rolling home with a winning score of 100/74. The ever-resurgent Trevor Gilmour (107/75) claimed second place while Peter Friedrichs (100/77) slipped quietly into third. It all got a bit out of hand after that, but then, it’s only a game, innit? K. McFarlane (where’s he been?!)

101/78, Chris Hahesy (102/81), Moya Hayes (108/82) and storming home to secure last spot, M. Hahesy (125/97).

A single, solitary kosher Birdie was struck by Graham Ackland at the 10th, while Nearest The Pins were held by Bill Goudie (third), Merv Hameister (eighth), Trevor Gilmour (10th), Bill Parkin (15th) and Ron Carney (17th). Golfer of the Winter points went to Merv Hameister (6), Bill Parkin (5), Bill Goudie (4), Dean Trickett (3), John Newton (2) and all the other eager space cadets, one each.

Round Two of the President’s Trophy saw Merv Hameister beat John Michael 3/2, while in the Captain’s Trophy Bill Berry absolutely demolished Peter Thompson (forfeit). This Saturday we’ll conduct a more sober Stableford round for the Lower North Electrical Trophy, Judge Peter Freidrichs presiding over matters concerning who starts when and from where, with Peter Thompson ready to apply the good ol’ silicon to tearful eyes at the 19th.

Four-Person Ambrose Last Sunday the club hosted the 53-strong field for the annual Rotary Club of Elizabeth Four-Person Ambrose event, which produced the following results: “Gross Winners” (how appropriate!) in the form of the “Mangrove Munching Monsters” Merv Hameister, Rick Campbell, Brett Fitton and Ron Carney, with a score of 69 off the stick. The Nett Winners were Team Nagle - fellow Nurglers Wayne Nagle, Phil Robertson, Digby Addison and Dave Rodgers with 61.75.

Owen

Ten players set out on the quest for Owen’s Holy Grail last Saturday, as the first round of the Freebairn Putter got underway.

Spectators in their crowds arrived to watch another display of golfing at its best.

Owen has played host to this event since 1966. President, Peter Sullivan, said he had been trying to win the event for over 25 years. He had been runner-up many times but finally triumphant winning last year’s trophy.

Congratulations to captain, Brett Fitton, who managed to hold his early lead and win the day with a 79 off the stick nett 66. Vice captain, ‘Super Chook’ Ince, was runner-up 90/68 winning on a CB from Owen young gun, Jake Harkness, 104/68.

Then came president, Peter Sullivan, with 107/73, Les Hean 98/77, Len Beaty and Ian Freebairn retired after nine, Andrew Ince – injured – DNF. Kathy Harkness mixed it with the fellas playing nine holes.

There were no signs of bird flu as big hitting chicken farmer, Greg Gaze, returned playing for handicap. The bird man ruffled some feathers with a much improved 98 off the stick, coming home strong in the back nine to break 100.

Vice captain, Glen Ince, was bullied out of the Longest Drive on the first by captain, Brett Fitton. Vets Longest Drive went to…is it a bird?...Is it a plane?...No! It’s Les Hean with another enormous drive on the sixth. At this rate the club may need to test for performance enhancers! Pros Approach on the 18th went to Brett Fitton.

Mondays with Merv saw ‘Super Chook’ Glen Ince win the day with 41 Stableford points, then came Merv Hamiester 33, Brett Fitton 32, and a disgruntled president, Peter Sullivan, 29.

The clubroom was buzzing after the first Freebairn round as members, families and locals stayed back for dinner. It was good to see Life Member, Beth Harkness, show her support to the club proving that all members, past and present, are greatly valued. Thank you to everyone who came and for the volunteers who helped bring the night together.

Members wait in anticipation as the scrapes undergo a major refurbishment this week. Course manager, Les Hean, and treasurer, Ian Freebairn, are coordinating the project with the specialised help of local Graham Duncan.

A big blow to the heart of the ‘Plains as former Club Champion, Ron Page, has been sidelined with injury. The club is hopeful for a return later in the season and wishes Ron a speedy recovery.

Next Saturday: Stableford round, tee off 12pm, Mondays with Merv, Stableford round tee off 12pm, all welcome.

Remember, it’s not polite to pick up a lost ball while it is still rolling.

Hummocks, Hamley top of the table The season is beginning to look like a 2012 re-run, with Hummocks and Hamley the sides to beat. Hummocks defeated Virginia this weekend and Hamley won by nine against Balaklava. Long Plains are still looking for their first win, losing to Mallala by 15. Two Wells had the bye.

Virginia v Hummocks Hummocks’ coach, Sam Nicholls wasn’t taking any chances against the much improved Virginia side. Her team led from start to finish and maintained their pressure throughout the match.

“We really ran out the game,” said Sam. “Virginia were very accurate and their GS (Emma Flanagan) could sink a sweet shot.”

Emma won best player for Virginia.

Beth Reid was back at centre, with Sarah Young taking time off to recover from a knee arthroscopy.

Beth had a consistent game in both attack and defence and won best player for Hummocks.

Quarter scores (Hummocks- Virginia): first 14-7, second 23–17, third 36-27, final 54-36.

Balaklava v Hamley Hamley were fortunate to have a great first half as Balaklava outscored them by four goals in the second.

Hamley were ahead by 13 goals at half time with Amber Rogers (GS) again scoring the majority. Amber won best player for Hamley.

Hamley’s coach, Lee Barnett, was aware the

second half wasn’t their strongest.

“We were lucky to have a big enough lead in the first half to get us through the second half.

“We won but a bit disappointed as we need to run the whole game out.

Something to work on.”

Balaklava coach, Carolyn Michael, attributed her team’s improvement to a change in defensive strategy.

“This resulted in many turnovers, ” explained Carolyn.

“Our delivery to goalies was also better in second half with Sally Arbon GA and Emily Shepherd GS creating better space in the ring.”

Emily Shepherd won best player. Balaklava’s Lauren Michael didn’t play due to injury. Nei-

ther team made any positional changes.

Quarter scores (Hamley-Balaklava): first 1912, second 33-20, third 44-34, final 54-45.

Mallala v Long Plains A huge 34 goals were shot in the first quarter to leave Long Plains trailing by just two goals.

However, Mallala gradually stretched out the lead throughout the game to eventually win 62 to 47.

Mallala coach, Courtney Kerr, was pleased with the consistent work of her mid court, namely

Tracy Kennett C, Carla Jarmyn WA and Brooke Griffiths WD. “Their defensive pressure and attack to the ball really stood out,” said Courtney.

The umpires also noticed Carla Jarmyn, who was awarded best player.

Long Plains coach, Michelle Doherty, was disappointed.

“After a good start, we lost concentration and allowed Mallala to get away from us,” explained Michelle.

“Again, our leaders Jane McBride GS, Emma Laintoll GK and Mary-Jane McArdle

GD, were tough and battled all game and the younger members are working hard to get the experience and composure required to play at this level.”

Best for Longies was Jane McBride GS. Quarter scores (Mallala-Long Plains): first 18-16, second 33-26, third 47-36, final 62-47.

This Saturday…

Mal 4 – LP 3 The second quarter saw Mallala come out working hard from the start resulting in a handy lead. Long Plains Melody Bennett was providing good movement in the ring and was shooting well.

At the other end of the court Mallala’s Emma Charleson and Georgia Furst combined well and capitalized on their opportunities. Mal 13 – LP 4 Both teams made a lot of changes coming into the third quarter thus taking them a while to settle. Mitika HilliardFaulkner and Taylah Pratt

DEBRA Lambert about to pass for Hamley Bridge in the Under 13 match at Balaklava.

had a good tussle in centre, both creating good movement down the court.

Mal 21 – LP 5 The final quarter saw Mallala make the most of their opportunities but to Long Plains credit they never gave up. Bridget Farrelly took good defensive intercepts and rebounds. DeDe Garland going from WD to WA created more movement down the court.

Standout players throughout the game were Emma Charleson Mal and Melody Bennett LP. Mal 30 – LP 7 U13B: The scoreboard didn’t reflect the close and physical match it was. Both games fought the game out well with Long Plains winning by nine goals.

The first quarter was an even battled quarter with lots of opportunities in goals for both ends but no conversions for Mallala. Mal 0 – LP 1 Second quarter was well fought out with Long Plains converting more of their goal opportunities. Mal 0 – LP 4 Mallala brought on a new GA. The third quarter was a tough fought out quarter and the scoreboard didn’t reflect the time spent in the goals.

After numerous attempts all game Mallala GS got the first of the match.

Mal 1 – LP 6 The last quarter played out much like the rest of the game with Long Plains converting more of their goal opportunities than Mallala.

Standout players were Lucy Tiller Mal and Britt Lane LP. Mal 1 – LP 10.

CARLY Williams passes down the court to a Balaklava teammate, in Saturday’s Under 17 game.

All this came to an end on Sunday, but not before Bowmans was given a rousing farewell.

But, as the 520 Sir Malcolm Barclay Harvey The 520 Sir Malcolm Barclay Harvey pulled out of the Bowmans at Bowmans in 1983. station, its beckoning final whistle echoed across the Bowmans the railway controllers of the day platform for the very last time – ‘Time could have ever imagined what it is today – a bustling freight terminal on gentlemen please.’

Yes, it really was thirty years a very busy national rail line moving ago. Although there is no longer thousands of tonnes of freight, with a passenger service stopping at the line also carrying the Ghan and Bowmans, one wonders whether Indian Pacific passenger rail links.

Perhaps the most memorable feature of Bowmans was the Refreshment rooms, demolished several years ago, which catered for the great passenger trains of yester year.

Heritage Highlights

t was the end of May 1983 – 30 years ago – that the passenger train to Bowmans (via Balaklava) made its last journey.

The Producer of June 1, 1983, ran the following article: ‘Time gentlemen please – It’s the last train to Bowmans.’

The 520 Sir Malcolm Barclay Harvey steam train operated the last passenger service to Bowmans last Sunday.

After more than a century of existence, this tiny railway settlement is about to see the removal of the sole remaining link with Adelaide – the Balaklava to Bowmans line.

The new Adelaide – Pt.Pirie standard gauge line bypasses Bowmans.

In its long history, the station has seen two changes of rail gauge and

CRITICS are calling it “the worst thing ever recorded” and after one view, I would be inclined to agree with that.

The music video for Patricia Krentcil’s debut single, “Tan Mom”, rivals the old finger down the throat for its ability to induce vomiting.

Some media monitors would remember Krentcil from when she made headlines for taking her five-yearold daughter to a tanning salon.

Playing on the ensuring nickname she received from the debacle, Krentcil has decided to try to cash in on her ‘fame’ be releasing the single and music video.

The clip itself features several strange shots of a bikini-clad Krentcil, with two half-naked male ‘models’ draped over her.

The guys featuring in the music video do little to improve her image, as they

appear to be two average looking fellas found hanging out in a mall and offered $25 each to be in the clip.

The cost of production would have been lower than the number of insurance companies willing to take out a policy with Mr Magoo.

“Tan Mom” as a song is terrible, although it is hardly dissimilar to a lot of pop songs that do end up on the charts these days.

While Krentcil could be classed as ‘mutton dressed as lamb’, I would think most sheep would be offended by that comparison.

I’m more than aware most of these terrible songs are recorded solely to attract negative publicity.

To be honest, after viewing the video, I have come to the conclusion that would be the only aim for Krentcil, as it can’t be taken seriously and even her own awful lipsynching in the clip verges on

frightfully bad levels.

Not unlike a mushroom, this music video will feed on the darkness of negative publicity and etch itself into the infamous category with music fans and video watchers worldwide.

Live entertainment is a funny little business but I was able to see several different acts on the weekend at the Clare Valley Gourmet Weekend.

The Germein Sisters playing at Taylor’s Wines near Auburn were outstandingly talented and two of the three band members were extremely appealing on the eye. It was clear they drew inspiration from Irish act, The Corrs, as their music featured a heavy Celtic influence.

The Germein Sisters played a range of covers as well, with their own unique style, which appealed to me as something a little different.

DEFENCE PROOF & EXPERIMENTAL ESTABLISHMENT PORT WAKEFIELD: LIVE FIRING RANGE WARNING NOTICE Test and evaluation activities involving static firings and/or firings of naval and artillery weapons are conducted at the Proof and Experimental Establishment Port Wakefield throughout the year. The Proof and Experimental Establishment Port Wakefield is a vital Defence test and evaluation capability that has supported Defence since 1929.

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

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

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

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

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

“At this early stage, I’m working on approaching a few guys who can help with selection,” Barnett said.

“I’ll be picking guys who want to play, that will be my personal approach, we want guys who want to play.”

At least five players under 21 must be selected in the final squad.

“I would imagine there would be up to 25 under 21s in the competition that could make the squad,” Barnett said.

“It’s a big chance for a lot of those guys, as scouts often attend these carnivals.”
