BALAKLAVA Community Arts “Spotlight on 30 Years” production held at Balaklava Town Hall last weekend, brought back some nostalgic memories for cast and audience alike.

Main characters from past productions, including Paul Paulenas, Tahlia Ries, Alan Shepley, Kate Spence, Heather Crawford and Michael Speers, returned to perform their favourites, reprising previous lead roles. While crowd numbers

Louise Michael reports: were down slightly, they were not disappointed with the performances, with many reflecting on fond memories of previous productions.

Full credit to the stars of the show, who had worked so hard at rehearsals.

Performances were taken from productions from 1983 to 2012, with some rousing chorus numbers

included. A crowd favourite was local chef, Derek Friedrichs, as the mad dentist from “Little Shop of Horrors.”

The crowd was in hysterics with the politically incorrect ventriloquist performance from “Pick a Time” musical, with Alan Shepley as Uncle Reg (named after the late Reg Shepherd) and Geoff Gardner as Little Dickie, the puppet. n CONTINUED, MORE PICTURES PAGE 6

Be seen, be safe on walks

SA Police issued a reminder to early morning and evening walkers of their obligations as responsible pedestrians.

Chilly weather means walkers need to rug up – and police know winter clothing is predominantly dark in colour, but there are some things you can do to make sure you are visible to other road users.

High visibility vests, tabards, armbands or clothing will highlight your presence for a significant distance.

Light or bright colours in your clothing will also help.

“Pedestrians should also always use a footpath,” the SAPOL statement

said. “When conditions make these too wet or muddy, it makes sense to use the road – but be sensible.”

Jasmyn and Gabi Smith walk fairly regularly, usually late in the afternoon.

Parents Michael and Megan walk either early in the morning or at night.

“We wear light coloured clothing and mainly stick to the footpath,” Gabi said.

“Sometimes we walk on the road because it’s smoother, but if we see a car we quickly get to the footpath.”

When asked if they have had any near misses while walking, both said local drivers tend to be fairly courteous and alert.

“We haven’t had any trouble,” Jasmyn said.

“Most drivers are pretty good, if you’re crossing the road they’ll slow down.”

She also offered a tip to other walkers who like listening to music during their exercise.

“When I’m walking with my headphones in, I keep the music turned down so I can still hear when there’s a car coming,” Jasmyn said.

SA Police said keep as close to the footpath as possible and make sure you walk towards the oncoming traffic.

“That way they can see you and you can see them,” the statement said.

Former Hawthorn footballer, Shane Crawford, is riding a bike from Melbourne to Perth, appropriately called “Tour de Crawf,” in a bid to raise funds for Breast Cancer Network Australia.

He will stay overnight at Burra on Monday, June 24. Next day, Crawford will be riding through Spalding and Gulnare and local Friends in Pink member, Joy Ryan, is hoping to catch him on his way through.

GABI (left) and Jasmyn Smith set out on an evening walk in Balaklava this week.

Shared staffing suggestion for hospital and aged care REGISTERED nurses at Balaklava Hospital could potentially be required to work across both acute care and aged care wards under a proposal suggested by Country Health SA (CHSA) last week.

CHSA executives, including director of nursing and midwifery, Lyn Olsen, CHSA Yorke and Northern director, Roger Kirchner, and Aged Care director, Nino DiSisto, attended a staff meeting at the hospital last week.

“Nurses on the acute care ward and nurses on the aged care ward (Ira Parker) work in the same building at Balaklava Hospital,” a Country Health SA spokesperson said.

“It was suggested at a general staff meeting they may wish to consider ways in which they can work more effectively as a team.

“This could include assisting each other on the wards if their own ward is not busy.”

The Plains Producer learnt the suggestion of acute nurses assisting in the aged care ward raised concerns, as it could contradict a nurses’ union agreement. The agreement reportedly stipulates two nurses must remain in the acute ward at all times.

The staffing proposal could result in nurses being predisposed at other areas in the hospital. If a person or people present to emergency and no nurse is on hand to treat them, there were concerns an acute nurse could be held responsible and as a result lose their registration.

With all that considered, CHSA confirmed no formal direction as yet.

“No decision regarding this proposal has been made,” the spokesperson said.

Viability report on ‘Townsvale Estate’ COSTINGS for the Unity Housing Development at Townsvale Estate, east of Balaklava, should be presented as part of a prudential report at the June 26 Wakefield Regional Council meeting.

The estate is the proposed future site for a low-income residential

Les Pearson reports:

Council develops Balaklava housing plan

development on privately owned land.

As part of the proposal with developer, Unity Housing, council would take over ownership of the roads, which are all currently unsealed gravel.

The land in question, owned by Mr Murray Gates, already has several existing residents who have previously purchased blocks of land.

Unity Housing would seal and provide infra-

structure to one of the roads, while council would be responsible for providing similar infrastructure for the remaining roads in the development. The name “Townsvale Estate”

comes from historical mapping of the area.

WRC chief executive officer, Cate Atkinson, said the development was still well and truly on council’s agenda.

“We had an informa-

THE area of land east of Balaklava

tion report last month just letting elected members know we are still working on it,” she said.

The engineers’ costings are required to complete the prudential report, which analyses financial viability.

The report is being compiled by consultancy

PORT WAKEFIELD IMPRESSES WITH BOLD NEW SIGNS TRAVELLERS passing through Port Wakefield will notice new town entry signs installed by Wakefield Regional Council recently.

• Port Wakefield local Terry Cluse said the bold concept looked good.

The signs, depicting the town’s maritime history, are at the northern and southern entrances.

WRC infrastructure services man-

ager, David Hassett, said aside from a minor controlling issue with lighting on the sign at the southern entrance, the finished product was outstanding.

Illumunated by solar lights, the signs – delayed by various issues – look particularly impressive at night.

“I reckon they look absolutely magnificent,” Mr Hassett said.

Balaklava will receive similar

town entry signs in the near future.

“They will conceptually be the same idea but Balaklava’s will be a corten (weathered) steel wheat cut-out but with a similar illumination system behind it,” Mr Hassett explained.

“With the success of the signs at Port Wakefield, we’ll be working with the same company for a similar result at Balaklava.”

firm, Liquid Pacific.

“We’re waiting to have that finalised,” Mrs Atkinson said. “Our agenda needs to be finalised before the end of this week, so I’m hoping we will get a report in for this month’s meeting.”

Balaklava resident, Jeremy Lomman, lives in the vicinity of the planned development.

Mr Lomman hoped the prudential report considered potentially substantial costs to improve drainage in the area.

“It floods because it is on a natural water course,” he explained.

“The water comes off the flat area behind March’s farm and tries to find its way back to the river. It gets to Railway terrace and backs up as it’s not draining, acting like a dam.”

Mr Lomman said if the residential plan gets the go-ahead, a draining system allowing water to flow under Railway terrace and the former railway line, into the river, has to be a priority.

He also hoped council confirms the homes would house “gainfully employed people”.

“If they’re not going to be, I think council needs to be transparent about that.”

Developer responds to coastal concern Les Pearson reports: THE impending closure of salt production at the Dry Creek salt fields has raised concerns regarding the implications on both the environment and wildlife that inhabit the site.

Middle Beach resident and Mallala Foreshore Advisory Committee member, Barb Reid, (right) said the whole ecology of the area would be changed dramatically.

She was worried given limited information was available from either private enterprise or government about the how the site will be rehabilitated.

“The land is said to be sold for housing development but the lack of information is of concern for us,” Mrs Reid said.

She felt little consideration had also been

given to the extensive birdlife, which will be left without a home.

“The migratory birds who use the Asia-Pacific Flyway will also be affected as they will have a reduced opportunity to feed,” Mrs Reid said.

“Who knows what’s going to happen to them?”

Ridley Corporation, the company that owns the land, confirmed it is in discussions with the State Government to develop a management plan for the rehabilitation of the salt fields.

Ridley Property Development manager, Stephen Butler, said since Adelaide-based

BALAKLAVA

company, Penrice Soda, confirmed it would no longer require any more salt from the Dry Creek salt pans as of June 30, the company was forced to close the fields.

“The Dry Creek salt fields were designed to provide that site with salt,” Mr Butler explained.

“If we don’t close the fields, they will just keep producing salt, which would drastically impact the environment.

“So, we’re putting together a management plan in conjunction with government departments, including mining and the EPA, to determine what we need to do to close the fields.”

Closing the salt pans, which span about 5500 hectares, will be no easy task and Mr Butler expects it to take some time.

“It’s a very complex job and we have large volumes of salt stockpiled, which could take years to consume or shift, so there should

be activity at Dry Creek for many years to come,” he said.

“The management plan still needs to be prepared and that will need to facilitate responsible environmental management in that process.

“We are aware of the various birds and wildlife that inhabit the site and it will be part of the plan we have to deal with during the closing process.”

Mr Butler’s office has also been swamped with calls about the low levels of water in the ponds.

“The water levels operating in the ponds are the same as they have been every winter, as when there is less evaporation, we don’t need to pump as much water,” he explained.

“We’re still maintaining the same water levels we have every year.”

Wakefield link to Yorke trail ANOTHER major tourist trail within the region has received funding through the Federal government’s Regional Development Australia Fund.

Tourists, businesses and residents along the Yorke Peninsula are set to benefit from a new leisure trail, thanks to more than $1.3 million in Federal funding under round four of RDAF. Total cost is $2.84 million.

The project will start north of Port Wakefield.

Minister for Regional Services and Local Communities, Catherine King, announced the funding on Monday, saying the track would link 60km of existing coastal trails to form a 500km continuous track along the Yorke Peninsula coastline.

Ms King congratulated District Council of Yorke Peninsula on its successful proposal.

“Walk the Yorke” will stretch the total coastline of the Yorke Peninsula, from just north of Port Wakefield, down the eastern side of the peninsula to Innes National Park, at the foot of the peninsula, back up to Port Hughes.

The trail, predominantly of existing natural material, will link more than 30 small townships/communities.

Hikers and cyclists will have access to 18 existing caravan parks and 30 overnight rest campsites.

The project is expected to attract an additional 5,000 people to the region every year and generate an extra $600,000 in regional economic activity.

During the construction phase, it is expected that 20 local skilled contractors will be employed. Through a collaborative partnership between

the regional council and a local training organisation, accredited training will be provided during the project’s construction phase for high school students and job seekers in the region.

Kay Matthias, chair of the Board of Regional Development Australia – Yorke and Mid North congratulated District Council of Yorke Peninsula.

“The trail, which will also take in the local government areas of Wakefield and the Copper Coast, shows consideration for the environment as well as cultural and economic factors,” MS Matthias said.

“The Board is extremely pleased to see such a worthy community project receive funding from RDAF Round 4.”

The Regional Development Australia Fund (RDAF) supports capital infrastructure projects

which are identified as priorities by local communities in Regional Australia.

The program is administered by the Department of Regional Australia, Local Government, Arts and Sport in conjunction with Regional Development Australia bodies around Australia.

Other SA recipients in the Round 4 funding included: Limestone Coast, District Council of Grant – Port MacDonnell Marine Infrastructure Development; Whyalla and Eyre Peninsula, District Council of Elliston – Elliston Coast Trail; Adelaide Hills Fleurieu & Kangaroo Island, City of Victor Harbor – Fleurieu Regional Aquatic Centre.

Schools still adding up funding reforms SPECIFIC details on how the Gonski school funding reforms will benefit local schools is relatively scarce and whether it will benefit schools greatly depends on the political views to which you subscribe.

South Australian Premier, Jay Weatherill, signed up to the funding reforms, instigated by Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, last week, claiming it would deliver an extra $656 million over six years to SA schools students.

Shadow Education Minister, David Pisoni, questioned the call, demanding Mr Weatherill immediately release the funding details for schools for next year and assure South Australians no schools will be worse off.

Mr Pisoni also called for the government to make the position of non-government schools clear in terms of their satisfaction with the new deal and their funding level over the next six years.

Horizon Christian School principal, Michael Clisby, believed the funding reforms would have little impact at Horizon.

“While I think it is a positive step forward for Mr Weatherill to have signed SA up to the new Gonski funding model, the limited detail suggests there will be little change to the global funding of Independent schools in the near future,” Mr Clisby said.

“Further to this, there seems little change to the situation where students going to Horizon Christian School would receive less than 75 per cent of the per capita funding that State school

students will receive.” Balaklava High School principal, Mark Healy, was unavailable for comment as this edition went to press.

Mr Pisoni claimed it would take a long time for the funding reform to take effect.

“The real money from Gonski also won’t hit schools until 2018-19, nearly a decade after David Gonski began his review,” he said.

Premier Weatherill claimed the total extra investment for South Australian schools between 2014 and 2019 will be $1.1 billion.

Total new funding to public schools will be $717 million, total new funding to the Catholic schools sector will be $197 million and total new funding for the Independent schools sector will be $186 million. He claimed there would be an extra $84 million in schools next year and $351 million extra from 2019.

“These historic changes to education funding are about ensuring every child gets what they need for a high quality education – because every child is different and has different education requirements,” Mr Weatherill said.

“Every student will receive the same base level of funding wherever they are going to school in Australia.

Education and Child Development Minister, Jennifer Rankine, said the Gonski review found SA had one of the most decentralised education systems in Australia and school communities would be able to decide how these resources were allocated.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

‘Live within our means’

To Wakefield Regional Council – in response to the ‘Proposed Rate Rise for the Next Two Years’ as written in the Plains Producer, May 29, reported

by Les Pearson As rate payers of Wakefield Regional Council (WRC), we are opposed to the proposed rate rises and vision of WRC which will cost a whopping $13.85million – and then some. Where is the money coming from?

By the year 2020 our rates, if we are currently paying $1200 per year will be $2,022, a rise of 68.51 per cent, not including the extras such as sewage. (taken from the Long Term Financial Plan Model 7) We disagree the planned so-called necessities are our top priority. We believe our top priority needs to be that current debt of $5-6 million be paid before more significant monies are spent.

It is imperative we “live within our means.”

Much of WRC debt has been accrued by inefficiency. The Port Wakefield CWMS blow out, the North Street cost blow out and unnecessary court costs to name a few. That needs to change.

Considering these things, we have no confidence in the current irresponsible proposals and poor stewardship of council.

We would like to see a full audit of council activities, including administrative wages, individual agreements with contractors providing services for the council, and a clear list of said assets and liabilities published in the Plains Producer.

We would be more confident in the current WRC representatives, if we saw real answers, innovation, caution, business-like negotiations with contractors and suppliers, ideas and implementation of strategies that could hasten the payment of our current loan, not mindlessly staggering on in the same direction to an even worse financial position.

(Name and address supplied), also on behalf of other ratepayers.

Thanks for ‘Spotlight’

After attending the Sunday afternoon presentation of “Spotlight on 30 Years” by Balaklava Community Arts, I felt I must write and offer congratulations and a big “thank you” to all who participated.

A particular thank you to the organisers who must have put endless time and effort into getting the show up and running. Their finished result was something Balaklava can be proud of.

The audience enthusiastically showed their appreciation of a job well done. Congratulations to all soloists who performed with such excellence.

It was such a pleasure to my old-fashioned ears to listen to real singing rather than the screeching noise that’s passed up on television these days as singing.

My particular personal favourite was the rendition from “Fiddler on the Roof” by Michael Speers.

Such relaxed professionalism! Thank you Michael for the pleasure you gave.

All cast members made worthy contributions to the program and everybody is to be congratulated on a magnificent production. May there be many more of them.

Port Wakefield A few weeks ago, we had a query about what sort of exercises classes are around for the “seniors.”

The seniors at Port Wakefield are leading the charge, as they have two different classes on the go to keep them fit.

Every Thursday, the Soldiers Memorial Hall resembles the dance room from the movie “Fame,” well maybe not quite, but it’s all happening!

On the first, third and fifth Thursdays, it’s “Heart Foundation Cardio,” and the second and fourth Thursdays is Tai Chi for Seniors Wellbeing. Everyone is welcome to join in from 9.30 to 10.30am.

• The Community Management Committee (CMC) has been busy, treating the hall for salt damp, with new plastering to be done soon, and a new verandah to be erected.

CMC encourages local groups to get involved and come along to meetings to see what’s happening.

• Port Wakefield primary school’s fundraising committee recently held a garage sale in the school yard at the football home game, raising $379.50.

THIS Friday, June 21 is a special day. Here, in the southern hemisphere, it’s the winter solstice – our shortest day, or longest night, of the year. (albeit by only 2 seconds!)

Solstice is an astronomical event that happens twice a year, once each in summer and winter, when the sun reaches its highest position in the sky as seen from either the south or north pole. The summer solstice occurs on December 22 (but occasionally December 21) and is technically our longest day, and shortest night.

NEWS v Balaklava

Stage stars shine again • From page 1 BCA director, Kelly Bickle, was thrilled with the result of months of hard work and preparation.

“Directing previous directors, like Michael Speers and Paul Paulenas, was a great experience, and I learnt a lot,” said Kelly.

“Without Paul’s mentorship, I wouldn’t be doing what I do with BCA today.”

Michael Speers was surprised to learn he had been associated with BCA for 27 of the 30 years.

“My time with BCA was special, not only for the shows I’d appeared in, but for the meeting again of students I’d taught at either Balaklava Primary or High schools.”

“To meet these pupils, as time went on, as young performers in their teens, then for some as young parents also performing, and now as mature adults, has been uplifting to say the least,” he said.

Michael’s performance as Tevye from Fiddler on the Roof was thoroughly enjoyed by the crowd.

Tahlia Ries, now a well known performer in Adelaide, had her first theatre experiences with BCA, and was happy to be back to sing for the people who have supported her for so long.

“Without the start in BCA, I may never have pursued a career in performance,” she said.

Balaklava’s Col Heslop,

who is remembered for his strong performance in Jesus Christ Superstar, said, “For me, even the name, “community arts” has significance, because it is a real reflection of the diversity we are blessed with in our wider community.”

Musicians have been a vital part of BCA productions.

Former Balaklava local, and talented violinist, Kate Spence, said her involvement in BCA was a very important part of her formative years.

“My first production was “Pick a Time in 1986, and I was a beginner violinist getting a taste in a theatre orchestra.”

“From then on, I was involved on stage or in the orchestra almost every year until 1994, when living and studying in Adelaide made it too difficult to continue, although I did come back and play in other productions later on.”

“Playing the violin in Jesus Christ Superstar was an absolute highlight for me, and how many people can say they got to play Eliza Doolittle in “My Fair Lady?” she laughed.

BCA secretary, Anne Read, has been involved since 2001, when her daughter, Louise, was in the production of “Oliver.”

Anne helped with the production side, backstage and make up, and progressed to promotions, then gathering props and stage managing.

“I enjoy being involved with a great bunch of people who bring their talents to the forefront, bringing great productions to the community.”

“We have some talented people in Balaklava and surrounding towns, and it is a wonderful opportunity for young and old to show off their talents, boost their self-esteem, make new friendships and learn stage craft,” she said.

Every performer appeared on stage for the final song, “You can’t stop the beat,” from the musical “Hairspray.”

Experienced performer, Eleisha Arbon, will direct the next BCA production in late 2014, so keep your eyes out for details.

n conservative CLARE AND GILBERT VALLEYS COUNCIL SPENDING PLAN:

‘Tight rein on expenditure’ The new Clare and Gilbert Valleys annual business plan and budget has a focus on renewal of existing assets with a view to ensuring sustainability for the future.

“We have been careful in formulating a budget to keep a tight rein on expenditure,” deputy mayor Dianne Schwarz said.

“We have achieved a small operating surplus, while still maintaining the current level of services to the community.”

Community peak bodies will continue to be supported, and the asset grant scheme has been raised to $30,000. $3.6 million will be spent on road infrastructure, with plans to resheet about 35kms of unsealed roads in 2013/2014 as well as reseal about 14km of sealed roads.

The program to construct and seal the Mintaro to Manoora Road with Roads to Recovery Funding will carry on, while disaster fund money will continue to be expended on flood-damaged roads.

Other key infrastructure actions during the coming year include the installation of a guardrail on the Pioneer Avenue Bridge, subsurface irrigation upgrades at the Riverton and Saddleworth ovals and the completion of the rural property addressing installation.

There will also be a new ablution block constructed at the Riverton duck pond.

“The total general rate revenue has been increased by 3.5 per cent, which includes a CPI component and an allowance from

growth due to development,” Cr Schwarz said. “Individual increases will vary depending on capital value.”

There was an opportunity for the community to make representations to the council regarding the budget and annual business plan at a recent council meeting, but there were none.

The council did receive four written submissions with various suggestions and comments, which they found helpful in their deliberations.

Copies of the annual business plan and budget are available from the council’s website – claregilbertvalleys.sa.gov.au – or are available to view at council libraries an offices.

Fuel spill disrupts traffic

Bianca and Jake use the Cyber Smart website at Balaklava High School. – PICTURE: Lisa Redpath.

Cyber safety ‘clicks’ in class SCHOOL students and community members across the Lower North and Mid North will be attending information sessions on the importance of cyber safety in coming weeks.

The sessions have been organised as part of Innovative Community Action Networks (ICANs), an initiative of the Department for Education and Child Development (DECD).

Cyber safety was identified as an issue for many young people in the Lower North area.

As a result, Balaklava High School was successful in its application for funding through the 2012-13 Mid North ICAN Community Partnership Grants program to enable them to host information sessions to assist with raising awareness of these

issues. These workshops will reach more than 1400 students in years 5 to 12 from 24 schools across the area, with sessions also being available for school staff and service providers.

Former police officer, Brett Lee, will deliver the sessions.

Brett worked as a Queensland Police Officer for 22 years, 16 of those as a detective predominantly in the field of child exploitation.

In his last five years of service, he was a specialist in the field of undercover internet child exploitation investigations.

He has been personally involved in the online investigation, arrest and prosecution of numerous offenders, whose medium for preying on children

is the internet. Within his own police service, he was involved in the training of plain clothes police through detective training and sexual crimes courses in online child exploitation investigations.

Free community sessions, which are about 90 minutes (including time for questions) are also being held as follows: •Balaklava High School Monday, June 24 at 6.30pm • Riverton and District High School – Tuesday, June 25 at 6.30pm •Clare High School – Wednesday, June 26 at 6.30pm •Burra Community School – Thursday, June 27 at 6.30pm ICAN brings together young people, families, schools, community groups, businesses and

a range of government and non-government organisations to find solutions to local issues that prevent young people from being engaged in or completing their education.

The model aims to ensure all young people from year six, to 19 years old, have case management support to assist with addressing barriers to learning.

ICAN provides annual Community Partnership funding support to help establish innovative programs that are developed by key partners within the local community context, to meet the locally identified ICAN priorities.

This funding is managed by the Mid North ICAN Management Committee, who meet in Clare on a bi-monthly basis.

Port Wakefield Hotel FriendlFamyilyHotel

A LARGE diesel spill, which stretched from Hoskin’s Corner to well beyond the intersection of Blyth and Auburn-Port Wakefield Roads, kept local CFS crews reasonably occupied last Thursday night.

Balaklava CFS captain, Kevin Julyan, said six appliances and the group officer’s vehicle were stationed on several major intersections to manage traffic after reports of two vehicles losing control due to the spill.

Mr Julyan, who was away with work, said estimates ranged up to 10,000 litres of diesel covered about 27 kilometres of road.

If the estimate were somewhat accurate, the total value of the diesel (at the bowser) would have been close to $14,000.

“We have no idea who it was but we believe it probably was a fuel tanker as it was too much to have come from a prime mover,” Mr Julyan said.

“It spread a fair way and you could see the dips and puddles on the edge of the road were full of diesel.”

CFS crews remained at the intersections until the Department of Transport arrived to take over

Les Pearson reports:

the traffic management and clean up the respective sites by soaking the diesel with sand.

“Kitty litter is best for that sort of thing but over that distance, it would have been a lot of kitty litter,” Mr Julyan said.

It was an unusual incident for CFS crews but a great educational experience all the same.

“For the local CFS crews, it was a different mode of action,” Mr Julyan said.

“It was a good training exercise and morale booster for the team.

“We did it as it should have been done and it was co-ordinated from the group office in Balaklava very well.”

• CFS crews were also occupied by an oil spill at McCracken’s Corner on Sunday night, which was quickly tended to

by Wakefield Regional Council staff Balaklava Police Brevet Sergeant, Eddie Dilena, was also called out to traffic manage an oil spill at Hoskin’s Corner on Monday morning.

Sgt Dilena said it appeared a five-litre oil container had fallen from a ute and then hit by another vehicle, spreading the oil over the road.

John’s faith in family, church and community = OBITUARY John Harold Scholz

October 28, 1939 – June 2, 2013

J

ohn Harold Scholz was born at the Blyth Hospital on October 28 1939, with his twin sister Linda, to Gertie and Ludwig Scholz.

John had an older sister Joyce, and later, a younger brother, Bazel.

John grew up on the family property at Hoyleton, where agriculture became the primary focus of his life.

His youth was spent working on the farm, shearing, grape picking and helping the neighbours in harvest.

At the age of 22, John attended a church social in Eudunda, where he met the love of his life, his future wife, Patricia Marschall.

John and Patricia were married in 1965 in Eudunda Methodist Church before heading off on a caravanning honeymoon along the Great Ocean Road.

John worked for properties in Wirrabara and Gawler River, and during this time welcomed two sons, Stephen and Darren.

When John’s father retired from the farm, John returned to Hoyleton to run the

family farm. With grain, sheep and pigs on the farm, the entire family was kept working hard, and despite some rough patches, John ensured nobody ever went without.

John renovated the homestead, and surrounded it with beautiful gardens.

While the boys were growing up, John served on the primary school council and was a cub leader for the local Scouts group.

He was a long serving volunteer with the

Hoyleton CFS, earning a 20 year service award and also worked tirelessly as an Elder of the Lutheran Church.

His lifelong dedication to the church demonstrated his deep faith and charity.

After 37 years on the land, John and Pat retired to Balaklava, setting record land sales for their property.

Even though he had retired, John continued to make an indelible mark upon the community with his selfless and public spirit.

He was an inaugural member of the Balaklava Probus Club, and member of the Balaklava and Districts Lions Club, drove school and community buses, and the hospital car.

He repaired countless toys for the kindy, returning them to their former glory.

John loved watching his two grandsons, Zachary and Todd, play sport, and was very proud of their academic and sporting achievements.

One of John’s most passionate pastimes was fishing. He was a champion fisherman with the Gawler Fisheries and Balaklava fishing clubs.

No matter where he was, John always found somewhere to drop a line.

John was thrilled to have Todd adopt the same passion for angling as he had, allowing them to reel in that “last big fish” on a recent family houseboat holiday.

John and Pat became seasoned travellers and caravanning and camping enthusiasts.

They set out to cover the length and breadth of Australia, exploring and conquering dirt tracks in the outback.

The pair also journeyed overseas, absorbing the sights and cultures of places like Alaska, Europe, Hawaii, China, Singapore and more, making great friends with their travelling companions.

When home in Balaklava, John took great pride in his beautiful garden, being awarded several KESAB Garden of the Month awards.

John and Pat enjoyed their mutual love of dancing, notching up 20 years of new vogue dancing, with John often seen perfecting his dance moves while attending to daily chores on the farm and at home.

John’s dance card was always full, but the Twilight Waltz was always saved for Patricia.

John passed away, with his family around him, on June 2, 2013 at Balaklava Hospital, after a short battle with cancer.

The funeral service for John was held on June 7 at St Paul’s Lutheran Church Balaklava, with hundreds of relatives and friends attending to remember, honour and farewell this true gentleman.

• From eulogy prepared by John’s son, Stephen Scholz.

became renowned horse breakers.

Ron became a skilful rider and his interests extended to racing. His love of horses and racing meant he rarely missed a Balaklava race meeting.

Ron met Renee Thorpe and they were married on March 3 1951.

They built a new home on the family farm the following year, and Ron carted all of the stone by himself.

Ron and Renee established a mixed farming enterprise.

They became self-sufficient as far as produce was concerned, with fresh fruit and vegetables, dairy products and a variety of meat butchered on the farm, always available.

In 1957, they were blessed with a daughter, Judith, who brought them much happiness.

Ron became a recognised brewer of home-made beer, with the finished product stored in the cellar ready for the next famous Helps party.

In the late 1950s, Ron and Renee took over the running of the Owen Hotel for 12 months when the proprietor was ill.

They lived in the hotel during this time, and Ron continued as part time barman for more than 15 years for the new owners, still

maintaining his farm, with the occasional hired help.

In 1980, Ron and Renee built a new home in Owen and moved in from the farm.

They maintained a tidy garden with lovely roses and manicured lawns.

Ron and Renee devoted themselves to Judith and her family, two grandsons Toby and Shane, and three great grand children Daniel, Tay and Ryder.

Sadly, Renee passed away in 2011, but Ron still followed the fortunes of his family, with great interest.

He was a wonderful mentor to them all, and gave sound counselling and advice.

Ron was admitted, with a terminal condition, to Ira Parker Nursing Home in April, and passed away on June 1.

He will always be held in high regard as an honest, caring, thoughtful and knowledgeable gentleman.

•From eulogy compiled by John Marshman.

Honest and caring – Ron held in high regard = OBITUARY RONALD LESLIE HELPS

September 13, 1926 – June 1, 2013 Ronald (Ron) Helps was born at Balaklava Hospital on September 13, 1926, the youngest child for Herbert and Mary Helps.

His other siblings were George, Mabel, Arthur and Jessie.

Ron completed his schooling at Owen Primary School, and left at the age of 13 to help on the family farm, which was situated two miles south of Owen.

At 15, Ron had his own team of draught horses.

His father was one of the first local farmers to own a tractor, and being a stern man, declared Arthur would drive the tractor and Ron would serve his apprenticeship with the horses.

Ron’s life revolved around the farm six days a week, and strictly observed the Sabbath as a day of rest.

He was never allowed to play sport, and had to follow his father’s strict Protestant

work ethic and strict moral code.

When his older brother, George, returned home from active war service in 1945, the two formed a great relationship and worked extremely well together.

Ron’s father died in 1948 and the two brothers continued to work together, and

Child development meeting

A new entrance wall at Saddleworth Golf Course was officially opened last Sunday, June 16.

President Roger Coupar welcomed a good crowd, and invited Mick Aworth to give a brief history of the wall, which was built from donated stone from the residence of the late Cyril Treloar, a Life Member of the golf club. Countless hours of volunteer

labour saw the wall finally completed this year.

Cyril’s son, Bruce Treloar, cut the ribbon to officially open the entrance wall, noting his father spent many years at the golf club and enjoyed every moment there.

A time capsule, with photos and memorabilia of the club, was placed in one of the pillars. The capsule will be opened on the golf club’s centenary in 2026.

PARENTS from Balaklava and the surrounding community are encouraged to attend another meeting to address development deficiencies in local school entry-aged children.

A special committee of 18 members was formed at the group’s inaugural meeting last month but Balaklava Community Children’s Centre (BCCC) director and committee member, Dale Gathercole, said more parents are welcome to join.

“We’re still looking for parents to become involved and take action around childrens’ early development,” she said.

“While the committee has been formed, anyone still interested can sit on the committee and take up one of the executive positions.”

The meeting again will be held at the BCCC on Monday from 7-8.30pm.

“We’ll also be looking to strengthen partnerships between families and service providers,” Mrs Gathercole said.

While the crèche service won’t be available this time, parents are welcome to bring their children along.

“The key thing is we will be identifying actions which will make a difference, that’s probably most of what this meeting will be centred around.”

Community housing plan A plan to expand the community housing sector in South Australia over the next five years will provide more homes to low income families and other vulnerable people.

The scheme could be extended to country regions – but not in the immediate future.

Premier, Jay Weatherill, last week announced a reform package involving the State government partnering with nongovernment community housing organisations to build a stronger social housing sector.

Under the reforms, the government will initially transfer 1000 public housing dwellings to community housing organisations over the next 18 months.

This transfer of houses will be the first of a total 5000 public housing dwellings the government has committed to transferring to the community housing sector to strengthen it.

The Better Places, Stronger Communities Program will start with the government calling for expressions of interest.

Social Housing Minister and local MP for Light, Tony Piccolo, told the Plains Producer

Mr Piccolo forecast significant government investment for housing in regional areas.

“Through the Community Housing Capital Grant Program recently announced, $5 million of the $20 million program will be dedicated to building new community housing in the regions,” he said.

“Of the $30 million Social Housing Investment Program, $10 million will also be dedicated to building new houses in regional areas.

“We encourage housing providers in rural and regional areas to apply for the grants.”

Mr Piccolo said the government was building a more diverse social housing system to meet the changing needs of low income families and other vulnerable people, including people living with disability.

Vets nuking pets

Nuclear medicine can play a useful role in diagnosis and therapy of pets for a range of diseases and injuries. Professor Max Zuber spoke about how this cutting edge technology can be applied in veterinary practice, at the Australian Veterinary Association’s annual conference.

“Nuclear imaging in experienced hands can become the first choice in diagnostic tests for difficult cases, such as lameness problems in large breed dogs and greyhounds,” Professor Zuber said.

Nuclear medicine techniques can also be used for scanning the brain, liver, lungs, kidneys and bones of many small animals.

“The role of nuclear medicine in vet practice in the future is likely to centre on developments of techniques to diagnose and treat pet cancers that mimic those seen in humans.

“The advances seen in human cancer diagnostic imaging with PET scanning is only just starting to filter through into use in animals as the demand and costs involved in setting up this technology for human use exceeds what can be afforded for animal use.”

“Having a safe, secure and affordable place to live is essential to every South Australian,” Mr Piccolo said.

State government and the community housing sector will work with local government to implement the reforms.

People living in the public housing properties involved in the program will be contacted and assured their out-of-pocket housing costs will not change as a result of this reform.

The new scheme means Commonwealth Rent Assistance can now be paid towards rental of the homes – which in turn will generate for SA about $2 million extra per 1000 houses each year for community housing.

“The social housing we provide to disadvantaged people in the community includes a combination of the government’s public housing stock and housing provided by the community sector,” Mr Weatherill said.

“South Australia created the first community housing legislation in the nation. Now we want to grow the capacity of that sector – and this reform is the first step towards helping it grow.”

More metro homes for low earners and vulnerable – and there’s hope for country SA’s ‘innovative’ projects

Mr Piccolo there was no expected country or regional component included in the transfer of the initial 1000 properties.

“In relation to the next 4000, we would await the outcome of the ‘New Ideas for Growth’ proposal and would not rule out country or rural SA if an innovative idea came out of that process,” Mr Piccolo said.

New Ideas for Growth is aimed at community housing providers to encourage social housing growth with an improved mix.

“We will be seeking expressions of interest for all community housing providers. The aim of the transfer program is to build capacity in the social housing sector so it is able to leverage its assets to increase housing stock and thus increase the supply of affordable housing.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

People have been very generous to the Salvation Army. Across the nation tens of thousands of volunteers mobilised to collect for our appeal.

On the “Doorknock” weekend alone we raised more than $6 million and we are confident of reaching our Australia-wide Doorknock target of $10.2 million.

We are all too aware that right now huge numbers of Australians are struggling to make ends meet.

Our own research shows 54 per cent of our clients feel worse off than they did last year. A huge two thirds have cut down on basic necessities.

There is still time to donate to the appeal. Please call 13 SALVOS – 13 72 58 – or visit salvationarmy.org.au.

We are truly humbled by the phenomenal support we receive from so many individuals and businesses. The Salvation Army is simply there to help others. We are focused on helping people who have hit hard times, to turn their lives around. We thank everyone in your local community who got behind our appeal.

Is there risk in disc seeders?

Research tries to resolve the wrangle over herbicide use

o CHEMICAl companies often won’t support the use of disc seeders, claims a research report.

A

South Australian grains industry research project has shed some light on the benefits and pitfalls of using discseeders alongside pre-emergent herbicides, helping to shape their future use in Australia.

The study, conducted by the University of Adelaide and University of South Australia with support from the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC), aims to refine the industry’s understanding of the use of disc seeders in conjunction with pre-emergent herbicides and inform future on-label advice.

University of Adelaide researcher Sam Kleemann said although growers increasingly recognised the advantages of disc seeders, many pre-emergent herbicides’ on-label advice forbids use alongside disc seeders, and chemical companies often won’t support the use of disc seeders because of a lack of information around the machinery’s impact on crop safety.

“At this point in time, many growers have to use disc seeders at their own risk, and it’s just a function of the fact they have no other option but to do so,” Mr Kleemann said.

“In the last 10 years we’ve seen a lot of advancements in technology associated with disc

seeders and this is creating renewed interest, to the point where we’re seeing in South Australia and Victoria around five to 10 per cent uptake, and in parts of NSW even higher again.

“Unfortunately, our predicament with the major weeds we’re chasing

is that we’re placing a huge impetus on pre-emergent herbicides.

“Given the lack of information we have on their behaviour in disc systems, we can’t make any recommendations. Part of this work is trying to develop a greater understanding of how pre-emergent herbicides can more safely be used in conjunction with a disc system.”

Different disc seeder models deliver greatly varying results in crop safety and establishment, and the trial examined five different disc seeders alongside a knife-point and press wheel seeder and in combi-

nation with leading pre-emergent herbicides over a five-year period.

While both single disc and knife point seeders placed seeds at around the same depth, the single discs led to higher instances of crop damage, with damage levels varying across the different herbicides used. he study found single disc systems could leave herbicideexposed soil in the furrow, where knife-points tend to throw treated soil away due to increased soil disturbance.

However, single disc seeders planting at greater depth, and there-

fore with more soil disturbance, could reduce the risk of crop damage, while planting at shallower levels could increase it. Operating disc seeders at higher speeds could decrease seeding uniformity, resulting in exposure of seeds to herbicide.

Triple discs appeared to have a success rate of wheat establishment comparable with most knife-point systems, and showed much better crop safety than single discs.

“What we’ve found is what’s happening at the front of the machine seems to be far more important to providing crop safety than what’s happening at the rear of the machine,” Mr Kleemann said.

“We’re looking at the function of the closing furrow wheel and the pressing devices and seeing whether they’re dragging herbicide back into the soil furrow.

“All the pre-emergent herbicides we used are non-selective, so they can all cause crop damage whether they’re in a disc or a knife-point system. However, some of the herbicides appear to show better safety with the discs.

“There is potential perhaps some of these herbicides may be able to get on-label given we may be able to provide the data and recommendations to do so.”

While the research team cannot make any recommendations to growers at present, their study’s results could help develop standard industry practices for pre-emergent herbicides in future.

New rules on ‘free range’ eggs A new industry code will be established for South Australian free range eggs, in a move that is set to benefit both egg producers and consumers.

Public consultation was launched on the issue on Monday.

Minister for Business Services and Consumers, John Rau, said South Australian shoppers buying eggs should know exactly what they were getting and the environment from which it had come.

“I have been talking with South Australian egg producers about this issue – some have been frustrated at different standards and definitions of ‘free range’ across the states,” Mr Rau said.

“I also know South Australian shoppers have been confused about the way eggs are labelled, particularly the definition of ‘free range’. That confusion should be cleared up.

“We will introduce a code for South Australian egg producers so that shoppers will be able to clearly identify eggs that meet the new SA free range standard.

The discussion paper proposes that the code be drafted to include strict conditions such as: •A maximum density of 1,500 layer hens per hectare on the outdoor range; •Hens to have unrestricted access to outdoor areas during daylight hours; •Outdoor areas to provide adequate shelter, and •A prohibition on induced moulting.

“I strongly encourage the industry and consumers to participate in the consultation process,” Mr Rau said.

A copy of the discussion paper is available at www.agd.sa.gov.au Closing date for submissions is Friday 12 July 2013.

Quality silos, quality grain ensure top crop THE decision to buy a silo for onfarm grain storage can be daunting given it’s a major investment, and one you will live with for some time.

The Grains Research and Development Corporation says by following its strategic guidelines, growers can ensure they are buying silos to enable them to follow best practice and establish excellent storage facilities on farm.

Two new GRDC fact sheets produced by GRDC’s national grain storage extension team and a new video guide by Philip Burrill aim to make the process of identifying your silo needs easier by outlining key features required for good storage and fumigation results.

Philip Burrill says a well-designed, aerated, sealable silo using quality materials means filling, aeration, out loading, cleaning out and maintenance are trouble free. When fumigation is required, good design ensures it achieves a reliable gas-tight seal.

“Well designed silos also won’t have areas that trap grain residues and dust.

It should be simple to clean. Hygiene is one of the key methods of reducing

pest numbers and maintaining grain quality,” Mr Burrill said.

“Maintaining grain quality during storage relies on the ability to manage grain moisture, temperature and insects. It makes sense to look for storage that includes both aeration cooling and the ability to be sealed gas-tight for the typical seven or 10 day fumigation when required.”

“Regular monthly grain storage inspections and sieving for insects puts you back in control of grain quality. It reduces those nasty surprises when the truck arrives,” Mr Burrill said.

“By investing in quality storage equipment, and managing your system as well as you manage the crop in the paddock, growers can give themselves the flexibility and control they need.”

Growers should also look out for the two new fact sheets, the Silos Buyer’s Guide and Grain Fumigation, a guide on the GRDC website www.grdc.com. au or www.storedgrain.com.au.

One scheme.

One focus on individuals.

One commitment to lifelong support.

From 1 July, Australia’s current support system for people living with disability is being progressively replaced with DisabilityCare Australia. This new scheme will help provide a better quality of life for Australians with a significant and permanent disability, and for their families and carers too.

What’s new about DisabilityCare Australia?

DisabilityCare Australia is a new way of funding personalised support for people with disability. As well as looking at a person’s immediate needs, it will take a lifelong approach and enable people with disability to have choice and control over their supports. It will focus on early intervention, recognising that timely support can minimise the impact of a disability on individuals, families and carers. Assistance will be provided at the right time, rather than only once people reach crisis.

n KIRRA Robinson, Two Wells, in a toss up against her Virginian opponent in Under 10.

Who is eligible?

DisabilityCare Australia will help people who have a significant and permanent disability and who need assistance with everyday activities. This includes people whose disabilities are attributed to intellectual, cognitive, neurological, sensory, or physical impairment, or a psychiatric condition.

Will I lose my current support?

No. Your current arrangements will stay in place until you have met DisabilityCare Australia to discuss your needs.

Will it affect my Disability Support Pension?

No. Your Disability Support Pension will not be affected.

When does it all begin?

DisabilityCare Australia is being rolled out in stages because it is a big change to the current system.

5,000 children to benefit from South Australia launch South Australia is one of six locations across the country to benefit from the launch of DisabilityCare Australia. The scheme will have an important focus on early intervention. Infants and children with a significant and permanent disability will be able to access the scheme from:

. . .

July 2013: Birth to 5 year olds July 2014: Birth to 13 year olds July 2015: Birth to 14 year olds.

From July 2016, DisabilityCare Australia will roll out progressively in South Australia and by July 2018, all eligible residents up to age 65 will be covered.

Locations that start from July 2013 Barwon region of Victoria ....................People aged 0-64 Hunter region of NSW ...........................People aged 0-64 South Australia .....................................Children aged 0-14 Tasmania...................................Young people aged 15-24 Locations that start from July 2014 ACT .............................................................People aged 0-64 Barkly region of NT ................................People aged 0-64 From July 2016, DisabilityCare Australia will continue to extend to more locations and age groups around Australia, including Queensland.

Steady win for Hamley over Eagles REPORT: Les Pearson A SIX-goal to one first quarter broke the game open between Hamley Bridge and Hummocks-Watchman Eagles at Hamley Bridge on Saturday, the Bombers keeping the Eagles at bay to record a steady 46-point win.

Many punters out there were predicting big margins with Hamley sitting at the top of the APFL table and the Eagles languishing at the bottom, but with a swag of quality players returning to the team, HWE put up a fair fight.

“This week more so than the last four or five games,” HWE coach, David Cluse said.

Hamley Bridge opened brilliantly, slamming on a swag of majors early on to worry the travelling supporters.

“Three of those came from turnovers in our forward line and they got a few long bombs from 50 as well,” Cluse said.

“We started well, which was good as it had been something we were working on a bit,” Bombers coach, Ash Barnett added.

Hamley had welcomed back star recruit, Malcolm Greenwood, from a hamstring injury, while Matt Armstrong was a late replacement for forward Shane Hanson, who failed to recover from a knee niggle sustained at the Landmark Cup. Defender, Tom Would, was also ruled out through injury.

“It’s good blokes are putting their hand up when they’re not 100 per cent,” Barnett said.

The Bombers continued to increase their margin in the second term and took a 44-point margin into the main break.

“At half time, we really stressed about coming out hard as that’s where we had been falling down in recent weeks,” Cluse said.

HWE came out hard in the third term, with Justin Cicolella having a field day all over the park.

Leigh O’Donohue was shifted onto dangerous Bomber midfielder, Craig Taylor, and shut him down reasonably well.

“He was just mopping up across half back but Leigh went to him and stuck to the task,” Cluse said.

“It was good for Leigh as he probably hasn’t been asked to do that role much in the past.”

“Justin Cicolella was probably best on ground while a couple of their young lads were very good,” Barnett added.

“Cicolella destroyed us in the third quarter and I don’t think any team in the competition could have stopped him.”

The Eagles won the quarter, booting four goals to three, and at one stage closed the gap to within a handful of kicks.

“It got to a point where we were pushing them and the belief was up,”

Cluse commented.

“The ball movement was good and at times we had them chasing us.

“Regardless of what happens, we were going to push for a win as we’re not after nice losses on the scoreboard.”

As they have done so often this season, Hamley Bridge responded in the final term and answered the challenge.

“We also finished off the match pretty well,” Barnett said.

“It was a pretty good contest actually, they’ve definitely improved on last time we played them.

“The game wasn’t over until about 10 minutes into the last quarter.”

Greenwood (five goals) was rotated on and off the bench, easing him back into the game after his lengthy spell.

“He was great first up from a spell and he will only get better,” Barnett said.

Nathan Flynn was swung from centre half back into the forward line in the final term and booted two majors in a solid all-round performance.

“He’s been consistent and sound all year, a mainstay in our back six,” Barnett said.

He said Flynn’s versatility would no doubt be key come finals time, with the option of starting him anywhere on the field.

“I think it would depend on who we’re play as to where he would start,” Barnett said.

Luke Slok also played his best game for the year after coming into the team on the back of a limited preseason with work commitments.

“He was really good and I played with him in our premiership in 2004, so I know what he’s capable of,” Barnett said.

The Eagles were a much better outfit with the inclusion of Jack Hatcher, James Mader, Justin Cicolella, Dustin Guthberg and recruit, midfielder Andrew Turrell, for his first game of the season.

“Andrew Turrell, in his first run for the year, was very good after half time once we freed him up through the middle of the ground,” Cluse said.

Adam Turrell was also great in the ruck, Ash Lockwood was workmanlike for four quarters, while Tom Forrest impressed in defence and would be high up in the Eagles’ best and fairest this season.

Josh Kelly was shifted to centre half forward and battled well, while Cameron McKinnon’s bag of five goals was impressive while struggling with a calf strain.

Atorpedo after the final siren by Justin Cicolella highlighted the match, which soared over the goal umpire’s hat.

“Justin told me he was 90-metres out, he reckons he kicked it from the front bar of the Hamley Bridge Football Club,” Cluse said.

“He apparently said something like ‘Malcolm Blight who?’ after as well.”

Rams earn bragging rights

VIRGINIA won the short-term bragging rights against nearby rivals, Two Wells, with a surprisingly comfortable 44-point margin at the final siren.

Playing in front of their home crowd, the Rams were keener than ever to knock off the Roosters, who had the wood over Virginia in their previous four encounters.

The two teams were closely yoked at the first and second breaks.

An impressive third term essentially put Two Wells to the sword, unable to respond to Virginia’s onslaught.

Both sides had plenty to play for, Two Wells looking to shore up a top four position, while Virginia was looking to keep in touch with the top two.

Virginia coach, Joss DenEngelse, was more than aware of the importance of the match.

“In the context of our season, it was a massive game for us,” he said.

“It was either stay ahead of the pack or be back to square one.

“Early on, our tackling pressure was minimal and we missed a few easy ones.”

Two Wells coach, Mark Thomson, had also touched on the implications of a win.

“We spoke about it

Final score virginia 14.9 (93) d two wells 6.13 (49) Best: Virginia - A.Bascombe, C.Howell, B.Robertson, M.Young, M.Cox, R.Perre Two Wells - L.Franklin, S.Barker, S.O`Brien, T.Hines, R.Hooper, S.Feast

before the match and I thought everyone was switched on but they kicked the first two or three goals and it was playing catch-up from there,” he said.

A few positional changes by DenEngelse paid dividends for his team in the end.

Anthony Bascombe started deep in defence, and midfielder, Caleb Howell, played on the wing.

“Last time we played

them, they started (ruckman) Ben Slattery in a forward pocket so I thought Bascombe would be a good match for him,” DenEngelse said.

“It was the best game of footy I’ve seen him play at the club.

“We started Caleb Howell on the wing to try and take advantage of a mismatch there and either force Two Wells into manning him up or he would just keep racking them up.”

Central Zone squad selected THE Central Zone squad has been selected for the upcoming State Country Football Championships, to be held at Port Pirie on July 6.

Former Adelaide Plains Football League coach, Andrew Michael,

will lead the zone team for the first time.

Training sessions will be held at Lobethal and Mallala in coming weeks before a final team is selected.

2013 Central Zone squad: YPFL - Chris Langford (CY Cougars), Shayne Biacsi, Martin Daniel, Ashley Bruce U/21, Mark Dolling, Glen Mulders, Todd Price (Paskeville), Craig Fitzgerald, Adam Pitt, Nigel Osborn (CMS Crows), Dylan Mansell U/21 (Moonta), Riley Westlake U/21 (Wallaroo), Zac Miller (Ardrossan).

RAM, Caleb Jones, gets a kick away in junior colts, before Rooster, Jayden Brewin, can smother.

Howell ended up racking up touches regardless and booted three goals to be arguably best on ground.

Two Wells lost cocaptain, Tallan Leighton, to a hamstring strain, but a number of Roosters found the go-

ing tough at times.

“We had enough of the footy but couldn’t do anything with it,” Thomson said.

“It was pretty much down to our ball movement from half back to our goals.

“We would bring it into our 50, there would be a spoil or it would go out of bounds, it would be in there for three or four minutes and then they would clear it, and take it down and kick a goal within 20 seconds.

“They were just cleaner with their ball movement.

“We had about 60 per cent of the footy but our skill level really let us down.

“We will have six or seven players who are on but another 12 or 13 who aren’t, and it’s never the same players each week.”

Virginia full forward, Brendon Niklaus, had the better of Brad Fitzgerald early, kicking three quick goals before Thomson shifted Sam O’Brien to full back.

JACKSON Harnes, Two Wells, kicks away in the junior colts game.

O’Brien impressed, restraining Niklaus to two more goals for the remainder of the match, while Sam Barker’s efforts in defence on the resting ruckman assisted his side.

“Sam Barker stood the resting ruckman and did well, while Tim Hines was more of a loose man in defence and played a good game,” Thomson said.

Wingman, Lachlan Franklin, continued his great season, named Two Wells’ best player.

Thomson gave Virginia its due credit.

“They were good and we weren’t,” he surmised.

DenEngelse was relieved to come away with the win.

“It was a lot of preparation over the last week and a half,” he said.

The club looked closely at the Roosters’ at strengths and weaknesses and he felt much of the planning was embraced by the players.

“The group took a lot of that on board,” DenEngelse said.

It was the first game for recently added recruit, Marc Cox, who DenEngelse played with at Norwood in 2004.

“He stood out to me as a hard in and under player,” he said.

“I’m reasonably close to Marc and have been trying to get him across for a few years.”

DenEngelse said Cox played well and should get better when his match fitness improves, while midfielder, Brad Robertson, also enjoyed a productive match.

JASON Earl, Mallala stops Pecker, Tate Michael from getting to the footy, during Saturday’s A grade clash at Mallala oval.

MAGPIE, Brad Griffiths dodges Pecker, Josh Butterfield in the A grade game.

‘Pies looking like favourites • From back page Balaklava had taken a slender lead into the first break but Mallala was fairly inaccurate.

“We put a fair bit of pressure on them but that could have easily been five or six goals,” Lamond said.

“We were able to be fairly efficient with our forward entries early on.”

The second half once again returned to a relatively even contest, Mallala able to maintain its lead but the Peckers didn’t throw in the towel.

“One good thing is the boys showed a lot of character as many were probably thinking another 10 goals would be added to the margin but the guys really dug in,” Lamond said.

“Looking at it over four quarters, there’s probably not a lot I could be too unhappy with.

“Over the season, that one quarter when we were down was probably the worst we’ve played and they capitalised on it.”

Lubcke said it would have been great for his team to mimic its first half.

“It’s about hoping to play like that every quarter but realistically, you can’t,” he said.

“Ideally, we would have liked to have duplicated our first half.”

The Magpies’defence was also rather resilient, James Wildbore and Jason Earl running the ball out well.

“All good sides need a good defence,” Lubcke said.

“They really worked well and set up a lot of forward thrusts.”

Ben Parish started across half back in a change from his usual forward role.

“We knew he could play forward and back when we recruited him and it was a bit about his match up as well on Hayden Walker, where he would be able to match him with reach and agility,” Lubcke said. “(Ruckman) Will Farrelly was very serviceable, 100 per cent on how he played last year, so his progression has been great too.”

Forward, Scott Hahn, was unusually wayward in front of goal, kicking six behinds.

“He’ll be doing 100 shots at goal on Thursday night, don’t worry about that,” Lubcke laughed.

For the Peckers, Dean Storic again starred through the midfield and is finding some consistency, Hayden Walker worked tirelessly all afternoon in the ruck, while Justin Michael battled bravely in a solid four-quarter effort across half back and through the midfield.

“He’s sort of been rotating through the middle but played really well across half back on the weekend,” Lamond said.

He felt going into the bye with four wins from nine matches was not ideal.

“It’s not where we wanted to be but the second part to that is you look at the ladder and we’re still well and truly in the mix,” Lamond said.

“So, it’s not all doom and gloom and we’ve just lost to arguably the premiership favourites at this point.

“We’ll be honing in on the Two Wells game in a couple of weeks and they’re in a similar position we are.”

BALAKLAVA’S Justin Michael tackles Mallala’s Liam Whitwell.

Magpies shut down Balaklava A grade

Mallala overcame inaccuracy and a small first term deficit to hold out Balaklava, the ‘Pies home by 48 points.

A sensational second quarter of football with eight goals kicked by the home side effectively put the Peckers out of the contest by half time.

Mallala looked good early but had difficulty finding the goals. After an early major to Brad Griffiths, there were no more for the term from Mallala. A Chad Ruiz goal gave Balaklava the lead and the Peckers held the lead to quarter time.

Following the Ruiz goal, Mallala kicked five points in a row. William Farrelly and Justin Walker were having a good duel in ruck, but it was ‘young Wilbur’ who was starting to take some telling marks around the ground. Dale King got his hands on the ball repeatedly, Ben Parish in defence…Jason Earl…Jordan Clements was getting better with each game. In a warning sign to the Peckers, Brian Montgomery was also starting to get a bit of the ball. Justin Walker and Dean Storic had good early form for the Peckers, along with Aaron Cocks.

Mallala blew the game apart in the second term, 14 scoring shots to two, eight goals to one, in spite of losing Tim Cawrse to injury. Every club and every coach would like to bottle the way Mallala played this term, the ‘Pies winning virtually all over the ground. It was impressive play. The signs were there when Mallala opened with goals to Jordan Clements, Angus Bruggemann and Jake Birchmore, the ‘Birchy’ goal coming from an unselfish pass by Liam Whitwell. Defender James Wildbore even went forward and got among the goal kickers. Chad Ruiz belatedly pulled one back for the Peckers before Mallala again began to pepper the big sticks.

Aaron Cocks and Dean Storic had good second quarters for Balaklava but with not much support. Mallala were on fire.

Jordan Clements was again prominent, as was Liam Whitwell, Brad Hardie, Gus Bruggemann and Joel Montgomerie.

The game tightened up considerably after half time. Balaklava outscored Mallala by a point in the third term, but it was going to take a lot more than that for the Peckers to get back into this game. Mallala’s tackling continued to

hurt Balaklava, the Peckers not helping themselves with some loose checking in defence.

The final quarter saw two goals apiece, but again Balaklava were unable to make any inroads on the Mallala lead.

Chad Ruiz was the best of the Pecker forwards, Dean Storic best on ground for the visitors. Aaron Cocks had a good four quarter effort. Justin Michael, Lachlan Michael, Todd McPharlin and Hayden Walker all had patches of good play.

Mallala had contributors on every line.

Dale King was Best on Ground, closely followed by James Wildbore, William Farrelly, Jason Earl, Liam Whitwell and Joel Montgomerie. Gus Bruggemann and Brian Montgomery with three goals each, but it was Brad Griffiths who led the way with four. Singles to Daniel Feeley, Jake Birchmore, Jordan Clements and James Wildbore. While ‘Scooter’ Hahn doesn’t show up among the goalkickers, his six points rates as a virtual goal.

reserves

Mallala remains undefeated in reserves after accounting for Balaklava by 38 points. Daniel Jennings celebrated his 200 game milestone with a victory. A four goal to none first quarter set up the win.

While the Peckers stuck with the ladder leaders for the remainder of the game, they never looked like causing an upset.

Brayden Tucker was on fire early for Mallala with all four first term goals. Ryan Russell was on top in ruck and Daniel Griffiths killing his opponents in the centre clearances. Mallala were first to the ball, and it showed on the scoreboard.

Balaklava came back in the second quarter with a goal to Callum Michael.

Another to Nathan Yates from the goalsquare then another two minutes later, Callum Michael booted his second. The Peckers were mounting a challenge but again, Mallala had the answers. Just when there were only two goals in it, Derek Tiller stymied the Balaklava comeback with a timely goal before half time.

The game turned into an arm wrestle in the third term but again, Mallala were able to marginally increase their lead, before running out a strong final quarter.

Callum Michael went off injured early in the last term – a big blow to Balaklava.

Daniel Griffiths was best for Mallala with a stack of possessions. Leigh Gray

in an impressive performance around the ground. Ryan Russell was the dominant ruckman, Brett Start another Mallala midfielder causing the Peckers plenty of headaches. Throw in big efforts from Brayden Tucker, Jon Clarke, Brett Tucker, Zac Hallion, Lewis Helps and numerous others, Mallala just had too many good players. Some of the more experienced players served Balaklava best…Gary Wehr, Grant Willmer, Rick Lamond, Nathan Yates and Matt Angel.

Joshua Rentz, Oren Hearnden, Roger Logan and Callum Michael all had serviceable moments in the game.

senior colts

Ecstasy and agony – oh so close.

The winner celebrates, the loser contemplates about what could have been. Decisions made in the last minute are no different to decisions made in the first minute.

All those decisions throughout the game add up to a result. For Balaklava, 19 scoring shots to Mallala’s 14.

Thus the game unfolded, Balaklava kicking to the northern end with the slightest of breezes, gradually gaining the upper hand with Charlie Arbon showing his credentials. The tussle between Charlie and Daniel Elliot in the last three quarters was modern football at its best.

Closing Charlie down was near impossible, Daniel rose to the occasion The second quarter was Mallala’s term. The initial 10 mininutes was very tight before the drought broke. Finding ways to goal with accurate passing around the ground with Ryan Konzag, Adam Coe and Josh Watson a delight to watch. Wilbur Wilson made the most of those passes and created his own piece of magic. Angus Clothier was busy all over the ground . The Balak boys had to tighten up and the third quarter showed on the score board.

Josh Harkness, Bradey Kreig and Jacob Wehr gained the upper hand, the defensive pressure of Mallala was lacking and thus the premiership quater paid the dividends.

The fourth quarter was tight with each side applying the pressure, the lead changing several times. For both sides, this was great preparation for September action.

Bombers have eyes on finals Two Wells v Hamley

THE Roosters vitally need a win this week to kick a game clear of Balaklava, which has the bye this week.

Two Wells currently occupy fourth spot on the table but a hefty loss at the hands of Hamley Bridge could see the Roosters drop out of the top four.

The Bombers are eyeing the trip to Two Wells as a great chance to lock in September action and earn themselves a well-deserved two-week break.

“I think with the double bye coming up, it’s important for us to go in and have a win,” Hamley Bridge coach, Ash Barnett said.

“A win this week, we will go into the bye on top of the ladder and can realistically start talking finals.

“We should be just about at full strength barring any mishaps at training.”

Shane Hanson is a 90 per cent chance of playing after being a late withdrawal on Saturday, while Tom Would is likely to miss another week.

Sam Collings should be back from suspension, while Jayden Wedding’s return to the colts team from a broken wrist last week means he’s likely to be lining up in the senior side in coming weeks as well.

Two Wells now stands in the way of the Bomber juggernaut.

“I thought they were coming home quick but they got held up

by Virginia on the weekend,” Barnett said.

“They’re a really dangerous side, especially around finals time.

Les Pearson previews round 11 APFL matches “It’s hard to beat them out there.”

Two Wells coach, Mark Thomson, said his team just needs to rediscover its skill set it was renowned for last year.

“We just have to score more as we’re still getting plenty of footy,” he said.

Thomson will be conscious of the dangerous Bomber midfield, which has been vital to the team’s success this year.

“Taylor plays his own sort of game dropping back across half back, so it’s more of the guys like Valor Thach, who run forward of the ball, that we’ve got to be conscious of,” he said.

“They’re also a good stoppage team with blokes like (Ryan) Appleton and (Toby) Hasledine.”

United v Virginia

UNITED could probably be considered fairly unlucky coming off the bye against a Virginia team buoyant after a stirring win against rivals, Two Wells on Saturday.

That said, at Long Plains, the Tigers tend to serve it right up to their respective opposition and have challenged Virginia in the past when they weren’t expected to raise a whimper.

It’s something Virginia coach, Joss DenEngelse, is once again prepared for.

“Every time we’ve played United, we’ve been even at half

time,” he said.

“This week, we’ll be looking to start well and get a good jump on them.”

Given Matthew Young and Emmanuel Tsimiklis are travelling overseas over the next few weeks, there will be at least two senior spots up for grabs this weekend.

“I spoke a bit after the game about the next fortnight and how we will need our second and third tier players to stand up,” DenEngelse said.

It is hard to see just where United can target any particular weakness in the Rams, other than to stick with them as long as possible in the event they do happen to crack.

After a string of honourable losses, the Tigers need some reward for effort and there are few bigger scalps in the league than Virginia at the moment.

So, the reward is there if they want it enough and after a twoweek break for a majority of their senior squad, the Tigers should be able to field a team that has every chance of causing an upset.

Mallala v HWE

AFTER a reasonably competitive hitout against the league leaders last week, HummocksWatchman Eagles now face yet another stern test in Mallala, at the Magpies’ home deck this weekend.

HWE faithful would have been thrilled to see Andrew Turrell play his first match of the year, adding some class to a squad starved of depth through injury over recent months.

The Eagles have more to look forward to, with favourite son, Joel Wilson, a chance to return for this match.

Wilson has been plagued with soft-tissue injuries for as long as anyone can remember, so he may need to be used as a pinch hitter off the bench, although he’ll probably do more hitting than pinching.

Ruckman, Shaun Light, should also be available, freeing upAdam Turrell to play as a rover, while Justin Cicolella’s ominous form is a good sign for HWE. Unfortunately, Dave Oswald has been ruled out for the year.

HWE coach, David Cluse, said his side is ready for the challenge.

“We’re looking forward to it,” he said.

“Last time it was fairly combative at the start and they broke away after that.

“We’ll draw on the positives from the Hamley Bridge game and move forward.”

Mallala coach, Steve Lubcke, held a high level of respect for the Eagles.

“If they can get their full complement on the park, they could be very dangerous,” he said.

“We put a lot of work into this week just gone, so I’d like to see us continue from that and not drop off our mental preparation.

“Each team can be dangerous if you’re off the ball at any time of any day.”

after round 10 games

TWO WELLS’ Charlotte Romeo looks ready to receive the ball, while Virginia’s Sophia Terranova moves to intercept, in the Under 10 APNA game on Saturday at Virginia.

Final quarter surge seals win for Wells Virginia v Two Wells

A1: In a tight physical battle, Two Wells broke away in the last quarter to win by five goals.

It took a little bit for both sides to settle. Virginia players were throwing away big passes, causing turnovers. Perhaps they had too many wheaties for breakfast? Vir 9 - TW 14.

Two Wells were looking disciplined coming into the second quarter. Virginia were playing well as a team, but were providing Two Wells with easy turnovers with more lobs going out of court. However, Virginia managed to pick up some passes in this quarter. Defenders Cassie and Cristina Glenn were standouts for Virginia. Two Wells’ mid court were excellent. Vir 18 - TW 21.

Virginia made changes, putting Kristine Weetra into GA and with Emma Flanagan coming out of goals helped move the ball quickly through the mid court. Two Wells’ defence was tight, keeping the pressure on and forcing turnovers. Vir 32 - TW 33.

As had been the case all game, this was a very physical contest, with Two Wells breaking away to end the game with a five goal lead. Final score: Vir 40 - TW 45.

A3: Despite a slight comeback in the last quarter from Virginia, Two Wells held a slight lead all game and ran out five-goal winners.

A very hard fought first quarter. Standout players were Ashleigh LeBois and Kendall Wanganeen.

Two Wells were strong in attack. Vir 10 - TW 15.

Two Wells played consistently to hold the lead

30-21 in the second. Virginia put on pressure but just couldn’t gain control.

Virginia lifted their tempo to close the gap slightly in the third. Vir 35 - TW 43.

Best players in the last were Katie Vigor, Virginia C, and Amanda McHugh C Two Wells.

A4: Excellent shooting by both teams in a very physical and tight first quarter. Vir 10 - TW 12.

The hard and fast netball continued in the second with excellent defence by both teams. A good intercept from Cheyenne Krezjilk, Virginia C, and Bek Barons in defence. Two Wells were great at both ends. Vir 21 - TW 21.

The game was exciting. Virginia GK, Mel Warren, had a great contest with Two Wells GS, Wendy Salter. Vir 29 - TW 34.

Virginia made changes putting Mel Warren from GK to GA. The last quarter was a thriller with Virginia coming from behind to sneak home by one goal, 48 to 47.

Cheyenne Krezjilk was best for Virginia and Wendy Salter played a great game for Two Wells.

A5: Two Wells started well, but after their slow start, Virginia fought back, bringing the score to within three goals at quarter time. Goalies moved well in the ring. Virginia C, Alison King was a standout player in the opening term. Vir 8 - TW 11.

Second quarter saw Two Wells’ defence stand tall, rebounding and intercepting well, stretching out their lead.

Virginia had a shaky start, but defenders showed

Plains Producer, Wednesday June 19, 2013

patches of promising play which held Two Wells from racing too far ahead. GS Kelly Healey and GD Jodie Dadleh were standouts for their respective teams. Vir 12 - TW 19.

The fast and furious third quarter saw errors made by both teams, allowing for some easy turnovers. All players fought hard for the ball but Two Wells raced ahead. Vir 16 - TW 30.

The final quarter saw Bec Desmond come on after a quarter off and stepped up for some goal shooting. Both teams went goal for goal in the first half, with all players competing in a hard physical contest. The Two Wells girls maintained their lead to win 20-39. Best for Virginia was Jodie Dadleh, and for Two Wells, Sarah Dinham.

15&U: Two Wells started well with the first two goals but Virginia kept fighting for the ball. All the players were on the ball and it was an exciting first quarter. V5 - TW8.

Virginia appeared to have improved in the second. Two Wells, as always, are a strong team.

Two Wells GS, Amie Spoodler, was a fantastic shot. V7 - TW16.

A very exciting third quarter with only four goals scored. Both teams were hungry to win. V8 - TW19.

All the players kept trying hard with Two Wells the better team on the day running out winners defeating Virginia by 23 goals. Final scores V10 - TW33.

Virginia have improved immensely with their best Melissa Glavas. Two Wells were strong as always, and their best was Laura Oakley.

Hamley snatches top spot Courtside

A1 APNA review with Merridy Manuel

In the biggest upset so far this season, Hamley Bridge toppled top placed Hummocks in the last quarter on Saturday.

In other matches, Balaklava secured third position on the premiership table, defeating fourth placed Mallala.

Likewise, Two Wells and Virginia were fighting for fifth position, with Two Wells taking the win and just sneaking ahead of Virginia on percentage.

The season just became more interesting!

Hamley 50 def Hummocks 46 Hummocks have dominated the season so far, well ahead on percentage. However, the points went to Hamley on the weekend, moving them into first place on the table.

In this 2012 Grand Final rematch, Hummocks had all the pressure on their shoulders, losing their second place if defeated. Hamley, however, everything to gain and nothing to lose.

Hummocks were missing key players, Tegan Nottle and Bonnie Nicholls. Bonnie left the court early in the second quarter due to knock to the nose. The accidental blow caused bleeding

that didn’t stop until after the game ended. The court had to be watered down before play could resume. Tegan and Bonnie were capably replaced

by Ashleigh Williams and Beth Reid. Beth moved from C to GD, and “did brilliantly for not playing there before”, as noted by coach Sam Nicholls.

Hummocks led from the start, ahead by eight at half time and five at three quarter time. When asked what made the difference in the last quarter, Hamley coach Lee Barnett paid tribute to the positive voice on court and cheering from the sidelines. “It was like a Grand final,” said Lee. “We decided to go out and have fun in the last quarter and just play netball.”

Lee noted Hummocks were “rattled” and didn’t shoot as well in the second half. Lee thought GK Alison Schahinger deserved best player for her team, but umpires opted for Barnett.

Hummocks coach Sam Nicholls noted that her team started erratically and took a while to settle down.

“I’m obviously annoyed we lost but there are easy things that we can turn around and improve

Academy coaches guide young stars

Clare & District Hockey Association conducted a two hour coaching session on Sunday June 16 at Clare High School, with visiting Regional Academy coaches, John (Johno) Northcott and Dwayne Ramsay, from Port Pirie.

About 20 junior players, representing Clare, Burra & Balaklava hockey clubs, along with some of their local junior coaches, attended the session, gaining valuable basic skills along with some advanced coaching.

The training began with some important warm-up exercises and then into the basics, like how to hold the hockey stick properly, followed by ball trapping skills, ball hitting and defending skills, and at the conclusion, a fun girls versus boys scratch match, with John and Dwayne helping the girl’s side out.

Young goalie, Jarrad, also received some good goalie coaching with some different warm-ups, skills to get movement and reflexes agile. Jarrad, competing in the up-coming

Hockey SAPSASA competition, as well as the local Saturday matches, will find these skills very handy.

With the various skill levels shown by the juniors, coaches John and Dwayne had all players involved at all times. They know how to relate to the players and love what they do, which it showed through.

The enthusiasm shown by everyone, including parents, proves the Clare & District Hockey Association will have a bright future if it keeps

Perfect conditions greeted 36 players, keenly contesting the first round of the prestigious Moody Cup. Players were also competing for the Ross Veitch Memorial Trophy, which was scooped up by Scott Michael, who romped home in the Par round with +5.

A Grade scores were not pretty, and Bill Lokan showed just why you shouldn’t practice the day beforehand, with a day he’d rather forget!

A Grade winner was El Presidento, Ian Michael, with +1 on a countback from the man who is usually up to his elbows in it, Peter Thompson, with swervin’ Merv’in Hameister on -1.

OtherAGrade contenders were R Carney -2, B Parkin -2, M Loy -8 and B Lokan -9.

B Graders were blown away by Scott (as in Michael not as in Adam who didn’t play too well in the US Open) who putted like a pro to win B Grade, and the lead in the first round of the Moody Cup, with +5.

In second place wasDastardly Doug Taylor, who was all square, with Wayne Nagle bringing up the rear on -2, on a countback from Louise Michael.

Other B Graders to finish, with a sigh of relief from a few, were: Murray Smith, B Michael and J Michael -3, G Ackland and B Berry -4, J Curnow -5, A Henstridge -8, G Young -9, G Sonntag -10, R Hahn -13.

It was dog eat dog in the C Grade, with a wide range of scores recorded.

O Captain, my Captain, Dave Rodgers, took the honours with +3 on a countback from arch rival, Geoff Leo. Visitor Graham Dungey was third on +1, also on a countback from super flab foo-fighter, Andrew Manuel.

Others, who tried to slink away, were P Friedrichs and D Trickett -2, T Gilmour -3, M Hahesy -4, Mike Smith and M Liptrot -5 , C Hahesy -6, M Bell -7, M Hayes -8, T Matz -12 and P Meyers -17.

Toby Michael played for handicap.

Nearest the Pins went to John Michael No 3, Louise Michael No 8, Murray Smith No 10, Ian Michael No 15, and second shot No 2 Mark Loy. Birdies went to Merv Hameister No 18, Mark Loy No 2 (just as well), Dave Rodgers No 7, Dean Trickett No 8 and “Adam” Scott Michael No 3 and 9.

Golfer of the Winter points: S Michael 6, D Rodgers 5, G Leo 4, I Michael 3, P Thompson 2 and everyone else got 1.

Next week is the second and final par round of the Moody Cup, and also the Balco Trophy.

owen

It was “wheel screeching” excitement last Saturday as Owen hosted the annual Mid North Tyres trophy.

The smell of rubber was in the air as capacity crowds flocked to the event. Fourteen players made the cut for the trophy including club president, Peter Sullivan. Peter was pumped up for the event and said in an earlier interview that he felt radial about playing but wanted to take a low profile. Re-treading the past, this was one tour event that always makes you feel deflated if you lose.

Looking dangerous from the start, Bazz ‘Good Year’ Harkness nearly burst a mains on the first with an enormous drive centre fairway.

But this was no toy story, Buzz meant business and with a shock absorbing +5 punctured president Peter Sullivan and captain Brett

players with interest, to see whether they will now put the skills learnt into their games on Saturdays.

After the coach-

Fitton hopes putting to them in second and third after a CB. Raining A grade Champion, Peter ‘Dunlop’ Freebairn got the ok from the wife to play this week, chalking up some valuable course time. The Local Pirelli was dexterous with an effortless +1 and 82 off the stick came in fourth overall.

Then came Len ‘The Bully’ Beaty -1, Jake Bridgestone Harkness -3, Les Hean had a blow out with -5. Mick King and Ian Freebairn retired after 9, needing a wheel alignment with +1 and -2. A much improved Indo Leane completed his last round playing for handicap.

Indo was pleased with the result but thought he needed a good rotate and balance as the game left him ‘tyred’.

The return of renowned opal miner, Mark ‘Lois’ Lane was felt by all as his long awaited golfing reappearance was acknowledged.

Spectators got a glimpse of talent on the first as Lois put one right down the Lane. Vets Longest Drive went to Peter Sullivan on the third, NTP on the second Peter Sullivan, Pro’s Approach on the fourth going to Peter Freebairn, Pro’s Approach on the ninth and without doubt, the shot of the day went to Michelin man, Brett Fitton.

Ladies captain, Dawn Hean and Kathy Harkness were amongst the boys last Saturday, joined by former Ladies Club Champion and Life Member, Beth Harkness, who walked along with the gallery.

Beth later joined Brett Fitton and junior Jake Harkness walking the final few holes, offering young Jake some very useful playing tips. Beth, who’s handicap got down as low as nine, was a force to be reckoned with. The club hopes Beth will find her way back on the course one day bringing her wealth of knowledge of the game.

Next Sunday June 23, Owen hosts its annual open day. A 27hole extravaganza with bacon and eggs for breakfast, BBQ lunch and finger foods after play. For bookings call president, Peter Sullivan on 85286182. All welcome.

The club thanks the team at the Mid North Tyre Centre. Their ongoing sponsorship has done so much for golf in our region. Support the locals who support you.

Results from Saturday June 15.

The competition was a Stableford and second round of the President’s Trophy.

The course was in great condition following many hours of work

by Hoggy and his helpers, for the Adelaide Plains and Barossa Vets competition at the course on Thursday. Sixty-five players attended which was a great turn up – all were well looked after by Elaine, Russell, Helen, Boony and Judi.

The Saturday competition was well attended with 25 players trying to play themselves into form for the start of the Club Championships next week.

President, Chris Girling, quite aptly won A Grade with a fine 40 points (72 off the stick) to narrowly win from Les Grafton, also 40 points and Adam Bail continued his good form with 38. Ian Clark thought round 11 was as good a time as any to strike form to amass 40 points and win B Grade from Chris Barker, 38 and Hans Linford, 33.

Steven Kelly showed son Jack that he still “has it” with 42 points to win C Grade from James Weir, 41 and Michael Dimasi, 34.

It was a day to remember for Russell Grigg, playing for the first time since his bypass surgery 11 weeks ago. It was assisted by a ride in Les Grafton’s buggy and Les and Paul Shields doing all his putting scrapes, which was much appreciated.

John Deere weathered the financial storms of the 1850s with the help of his son, Charles, and the company continued to prosper even through the upheavals of the American Civil War (1861-65), with an ever increasing range of products including cultivators, planters and harrows, wagons and buggies.

He became Mayor of Moline in 1873, and died on May 17, 1886, aged 82 years.

But the name lives on – just look around our own district.

clay-rich soils of the prairies, causing many farmers to despair. Deere set to work to solve the problem – make a plough that is lighter and a ploughshare so smooth that the soil would slide across it without sticking.

In 1837 the pioneering new plough was tested by a local farmer with astonishing results. By 1842 Deere was making 100 ploughs per year, and by 1847 he was churning out 1,000 a year. As the inventor of the first commercially successful cast-steel plough, John Deere revolutionised the working lives of millions across America. This tool made Deere a millionaire.

Problems with supply of raw materials to Grand Detour meant that, in 1848, John Deere relocated his factory to Moline, Illinois, ensuring easier transport of steel from St.Louis all year round. Business boomed.

THE lowly number sign (#) was previously a virtually unused key on the standard keyboard, often solely required when indicating a quantity or figure.

Now, the symbol is virally used in an online trend called “hashtagging”, with words prefixed with the symbol becoming a “hashtag”.

Hashtagging was popularised by social network, Twitter, where individuals could prefix a word or phrase and the resulting hashtag could be clicked on to find other posts or discussion containing the same hashtag.

When a large volume of people were discussing the hashtagged item, this is when a subject or tag is ‘trending’, an indication of its popularity.

For example, the term #PrayForBoston was trending for a number of days following the Boston Marathon bombings, which was indicative of the number of people discussing the disaster worldwide.

Twitter has been the main social media platform hashtagging has been used, although other sites such as photo sharing page, Instagram, have also encompassed a hashtag function. The popularity of the hashtag has since inevitably filtered down into Facebook, where the hashtag function never used to work.

Ignorant Facebook users would hashtag a word or phrase and it literally achieved nothing, to the disdain of millions of fellow Facebook users worldwide.

Facebook has since embraced hashtagging technology, so get set for a wild influx of the number signs on your social media platforms. It will be painful for all hashtag haters out there, and believe me, there are many of them.

On the music scene, I had a listen to Paramore’s latest self-titled album.

The lead single off the album, “Still Into You”, has charted in recent weeks and

getting widespread radio airplay. The rest of the album also features some pretty decent tracks and in essence, stays close to Paramore’s punky style, albeit a little less hardcore than previous years.

I also checked out Fall Out Boy’s recently released album, “Save Rock and Roll”, which is decidedly better than their previous 2008 release, “Folie à Deux”.

“Folie à Deux” led to the band’s eventual hiatus and subsequent break-up, as it was such a global failure.

But “Save Rock and Roll” has a lot to like about it, reminding FOB fans out there of years gone by, when the band was at its best in the mid 2000s.

You’re every chance to catch a single release or two on radio airplay in coming months, so keep an ear out for it, as these lads are showing some renewed zest and vigour in their music making since getting back together.

Every setback is a setup for a comeback

Barnett was a selector and assistant coach of the APFL team in 2004 and 2005.

“The concept has changed a bit over the years to the round robin style, whereas it used to be just one game,” he said.

He will be trying to involve as many people from different clubs around the competition as possible to help in some capacity.

With the Landmark Cup only a month away, the coach has already begun to canvass the league’s other coaches for

potential players.

“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.”
