APFL acts on abusive players, officials

A few weeks ago, Balaklava CFS officer Andrew Outram was one of the heroes of a school blaze. Today, he tells how he was lucky to survive as his home was destroyed by fire:

Les Pearson reports:

LIFE CAN BE CRUEL Les Pearson reports: A DEVASTATING house fire at Balaklava, which caused about $250,000 damage, left a local CFS volunteer with few belongings amongst charred remnants of his possessions last week. Balaklava CFS first lieutenant, Andrew Outram, was one of the heroes involved in preventing the Balaklava High School from burning down following an arson attack recently. When a fire started in his

Centenary Street home about 2am last Wednesday, he was lucky to escape with his life. “When I woke up, it felt like someone was choking me,” Andrew recalled. “My room was already full of smoke and the alarm was going off as well. I ran straight out the back door.” Andrew’s children, Tynan (six) and Candice (two) were staying with their mother, Carley, at a

different home having moved out barely a week earlier. “The flames were coming out of the window of Candice’s bedroom, hitting the top of the verandah,” Andrew said. He ran across the road to wake neighbour and fellow CFS volunteer, Todd Robertson, but with his lungs full of smoke, staying conscious proved a problem. “I kept falling over because I was out of oxygen,” Andrew said.

“It felt like someone had winded me. I’ve never experience that before, it’s shocking. “I didn’t even see the fire truck rock up, I kept passing out. “I woke up in the morning with a heap of CFS blokes in my room. “I went back down to the house at 11am the next day and that’s when I got to see it all. “I was devastated. “There was nothing left.” n Continued Page 7

THE Adelaide Plains Football League is moving to stamp out a worrying spate of umpire abuse from players and club officials recently. An 18-year-old Hamley Bridge footballer was handed an eight-week sanction by the APFL tribunal last week for abusing umpires during the senior colts match between Hamley Bridge and United at Long Plains. The player will serve two weeks of the sanction, with the remaining six weeks suspended as part of a good behaviour bond until the end of the season. The two field umpires, both junior umpires recruited from a neighbouring league this season, reported the player, who was running water for the senior colts team at the time of the incident. APFL tribunal secretary, Greg Tucker, said the reporting umpires warned the water runner for coaching, which prompted an expletive-filled tirade in response. “They were gobsmacked; they were shocked,” APFL umpires coordinator, Doug Tallboy said. Three out of four cases heard by the league’s tribunal this year have been for umpire abuse, including the most recent eight-week suspension handed to a goal umpire from Virginia. APFL president, Brad Busch, said it has been an issue, particularly during senior colts games, this season. Mr Busch said a person who had been around the league for a long time told him the language and conduct from players and officials during colts games had never been heard before. “I don’t think, as a league, we have seen it like this before either.” Mr Busch said neither the umpires, nor the league, will tolerate umpire abuse from players or club officials. “It gets to the stage where we know umpires won’t get it right all the time. “But you’ve got to have them. n Continued Page 4

Farmer doubts vegie push INFRASTRUCTURE and water supply issues will be major hurdles for a proposed 20-kilometre northern shift of the state’s horticulture hub at Two Wells and Virginia, according to a broadacre farmer in the firing line. Jim Franks, who owns a farm between Two Wells and Mallala, believed it was nigh on impossible to shift fruit and vegetable growers further north to accommodate 38,000 new homes north of Adelaide. The proposal, under the State Government’s Playford Growth Areas Structure Plan, would mean much of Virginia and Buckland Park would become residential suburbia. This would in turn force

Two Wells, is broad acre farming but there are some small pockets of horticulture in the district, particularly along the Gawler River,” he said. “As a council we’re obviously supportive of the horticulture industry and are already working with the city of Playford in terms of protecting and enhancing the horticulture industry across the two council areas. Mr Mansueto said council had withdrawn its application of $15 million to round four of the Regional Development Australia Fund (to be announced in July) for the proposed Northern Adelaide Irrigation Scheme to pipe water from the Bolivar Waste Water Treatment Plant to Two Wells. This was due to the private partner pulling out. “Council now is looking at a revised project that still will deliver many of the benefits hoped for in the initial application,” Mr Mansueto said. “But to expand requires access to more water.” This is a pathway fully supported by Grow SA’s chief executive, Mike Redmond, who, although supportive of the plan in general, was disappointed the horticulture industry was not consulted. Based at the Virginia Horticulture Centre, Mr Redmond said if the industry was pushed north into what has traditionally been “sheep and wheat” country, steps need to

Bec O’Brien reports:

The State government recently announced a new plan for the north of Adelaide, which suggests 38,000 new homes will be built over the next 30 years in the area. Its Playford Growth Area Structure Plan will also see 100,000 new residents brought to the communities of Angle Vale, Virginia, Buckland Park, Edinburgh and Playford North and hundreds of potential jobs created. While the District Council of Mallala (DCM) was not mentioned in the plan, the region will no doubt be affected by such a population growth. DCM chief executive officer, Charles Mansueto, said he had not looked in depth at the plan but welcomed the flow-on possibility of population growth and possible jobs for the region. “We will be considering the proposed plan for the Playford growth structure plan and its implications in more detail in coming weeks,” he said. “If council feels it needs to put in a submission to the state government, then we will.” The expansion could possibly see the largely Virginia-based horticulture industry pushed north, effectively creating more industry in the district and potentially hundreds of new jobs, Mr Mansueto said. “A lot of our industry at the moment, particularly as you get past

horticulturalists in the area north, to areas considered more conducive to broadacre cropping. “I think it’s madness to put an urban spread on what is regarded as the food bowl of South Australia, at Virginia,” Mr Franks said. “This state seems to have a history of putting buildings on the best farming land in SA.” Mr Franks said the current horticultural area accommodates the industry well, with millions of dollars worth of infrastructure, such as packing sheds and greenhouses, and a steady groundwater supply. “If they split up land into small blocks, it will inflate land values and make it very hard for local broadacre farmers to

expand,” he added. “This also manifests itself with higher council rates, so it just doesn’t make sense.” The infrastructure demands to accommodate a forecast population boost of 100,000 in the area were another barrier, according to Mr Franks. “Look at the infrastructure they’re going to have to build,” he said. “This is the key issue to be able to support all those families. The state can’t afford it and it can’t afford to lose the food bowl either.” The area is also widely considered a notorious floodplain. “You only need to look back at 1992 to see what it was like there after that deluge,” Mr Franks said.

the industry a chance to grow in scale, use better equipment and implement more innovative practices. “We want to be proactive about this and we have been proactive,” Mr Redmond said. “I’m not arguing it’s necessarily the wrong thing to do, but if we’re going to expand into what’s currently the food bowl of South Australia we have to make some sort of plans for where the food is going to come from and where that industry is going to go.” Member for Taylor, Leesa Vlahos, whose electorate is greatly affected by the proposed plan, is urging the local community to have their say. She said more than 30,000 postcards would soon be delivered to residents encouraging them to be involved in the consultation process. “Providing employment, education services, public transport, emergency services, health care and recreation will all need to be considered for future developments,” she said. Mallala council already is working with nearby councils, including Salisbury, Playford, Light and Gawler as part of the Northern Adelaide Regional Collaboration to promote the northern region, including jobs. • Maps and fact sheets on the Playford Growth Area Structure Plan can be found at www.dpti. sa.gov.au/planning/playfordgrowth.

Rain gets the green going URBAN sprawl issues aside, Mallala grower, Jim Franks, said the region’s broadacre farmers could not have asked for a better start to the cropping season. Recent May rainfall has produced a green blanket of sprouting crops throughout the countryside. With most centres across the district recording 30mm to 40mm on Friday and Saturday, the rains were ideal follow up falls from the season-breaking drops earlier in the month. “Things are just fantastic at the moment and we’re just hoping for a good finish,” Mr Franks said. “We had about 27mm in mid May, which belted the country down a bit but these recent rains have made everything so damp that it’s all coming through now.” According to PIRSA’s most recent Crop and Pasture Report, released late last week, most growers in the district have finished seeding, while the remainder are about half way through at the latest. A reduced area of canola has been sown and an increased area of wheat is expected. PIRSA grains account manager, Dave Lewis, said with average rainfall now until the end of the season, at least an average crop should be possible. Plains Producer, Wednesday June 5, 2013

Rates down, as roads priority Residents will be spared slightly in next year’s District Council of Mallala draft Budget, with higher growth than expected in new developments cutting half a percent from annual rates. Following a special Budget meeting on Monday June 3, where DCM endorsed its draft 2013/14 Budget, rate payers will see a rate rise of 4.5 per cent, down from the projected five percent. DCM chief executive officer, Charles Mansueto, said the draft Budget reflected feedback from the community and focused predominately on basic infrastructure needs. Some of the capital works the draft Budget is considering include: 4 $4.6 million for the Mallala CWMS project (offset by a 2.6 million subsidy) 4 $80,000 contribution to Baker Road Ford upgrade

Bec O’Brien reports: 4 $100,000 to repair Salt Creek Bridge (Old Port Wakefield Road) 4 $30,000 for a whole district Open Space Management Plan 4 $72,000 for Thompson Beach Fire Protection Infrastructure Upgrade 4 $60,000 for a Local Drainage Action Plan 4 $1 million to improve local roads “The Budget is reflecting an increase in spending in road infrastructure,” Mr Mansueto said. “That has been an issue highlighted by the community on a number of occasions.” Some of the roads to be sealed or relocated over the next 12 months include Germantown Rd, between Gawler Rd and Hayman Road ($192,000) and from Dawkins Road to Gawler River Road ($337,000); Marshman Road ($130,000) and Elizabeth Street ($41,000),

in Mallala, and Pederick Road Lewiston ($300,000). As well as the above list of local road spending, the council has also budgeted a $1 million contribution with the Hickinbotham Group for the construction of a roundabout at the intersection of the Mallala and Old Port Wakefield Road, in preparation for the proposed new housing development north of the town. “There’s still a lot of money being spent but it is keeping it to the basics,” Mr Mansueto said of the draft Budget. “Growth in our new developments has come in higher than expected so where we were expecting one percent it’s now 1.5 percent, which has allowed council to reduce the average rate increase to existing residents to 4.5 percent, down from 5 per cent. “Council could use half a percent on new projects or enhance existing services but have

determined to reduce the rate increase instead. It’s an example of why growth is so important.” As the council moves to implement its newly-adopted differential rating system, residents will also incur a fixed charge of $100 and a $180 waste service charge which applies to properties accessing a two bin waste service, recovering the full cost of this. Residents who use the green waste service will continue to receive the service, with the cost recovered through general rates. A charge system for the green waste service will be determined and applied from 2014/15. Community consultation on the draft 2013/14 Budget will start on June 12 and closes July 4. A public hearing for community representations will be held at DCM’s ordinary council meeting on June 24, which has been moved to the Two Wells Community Centre at 7pm.

APFL to act on abusive players, officials

“

Pleading guilty – but time to hold the tongue

DOUG TALLBOY:

What people have to realise is you can’t go around ripping into umpires as it’s hard to keep them ... I often ask parents how they would like it if I went around yelling at their kid because he can’t kick or handball properly? • From page 1 I’ve met with the APFL Commission and they won’t tolerate it any more either. “They’ve indicated they wish to attend a delegates’ meeting to reiterate to all clubs that it won’t be tolerated. “It seems the under 17s matches in particular are getting a little out of hand.” The recent heavy sanctions for club officials caught abusing umpires are part of that no-tolerance stance. “We just don’t condone it at all and are working to stamp it out,” Mr Busch said. Supporters are also in the firing line if spotted abusing umpires at

matches. “Even if you’re not a player or a club member, if they’re spotted by a league official, they can get their club a hefty fine,” Mr Busch warned. “So, it’s up to the individuals and the clubs themselves to try and curb it.” Mr Tallboy applauded the league’s push to stop umpires copping verbal barraging from players, supporters and officials. “I’m not one to pull rank as bad umpiring can cause it, it can frustrate you,” he said. “What people have to realise is you can’t go around ripping into umpires as it’s hard to keep them. “I often ask parents how they

would like it if I went around yelling at their kid because he can’t kick or handball properly? “Every year I tell my umpires that players can ask what a decision was for but if they do it in an aggressive or abusive manor, pay another free kick, a 50-metre penalty, or when it suits, send him off – don’t put up with it.” Mr Tallboy was unsure whether it was a widespread problem or not. “It has popped up a bit but I hadn’t really noticed it. “The APFL board has been good by backing up the umpires, this is a good league. “I’m not saying it’s prevalent but if it happens again, well it does make you think.”

N the wake of all the suspensions and chaos created by umpire abuse, I feel compelled to come clean, put my hand up and say I’ve been terrible in respecting officials this season. In years gone by, I have always tried to hold back my criticisms, hide my disdain towards a decision, focus my energy elsewhere. Not that it bought me any votes in any association medal counts. I can’t explain why, but this season, I’ve let loose on several occasions, at both field and goal umpires. While I don’t recall swearing at the umpires, I have certainly aired my opposition of some decisions with a certain level of aggression, which seemed harmless to me at the time. Reflecting on those times now, I’m pretty embarrassed about my on-field behaviour. I have stopped short of personal attacks and the like, but my constant complaining almost borders on how a spoiled little brat would conduct himself. APFL umpires co-ordinator, Doug Tallboy, openly admits having poor patches of umpiring during matches. He says bad umpiring can cause frustration. I’m sure everyone, whether player, club official or spectator, agrees with this. It’s the next part where we’ve all

got to be better, and that’s holding our tongues or curbing our language when those frustrations arise. Footy is a passionate game, most sports are, so it can be quite emotional at times. I’m not going to repeat the old ‘no umpires means no game’ mantra, because we’re all sick to death of hearing it, no matter how true it is. Save the whole “sucking up to umpires in the paper” crap too. Grow up. Don’t think for a second I’m suggesting we go to the other extreme and run around with big smiles on our faces all the time like a pack of Care Bears. What I do intend to change is how I respond to match officials for the rest of the season. Maybe more of us should do the same.

Region’s ‘risky roads’ RM Williams Way, between Clare and Spalding, has been identified as the riskiest road in the Mid North region through RAA’s Risky Roads campaign. Nominations for this stretch of road were received from 14 people, with a range of concerns raised, including crumbling road edges, narrow lanes, and unsealed road shoulders. RAA Senior manager road safety, Charles Mountain, said each of the nominations highlighted the rough road surface. “Issues with regional roads often go unnoticed for a while, so we are thankful to the local community for highlighting this road to us via the campaign,” said Mr Mountain. “We will be sharing the respondents concerns with the relevant road authority.” Three major roads in the nearby Yorke Peninsula region were also identified by motorists in the survey, with the Bute to Kulpara Road, the Copper Coast Highway and the Kulpara to Maitland Road all falling within the top 10. More than 3,700 nominations were received from across South Australia, covering the majority of Adelaide’s arterial roads, and

Across the entire State, Adelaide’s South Road and Britannia Roundabout were ranked as the riskiest road and intersection respectively. “The survey results provide further validation to RAA’s continual push for South Road to be upgraded between the Superway and the Southern Expressway, as well as improve-

also identified a number of locations that are less well-known. In some cases we saw entire communities coming together to report a road they felt was unsafe. For instance residents approximately 30km north of Whyalla reported the poor condition of Point Douglas Road.” From here, RAA will liaise with the relevant authorities that maintain each of the roads that have been highlighted. RAA will also investigate each of the other nominated sites and will report relevant findings back to the road authority. In the lead up to September’s Federal election, RAA has joined with the AAA and other motoring clubs to Demand Better Roads from government. South Road was one of four key roads identified. RAA has also highlighted Augusta Highway (Highway One), Sturt Highway and Dukes Highway as part of its election campaign. • If you would like to add your voice to the RAA call for better roads and the importance of road safety, visit www.demandbetterroads. com.au/petition to sign the petition.

‘No surprise’ says Griffiths THREE roads in the Goyder electorate made the top 10 dangerous routes identified by motorists statewide under the RAA’s Risky Roads Campaign. Member for Goyder, Steven Griffiths, said it came as “no surprise”. In 2009, I prepared a petition on the condition of the State government roads across Goyder and calling for the government to provide additional funds for maintenance works,” Mr Griffiths said. “I spread it across all the communities, resulting in the petition being presented in October 2009 with 2396 signatures. “So, I am not surprised that four

years later, some of our roads that need money were included in the statewide roads the RAA survey has identified, as they are certainly in need of an upgrade.” The roads in question include the Bute to Kulpara road, Copper Coast Highway and Kulpara to Maitland road. “Every week people from across all areas of Goyder contact me about the condition of our road network,” Mr Griffiths said. “Since being elected in 2006, I have contacted the Minister many times on the need for maintenance plans, to know what the future expenditure will be and what areas of roads are prioritised,

while also encouraging the community to make the Minister for Transport aware of their concerns.” He indicated with the state election fast approaching, he would be lobbying hard for funding to address rural road concerns. “Good quality roads are important to all areas of society – and a key to the future economic opportunity of our region,” Mr Griffiths said. “With the 2014 state election only nine months away, people want to know that the political parties are going to commit and I will do all I can within the Liberal Party to ensure that additional money is allocated to regional roads.”

With chilly nights upon us, many people have cranked up their wood fires. With the price of power these days, it’s no wonder people are turning back time to the first type of heating woman ever invented! (Well, technically the first one would be more like a bonfire!). One couple from Balaklava’s Christopher street recently had a combustion heater installed, on the very day when the town was inundated with smoke. The installer thought this pair of fire-lighting amateurs might be in trouble, so he phoned to see if it was their fire which had caused the smokey problem. Clear(l)y it wasn’t – and the heater is a roaring success! But if you are out chopping or cutting wood with an axe or chainsaw, remember you should have another person with you, just in case. And speaking of chopping, it’s a great time to slice and dice all your vegetables and make some hearty soup. It’s easy to make, and freezes well for a later date! You can make any flavour you like, and it’s a great chance to use up any “daggy” old vegie you have sitting in your fridge. As we are meant to eat five fruits and two vegetables each day, soup is an ideal way to achieve that. Home made soups contain minerals, nutrients and phytochemicals – antioxidants found in plants that destroy chemicals in your body. So instead of eating junk, get comfortable with a big bowl of healthy soup!

Friendly bet a fund raiser

Tenayah Renshaw and Steve Guy, are having their locks lopped on Saturday, June 29, for a good cause – “Canteen”, the Australian organisation for young people living with cancer. Tenayah and Steve, aka Beauty and the Beast, had a bet last year, to see what Steve would look like with long hair. This turned into a fundraising event for Canteen, with both agreeing not to cut their hair for a year. Tenayah, a Year 12 student at Horizon Christian School, also researched the emotional and psychological effects of a woman’s hair loss while undergoing cancer treatment, and used this topic for her Year 12 research project. Tenayah is donating her long locks to make wigs for cancer pa-

tients. If you’d like to sponsor these two hairy people, visit www.everydayhero.com.au/tenayah_steve • And as you know, the ‘missing’ wheelbarrow has returned. But to make sure it doesn’t go off the rails again, Balaklava’s Thrifty Link has

donated cement to hold it down, while Balaklava Stitch Joint has donated some soil to rejuvenate the garden! Garden organiser, Carmel Miels, is thrilled to see community spirit alive and well.

“Kiss Goodbye to MS” cupcake stall, held in Balaklava last Wednesday, coinciding with World MS Day, was a roaring success, with more than $4000 raised for Multiple Sclerosis. Organiser, Purdie Barr, was thrilled to sell almost 60 dozen cupcakes. “We had 40 dozen cakes pre-ordered by local businesses, schools and workplaces, and sold another 20 dozen on the day, which was fantastic,” said Purdie. “We sold 27 dozen in 2012, our first year, and we almost doubled that this year, which was fantastic.” The majority of cakes were made and packaged by a lady in Adelaide, with locals Jenny McArdle and Eliza Cottle, and a couple of other Adelaide ladies,

The stall also had showbags for boys, girls and ladies, on sale. Bags featured a range of excellent sample items, including toys, lollies,

vouchers, soaps, scrapbooking packs, candles, playdough, bracelets, magazines, bottled water, and tea towels, all donated by businesses. Purdie’s motherin-law, Margaret Barr, passed away in May 2012 from MS. ‘This day is in honour of Margaret, and raises community awareness of the disease,” said Purdie.

Seven year old local boy, Henry Woidt, is also fundraising for MS, but through online donations via the “Kiss Goodbye to MS” website. Henry decided to join the MS fundraising efforts after his father, Daniel, was diagnosed with MS in August 2012. Henry started his fundraising only two weeks ago in late May, as part

of MS awareness month. He had a target of $150, but passed that in just 24 hours. With the MS logo of hot red lips, Henry tried to wear red clothes and collect red things in the month of May. “I also tried to eat something red every day in May,” he said. In a very short time, Henry has already raised a massive total of $925, and is still going! If you’d like to donate, visit Kiss Goodbye to MS website.

Last year, Balaklava’s Paul “Roly” McLean travelled north to compete in the Finke Desert Race, riding his Yamaha YZF450 motorbike. This year, his good friend, Mallala’s Scott Baker, is going with him to compete, but the big question is, who will come home with bragging rights? When their children starting racing a couple of years ago, the “big” boys decided they might as well join them! They have been in training for the desert race by riding in the state title motorcross rounds

at Morgan and Gilman, and in a recent practice race near Port Pirie. The 460km two-day race is run this long weekend. The pair met last week for a last minute practice ride, before heading off on Monday. “I’ve made a few improvements and upgrades to my bike, making it more comfortable,” said Roly. “I’ve also changed my tyres to flatter desert tyres.” Scott, who will be riding a Yamaha KTM350, said, “I’m looking forward to my first

Finke race, and I’m just hoping to finish.” Roly is hoping to improve his ranking from last year, when he came 319th overall, and hopefully come in ahead of Scott! Race numbers are apparently down slightly this year, from 600 to about 440. The trick for Scott and Roly will be to finish the first leg of the race, from Alice Springs to the small Aputula (Finke) community in four hours, otherwise they can’t make the return trip the next day.

Scholarship adds style to Chloe’s job ambitions

“I was excited and honoured to have won the scholarship,” said Chloe. “I would like to be a hairdresser when I leave school, so I’m going to use the money to pay for costs for my tertiary education and Tafe courses.” Scholarship recipients are provided with $2000 which they receive in payments of $500 per semester during years 11 and 12. Chloe was presented with her award last Thursday at a special presentation

celebration at the Mawson Lakes Function Centre. This year marked the 20th anniversary of the scholarship, which has provided support to 48 Aboriginal students. Chloe is looking forward to successfully completing Year 11 and is currently studying English, Maths, Drama, Art, Community Studies and Tourism, and later this year, will study the Research Project.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Think again on rates It would appearWakefield Regional Council has gone overboard with its proposed rates increases forecast for the next 10 years. Inflation is currently at 2.2 per cent and the rates should be kept around that. If council thinks ratepayers can afford the increases, then they should think again.

That was lucky the kids weren’t in there.” Wiring inside a closed circuit television (CCTV) camera box is believed to have caused the fire. “The fire investigations guys didn’t even talk to me about it as they could see the whole thing unfolding from that,” Andrew said. Todd’s CCTV cameras managed to capture the blaze unfolding. “We haven’t watched any of that footage yet as he said it’s pretty distressing,” Andrew said. He is now staying with Carley and their children. A special fundraiser to help Andrew and his family has been organised at the Royal Hotel beer garden on June 22. “The amount of stuff we have received from people has been incredible, it’s just absolutely enormous,” Andrew said. “We got a massive amount of furniture that I can pick up when I’m ready to find another house. “I’m not worried about

Both Port Wakefield and Balaklava CFS crews came in two days later and did the big clean up with me, they did most of the work.” Andrew said he rented

the home from his aunty and uncle but the insurance assessor suggested he was about $70,000 under insured. “You don’t even think of what sort of stuff you have in your house and what it adds up to,” he said. “If I was going to recommend anything to anyone, I’d be having a fire safe for all your family photos. “We lost all of them, Candice’s first bracelet when she was born, all the records of the pregnancy and ultrasound photos. “We’ll never get any of that back and that’s priceless.”

CULINARY ADVENTURE

WAKEFIELD Regional Council will be clarifying its fire permit conditions, with some confusion emerging given its supposedly differing policy with a neighbouring council. WRC Northern Ward councillor, John Wood, raised the issue at the May 22 council meeting, mainly concerned with the requirement to notify all residents within eight kilometres of the fire of the impending burn off. WRC community and development services manager, Chris Parish, believed it was only a requirement to notify local emergency services and immediate neighbours. Cr Wood, a farmer at Kybunga, said on speaking to Clare and Gilbert Valleys Council, the eight kilometre requirement applied. He said if this were the case, he would need to travel into another council district, over into the Sevenhill area, to notify residents amongst the hills of the Clare Valley of his burn. Fellow Northern Ward councillor, Greg Stevens, concurred with Cr Wood’s point, given some of his property borders on the outskirts of the Snowtown township. “Anyone within eight kilometres for me could be more than 200 people,” he said. Central Ward councillor, Owen Chapman, suggested the need for a uniform requirement across all council areas. “There needs to be some consistency across the district on this,” he said. “There can’t be one set of rules on side of the boundary, while on the other side, there’s another set of rules.” Mr Parish said he would seek clarification on the matter and report back to council.

Budget approval for grants AN article on Page 7 of last week’s Plains Producer referred to “cash for sports groups, halls.” Whilst it was correctly reported several funding allocations for various sporting, community groups and halls were listed on the agenda and voted on at this month’s regular council meeting, all grants made under WRC’s Sport and Recreation Facilities Program still need to receive final approval as part of council’s annual Budget expenditure. Budget proposals are expected to be discussed and voted on at WRC’s June meeting later this month.

Community gathering The morning church service at Owen for the Plains Community Churches on Sunday was one to remember, with the congregation being led by members from Adelaide West Men’s Choir. Members from Hamley Bridge, Windsor and Owen then enjoyed a luncheon before having a tour of the town, which included seeing, after recent rains, very wet wetlands! After lunch, Owen Town Hall was packed for the choral concert by the choir, together with some wonderful guest artists. Door takings and donations were split, with half going to an Adelaide West project, and half to Owen Community Church’s mission project for the Manji Foundation in Kenya. As mentioned in last week’s Plains Producer, the Community Church provided support to fire victims in Tasmania. Prior to sending linen and clothing to the people of Copping, (with Gavin and Alison Marshman), the Community Church members had also donated $1791, which was very generous and a great Community Church initiative.

A night to Live Life Loud Horizon Christian School in Balaklava is hosting its second “Live Life Loud” event on Friday, June 14. The night kicks off at 6.30pm with a preentry barbecue, then doors will open at 7.30pm. “Live Life Loud” provides an opportunity for young people to get together, have fun, connect, and encourage one another to make a difference in their communities, whether it be locally, nationally or globally. Young people from the mid north and Yorke Peninsula are invited to come along for a night of worship, games, food and music. The free event at Balaklava is one of four across South Australia over the coming weeks, with the aim being to build a healthy regional network of youth and church.

Pet Care

With Balaklava Veterinary Service. Ph 8862 2088

Cat’s bite worse than its bark Cat fights, and their resultant injuries, are a common reason for veterinary visits. Cats’ teeth are sharp, and when they bite, puncture wounds are produced. There is a tremendous amount of bacteria in cats’ mouths. The puncture wounds seal over quickly, and bacteria injected into the skin become trapped. Cat bites have the potential to transmit several life threatening infectious diseases to other cats. Examples of these include the feline leukemia (FeLV) and feline immunodeficiency (FIV) virus, Bartonellosis, and rabies. Antibiotic treatment, therefore, is an important part of abscess therapy. Occasionally, some bite wound infections do not respond to initial antibiotic therapy, and a bacterial culture and sensitivity test may be required. Cats that go outdoors should also be current on their vaccinations, especially rabies and FeLV. The best prevention is to keep all cats indoors and prevent them from roaming and fighting.

It’s soup season! THE weekend’s cool conditions signalled the start of soup season once again at Balaklava Church of Christ hall. For the past few years, two local women, former chef Julie Hayes and Tania Sandery, have prepared large amounts of free soup served on a Sunday afternoon to anyone in the community. “It’s just a relaxed afternoon, anyone can pop in at any time, watch the footy, have a game of pool or table tennis, have some soup and chill out,” organiser, Todd McPharlin said, adding the soup is ‘A grade material’, with flavour that needs to be tasted to be believed. Balaklava Church of Christ Pastor, Carl Haasbroek, said the afternoons were a great way to

Mallala’s recently-built public toilet and shower facility at the town oval was completed at a cost of about $100,000. Mallala Lions Club project committee said this this figure included materials and some labour costs. The Plains Producer on May 22 reported the project had cost $80,000. The project was completed with labour and monetary donations from many local clubs, and community members, including former Mallala Council CEO, Don Pitt, who now resides in Adelaide. Sam McArdle also donated his time as

It was slow in the beginning but it got going as it became known amongst the people in the community.” Julie started running the soup kitchen out of her own pocket but the church began to support it soon after. “She just wants to provide a service to the community, using our facilities,” Pastor Carl explained. “I think a lot of people perhaps thought this was the church’s idea of getting people to church, but

that’s not really the idea. Julie was really concerned about the community in Balaklava and for people who are lonely at the moment and as people discovered that, they started to join in and enjoy the company, and the soup.” The soup kitchen is open Sundays at 12noon until about 6pm, starting this Sunday, June 9, and running every Sunday afternoon until August 25. “People enjoy themselves, they chat and just enjoy it,” Pastor Carl said. “The soup is exceptional as well. “It’s an open invitation, anyone can come along and catch up over a cup of soup.”

Balaklava Business and Traders Association is holding its annual business dinner next Wednesday, June 12, at the Royal Hotel. Guest speaker is David Heinjus, from Rural Directions at Clare. “David is a Telstra Small Business winner, has started up a small business, and grown it into a mid-sized business,” said treasurer Andrew Manuel. “He ran an Entrepreneur course I attended a few years ago, and is an inspiring speaker. “There is no doubt it’s a tough time to be in small business and we hope business owners and staff will come along and network, be encouraged and leave motivated.” • RSVP this Friday for the dinner (from 6pm for 6.30pm start) by emailing andrew@plainsproducer. com.au Subs called Balaklava Business and Traders Association again is calling for membership subscriptions. Annual subscriptions have been suspended over the past three years as there was sufficient finances to fund the pageant, but this now is exhausted. “One of the main charters for the association is to part fund the Balaklava Christmas Pageant,” said secretary, Peter Guthberg. “The group is also available to members, council and other groups with issues that may affect the trading community as a whole.” “We are again invoicing traders a modest $50 to be paid to treasurer Andrew Manuel at the Plains Producer,” Peter said. Current committee members are: Marc van Kleef, president; Peter Guthberg, secretary, Andrew Manuel, treasurer; Kellie Hamdorf and Filip Scaffidi.

even labelled it a “crushing disappointment”. Firstly, Baz, why was the movie in 3D? There is absolutely no need for a tragic love story filled with epic house parties, conspicuous consumption of alcohol and fireworks to be in 3D. The story itself is surely enough. All it did was give everyone a two hour headache. So let’s just save the 3D for the superheros ok? Another huge disappointment was the soundtrack. If I wanted to hear three different renditions of Lana Del Rey’s depressing new song “Young and Beautiful”

- oh wait, I wouldn’t. Ever. There was one exception however to the movie and that was Carey Mulligan (Daisy) and Leonardo DiCaprio (Jay Gatsby). These two played their parts to a tee, and unlike the rest of the movie, they were not over-directed or covered in glitter to make them more interesting. Toby Maguire on the other hand should stick to playing Spiderman because his performance as the films narrator, Nick Carraway was less than memorable. The book is now the number one seller in the States however so there is always a silver lining.

Katrina Loy, Jackie Parker and Anne Read take a bow. I was lying in bed listening to the rain on the roof thinking surely no one will be walking today. But I knew I had to at least check. So I put on my raincoat and *drove* to the rendezvous location.

Plains Producer manager, Andrew Manuel, recently shed 10 kilograms in 10 weeks in a personal weight-loss quest. Now he wants to keep leaner and fitter – and his aim to have others join him has succeeded. Email andrew@ plains producer.com.au

I was tempted. The other two weren’t far behind and off we trotted. It was quite enjoyable walking in the rain. One of life’s simple pleasures we don’t often get to enjoy. On the weightloss stakes, there was a fair bit of headwind with the group of 18 losing only about five kilograms this week. But a loss is a loss. Alf Bennett did all the heavy lifting (again) with a 1.2 kilo loss, having nearly lost seven kilos all up. Astounding results. Actually, why most were eating their breakfast today, Alf was at the

gym pumping iron. He’s on a quest and there’s no stopping him now. I read a comment from a personal trainer I follow on facebook this week. She is getting frustrated with people using the term “tone up”. She goes on to say, “you can not turn fat to muscle. It’s like saying I want to turn oil to water.” Good point. “What you may be referring to is fat loss and muscle gain.” Her suggestion is to “use your time in the kitchen for fat loss, and your time in the gym for muscle gain.”

Advertising works for Donna and Darryl Donna and Darryl Gabbusch run the Port Wakefield Hotel. Their mission is to bring the hotel back to its former glory and, to this end, have embarked on a refurbishment program as well as organising various events and special evenings for their patrons. The Plains Producer has played an important role in their plans. According to Donna: “Working towards our goal for the future of the hotel requires a lot of effort and hard work. But there’s not much point in striving for excellence if we keep it a secret. This is where our local newspaper comes in. We advertise every week in the Plains Producer to keep our patrons, not only from Port Wakefield, but also all parts of the region, informed on our progress and the events we are holding. “For example, at the moment we are doing a weekly international night where we feature food from a different country each week. Our weekly ad lets everyone know which country’s food we are serving the

following week. So far the response has been excellent and we have had many comments, especially from people looking forward to the next international feast. “We find advertising in the Plains Producer is the best way to spread the word and the response we’ve had has been extremely encouraging. The staff at the Producer are easy to work with and very helpful, and the ads are professionally produced and just what we need.

NEWS v Two Wells, Lewiston

‘Aquaponics’ expert will share knowledge AndreW Dezsery, who developed an innovative “aquaponics” farm at Lewiston, will lead a workshop next month on the industry he has helped progress. Mr Dezsery, pictured, says the oneday workshop at Wirrina Cove Resort on the Fleurieu Peninsula will see industry experts “clear the misnomer of aquaponics and show its true potential for all walks of life”. “Growing food at home like grandpa used to do doesn’t have to be hard,” said Mr Dezsery, who has called his venture #1Aquaponics. It is now operating in the Riverland. He is urging growers from the local market garden and broadacre regions of the Adelaide Plains to attend the workshop. “Aquaponics has literally helped thousands of families get back to making food in their own back yard – even if the soil is no good, doesn’t hold water or you have concrete and asphalt all the way to the back fence,” he said “Growing fish and vegetables in a symbiotic fashion just like nature intended and using no additional fertilis-

ers, chemicals and harsh pesticides has always been a reality.” Since 1996, Andrew has been sharing the virtues of aquaponics to thousands through lectures, courses, videos and now with hundreds, even thousands of fellow advocates, Andrew says the news has spread to countries that don’t even have the media technologies we take for granted today. The workshop will be held on Saturday, July 13, and cover the “what and where” of aquaponics, disease issues and remedies, fish handling, environmental requirements and future licensing, bio pest control, plant husbandry, solar power opportunities, and taking the next level to commercial production. The workshop can be booked online at www.1aquaponics.com.au/aquaponic-1-day-workshop or call Andrew Dezsery on 0412 477 036.

special 4-page feature there’s more to know

New team offers all you need

he name might be the same, but there’s a new business partnership in town – Balaklava Building Supplies (BBS). Locals Shane Williamson, who has been in the hardware industry for almost 20 years, and good friend, Nick Durdin, who has been in the building industry for 22 years, have joined forces and bought the land and business on Gwy Terrace Balaklava, turning it into your one-stop-shop. Anything you could ever want for your home or business, from top to bottom, is now all in one spot. Shane’s experience and vast knowledge of general hardware and building supplies, with Nick’s experience in the building of housing and sheds, for residential, industrial and commercial purposes, have put these two in good stead to provide customers with sound, professional and honest advice. While the business is an independent hardware store, it is a member of the Hardware and Building Traders group, which gives Shane and Nick greater buying power with suppliers. There are 400 HBT members around Australia, and it is a very competitive group in the hardware industry. Shane and Nick have restocked the shop with a huge range of tools, parts, electrical and plumbing supplies, landscaping, fencing and building materials, automotive

SPORT v District

Roosters leave Tigers in their wake • From back page “Our pressure around the ball was quite good but they did get off the leash at times. “The ground was in reasonable condition on a very slippery day and it dried out a little later on.” Two Wells took an eight-point lead into the main break following a low-scoring first half and built a 16-point buffer at the final change. Rooster midfielder, Ben Spiteri, was taken to hospital before half time after copping a giant dob of mud to his eye. It was the only downer on the team’s performance, according to Thomson, after his team had been smashed in the contested ball department against United earlier this season. “I was pretty impressed with the on-ball brigade,” he said. “Not only them but every one of the 21 players in the team gave their all. “I couldn’t have asked for much more. “Ned Seccafien went in hard early and laid some good bumps, which really set the standard as captain. “Especially in wet weather footy, you find out who wants to play and who doesn’t.” White said his team were reasonable around the packs but once the Roosters cleared the ball, the Tigers struggled.

“We are still going alright in that contested area but reading the play has been a problem for a few of our younger players,” he said. “The whole backline was very good, I could have had the six defenders in the top six best players. “Nathan Starr is having a very good year. “Our midfield was a little bit down, so if you take that into consideration when looking at the result, there is a bit to look forward to. “We’re still learning what to do when the ball leaves the contest and it’s probably the only aspect that is holding us up to be honest. “That ability to anticipate what happens next. “It is hard but if you’re going to do it, you need to take some chances.” Bryce Hart showed some ticker for Two Wells, while Josh Osborne played a great game

for his new club, booting a goal and finding plenty of the ball. “He started on the bench, so full credit to him,” Thomson said. The team effort is exactly what he wanted to see on the weekend. “Not one player has been pigeon-holed to play A grade for the rest of the year, so they’ve got to keep performing,” Thomson said. Given the Tigers’ four goals came from four free kicks, the Two Wells coach believed his team were on top for a majority of the contest. “We were in control all day, which is the first time I could say that this year,” Thomson said. “There’s a few similarities there (compared to last year) and we’ve got the full squad back now, so there’s a lot of enthusiasm around the club in the last few weeks, which wasn’t there earlier in the year. “Our next game against Virginia is crucial. “If we win that and Mallala defeat Balaklava, we’re two games clear of them at the half way point of the season.” United still reserve some hope of cracking the top four in the latter stages of the season, with the expectation of regaining some injured players. “We’ll still be missing a couple after the break but the second half of the year will

SPORT v Football

Washed away Peckers win in wet conditions • From back page Justin Walker was taking control of the ruck duel but opponent, Tom Forrest, worked hard to take a number of contested grabs around the ground. S e v e r e l y u n d e rmanned, HWE coach, David Cluse, played his first A grade game since retiring two years ago, leaving an injured Justin Cicolella to coach from the sidelines. “I did minimal coaching on Saturday, only the pre-match address and some bits and pieces at the breaks,” Cluse said. “Justin was making a lot of the changes and providing feedback to players quarter by quarter.” Balaklava had put together a 29-point lead at the main break and had threatened to break the game open but the Eagles proved more than competitive. “We were after effort and set ourselves a goal to put in a good effort together,” Cluse said. “I felt we managed to do that. “We’re not clean enough with the footy and we’re not moving it on quickly enough

either, particularly out of defence. “I was happy with the tackling. “Our effort and attack on the body and ball, except for the Virginia game, has been strong.” The Peckers almost killed off the contest in the third term, kicking four goals to the Eagles’ none. Dean Storic’s influence around the contested ball, along with Lachy and Justin Michael, began to tell, while Hayden Walker’s hands got better throughout the day. Aaron Cocks added another good game to his recent run of good form. “I did think around the stoppages and clearances, we had our fair share and the guys were working hard to get the footy forward,” Lamond said. Justin Walker also set up well a kick behind play and continued his recent

run of good form as the number one ruckman. “It is important as it means we have the luxury of playing Hayden forward,” Lamond said, who was pleased to see his team extend its lead at every change. “From our point of view, it was about playing four quarters and not having lapses, which would allow them to get a run on and back into the game,” he said. The shift of Brenton Lamond forward in recent weeks has restructured the Peckers’ forward line. “He’s been pretty dangerous up there of late, which has been good,” Lamond said. “I think he’s enjoyed the freedom of playing in the forward line.” Youngster, Riley McDonald, also thrived in the wet, often putting his head where bigger, stronger players fear to go.

“His first half was pretty good and he tends to play well in those conditions,” Lamond said. For the Eagles, Dylan Cicolella was by far their best afield. “He plays mostly at half back, although he did play on the wing as a defensive wingman the week before, but he’s probably most comfortable at half back,” Cluse said. Forrest was also outstanding. “He’s been superb since taking on the ruck work in the last few matches,” Cluse said. “His attitude is fantastic and I don’t think he has missed a training all year either.” Jarred Manners and Todd Twelftree worked hard, while Tyler Williams took the game on in close. “His last couple of games have been pretty good and I put a bit of onus on him on the weekend,” Cluse said. The Eagles’ coach felt his young side still had plenty to learn but they were on the right track. “We’re trying to teach the younger players to try

and take the scoreboard out of the equation, just play the game,” Cluse said. “It is difficult to do, especially if you’re playing well and something goes against you and the oppositions kicks a few goals. “We impressed on them to persevere and be resilient with their footy, as there will be tough times but those tough times can turn to be good times fairly quickly. “We’re taking on the

motto that the harder you work, the luckier you get. “We want to be on the positive side of the ledger from now until the end of the year. “As long as the effort is there, we’re a chance every game. “We will be doing some combative training with the young kids to push for wins in the second half of the year.” HWE were again unlucky with injury though, Brett Price breaking his wrist while Scott Tre-

genza’s badly swollen ankle will need assessing. In the Peckers’ camp, the win was the first time Balaklava had backto-back victories this season. “We know, having played everyone, where we need to be to be competitive,” Lamond said. “Our focus is on the next three or four games, with some pretty important ones coming up. “We’ll need to get ourselves back up again for Mallala in two weeks.”

Balaklava run out winners senior colts Report by ‘EaglePecked’: Balaklava 9-9 (63) def HWE 4-4 (28) HW Eagles kicked to the north eastern end with a slight breeze in the opener. Dylan Irrgang soon snapped truly to open their account. Balaklava returned fire through Lachlan Speissegger, but the Eagles replied quickly courtesy of a ‘banana ball’ from Jack Hoepner. Jacob Butterfield snapped a goal for the visitors to close things up again and against the tide, Charlie Arbon kicked long for another major to Balaklava. Playing well for the Peckers were Lachlan Speissegger, Dillon Michael and Tyler Milne in defence. while Josh Appleby, Tait Nottle and William Angel started well for the locals. The goals dried up in the second quarter, with the game very much a battle of defences. The only goal went to HWE through Dylan Williams, keeping the game tight at half time. Both Speisseggers’ played well and while they often linked up well with Arbon, not all of Arbon’s kicks found a target. Chris Veitch was starting to gain control in the ruck

over Zac Scholz, and Appleby and Nottle continued to provide drive for the Eagles. In the third quarter, Balaklava scored two majors, while keeping HWE goalless. Arbon kicked his second, after receiving a good handball from Jacob Wehr and Dillon Michael goaled after a good pass from James Speissegger. Balaklava’s smaller players in Wehr, D Michael and Arbon were influencing the game, while HWE’s Appleby and Nottle continued playing well, as did C Veitch. The Peckers had opened a small lead and went into the last quarter with their tails up. In the last quarter, Balaklava ran the game out well, adding four majors to the Eagles’ one. Harrison Veitch got things started for the Peckers by marking a L Speissegger kick and converting. D Michael to Butterfield resulted in Jacob’s second, then H Veitch kicked his second on the run. Irrgang goaled at the other end taking his tally to two and the Eagles total to four. Finishing off a great second half, Wehr kicked Balaklava’s ninth for the match. Along with Wehr, Josh Harkness in defence and L Speissegger did well in the last quarter. Appleby played four excellent quarters of football and Nottle and C Veitch played the game out well.

SPORT v Football

‘Pies close gap after gutsy win • From back page Hamley midfielder and captain, Craig Taylor, was arguably the best player on the field, prompting Lubcke to enlist Dale King to keep a close eye on Taylor, while Jordan Clements also ran with him at times. The Bombers responded to Barnett’s pleas for a contest from his group at half time and closed the margin to 10 points at the final change. “We probably had 90 per cent of the play in the third quarter where it didn’t go past the centre circle but we couldn’t capitalise,” Barnett said. “Credit to them, they came right back at us in the third term and locked the ball in their forward half,” Lubcke confirmed. Jason Earl’s poise shored up the Mallala defence throughout the dour battle, with clean hands when everyone else went to mud. “Jason was fantastic across half back, chipping off many of their forward thrusts,” Lubcke said. “Blokes like (Bomber defender) Craig Young and Jason Earl, their class shone through on days like that,” Barnett added. Mallala added one further goal in the last quarter, the Bombers again scoreless in the trying conditions, to secure a gutsy win and close the gap at the top of the ladder. “Our first half gave us enough of a buffer to be able to control the game in the last quarter, even though there wasn’t a lot of scoring,” Lubcke said. “You really rely on the character of the playing group, which becomes the real driver in those conditions.

MALLALA’S Joel Montgomerie disposes of the footy as Bomber Stuart Gregory comes in to tackle, in the A grade game at Hamley Bridge on Saturday.

Final score mallala 6.11 (47) d hamley bridge 4.5 (29) Best: Mallala - J. Earl, B. Hardie, J. Montgomerie, J. Clements, C. Rimmer Hamley Bridge - R. Appleton, T. Haseldine, C. Taylor, S. Gregory, L. Slok, K. Heberle

“The want and work ethic to win is all you can ask of them. “Tactically, all you can do is put players behind the ball or shift guys forward.” Experienced trio Brad Hardie, Joel Montgomerie and Christian Rimmer were outstanding performers for the Magpies, along with Clements and Earl. “Days like that bring out what the leadership group is all about,” Lubcke said. “Decision making and our experience becomes a main factor and that was again key on Saturday. “You win it with a team effort.” While many of the tall forwards struggled,

Bruggemann’s bullocklike attack on the ball yielded four goals in a stellar performance. “The conditions didn’t suit him with his marking but his strength enabled him to get a number of shots on goal,” Lubcke said. “It was not a day for the big guys so we may have come in to the match a little top-heavy. “Jordan Clements was sensational, while Jake Birchmore’s decision making was great for a young kid. “I’m very impressed with him at the moment.” The “ugly” win still pleased the Magpies’ coach. “It’s an ugly game after half time, where it

lost its spectacle a bit,” Lubcke said. “It virtually becomes a game of rugby, just playing for yardage. “I’m very happy to win ugly because at times, if you win easily it masks things too much. “A hard, contested game is the sort of game I want to play as it replicates what finals footy is all about.” Barnett said the slow start cost his team but they still battled hard. “Mallala was too good on the day and adapted to the conditions better than we did, which surprised me to be honest,” he said. “Our effort was good, I

was pretty happy with that. “They found some good patches of play quicker than we did. “It was a really good contest of hard, physical footy with plenty of bash and crash, which was good to watch. “I think they kicked more points than us but we certainly kicked more out on the full. “The effort was good, especially to finish the game off the way we did.” He wasn’t sure how to gauge the loss in the context of the Bombers’ season. “I don’t know if you can really take much out of it,” Barnett explained.

“About eight weeks ago, they beat us by 100 points plus. “Everyone we played this time was fit, that’s probably the main thing. “We were probably a bit ahead of ourselves at that stage and played two, maybe three, players who weren’t fit.” Ryan Appleton had close to 14 clearances in a slippery contest, while Toby Haseldine worked himself into the match after half time. “Luke Slok was good up forward in his sec-

ond game back,” Barnett added. “Lachy Norman was good in those conditions, while Justin Zanandrea came into it in the second half. Hamley Bridge still sit atop of the APFL table close to the halfway mark of the season. “At the start of the year, most teams would take six and two at this stage,” Barnett said. “The competition being so close has helped our blokes keep on their toes, mentally.”

SPORT v Netball

Comfortable wins at all three venues I think Hamley coach Lee Barnett said it best, “WET WET WET WET.” Perhaps the heavy conditions evened up the odds with scores tied during two of the three matches played on Saturday. In the end, Hamley and Two Wells ran those games out, winning easily by 14 and eight goals apiece. Hummocks had another clear win, cleaning up Balaklava at Port Wakefield. Two Wells v Long Plains This match delivered a fantastic tussle, with Long Plains desperate to secure their first win and Two Wells keen to keep ahead of them on the ladder. Two Wells jumped ahead and were up by five at the first break. Longies then took the lead, ahead by one at half time. Scores were locked after three quarters. Then Two Wells hit the front and didn’t look back, 51 to 43. Two Wells coach, Stacey Gameau, attributed their final quarter success to scoring off opportunities created by great defensive efforts. Stacey also noted

Long Plains coach, Michelle Doherty, continues to grit her teeth. “A frustrating game again for Long Plains”, explained Michelle. “We were missing our captain and vice captain and the young squad battled hard in such trying weather.” “We made a couple of mistakes early on in the last quarter and Two Wells capitalized on them. “I was proud of our youngsters Leah Tynan, Hannah Mcardle and Tori Doherty who played a mature and controlled game, way beyond their senior playing experience.”

Best player for Longies went to C, Leah Tynan. Quarter scores (TW – LP): first 11-6, second 20-21, third 33-33, final 51-43. Hummocks v Balaklava The clouds threatened throughout the A1 match, but saved it for the first five minutes of the following match (my match). That downpour nearly drowned all 14 players, umpires and some spectators! Hummocks once again dominated from start to finish. Eagles coach, Sam Nicholls was very pleased they stayed dry. “As a team we just really didn’t let Balak get into the game or find their groove,” explained Sam.

“They have many players which can be damaging but we smothered them from the get go.” “Beth Reid set the tone right from the start of the game with a great intercept. “GD, Bonnie Nicholls, played her best game so far, on her toes and hunting for the ball. “Emily Wandel is very unassuming and just goes about her business, providing great support at WA.” The umpires were impressed by the coach, with Sam named best player at GS. Over on the Balaklava bench, coach Carolyn Michael was satisfied her team had played better this time than last time, although not reflected in the score. “Emily Shepherd and Sally Arbon where able to create some space in the ring which isn’t easy to do against GK Mel Moulds and GD Bonnie Nicholls,” said Carolyn. “Ashleigh Heinrich was strong through the mid court and Sophie Kupke played well in defense.” Carolyn also agreed with umpires’ commenting that Sam Nicholls deserved best player.

They stretched it further in the final quarter, 55 to 41. Mallala coach, Courtney Kerr, was disappointed. “Hamley’s continuous defensive pressure got the better of our girls and we just didn’t pick the right options in attack.” Courtney agreed with the umpires’ selection GK, Alison Schahinger as best for Hamley and also C Tracy Kennett of Mallala, who continually kept

trying to get the ball moving in attack. Quarter scores (Ham-Mal): first 12-13, second 25-25, third 4232, final 55-41. Everyone has a break this weekend for the Association matches. But stay tuned as the following weekend sees another grand final rematch between Hummocks and Hamley. Virginia will take on Two Wells on their inside court and Balaklava will play Mallala at Mallala. Games are at 12.30pm.

Hummocks too good for Balaklava hummocks v Balaklava

A1: Hummocks capitalised on their first turnover. Cheryl Appleby’s voice for Hummocks was a driving force in settling their play. Both GD’s outshone the play for the quarter. Stand out players were Bonnie Nicholls (Hum GD) and Jane Harding (Balak GD). Hum 13 - Bal 7. Hummocks GD Bonnie Nicholls and GK Melissa Moulds defence in the circle made it hard for the Balaklava goalies. Balaklava persisted in attack, however Hummocks’ defence stood strong. Bonnie Nicholls again performed well for Hummocks, as did Ashleigh Heinrich (Balak C). Hum 28 - Bal 14. Balak took to the court with four changes and for the first five minutes kept the scores even. Lauren Michael (Balak WD) stayed tight on her player, intercepting well. Stand out players included Samantha Nicholls (Hum GS) and Lauren Michael (Balak WD). Hum 42 - Bal 20. Hummocks presented for the final quarter settled, and converted the first eight goals with Balak nil. Balaklava’s first goal was scored nine minutes into the quarter. Balaklava then found their style and with accurate shooting they were now on the scoreboard. Final score: Hum 85 - Bal 27. A2: Even start to the quarter on wet and slippery courts. Mother and daughter combination, Kirsty and Ashleigh Williams, worked well for Hummocks with great defensive pressure from Nadine Wehr and Tenayah Renshaw for Balaklava. Caitlyn Moulds, Tenneal White and Jessica Angel showed great defensive pressure but great work from Stacey Mugge and Cass Powell gave Balaklava the lead. Stand out players: Debra Davey (Hum WA) and Kate Cmrlec (Balak C). Hum 9 - Bal 16. Emma Ward and Deb Davey fought hard for Hummocks through the centre but Balaklava pulled away early in the second quarter. Kate Cmrlec played strong through the mid court. Balaklava goalies shot well. Kirsty Williams worked hard for Hummocks in goals and Tenneal White and Caitlyn Moulds fought hard in defence, causing a few turnovers down the court. Stand out players: Cass Powell (Balak GA) and Caitlyn Moulds (Hum GD). Hum 18 - Bal 34. Goalies shot well for both teams, but it took Balak longer to settle from the changes. Hummocks fought across the whole court and were only outscored by one goal this quarter. Stand out players: Kate Cmrlec and Nadine Wehr (Balak). Hum 30 - Bal 47. Balaklava pulled away early in the last quarter. Nadine Wehr (GS) and Tenayah Renshaw (GD), worked hard for Balaklava. Defences kept applying pressure but Balaklava’s attack was just too strong. Standout players: Tenneal White (Hum WD), Tenayah Renshaw (Balak GD). Hum 37 - Bal 63. A3: Ball handling proved slippery in the drenching rain and goal scoring was difficult. Ashleigh Williams (Hum GD) took some timely intercepts for Hummocks and Renee McPharlin at GS was the focal point for Balaklava. Standout players: Ashleigh Williams (Hum GD), Renee McPharlin (Balak GS). Hum 10 - Bal 9. Balaklava’s Rebecca Dixon (C) and Aleisha Michael (GD) took a few intercepts from Hummocks’ loose passes and Balaklava scored goals as a result of these.

Standout players: Merridy Nicholls (Hum GA), Aleisha Michael (Balak GD). Hum 15 - Bal 21. Kellie Michael at WA (Balak) provided great drive at the centre pass and accurate feeding into her goalies. Jessica Hoepner (Hum WD) worked hard to take a few intercepts in the mid court. Balaklava extended their lead at the three quarter break. Standout players: Kellie Michael (WA, Balak). Hum 23 - Bal 37. Balaklava continued to apply full court pressure and were eight goals to one in the early stage of the final quarter. Krystal Cock (Hum C) continued her work ethic to provide drive and had a good duel with Rebecca Dixon (Balak C). Stand out players: Kayla Arbon (Balak GA), Krystal Cock (Hum C). Hum 27 - Bal 56. A4: Both teams started well, with shooters Hannah Hoepner (Hum) and Ellie Reusch (Balak) at either end of the court shooting accurately. Hum 9 - Bal 14. Hummocks started the second quarter with the first two goals, but Balak went on soon after to settle with Ciara Guy and Samantha Florance who worked well together. Balaklava shooters were too strong and stretched their lead. Hum 20 - Bal 27. Hummocks started the third well, shooting the first three goals after Sandra Smith (Hum GD) stopped Balak from scoring and sent the ball back to her attacking end. Ciara Guy did a great job in defence and made it a challenge for the Hummocks goalies. Hum 30 - Bal 35.

MOLLY Dowsett about to receive the ball for Two Wells in Under 17 grade. Great shooting from both teams made it a very even start in the last quarter. Sandra Smith stood out for Hummocks in defence. Hummocks had a late fight back in the final stages of the quarter, and were able to score the winning goal with only seconds to play. Final score: Hum 44 - Bal 43. A5: Balak started strongly, scoring five goals before Hummocks had one on the board. Hum 3 - Bal 14.

The quarter was again quite even, however with a comfortable first half, Balak were able to maintain their lead to win the match. Final score: Hum 18 - Bal 37.

Good shooting by Balaklava Home’s goalies. Play became messy midquarter from both teams. Standout players: Chelsea McPharlin (Balak Home GK). Hum 8 - Bal 12. The third quarter was goal for goal initially, then Balaklava Away had a great turnover with perfect passing into the circle. They were rewarded with a goal. Good defence by Balaklava Home defences in the circle and good work at the other end, resulting in goals. Standout players: Blessing Nyoni, Alex Wehr (Balak Home). Hum 13 - Bal 18. Good defence by Balaklava Home and rebounds by tall GD, Stacey Faerhmann in the last quarter. Injury to Vicki Logan (Balak Away WD) who then came off. Teams resettled and all tried hard. Standout players: Chelsea McPharlin and Stacey Faerhmann (Balak Home), Kameeka Scott (Balak Away), Blessing Nyoni (Balaklava Away C). Bal Away 18 - Bal Home 24.

Standout players: Bianca Smith (Balak GS), Sarah Nipperess (Hum WA). Hum 5 - Bal 5. Hummocks came back on with their captain’s fresh legs and beaming smile at centre. This change, along with Hummocks’ strong defence limited Balaklava’s opportunity to get the ball into their attacking third. Stand out players: Jessica Davey (Hum C), Claudia Tiller and Rhianna Cunningham (Balak). Hum 11 - Bal 7. Blustery conditions proved challenging for the shooters. Half way through the third quarter, Balaklava’s GA, Bianca Smith, fought hard to convert Balaklava’s first twogoals for the quarter. Hummocks’ goalies, Sophia Sach and Haylee Studham, proved to be a cracking combination in the goal circle. Hum 20 - Bal 11. The fourth quarter started out with unsettled play from both sides. Half way through the final quarter Balaklava began to make their presence felt by threatening a comeback, led by Bianca Smith in GA. Resistance from the goal post in Balak’s circle made their comeback hard work. Final score: Hum 24 - Bal 18. The initial lead gained by Hummocks saw them over the line.

SPORT v District ELLEN Canna and Sam Haddow (pictured left) will represent Clare and District Hockey Assocation in the Under 18 Zone Women’s team and Under 15 Men’s team, while Sarah Jane Tiller (right) will play in Under 18 Women’s team.

Landmark Cup squad selections • From back page “ W e want guys who want to play, although with some guys, their ability can’t be overlooked at times.” The APFL’s recent record at the Landmark Cup has been outstanding under the watch of former coach, Andrew Michael, who will coach the Central Zone team this year. Barnett was keen to maintain that strong presence at association level. “We’re playing to win,” he said. “It’s hard to implement things over two trainings, so you really rely on the players’ endeavour, ability and attitude as well.” QUALIFYING MATCHES Game 1: 9.50am Under 17s NAFA vs NEFL Game 2: 10.40am Under 17s YPFL vs APFL Game 3: 11.30am A Grade NAFA vs NEFL Game 4: 12.30pm A Grade YPFL vs APFL FINALS MATCHES Game 5: 1.30pm Under 17s Loser Game 1 vs Loser Game 2 Game 6: 2.15pm Under 17s Winner Game 1 vs Winner Game 2 Game 7: 3pm A Grade Loser Game 3 vs Loser Game 4 Game 8: 4pm A Grade Winner Game 3 vs Winner Game 4

State hockey Championships • From back page The two McGregor boys – who both attend Clare High School – began their hockey careers with the Clare Hockey Club, and are now playing in the Under 18’s and Division One Men’s competition in Port Pirie for local club, the Panthers. Since picking up the hockey sticks with the encouragement of their parents, Annie and William, they have grown in leaps and bounds. Angus, 17, was selected for the Under 18 Men’s State Squad in 2013 and Hamish, 15, was selected for the Under 15 Men’s State Squad for 2012 but, Hamish was unfortunately not able to trial for the final team selection due to being at the Olympics in London, watching the Hockeyroos and Kookaburras play. Angus and Hamish have both participated in numerous carnivals all over the state, and have represented SA at national level and have also been involved in Regional Development Coaching in Port Pirie. Ellen, 17, started her hockey career with Donnybrook, a team within the Clare Hockey Club. Ellen’s parents have driven her all over the countryside so she could take part in carnivals and Regional Development Coaching.

Currently they make the journey to Adelaide every Friday night so Ellen can play for the Yorkes Hockey Club, which play in theAdelaide Metro Junior Competition, as well as fronting up to play in the Under 18 Donnybrook team and Donnybrook Men’s Team, in the Clare and District’s Hockey Association on Saturdays. Ellen is currently studying year 12 at Clare High School. Also in the Under 18 Zone Women’s team is Sarah Tiller from Balaklava. Sarah, 18, currently plays for Yorkes Hockey Club in Under 18 Women and has also played for Yorkes for the last few years. She began her hockey career with Balaklava Hockey Club, where she continued to play until she moved to Adelaide this year to continue studies. She also plays for Adelaide University Club on the weekends. Sarah has represented the Clare and District HockeyAssociation over the years, playing in carnivals, State Junior Championships, State Zone Championships, SAPSASA and also made a State team. Fourteen year old Sam Haddow, from Booborowie, plays for the Burra Hockey Club in the Under 18’s and the Riverton Men’s team, which are both within the Clare and District

Golf balaklava

Even with treacherous weather forecast, 18 mad golfers ventured out for a 4BBB competition. However it soon became a four-ballcasual water competition, with most players only completing nine holes due to what seemed like a continual downpour. There were some excellent scores up until play was abandoned, which was a good call by the captain, who, as we know, is paid the big bucks to make the tough decisions. Nearest The Pins were won by Pete Friedrichs, Bill Parkin and Dave Rodgers. This Saturday is a Stableford round, playing for the Balaklava Freechoice trophy. Starter, minus his plunger, is Peter Thompson, with Mike Smith handling the mayhem on the 19th. Don’t forget to get your team of four together for the very social Mid North Tyres Ambrose on Sunday, June 9. A shotgun start at 12 noon will signify the start of some laughs, if no good golf can be seen, and members are asked to bring a salad for a barbecue tea after play. Everyone welcome to join in this social day.

Others to finish in the better half in the field of 25 players were Ian Ferguson and Kieth kluske 34, Wim Van pelt, Gary Woods,George Dahlitz and Ed Manning 33. Birdies: Barry Schwartz third,

Rex Mortimer 14th, Gary Woods 12th. Ian Ferguson 16th. Saturday’s Par competition was a half hearted affair due to inclement weather, with 16 players starting and only eight players finishing! Winner was Ian Goddard +2, from John Mitchell -1, John Bell and Barry Schwartz -3.

owen

Wet conditions hindered the stroke competition at the Owen Pines last Saturday, as 10 golfing greats attempted to navigate through the championship course. With torrential downpours and high winds, officials were forced to change the competition into a nine-holed event as the conditions took a turn for the worse. Spectators were thrilled as Owen hero and 14 timesAgrade Club Champion, Peter ‘Pirate’ Freebairn, and his caddy Andrew Parker, finally commenced their season. The hall of famer only managed 3½ holes before conditions became unplayable. Peter was happy with his swing after a long break from golf over the summer. Early signs of form promise a good start to Pirate’s season as he works his way up to defending his A grade title later in the year. A ding-dong battle unfolded between captain, Brett Fitton, and the Balaklava bad boy, Merv Hameister, seeing the lead change five times in the front nine holes. As

Hockey Association. Sam was rewarded by his association in 2012, winning the Under 14 Best and Fairest trophy for his outstanding season. This year sees Sam playing goal keeper for Burra and Riverton, however he was selected in the Mid North Zone Under 15 Men’s Team to play on the field as well as in goals. Sam travels to Port Pirie during the summer months for Regional Development Coaching. He has great support from sibling’s Lachlan and Nick, and of course from mum, Monique and dad, Vic. The Under 15 Men will be playing at the West Beach hockey grounds; the Under 18 Women at The Pines; Under 18 Men at Port Adelaide hockey grounds; and the Under 15 Women will be playing at North East hockey grounds, and playing five other Zones from South Australia over the course of two days. Finals will be held on the Monday at The Pines. It is here that the Under 15 Men and Women’s State Squads for 2013, and the Under 18 Men and Women’s State Squads for 2014 will be selected. Anyone interested in playing next year can contact Mid North Zone Representative, Trudy Alm.

the rain poured down, Hameister took the lead by a stroke narrowly winning by one with a 42 off the stick. Runner-up was Brett Fitton 43, and then came Jake Harkness 50, president Peter Sullivan 51. Len Beaty, Les Hean, Peter Freebairn, Andrew Parker and Ian Freebairn DNF (did not finish) due to the poor playing conditions. Junior, Indo Leane, put his English assignment on hold to play for handicap but had to retire after nine holes. Indo’s game has greatly improved over the few weeks he has been playing. Owen welcomes all junior players interested in learning how to play golf. For details, parents can contact club captain, Brett Fitton, on 0414 930 563. Longest drive on the first went to the ‘Windsor Wizard’, Merv Hameister, stealing it by inches from captain Brett Fitton. NTP on the second went to Brett Fitton, but it was all Merv as he took the Longest Veteran’s Drive from Life Member, Les Hean, on the fifth hole. Good news for members as Len Beaty looks to play the full 18 holes, thanks to his new turbo-charged golf scooter, complete with fluffy dice. Len showed off his machine last Saturday roaring down the fairways like a V8 super car. At this rate, the club may need to set a speed limit and install the odd speed hump! Special thanks to Bazz Light-Year and son Jake Harkness for marking the course fairways during the week. The course continues to improve with the constant care from course manger, Les Hean, treasurer, Ian Freebairn and president, Peter Sullivan. The club is lucky to have such a supportive volunteer base who works tirelessly to maintain quality playing conditions. Mondays with Merv welcomed Hamley Bridge’s Dennis Nation last week. Winning the day was Brett Fitton with 35 points, then came ‘Super Chook’ Glen Ince with 34 and Dennis Nation 22. Owen is holding its Open Day on Sunday June 23. Back to the traditional 27 holes, 7am bacon and egg sandwiches for breakfast, light lunch after 18 followed by BBQ dinner after 27. For all inquiries and bookings, call secretary, Pam Freebairn, on 85286074 Next Saturday is a Stableford round - tee-off 12pm, Mondays with Merv, Stableford round - tee-off 12pm. All welcome.

Results from Saturday June 1 – Par (Captain’s Trophy), 18 players.

Development Hockey Coaching is coming to Clare and District Hockey Association on Sunday June 16, 10am-12pm, at Clare High School hockey grounds. A sausage sizzle will be provided after the coaching sessions, for a gold coin donation. Two regional coaches will be coming from Port Pirie to conduct the coaching. Coaches Johnno and Dwayne currently run the Regional Development trainings which are held in Port Pirie. This year they are also two of the four Mid North Zone Coaches, with Dwayne coaching the Under 18 Women and Johnno coaching the Under 15 Women. Clare and District Hockey Association encourages all junior players and team coaches (and families) to attend the coaching sessions. Anyone interested in attending can contact their club’s Junior Co-ordinator, as definite numbers are needed.

Well, 18 hardy souls fronted up to face the wind and rain, hoping it would stay away. It was noted who had not fronted for the day, but at the end of the day they were probably the smart ones. There was plenty of casual water on the course and the grass and soursobs had reacted to the recent rain and were standing tall. The rain waited until all players had commenced play and then proceeded to bucket down. In total, eight players pulled the plug and decided that getting soaking wet was not the best thing they could be doing. Quickest off the mark was Thommo, who after losing his ball on the first, after what he thought was a good tee shot, got to the second tee, down came the rain, and in went Thommo to the clubhouse, leaving his playing partners out there. Paul Shields, Ray Prior and Steve Kelly did pull the plug after nine holes when getting that close to the clubhouse became too big an attraction, along with Ian Telfer, Garry Payne and Michael Davies. Stuart Grigg can be excused for pulling out at the 16th when he was advised his eldest son was not well and had been admitted to hospital. Yogi Frencken won A grade with a very respectable +3, and also defeated Les Grafton 5/3 in handicap match play. Adam Bail continued his run of placings to finish 2nd with square from John Ball –4. Hans Linford was the only B/C grader to complete his round with a –6. It was great to see the three ladies out there and they did not give up, coming in wrapped up like mummies and soaking wet, but they finished their rounds. Next week is Pinehurst for the Applebee/Belcher Trophy.

In-form Tigers United claims famous victory over Roosters MALLALA’S Jason Earl breaks away from Bombers Ashley Parson and Ryan Appleton in Saturday’s A Les Pearson reviews grade clash at Hamley round Bridge.5 APFL

A grade matches

UNITED became the second team to roll the reigning premier, Two Wells, with a comprehensive 40-point win in gusty conditions at Long Plains on Saturday. Andrew Hardiman came back into the Two Wells team, which was still missing Lee Allmond, Josh Osbourne and Brad Fitzgerald. The Tigers came out the better team, slamming on 10 scoring shots to three but only registering two goals from all their hard work. Two Wells failed to respond to the early wake-up call and United continued on where they left off, seizing a 21-point buffer at the main break. United coach, David White, said scoring was tough at times. “It was a tricky wind, it was fairly

blustery out there,” he said. “A couple of shots the wind grabbed and dragged them away fairly late.” Two Wells coach, Mark Thomson, could not believe the drop in standard of his team’s disposal. “We were burning the footy from half back, so it was barely getting to the centre line,” he said. “They could have been five goals up at quarter time, they played really well into the wind as well. Ruckman, Tyson Ettridge, lined up on Two Wells danger man, Simon Feast, in an epic head-to-head battle. “Tyson was charged with keeping a close eye on Feast, as we knew what he was capable of,” White said. “This was the first week he was able to fully train after playing with a few niggles the past couple of weeks.” Ettridge did a pretty good job, while his Tiger teammates enjoyed a freeflowing game style.

Les Pearson reviews round 9 APFL A grade matches

Rooster revival continues

TWO Wells continued its mid-season revival with a convincing 38-point win over a United side competitive again, but unable to really challenge the eventual winner. The Roosters’ win could possibly have become a loss in somewhat bizarre circumstances, with United defender, Simon Schulz, baffled as to why the Tiger backline couldn’t match up with all the Two Wells forwards at the start of the final term. United coach, David White, said there was a period of play of about three or four minutes where some confusion reined RESERVES before KOBY Ettridge marks for theit dawned on the Tiger footballer, Ben Pym, camp: Did Two Wells have 19 Tigers in their goal third, ahead is congratulated by players of Rooster, in on thethe field? his teammates asRyan he Hooper,Two A grade match on Saturday.

Barnett will lead APFL team ASH Barnett has been appointed as the coach for the Adelaide Plains Football League’s association team to compete at the Landmark Cup at Jamestown on June 8.

a player count. Had there indeed been an extra player on the field, Two Wells would have lost its total match score to that point in the match and a free kick and 50-metre penalty are paid to the opposing captain from the centre of the ground or the spot of the ball. If both teams have the correct number of players, a free kick and 50-metre penalty are paid against the captain who initiated the head count. Regardless, the matter is history. White believed his Tigers were still in with a shout for a majority of the contest. “I felt it was pretty even up to three quarter time, only needing three goals to be right in it,” he said. “It was a bit of a similar story to other weeks, we hung in there but we had a few things that didn’t go our way, which hurt our cause. n Continued page 17

Whole team effort seals victory for the Magpies A SCORELESS first quarter for Hamley Bridge proved to be the determining factor in its 18-point loss to Mallala at Hamley Bridge on Saturday in extremely muddy conditions. The oval had been holding up fairly well throughout the day under constant rain but inevitably gave way as the matches went on. “At the end of the reserves, I could see the mud rising up like quicksand,” Hamley Bridge coach, Ash Barnett said. The Magpies had brought in Matt Saunders to cover the loss of young ruckman, Will Farrelly.

Mallala coach, Steve Lubcke, said his team opened the match with exceptional desire to win the ball. “Our first quarter was excellent,” he said. “We could have buried the whole game right there. “If we kicked four or more goals, it would have been game over in those conditions.” Taking a 17-point buffer into the first change, Mallala extended its lead to 24 points at the main break, Mallala’s Angus Bruggemann looking the most dangerous forward on the ground. n Continued page 19
