STAR OF THE NORTH

dream start

PICTURE: Lisa Redpath

FRAMED by the deep green of an emerging crop, Balaklava’s Murray Kirkland and his fellow farmers have reason to look pleased. Follow-up rain continued to buoy the hopes of local producers enjoying an excellent season, as crops soaked up the ample

moisture currently inherent in soils around the state. In the past week to Monday, Koolunga received 58mm, Snowtown 53, Blyth 34, Balaklava 31, Auburn 28 and Port Wakefield 26, with Owen and Mallala slightly less, around 22mm. Riverton received 19mm.

Mallala moves on wards District Council of Mallala will go back to community consultation with a new in-principle electoral model following a decision on Monday night to abolish wards altogether. It was an about-turn by councillors after a lengthy electoral review process saw them in May make an in-principle decision to continue with a ward structure for the district. This option had seen the council reducing the number of wards to three, with three councilors representing each ward and the names of Two Wells, Lewiston and Mallala/ Dublin proposed.

Bec O’Brien reports:

This decision was overturned at the meeting following a motion put forward by councillor Strudwicke. No division was called. As part of the electoral review process, council was earlier in the year given two options to consider. First option was to have no wards and nine councillors plus a mayor elected by the community; the alternative was three wards comprising three representatives for each ward and a mayor elected by the community. n Continued Page 4

And according to a recent survey, the timely falls have seen a “subdued” lift in the state’s rural confidence. The latest quarterly Rabobank Rural Confidence Survey reported about half of the state’s farmers (55 per cent) anticipated similar conditions to last year, while the

Wakefield rates debate RATE increases for properties in Wakefield Regional Council (WRC) could be capped at 15 per cent under a notice of motion to be voted on at tonight’s WRC meeting. While a 10.5 per cent rate increase has been proposed for the coming financial year, this figure is taken as an average, with some properties’ rates rising by less, and others by more than the 10.5 per cent increase. WRC currently offers rate rebates to keep rate increases below the 20 per cent figure.

Les Pearson reports: Central Ward councillor, Owen Chapman, lodged the motion under the belief rate increases of up to 20 per cent will be too high on ratepayers and proposed the rate rebate kick in at 15 per cent. “Such increases are usually unforseen and therefore not included in a business or household budget,” Cr Chapman wrote in support of his motion. n Continued Page 4

Federal cash aims at ‘shovel ready’ projects South auStralia

LOCAL councils have shared in a smaller amount of funding available for community projects under council area allocations in round five of the federal Regional Development Australia Fund. Member for Wakefield, Nick Champion, announced a total allocation of $338,034 in federal funds to Wakefield Regional, Mallala and the Clare and Gilbert Valleys councils. Of that, Wakefield did best with $158, 781, Mallala $110, 723 and Clare and Gilbert Valleys 68,530.

“This funding can be used to build and renew community infrastructure like sporting facilities, libraries, town halls, playgrounds and essential community services such as child care facilities,” Mr Champion said. “Importantly it will go towards shovelready projects that will allow (local) councils to generate new economic activity and jobs, while delivering infrastructure now and for the future.” WRC chief executive officer, Cate Atkinson, said the later RDAF rounds are smaller

allocations due to the shrinking pool of funding available. “The bulk of the money has been distributed, so the amount of money available to local government is much smaller than rounds one and two,” Mrs Atkinson said. “The government has decided, in this particular round, to advise councils that should a conforming application be submitted, then we will receive that funding. “They will certainly be favouring applications dollar for dollar.

Watch your speed

THE speed limit for vehicles passing emergency service scenes with flashing blue and red lights has been reduced from 40km/h to 25km/h to help protect volunteers and emergency service personnel. A Private Member’s Bill from Shadow Emergency Services Minister, Dan van Holst Pellekaan, to improve the safety of emergency service volunteers and workers passed through Parliament and will become law. This Bill will ensure motorists must slow down to 25km/h – rather than 40km/h – when passing an emergency service scene identified by authorised flashing red and blue lights. The speed limit reduction was welcomed by Wakefield Plains CFS group officer, Phil Duffield. “With the 40km/h limit, a lot of people didn’t adhere to it, so

the group is in favour of the speed limit being reduced,” he said. “A lot of people do more than 40km/h and seem oblivious to it. “It will make things safer for everyone working on the side of the road.” Current legislation requires drivers passing road workers and a school bus with flashing lights to adhere to a 25km/h speed limit. “This Bill creates uniformity and protects our emergency service professionals and volunteers by reducing the risk of them being injured by a passing motorist,” Mr van Holst Pellekaan said. “Whether it is a member of the Metropolitan Fire Service, a CFS volunteer, or a roadside worker, everyone that works roadside deserves the same level of protection. “I welcome the Bill’s bipartisan support.”

Election poll is the one that counts

Mr Champion

BOTH major political players for the seat of Wakefield at the upcoming Federal Election have played down the result of a recent Labor-instigated poll, suggesting Liberal Candidate, Tom Zorich, would overthrow incumbent member, Nick Champion. Mr Champion held a 12 per cent margin for the seat of Wakefield in 2010, reduced to 10.3 following a boundary redistribution in December 2011. He was philosophical about the situation. “You receive unvarnished feedback in politics all the time, sometimes from on the ground, others times in polls,” Mr Champion said. “My experience with polls says you

WAKEFIELD: SEPTEMBER 14 Les Pearson reports:

don’t disregard them but you do have to put them into context. “They’re useful to an extent but they’re not a prediction of the future, more so a snapshot of opinion at that particular time. “The truth is, in politics you’re always on the rough end of some piece of public opinion. It’s not a game for the light-hearted but it’s all part of the joys of the job.” Rather than get bogged down in poll results, Mr Champion said he would continue to focus his work on lobbying for local projects in the Wakefield electorate.

Champion’s debate challenge FEDERAL Member for Wakefield, Nick Champion, has called on Liberal Candidate, Tom Zorich, to debate the key election issue of the auto-industry. “I have written to Mr Zorich about the Liberal’s Auto-Industry policy and invited him to participate in a debate about the industry’s future,” Mr Champion said. “Mr Zorich has an obligation, as the Liberal candidate for Wakefield to articulate his party’s policy in relation to the auto-industry, which includes slashing $500 Million from the Automotive Transformation Scheme. “I hope Mr Zorich accepts my challenge to debate this issue, which is critical to the future of the Northern Suburbs and South Australia.” Mr Zorich is yet to respond to

Mr Champion’s challenge. Independent Candidate for Wakefield, Mark Aldridge, was happy to air his thoughts on the auto-industry. “The auto-industry, like most Aussie manufacturing, is doomed while we continue with the failure that is free trade,” he said. “It is an imposition directly forced upon us by United Nations directives, which it appears the Australian government forgets are optional, (as) the UN declaration of human rights, which is ignored when they write legislation. “Either we consider the reintroduction of tariff protections that helped establish our automotive industries in the first place, or we will be forced like the US to prop up our manufacturing, the losing end of the stick.”

Mr Aldridge said he was not surprised he didn’t receive a similar invitation to a debate from Mr Champion. “Labor in general will refrain from debating any topic with Independents for a variety of reasons,” he said. “When I have been in public debates in the past, as Independents we can speak from the heart and experience, something the party candidates are restricted from doing. But (mostly) they like to pretend we do not exist.” Mr Champion pretty much confirmed that viewpoint. “Really, there is only two sides who play on grand final day,” he quipped. “The teams you played in round three don’t generally get a mention.”

It was this aspect he felt was missing when it came to political polling. “When people get asked about national politics, they tend to make a different set of assumptions and look nationally, as opposed to locally,” Mr Champion said. “When looking locally, it is different as you’re working on projects that are important to them. “There’s only one way to test it and that is on election day.” Mr Zorich had similar sentiments. “The only poll that matters is the one on September 14,” he said. “Until then, I will continue to speak with people in Wakefield and listen to their concerns. I will bring a Mr Zorich new focus and vision for Wakefield.”

NEWS v District

WRC faces tough call on housing estate WAKEFIELD Regional Council will decide tonight if it will partner Unity Housing in developing Townsvale Estate, a residential development at the eastern end of Balaklava. The proposal includes the transfer of privately owned roads to council, which would be sealed by council as part of the development. The recommendation listed in the WRC agenda suggested council not partner with Unity Housing, or take on ownership of the roads.

A prudential report received from consultants claimed council would open itself up to considerable financial risk if it went ahead with the development. “The process was never going to be a simple one,” WRC chief executive officer, Cate Atkinson said. “It was one reason why I suggested a prudential report be undertaken, despite not being required under the Local Government Act. “The council does need to be aware of all of the costs associated

with, what appeared to be on the surface, a relatively straightforward issue. “But, of course, when land and development are involved, it is not a straightforward issue. “Because there is not a direct and balanced accounting processing on it, elected members need to decide if they still want to pursue it or not.” The road issue is close to the hearts of residents, who already live in the area, given the unsealed

roads are muddy in winter and dusty in summer. “Presently, we don’t have those roads identified for immediate sealing,” Mrs Atkinson explained. “While we could bring forward that work, any decision in relation to road work and the use of a significant part of the Budget could be viewed as a financial risk. “I think it is difficult for a community to live within a township where a majority of the township has sealed roads, while a small por-

Wakefield rate debate continues •From Page 1 The resulting report from WRC corporate services manager, Steve Jonas, indicated any additional rebates coming from a lower rates cap would cost other ratepayers in the district. “Reducing the rate cap to 15 per cent will increase the number and amount of rebates granted,” Mr Jonas said. “To achieve the same total net general rates, the total gross general rates would need to increase to cover the additional rebates granted. “Effectively, those ratepayers not receiving a rebate would be funding the extra rebates being granted.” A separate notice of motions from Western Ward councillor, Richard Pain, proposes a different rate increase model, with much lower rate increases over the coming five years than the current model in the Long Term Financial Plan. WRC chief executive officer, Cate Atkinson, said both motions should be considered during council’s special meeting next month. “Our current recommendation is councillors deal with those motions when they are dealing with the financial reports at our special council meeting in July, so all issues are taken into account at the one time,” she said. “This is why we have consultation periods, so decisions aren’t made too quickly and people can think about the position they would like to take. “Cr Chapman has made some valid points and council determined its rate rebate position some years ago, which can be reviewed.” “Cr Pain also has some points he would like council to consider and we could look at those.” The overall effect of either motion, should they be successful, is the time predicted before council could be returned to a surplus Budget would be much longer. “Having been here 12 months, I consider the organisation is efficient, although organisations can always find savings,” Mrs Atkinson said. “The issue councillors need to decide is; how soon do they want council to become financially sustainable “We can’t become financially sustainable without addressing the bulk of our income, which comes from our residents. “It’s those big items driving the decision here.”

Wandel elected new president of Mallala Probus

MALLALA Probus Club elected new office bearers at its recent AGM. Gloria Wandel was appointed as president, while Margaret Marshman stepped into the role of secretary. Meetings are held monthly, on the third Wednesday at 10am, at the CWA room. On the first Wednesday of every month, the group organises 10 pin bowling excursions. The group also attends silver screenings at Gawler Cinema.

There are guest speakers and a trip planned for this year. The group recently toured around the Barossa Valley, some highlights being The Gully Gardens at Angaston – which processes dried fruit – a cheese store in Tanunda, The Vine Inn for lunch and then Maggie Beer’s showroom for tastings. Everyone had a great time. New faces are always welcome. – Secretary, Margaret Marshman

Mallala councillors opt to drop wards •From Page 1 It was the latter option councillors voted in favour of in May but after reviewing community feedback, in which the majority of submissions supported the abolishment of wards for the council area, council are now going forward with a no ward proposal. DCM chief executive officer, Charles Mansueto, said the decision reflected councilors’ concerns the proposed three-ward

model was not fair. “There’s pros and cons on each model,” Mr Mansueto said. “But it really comes down to what the electors think is a fair representation for the district. “The proposed Mallala/Dublin ward was still too big on it’s own, in terms of area, for three councilors to cover. “Also, because of the proposed growth in Two Wells it would be very likely

council would have to undertake another electoral representation review in two or three years time if they persisted with a ward structure.” The no ward option will see the total number of councillors reduced from 11 to 10, with the mayor elected by the community at the 2014 elections. A three-week community consultation period will now follow, with councilors making a final decision next month.

The rain has given crops a fantastic start, although the ever-present frost risk is always a concern in the cooler months. Bureau of Meteorology senior forcaster, Darren Ray, said the district could be in for some cool nights but frosts aren’t necessarily likely in the coming week. “We are seeing some cold air moving up over southern SA throughout the next week, and are still getting some strong high-pressure systems with some light winds, so the combination is good for cold nights,” he said. “It does look like cold nights will continue through the remainder of June, with the next few months then about as likely in our latest seasonal outlook to be colder than average at night as warmer.” Overnight lows of between 6°C and 8°C are forecast for the

reation Centre on Friday, July 12 at 6.30pm. Current or past members, and their partners, are invited to attend the three course dinner, and enjoy a night to remember. Ag Bureau is a not-for-profit organisation run by farmers, for farmers. It helps bridge the gap between farmers and scientists, and assists members in working together on issues of common interest. Anyone associated with, or interested in, farming, agricultural development and education, is encouraged to become a member. Lower North’s representative on the SA Ag Bureau Advisory Board, Ron Milde of Eudunda, would love to see a big crowd at the dinner. “We have Chairman of Ag Bureau’s Advisory Board, Mark Grossman, opening the evening, and then interesting guest speakers, Professor Andy Barr, and Tarlee’s Don Molineaux, whose uncle was one of the earliest

Halbury/Whitwarta Ag Bureau President, Murray Kirkland is looking forward to attending the dinner, and catching up with other farmers.

be planted,” he said. “While the rain was well received by sheep and beef farmers, it was too late to really ‘kick along’ pasture growth but graziers have received a bit of a boost heading into winter.” Mr Robinson said that while overall rural confidence remained at subdued levels, he expected farmer sentiment to have lifted further since the

survey was conducted given the recent drop in the Australian dollar and follow-up rain. “There has been some good rainfall over the past couple of weeks and farmers are positive about the really good start to the season,” he said. “Farmers have also really welcomed the downward movement in the exchange rate and the pressure it has taken off commodity prices.”

am a big fan of hats. When I am outside or playing sport, I always wear one, regardless of the weather. I’m a descendant from a “blood nut” (that’s my redheaded father) and have had countless skin cancers zapped or cut off, so I’m very conscious of the sun. But one thing that irritates me, is when people wear hats inside. Now, I’m not talking about wearing it for a quick dash into the post office for your mail, or the shop for a loaf of bread, picking up your hot chip order, or sitting under a pergola having a barbecue. I’m talking about sitting inside someone’s home, dining at a restaurant, or attending a meeting, and keeping your hat on. Now for the lecture. Hats were invented in ancient times for protection from the elements – inclement weather, shade from the sun and shield against dirt, falling rocks or weapons. Ancient cultures such as Egyptians, Romans and Greeks wore hats as an indicator of rank. Hats gradually came to represent Mallala

Hats were tipped as a sign of respect, and were removed for national anthems, funeral processions and raising or lowering of the flag.

The Gallery plans to host more of these events in the future, so keep an eye out for the dates.

Public places are fine to wear hats – such as sporting grounds, lobbies of buildings or for the quick dash into a place where you won’t be staying for more than a minute or two. I know we are always worried about “hat hair” but who cares? Hats are generally associated with work or sport, so people will assume you have being doing one or the other, and accept hat hair as the norm. And a newsflash – if you are bald, get over it – we all know! A hat won’t hide that. So next time you are going out for dinner, or to a meeting, show some respect and take your hat off! Some places even make you “shout the bar” if you leave your hat on. Good, I say. If I wasn’t so nice, I’d remove your hat for you! I have done it before, just ask my nephew, Justin!

NEWS v Farming ICONIC LOCAL DAIRY TEAMS WITH ROSEWORTHY’S VETERINARY STUDENTS Bec O’Brien reports:

unique partnership between Adelaide University and a Korunye-based dairy farm, believed to be the first of its kind in Australia, was officially opened last week and will train veterinary students of the future. The family-owned and operated dryland commercial feedlot dairy, Bevan Park, situated just outside Two Wells, milks more than 400 cows twice a day and has been doing so for the past five decades. Operating under the Wirrabank Holsteins stud, which has become known for its high standard and quality stock, manager Greg Wilson, along with wife Jeanine, dad Brian, mum Bev and a team of dedicated workers, have weathered the many ups and downs of the dairying industry. The opening of the Dairy Practice Teaching Unit in partnership with Adelaide University’s acclaimed Roseworthy Agricultural College, will see the Wilsons step into a new frontier and at the same time give veterinary students access to a purpose–built facility and first hand access to working dairy cows. University of Adelaide ViceChancellor, Professor Warren Bebbington, and dairy industry representative, James Stacey, officially opened the new facility on Wednesday, June 19. Professor Bebbington said the Australian dairy industry faced significant challenges in the years ahead. “There is no doubt that its future profitability will rely on input from well qualified veterinarians and animal scientists,” he said. “The Dairy Practice Teaching Unit brings together the best of theoretical and practical education in modern dairy management and offers students a unique opportunity to learn from those at the forefront of the industry on an innovative working farm. “Our graduates will have the knowledge and practical skills to contribute to the future health, welfare and productivity of the dairy industry.” For Bevan Park manager, Greg Wilson – whose daughter Grace is the seventh generation to work at the dairy – the partnership was an economic decision, and a hard one at that to make – but one he feels works well for both parties. “I think the attention to detail is certainly increasing (and) treating disease with new practices, new methods, is something they’ve brought us,” Greg said. “Instead of us just treating ailments they look a lot further into the cause of those ailments, they will dig deeper. They’re putting time and effort and research into finding the next thing. “Maybe the biggest things we might not see until a few more years (but) I learn something from them

Practical skills and teaching stars align to create ...

THE MILKY WAY every day and they learn a lot more of the practical side of things too.” The teaching unit incorporates a tutorial room, a holding yard, a foot-care area, an examination area, a linear race with three crushes and cattle weighing scales as well as wash-up facilities and storage rooms. Adelaide University Head of the School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, professor Kym Abbott also attended the opening and said the teaching of dairy cattle practice is a significant component of the veterinary and animal science programs. “This facility is an important learning resource and gives our animal and veterinary science students the opportunity to learn in small groups so they can master

the skills essential for modern dairy practice,” Professor Abbott said. “Having the unit integrated into a working dairy farm means students will be able to develop their knowledge and skills within the overall context of a commercial farming operation.” And that’s something the Wilsons are keenly aware of, their dairy is their lives, their financial security, their history, but for them it all comes down to one thing – milk. As Greg says, “the core of our business is making milk”. So next time you are out shopping why not grab a Pura Milk, a Farmer’s Union Iced Coffee or Dare and in doing so you will be supporting the Wilsons and other dairy farmers across the country.

Free ‘E waste’ service for valley residents CLARE and Gilbert Valleys Council residents can now safely recycle their electronic waste without charge. The council has entered into an agreement with TechCollect, an e-waste recycling company under a program funded by the industry and mandated by Federal parliament. “Under the arrangement a large container has been placed at Clare’s Bennys Hill Waste Transfer Station which will be filled with collected and approved e-waste by council staff and then emptied and replaced as required,” council’s development, infrastructure and en-

vironment manager, Grant McKenzie, said. “There is no cost to council and the community, other than the logistical operation of the site. “Approved items can be dropped off free of charge during normal opening times.” Mr McKenzie said the recycling initiative was different to the previous free television collection programs, as it would be ongoing, so residents could access the service when it suited them. Items of e-waste that can be dropped off for recycling include unwanted computer

equipment, printers, scanners and televisions, which will be recycled and used in manufacturing new products instead of going to landfill. Drop off and recycling is free for the general public and small business – it is the owner’s responsibility to delete any data from devices to be recycled. • Items NOT accepted through TechCollect are game consoles, video recorders and DVD players, whitegoods and household appliances, power tools, radios, stereo equipment and non-computer batteries.

NOW IT’S...

PC GP

CLARE-based doctors are now able to consult face to face with patients at the Snowtown Hospital without being in the same town. The technology involves an online video conferencing system, using the cameras on iPads to link patient to doctor, despite being some 40 kilometres away. For those tech-savvy readers out there, it works in a similar vein to popular videoconferencing program, Skype, although Cisco Jabber is the application approved by SA Health for video conferencing purposes.

New remote video check for Snowtown hospital patients

Les Pearson reports:

Jabber is considered by the health department to be a more secure reliable program. While Clare Medical Centre executive officer, Danny Haydon, emphasised the preference to have doctors physically examine and converse with patients, the technology has several different time-saving applications. For example, if a patient presented to the accident and emergency ward at the Snowtown Hospital with something fairly obvious, such as

a fractured hip, a nurse could firstly assess the patient and then confirm the injury with a GP via the iPad link. This would save sending the patient to Clare for an X-ray and allow direct transfer from Snowtown to Adelaide for the required treatment. Phone consultancy is still available for patients to converse with GPs, although the iPad link allows doctors to also make a visual assessment of their clients. The after-hours emergency service at Snowtown was under threat following an ongoing funding battle with

Improved services for aged home care OLDER people in need of home and community care services are benefiting from the roll-out of the phone based screening service, Access2HomeCare, across the rest of country South Australia. The service provides information and referral to local home and community care services for people aged 65 years and older, or 50 years and older if they are of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent. The roll out in country South Australia started in March, and the service has been rolled out to Mid North, Flinders Far North, Whyalla, the Eyre Peninsula, Port Lincoln, the Murray Mallee and Riverland areas. Country Health SA aged care

director, Nino DiSisto, said the service now would be extended to the remaining country areas of the South East and Adelaide Hills, Southern Fleurieu and Kangaroo Island. “Access2HomeCare was first introduced in limited areas across Adelaide, Gawler and parts of country South Australia in 2008 and its success among older people means it is now being rolled out across the rest of the State,” he said. “Experienced staff help determine what needs a person has in order for them to stay in their own home or whether they need to be referred to an Aged Care Assessment Team for a more comprehensive needs assessment. “The service means all older

people across South Australia can experience a more consistent coordinated service with one referral point that aims to make it easier to link them with a wider range of services. “This could range from assistance with cleaning their home through to an aged care assessment for a residential care placement. “Access2HomeCare staff can also check a person’s eligibility for subsidised services and refer them to the local service provider who can best meet their needs.” Once their area is operational, people can call Access2Homecare themselves on 1300 130 551 while GPs, aged care facilities, health services and hospitals can also refer people.

the iPad consulting system was still in its infancy. “We haven’t quite had enough experience with it, because it has taken a while to get it up and running,” he said. “We’ve found it connects well and the picture is very clear with one unit in Snowtown, and the other in Clare. “I know this setup is being used by a doctor from Mannum, who provides on-call emergency services to Hawker.” The system was trialled recently by a Clare Medical doctor, communicating with a nurse in Snowtown. “His response was ‘I can see it’s going to be very useful’.”

Regional summit to highlight our needs

Nancy touched our hearts with her unique spirit N ancy Evelyn Williams (nee Lintern) was born on May 27 at Tungkillo, the third child of Elisha Seymour and Mabel Lintern. Nancy had two older siblings, Lorna and Mervyn, and later two younger siblings, Joy and Brian. The family lived at Tungkillo for several years, and later moved to Inman Valley, where they settled on the land. This environment sparked Nancy’s love of the outdoors, hard work, animals and gardening. She spent much of her childhood outdoors, preferring to follow a horse and plough for hours at a time, rather than doing housework. In the post war years, money was short and hard work was expected. However Nancy’s sense of community and sportsmanship was established in these early years, being involved with tennis and netball from 10 years of age. Nancy and her family were active participants in local community groups, and Sunday School. Continuing with her sporting prowess, Nancy ultimately achieved the level of A grade tennis player and regional netball umpire and coach. After completion of her schooling, Nancy moved to Adelaide where she worked as “Girl Friday” for SA Farmers Union. While her time in Adelaide provided her with a new social network and lifelong friends, Nancy’s heart lay in the land, animals and her close-knit community. At 25, she returned to Victor Harbor to marry David Williams. The first two of their five children arrived, Christine and then Kym. Money was scarce, and in an attempt to improve life, Nancy took in washing and ironing, and also worked at the South Coast Drive Inn Theatre, achieving management status. In the 1960s, the family purchased a scrub block, of 440 acres, just outside of Kingston SE.

They erected a house and Nancy established a garden which included a range of trees, such as golden Cyprus’ grown from seeds, various willows, oaks and Tasmanian gum. Nancy’s “green fingers” also planted a range of fruit trees, along with a new vegetable patch every year, ensuring there was enough fruit and vegetables for the family, friends and neighbours. By 1967, three more children had arrived to complete the family – Leeanne, Brett and Jan. Nancy was kept busy during the day, looking after the family, hand milking 40 dairy cows, and running a mixed farm including sheep and crops.

= OBITUARY NANCY EVELYN WILLIAMS May 27, 1932 – May 28, 2013

As electricity was generated by an old diesel engine until 1972, Nancy was often caught sewing, by lantern light, into the wee hours of the morning. It was important to be selfsufficient, so Nancy made clothes for all members of the family, and continued growing fruit and vegetables, buying only essential items. During 1977, Nancy’s marriage dissolved, and she was left to independently manage the farm and family. Her income was supplemented by working part-time in local retail stores. As the children were growing up and becoming active sportspeople, Nancy’s involvement within the community increased, both as a player and committee member. One of her favourite roles was as secretary of the Show Society, and she loved the mayhem leading into each show, and the “organised chaos” of show day. As the children left home, and after a lifetime of sewing, Nancy undertook a correspond-

ence course in dressmaking, just wanting a piece of paper to prove she could do it! Once she had completed the sewing course, she was commissioned by a local business owner for her variety of sewing skills, from mending and pattern making, to making suits, ball gowns and even wedding dresses. During 1983, Nancy was introduced to Keith Sommer, who “swept her off her feet.” He joined her on the farm for several years, before they both retired to Balaklava. They soon felt right at home, and once again, Nancy set about establishing her garden. Nancy immersed herself in the community, volunteering with Meals on Wheels, Mill Court, Courthouse Gallery, Munno Para bus, judging needlework at the Balaklava Show, and writing under the guise of “Wanda Weed” for the Plains Producer. Her great passion for gardening was founded in the local garden club and KESAB, where

she was an active member, recognising locals’ attempts at developing their own gardens. Nancy loved sport, especially croquet, playing at Balaklava for 18 years, winning many shields and one of only a few to successfully gain her umpires badge. Only the week before she passed away, Nancy had a wonderful time winning second division at the Moonta gala day, with Dulcie Williams, claiming “not bad for a couple of old girls!” Nancy will always be remembered for her broad smile, love of gardening and sport, and most importantly, for her community responsibility, friendship and unwavering love for her family.

Infrastructure requirements in country South Australia will be the topic of a two-day summit next month. The summit is a joint initiative of all Regional Development Australia (RDA) committees in South Australia and aims to shine a light on the economic potential of country regions. It will be held at Seppeltsfield Winery in the Barossa Valley, over two days on July 23 and 24. “This summit is the first time regional industries and all levels of government will have the opportunity to get together to discuss the infrastructure needs of the bush” said Rob Kerin, chair of Regional Development South Australia, the peak body for regional economic development in our State. Day One will focus on major economic infrastructure. Projects such as gas pipelines, railways, deep sea ports and electricity supply . Day Two will be more community focussed and will examine social infrastructure, such as educational, health and recreational facilities. Kay Matthias, chair of Regional Development Australia Yorke and Mid North (RDAYMN) said there was a solid understanding of future infrastructure priorities through ongoing consultation with industry, government and community partners. RDAYMN chief executive officer, KellyAnne Saffin, will present on collaborative funding and progress on key freight routes, utilisation of existing ports, intermodal facilities and development of industry training hubs. “This is an opportunity we have pursued as part of our ongoing work to realise the economic potential of the Yorke and Mid North Region,” Ms Saffin said. “The issue of funding is expected to be a hot topic at the summit and attendees will learn about public/private partnerships and how to develop a sound business case to attract the attention of investors and the government.” •Registrations for the Summit are now open.

Our heartfelt thanks go to Josie Errington, Helen Zubrinich and Sue Bittner, who gave their time on the day to help out in the kitchen so the CWA ladies could enjoy the afternoon. Entertainment followed the meal with guest speaker Ian Roberts, who gave a brief history of Blyth, explained how the Blyth Cinema was formed and told of its current progress. He also gave us a summary of his life until the present day. Norma Schell, Di Victor and Jenny Denton kept the crowd’s feet tapping with their many sing along songs and had them in full laughter with the numerous very funny jokes told. Neil Schell also sang a short solo. Marcia Roberts and Verna Wood – two of the oldest Blyth CWA members – were asked to cut the birthday cake followed by the birthday song sung by everyone. All enjoyed the delicious cake for afternoon tea.

The hotel, situated on the corner of Main North road and Wakefield road at Leasingham, was built in 1855. Charles Walton ran it from 1856 to 1864, and then again from 1873 to 1879. The hotel was a stopping point for bullock teams with their wagons carting copper ore from Burra to Port Wakefield. At the rear of the hotel were stables for the changeover horses used for either north or south bound coach runs. The hotel ceased to operate as a hotel in 1891,

These include providing adequate exercise and socialisation.” Dr Hazel said dedicated dog parks can provide many benefits to the community. “Research has shown that dogs that are highly socialised and exercised are healthier and happier, and less aggressive in behaviour. “Off-leash dog areas provide a community setting in which people can gather and socialise and offer a space for dogs to play with other dogs. “But while Australia has a high rate of dog ownership, not all people own or even like dogs. With increasingly contested and shrinking urban spaces, it’s possible public fights will occur in Australia over the use of open spaces to exercise dogs, as has already occurred in the USA. “What’s needed is continued researched into dog parks and how they’re used by local communities to provide further evidence of their benefits and ensure public exercise areas for dogs and their owners are retained into the future.”

NEWS v Balaklava

New leader for Lions Handover brings Terry to third term as president Balaklava and Districts Lions club welcomed a new president at its handover dinner last Tuesday. Terry Corcoran, a former president in 1988/9 and 2005/6, again will lead the club for the 2013/14 period. Terry takes over from Warren Durdin, who will be leaving the district. Distinguished Balaklava Lions member, Kevin Roberts, an Australian Lions Foundation award recipient, conducted handover proceedings at the dinner attended by about 35 people at the Terminus Hotel. Warren Durdin thanked all members for their support over the past three years, particularly “the wonderful support of wife Helen and the Lions ladies.” “As we are the only service club in the district, we need the community to support us,” Warren said in his final president’s report. “We have many people in the community who will help if asked, but find it hard to commit and become a Lion.” Warren said the club recently invited 45 community members to join and had a reply from 25 – with one willing to become a member. Newly-arrived Balaklava resident Michael Webster joined the club. During the year the club also welcomed locals David Anderson and Des O’Halloran as members but sadly lost Lion John Scholz and earlier, past Charter member, Eric Catford. Lion Bevan Baker retired to Victor harbor after 20 years service. Club membership now stands at 21. President Warren detailed a long list of achievements over the past year. The Lions donut van, always popular during summer basketball season, raised $9,577 from donut sales – the biggest earner for the club. Lions Geoff Dawson, Kevin Bubner , Kevin Roberts and Jeff Clarke are known as the club’s “donut kings.”

BELOW: Secretary Kossie Chegwyn pins a Lions badge on new member, Michael Webster.

NEXT WEEK: Gilbert Valley Lions handover The van was used on 19 occasions, attending basketball 12 times for takings of $5,058. The van also attended Balaklava Show, Balaklava and Mallala Christmas pageants and the Horizon school fete. Funds from the van go towards the various Lions causes as well as local groups. The club raised $4,718 for the SA Cancer Council from Balaklava’s recent “Biggest Morning Tea,” with club members voting to round the donation up to $5,000 from club funds. Warren thanked secretary Lions Kossie Chegwyn for her assistance and Mike Wood, who again put

together another successful Lions Youth of the Year event. “Our Christmas pageant was once again ably organised by Peter Guthberg and Lions lady Diane,” said Warren. Balaklava Lions supported numerous causes throughout the year, with 19 local, state, national and international causes assisted. Local support included Balaklava Eisteddfod, swimming pool, Owen primary, Shamus Liptrot Cycling Trail, Garden Club and KESAB. Activities undertaken by club members were numerous, and included:

Planting trees, can collection, battery collection, Meals on Wheels, food handling course, barbecues with the Lions trailer (including on Cup day, ANZAC day and Australia day), mini Lions auction, Lions walking trail, supervising high school students’ community hours, helping establish the Tranquility Garden at Balaklava Hospital and weeding garden areas around the hospital, helipad and Ira Parker nursing home and other areas. A mowing program also included Moody Estate’s parklands with weed spraying and tree control and mowing and erecting signs on Shamus Liptrot Cycle Trail.

Incoming president, Lion Terry Corcoran, said he was looking forward to helping the local community. “Lions International does so much good all over the world – but we also strongly support our local communities,” Terry said. “There’s many local groups and projects that benefit from local Lions members – but with our small group of 21, we need help from time to time. “We need more members, but anyone willing to assist without necessarily joining the club should call secretary Kossie on 8862 2067.”

Mallala council commissions sea level study DISTRICT Council of Mallala has teamed up with Uni SA to undertake a study identifying strategies to address predicted sea level rise, frequent flooding and coastal erosion along the northern Adelaide coastline. DCM chief executive officer, Charles Mansueto, said the study had been on the cards for a while and on site investigations have now begun. It is predicted sea levels along the South Australian coast areas are likely to rise by 0.3m by 2050, with a further rise of 0.7m by 2100 as a result of climate change. Studies previously undertaken by council and the State Government have indicated the four settlements of Thompson Beach, Middle Beach, Webb Beach and Parham in the area Plains Producer, Wednesday June 26, 2013

are at risk from sea level rise and frequent flooding under the predictions. The Coastal Settlements Adaptation Study will identify and assess the short and long term options such as whether to protect the four settlements with levees or sea walls, to raise existing houses above the ground, or to undertake a staged retreat of some, or all, of the settlements. The study will start with an assessment of the current and future risks to the four settlements and will include the potential damage to public and private land, Council and State infrastructure, important cultural areas, and environmentally sensitive areas should sea level rise, storm surges or erosion occur. It will also assess emergency services

access and community evacuation routes should an emergency, such as flooding or storm damage, occur. Mr Mansueto said council would ensure that the views and considerations of the residents of Thompson Beach, Middle Beach, Webb Beach and Parham were considered when determining the most appropriate options. A consultation program will be devised and delivered by an independent and specialised consultant to ensure that public consultation is both effective and timely, responses are analysed carefully, and clear feedback is provided to participants. A concluding report will provide clear recommendations on the benefits, risks and costs

associated with the recommended response strategies for each of the four settlements. The information provided will enable Council to inform and engage with the affected communities to determine “the best way forward”. Mr Mansueto said the Thompson Beach levee project is on hold pending the result of the study. He believed the study results would enable the community, council, and State Government to plan appropriately for the short and long term future of these four coastal settlements. “It will become a source of information for the relevant authorities to consider,” Mr Mansueto said. www.plainsproducer.com.au

Work expenses a target It is almost time for Australians to lodge their income tax returns – and to make it easier, the ATO will have new online services available from June 30. And with $18 billion in workrelated expenses being claimed each year, the ATO will pay close attention to these claims to make sure they are correct. The ATO focuses on occupations with a pattern of large or rising claims, as well as claims which do not fit the pattern for a particular occupation. “There has been a rise in work related expense claims among building and construction workers, and sales and marketing managers, so we will be looking closely at these claims,” Tax Commissioner, Chris Jordan said. To help get work related expenses correct there are occupation specific guides on the ATO website including guides for sales and marketing managers and the

building and construction industry. This year the website also has videos to help with work related expenses. “We recognise more people want to do business with us online including using mobile devices such as tablets and smart phones,” Mr Jordan said.

Go to www.ato.gov.au “As part of our improved online services, taxpayers who visit the ATO website will be able to access a new personalised homepage allowing people to manage their tax and super information online.” Once registered, people can:

4 Update personal details. 4 Check the progress of income tax returns. 4 Arrange to pay a debt, and 4 Keep track of super. This year the ATO will also launch Taxtime Magazine, a digital magazine providing interactive information to help taxpayers complete their income tax returns. It will be free to download from Apple app and Google play stores and includes video clips, digital instructions and interactive checklists to help get tax right. With newsagencies this year no longer stocking hardcopy tax return instructions, the digital instructions provide an interactive online alternative. For more information on individual tax return instructions visit the ATO website. “The quickest and easiest way for people to lodge their own tax returns is through e-tax, the ATO’s free, fast and secure online lodgment service,” Mr Jordan said.

It was a night for superheroes and their foes as the Two Wells Football and Netball Sporting Club staged another fun social event last week. The club’s themed “Heroes and Villains” night on Saturday June 22 saw Batman drop in, Wonder Woman hit the dance floor and The Joker steal the show. The Power Rangers were there to lend a hand as was Captain Underpants and his twin, The Green Lantern and a couple of suspect pirates. All had a great night, and the club is looking forward to its next event on July 27. After the success of last year’s inaugural Open Mic night, local aspiring musicians and singers will take to the stage to inspire, amaze and entertain. If you are interested in getting up on stage and showing the town what you are made of contact Eamon on 0417 149 062 to find out more details and book a spot.

Lady golfers welcome at Snowtown

THESE four brave, tormented souls were out for a friendly hit of golf last week at Snowtown Golf Course. The ladies (pictured below, from left) Cynthia Clark, Helen O’Connell, Sue Fountain and Kath Reynolds, all of Snowtown, play golf each week. They extended an invitation to any other women who are either keen golfers, looking for a new hobby or just interested in general fellowship with others, to join in. The ladies play most Wednesdays if the conditions suit, as they describe themselves as “fair weather golfers”. Mrs O’Connell said the group is predominantly social and the golf is fairly casual.

Roosters are back in form

THE Two Wells of 2012 rocked up and whipped league-leaders Hamley Bridge in front of a jubilant but chilly Roosters crowd in slippery conditions on Saturday. The reigning premiers’ form had been rather indifferent so far this year but there was no doubting the class and comprehensiveness of the win. Two Wells were missing Tallan Leighton, Ryan Hooper and Josh Osbourne, bringing in Luke Tryfopoulos, Peter Seccafien and Ryan McDonald. After a solid opening term, the Roosters looked in control at the main break, with an 11-point lead. “It was an arm wrestle in the first half but we stuck with our match-ups and in the third quarter, there was a patch of five or six minutes where we broke it open,” Roosters coach, Mark Thomson said. Ben Slattery took three key marks in the space of three minutes deep in Two Wells’ forward line, allowing his team to kick away from the shell-shocked Bombers. Veteran ruckman, Simon Feast, led the Roosters around the ground and took a number of key defensive marks to repel Hamley’s attacks. “Our midfield became more dominant,” Thomson said. “Feast gave them a lot of footy and his general ruckwork around the ground was like he was a 25-yearold again. “He had spoken about his commitment to the footy club after the Virginia loss and the limited opportunities left in his career, and came out and performed like that.” Hamley Bridge coach, Ash Barnett, had harboured concerns for this fixture in the lead-up to the game. “I thought Two Wells was a danger game and I was surprised they were beaten by Virginia the week before,” he said. “So, I was concerned about it going in and rightly so. “They’re last year’s premiers, so they’ve probably just taken a while to get going.” Barnett firmly believed his team could turn the match after half time, and even at the final change, but it never happened. “After half time, we didn’t come out of the change rooms, so to speak,” he said. “I still thought we were a genuine chance to run over the top of them,

as we have done with other teams this year. “The work rate of a few lads was down and we didn’t have a forward who fired a shot all day. “They showed great run and carry in the second and third quarters, so credit to them.” The 65-point loss was indicative of a team keen for a break. “A few boys have been playing sore and looking for the bye,” Barnett admitted. “Feast played very well and when he’s on song, he’s hard to stop.” Andrew Hardiman booted five goals in a solid performance up forward, while Khan Leighton and Eamon Fetherstonaugh recaptured some welcome form after slower starts this year. Ned Seccafien was also typically workman-like at the stoppages. “It was a fairly good win and we played good footy for four quarters,” Thomson said. “Scott Wise contributed all day and his defence from the wing helped the backline out a lot.

“They kept Hamley to under 50-points, so that’s a credit to them.” The 65-point loss was indicative of a team keen for a break. “A few boys have been playing sore and looking for the bye,” Barnett admitted. “Feast played very well and when he’s on song, he’s hard to stop. “They played to their best, with Feast, Fetherstonaugh and Seccafien up and about. “Justin Zanandrea played four quarters and may have even got some votes from the umpires.” Defender, Danny Ellis was serviceable, while Rhys Darwin again showed good signs for a youngster. “It was a good wake-up call for a few of the lads,” Barnett said. “We’ll freshen up for Virginia after the bye.” Despite the loss, it was not all doom and gloom for Hamley Bridge, sitting second on the table at seven wins and three losses. “At the start of the year, I would have taken that,” Barnett said. “Especially considering where we have come from as a club.”

REPORT: Les Pearson • From back page “We were keen on getting ourselves off to a good start and kicked the first two but I think the boys took the foot off the pedal a bit. “They’re a 20 to 30 per cent better team than previous years and always seem to challenge us.” United were again hampered by injury, Brad Graham copping a kick to his knee/leg from teammate, Ali Fleming, while Dale McLean strained a hamstring close to half time in his first A grade game for the club. Fleming was also sore from a heavy knock. That said, the Tigers led and were confident of pulling off a massive upset, prompting a firm reminder from DenEngelse to his team. “Inside, while playing, I was getting pretty angry and agitated, as we were playing a bit of an individual’s game and going too wide,” he said. “Conditions were a bit sloppy and the ball was like soap for most of the day. “We spoke about wet weather footy during the week but some of the players stuck to the normal game plan, which was never going to work in conditions like that. “I could have gone in yelling and screaming but the lads have been a fairly resilient side for a number of years so I reminded them to set our focus back on being smarter, going long and back to basic footy.” His team went longer by foot and it paid off, Brendon Niklaus getting on the end of a couple to regain control for the Rams. Until then, Niklaus was pretty well held, finishing with four goals. “Niklaus had two goals to threequarter-time and kicked a couple late in the game to get them over the line,

but Simon Schulz certainly did a good job back there,” White said. “Our whole backline has been pretty good over the last few weeks as a unit.” Kirk Kirvan also had a great battle with Virginia midfielder, Brad Robertson. “Cameron Faulkner’s long kicking was also invaluable in those conditions,” White said. Mark Pym was outstanding in defence. “We had to get the ball in a lot deeper as Mark Pym was getting in the hole and we were kicking it to him,” DenEngelse said. Despite the great endeavour from United, Virginia’s defence proved too strong in the final quarter. “The effort was still there but they pushed numbers back well, making it difficult for us to score,” White said. “We had a focus at the start of the match to keep creating a contest. “If we can make it at least a 50/50 battle, we give ourselves a shot.” The Rams held on to their lead, sealing a relieving but unconvincing win. “I was very agitated and nervous for most of the game,” DenEngelse said. “I think the boys really believe in the processes we’ve put in for the playing group this year.” Devon Oliver’s defensive job on Mikey Brown was recognised, as was Adrian Mark in defence. Ryan Starr starred on a forward flank, taking some great grabs in the slippery conditions and proving a focal point for the team. “It was by far the best game he has played for the club since I’ve been here,” DenEngelse said. “He was taking the marks no one else was able to grab.” Corey Stronach again showed class that belied his years. “I have a lot of time for this kid and he’s going to be some player when he gets older,” DenEngelse added.

‘Pies back on top REPORT: Les Pearson

MALLALA reclaimed top spot of the APFL table with a hard-earned win over Hummocks-Watchman Eagles (HWE) at Mallala on Saturday, the Magpies running out 29-point winners. In damp and windy conditions, the bottom-placed Eagles took it right up to Mallala early, booting two goals to match Mallala at the first break. The Magpies built the lead to nine points at half time but HWE were certainly throwing down the gauntlet. “They were really competitive and had a real dip,” Mallala coach, Steve Lubcke said. “We didn’t under-estimate them and credit to them, they came out hard and made us work for it.

“They were hard at the contest, hard at the ball and tackled well too. “They smothered us a bit and prevented us playing the free-flowing game we like to play.” The Eagles were missing Ash Lockwood, Nathan Greenshields, although they unveiled a mid-season recruit, Mikey Stevenson, from Murray Bridge-based club, Imperials. Tim Cawrse, Christian Rimmer and Matt Saunders were sitting out for the Magpies. HWE coach, David Cluse, was pumped with his team’s start. “Our first half was exceptional, the team played very well,” he said. “It was the style of footy we had trained for from day

one and we managed to do it for a half. “We made them chase us for a while and we sat on their major ball-winners a bit.” Lubcke identified HWE’s Adam Turrell as a key player to close out of the match, having dominated the centre taps and around the ground. “Adam Turrell was very good in the ruck in the first half, so we had to kerb his influence,” Lubcke said. “He was dominant with his tap work and positioning himself in the centre square.” Cluse’s message after half time was clear. “Press for a win,” he said. “We thought we were close enough and there’s no such thing as an honourable loss any more, it’s all about having a go at winning. Mallala’s class began to

shine through as the Eagles’ prime movers began to tire. “They were a bit thin because of their depth and we wore them down in the end,” Lubcke said. “Joel (Montgomerie) played really well and Jason Earl’s move onto the ball helped us get on top of the clearances in the second half. “We had to play smarter, so that was the message to our on-ball brigade. “We also had to get better at distributing the ball in the windy conditions.” The match was effectively won from the midfield battle, with Liam Whitwell, Dale King and Jordan Clements all contributing along with Montgomerie and Earl. Brian Montgomerie kicked four goals. Two shots at goal from

Leigh O’Donohue in the last quarter could have made things interesting for the Eagles but they were wasted in the end. “In the context of the game, if it was a different year, the may have gone through,” Cluse said. HWE’s defenders worked hard but couldn’t keep the Magpies out. Tom Forrest had played well on dangerous Mallala forward, Angus Bruggemann, but an ankle injury to Forrest ended that contest. James Mader played well on Ben Parish, while Travis Sharpe was solid on Scott Hahn.

“They’re a smart team as if a number of the forwards are being well-held, one out of the four or five other targets tends to be playing well and they will clear it out for him,” Cluse said. “We also had some deficiencies in our defence to work on.” Andrew Turrell was again good in his second game for the year, while Adam Turrell was outstanding. “That’s his spot, in the ruck,” Cluse surmised. “Jared Manners was good on the wing and our midfielders were good for long periods but dropped off a bit at the end.”

Magpies lose Eagles in second half A grade

After a fairly even first half, Mallala pulled away from the Eagles to record a solid 39 point victory. Again some relative inaccuracy of the ‘Pies, albeit in tricky conditions, letting the opposition of the hook to a certain extent. Hummocks-Watchman came out and looked switched on. The visitors worked harder and applied plenty of pressure. Daniel Feeley bagged a goal into the breeze. The lead was short lived as Leigh O’Donohue replied soon after. Jordan Clements goaled for Mallala, followed by Michael Stephenson for the Eagles. It was a close contest. Jason Earl, Joel Montgomerie, Liam Whitwell, Daniel Feeley and James Wildbore were prominent for Mallala. The Eagles had an equal amount of effective players; Tyler Williams, Justin Cicolella, Adam Turrell, Jarred Manners and Andrew Turrell. Adam Turrell, both

in ruck and around the ground, gave Mallala something to think about. Scores were locked away at two goals each by quarter time. Mallala opened the second term doing most of the attacking. Scott Hahn goaled, then Brian Montgomery. Mallala started to edge away. But this game was far from over. Justin Cicolella somehow managed to roll one through from a seemingly impossible angle. Then when Cameron McKinnon followed with another, the Eagles had two in two minutes. The Eagles were finding space, winning clearances and Adam Turrell continued to haunt Mallala in the ruck. More quality play by the Eagles, Jarred Manners, Justin Cicolella with all his skills, and Andrew Turrell. They had plenty of the play and backed their skills. Brian Montgomery got his second and again, Mallala found some breathing space. Fumbling and some loose checking by Mallala hurt the home side. With

the Eagles just nine points in front at half time, The Eagles were right in this game. Scott Hahn went into the midfield at the start of the third term. The ‘Pies kicked a point but when Joel Wilson kicked a goal, again there was little in it. Mallala’s kicking for goal was ordinary. Five points in a row before majors to Daniel Feeley and Brian Montgomery gave the ‘Pies a handy 19 point three quarter time lead. Jason Earl, Joel Montgomerie, James Wildbore, Ben Parish and Jordan Clements continued to lead the way for the home side. James Wildbore was in near career-best form. Adam Turrell and Leigh O’Donohue were prominent for the Eagles. The last quarter was mostly Mallala, the Eagles only managing three points in a goalless last term to their game. Brian Montgomery with his fourth, and goals to Brad Hardie and Angus Bruggemann finished off the Eagles. David Cawrse, in a return to A grade, had a good game at

full back. Jake Birchmore with a top mark. Daniel Feeley with his skilful hands. It was all a bit too much for the Eagles to cope with. Mallala were eventually home by 39 points.

reserves

In a game where the undefeated Mallala side played the winless Eagles, there wasn’t expected to be an upset, Mallala running out 109 point winners with Hummocks-Watchman failing to kick a goal for the second game in a row. With the aid of a cross ground breeze, Mallala led by 49 points at quarter time. That lead increased at every break. The ‘Pies again made use of the wind with a five-goal third term. The only Eagles score came into the breeze in the first term. To the Eagles’ credit, they managed to keep Mallala to only another eight goals after the first quarter onslaught. HWE tried several new players and while a couple of them made the best

players list, there is still a long way to go. Encouragingly for Mallala, its three best players, Lewis Helps, Allen Sparks and Zac Hallion, are only recently out of the under 17 ranks. Aside from Eagles recruits, Deryn Stringer and Glen Wilkinson, regularly better performing players Matt Hoepner, Danny Haggerty and Ashley Nankivell again played serviceable games. Mallala had winners everywhere, starting with Ryan Russell in ruck. Russell was simply unbeatable. Blair Buchanan and Brayden Tucker, with four goals each, led the scoring way closely followed by Derek Tiller with three. Brett Start, Jamie Speck, Brett Tucker, Paul Blacket and Chris Bilney all finished with singles. HWE take on United next week and can be expected to improve, at least on the scoreboard. Mallala go from one extreme to the other, playing Virginia at the Ram paddock. By Lindsay Nesbitt

Team effort seals victory for the Magpies SENIOR COLTS

Junior Colts

From the bounce, the wind from the North was strong, the Goliaths took on the Pygmies. The Hummocks-Watchman Eagles side was fielding seven nippy junior colts and Mallala’s big seniors were being gentle – what a sight! Mallala coach, Liam Whitwell, was experimenting. The X factor was Dougie Mayne. Tom and Ben Jones displayed their ability and development. Bradley Verner, Edward Parsons, Lachlan O’Leary and Josh Watson were assisting the Eagles in jumper eight and they were performing well for the opposition, in fact too well. A highlight was Lachlan against twin, Ben, in the third term. Who said brothers should be nice to each other?! Josh Watson linked up with Josh Appleby in the fourth, giving penetrating drive into the forward lines for the Eagles. Tate Nottle was his usual creative self, with a few more like him, HummocksWatchman will be dangerous. He was ably assisted by Chris Veitch, William Angel and Joshua Studham. The best goals came from pin point passing around the ground to players on the lead. Jarrad Dunstan was the recipient of many such passes and converted for the ‘Pies. Brad Wilson and Adam Coe had to contend with new positions, thus generating goals for Mallala from the half back line. The Eagles’ goals came in the fourth quarter with the wind. Respect for umpiring ensured no 50 metre penalties this week. After playing in the Rostrevor College mud earlier, Bradley, Ed and Daniel Hooper fronted up for another four quarters of football, such is the draw of club football. By Andrew Parsons

The first bounce was in cold and blustery conditions. Mallala’s Riley “gadget arms” Thorne had put his first mark on the Mallala scoreboard. Austin Kearns started with lightning speed, managing a four bounce run down the field, abled by his fellow teammates’ good shepherding. A running goal by Jake Tiller saw Mallala in the lead by 12 points. Eagle Christopher Harvey and Mallala’s Connor Walden had a hard time tapping out clear possessions. Josh Studham put Hummocks-Watchman on the scoreboard before the first time siren. Mallala’s Riley Machell earned himself a free kick with a strong and disciplined tackle. Mallala’s Connor Walden won the first tap of the second quarter. Dylan Howell, Mallala, was taken to the ground by Eagle Josh Studham. Magpie Austin Kearns brought a cheer from the crowd after he stopped his opponent from a sure goal. Mallala tried desperately to get the ball to the goal-kicking end, but the Eagles’ defence was stronger and sent the ball spiralling back from where it came, pushing the Eagles in front by two points. The third quarter saw the Eagles working well together through the centre, resulting in two goals one from Jacob Nipperess. Mallala’s Riley Thorne answered with a goal but Hummocks-Watchman was in front as the siren sounded at one goal. With the change of Mallala’s ruck, Dylan Howell was showing fierce determination but Hummocks-Watchman was to come home with the wind in their favour. Eagle Dylan Irrgang scored, blowing the margin out further. Mallala’s Riley Machell showed glimpses of greatness with Andrew Smith, Cameron Curnow and Tahjin Krieg. A free kick to Eagle Nathan Studham sealed their win as the rain started to fall. Mallala’s Connor Walden’s one handed pickup scored a point as the siren sounded. A well fought game!

‘Pies look to turn tables Les Pearson previews round 12 APFL matches Virginia v Mallala THE Rams ran the Magpies ragged in their previous encounter this season and have been a tough hombre for Mallala to beat in recent seasons. Virginia coach, Joss DenEngelse, said the opportunity to lead the league is a great motivational factor for the match. “We set ourselves a goal at the start of the season to finish top at the end of the minor round and we’ve got a good opportunity at our own fortress to get that ball rolling,” he said. “In the past, a lot of our planning has worked on these guys. “We’ll be looking to put a lot of pressure on their ball carriers, which is an area we’ve really stepped up this year.” The Magpies have shown outstanding form since dropping that match to the Rams, limited injuries and plenty of depth indicating they’ll be around the mark come finals time. “We’ve been fairly consistent with our personnel all year, so we’re fairly settled in that respect,” Mallala coach, Steve Lubcke said. It would be an ideal time to send a message to the Magpies’ rivals. “We’d certainly like to turn the tables,” Lubcke said. “They’ll probably be participating in finals, so it is important for us to play well against them. “You take a lot out of the first time you play a team and they smashed us with their running game of all things. “When playing them the second time, we’ll take into consideration who their major contributors are and look to negate their strengths and exploit their weaknesses.” HWE v United SITTING last and second to last on the table respectively, getting off the foot of the ladder, or staying off the bottom, appears the main motivation for Hummocks-Watchman Eagles and United when they meet at Lochiel this weekend. Both sides put in competitive efforts against highly rated opponents last week but all that goes out the window now, as a loss would be devastating

for either team. United coach, David White, said it was important his team shows similar fight to what it did against Virginia, when the Tigers nearly won the match. “What we need to do now is back it up,” he said. “We need to get in winning positions and convert them into wins. “The boys were hurting after the game on Saturday, so they’ll need to use that as motivation going into this game.” He was more than aware of the importance of the match for HWE. “They’ll see this as a big game for them as well,” White said. Despite being competitive for a majority of the season, the Tigers have only two wins from nine matches. “It’s really about getting reward for effort and we need a win just to regain that belief in ourselves,” White said. “It doesn’t feel like we should be 2-7, more like 50/50, but we’re not. Brad Graham may not come up from his knock on Saturday, while Ali Fleming’s return to the A grade side after a long injury lay-off has been welcomed. “He certainly showed me a lot of things that suggest he will be a very

valuable player,” White said. In the Eagles’ camp, they will be keen to play a similar brand of football from their first half against Mallala. Tom Forrest is a chance to play, while Josh Kelly has been ruled out for the season following nonfooty related surgery. “Sustaining it is so important and something for the young lads to learn, if you keep at it, the results will come,” HWE coach, David Cluse said. He felt the team’s onball strength could prove

the difference. “We should have more rotations this week and we’ll work on getting our plan right at the back,” Cluse added. “United like to get numbers behind the ball at half back, so we’ll put some things in place to counter that.” Balaklava v Two Wells TWO Wells travel to Ralli Park on Saturday to take on Balaklava coming into the match off the bye. The Peckers were snapping at the heels of the Roosters but the win

over Hamley Bridge has opened a small gap between the two teams currently battling for fourth spot. Two Wells coach, Mark Thomson, said it was time his team showed some consistency. “We had spoken about starting our season from Saturday as we were sitting at 4-4, so we had to start beating teams above us to stay in touch, as well as keep a gap between us and the teams below us,” he said. “It will be a big game in the context of both teams’ seasons. “We’ve got to try and take the confidence from Saturday into the game this week.” In doubt from the Roosters camp are Ben Spiteri (arm), Andrew Hardiman (finger) and Khan Leighton (ankle). Ryan Hooper and Josh Osbourne should be chances to play, while Tallan Leighton is likely to miss another week with a hamstring. Thomson felt the large oval at Balaklava augured for a good contest. “That’s to the advantage of both teams, their leg speed on a large oval,” he said. “Hopefully it’s a fine day, where both teams bring their skills for a good match.” Peckers full-back, Derek Friedrichs, could be in doubt with a hamstring strain sustained against Mallala but otherwise, Balaklava should be near a full clip. The return of key forward, Jonathon Brice, from a knee reconstruction couldn’t come soon enough and would bolster Balaklava’s under strength attack.

‘Kicking in’ could win your club $1,000 ENERGY firm, Origin, is calling on local football clubs in South Australia to nominate the unsung heroes who ‘kick in’ a little extra at their club. The Origin Community Kick In will reward local football volunteers who work tirelessly in the wings, often with little recognition, by donating $1000 to a different club each week for the rest of the AFL season. Origin Community Kick In Ambassador, Bill Brownless, said the program provides a great way of giving back to those who have spent years contributing to the game they love. “All football clubs have volunteers who donate their time and commit a huge amount of their lives to their football club,” Brownless explained. “They are usually helping out behind the scenes and much of what they do goes unnoticed, but they are the heart and soul of their club.” From today, footy clubs in Southern South Australia are invited to nominate volunteers by visiting www.originenergy. com.au/communitykickin and describing how their volunteer goes ‘above and beyond’ for their club.

All applications will be eligible to win $1,000 for their club and one winning volunteer will be selected each week. Applications close on Sunday, September 3. As well as the club grant, each winning volunteer will take home a 2014 AFL club membership of their choice. Origin community partnerships manager, Amy Stockfeld said the company was excited to help celebrate such a vital part of the game – the volunteers. “This initiative will recognise their tireless efforts and support the club and game in a meaningful way,” she said. At the end of the application phase, the ten Origin Community Kick In winning volunteers will be profiled on the Origin Big Kick In Facebook page and the public will be invited to vote for two People’s Choice Champions. The two champions will win a 2013 Toyota AFL Grand Final Experience including two Centre Square tickets to the 2013 AFL Grand Final.

Royal ends Dublin’s streak

DUBLIN’S darts dominance was ended last Wednesday night when the Royal Hotel team snapped Dublin Two’s streak to win the Adelaide Plains Darts grand final at Owen. Dublin Two was chasing a fifth consecutive title and looked on target to take out the title after winning the first two doubles ties. Royal Hotel hit back, winning the next three singles ties, before Dublin two levelled things 3-all at the conclusion of the four

singles matches. The teams tie proved to be the decider, Col Heslop pegging out for the Royal Hotel team to give his side victory. Royal Hotel reserve, Peter Friedrichs, said the team had worked hard in the lead up to the final, travelling to Lochiel and at times, Owen, for practise sessions. The team celebrated the win with a barbecue and drinks on Monday evening.

Golf Balaklava

Hi there golf fans - we’re tight on time so cop this little lot and profit from the experience: we played the second round of the Moody Cup Trophy last Saturday and that non-shearing, new ute piloting sensation, Scott Michael, won it with an aggregate score of +3. Rampaging Ron Carney (-2) came second, so we’ll forget his name really soon, leaving Peter Thompson (-3) to claim third spot over Ian Michael on a count back. We also contested the Balco Trophy, but only mighty Merv Hameister (+3) could win the thing. Our very own “ginja Ninja” Dave “Apple Cider” Rodgers (+2) came in as a proud, but totally meaningless “Runner Up”. On the day, the A grade produced a +3 from Merv, a -2 from Ron and a -3 from both Ian Michael and Peter Thompson. But now, let’s turn our collective gaze to the bloated B grade field, from which emerged, wind-swept and dashingly pokerfaced, that welding wunder-kind David “The Devo” Rodgers with his score of +2, although he needed the services of the good Count to push Michaels Ben and Scott into second and third respectively. In their wake, a litany of disasters: W. Nagle +1, J. Michael -1, G. Leo -2, M. Newton -3, R. Hahn -6, Louise Michael -7, A. Henstridge -7, D. Trickett -8, M. Smith -13 (my life!) and two motorised man-mountains, W. Berry and J. Curnow, DNFs… A healthy C grade field produced a rare winner in the understated Ian Jenkins (square), too good for short-game fiend Mike Hahesy (-1) and our very own “Publican to the Proletariat” Peter Friedrichs (-4). Then came Tania Matz (-5), M. Liptrot (-7), T. Gilmour (-8), A. Manuel (-8) and mesdames Moya Hayes and Chis Hahesy as star DNFs. Four new players got involved for handicap scores, they being Kym and Ryan McPharlin, Jeff Cowan and fire-lighting legend Toby Michael.

A friendly Ambrose match quickly ignited into fierce competi-

tion, as team Freebairn brought out their secret weapon former ladies Club Champion, secretary Pam Freebairn for the first time this season. The husband and wife combination made short work of the course, taking an early lead on the rest of the field. It got tight midway through the match with team Harkness, Buzz, Jake and Wayne Healslip narrowing the Freebairn hold. Team Owen, president Peter Sully, captain Brett Fitton, course manager Les Hean and the bad boy Beaty also came close finishing strong with a couple of Birdies to come in second but it was all trouble and strife with Pam carrying her husband Peter over the threshold to win the day. Owen attracted the Mid North and Barossa’s finest golfers as the club hosted its annual open day last Sunday. With 32 entries, there were close results throughout all grades in the 27 hole competition. With the rain holding off, the majority were able to finish with only four players retiring from the competition.

Longies girls grab their first win Courtside

A1 APNA review with Merridy Manuel

Down by a goal at three quarter time, Long Plains demolished Virginia in the last quarter to take their first win of the season. Hummocks recovered from last weekend’s blemish on their flawless season, beating Mallala by 17 goals. Hamley polished off Two Wells by a huge 23 goals. It was miserable conditions on Saturday with all games doused with rain and chilled by gusty breezes. Long Plains 61 def Virginia 48 At last Longies have points alongside their name! In a huge final quarter, where Jane McBride shot 18 goals, the girls from the Plains captured their first win for the season. Coach, Michelle Doherty was delighted to send in this week’s score sheet. “We have been building towards this and I hope it is the turning point for the season. “The girls’ confidence in the game plan and in each other has grown.” Michelle gave credit to GS Alicia Sharman, for executing the role she was given, enabling GA Jane McBride to shot the huge tally of goals in the last quarter. This is the highest number of goals shot by one goalie so

far this season. (Amber Rogers is close behind, shooting 17 in a quarter in Round 4 and again on the weekend). Michelle also mentioned the efforts of Hannah McArdle at WD. Alicia was named best player for the match. Virginia’s coach, Sherilee Matheson commented that it was an even contest and only the last quarter made the difference. “We lost our focus and concentration in the last quarter. “Credit to Long Plains GA (Jane McBride) who shot well.” Sherilee won best player for her team at GS. Quarter scores (LP – Vir): first 15-11, second 27-27, third 40-41, final 61-48. Hummocks 55 def Mallala 38 Almost an identical score line to the last time they met in round three, Hummocks took the lead from the start and outscored Mallala in every quarter. In the last quarter Hummocks scored 18 goals to Mallala’s nine to stretch the margin from eight to 17. Both coaches mentioned the awful netball conditions. “With slippery courts it was a contest of who could be steadier,” commented Hummocks coach, Samantha Nicholls.

Hummocks GD, Bonnie Nicholls won best player on Saturday and also the most stylish bandaging award, or should that be “most blood lost” certificate. Her head re-

ceived a knock which split her eye open, requiring a snazzy “rock star” bandage. Last weekend, a blow in the second quarter saw Bonnie leave the court with an unstoppable nose bleed.

Local residents claimed it was the worst sand drift since 1945. • The wind that hit Pt.Wakefield caused ‘HELL’ in the seaside town. It blew the ‘S’ from a petrol sign at Kipling’s Shell roadhouse. • Nominations for the Federal seat of Wakefield included Mr. C.R.

He said a specimen found at Watchman weighed 18 ounces and was 10” across. • Balaklava footballers remained undefeated with a big win over RAAF – scores 18.19 to 6.7.

No surprises there. He was clearly the most talented vocalist, so on a show called “The Voice”, this would be considered the most important factor. For a start, Craig is far more likeable than last year’s winner, Karise Eden. His vocals are just so silky smooth too, they would rival most singers out there on the touring or recording circuit. My only criticism of him is he seems to be some sort of performing robot. He sang to the camera, pandered to the audience and didn’t put a foot wrong throughout the whole competition. Craig was a ready-made winner of the competition and it was clear in the latter rounds that he was going to win the gong when Sportsbet paid out early on bets on Craig. Forgone conclusion all along but no doubt will go somewhere. His fellow finalists, however, may not.

as far as composition and lyrics are concerned. Palm-muted verses with a nice four-chorded chorus is a staple for hit rock songs and “Branded” delivers just that. It’s catchy, it’s funky and it has a message behind it all. The lyric “so let them listen, so let them gather ‘round” thumbs its nose to the world as many Grinspoon fans would be familiar with. Lead singer, Phil Jamieson, delivers a consistent vocal performance, although it never really reaches any great heights.

EVERY now and then a song comes along you can’t help but hit the repeat button and just cop it on a continuous loop for hours on end. Grinspoon’s latest single, “Branded”, was that song for me last week. I caught a snippet of it on the radio and did the old lyric search, linking it back to one of Australia’s greatest ever offerings to rock music. “Branded” is arguably the most pop-friendly songs on the band’s new album, “Black Rabbits”. It’s a classic tale-telling tune, although this is more Puzzle 26 (Medium, difficulty rating 0.53) done through the song’s 7 4 8 5 3 9 1 6 2 music video. 6 9 3 1 2 7 4 5 8 The video depicts the 5 2 1 8 4 6 9 7 3 tumultuous relationship 2 3 9 two 6 1young 4 5 lovers, 8 7 between 1 8a delightful 7 3 9 5little 2 twist 4 6 at with 4 end 5 6I never 7 8 saw 2 3coming, 9 1 the 8 1 5 9 7 3 6 2 4 although there are several 9 7in 4the2 lead 6 1up8to3the 5 clues 3 6 finale. 2 4 5 8 7 1 9 song’s The song itself is standard Puzzle 29 (Hard, difficulty rating 0.68)
