What is your idea of real “community spirit?” Riverton local, Keith Mogridge, is the epitome of community spirit, for a recent remarkable act of generosity to his district, one that ensures the long term future of one of the most important organisations in the area – Gilbert Valley Senior Citizens Homes.

Louise Michael reports: Keith, 87, has lived in Riverton for the past 20 years, and decided last year to “gift” his house and five acres of land to GV Senior Citizens Homes. Here’s how it came about: In August 2012, GV Senior Citizens Homes CEO, Graham Ackland, received a call from Keith, asking him to call in.

“I didn’t know Keith prior to this, and when he gave me a letter detailing his wish to “gift” his home and land to the Homes, I couldn’t believe it,” said Graham. Chairman of GV Senior Citizens Homes, Brian Kemp, said when the letter was tabled at the next Board meeting, everyone there was gobsmacked. “We are just so grateful to Keith for his

NEWS v District

Council bows out of estate WAKEFIELD Regional Council elected not to continue with the residential development at Townsvale Estate, owned privately by Murray Gates, in a proposed partnership with Unity Housing, with risk factors on council considered too high. That said, councillors went to great lengths to ensure negotiations with Unity Housing would continue. Much of the risk surrounds the potential cost to council of more than $800,000 for the infrastructure required, with only two blocks of land as compensation to offset that investment. Speaking at last week’s council meeting, Southern Ward councillor, Rodney Reid said: “In terms of partnering Unity Housing with the development in its current format, I take the wording of ‘current format’ very seriously, because I would like to see council negotiate

Les Pearson reports: further and look at other options. I don’t think we’re in the position to abandon the whole area at this point, because of the residents who do already live there. “I think we either need to be putting pressure on the original land owner, who sold the blocks, or to look at other ways to make it a more viable option.” One alternative was for council to inherit more blocks of land to sell to better offset the financial impost. “Maybe then it is a very viable option to go back to Unity,” Cr Reid said. “I can understand, when you look at the prudential report and the enormous risk and cost factors for council, why it would be undesirable at this point in its existing format, but I would

still like it to be further explored.” Western Ward councillor, Richard Pain, said there was an historical example of council’s resolution to stay clear of the Townsvale Estate in 2003. “It was made quite clear the developer was required to provide an engineering report to council from a qualified person pertaining to the Wakefield River flooding potential,” Cr Pain said. “This is due to the subject land (which) includes low level ground in its vicinity. “It is an ideal situation for Mr Gates and Unity to get together and decide how they could go about doing it. Unity could take all the blocks out there, rather than have council involved. “The previous report made it clear it was very high risk. This report is probably even

more damning.” Cr Pain said much of the responsibility falls to the developer. “Mr Gates has been selling blocks out there since 2002. He has made lots of money and nothing has been put back in,” he said. Central Ward councillor, Owen Chapman, also wanted discussions to continue. “I’m certainly not in favour of cutting negotiations off at this stage,” he said. Mayor, James Maitland, said there was no mention of stopping negotiations. “My suggestion is the recommendation, as it currently reads, does not stop that happening,” Mr Maitland said. “It doesn’t say it should happen but it doesn’t stop it.” Council voted in favour of the motion as it was written, while Central Ward councillors, David Lamond and Owen Chapman, voted against, after Cr Lamond called for a division.

Plan to build Lewiston as a community

“GATHERING” is the name of the artwork at Greenwood Park road, Auburn, where Art on the Riesling Trail committee members gathered to celebrate the new focal point. From left are Graham Richards, Pam Jacobsen (chair), Kim Bleeker, Chrissy Van der Jeugd.– PICTURE: Lisa Redpath.

Striking Riesling Trail art gathers praise PEDESTRIANS and cyclists may have noticed two wonderful new artistic focal points at Auburn and Clare along the Riesling Trail, which were officially opened earlier this month. Clare and Gilbert Valleys Council (CGVC) chief executive officer, Roy Blight, said the works were a “community driven initiative”. “Along with quite a concerted effort from the Art on the Riesling Trail Committee to develop some points of interest along the trail,” Mr Blight said.

The works were funded and organised through a collaborative effort between local families, businesses, Country Arts SA and CGVC. Artist, Ty Manning, produced several wonderful metal sheep sculptures at New Road, Clare, while Verity Jasmine Burley and Kath Inglis produced the wine-barrel inspired display, “Gathering,” at Greenwood Park Road, Auburn.

the district, with wine barrels forged out of locally quarried stone with the assistance of local stonemason, Peter Russell. Mr Blight said there was certainly scope to add other points of interest along the trail in the future, on the back of excellent results from recent pieces. “The feedback I’ve had has been positive and supportive of the work and people are genuinely interested in the thought processes behind them,” he said.

LEWISTON residents will be canvassed on their thoughts and concepts for future community focal points in the area. District Council of Mallala will soon start the Lewiston Community Study to determine need for community spaces and social infrastructure in Lewiston. The majority of properties in the Lewiston settlement are rural living properties. With its low-density rural living character, council believed it may require the creation of one or more identifiable community focal points to enhance the community’s sense of identity, belonging and sociability. “What needs to be identified is what could be built and where,” DCM chief executive officer, Charles Mansueto, said. A community focal point is a place that provides the necessary social interaction and support of a community and can include a public park, library, civic hub, cafe, community centre and retail centre. Community focal points provide a venue for information, education, interaction and activity and are places where individuals are mentally, spiritually and physically supported through a sense of community, mutual support and self worth developed through community involvement.

Rudd is our man, says Champion Les Pearson reports: FEDERAL Member for Wakefield, Nick Champion, believes the Labor Party has “unfinished business” to address following the reinstatement of Kevin Rudd as Prime Minister last week. Mr Rudd defeated former PM, Julia Gillard, in the Labor leadership ballot by 57 votes to 45. Mr Champion, pictured, again voted for Mr Rudd, as he had done at last year’s leadership challenge in February 2012. “I think there was always a sense of unfinished business between the Prime Minister (Mr Rudd) and the Australian

people,” he said. “They wanted him to be a better prime minister in his second incarnation and there was the indication that he would be.” Despite Labor’s drastic leadership ballot last week, Mr Champion believed Ms Gillard was going to lead the party into the next election. “I thought the challenge was increasingly unlikely as time went on,” he revealed. “If things were more upbeat about the future, perhaps the challenge wouldn’t have happened.” When asked if Ms Gillard’s leadership woes and

diminishing public popularity was overshadowing his own performance in Wakefield, Mr Champion touched on a teambased metaphor. “If the team is playing well, you tend to be playing well and our form had been down,” he said. “When I played back pocket for the (Kapunda) Bombers, we barely won a match for the year and it felt a lot like that. “When the opposition is kicking a lot of goals, it is hard to play good footy.” With Mr Rudd resuming in the leader’s role, Mr Champion

said his own work would continue as usual. “The actual mechanics of an election campaign doesn’t really change and in an election year, you work really hard, regardless.” Recent polls indicate renewed support for Mr Rudd as PM over the Coalition’s Tony Abbott, something Mr Champion feels has renewed battle lines. “The Liberal Party were in front and playing as the small target, trying not to engage,” he said. “My opponent, Tom Zorich, refused to debate me on the auto industry but this means the Liberal Party might have to start turning up for debates.”

NEWS v District n WAKEFIELD REGIONAL COUNCIL TO CONSIDER OPTIONS ON JULY 10:

Special meeting on rates

Spooky! Brinkworth’s Roger Green (left) is shown equipment by tech manager Pavle ‘Paul’ Tipic, with investigator, Lyn Mallett, rear.

MOTIONS to adopt an alternative council rates model and cap rate increases at 15 per cent will be considered at Wakefield Regional Council’s special meeting on July 10. As reported in last week’s Plains Producer, Central Ward councillor Owen Chapman lodged the motion to cap rates, while Western Ward councillor, Richard Pain, presented the alternative rates model motion. Cr Pain’s rate increase suggestion applies to council’s Long Term Financial Plan (LTFP). According to the proposed LTFP, ratepayers can expect rate increases of 10.5 per cent in 2013/14 and 2014/15. This will be followed with a 9.5 per cent rate increase in 2015/16, 6.5 per cent in 2016/17 and 2017/18, with rate increases reducing to 4.8 per cent from 2019/20 onwards.

Brinkworth hotel called in the Paranormal Guides – and yes, they ‘busted’ a ‘presence’

It was, as Snoopy would have said, a dark and stormy night – and the longest night of the year –when Adelaide’s ghost hunters, the Paranormal Guides, came to the Junction Hotel at Brinkworth. Invited by new owner Wendy Bradock, the team of four, equipped with $30,000-worth of electronic equipment, surveyed the entire 120 year-old pub on Saturday, June 22. And they found four “presences!” They descended a narrow, wooden staircase to the cellar and braved puddles, bucketing rain and howling wind to access musty outbuildings and the adjoining stone “Sample Rooms” building, built in 1932 and long unused, where travelling salesmen once displayed their wares. The investigation team’s system is to do a preliminary survey early in the evening and follow this up with others as the night goes on. As a team Paranormal Guides utilise a wide range of paranormal investigation equipment. Through years of experience they have collected a large assortment of different technologies in an attempt to measure and capture different types of paranormal evidence. Their cases of electronic equipment include an E Probe for detecting static electricity, thermal imaging, multi spectrum and conventional cameras, a Tesselar coil that creates enough energy

Report and pictures: Anne Green RIGHT: A thermal image of Paul’s hand print on a wall. BELOW: Lyn Mallett and Paul Tipic doing a preliminary survey of a storeroom at the pub.

Les Pearson reports: Cr Pain’s alternative rates model proposes increase of 6.5 per cent in 2013/14 and 2014/15, with increases of seven per cent in 2015/16 and 2016/17, before reducing to 4.8 per cent. He believed the current proposal was too much of a financial burden on low-income earners. “We have a high population of elderly people and young families,” Cr Pain said. “This is an unnecessary burden on them.” Both councillors deferred their motions to be decided on at the special council meeting next month.

Lyn, taking multi-spectrum photos, declare her discomfort in one storeroom we entered. The bright and cosy front bar was suddenly much more inviting! Publican Wendy Bradock said the investigators had detected four ‘presences’ during their vigil, one of which was a little boy. They also told her an Arnott’s tin box of photos is hidden somewhere on the premises. When they have fully analysed the data the group will returnfor a follow-up and will also be sending Wendy a video of the footage they recorded. Watch this space!

A proposed pedestrian crossing for the main street of Two Wells will go to public consultation next month, with up to five car parks flagged to go when it is constructed. District Council of Mallala chief executive officer, Charles Mansueto, said the proposed $15,000 crossing was a result of community feedback and was earmarked for between the local IGA store and the post office. Mr Mansueto said a recent traffic survey recorded an average of 2700 vehicles travelled each week-day along the main street of Two Wells, with the peak number of vehicles occurring between the hours of 9am and 10am, and again between 3pm and 4pm. The survey also noted nearly 80 people per hour, between the peak time of 3pm and 4pm, crossed the street at the proposed pedestrian crossing site.

Construction of the crossing will be slightly elevated – what is termed a “wombat” crossing – and speed restrictions will be introduced. And the crossing can’t come soon enough, following an accident near the post office on Friday, June 21, in which an elderly lady was hit by a reversing car and was taken to hospital. Two Wells Police officer, brevet sergeant Grant Devlin, said he had been in contact with council to support the crossing and said the accident last month was a pertinent reminder for drivers and pedestrians to stay alert, particularly at peak times. “It’s a timely reminder people should look behind before reversing from that area,” bv-sgt Devlin said.

NEWS v District n HE DONATED HIS PROPERTY AS A ‘THANK YOU’

Keith’s act of generosity •From Page 1 “This is an extremely generous gesture which opens up a raft of different opportunities for GV Senior Citizens Homes for upgrading and redevelopment of the Homes,” said Graham. So how did all of this come about, and why choose the Homes? In recent years, Keith has not had the best of health, mainly resulting from a fall eight years ago which injured his back. “After a long stint in hospital, the nurses, carers, Meals on Wheels, and my neighbours, have all been wonderful, and I’m very appreciative of their help.” “I’m very grateful to

this community, and it’s nice to give something back, especially to something like the Homes which are community owned,” said Keith. Keith was not a country boy, growing up in Adelaide, and after finishing school, worked as a telegraph messenger, riding a bike in the city to deliver telegrams. He was later promoted to the “operating” room, receiving and sorting telegrams. He joined the RAAF in 1944 as a trainee pilot, but as the war was over before he had finished his training, he was honourably discharged, and returned to the post office. After leaving the post

office, Keith had a range of other jobs over the years, which saw him travel throughout SA. Keith had left school after passing his intermediate year, but being an inquisitive and studious man, decided to further his knowledge, teaching himself in the fields of physics (his favourite), and chemistry. He found physics intriguing, with atoms, lights and light production continuing to inspire his love of astronomy. Through his love of stargazing, Keith moved to Riverton and built his home and an observatory. “The location, on the edge of rural and residential areas, was

However due to storm damage, his observatory is currently under repair. Keith has also dabbled with photography, and at one stage, had a room in his house partitioned off with a laboratory for science gear at one end, and a dark

room for developing his photos at the other. “But my favourite hobby is painting, which I’ve been doing since taking classes in the 1960s.” Keith is in the throes of completing a painting of his late wife, Beryl, and Jane McGrath, who both passed away from breast cancer. “If it works out, I hope

to give the painting to the McGrath Foundation one day,” he said. Keith said community is very important to him. It’s a welcome “social event “when he goes to the businesses in Riverton. “I prefer to pay my bills in person, and like talking with shop owners and locals,” Keith said. T h r o u g h K e i t h ’s

THIEVES hit both Balaklava Racing Club and Golf Club in overnight raids last week. Five flat screen TVs were stolen from the racing club’s betting ring after thieves gained entry by removing a roofing panel. The thieves avoided an alarm system. The theft was discovered by staff last Wednesday morning. In another “soft target” robbery, Balaklava golf club had tools, two pumps and batteries taken from a workshop shed after thieves removed sheets of iron. Volunteers discovered the break last Monday morning.

A Hamley Bridge man, 41, was admitted Royal Adelaide Hospital following a serious crash last Saturday. Just after 11.30pm, the man’s car hit a tree on the Stockport to Hamley Bridge Road, about 3km east of Hamley Bridge. He was the only occupant in the vehicle.

Hit for six! CLARE

A man caught drink driving in Clare last Wedneasday, June 26, allegedly recorded a blood alcohol reading almost six times over the legal limit. The 60-year-old driver from the Mid North was stopped by police about 11.30am after information received from the public. He was breath-tested and returned a blood alcohol reading of 0.283. He was reported for drink driving and driving while unlicensed and will be summonsed to appear in court at a later date. It will be alleged that this is the third time this man has been detected drink driving in the past five years.

AFTER a horror period on the State’s roads, Police have launched “Operation Distraction” to run during the month of July. Fourteen deaths in June brought the road toll to 57, compared to 48 at the same time last year. Driver inattention was a contributing factor in a number of recent crashes – as has the failure to wear a seatbelt. A frightening 30 per cent of drivers and passengers who died on South Australian roads in 2012 were not wearing a seatbelt, while around 40 per cent of drivers were distracted at the time of the crash. Police will be targeting all road users right across the State, but will have a

Distracted drivers will feel the heat from police particular focus on drivers using mobile telephones and all occupants not wearing seatbelts or other appropriate safety restraints. Driving while using a mobile phone carries a fine of $300 with a $60 victims of crime levy and the loss of three demerit points. A driver or passenger failing to wear a seat belt carries a fine of $324 with a $60 victims of crime levy and the loss of three demerit points.

Has anyone had the flu lately? We all go on about “man flu” or “man cold” but apparently, recent research shows women, not men, are more likely to stay home when they have cold. We all know most women only stay home if they are on the brink of being hospitalised, not just if they have the sniffles... (Although one woman I used to work with had almost every Monday off, but that was nothing to do with a cold!) Recently, it was Men’s Health Week, and one of the surveys conducted during this week, concerned colds and the flu. A majority of males surveyed said they were not badly affected by colds, and didn’t expect to be looked after. A small majority said they tell their partners when they don’t feel well, but hardly any tell their friends. Research shows men don’t stay home because actually they are too stubborn to seek health advice. So does this mean the (often) stereotyped Aussie male, has unnecessary pressure put on him by all of us, to stay silent and not share important health and wellbeing issues? Mmm, well we do bag men if they complain about their blocked nose, sore throat and chesty cough. However, I do think most men,

five

these days, are more health conscious and aware of health issues, especially hereditary ones. Currently Australian men have a life expectancy of four years less than females. (And don’t say married men have even less!!) So men, whether you are macho, a snag, the strong, silent type, shy and unassuming, stubborn, pigheaded, hot, metro or retro, young or old, or just old fashioned and “never had a sick day in my life” type, make sure you keep an eye on your health, and make an appointment for a check up. It will prove one of two things – you were right and there was nothing wrong with you, or something is found and it might just save your life. Forget your self-pride and possible embarrassment, just pick up the phone and make an appointment. As women who have had children would say, you have nothing that hasn’t been seen before!

NEWS v District

The great rates debate Roger McQuire BALAKLAVA resident, Roger McQuire, delivered a particularly precise presentation, requesting greater consideration from council when deciding on the rate rise. “This is not a diatribe against the council, nor necessarily against the rate increase,” he said. “Fundamentally, council has two objectives; one to meet its financial imperatives, the other, its social imperatives. “We have people where a 10 per cent rate increase is of no particular consequence. We have other groups in the community, who it would be of concern to, but could manage. “I have to say we have other people in the community, tonight, who are wrapping a blanket around themselves because they can’t afford to pay their electricity bill. “It puts an enormous responsibility to ensure whatever decisions we make, whether as private individuals or as members of council, that we should give regard to that social issue.” Mr McQuire also suggested council’s Annual Business Plan, or Budget, had nothing “aspirational” about it. “I couldn’t find anywhere in the plan, where there was specific mention of how otherwise we might be able to find cost efficiencies,” he said. In concluding, Mr McQuire took aim at the proposed road resealing program, set to be a large consumer of the increased rate revenue, posing questions such as how the respective roads were chosen, how they were costed and how the community was consulted during these deliberations.

Pelita Webb READERS of the Plains Producer may have seen the letter submitted by Mrs Webb in the June 19 edition, which was also distributed and signed by residents across the district. Mrs Webb was told to raise her concerns in written form by Western Ward councillor, Richard Pain. “After some consideration and initial reluctance to write to council, as we were worried and somewhat intimidated at the thought of doing so, we decided it was too important not to speak up,” she said. Mrs Webb told council about how neighbours wanted to sign the letter and make copies of it as well. She claimed a lot of people were unaware of the proposed rate rise.

“

High rates will not attract new businesses or new residents ... We must learn to live within our means both individually and corporately.

“When they were made aware, they were both mortified by the prospects and motivated to action,” Mrs Webb said. She touched on the potential impact on pensioners and low-income earners in the district, putting further impost on churches and welfare groups, which have a growing number of people needing help. “The rising rates will only exacerbate their needs and increase the number of those requiring help,” Mrs Webb said. Other impacts included rent increases received from landlords passing on the rate rise. Mrs Webb passed on another common comment she received from other ratepayers in the district regarding the future shift of the Balaklava Waste Transfer Station and building of the new council depot. She said there was concern of “questionable necessity” over the proposal. “Perhaps you do need it but people are saying $2.2 million is excessive for what you would get.” Legal expenses and works budget blowouts were other items raised by ratepayers. “High rates will not attract new businesses or new residents,” Mrs Webb said. “We must learn to live within our means both individually and corporately.”

SEVERAL residents spoke in an open forum granted at last week’s Wakefield Regional Council meeting to provide feedback on council’s annual Budget and Long Term Financial Plan, opposing the hefty proposed rate rise. In the interest of public information, The Plains Producer this week publishes extracts from their presentations.

go broke.” Mr Kipling said council had been inefficiently run for too long and its general solution to this was to raise rates. “It is my belief in the non-too-distant future, we will see an end to councils and the government will appoint a regional administrator for each council area,” he said. “We are currently seeing a lot of problems in local government, which in my opinion, are mainly caused by well-meaning but totally inept administrators and members of council. “The time has come for council to take a long, hard look at its finances and start making some tough decisions regarding their financial situation, instead of the usual easy way out by increasing the rates.” Mr Kipling called for an independent audit of council’s books and activities. “And I stress ‘independent’,” he said.

Yvonne Tinsley

“

I believe in the next 10 years I will not be able to stay in my home. If you put my rates up, I have no money left.

NORM Goller makes his point at the podium at the council meeting. In the picture are Northern Ward councillors Darryl Ottens (left) and Greg Stevens.

Residents have their say on council’s plan Norm Goller PORT Wakefield’s Norm Goller has had enough of forking out more on rates each year. “I feel very uncomfortable about paying ever-increasing rates,” he said. Mr Goller claimed his rates had risen from $400 to $1200 per year in his time living in the council district. He also posed the question of when council last balanced is Budget. “There has to be a real problem here for this to be addressed,” Mr Goller said. Given council’s financial standing, he felt council’s management was not meeting its targets, which would be acted upon in a corporate environment.

“

I don’t believe anyone has had a detailed look at the number of roads we’re maintaining.

“Each department should get an allocation of funds and be made accountable for that allocation,” he said. The impost of road maintenance was another item of annoyance for Mr Goller, who believed council had too many roads for its own good. “I don’t believe anyone has had a detailed look at the number of roads we’re maintaining,” he said. “There’s five roads to Avon, why do they need five roads going into town? “How about they have one in, one out, and the other three closed down?” In summing up, he suggested council plan for becoming more cost efficient and consider life without a number of rural roads on its books. “We can’t go on increasing costs because of what I believe is incorrect management of the funds available to council,” Mr Goller said.

Robert Van der Sman A HIGH level of apathy towards council from some parts of the community was mentioned by Robert Van der Sman, who claimed a lot of people he spoke to regarding the proposed rate increases did not know who council’s mayor was, nor their ward councillors. Mr Van der Sman said council tends to be behind on its works roster as machinery is only operating on a nine-day fortnight. He felt the extra day could be sub-contracted out to a private entity to ensure works are on target and cost saving could be achieved through tendering for these projects. Living on the corner of North and Walsh streets in Port Wakefield, Mr Van der Sman said he had witnessed the delays and issues during the sealing of North Street in recent years. “I am not confident my rate payments are responsibly used,” he concluded.

John Kipling

“

The time has come for council to take a long, hard look at its finances and start making some tough decisions regarding their financial situation, instead of the usual easy way out by increasing the rates.

RETIRED businessman and former Western Ward councillor, John Kipling, was highly critical of council’s financial management. “In my opinion, running a council is no different to running a business,” he said. “If you spend more than you earn, you will

ARGUABLY the most emotive submission for the evening came from Snowtown pensioner and carer, Yvonne Tinsley. Mrs Tinsley spoke of her great love of her home in the small country town. “I believe in the next 10 years, I will not be able to stay in my home,” she said. “If you put my rates up, I have no money left. “I believe more churches and more St Vinnie’s and Salvos that I belong to, are going to be looking after the people that you, as people, have not thought about.” Mrs Tinsley sympathised with both council staff and elected members. “I’m sure you work very hard and are proud of what you do,” she said. “But please think first. I’m quite willing to pay money and extra money, but where am I going to find it? “I may not have said all the financial things that others have spoken about tonight but perhaps you need to think there are more people in this world like me, that look OK but can’t do what you can, or have the opportunity to do. I think you’re going to make a mistake to do this.”

Peter Hoskin IN stark contrast to Yvonne Tinsley’s gentle approach, Peter Hoskin took little time and few prisoners in his verbal barrage. Mr Hoskin said he had recently received a rise from superannuation fund, Commsuper, of 0.6 of one per cent. He touched on other basic commodity price increases, such as gas and petrol. “How am I going to pay if you’ve got a 10 per cent rise in council rates, as well as everything else?” he said. Mr Hoskin paused briefly, waiting for a response, which realistically was never going to come. “Silence, see, you can’t answer me,” he said. “I think it’s a bloody disgrace.”

Mark Pannell A RELATIVELY fresh face emerged to round out proceedings, Mark Pannell providing a slightly different perspective on the proposed rate rises. Mr Pannell said he moved to the area about four years ago and was shocked by the price of his council rates, which have continued to climb since. “I understand you’ve got a lower population here and it’s a big area, but at some point, it has to stop,” he said. “At the end of the day, you’ve got to do something about it.” Mr Pannell suggested the increased rates may prevent further business and residential growth. “I feel you’re going to lose people who live here in the district,” he said. “In five years’ time, when it has gone up, say 20 per cent, I’m going to be considering what I’m doing in this district. “Why don’t I move to Clare or Mallala, where it is a bit cheaper?” Plains Producer, Wednesday, July 3 2013

In a new award, Charlie will get to vote for the new “hanger’s prize” winners of 2013 Balco Balaklava Art Prize and associated awards will be announced at the official opening of the exhibition at the Balaklava Courthouse Gallery this Sunday, July 7 at 2pm. Guest judge, Bev Bills, who is a fibre artist and Fellow of the Royal SA Society of Arts, will announce winners at the official opening.

More than 120 entries across 13 award categories have been received, with works from a range of mediums and genres, including sculpture, pastel, photography and prints, providing guests with a vibrant and diverse exhibition. There are also sections for novices, primary and secondary school students, and a “People’s Choice” award, which is

awarded to the entry receiving the most votes from the public during the exhibition. This year sees a new, fun award, “The Hangers’ Prize,” which gives those people who hang the works, the chance to recognise their favourite entry. The exhibition runs from Thursday, July 4, until Sunday August 25, and everyone is invited to drop in – and vote!

THE Everard Central Waste Transfer Station will come under sale considerations with Western Ward councillor, Richard Pain, pushing for Wakefield Regional Council to sell off surplus assets. Cr Pain foreshadowed his intentions to raise the potential sale of the Everard Central land, owned by council, at the next council meeting. Council purchased about 375 hectares on the southern and western boundaries of the existing facility in January, for a cost of $485,000 back in 2006. The plan at the time was to expand the landfill site to receive waste from neighbouring councils, and possibly even develop compost and fertiliser from chicken manure. Cr Pain said council continues to fork out for loan repayments on the land, which remains widely unused to date, and receives little in return from leasing the property to graziers. WRC chief executive officer, Cate Atkinson, said a report on the site was being compiled by a consultant, which

Budget to reveal if crane gets a lift WAKEFIELD Regional Council will consider refurbishing and relocating an historic maritime crane at Port Wakefield during its Budget deliberations next month. The total project was estimated to cost about $20,000, which would include refurbishing works, shifting the item, soil sampling of the proposed new site and engineering a footing base. The crane was originally planned for rehabilitation about 10 years ago. In the 2002/03 financial year, what was then Transport SA (now the Department of Planning, Transport, Energy and Infrastructure), approached council regarding works at the wharf in Port Wakefield. Included in those works was the restoration and relocation of the historic crane back to the wharf precinct. WRC quoted the works requested and billed

Transport SA, but never carried out the crane restoration. The crane was left in council’s works depot in Port Wakefield for several years. WRC moved to investigate the price of the restoration earlier this year. “As far as I know, there are only two of these left in the state, which I think is very significant for this council area,” Northern Ward councillor, Greg Stevens, said.

Margaret Gleeson dies Former Balaklava resident, Margaret Gleeson, OAM, passed away at Oaklands Park on Friday, June 28, aged 94. Margaret had previously lived in Balaklava for 73 years and was heavily involved in the community in that time, including chairperson of Balaklava Council. Most locals who attended Balaklava Primary School will remember Margaret as the school librarian, a job she held for many years. Her dedication to her community resulted in her receiving an Order of Australia medal for services to Local Government and the community, in particular to District Council of Balaklava, Australian Local Government Women’s Association, Legacy, National Trust and CWA. Margaret was presented with other awards, including Life Membership of CWA, Senior Citizen of the Year in SA, and was heavily involved in National Trust and the Museum. Margaret’s funeral is being held at Centennial Park tomorrow (July 4). Plains Producer, Wednesday July 3, 2013

Western Ward councillor, Darryl Pain, questioned the nature of fencing proposed around the crane. “I think it could lose its appeal if it is fenced and made to look a bit like a prison,” he said. WRC infrastructure services manager, David Hassett, said the fencing was a necessary step. “There has been a big push from the mutual liability scheme to fence and/or mitigate the risk in some areas,” he said. “The type of fence is only a panel-type fence, just to give it a border…just to distinguish it in its own little compound.” A question was raised by Southern Ward councillor, Barry Smith, about the potential of lighting the relic. “There’s no capacity in that quote to do any lighting,” Mr Hassett responded.

Les Pearson reports: would be presented in coming months. WRC corporate services manager, Steve Jonas, added elected members would receive a register of council’s assets to consider potentially disposing of during budget deliberations this month.

Review for CEO THE first year of work from Wakefield Regional Council chief executive officer, Cate Atkinson, will be under the microscope in coming months as part of the annual CEO performance review. AME Recruitment director, Alison Ashby, attended last week’s monthly meeting to fill council in on the performance review process, which will include receiving feedback from WRC elected members and staff. Mrs Ashby said two external people outside of council would also be part of the performance review process. Mrs Atkinson is required to deliver a presentation outlining all her achievements to the reviewers on July 24. An anonymous questionnaire will then be circulated to those taking part in the review process to provide feedback, which must be completed by August 2. The results of those questionnaires will then be collated and presented to council in time for the August council meeting.

Move to include CFS in cancer Bill

MOVIE maker Sandra Cook chats with Dorathea Juett, of Blyth.

Enjoying the ‘Ride’ Report and picture: Janet Zweck Eighty patrons enjoyed the award-winning film “The Ride,” sponsored by Wakefield Regional Council at Blyth cinema over two sessions last Friday. “The Ride” won the “Best Feature Film” at the 2013 South Australia Screen Awards. Director/Producer, Sandra Cook, was in attendance and after each session held a Q&A for patrons to quiz her on producing of the film which took the audience along a ride with three paraplegics and a quadriplegic men riding quad bikes, 5000km across the Australian outback. The men received their injuries in their younger days and journeyed together with an understanding support crew and returned to their crash sites which took them from Perth to Birdsville, encountering mud, deserts, floods and exhaustion. The men’s endurance was incredible and was fuelled by bold humour and disarming honesty. Along the way, Sandra Cook was accompanied with only a camera man and little money to make this film – making it an uphill struggle constantly from the start to finish. All in attendance applauded Sandra’s talent in producing such a thought-provoking and inspirational documentary and bringing it to regional centres like Blyth.

The sound of fear Dogs that are afraid of loud noises can be problematic for owners, but according to veterinarian and behavioural expert, Jonathan Bowen, there are solutions. He says that there is a better way to judge whether a dog is phobic or not. “Dogs with a phobic fear of noise will show greater anticipation of noisy events and display behaviours of over-reaction and delayed recovery after an event has passed”. Dr Bowen’s tips for managing fear of loud noises include: avoid noise exposure when possible; don’t restrict access to escape routes and increase the dog’s opportunities for it to hide and control its own noise exposure; don’t try and comfort a fearful dog or get angry as this will just make things worse and increase the likelihood of future problems; don’t expect the dog to confront its fears by, for example, cutting off opportunities to hide or dragging them to places they are reluctant to go.

A CANCER protection Bill for MFS fire-fighters recently moved by the State government has received widespread criticism after it omitted any recognition of CFS volunteers. Both the State Liberal Party and Greens MLC, Tammy Franks, aired their aversion regarding the CFS omission in the Bill. “I have made the case for this legislation to cover both paid and volunteer fire-fighters very clearly,” Ms Franks said. “There is a significant body of science linking (certain) sorts of structural fires with a significantly heightened risk of cancer and we know that our MFS and CFS fire-fighters

The proposal being put forward by the government is to change the onus of proof for MFS workers who are seeking workers compensation for certain cancers. “This means that WorkCover would still have the opportunity to appeal against the compensation for a fire-fighter who contracts one of the nominated cancers if they believe that the evidence was that their fire fighting didn’t contribute to their cancer. “We do not accept CFS volunteers are immune to the hazards identified with fire fighting simply because they are volunteers.” Mr Williams said the Liberal party would move amendments to the legislation.

TAYORS managing director, Mitchell Taylor, says winning the awards was “a landmark” result for the winery.

Taylors ‘on top of the world’ Family-owned Taylors Wines has swooped across the USA, taking out the title of Australia’s best winery in San Francisco and New York, dominating the largest and most influential wine competitions from the East to West coasts. An impressive swag of awards has seen Taylors named Best of Nation at the San Francisco International Wine Competition for a record breaking fifth time, and debuting at the New York International Wine Competition by taking out Australian Winery of the Year. Taylors made the Clare Valley proud in San Francisco, coming out on top of 94 other Australian wineries, including some of Australia’s best-known brands, to win Best of Nation. Their quality portfolio was recognised as Taylors became the most heavily awarded Australian winery in the competition. Taylors Wines third generation managing director, Mitchell Taylor, said winning these notoriously tough awards was a landmark result for his winery, based near Auburn. “These awards are not only testament to our winemaking team, but also recognise our •SA Tourism Commission staff convened a meeting in June for the Clare Valley Tourism Region to review the “Destination Action Plan” which has been developed to support regional tourism development.

It is an honour for Taylors Wines to represent the Australian wine industry in such a positive light at these competitions,” Mitchell said. “We are thrilled with our debut at the New York International Wine Competition, where less than 30 per cent of entries receive medals, and then to hear we were awarded Best of Nation at the San Francisco show for the fifth time – what a week!” To win Best of Nation at the San Francisco show, wineries must collect multiple awards with their individual wines. Taylors were up against more than 4,500 wines from around the world. Out of the 22 wines Taylors entered, 19 received medals, including one rare double gold medal for the 2010 Taylors Estate cabernet sauvignon and four gold medals. It is a record-breaking fifth time the winery has won the prestigious Best of Nation, having won in 2007, 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2013.

The 2012 Jaraman Shiraz was named ‘Shiraz of the Year’ and awarded a gold medal, with only 13 wines in the competition receiving gold medals. Now in its third year, the New York International Wine competition is judged by a panel of trade-only experts, ranging from top retail buyers to sommeliers and importers. The competition organisers have noted that the calibre of entries was consistently high, with some of the best wineries in the world putting their top wines forward for judging. The Taylors 2010 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon sells for $18.95 and the 2012 Jaraman Shiraz for $30. Taylors is marketed as Wakefield in the US due to trademark restrictions. The award-winning wines were entered under their US brand name Wakefield rather than Taylors for the San Francisco International Wine Competition. May and recorded visitor numbers increased by about 50 compared to last year. Gourmet Weekend Saturday saw a record 312 people pass through the centre. • Road construction works will be undertaken on Horrocks Highway between Craighill Road and McRae Wood Road.

Researchers at the University of Adelaide have been awarded more than $5.4 million in Federal funding for new projects that will benefit industry and the community in fields such as agriculture, animal welfare, health, food, environment, computer science and history. The University of Adelaide won the competitive funding for 14 new studies that involve collaboration with industry and government. They were announced last week under the Australian Research Council’s (ARC) Linkage Projects scheme. Winning projects represent 58 per cent of the funding for the State. Those linked to agriculture include: n $675,000 awarded to a team led by professor Geoff Fincher (ARC Centre of Excellence in Plant Cell Walls) to study the physiology and genetics of barley grain germination in the malting and brewing industries; n $588,029 to study diversity and evolution of loci associated with adaptation to aridity/heat and salinity in ancient cereal crops; n $529,853 awarded to a team led by Dr Darren Trott (School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences) to determine if ‘superbugs’ – multidrug-resistant pathogens that can transfer between species – exist in Australian animals; n $524,718 in partnership with Dupont Pioneer and Australian Grain Technologies to investigate the response of cereals to nitrogen supply and demand; and

n $287,607 awarded to a team led by associate professor Rachel Ankeny (School of History and Politics) to investigate social and economic issues in animal welfare in Australia’s livestock industries. Three of the industry-linked grants were won by researchers in the University’s Australian Centre for Visual Technologies (School of Computer Science), two were won in the Australian Centre for Ancient DNA (collectively the biggest amount awarded to one researcher, with $1.1 million going to Professor Alan Cooper), two by researchers at the Waite Research Institute, and two in Humanities and Social Sciences. In addition to the $5.4 million, the winning projects also stand to collectively receive a further $10 million in cash and in-kind contributions from collaborative partners. The University’s Deputy ViceChancellor (Research), Professor Mike Brooks, said the Linkage Projects funding announcement is almost double that of three years ago. “This is a tremendous result for the University of Adelaide and a testament to the hard work and dedication of our research staff,” said Professor Brooks. “Particularly pleasing is the range of projects that have won grants with representation across all of our core research strengths.” Other researchers in non-agriclultural sectors also received funding.

‘Rocks’ project links soil and wine “Clare Valley Rocks” is an initiative aiming to bring together the wines of the Clare Valley with its unique geological heritage. It explores the relationships between the rocks, soil, vines and wine (often called terroir of the wine) and the heritage of the valley, including the heritage listed town of Mintaro. The project is a joint initiative between the Clare Valley Winemakers Inc and Clare Region Winegrape Growers Association. The group claims the project is significant for two main reasons. It is the first time there has been a

concerted effort to provide a consumerfriendly explanation of the ancient geology of the valley, and how it relates to the landscape and geography of the region today. It will also provide the visiting wine consumer with simple interpretive information to assist them with their education, understanding and appreciation of the wines of the valley. Basically, the project will help the public understand the “heart” of Clare valley wines through interpretation of the rocks and soil that underpin the production of the region’s world class wines.

From the diary of a farmer’s wife, 1871

About 50 years ago, there was a farming type magazine published called “Australian Country.” In its August 1965 issue, the “Country Woman” section published excerpts from the diary of a farmer’s wife: March 1, 1871: How grateful these cooler days are. There is no longer any dust although some evenings the sky is quite overcast with smoke from scrub fires. This evening I went down with Robert and old Billy to the river. It is the fourth time this week we have had to fill the tanks. I am afraid my garden is taking more water than it should but it is delightful to have our own greens. Fruit is quite detestable by the time it comes here on the dray from town and vegetables have been out of the question.

NEWS v Gilbert Valley

Real family pride in Lions A husband-towife handover Louise Michael reports: An unusual event happened at the Gilbert Valley Lions Club annual Handover on June 23. Outgoing president John Lloyd, “handed over” to incoming president, his wife, Marian! It is the first time in the club’s history that this has happened. A large crowd of members and visitors from Balaklava, Kapunda, Edwardstown, and local Lions club and family members, attended a lunch at Riverton to witness this historic occasion. John gave his President’s Report, detailing the year’s activities, and thanked members for their support in ensuring the club had a successful year. GV Lions Club had a busy year, making donuts, conducting raffles, holding sausage sizzles, and various other events to raise funds to distribute to the needy causes in the local area, and to projects of Lions Club International. “The club donated $13,000 to local, national and international causes, and we thank the community at large, and businesses, for supporting the club in its humanitarian efforts,” John said. Various schools in the Gilbert Valley also received assistance, as did GV Senior Citizens Homes, Riverton District Hospital, St John Ambulance, Riverton Scouts, and SA Country Carers - Clare. Local resident, Sue Humphries, was presented with a cheque for $500 to assist her with Indigenous Community Welfare. “GV Lions was also placed in charge of administering donated funds for 2010 Stockport flood victims,” said John. “As part of that, we organised a YMCA camp at Victor Harbor for children of Stockport flood victims.” The Handover Ceremony was conducted by Past District Governor, Lion John Tayler, who asked new president, Marian Lloyd, to call forward her board members for induction. Along with Marian, members inducted were: Immediate Past President and Membership, John Lloyd, Vice President Geoff Price, Secretary Helen Karger, Treasurer Frank Gorey, Lion Tamer Brenda Sugars, Tail Twisters Jim Goodfel- labour by joining Lions, which low and John Tayler, Youth of the is the World’s largest service Year co-ordinator Kelvin Schwartz, organisation. and Club Care Anne Gilfillan. “Coming from Adelaide to the Marian spoke of her plans country, and not playing sport, I for the coming year, and hoped found getting involved in a service membership would increase, with club a great way to meet people,” people volunteering their time and said Marian.

“People are often apprehensive about joining service clubs, but I think people have new ideas about the tasks they are given, and blossom as they gain confidence – and they also get better at public speaking!” John and Marian both joined

Lions in 2010, after being involved in Gawler Apex Club for 20 and 10 years respectively. They strongly support involvement in service clubs and encourage people to consider joining. “We only have two meetings per month, the first is a Lions

business meeting, the second is a social dinner meeting, often with a guest speaker,” Marian said. If you’d like to join GV Lions Club, find out more about the work Lions does, or have a suggestion for a project, phone John on 0417 879 982.

Popular radio and television personality, and well-respected gardening guru, Michael Keelan spoke to a full house in Two Wells on June 26. Locals, residents from the district, and even some who had travelled from afar, gathered at Two Wells Bowling Club to hear Michael speak as part of the Two Wells Public Library’s successful author events.

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. 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.

Reeves Plains residents Teresa Blackwood and Marlene Hawkins enjoyed Michael’s presentation.

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.

Anne Godfrey chatted with Michael after his entertaining talk.

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:

Automated irrigation a stroke of genius

T isn’t easy being green, but lately, the Balaklava Golf Course has quickly emerged as one of the better regional greens courses north of Adelaide. Following many hours of sweaty labour over a hot, dry summer, the course is nearly on a fully automated watering system, with most fairways now lush with even grass covering and greens smooth, firm and unblemished. BGC president, Ian Michael (pictured right), said the course is in best ever condition, since the club began pushing for automated watering. “It’s happened over the last five years, while Bill Lokan was president, he sort of kicked it off,” Ian said. “We really set upon a goal to have the whole course under automatic watering, which we are looking to achieve in the next two years. “We’ve still got about five fairways to complete. “It saves time for the volunteers. “With the five fairways that aren’t completely automatic, it’s a lot of work with old travelling sprinklers, hoses, so it’s just a time saving philosophy for the people looking after it.” Most fairways on the course are now on either full or part automated watering systems. Ian said holes one and nine are the next in line, along with the par three third, in need of an irrigation

upgrade. This work will be reliant on accessing grant funding, which the club has begun applying for in recent years. “We haven’t in the past but our treasurer, Tania Matz, is pretty highly skilled in that area, so we’re lucky to have her doing a lot of that work in the last 18 months or so,” Ian said. “Prior to that, we didn’t have anyone with those skills.” Armed with a keen group of volunteers, the club has been able to maintain the course exceptionally well over the summer and into the winter season. “We’ve come through the last

Great course to draw a 'hole' lot of new members

ITH the course’s current pristine condition, Balaklava Golf Club president, Ian Michael, is hoping to boost membership. “That’s probably the key because if you’ve got a good greens course to play on and people come out and enjoy the course, it could bring them one step closer towards playing more regularly or joining up as a member,” Ian said. “We’re not a really big town population-wise but we reckon we’ve got a pretty good track compared to other courses in the Lower

North.” The seasons also make a bit of a difference in playing numbers. “Our summer golf had more people playing as we get some from other nearby clubs when their clubs are closed, so they come over and support us,” Ian said. “In the winter, we’re the poor cousin to football and netball, but summer golf is certainly very active.” Playing numbers have started to grow, with more than 80 ladies competing in the Ladies Open in May. The club’s main men's

six months of really dry weather,” Ian said. “It’s been our volunteers that have been keeping the water on the course and not having any issues with our watering system over summer. This small team includes Geoff and Yvonne Leo, Trevor Reid, Austin Henstridge and Mike Hahesy, amongst a few others who chip in from time to time. “A few of the older members do a fair bit of work around the place,” Ian said. Bill Lokan and Scott Michael also form part of the course committee. They generally work under the guidance of Steve Guy, a qualified greenkeeper, who the club employs on a casual basis to keep an eye on things. Keeping up appearances is often

a thankless task, requiring hours of commitment every week. “We’ve had a good run with our irrigation and it’s testament to our volunteers, under Steve’s guidance, to have done all the work to make it look terrific,” Ian said. The greens on the course are nearing an outstanding consistency and pace. “We don’t cut our greens down really hard in the summer time because if we have a problem with our water, you can lose them within a day and a half,” Ian explained. “So if we keep them grassy during summer, then at least you’ve got grass to work with. “At the moment, we’re working on cutting them down to make them a bit quicker. “If they’re cut back a little more than what they are now, they’ll be in pretty good nick.”

event, the Balaklava Open, is nearing on Sunday, August 11. Ian hopes it will attract a strong field of competitors. “Hopefully that will be a big day and all we really have to do now is get it a bit more tidied up,” he said. “The soursobs are getting a bit out of control, so we’ve got a bit of a spray program up to get on top

of that.” Also the club hopes to secure a major ladies event next year, which would attract a large crowd from all over the state to the district. “It’s a huge event with 120 women playing here for four days, so accommodation would be booked out locally and throughout the Clare Valley, and a big drawcard for our course,”

Ian said. For footy fans of yesteryear, past players of the Sturt Football Club will be playing the course on Friday, August 16 in a special competition. “We’re hoping to get some ex League players along, like Paul Bagshaw, Rick Davies, Peter Friedrichs, so that’s going to be a great day,” Ian said.

"An oasis on the Plains"

Balaklava Golf Club Club finding its financial feet 1923

Balaklava Golf Club formed.

The par four 4th fairway (above) and the par four 5th (below) had automatic irrigation installed over summer, for stunning results.

N recent years, the Balaklava Golf Club found itself in dire straights, struggling to survive financially. Club president, Ian Michael, said things are slowly turning around of late. “I’ve been on the committee for the past seven or eight years and it is the best we’ve been running, financially, for a long time,” he said. “Our debt structure is coming down and we’re still able to do some active things on the course, such as irrigation and machinery upgrades.” Fundraising has greatly boosted the club’s financial standing. “Our social committee has been a great coup for us,” Ian said. “There’s a great group of people there, led by Janice Smith. “We’ll probably only have two major functions a year, which raise about $20,000 a year, so that’s pretty good for a little club.” Part of the success of the club is the voluntary contribution from workers, who put hours and hours of work in each week to keep the course up the scratch. “Probably our only downfall is that we don’t really have a lot of active members that are willing to do the work,” Ian said. “We are very lucky, not only

Parkin has claimed the A grade Club Championship on seven consecutive occasions in a streak continuing since 2004. Ian said there are few others at the club who challenge him for the title. “Not really, it’s probably who will be the best runner up,” he laughed. “He’s a one or two handicapper, so in our A grade field, he leads the way and there’s probably a handful of blokes off

between seven, eight to 13 or 14. “He’s done a lot of coaching with the ladies and probably enjoys that more than coaching the blokes. “He’s very forthcoming with his tips and ability to teach people to play the game.”

Balak, ’Wells game ends in draw Courtside

A1 APNA review with Merridy Manuel

Hamley’s reign only lasted one week, having the bye this week gone. Hummocks is back in the lead after defeating Long Plains. It’s coming down to the pointy end of the season and interestingly, teams are performing differently with new combinations. Balaklava drew with Two Wells Playing on home ground and having won previously, Balaklava was expected to take an easy win over Two Wells. But, Two Wells led from the start, with Balaklava making position changes at three-quarter time to finally level scores in the last quarter. Balaklava’s coach, Carolyn Michael, admitted Two Wells were an improved side. “It was a good game for both teams. “We missed a few scoring opportunities in the first quarter and both Two Wells goalies shot well for first half.” Carolyn noted the defensive work of Balaklava C, Gaynor Tink, GKAlexandra Wilson, GD Sophie Kupke and WD Lauren Michael, enabling them to close the gap. “Sally Arbon GA stepped up a level in the last quarter working well with Stacey Mugge, GS.

KERRY Beagley, Two Wells, gets in front of Balaklava’s Cassie Powell during the A2 game at Balaklava on Saturday. “Ashleigh Heinrich’s voice and drive in attack was valuable to the team.” Two Wells were playing without their usual coach, Stacey Gameau. Stacey had heard that her girls played well and Balaklava had to make lots of changes to win the game. “I’m very proud my girls played that well and have shown they can compete against the top four sides coming into the business end of the season.” Goal keepers for both teams won best player, Alexandra Wilson for Balaklava and Karen Penhall for Two Wells.

GA Tessa Jarmyn shot 18 goals in the opening period matching Long Plains’ Jane McBride’s tally, also scored on the Virginian inside court. This helped to earn Tessa best player for Mallala. Both teams were keen to win with Virginia narrowly beating Mallala in round five, and Virginia wanting to break their losing streak of five

games in a row. Mallala had a strong first quarter taking the lead by nine. “After every break Virginia tried to break down our lead but credit to my girls to keep the fight,” said coach, Courtney Kerr. “Mid court fed really well into the goalies, with Tracy Kennett taking the lead in C”.

Jarmyn played in goals together with Stacey Hardie unwell. Virginia made numerous changes throughout the game – only WA Emma Flanagan was not moved – to deal with injuries. The final combination worked well, with defender Christine Glenn moving into GS and goalie, and coach, Sherilee Matheson moving into GK, enabling Virginia to creep back to within six goals. Sherilee was upbeat about the match. “I thought we played some positive competitive netball. “We let them get away, but managed to bring it back in the last quarter, we unfortunately fell short.” Virginia’s best player was Kristine Weetra who played GA, WD and C. Quarter scores (MalVir): first 20-12, second 38-28, third 51-41, final 63-57. Hummocks 46 def Long Plains 37 Long Plains seem to be finding their form in this game and were ahead by one at half time. A huge third quarter from Hummocks, who shot 15 to Longies’ seven, enabled them to take the lead. Hummocks finished off the game in the last quarter to be ahead by nine at the whistle. A strange line up for Hummocks, with Bonnie Nicholls playing GS, (thankfully with no blood!). Coach Samantha Nicholls, who usually plays goals, was resting her injured knee. Sam admitted she wasn’t satisfied with Saturday’s efforts but gave credit to Long Plains’ tenacity. “I am definitely more comfortable with playing than spectating,” exclaimed Sam. “With Lisa Powell available this week I swung Bonnie into GS and she did a phenomenal job for knowing a day in advance she was playing there. “Lisa Powell settled into her role by the third quarter.” Best player for Hummocks was Sarah Young, WD. Long Plains lost by 20 last time they played Hummocks and coach, Michelle Doherty, was delighted to get so much closer. “We didn’t string the four quarters together but still a massive improvement from last time. “We were missing a couple of mid courters due to Uni exams so it left the squad a little unsettled.” GAJane McBride won best for Long Plains and Michelle also acknowledged the efforts of GD Mary-Jane McArdle.

Jasmine Haggerty (GD) continued to work hard in defence, sending balls down to her shooters who were shooting more accurate late in the game, giving Long Plains some worrying moments. Long Plains ran out the game, breathing a sigh of relief when the timer jumped up to signal the end of the game. Final score: Hum 31 - LP 33. 15&U: Hummocks lead all game, taking an easy win.

Hummocks opened the game with two quick goals, followed quickly by a two-goal response from Long Plains. Hummocks then dominated the attack as well as playing very well in defence. Standouts: Shari Young (WD) Hum. Hum 12 - LP 4. Hummocks again dominated the play in the first half of the game, with the ball doing predominantly to their attacking end. The onslaught continued with some lovely passages of play from the Hummocks girls. Standouts: Mikaela LaneWatson GA (Hum). Hum 26 - LP 5. Long Plains improved their defence in the third quarter, but couldn’t get the goals. Hummocks’ defence continued to work well, not allowing any Long Plains goals to get through until the final moments. Standouts: Tayla Williams (GD) Hum. Hum 34 - LP 6. Long Plains made some improvements and got some excellent goals. Mikaela Lane-Watson at GA was replaced by Tayla Williams, following a time out for injury. Hummocks continued to dominate this quarter, despite the change mid-quarter. Standouts: Mikaela Lane-Watson GA, Tayla Williams GA (Hum). Final score: Hum 45 - LP 10. Hummocks were strong from the beginning and continued to play well for the whole game. Long Plains were gallant in defeat but played well considering one of their stronger players was absent. 13&U(A): Hummocks cemented themselves into fourth position after a solid win over Long Plains. This was a fast paced game, with Hummocks GS, Jessica Davey and GA, Haylee Studham, scoring six goals each. Standouts: Makayla Guerin GD (Hum), Melody Berrett GA (LP). Hum 12 - LP 2. Hummocks continued to pick up any loose balls and punished Longies on the scoreboard. Hummocks defence played well, with Zae Veitch doing some excellent footwork at GK and Makayla Guerin at GD who kept Long Plains at bay. Long Plains were still a chance, with Melody Berrett shooting very accurate. Standouts: Jessica Davey GS (Hum), Tegan Bigg (GK). Hum 20 - LP 5. Long Plains made some changes and put Melody Bennett in defence after playing the first half in goals. This, they hoped, would stop some of the flow in Hummocks’ attack. Hayley Studham was also moved to centre for Hummocks, and continued to drive the ball and the team forward. Standouts: Mitika Hillard-Falkner C (LP), Haylee Studham C (Hum). Hum 29 - LP 7. Hummocks continued to dominate general play and their accurate scoring contributed towards the scoreboard in the end. Makayla Guerin was stellar in defence for Hummocks and had a great game. Standouts: Sophia Sach (GS) Hum, Jodie Grantham GA (LP). Hum 37 - LP 8. The Hummocks girls were able to consolidate fourth position ahead of fifth placed Long Plains, with a solid win. All played well. 13&U(B): Long Plains held the lead up until the third quarter, where Hummocks overtook

Longies to end the game with a four-goal victory. Long Plains shot the first few goals early. Hummocks had possession of the ball for plenty of the quarter, but their passing let them down. Olivia Carslake (C) played well for Hummocks, but Longies ended the quarter in front. Hum 1 - LP 3. Longies started the quarter with a goal again, with good shooting from their GS. Long Plains’ defence worked excellent together, intercepting a lot of balls and applying pressure. Hummocks worked really hard but found the height of some of the Longies girls a problem. Hummocks redeemed themselves towards the end of the quarter. Hum 4 - LP 5. Good shooting from Hummocks put them in the lead early in the quarter. Longies evened the score soon after with some steady goals. Great shooting from the Hummocks girls to take the lead and end the quarter on a high. Hum 10 - LP 7. An even start with both teams playing well. Good shooting from Olivia Carslake allowed Hummocks to maintain their lead. Long Plains worked hard but Hummocks were able to apply stronger pressure across court to take out the win. Final score: 13 - LP 9. 10&U: Long Plains tried hard all game, but a much stronger Hummocks side came away with the win. Long Plains won the toss and took the first centre pass. Hummocks turned the ball over quickly, with Rebecca NilandWelsh (GD) playing an instrumental role in this. Hummocks’ Melanie Meyers (GA) shot the first goal for the game, despite the strong defensive pressure of Makayla Litzow (GD) for Long Plains. Brielle White, Hummocks, filled the position of WA for Long Plains and played very well, and had a good competition with her teammate Elizabeth Anderson at WD for Hummocks. Elizabeth displayed some excellent fight to keep the ball down Hummocks’ attacking end. Hum 6 - LP 0. Hummocks C, Emily Anderson, provided good attacking and defensive skills through the centre court, while Nicola Tiller (GK) defended well and turned the ball over several times. GS Jenaya White (Hum) moved the ball around the circle well with Melanie at GA. Hum 9 - LP 0. Abbey Bigg (WD) defended well for Hummocks, and stopped the ball from going over the sideline. Sienna Butson (WA) worked hard for the centre pass, and took many intercepts. Well done to Elizabeth (WA) for striving to assist Long Plains to score. Hum 10 - LP 0. Long Plains had a better quarter with more time in their attacking end. Melanie and Jenaya were strong in Hummocks’ defence and didn’t allow Long Plains to produce a goal out of their hard work. Emily (WA) again worked well for Long Plains, and did an excellent job in assisting the ball to the attacking end. Final score: Hum 11 - LP 0. Hummocks showed the superior skill level and experience in this game.

Roosters outpace Peckers

• From back page “It was never going to be good enough to be competitive against a team like that.” Seccafien continued to rack up possessions in the second half and had four goals to his name before leaving the field requiring stitches. “Everything a captain should do, on and off the field, he does it,” Thomson said. “He’s done everything right all year and he’s getting better and better.” Ben Spiteri had taken a heavy knock in the first quarter and Andrew Hardiman was eventually mothballed in the final term. Two Wells continually extinguished small flickers of a recovery from Balaklava for the remainder of the match. “They came at us late in the second and at the start of the third but we were able to hold the gap we made in the second quarter for the rest of the game,” Thomson said. Lachlan Franklin continued his great season on the wing, making a real statement after missing the grand final team last year, while Scott Wise and Peter Seccafien were other solid ball-winners for Two Wells. “Probably a lot of our improvement in the past month has been because of our wingmen, who play a defensive wing but run and spread hard when we win the footy,” Thomson said. Lee Allmond also played a different role pushing through the midfield and back into defence. “That is the way he wants to play this year, go back into that sweeper role and it allows (Simon) Feast to go forward too,” Thomson said. “He’s been training two nights a

Two Wells will need all and sundry and their best after the Zone weekend. “Mallala at Mallala, you can’t get a much bigger test in the league, really,” Thomson said. For Balaklava, Brice’s return was a successful one, yielding three goals. “He gave us a target in his first hitout since August last year,” Lamond said. “We didn’t have great expecta-

tions on him but he was able to provide was with an excellent option up forward and I thought he played well from the limited opportunities he had.” Chad Ruiz also managed three goals. “The combination of his work and the way he marked the ball was good to see,” Lamond added. “Our inside 50s would have been significantly lower than the opposi-

tion’s and we just weren’t getting enough clean footy in there, often enough. “I thought (Simon) Nankivell was our best defender and stuck to the task well while playing on a great player (Hardiman).” Luke Guy’s switch to defence also added a string to his bow. “He was on an opponent five or six inches taller than him with a bigger body but he battles hard and didn’t

get beaten on the day,” Lamond said. The loss proved costly, the Peckers losing touch with the top four. “It’s a really frustrating position to be in,” Lamond said. “Basically, we’ve been playing kids anyway, which is a great thing and really positive for the future of the club. “A number of lads under 18 years old have played A grade games they may not have got a chance to play last season. “There will certainly be more opportunities for young players to play going forward. “It can be turned around pretty quickly but we will have to beat sides we probably aren’t expected to beat.”

Second quarter haul not enough for a Pecker win Senior Colts Two Wells 11-13 (79) def Balaklava 7-4 (46)

Two Wells kicked to the southern end, with minimal breeze and Lachlan Goss opened their account early. Balaklava returned fire through Josh Harkness, but the Roosters replied quickly courtesy of Jamie Humphries, after quick movement from the centre. Keeping the game close, the Peckers responded with Jacob Wehr kicking the next goal. Then Humphries had an absolute purple patch, kicking three goals in three minutes. Playing well for the visitors were Humphries, with four goals off his own boot, Doc Heron and Joshua Pellizzari; while James Speissegger, Josh Harkness and Ryan Harris started well for the locals. Balaklava clawed their way back into the game in the second quarter, with two goals kicked by J Speissegger. In between his goals, Nick Seccafien marked and kicked truly for Two Wells. With a major to Balaklava’s Dillon Michael and Humphries then replying, kicking his fifth, the Peckers managed to outscore the Roosters for the quarter. The quick flowing game between one and two on the ladder remained tight at half time. Seccafien, Heron and Goss were playing well

for Two Wells, while Harkness, J Speissegger and Wehr were keeping Balaklava in the game. In the third quarter, the locals scored two majors, with D Michael and Harkness both kicking their second. The visitors kicked several behinds, but could not manage a major, their poor kicking keeping the Peckers in an enthralling game. Seccafien continued to play well, with Tyler Mills and Blake Catanzariti coming into the game for the Roosters. Balaklava’s J Speissegger continued to lead the way, with younger players Wehr and Bryce Chapman also playing well. Two Wells retained an eight point lead going into the last quarter and it was anybody’s game. However, in the last quarter, the visitors ran the game out well, peppering the goals for three misses, but then adding four majors straight. While the locals threatened early, they could not convert, adding only three points to their total. Jarrett Wilson kicked the first and last Two Wells goals for the quarter, while Brandon Lee and Jake Ludwick chimed in with one each. Finishing off good games for the Roosters were Heron and Seccafien, with good finishing in the last from Wilson. Charlie Arbon came into the game for the last quarter, Harris and Harkness tried hard for Balaklava and junior colt, Sam Michael, had three good touches.

Eagles win heart-stopper REPORT: Les Pearson HUMMOCKSWatchman Eagles won its first game sinceApril with a heart-stopping eightpoint win over United at Lochiel on Saturday. Trailing by about two goals deep in the final term, Justin Cicolella’s 60-metre long bomb gave Eagles fans some hope of a win and when James Mader slotted a seemingly impossible snap from the pocket, HWE secured a famous win. United again had its chances to win the game but was found wanting at a critical point in the match, unable to hold onto its lead late in the last quarter. “They kicked the last three goals of the game to win it, similar to the game from the previous week,” United coach, David White said. “The chance was there and they took it.” When veterans, Dylan Cicolella and Joel Wilson, went down with injury early, the Eagles were left with few midfield rotations but ground out the game. “It was good reward for the boys as they’ve put in a lot of effort and they’ve been training pretty hard in the past couple of weeks,” HWE coach, David Cluse said. “We spoke about that at half time as I think the boys got a bit ahead of themselves so I outlined to them that they needed to respond.” Kicking efficiency was a problem in the second term for the Eagles and United was capitalising on the errors, feeding fullforward, Koby Ettridge, who finished with eight goals. “We had a bad start so I got stuck into the lads at quarter time and they turned it around a bit,” White said. “The second quarter aside, I don’t think we really played well.” The Tigers led by one goal at the final change and the game was right on the line. “At three quarter time, we wanted them to keep playing with a little bit of dare and they did that,”

SHYLEIGH Cullen, HWE, kicks away in front of United’s Matt Waddell in the junior colts game. Cluse said. “We knew we probably needed the extra goal to make it really difficult for them,” White surmised. “Cicolella grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck and kicked a goal from 60 metres and they rallied from there.” The Tigers lost Simon Schulz to injury early on, who had been playing an effective defensive role on forward, Cameron McKinnon. McKinnon went on to kick seven goals. “I won’t say it was the difference but it went a long way towards the loss,” White said. “That really hurt us.” “The delivery was much better this week and we created some space for him (McKinnon),” Cluse added. The result marks another close but no cigar result for the Tigers. “The fact we couldn’t hang on was pretty disappointing,” White said. “Whether it is a legacy from seasons gone by, I don’t know. “Trying to put the finger on it is the main issue.” Ettridge starred up forward for United. “He was really good as our main focal point,” White said. “His first shot for goal came of his ankle and went the wrong way but after quarter time, he really picked up. “His marking on the lead and contested grabs

Final score H W EAGLES 16.13 (109) d UNITED TIGERS 16.5 (101) Best: HW Eagles - T.Sharpe, A.Turrell, T.Forrest, J.Cicolella, C.Scott, L.O’Donohue United - K.Ettridge, A.Mansfield, M.Pym, A.Mills, H.Pym, C.Faulkner

were great and he snapped a few goals too, he really did it all.” Travis Sharpe showed his best still cuts it at A grade level. “We played him in the back pocket as a third man up and he took several marks playing that role,” Cluse said. Tom Forrest and Cody Scott were also key contributors in defence, while Justin Cicolella and Leigh O’Donohue held down their respective midfield roles. “The style we want to play, we probably haven’t had the players in the team to play that way so far,” Cluse said.

“If you were going to watch a game each Saturday, you’d want to watch a game like that.” Cluse said he hoped to have several players back after the Zone break, including ruckman, Shaun Light, Lee Belperio, Joel Wilson and Nathan Greenshields. Wilson has been extremely unlucky with injury this season. “His running times are fantastic but when it comes to kicking a ball, that’s where the issues start,” Cluse said. For United, it is back to the drawing board once again. “From my point of

view, we’ve taken steps in the right direction,” White said. “Saturday’s result was a step backwards though.” White was to meet with club officials on Tuesday night to discuss the season to date and he indicated he was keen to coach the Tigers again next season. “I would like to,” he said. “For now, it’s about consolidating for the rest of the year and getting on the right track for next year by getting a few more wins. “We’ve put in a fair bit of hard work, so if we can keep the group together there’s potential to build on. “We haven’t been able to get our best team on the park this season and while it might be the same at other clubs, they can probably afford to as we haven’t quite got the depth others do.”

MALLALA continued on its merry way with a hard-earned but convincing win over Virginia at Virginia on Saturday afternoon, the Magpies running out 48-point victors. The match was marred by a few physical altercations in the second term but that aside, it proved to be an excellent game of local footy. Mallala started the better team, booting six goals to two and taking a firm grip of the contest at the first change. Virginia answered back with interest, returning the favour to the Magpies and arriving at half time only four points down. “We got off to a good start in the first quarter and were up to five goals in front at one stage,” Mallala coach, Steve Lubcke said. “They really played well in the second quarter to wipe out the deficit. “We were on top of the stoppages early but the second quarter was a complete reversal.” Virginia coach, Joss DenEngelse, said the slow start cost his team dearly. “Early on, we were far too unaccountable,” he said. “When you play catch-up footy, you expel a lot of energy getting back into the game. “We left it up to too few on the weekend. “We spoke about putting pressure on them before the game, so I wanted the boys to respond and go man on man.” Depending on what side of the fence you sit certainly affects the interpretation of some physical altercations in the second quarter. “They wrecked their own momentum going physical against us,” Lubcke said, who was disappointed no reports came from the incidents. “It is one of my pet hates of the league, the reluctance to report players who clearly throw a punch,” he added. DenEngelse played down the significance and impact of the incidents. “I’m all about discipline but I didn’t

think the small skirmishes reflected on the result at all,” he said. “I wasn’t too upset with the boys as they flew the flag a bit, something we haven’t been doing much this year. “I think the boys’ discipline has been fantastic this year and we spoke about the skirmishes at half time to nip it in the bud.” After half time, Mallala regained control of the centre circle and the match. “We went back to what caused that turn around in the second quarter,” Lubcke said. “They put us under a bit of pressure and we were trying to be too cute, going too wide. “It is one of the hardest things to do from a coaching perspective, to regain the initiative when a team has momentum.” Mallala extended the 25-point break at the final change, running away with the match and relegating Virginia to fourth spot on the table. “Come the last quarter, we wouldn’t give it up again,” Lubcke said. The Magpies’ midfield proved match winners, including Joel Montgomerie and Dale King. “Usually Ben Russell has an impact on Joel but he broke that tag and played really well,” Lubcke said. “I thought our onballers controlled the game for three quarters at least. “Jason Earl’s patch of form over the past six weeks has also been great.” DenEngelse agreed with Earl’s telling influence. “Probably on my part, the coaching staff got a few things wrong at the start of the game,” he said. “We played a loose man in defence, so they had a loose man too and that happened to be Jason Earl.

“They did their homework on us and gave us a bit of a football lesson in the end. “They put on a few blocks for Joel and he got himself into the game early.” Lubcke said Jake Birchmore played a great game dropping back in front of forward, Brendon Niklaus (five goals) a few times and showed a lot of courage. Rob Montgomery had the job on Niklaus. “He certainly did the role very well back there,” Lubcke said. The Magpies’ coach believed his team showed glimpses of its best footy. “In patches it was,” Lubcke said. “We could have fallen away after such an onslaught in the second quarter. “We set ourselves a goal to get the double chance and hopefully we can continue along the path to get that. “At this point in time, I’m very happy with where we are.” Conversely, DenEngelse was disappointed with how the match unfolded. “It was probably the most ordinary game with our skills that we’ve played all year,” he said. “We were playing for top spot, so there was probably no reason not to come out hard.” Anthony Johnstone excelled across half back for the Rams, while Chris James, Adrian Mark and Ryan Starr were solid contributors. “One of Johnstone’s assets is his marking and he’s really been putting himself in great positions this year, as well as finding plenty of touches across half back,” DenEngelse said. “I think we’ve been a little better than fourth on the ladder but we’re only percentage from third and one game off second.”

SPORT v Football/Netball

Central Zone will kick off carnival

north eastern netball association reports

RSMU fire up for a win

Final squad for championships chosen tonight THE final squad to represent the Central Zone for this weekend’s State Country Football Championships at Port Pirie will be chosen following a training session at Mallala tonight (Wednesday). Central Zone coach, Andy Michael, said there was only 14 players at last week’s training session at Lobethal and hoped for a better turnout at the more central venue. “All the zone teams I played for had at least 20 there at the training,” he said. “Only 14 players averages out to 3.5 players per league, so it wasn’t an ideal turnout. “In saying that, there were a lot of blokes with work commit-

REPORT: Les Pearson ments and maybe the distance factor was an issue. “Mind you, Tom Riggs travelled down from the other side of Burra, so if you’re keen, you’ll get there.” Michael added a few more names to the squad, including Two Wells ruckman, Ben Slattery. “He’s about 19 or so, which might give us the flexibility to pick another senior player for another part of the ground.” The Central Zone team is sure to be brimming with talent, Rowan Prior (Eudunda-

Robertstown) enjoyed a stellar Landmark Cup and could come into selection considerations. Angus Bruggemann (Mallala) and Glenn Dundovic (Blackwood) are expected to form part of the forward line. The likes of Ryan Darling (Blyth-Snowtown), Joel Montgomerie (Mallala), Brodie Murphy (South Clare) and Dean Storic (Balaklava) vying for midfield positions. “They’ve all played this level before, which gives us some good midfield firepower,” Michael said. Central Zone is expected to play the first match of the carnival at about 10am.

North clare v rsmu

A1: North Clare 47 v RSMU 51 RSMU came out of the blocks firing to be up by nine goals at quarter time. North worked hard to pin back the deficit, making up ground to only be down by three goals at half time. A great comeback in the third quarter by North Clare saw them leading by one goal at three quarter time and almost saw them pip RSMU at the post but RSMU rallied to come out winners by four goals. A2: North Clare 41 v RSMU 38 A fast paced game with the lead changing throughout. Consistent shooting in the final quarter saw RSMU take the lead but North Clare capitalised on some great turnovers to win the game by three. RSMU were strong in defence all game and had some great passages of play. North Clare showed great drive through the mid court and finished off well when under pressure. Great game by everyone! B1: North Clare 45 v RSMU 53 An even first quarter saw RSMU leading by one at quarter time. Careless mistakes made by North during the second quarter resulted in RSMU leading by seven at half time and the match continued in much the same fashion. Both North and RSMU made some changes in the second half, with RSMU coming away winners by eight goals at the end of the match. B2: North Clare 54 v RSMU 31 Slow start by North with RSMU scoring the first four goals with no reply. North then steadied their play to be up at quarter time. With good shooting by Donna Larwood. Jo Manning applied good pressure in the circle. Sarah Jaeschke and Jo Goodwin came on at half time and North played a solid second half coming away with a good win. RSMU goalies Chloe McEvoy and Annie Vater remained accurate throughout the game. Great team effort by North. C1: North Clare 33 v RSMU 38 Good strong start by RSMU to give them a seven goal lead at the first change. They kept the momentum going with good shooting by Maddie. Few changes at half time by North

saw them come out strong. Great pressure and rebounding by Katie Allen as well as lovely intercepts by Amelia Kuchel and Paige Ritchie. Northies kept the pressure on in the last quarter to go down by five goals. Great effort girls. C2: North Clare 61 v RSMU 30 Strong start by both teams, with some lovely open use of the entire court. Some lovely shooting by Stevie-Lee of RSMU. RSMU also had some positional changes due to injury. North played an excellent game, with some of the girls playing out of position, with Holly Salter and Mel Helbig playing a blinder. 15&U: North Clare 60 v RSMU 17 A strong start from North Clare with good defensive pressure and attacking drive. Excellent combining in the circle from North’s Chloe Cook and Georgia-May Hill. Accurate shooting from RSMU’s Kelly-Anne Dutten to capitalise on all shooting opportunities. Good four quarters from Alice McKenzie for RSMU. North Clare experimented with a variety of combinations throughout the match to still finish with a convincing win. J1: North Clare 15 v RSMU 40 An exciting first quarter of netball played with North trailing by four goals. RSMU then took control of the second quarter with great shooting by Georgie Rowett and Hayley Busch. North Clare tried hard with great defence work of Jess Aucote and Chloe Bolitho but too many intercepts by Terri Wilkinson made North struggle. J2: North Clare 29 v RSMU 9 Last time these teams met it ended in a draw. North came out strong in the first quarter to lead by six. Great shooting by North goalies during the second quarter to increase their lead. RSMU kept their heads up all game, making North work hard for the ball. A good game by all. Well done to both teams. J3: No game. J4: Congratulations to all girls on a very high standard game, with excellent shooting from both teams and some fantastic defence from Chloe Goodwin and Chloe Oakley. Great enthusiasm from all players and spectators.

Blyth Golf Club hosts Open Men, Mixed Ambrose

HAMLEY Bridge Ladies Open place getters, from left: C Grade winner, Moya Hayes Balaklava, runner-up, Tine Perry Kapunda, A Grade winner, Celia Douglas Penfield, runner-up Meeghan Button Highercombe, A Grade Handicap winner, Louise Michael Balaklava, B Grade winner, Lucy Bashford and runner-up, Carole Molloy Kapunda, A Grade Handicap runner-up and Veterans winner, Shirley Noble Hamley Bridge, Veterans and B Grade Handicap runner-up, J Mashford Ardrossan.

Ladies Open well supported

Hamley Bridge Golf Club hosted its Ladies Open on Friday June 28, and after a number of years without having an open, it was nice to see 28 ladies from a number of different clubs competing and supporting the day. The day was perfect, and the course was in excellent condition and was a credit to the volunteers. White sand had recently been put on the black scrapes, and even though most ladies had trouble with their putting, it was nothing to do with the scrapes! Celia Douglas won the A Grade Stroke competition with 80 off the stick, with Highercombe’s Meeghan Button on 83. A Grade Handicap winner was Louise Michael of Balaklava with nett 72, and local Shirley Noble runner up with nett 76. B Grade Stroke winner was Lucy Bashford of Kapunda with 96 off the wand, with Carole Molloy right

Golf Balaklava

Twenty-five fearless flailers fronted last Saturday for our P.B. Thompson Plumbing Trophy Stroke competition, but the soursobs and other dire threats led to there being 3 DNFs. He who finished best however was our club champ, young Willum’ Parkin, who stormed home with an unassailable 72/70 to street the field. His fellow A grader Ian Michael (82/73) came in a strong second leaving Peter Thompson (82/74) to claim third. M. Hameister (89/78) and D. Taylor (95/82) completed the doings. Graham “Emu” Ackland (90/76) called upon the good Count Bach to hoik David Rodgers (96/76) into the B grade’s second spot, while the ever-threatening John Curnow (95/77) quietly claimed third place. And so it came to pass that they were followed by J. Michael (100/80), W. Nagle (96/82) and the epitome of elegance, Patricia Anderson (98/83). From the C grade gathering emerged a triumphant Andrew Manuel with a score of 94/73, chased home by a very determined Dean Trickett (96/75), who just managed to escape the bloody claws of hardfinishing Trevor Gilmour (106/76). The troubled train of triers thus trumped consisted of Ian Jenkin (101/76), presumably as a result of covert consultations with the crafty Count, Tania Matz (99/77), G. Leo (99/78), G. Sonntag (100/79), M. Liptrot (103/80), M. Smith (105/80) and G. Anderson (117/86). K. McPharlin tendered another card in search of a handicap. According to “The Book” there were Birdies struck on the day with none deemed to be kosher, but a full menu of Nearest The Pins was on offer, to wit: Ian Michael on the third, Doug Taylor (8th), Austin Henstridge (10th), Peter Thompson (15th) and young Willum Parkin for his second shot into the 17th. Golfer of the Winter points fell, like dandruff, onto the shoulders of Bill Parkin (6), Ian Michael (5), Andrew Manuel (4), Peter Thompson (3), Dean Trickett (2) and the rest of those who finished, one each. This Saturday we rejoin for the Royal Hotel’s two-personAmbrose, an absolute “must play” event so get organised now - we’ll be joined, most likely, by none other than Peter Lamont apparently, so make sure that you’re turned out in a meet and proper manner. Our glorious President Ian Michael, no less, will check and either approve or deny each player’s personal presentation as being “fit for play on the day”, while Scott Davey will

behind her on 97. Handicap winner of the B Grade was Chris Pfitzner of Kapunda with nett 73, and J Mashford of Ardrossan on 77 on a countback. C Grade Stableford winner with 36 points was Moya Hayes of Balaklava, with Tine Perry of Kapunda on 34 on a countback. Veterans winner was Shirley Noble, and runner up J Mashford. Nearest the pins were few and far between with Prue Skinner of Clare winning the A Grade, and no-one from B or C Grades hitting the scrapes in one! Longest drives were won by Celia Douglas, Carolyn Koch and Marianne Daniel. Next year will be an exciting year for the club as it will celebrate its centenary! Keep an eye out for upcoming dates for centenary celebrations in 2014.

re-assure those in tattered rags of their true worth from his little booth at the 19th. Thanks to Peter Thompson we can get the jump on Wikkileaks and reveal that the state of play viz-a-viz the Split Sixes was, on the day, Town & Country (120 points), Builders & Labourers (118), The President’s Men (115), The Casual Clan (102), Single & Dangerous (99) and the Odd Angry Bunch (98). Bill Parkin smote the highest individual points for the day, no less than 48 do you mind. However, in terms of progressive scores, we can present the following status report: The Casual Clan (231), Town & Country (222), The President’s Men (218), the Odd Angry Bunch (213), Single & Dangerous (212) and Builders & Labourers (205).

In a field of 30 players, it seems the new scrapes kept the scoring average down with quite a few players leaving puts short at times. However, Barrie Zerna still managed a pretty good score to win the Par competition, played in honour off the late Alec Jarmyn a former voluntary course committee worker, with +4. Neville Durdin, who will be playing his last match for the club in our open day before moving to Port Lincoln, came in second with +3 on a countback from Mick Nicholls and Colin Doudle +3. Leading Grade scores: A GRADE: Neville Durdin, Mick Nicholls +3, Roger Hahn +2, Barry Schwartz +1, Len Usher, John Bell square. B GRADE: Barrie Zerna +4, Colin Doudle +3, Dennis Nation, Ron Smith square, George Dahlitz -1. C GRADE: Gary Woods +1, Bob Charman -1, Roen Cameron, Helen Bell, Noel Stringer -2.

Another spectacular stroke event at the Majestic Owen dunes last Saturday saw 15 of Owens Supreme athletes compete in a history making clash. Players and spectators enjoyed the perfect conditions and the close competition as players put on a breathtaking display of golfing talent. Felicitations to junior member Jake ‘the real deal’ Harkness with a personal best of 97 off the stick and a miraculous 61 Net to win the day. Runner-up was the V8 super scooter rider, Len ‘the bad boy’ Beaty, who raced home with a 102 off the stick setting the pace with 67 Net score. Third was captain, Brett Fitton, winning on a CB with 79 Off the beater and 70 net, Team Freebairn’s Peter also winning on a CB with an 81 Net 70 followed by Les Hean 91, net 70, ‘Buzz Light-Year’ Harkness 85, 72 Net, president, Peter Sullivan 103, 74 Net, almost football legend, Gavin Branson 106, net 79, Slippery Wayne ‘slippy’ Heaslip 103, net 82.

this season playing for handicap. Bruzz finding some form in his first game since last year with a brand new set of sticks and a great season start. Owen welcomed Dublin’s apprentice butcher, Dylan Garland, last Saturday as he joined the Owen line up. Dylan took a break from slicing up chops to carving up the course in an impressive display for his first game of golf. Men’s Long Drive on the 1st was a complete fluke going to club champion, Peter Pirate Freebairn; Vets Long Drive on the 5th went to Power supporter, Les Hean, with the Pro’s Approach on the 4th going to Bazz light year, to infinity and beyond. Mondays with Merv saw Chooka Glen Ince win the day with a classy 42 points, and an 86 between the pavers. Longest Drive went to Marvellous Merv Hameister with captain Brett taking out the Biggest Dummy Spit award. Ladies captain, Dawn Hean and Club Champ, Kathy ‘Hearts’ Harkness gave the club a much needed women’s touch last Saturday, joining in the Stroke competition. Course manager, Les Hean, said, “It’s always great to see the ladies out on a Saturday enjoying the course and making the most of the excellent conditions.” Owen’s awesome foursome with a packed lunch headed for Blyth last Sunday to compete in their annual Ambrose competition. President, Peter Sullivan, captain Brett, Super Chook Glen Ince and Magic Merv Hameister - on loan from Balaklava - flew the Owen Flag coming in second and 7 under the card. Glen Ince said, “It’s disappointing taking a loss by less than a stroke but overall we are pleased with the result. “It was a team effort that got us through, a big thankyou to Peter Sullivan for keeping our balls clean. “Congratulations to Claire for the close win and to Blyth Golf Club for their hospitality and rememberable event.” Young gun Jake Harkness represented Owen in the junior

Results from Saturday June 29 – Stroke Competition (Club Championships round two). It was second round of the Club Championships and 26 players were present in beautiful conditions, and with the course looking a treat. Andrew Baker had a day out with a fine 78/64 and only 21 putts to win A Grade and the putting competition. Yogi Frencken continued his good recent form with 80/64 to be second on the day, and also second in the gross A Grade and well in front in the net comp and vets comp, after two rounds as well. Chris Girling continued his good scores off the stick to add a 76 to last week’s 75, to have a lead of seven over Yogi for Club Champion. Stuart Grigg’s 78/68 altered his handicap to 9, the first time he has had a single figure handicap. B Grade’s first three places were decided on countback with all three players recording a net 70. Winner was James Weir from Blue Bowden and Tim Clifton. Ian Smith is the leader of B Grade Champs from Tim Clifton and Paul Shields, with the winner likely to come from anywhere in the top seven players. Chris Girling scored the first Birdie for the season on the Par 3 second hole, to pick up a box of balls. Visit http://www.twowellsgolfclub.com.au/ for all the scores.

Perfect Presentation and Location

This extremely well presented three bedroom home has all bases covered. Starting with the attractive, modern kitchen featuring wide benches, double upright pantry cupboard and under bench oven with ceramic hotplates. Overlooking the kitchen is a dining area with views through to the lovely back yard. The features don’t stop there with split system heating and cooling, ducted evaporative air conditioning, large carpeted lounge room and the home frontage has appealing bay windows. The bathroom and laundry have both had a refreshing makeover with the added bonus of built in cupboards in the laundry. The yard also has many attributes including a semi enclosed entertaining area, established lawns and gardens and a huge three bay shed with power which is screened off from the back yard creating a low maintenance work area. There is also rainwater storage with automatic pump and clear rear access to the shed is a must for the boat or caravan. This is a very affordable home with nothing to do but enjoy it and maybe change the colour to one of your choice.

Viet Nguyen shows an inhaler and spacer at Balaklava Chemplus.

Asthma check is vital Asthma affects more than two million Australians and has a huge impact on many lives. More than 400 Australians die, unnecessarily, each year from asthma, a disease which can usually be well controlled with good management. Balaklava Chemplus has partnered with Wymedical to introduce the “ABLE 5 Minute Asthma Check-up.” Through the check-up, trained staff can quickly and easily assess if you have your asthma under control. “Asthma sufferers can improve their lung function if they get on top of their asthma,” said Pharmacist, Viet Nguyen. “You can help yourself get on top of this disease by having a simple check up, which might save your life.” Viet and his staff will assess your breathing techniques to ensure you are using your puffers correctly, and advise on the benefits of using a spacer. Using a spacer will allow 90 per cent more medication to reach your lungs, as opposed to 10-50 per cent without a spacer – a huge difference.

The chemist has available for purchase a range of handy spacers which can store your puffer inside, along with infant and child masks which attach to a spacer. The spacer has a useful control whistle, which assists to slow your breathing down to maximise the dosage reaching your lungs. Staff at Balaklava Chemplus can also assess your breathing through a peak flow meter, which you can also purchase to self-monitor at home. It’s not just allergens that increase inflammation of the lungs and trigger asthma, but also cold weather, coughs and colds which can contribute to your shortness of breath. If you are waking at night with coughing or wheezing, or using your reliever three or more times a week, it’s time to be assessed. Contact Viet and the staff on 8862 1274, or pop in for a quick five minute assessment. No bookings are required. Don’t put it off – it’s such a simple thing that can save your life.
