The beginning of the end for fishing from Port Wakefield as pro license…

Buyback begins PORT Wakefield haulnet fisher, Stewart Butson, prepares to pull in his catch with deck hand, Zeke Bitter. Stewart is one of several local commercial fishers weighing up their options in coming weeks.

THE State Government has begun offering South Australian commercial fishers the option to voluntarily sell their fishing licenses and entitlements.

The move comes as part of the government’s push to reduce commercial fishing effort to accommodate the state’s 19 marine parks, which include sanctuary zones where no fishing can take place.

The reduction in fishing area will make a number of commercial fishers unviable, particularly in Marine Park 14, at the top of the Gulf St Vincent.

Marine Park Action Group chairman and haulnet fisher, Bart

out could seem like a somewhat reasonably attractive option, Mr Butson said the lack of detail in regards to how much the government would pay for licenses and entitlements made him wary.

“I haven’t decided at this stage whether it is worth taking that gamble,” he said.

“Other fishermen in the area are in the same boat, they’re uncertain and unclear.”

There was also the indication of compulsory acquisition if there were not enough licenses voluntarily surrendered.

“We’re trying to work out what compensation we would be entitled

Les Pearson reports: Butson, said the government has sent information to fishers across the state on how they can voluntarily sell their licenses.

“The information package suggests they are looking to buy back 12 marine scale fishing licenses, six haulnet and six line fishers, statewide,” Mr Butson said.

He said the government is looking to buy out fishers who currently fish within the proposed sanctuary zones, which fits the bill with many of the commercial fishers based at Port Wakefield.

While the offer of being bought

to as there is no clear figure,” Mr Butson said.

“The wording isn’t they will buy our business, from what I can tell, they just want the license.

“That’s the part that hits hard because the license is only the core of the business.

“That will probably be their stumbling block as they will find there won’t be many willing to give their license up.

“They haven’t done it how the industry wanted and it will probably get the uptake it deserves.”

It has been a long, drawn out fight for the local fishing industry, the marine parks process continuing

for years on end.

Mr Butson was frustrated with the continuous changes of heart by the State Government, as evidenced by an article published in the Plains Producer on February 4, 2009, relating to the planning of Marine Park 14.

“The management plans are expected to designate most of the marine park areas for general use,” the article said.

Mr Butson strongly felt the resulting Marine Park 14 sanctuary zones, which consume 22 per cent of the area, went against that ethos.

Fishers have until the end of August to decide if they will voluntarily surrender their licenses.

NEWS v District Wakefield Regional Council

Big issues tackled at tonight’s meeting

WAKEFIELD Regional Council will decide on its revised Long Term Financial Plan tonight at the monthly meeting.

The plan factors in several smaller rate rises on the back of a motion from Western Ward councillor, Richard Pain, earlier this month.

The new LTFP has several models to consider, although the recommended model returns council to surplus in seven years while also factoring in major investment on upgrading council’s road infrastructure.

A report into the Everard Waste Depot site also recommends the staged selling of the land, which was purchased for about $500,000 in 2005 with the scope to develop it into a regional waste facility.

The regional waste facility concept never took off, with other nearby councils showing little interest.

Council is looking at reducing the number of elected members by one following the Elector Representation Review.

The scrapping of wards to allow the district to vote for all nine councillors was also recommended.

An upgrade of Wedding Road, which leads to Gilmac’s Balaklava headquarters, will be voted on tonight.

The $106,000 project will seal an extra 100 metres of the road and involve a 50 per cent contribution between council and the hay exporter.

Council will deliberate on all the above matters at tonight’s meeting.

Stage two rolls on

Transporting the mammoth windmill parts to Snowtown along Highway 1 has begun under the cover of early morning darkness.

Snowtown II Windfarm The transportation of the turbine pieces for the Snowtown II wind farm includes: n 30 49m long blades n 240 53m long blades n 90 wind turbine nacelles n 90 – hubs, coolers, transformers n 210 tower sections n Two main power transformers

Introducing

The new eyewear collection designed exclusively for Specsavers.

Huge blades hit the road THE hefty task of transporting more than 660 pieces of equipment, including 210 of the 53-metre long rotor blades, from Port Adelaide to the multi-million dollar Snowtown II wind farm site has begun.

The highly advanced wind technology arrived in Adelaide recently, ready for the construction of the Snowtown II wind farm.

Siemens Energy vice president, David Pryke, said Snowtown II will help South Australia become the leading state for renewable energy production.

“Every aspect of this project is state-of-the-art and uses the highly efficient and low maintenance wind technology,” he said “Snowtown II will have advanced, gearless-drive turbines through to the high-tech 53-metre rotor blades, which are cast in one piece, making them structurally and aerodynamically best suited to the strong wind conditions at the site.”

Mr Pryke said the transportation of the huge parts forms a key logistical stage of the project.

“Because of the sheer size of the parts, we have to move these one piece at a time, each with police escort,” he said.

“If you laid out the rotor blades alone end to end they would form a road train about 13 kilometres long.”

Siemens was appointed the

turnkey supplier of the Snowtown II wind farm by New Zealand electricity company TrustPower, in July last year.

TrustPower Australia general manager, Peter Calderwood, said TrustPower was delighted with progress to date and the fact the project has been moving along smoothly and to schedule.

“From our perspective, things couldn’t be going better,” he said.

“The local community remains hugely supportive of our expansion.

“We have seen additional benefits such as the expansion of some local businesses, and the ability of local fire crews to use wind farm roads to gain faster and easier access to some fires that broke out during what really was an exceptionally hot and dry summer.

“That meant those fires could be contained much more quickly and easier than in the past, preventing them from developing into something larger.”

The Snowtown II wind farm will be capable of producing 270 megawatts of energy which will power up to 180,000 South Australian homes.

Siemens is collaborating with local South Australian business E & A Contractors for the manufacture of 20 of the towers for the Snowtown II wind farm.

NEWS v District

Clare council to launch bid for Masters games CLARE and Gilbert Valleys Council will launch a competitive bid to host the annual State Masters Games in 2015.

The event attracts about 1000 competitors across a range of sports each year, not counting spectators, support crew and family members.

Valleys Lifestyle Centre manager, Andrew Waters, delivered a report to council last week with a recommendation to submit a bid to host the games.

CGVC chief executive officer, Roy Blight, said the recommendation was carried unanimously.

Mr Blight said other local sporting bodies have also shown support for council’s bid.

“Local sporting bodies have been very supportive and very keen for council to submit an expression of interest,” he said.

“Council’s track record of hosting major sporting events in the district is also very good.”

After the roaring successes of two previous Tour Down Under stages running through the district, Mr Blight felt the local community would also embrace the Masters Games.

“We have terrific sporting facilities in the area, making this an ideal opportunity to showcase them and also create interest in sport in the area,” he said.

The 2014 games will be held at Naracoorte in April, featuring 23 sports over four days.

Mr Blight suggested the area’s location was a drawcard that could play in its favour when picking the 2015 venue.

“Our proximity to Adelaide is a positive, with good access from the major transport corridors around the state, and we also have outstanding accommodation options in an area used to facilitating major events,” he said.

“There are obvious economic benefits for the district but we’re also about finding opportunities to bring people to the council area and this presents a new frontier in terms of creating that.”

Mr Blight believed Mr Waters was well underway towards compiling an outstanding submission, which could put council in the box seat to secure the 2015 event.

Bids to host the event close by the end of July.

Wonderous life works

Unity support for council CLARE and Gilbert Valleys Council was on the end of some extremely kind words from residential developer, Unity Housing, regarding its co-operation in partnering a new housing development in Saddleworth.

The appreciation from Unity was shown at a special builders’ breakfast, an annual event where council invites local tradespeople along to meet with and discuss building related issues with council’s development staff and elected members.

CGVC chief executive officer, Roy Blight, said the event gives builders and other local tradespeople the opportunity to learn about any new developmental or legislation changes at local government level.

Mr Blight said Unity representatives were invited to the event to also familiarise themselves with local contractors and talk about the workforce accommodation project, which will need to be completed by June 2014.

“Unity simply said they were very grateful for council’s support and encouragement and felt it has helped greatly in getting the project up and running,” he said.

A development plan amendment to have the community land status revoked is currently awaiting ministerial approval.

Mr Blight was confident the application would be approved.

“When we lodged the application with the minister’s office, we had some interaction with advisors in the department who indicated there were no real ‘shows stoppers’ in it,” he said.

“We have emphasised there is an end point in terms of delivery of the project.”

Plains Producer, Wednesday July 24, 2013

BODIES will line the walls of the Riverton Light Gallery when it hosts an exhibition from the state’s oldest life drawing group early next month.

For the uninitiated, life drawing is the art of drawing the human form, usually nude, which can vary from anatomically correct and detailed work, to the abstract and unusual interpretation of the artist.

The exhibition will consist of drawings and paintings of the nude/ human figure from 29 artists in the Adelaidebased Hubbe Court Life Drawing Group, which is affiliated with the Royal South Australian Society of Arts (RSASA).

Riverton Light Gallery curator, Alison Mitchell, along with husband and acclaimed and decorated local artist, Robert Hannaford, have been members of the group for decades.

Alison said the exhibition is, in part, to celebrate the 90th birthday of the Hubbe Court Life Drawing Group.

“We think that it is the oldest continuous running life-drawing group in Australia but definitely in South Australia,” she said.

Robert believed life drawing was a wonderful art form but extremely challenging.

“The human body is a great inspiration,” he said.

“Sir Joshua Reynolds (an 18th century English painter) said ‘if you can draw the human body, you can draw anything’.”

“A lot of people do it to keep their hand-eye coordination going in a sense but the group is very serious about it,” Alison added.

“Everyone knows what the human body looks like, so there is the risk if you get it wrong, you tend to get it really wrong.”

The exhibition opening will be between 2 and 4.30pm on Saturday, August 3.

Two Wells Netball Club to benefit from $1200 grant NETBALLERS at Two Wells Football and Netball Sporting Club can’t wait to face off against their competitors following a $1200 grant from Telstra’s Kids Fund program.

The local club purchased goal post protectors and netballs for its junior league teams.

It will also be installing a permanent storage cupboard to store its new equipment in for safekeeping.

The club is just one of 625 community non-profit organisations across Australia that will this year share in $750,000 of Telstra’s Kids Fund grants available through the Telstra Foundation.

Telstra Country Wide Area General Manager for South Australia North, John Tonkin, said the grants were widely recognised for making a genuine difference to local organisations supporting children.

“The funds really do make a positive and lasting difference to children’s futures and boost the ability of local organisations to support their community,” Mr Tonkin said.

Mr Tonkin said grant recipients were nominated

by Telstra employees whose children in their immediate family are actively involved in community organisations.

A TYPICAL work day can be tough to face without a decent cuppa and Emma Dunstan’s daily grind is the perfectly brewed pick-me-up to get you going.

The 19-year-old Clarebased barista, who works at the Little Red Grape bakery at Sevenhill, will be vying for the title of the region’s best coffee conjurer at the South Australian Regional Barista of the Year competition next month.

The competition, hosted by Regional Development Australia Yorke and Mid North, will crown the best baristas and cafes of the Clare Valley, Southern Flinders and Yorke Peninsula regions.

The Regional Barista of the Year will be decided with a public brew-off event on Sunday, August 4.

Baristas from participating cafes across the region will compete for coffee glory in front of a panel of judges, friends, and spectators at the Clare Sports Club.

“We know that there are so many people taking a great interest in the whole ‘coffee culture’ phenomenon, and we really encourage the public to come to this free event and see what a competition like this looks like, and how professional baristas are judged,” event organiser, Midge Wallace said.

Emma has worked at the Little Red Grape for about eight months and was nominated as a competition candidate by an impressed customer.

She said getting the milk and coffee shot right were keys to making a classy coffee.

“I have my days where the milk works, sometimes it doesn’t,” Emma said.

“The weather can also have an effect on things and you’ve got to change your grinders

Emma Dunstan, from the Little Red Grape bakery at Sevenhill, with her specially crafted cappuccino. every day.”

Emma has been working on fine-tuning some special skills in the lead up to the barista competition, visiting the Coffee Barn in Adelaide to take on some tips.

She was keen to put on a brave face at the slightly nervewracking event.

“I’ll try and at least look confident, even if I’m not,” Emma laughed.

As a coffee consumer, she recommended customers try a chai or caramel latte for something different.

“People who really know their coffee usually order a short black or macchiato,”

Emma said.

Bill Comley from SACA and 9 Bar Espresso Services will be the head judge once again, and the main sensory judge is Peter Giannakis from HG Coffee School.

Both judges have just come from the World Barista Championship recently hosted in Melbourne.

The 2013 Best Coffee Venue in the region will also be decided at the competition.

Mystery judges were used to judge the competing venues during the month of July.

Entrants in the 2013 Barista of the Year competition are: • Alli Kocsis, Wild Saffron, Clare, • Garry Fieldhouse, Gally’s Meeting House, Farrell Flat, • Emma Dunstan, Little Red Grape, Sevenhill, • Saied Safavi, Caffe Florence, Port Pirie • Matt Traeger, Jamaica Blue, Port Pirie, • Tammy Quinn, Orroroo Café and Take-away, Orroroo • A manda Yarrow, Stump Jump Café, Ardrossan.

“A lot of the prizes are valuable vouchers for formal coffee training and ‘How To’ training books, because the aim of the competition is really to improve the standard of coffee across the region,” Mrs Wallace said.

“We would have loved more entrants to have a go but we do recognize that many of our cafes are small family-run businesses with the business owner often the main coffee-maker, and they find it difficult to release someone for the day.”

She said if there was anyone else who feels they somehow missed out and would like to participate, they can get in touch urgently on 0427 423 115.

Many people have a nickname.

Some are just different versions of your own name, while others have nothing to do with anything.

For example, I’m often called Lou, Lulu or Lois Lane, or for those who can’t spell my name, I’m Loise, Liouse, Louis, Louse and my favourite, Lousie.

And some would call me Polly as in waffle. They are so rude.

But I’m also called Mrs Brown and (rhymes with cart) by a few very special people.

How did I get those?

Mrs Brown is fairly obvious – from the television series Mrs Brown’s Boys.

Yep, that’s me – catholic mother of many children who says ... lots of words! Thankyou for that name, Paul McBride.

As for (rhymes with cart), that came from my fun bank days when we just called each other (rhymes with cart).

All said in a very lighthearted way – and my mum even says it now, so it can’t be that bad!

So after a conversation with workmates Lelly, Rusty, Reddy, Fingers, Jimbo, Mr Ed, Madge and Granny, we thought it would be a good idea to hear from you all about those very random nicknames around the place.

I know there are heaps around and as of next week, some will be revealed.

Let me know of someone with an unexplained nickname, and I will try to find out how and why it came about!

NEWS v District

Check the safety of kids’ seats PARENTS are being invited to have their child restraints checked by an RAA expert at an Australian Breastfeeding Association meeting at Balaklava on Thursday.

The RAA checks about 1000 child restraints each year, with 88 per cent of them installed incorrectly.

RAA community education senior manager, Ben Haythorpe, said child restraints, like seatbelts, will only provide the maximum safety protection if they are used correctly.

“Using an appropriate restraint that is properly fitted reduces the risk of serious injury or death by up to 70 per cent,” he said.

“All carers should definitely take this opportunity to have their child restraints checked by an expert to ensure their most precious cargo is safely and properly secured.’’

Australian Breastfeeding Association (ABA) local administrator, Narelle Michael, said the meeting will provide life-saving advice on how to keep children safe in vehicles.

“There’s a lot of grey areas around child restraints but it’s such an important safety issue,’’ said Mrs Michael.

“Things like when a baby should be turned to a forward facing position, or when children are old enough to sit in the front seat, are things all parents need to know.’’

“The losses were quite substantial.”

Mr Benson said the reduction in services was not permanent.

“If the numbers picked up again, we still have the contract, so if the demand was there, we could restart the daily service.

“We’ve still retained two days a week and there is the option of catching the Copper Coast service from Port Wakefield every day if passengers can get there.

“We have had people say they’re surprised we were still servicing it two days a week.”

The Copper Coast service will still operate daily, leaving Port Wakefield, Dublin, Two Wells, and Virginia passengers relatively unaffected.

Mr Bensen was sympathetic for any inconvenience caused to passengers, declaring the decision to reduce the Balaklava to Adelaide service was a tough call.

“It wasn’t an easy decision for us but we survive solely on ticket sales, that’s the core of our business, so the decision had to be made,” he said.

DAILY bus services between Balaklava and Adelaide were reduced this month after a heavy drop in school student numbers made the service unviable.

Yorke Peninsula Coaches had been operating a daily service between Balaklava and Adelaide from Monday to Friday but cut that back to two services a week.

The bus service between Balaklava, which passed through Mallala to Adelaide, now only operates on Mondays and Fridays.

Yorke Peninsula Coaches operations manager, Mark Bensen, said the situation had been gradually deteriorating, leading to the reduction of services.

“We had been monitoring the service for the past 18 months,” he said.

“The decision was made purely because of the drop in passenger numbers.”

The number of school children previously catching the bus between Balaklava and Adelaide was between 30 to 40 but dropped to four recently.

“That used to keep the run viable but without those kids, it is not viable

Nick Champion, Federal Member for Wakefield, has urged local child care providers to apply for grants under a $300 million Federal Government Fund that will boost the wages of early childhood educators.

Mr Champion said early childhood educators in Wakefield will soon start receiving better wages through the Early Years Quality Fund.

Early Childhood and Child Care

Minister, Kate Ellis, recently released the funding guidelines.

Grants opened on July 23 and applications will be assessed on an ongoing basis.

“This fund will deliver real increases to wages and help will go some way to recognising the professionalism and qualifications of this highly valued workforce,” Mr Champion said.

TWO “makeovers” of popular playgrounds in the District Council of Mallala were completed just in time for young residents to put them to the test over the July school holidays.

DCM recently spent $60,000 upgrading the playgrounds in Parham and Mallala, and DCM strategic infrastructure coordinator, Paul Kleghorn, said both upgrades had received positive feedback.

“The new play equipment is an addition to the existing playground, thus making it even more attractive to families,” Paul said.

“The District Council of Mallala encourages the community to inspect and

Bec O’Brien reports: enjoy the new facilities.”

The $30,000 upgrade to the Mallala Oval playground included a new fourmetre activity net, the removal of the old soft-fall edging, which was replaced with a new recycled rubber compound, and new bark chip soft-fall.

The $30,000 dollar upgrade to the Parham Esplanade playground featured new activity play equipment including a slide, climbing ladder, rocky ramble, balance beam, twisted challenge

ladder, fire pole and a three-metre track ride.

The project also saw the old soft-fall and edging replaced with new recycled rubber compound edging and soft-fall bark chips.

Mallala ward councilor, Yvonne Howard, said the community had wanted the upgrade and local children would get much benefit out of the new equipment.

“This was definitely needed,” Cr Howard said.

“It’s been asked for in the community (and) will hopefully appeal to those kids who like to climb the trees.”

Hall to feature at Balaklava Cup launch AS one of the few true racing characters remaining in a politically correct and sociallyconscious world, former jockey, Greg Hall, stands out as one of the more entertaining guest speakers doing the rounds today.

Hall, who guided Subzero to the 1992 Melbourne Cup and famously ran second to Might and Power aboard Doriemus in 1997, will be attending the 2013 Balaklava Cup Launch at the Lakes Resort Hotel on Friday.

Aside from the Cup win, his major triumphs are two Victoria Derbys, two prestigious Golden Slipper Stakes and a Cox Plate.

Hall still spends much of his time trackside, particularly in corporate and media gigs during the spring.

He is also in businesses with legendary AFL coach and fellow thoroughbred racing enthusiast, Kevin Sheedy, running knowyourhorse.com.au, a communication agency for horse owners and trainers.

Les Pearson reports: Hall’s 1997 Cup ride aboard Doriemus remains in racing folklore after he genuinely believed he had won and celebrated with gusto after crossing the line, only to be pipped by a nose in the photo finish.

Few second place winners of the marquee race are ever remembered but that particular race certainly continues to be a talking point today.

“I’ve got some great mileage out of that second placed ride,” Hall laughed.

“Looking back on it, I had done well to win one and get so close to a second win.”

While a great thinking hoop, Hall is also extremely quickwitted off the track and retains a stellar sense of humour.

“A journo said to me one day you’ve won the Brisbane Cup, Sydney Cup, Melbourne Cup, and Adelaide Cup, but not a

Greg Hall Caulfield Cup and I just told him ‘I’m not interested in suburbs, mate’,” Hall quipped.

He speaks with fondness about his racing past and is armed with a swag of humour-

ous tales from years gone by.

His son, Nick, is also a jockey and currently rides most meets in Victoria.

Hall said Nick often tells him he’s out of the loop and knows little about modern racing.

It’s a comment Greg takes some light-hearted exception to.

“I do still think of making a comeback, believe it or not,” Hall said.

“I would then kick Nick’s little butt in, I would.

“It would take me a while to get fit again though, it’s so hard to get fit enough to be a jockey and I don’t think a lot of people realise that.”

Despite being born in Adelaide, Hall has never been to the Balaklava Cup, to be raced on Wednesday, September 4 this year, although he showed strong interest should he get an invitation following the cup launch.

The launch will also feature former jockey, Malcolm Johnston and comedian, Peter Dee.

Pop! There’s another shop Are you sick of seeing empty shops around the town?

A group of young local businesswomen has got things popping up around the town in a bid to reverse the “empty shop syndrome.”

Businesswomen, Purdie Barr, Roshanna Bull, Kirstyn Rundle and Kelly Leach are launching a range of Pop Up shops called, “Pop Up on the Plains,” on Saturday, August 3, from 10am to 4pm, in the former Parke Lane Variety store in Balaklava.

So what is a Pop Up shop?

It is a temporary shop where smaller businesses can set up their own ‘mini-shop’ within those premises.

“The idea is to help fill empty retail space, while at the same time, helping startup businesses, home-based businesses and entrepeneurs who don’t have a shop front,

to get their name out there,” said Purdie.

“It’s a win-win concept for everyone, and can give locals another reason to shop locally, which will make the whole community better off.”

Ten small businesses, including artists, designers, bakers and other professionals, will set up their own three-metre square shop within the George Street shop.

“There are lots of home based businesses in our local area that many people don’t know about,” said Purdie.

The group aims to re-open the store for one day events on Fridays September 6 and October 4, with different businesses present each time.

It is hoped this will be a long term event, but will depend on the success of the three month trial.

Balaklava Pop up shop founders, Purdie Barr, Kirstyn Rundle, Roshanna Bull are ready for business.

Wealth of knowledge gone as local historian passes Margaret Gleeson (nee Stephens) was born in Stepney to Henry and Florence, and had an older sister, Mary.

She attended school at St Mary’s Convent in Norwood and completed her Intermediate Certificate before completing her Leaving Certificate at Unley High School.

Margaret commenced a 12 month training course at Teacher’s College and was the youngest in her group. Prior to the 12 months being completed, Margaret was one of six students asked to go teaching before finishing the course due to a teacher shortage.

In 1938, Margaret was appointed to Bowillia School, which was built on land owned

by Bill Gleeson.

She boarded firstly with the Lang family, and then with Jack Gleeson and his family.

It was through a visit to Jack’s mother where Margaret met her future husband, (and Jack’s brother), Leo, who was operating the family farm. They married in October 1939 and settled on the farm, where Margaret embraced country life. They loved attending dances, including the square dance in the Peace Hall at Mount Templeton.

Margaret was not only a good dancer, but a good singer who enjoyed music, and in recent times, was often found with an Andre Rieu CD or DVD playing in her home.

As was the norm in the early days, Margaret had to give up her career once she got married.

In 1941, Margaret and Leo’s first child,

= OBITUARY Margaret Ipsa Gleeson, OAM 30/4/1918 – 28/6/2013

Judith, arrived, followed by Andrew in 1950, and twins Margaret Anne (known as Anne) and Peter in 1956. Later that year, the family moved into a new home in Balaklava, and Leo commuted to the farm.

Margaret loved all types of sewing related crafts, and was a talented dressmaker.

Due to her love of craft and needlework, Margaret joined the CWA, where she made lifelong friends, and remained an active member for 73 years, both at local and regional levels.

Margaret was involved in school committees for every local school her children attended, and was also on the Scouts parents committee.

Being ahead of her time, Margaret stood for council in 1967 for the first time and won, sitting for two two-year terms. This was a huge feat for that era, as the idea of a woman entering into the area of Local Government was virtually unheard of, and was seen as radical and revolutionary.

Two years later, Margaret became a JP (Justice of the Peace), a position she held for 44 years.

At the next council elections in 1971, Margaret was beaten. However she was not discouraged and stood again in 1972 to win the position of Chair by just one vote. She was a member of council for 18 years, and also had an active involvement in Local Government Women’s Association.

Margaret had also returned to Balaklava Primary School as teacher/ librarian by this time. In 1981, Margaret received an Order of Australia.

Two years later, the councils of Owen, Port Wakefield and Balaklava amalgamated and Margaret was elected as the first Chair of the new Wakefield Plains Council.

Leo became very ill, so in 1985, Margaret did not renominate for council or stand for election as first Mayor. Leo passed away in 1992 at Daw Park Repatriation Hospital.

After his passing, Margaret was a Torchbearer for Legacy.

Margaret was heavily involved with the Catholic Church Diocesan Council, attending meetings in Adelaide, and also spent 23 years on the Balaklava Hospital Board.

In 1991, the honour of SA Senior Citizen of

the Year was awarded to Margaret. That year, she joined the board for the Council on the Ageing, and later received an Honorary Life Membership. She also received a Certificate of Appreciation for a stellar 25 years as a board member of Mill Court, 10 as Chairperson.

Growing older didn’t stop Margaret, as in 1999, she received a Commonwealth Recognition Award for Senior Australian’s Year of Older Persons Ambassador, and the following year, received Recognition of Service to the District by the Balaklava Minister’s Fraternal.

In 2012, one of the display rooms at the Museum was named in Margaret’s honour, much to her delight, recognising her many years of dedication and service. Margaret was also involved with National Trust, and was a founding Member of the Balaklava Historical Society.

Margaret’s health wasn’t the best in recent years, and she eventually left Balaklava and moved to Adelaide. She still kept up her love of reading, especially murder mystery stories.

On June 28, 2013, Margaret passed away, leaving a wealth of knowledge behind.

Margaret was involved in the development of Balaklava’s history book titled, “Change and Challenge,” which was produced for the centenary of the township. “Change and Challenge” not only describes Balaklava, but Margaret, who saw, and made, many changes in her lifetime, and embraced the challenges she faced along the way.

Where is pride in town?

I cannot believe this Wakefield Regional Council. They seem to have no pride in the town of Balaklava with main entry and exit roads ( ie Railway terrace being perhaps the worst in SA.) We then have them stopping ratepayers from asking questions at the meetings, councillors who don’t respond for months when asked to look into problems, a CEO who doesn’t have an email address listed on the website and an infrastructure manager who refuses to answer emails.

It appears east of the railway line doesn’t exist as far as maintenance goes, but that changes when it is time to collect rates.

There is one street light just over the railway line and then nothing this side of Dunn’s road even though it is a residential area. No roadside drainage due to a temporary fix 14 months ago blocking water drainage.No pathways for pedestrians to walk on without tripping over.

Why are we paying rates at all???

Oh yes, that’s right. We get some rubbish bins picked up!

The music rolls on 17th Balaklava Eisteddfod hits town again next week

LIBERAL Candidate for Wakefield, Tom Zorich, pictured with Meredith Tiller during a recent visit to Balaklava.

Zorich slams federal FBT cuts LIBERAL Candidate for Wakefield, Tom Zorich, claims the Federal Government’s mismanagement and lack of understanding of business has never been more evident than it is right now, under the leadership of Kevin Rudd.

Mr Zorich said the overhaul of the Fringe Benefits Tax has the potential to kill off Holden at Elizabeth and was “horrified” at what the government is proposing.

“Peak automotive bodies, industry groups, manufacturers and business organisations are all alarmed at Labor’s plans and their impact on local manufacturers like Holden,” he said.

“Business SA say up to 320,000 people could be impacted by this change including thousands in Wakefield, yet (Federal Member for Wakefield) Nick Champion is just letting it happen.”

Mr Zorich said the Liberal Party had a proven track record with the car industry.

He claimed the car industry, under the previous Howard Liberal Government, saw employment rise by 22 per cent, vehicle production increase by eight per cent, exports lift by 174 per cent, turnover rise by 73 per cent, labour productivity increase by 22 per cent and research and development lift by 182 per cent.

“Labor just looks for band aid solutions and short term political fixes that can’t be sustained and this is proof,” Mr Zorich said.

“They are making policy on the fly and not considering the full implications of their decisions.”

He believed Wakefield already had one of the highest levels of unemployment in the country, with youth unemployment above 44 per cent.

“Yet again, it will be families in electorates like Wakefield that will pay for the consequences of Kevin Rudd’s policy on the run.

“People like nurses, teachers, call centre operators and public servants will see an average $1,400 a year tax hike because Mr Rudd has run out of money.”

Eisteddfod convenor, Bronny Cottle, previews a big weekend ahead...

High schools, and Horizon Christian School, compete against stiff opposition from around the state.

Last year, a band from Rostrevor College featured a lad who had been a finalist in “Australia’s Got Talent”.

If you would like something not quite so loud, visit the Uniting Church from 9.20am, where a range of choirs will enthral you.

In contemporary vocal ensemble, former locals Jed Rowland and Hillivi Harrison, will be back to compete against the formidable Chloe Bremner, Jasmine Garcia and Leah Harford.

Jed studies guitar at university and will be playing that in the instrumental open solo section.

Their performances are certain to astound you.

Federal grant will assist Watervale memorial upgrade Mount Horrocks Historical Society and Trinity College South at Evanston South, received in total $4,471 in funding under the Federal government’s Saluting Their Service grants program.

Federal Wakefield MP, Nick Champion, said the funding would go towards restoring and reinstating the Memorial Arch and Gates to the entrance of Watervale Soldier ’s Memorial Recreation Park, and resources for Trinity students to complete artwork depicting “the ANZAC spirit.”

“I congratulate Mount Horrocks Historical Society and Trinity College South for their hard work in ensuring the contribution of Australian Defence Force members, past and present, is recognised and remembered,” Mr Champion said.

The society and college are among 131 funding recipients from the latest round of Saluting

Their Service grants, with more than $310,000 being allocated to community and ex-service organisations around Australia.

The Saluting Their Service program assists community and exservice organisations to restore wartime memorabilia, install commemorative plaques, upgrade the local roll of honour or improve security at existing memorials, amongst other activities.

Local community and ex-service organisations interested in applying for future grant funding rounds should visit www.dva.gov.au/grants or call 133 254 (for metropolitan callers) or 1800 555 254 (for non metropolitan callers).

Funding for projects commemorating the First World War will now be available under the Anzac Centenary Local Grants Program. Application forms for this program can be found at www.anzaccentenary. gov.au

Controlling feral cats

The feral cat has been in Australia since European settlement, and may have arrived as early as the 17th century with Dutch shipwrecks. By the 1850s, feral cat colonies had become established in the wild, and intentional releases were made in the late 1800s, in the hope that cats would control rabbits, rats and mice. Feral cats are now found in all habitats except the wettest rainforests and have contributed to the disappearance of many native animals.

Predation by feral cats is listed as a key threatening process under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. Under this Act, the Australian Government, in consultation with the states and territories, has developed the Threat abatement plan for predation of feral cats.

The threat abatement plan aims to reduce the impact of feral cats on native wildlife by: preventing feral cats occupying new areas; promoting the maintenance and recovery of native species that are affected by feral cat predation, and; improving the knowledge and understanding of feral cat impacts and interactions with other species.

High School Ag teacher, Sue Pratt, Karren Raper, of TAFE, and David Hutchinson, of Barossa Lower North Futures, with Craig Feutrill, of Rural Skills Australia the driving force, who organised a diverse and interesting program for the students.

“Aim of the program is to give students an insight into which ag pathway to take, so all sites we visited provided hands-on experiences for the students, which helped them gain a clear understanding of

the work involved,” said Sue. The students visited sites including Roseworthy College, The Waite, Nangkita Dairy, Swanport Harvest Lettuces, Horwood Bagshaw at Mannum, Banrock Station, citrus, onion and carrot producers, Yalumba Nursery, and Biological Services at Loxton, a company which produces predator insects for use in horticulture.

THE LIFE AND TIMES OF STAN ROWETT

H

ave you wondered who makes the holes in the Gilbert Valley Lions donuts? That would be member, Stan Rowett, who at 95 years of age and after 42 years in Lions, still does his bit for the club and his community.

After 95 years of activity, here is just a snapshot of Stan’s life – from farming and the war, to football and lawn bowls.

The Rowett name is synonymous with Marrabel, but how did this eventuate? Stan is a fifth generation Rowett in the area, after his great-greatgrandfather emigrated from Cornwall, England, to South Australia in 1847.

The family has owned hotels at Kapunda and Point Pass, and farming land at Marrabel.

Stan was born on February 21, 1918 at Riverton in the local doctor’s surgery, years before the hospital was built.

His parents were Harold and Beatrice, and his siblings Lance, Audrey and Pattie. He went to school by horse and buggy, to Marrabel, a one teacher school with “a very strict teacher.”

When he finished primary schooling, Stan’s parents considered sending him to boarding school, but as it was at the height of the great depression of 1932, the cost was too high, so he stayed home.

“My mother wanted me to continue secondary schooling, but my father wanted me to help him on the farm, which would save him paying a workman one pound, which was a lot of money in those days,” said Stan.

“I was keen to stay home because I thought if I worked on the farm, I could wear long trousers instead of shorts, which would make me a man,” he laughed.

Stan’s father won that debate, and Stan stayed home on the farm.

However in those days, all work was done manually, with the help of horses instead of machinery.

“We had to get up at 4.30am to have the horses harnessed, fed and watered and ready to work by daybreak, and then walk three and a half miles to get to the paddock to work.”

“It was very tough work, and there was no arguing, as was typical of that generation.”

“At that time, dad had no interest in sheep.

We grew feed (mainly wheat and oats) for the horses, which were dad’s first priority, then cows, then lastly sheep.”

“After the war, when there was a world wool shortage, wool was worth “one pound for a pound,” so dad became interested in sheep then.

We had mainly cross breds, but later on I changed to Merinos.”

While his father wouldn’t have a tractor on the place as he said it was cheaper to run horses, the family purchased their first car in 1927, a big black Buick. And in 1934 the family got a phone!

In 1934, the start of something big happened

www.plainsproducer.com.au

UP CLOSE with Louise Michael – the first Marrabel rodeo. The local tennis club wanted money for new courts and some men had seen some lads messing around riding steers, and thought “Why not turn this into a fundraiser?”

And that they did, raising funds for the courts, with lights, and the rodeo was born. The organisers now run a bull ride and rodeo, with profits benefitting local community groups since that time.

Stan has been president and secretary of the rodeo committee, and has only ever missed going to a rodeo when he was in the war.

When Stan was about 11, his father contracted measles. It was harvest time so there was no time to lose. Stan and his youngest brother, Lance, had to manually harvest the crop on the Big E harvester.

n STAN receives the Lions International Melville Jones award from Gilbert Valley Lions president, John Lloyd.

Stan sat at the top of the wheel box and drove the horse team, while Lance sat in between the horse team and box on a little seat and steered the box wheel.

There were other men employed to harvest too, so when the boys filled the box with grain, they had to stop and the other men would bag the grain out.

“Usually dad would dump the bags for us, and we had to sew them up. There couldn’t be any loose seams as the grain would fall out while

n STAN Rowett with wife Doss and the book Stan compiled on the history o being delivered.” How lucky are we with air conditioning now?

“I remember the worst heat wave in 1939 – we had 10 days straight of 38 to 46 degrees.”

“We had no air conditioning or refrigerators, and open cab harvesters. We poured water on the verandah and slept on that just trying to get cool,” he said. Stan recalls the worst job was carting straw – it was hard to stack, blew around, and often there were snakes in it!

Sunday was always rest day, and there was no time for playing sports until Stan reached his late teens.

He played cricket for Marrabel and was an opening batsman and wicketkeeper.

“Dad was the President of the Marrabel Football Club (MFC) so we would then have Saturday afternoons off.” At 17, Stan couldn’t get a game with MFC as the local farmers’ workmen played instead, so Stan played for Julia/Pt Pass, but made the MFC team the following year.

“I had my best year in 1940, when I captained the premiership team and won best and fairest in the club, but after the war, my best playing days were over.” However, after the war, Stan did play and captain the team again, and also became president of the club.

Stan joined the army in 1941 at Gawler as a signaller in the Light Horse Brigade.

“We used flags and mirrors to signal.”

In 1942, Stan enlisted as a soldier. At this time, the army decided fighting on horseback was outdated and the Gawler branch became known as the 9th Armed Division, and Stan trained in army tanks.

“Due to little head room in the tanks, we had to wear berets instead of hats, but my hair came

out in clumps. So that’s my excuse for bein on top,” he laughed.

The year 1942 was a special one as he m Doss (Dorothea) Maddern from Auburn, parents ran the local store.

The pair had met five years earlier at a h carnival dance at Saddleworth.

Ironically, it was when he was going married, Stan found out his real name wasn “My parents had named me after two re “Cecil Stanley,” but then decided there wo two Cecil Rowetts, so called me Stan, but to change my birth certificate.”

After it final leave, Stan’s training un about to head off to New Guinea but St word he was wanted in Darwin.

Stan worked in the intelligence sectio ciphering and intercepting messages fro Japanese. “We would pick up a certain frequency and tap into it for information.

It was in the war where Stan first sli vertebrae in his back, unloading fuel dru Stan was about to be sent to the Philip when he got word the war was over.

“I’d been sent back to camp in Indooro (Qld) and we headed straight into Brisbane everyone was in the streets excitedly wav crying for lost loved ones. I felt so sorry fo people,” he said.

While Stan was in Darwin, Doss, w been living in Adelaide, had given birth t first child Pauline.

used teams of eight to 10 horses, but when Stan returned home, he found a tractor had been purchased –a Caterpillar!

Harold soon retired and gave Stan and Lance 320 acres each, which they sharefarmed with their father. The boys changed lots of things, and eventually bought more land, which didn’t please their father much!

Stan volunteered as a Fire Control Officer for the local CFS unit, which consisted of locals on a firetruck with eight drums of water.

“The first truck to get there had to load the drums and hand pump on and head to the fire.

It was at a fire at Morgan, tipping drums over, where I hurt my back again.”

Stand had to have an operation on his back which put him out of action for 12 months.

Doss kept busy milking cows and selling the milk to Golden North. Initially Stan kept milking cows, and kept pigs and chooks, but later concentrated on cropping wheat, oats and barley.

“Farming methods have improved so much nowadays, I would have to start learning again if I was farming now.”

Stan started playing lawn bowls in 1948 for Marrabel, but after the team went into recess, he moved to Saddleworth, where he played until 2011. He was president of both Marrabel and Saddleworth Bowling Clubs, Secretary of Marrabel Bowling Club, and also president of the Past President’s Association.

He was awarded Life Membership of Saddleworth Bowling Club.

And in his spare time, Stan was secretary of the Marrabel Primary School’s Governing Council.

Due to his work with Legacy over more than 20 years, the RSL awarded Stan life membership.

Plains Producer, Wednesday July 24, 2013

Stan was also a charter member of Gilbert Valley Lions Club, and even though a less active member now, has been involved for 42 years.

He has received the highest Lions award, the Melville Jones Award, for his tireless work with Lions.

In 1950, Stan studied lucerne growing in his area. He trialled it and was successful, and after eight years, he almost gave all other cropping away and grew lucerne.

Stan was the first person to recognise bees were vital to pollinate lucerne. While not conducive to their honey production, Stan paid beekeepers to put hives in the lucerne.

Stan joined the SA Seed Producers Association (SASPA), set up by south-east growers, and was the only northern areas member on it.

The group marketed its own seed, selling lucerne and clover seed around Australia and the world, and Stan was a director for 19 years.

Due to his discovery of bee pollination, Stan was awarded Life Membership of the SASPA. It has changed names, but the SA Seed Growers Co-Op is still going now.

Not content with being idle, Stan was a councillor on the Saddleworth/Auburn Council for 19 years, including a stint as chairman While he held that position, the rodeo committee had decided to write a book about Curio, Australia’s most famous buck jumper, and make a Rodeo Hall of Fame.

Stan enlisted the help of former Hanson teacher, and rodeo announcer for 25 years, Fred Hausler, to write of Curio and the rodeo history.

But Fred made a deal Stan had to write the history of Marrabel and districts. After a bad day “at the office,” aka the council, Stan decided it was one or the other – the council or the book.

He chose the book, retired from the council, and with the help of his “secretary”, Doss, and two years of research and hard work, the book was finally completed and launched in 1987.

The book is in its second print now and has sold 11,000 copies.

“The book was a worthwhile exercise and has been very handy for people to check up on their ancestors.”

Stan and Doss retired from the farm in 1980 and moved to Saddleworth. But Stan’s work didn’t stop there. He picked seeds and propagated 6000 trees and planted them in rocky areas on the farm, which his sons were working.

He still pots and grows seeds now, but “my planting days are over now.”

When Stan and Doss moved into the Riverton Hospital last year, Stan didn’t waste any time tidying up the gardens, and made seven raised garden beds from scrap farm materials so people in wheelchairs can grow plants and weed gardens.

Stan is also a JP and at one stage, was asked to be a “temporary coroner” for the local policeman!

“I often asked myself why I didn’t ask my father things, or what he thought of things, so I decided I should have a record for my children and grandchildren.”

From a hard working boy in shorts, to “Stan the Man” in trousers, Stan is a modest and outstanding gentleman, not only of our time, but a time gone by.

Luisa’s African learning safari Former Two Wells girl, Luisa Panetta, has returned from her veterinary trip to South Africa with a strengthened passion to be part of wildlife medicine and conservation.

The trip, organised by the University of Adelaide, was the first of its kind, with Luisa’s veterinary group the first group from Roseworthy College to embark on the trip.

“It was a once in a lifetime opportunity for me, and I gained practical skills in wildlife medicine in the field, and worked with the most amazing group of people,” said Luisa.

There were many highlights for Luisa, but also some low points as she saw first hand, the result of rhino poaching. ”We saw two rhinos which had been shot for their horns.

Fortunately we could treat their wounds, and dehorned them which will hopefully deter the poachers.”

Dehorning is done routinely by veterinarians in South Africa to deter poachers from killing rhinos.

Poaching of black and white rhinos is of major concern and although Luisa had heard and read about it, she found the firsthand experience very confronting.

There were some scary moments too, including handling a black mamba snake, considered

Louise Michael reports: Africa’s largest venomous snake.

“It’s not the number one most poisonous in Africa, but it’s up there, and that experience would be near the top of the most scariest things I have done!”

The group also ventured on field trips including a day trip to the most exciting African safari destination, Kruger National Park where they saw the “big 5” – elephant, lion, rhino, leopard and buffalo.

“I enjoyed the field trips and even got to ride an elephant!”

“Capturing giraffes was the best part of the trip. It involved a vet darting a giraffe from a helicopter, with a great team of well trained people on the ground who would catch the giraffe using ropes to guide it safely into sternal recumbency (that means to a lying down position,) and then it was translocated to another property,” said Luisa.

The Roseworthy veterinary group learnt about different anaesthetic protocols used in different species, including giraffe, impala, white rhinos and water buffalo.

“I learnt you have to anticipate and be ready for the unexpected, because wild animals are ‘wild’ and you just have to adapt.” www.plainsproducer.com.au

The Mid North SAPSASA district entered a boy’s and a girl’s team in the recent SAPSASA State Soccer Carnival held at Barrett Reserve, West Beach.

Ron Shipp from Clare took on the role of coaching the boys, and SAPSASA District Convenor, Gus Wenzel, managed and encouraged the girls.

This year there was a core of about five or six boys who play soccer regularly in the Barossa and Adelaide Plains areas.

This was evident, as, along with Ron’s knowledge, the boys combined well and although a win eluded them there were no blowout games and they played two very creditable draws, the last to a team way above them on the list.

The boys gelled as a team and displayed great team and leadership skills throughout the tournament.

The girls played some incredible soccer during the week, unfortunately also without a win.

However in the eight games played, they drew on five occasions thus losing only three games for the week and conceding only five goals for the tournament.

The most outstanding game was against the Lower South East who was undefeated for the week.

The Mid North played them on the Wednesday and well into the second half were leading 1-0, and it was only due to the experience of the Lower South East girls (who play soccer regularly), that Mid North eventually lost the game 2-1.

This game was fantastic and the girls were so proud of what they had achieved.

No longer were there the 10-0 losing games.

They combined so well as a team, supported each other

without exception and showed great leadership qualities.

They were great listeners and learners. They were a fantastic group of girls who were excellent ambassadors for their families, school and the Mid North district.

Although soccer does not have a high profile in the Mid North, there are a number of boys in particular who play regularly.

However, what soccer does is provide an opportunity for primary school students to learn and develop through sport.

To have that opportunity is just great and to all the students who tried out and were selected in the Mid North teams, congratulations – you did everyone proud.

To all the parents who supported the program with transport and accommodation – a big thank you also.

– Gus Wenzel, coach

SPORT v Football

Peckers’ devastating loss REPORT: Les Pearson BALAKLAVA’S season remains on tenterhooks after a heart-breaking five-point loss to Hamley Bridge on a slippery surface at Hamley Bridge on Saturday.

Usually, football matches are iced towards the latter stages of the game but a burst of hail in the first quarter cooled an otherwise hot contest.

“I can’t recall too many games that started with a downpour of hail,” Hamley Bridge coach, Ash Barnett said.

In a low-scoring affair, first quarter goals to Craig Taylor and Stuart Gregory helped Hamley off to a reasonable start but majors to Jason McPharlin and a stunning snap from Aaron Cocks from the boundary line were timely answers for the Peckers.

Josh Butterfield bobbed up for his first major in the second term and when Brenton Lamond marked and goaled from a sprayed Tate Michael set shot, Balaklava had a handy two-goal lead at the main break.

Butterfield’s second goal, a handy running finish from 35 metres, put the Peckers further in front but Kirk Heberle’s rank mongrel from the paint floated through with the breeze and Ash Natt closed the gap to one point on the three-quarter time siren.

Stuart Gregory then bobbed up halfway through the last quarter with a hurried snap sneaking through and giving the Bombers the lead.

Despite continued pressure on the Hamley defence, Balaklava could not score the match-winner, several opportunities going begging.

Barnett said his team ground out the win well, despite trailing most of the day.

“Our persistence was good, we certainly didn’t drop off,” he said.

“We knew it would be a close game in those conditions so if we kept at it, we could get there.”

Barnett praised his team’s miserly defence, with great efforts from Nathan Flynn, Danny Ellis and Craig Young.

“Flynn has probably been our most consistent player this season,” he said.

“Danny Ellis was good, Dale Norman was slightly underdone but held his own and you always know what you’re going to get from Craig Young.

“We’ve got eight guys that float through there and they’ve been a big cornerstone of ours this year.”

A gutsy final term from Malcolm Greenwood was a big factor around the continuous stoppages, along with Ryan Appleton.

“Greenwood and Appleton dragged us over the line in the end,” Barnett said.

“We got him (Greenwood) to play onball and as a strong onballer, he’s like a junkyard dog, once he’s off the leash, he’s hard to stop.

“His best footy is still ahead of him.

“A few of Balaklava’s younger guys handled the ball well, like Mitch Daniel and Jason McPharlin, particularly in the first half.”

Ash Natt’s switch from defence to the forward line also helped in the win.

“I know he can go forward but he likes being down back a bit more,” Barnett said.

Balaklava coach, Stuart Lamond, believed his team had done enough to win but the result went the other way.

“It’s just one of those things, we had our chances in the last quarter to put us back in front but didn’t make the most of them,” he said.

“I was pretty happy with the effort from our boys and the intent was there but at the end of the day, they took their opportunity in the last quarter.

“I thought we came out hard and it wasn’t ideal conditions for forwards but we adjusted to the conditions pretty well.

“All credit to them though, they came out on top in the end.”

Butterfield’s clean finishing stood out in Balaklava’s forward line after Jonathon Brice left the field early.

“Josh was a bit of a surprise for us to come on and fill that void for us,” Lamond said.

“He played a lot of his junior footy up there and certainly made use of his opportunities.”

Mitch Daniel was arguably Balaklava’s best defender along with Luke Guy, while Brad Michael stood out on his duel with Craig Taylor.

Hayden Walker rucked superbly all day while Brenton Lamond showed a clean pair of hands up forward.

Justin Michael and Todd McPharlin put in a typical gritty display in the mud.

“His (McPharlin’s) form has been pretty good in the past few weeks in those wet conditions,” Lamond said.

“Jason McPharlin was also handy on his wing again.”

Magpies blow Tigers away • From back page “It might have been right, it might have been wrong, both umpires were just going on what they had seen,” White said.

Conversely, Lubcke was extremely satisfied with his team’s second half, sealing the game with a six-goal to one final term.

“In the mid section of the quarter I think we did alright,” he said.

Forwards Scott Hahn and Angus Bruggemann kicked three goals each, while Brian Montgomery booted two for the Magpies.

Midfielder Dale King added three majors of his own, Ben Parish kicked two after being swung forward from defence and wingman, Brad Hardie, also contributed with two in a great spread of goal kickers, an ingredient inherent in premiership winning football teams, according to Lubcke.

“That’s why we’ve set it up that way,” he said.

“Dale chipped in with a few and Brad did as well from the wing, they’re the bonus ones you need so you don’t just rely on your forwards as well.

“That’s what we want, to share it around.”

He praised his team’s defensive efforts, solid players including Jason Earl and rookie, Jake Birchmore.

“It was excellent and one of

the keys we’ve had this year,” Lubcke said.

“We put Birchmore in defence as a bit of a different role as he had spent most of his juniors as an onballer and forward.

“He’s cutting in at the right times and that’s what you want as a club, your kids coming on and giving you that extra depth and X-factor to share the workload.”

White was left annoyed with the eight-goal margin as he felt it did his side little justice.

“They put on a pretty good patch in the middle of the last quarter, which opened up their break.

“It’s definitely frustrating because at our best, we’re right up there.

“If you take 20 minutes out of the game, 10 before half time and 10 in the last quarter, it was a pretty even game.

“Having said that, they played the better footy.

“They would be the benchmark from what we’ve seen.”

For whatever reason, the Tigers keep fading out of matches.

“Probably not having a settled side and missing one or two key players is part of that,” White said.

“On Saturday, it was probably one of our strongest squads we’ve put on the park this year and that was with six unavailable, although four of those we won’t see for the rest of the year.”

Midfielder, Mikey Brown, made a welcome return to the side after missing last week.

“He had a really good first month of the season but has only trained twice since due to work commitments but he looked good, with his tenacity through the middle of the ground,” White said.

Koby Ettridge kicked four goals, while Brad Shimmin, Heath Pym, Adam Mansfield and Kirk Kirvan were also right up there in the Tigers’ best.

“Kirk has been really good for a bulk of the season but he’s been outstanding in the last month,” White said.

Injuries to Simon Schulz (knee) and Ben Starr (heavy knock) will also be of concern to the United camp.

For Mallala, Ben Martin damaged ligaments in his knee and possibly his Achilles too, putting his season in doubt, while the rest of the team has earned an important break.

“I’m really happy with that because of the wet weather we’ve played in and the things the lads have been through recently,” Lubcke said.

“I thought we could have had a bit of a lull on Saturday after the emotions of the past few weeks.

“I couldn’t be prouder of the guys for what they’ve achieved and getting through what’s been thrown at them for the month of July.”

Schahinger shines in SANFL debut • From back page “He was second best in our tackle count and we were really pleased with his second efforts.”

Schahinger presented to North Adelaide at the start of the 2012 preseason.

He played 32 reserves games before getting a league berth and spent a lot of time working with club ruck coach, Michael Redden, on positioning and basic ruck work.

“His development has definitely been really good over the last 18 months,” Wintle said.

Schahinger’s outstanding debut could now put some pressure on the tall stocks at the club such as fellow tall, the injured Daniel Stewart, if he follows up with more solid form.

“It will depend on a few things like weather and form but when James or

Daniel come back, it will give us the possibility of playing two genuine ruckmen,” Wintle said.

“At the moment, Justin is back up to James but there is still time for Justin to become the number one ruckman at the club and his performance on the weekend shows he isn’t too far away.

“I think being in the club for 18 months has enabled him to get into a structured weights program, which has helped his strength and power immensely.

“With another preseason under his belt, I think he definitely has plenty of scope to improve further.

“Another thing we were rapt with was some players who come down and don’t make it within four or five games get pressured to go back to their home clubs but he’s stuck it out and it has paid big dividends.”

Rams give Eagles a hiding ELEVEN goals from Virginia’s power forward, Brendon Niklaus, added a sense of comprehensiveness to his team’s 95-point hiding of Hummocks-Watchman Eagles at Lochiel on Saturday.

The Rams continually spotted up Niklaus on the lead, who didn’t disappoint when shooting for goal.

“He got some easy ones but when he gets an opportunity, he doesn’t miss,” HWE coach, David Cluse said.

“Tom Forrest probably beat him in most of the 50/50s but their delivery to him was pretty good.”

Virginia coach, Joss DenEngelse, said it was handy to have the confidence in the key forward to get the job done.

“Having Brendon up there, you know if he gets the ball in his hands we won’t miss,” he said.

Niklaus now has 74 goals for the season with four matches to play.

It was the Eagles who got off to a flying start but late goals to Virginia helped build a three-goal lead at the first break, followed up by another late flurry in the second quarter.

“We were up and running in the first quarter but they scored three goals from really low percentage shots, while we missed a few easier ones from within the 45m arc,”

Final score VIRGINIA 24.12 (156) d HW EAGLES 8.13 (61) Best: HW Eagles - A.Turrell, L.O’Donohue, J.Hatcher, T.Forrest, J.Cicolella, S.Tregenza Virginia - B.Niklaus, M.Young, B.Russel, C.Howell, C.Stronach, P.Mylonopoulos

Cluse said.

“They got a burst of goals just before half time, where they kicked really truly.”

While there was only three scoring shots separating the two teams, the Rams had converted 12 goals from 14 attempts to HWE’s five from 11.

The second half proved similar to the first, an eightgoal final term blowing the margin out beyond 90 points.

It was the perfect response from a team spanked

by Hamley Bridge the week before.

“During the week we worked on a few things that we had worked on in November, December and January, which we had gone away from in recent weeks,” DenEngelse said.

“We tried to use Hummocks to work that game plan back in.

“Bringing the ball out of defence had been an issue with too many turnovers, which was hurting us.

“We worked on getting

the guys with good skills in defence to get the ball in their hands to execute their skills from the backline going forward.”

Ben Russell and captain, Caleb Howell, were solid contributors for the Rams, while Matthew Young picked up his form after having a quiet one last week.

“He owed us a bit from last week, although he was a bit crook last week too, which wouldn’t have helped him,” DenEngelse said.

“But he was excellent.

“I think he walks out the door smiling when it’s raining and wet like that.”

A number of HWE errors contributed to Virginia goals, yet again hurting Cluse’s side.

“Virginia scored a lot of end to end goals and our skill errors killed us again,” he said.

“Skill execution has probably been our main issue this year.”

Recruits Adam Turrell, Leigh O’Donohue and Jack Hatcher were in the Eagles’ top three best players, fol-

lowed by Forrest and Justin Cicolella, who continued to rack up clearances.

“Adam was very good in the ruck,” Cluse said.

“He is well under-sized but he plays it so well and gives our midfielders first use.

“We probably need one big forward and one big defender, also a runner or two on the wing and half back.

“All the good teams have a guy they can free up across half back who can distribute the ball well.

“So, that would definitely be on my wishlist, along with a true wingman who could provide plenty of run and carry.

“It was close to the strongest team we’ve had this year with about eight guys who could play A grade still unavailable.”

Virginia had 44 inside 50s to HWE’s 38.

“They were much more effective with them,” Cluse said.

The Rams also snuck out the back on several occasions to get easy goals.

“It’s frustrating from a coach’s point of view when you tell players not to let their opponents get out the back of a contest,” Cluse said.

“It’s disappointing to get beaten like that but even more so as we’ve been unable to match it with the big boys at the moment.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Championships develop country footballers

JAMES Rundle, United Tigers, lines up for goal, during Saturday’s reserves match at home, against Mallala.

Plains Producer, Wednesday July 24, 2013

Congratulations to the Plains Producer on your excellent coverage of the South Australian Country Football Championships (SACFC) which were held at Port Pirie early in July.

The coverage allowed the people of our region to celebrate the victory of our Central Zone team, which includes the Adelaide Plains Football League, at the Championships. We all appreciate your support.

The contribution of the Adelaide Plains FL was also outstanding!

This included supplying the coach, Andrew Michael and seven players in the team.

Some of these players were selected in the Team of the Carnival and could represent South Australian Country in Perth this weekend.

The support of the APFL Board and majority of clubs was terrific!

However, it’s disappointing to read some ill-informed comments by an anonymous writer in another local publication which need to be corrected.

Firstly, the criticism that players who weren’t selected for the Landmark Cup shouldn’t be considered, is ridiculous.

Surely a coach is allowed some discretion in picking a team with variables in football such as form and injury.

One player who didn’t make the actual the Landmark Cup team made the State Team.

How can this be a bad selection?

Secondly, the SACFC allows the best country footballers to play against each other.

It’s often said if you want to be the best, you’ve got to play against the best!

Many APFL players have proudly represented the Zone, including the late Christan Rimmer.

Most country leagues in SA have a bye and I’d encourage the APFL to continue this policy.

Some leagues, such as the North Eastern FL, use this bye as an opportunity to play additional representative underage football.

The NEFL has had an annual under 14s and 17s match against Port Pirie for about 10 years.

Perhaps the APFL could arrange a similar competition?

Another relevant point is that Community Football, with the support of the Regional Directors, has a policy of making it possible for all players participating in Community Football having the opportunity to represent their State.

I believe this to be the worthy goal for country footballers.

Finally for next year, rather than doing some odd jobs around the house, like he said he did this year, I’d like to invite “the Informant” to the 2014 SACFC, to be held at Kadina, to see the great players of country football in action and to support our Central Zone team.

– Graeme Wandel, Central Zone Director

SPORT v Football

Can Hamley grab double chance?

Les Pearson previews round 15 APFL matches Hamley Bridge v United THE double chance is the ultimate prize on the end of wins in Hamley Bridge’s next two home games.

The first of those two is against United this weekend.

“We want the top two spot and we’ve done all the work to get this far,” Bombers coach, Ash Barnett said.

“If we win our next two games at home, we can consolidate that.

“Top two is the only acceptable result and we’ve divided our season up into quarters, so we’re turning into the last quarter now.”

While the Bombers are travelling well, the form of key forward, Shane Hanson, has been indifferent of late.

“Hanson has been a bit injured since the association game and is ok now but it is the first week he has been training again, so he is probably a bit underdone,” Barnett said.

“It could be a fitness thing or a confidence thing, or even a mixture of both but he will be right once he gets going again.

“He’s pulling up well after games now, so that’s the main thing.”

The form of Malcolm Greenwood is certainly picking up after missing most of the season with hamstring injuries.

“He’s just starting to get his fitness back so we will be playing him flat out from now,” Barnett said.

United coach, David White, said his team will approach the match with the continuing desire to win.

“There hasn’t been any signs of the lads dropping the bundle, either at training or during matches,” he said.

The Tigers have been starting well but fading out of matches.

“It’s certainly good to turn that around a little rather than playing catch up footy,” White said.

“We’ll need to make sure they’re working for everything they get.

“If we let them go, they’ll cut us up and that has happened to us in the past.

“If they get a sniff, they love to run forward, so we’ll need to be with them every step of the way to give ourselves the best chance.”

Two Wells v HWE RESUMING from the bye, Two Wells hosts a humbled Hummocks-

THE form of Hamley Bridge’s key forward, Shane Hansen, has been indifferent in recent weeks, due to an injury during the association game.

The Bombers need to come up with wins against United this week, and Two Wells next week, to secure the top two spot.

Watchman Eagles team that conceded 24 goals against Virginia on the weekend.

The Roosters should just about be at full strength and starting their run into the finals this week.

Standing in their way are the Eagles, still keen to free themselves from last spot on the APFL table.

HWE coach, David Cluse, was aware of their potential to score prolifically and warned his team to remain vigilant for the full four quarters.

“The first time we played them we were with them for a half but let them score some comfortable goals in the second,” he said.

Despite sitting at the foot of the ladder, the Eagles continue to take a positive attitude on and off the field.

“The boys are working hard though and not shirking the issue,” Cluse said.

“We’re past the point of honourable losses, they don’t matter now.”

The Eagles coach rates Two Wells as a highly fancied opponent, right up there with Mallala and Virginia.

That said, he felt Hamley Bridge were punching above their weight in second spot on the ladder, suggesting the Bombers didn’t seem up to the standard of the other three finals contenders.

I’ve seen at Virginia, Mallala and Two Wells, I don’t really see it,” Cluse said.

Virginia v Balaklava BALAKLAVA’S slim finals hopes rest on wins for the remainder of the season and after coming so close against Hamley Bridge, the Peckers turn their attention to a Virginia outfit back in form.

Rams coach, Joss DenEngelse, said the team will prime itself for another huge game.

“We know Balaklava is going to throw everything at us at it really is their last gasp for their season,” he said.

“The boys have a lot of respect for Balaklava as whenever we play them, we know we’re going to get a challenge.”

Virginia went from being terrible against Hamley Bridge to superb against Hummocks-Watchman Eagles on the weekend, DenEngelse keen to establish some consistency on the field.

“The lads have made a pact over the next six weeks to understand the processes of our game plan,” he said.

Ryan Starr is a likely replacement for Caleb Howell, should he get the call up for State Country duties this week.

Former Eastern Park player, Jake Slattery, played his first game for the Rams on the weekend.

The 21-year-old was previously coached as a junior by DenEngelse at

Salisbury North.

Balaklava almost welcomed the return of premiership star, Ben Catford, to the team on Saturday before he was a late withdrawal through sickness.

Catford has not played an A grade game this season and could be selected again in coming weeks.

“Potentially yes but he’s only played a handful of games this year and with other commitments, we will see what he’s thinking,” Peckers coach, Stuart Lamond said.

“When he’s up and running, he’s arguably in the top five players in the competition.”

Luke Guy will probably get the job in Brendon Niklaus, after keeping Koby Ettridge and Shane Hanson quiet in recent weeks.

“He’s been good and will probably get that opportunity on the weekend to play on another good forward but we will see what plays out.

“We have to be at our best to beat them.

“Against Virginia, we always know it’s going to be a tight contest.”

Under 14 squad selected the 25 man squad to play in the Under 14 Association carnival on Sunday August 4 at Lochiel oval, was announced on Wednesday July 17 after training and a tea at Mallala Football Club. The squad will train together three more times before the carnival.

Coach is Nicholas Mathew, with Rob Studham assistant coach and Peter Butterfield as selector/association junior panel coordinator.

Congratulations to the 51 players who were nominated by their clubs to try out for the team, it was a tough job for the selection panel.

Under 14 Association squad: Earl Deroma, William Dixon, Tyson Lamond, Sam Michael, Sean Spiessegger, (Bal), Connor Buckby, Leon Raether (HB), Dylan Irrgang, Tyler Moulds, Jacob Nipperess, Joshua Studham, Nathan Studham (HWE), Henry Bennison, Dylan Howell, Mark Jenkin, Austin Kearns, Riley Thorne (Mal), Luke Barnett, Jayden Brewin, Riley Cummins, James Gameau, Jonas Stankevicius (TW), Nick McArdle, Dawson Page (Uni), Jack Ranaldo, Jake Roberts (Vir).

RSMU’s early lead seals win rsmu v bsr

A1: Score: RSMU 39 v BSR 31 A sluggish start by RSMU and a very determined BSR, with beautiful shooting by Jessie Lee and Brittany Daly and led through the middle by Simone Lawry had BSR up by four at quarter time and five at half time.

Stepping up in defence by Ellen Callery, Sarah Noack and Zoe Hier saw the margin cut to two after BSR being up by seven throughout the quarter. RSMU came out firing again in the last, with steady play throughout the centre from Tammi and Brooke and settled goals

by Jess and Nicole and turnovers a plenty had RSMU up by eight at the final whistle.

A2: Score: RSMU 57 v BSR 27 A great four-quarter effort by both teams in trying conditions. RSMU got an early jump on BSR, led by the great shooting of Paige Rowett and made the most of all their opportunities. Pressure all over the court saw many turnovers and strong centre court play set up many attacking moves. RSMU were too strong for the Tigers who to their credit continued to contest.

B1: RSMU 47 v BSR 25 Great team game by the Hawks, with all seven players combining well. Simone Norman and Shannon Fuss defended beautifully for the Hawks all game. Ellie Weckert shot accurately for BSR, making the shooting look easy. Good win to the Hawks.

B2: RSMU 21 v BSR 38 Tight start to the match. Sophie Griffiths and Annie Vater in defence for RSMU tried hard all match. BSR goalies got more consistent as the match went on. BSR were more consistent for four quarters.

C1: RSMU 49 v BSR 20 A very strong first quarter saw RSMU take a strong lead, with confident shooting

by RSMU’s Maddie Dunn and Anika McEvoy.

The second quarter saw great defensive pressure by RSMU’s Sharna Juett and Megan McKeough who kept BSR’s goalies working for every possession. Third quarter was much the same, with RSMU increasing their intensity and this continue all through out the game. BSR’s Shannon Tilbrook worked very hard in defence all game to give her team plenty opportunities. Credit to BSR they never gave up.

C2: RSMU 41 v BSR 26 A good start from RSMU gave us a good lead going into the second quarter. Great moving by RSMU goalies Hannah Busch and Stevie-Lee Dutton gave us an eight goal lead at half time. Scrappy third quarter by both teams. Hannah Busch and Hayley Jackson had a tight contest in the centre position. A strong last quarter by Sonali Weragoda in the mid court saw the Hawks come away with a convincing win against the Tigers.

Well done by all.

J1: RSMU 24 V BSR 10 Under freezing but dry conditions, the girls all started off playing hot potato! RSMU took the first quarter with a six goal lead.

BSR attacked the ball with a greater desire, but RSMU’s defence of Abby, Alice and Terri proved to strong for the tiger’s attack line.

Half time score had the Hawks in front 13-4.

Sophie A for BSR applied great pressure in the Hawks goal circle while Georgie D played a great game at WD. A change to RSMU’s team in the last quarter saw the Hawks come out with a 14-goal win.

Only 16 people failed to heed the dire weather forecast for last Saturday and rather than eat warming curries, while swilling chilli schnapps, followed by golden syrup dumplings, like any “normal” person no doubt did, instead turned out for a Stroke round, in the wind and rain, for the second round of our Winter Shield and in search of a claimant for the Balaklava Electronics Trophy.

Mighty Merv Hameister WAS the A Grade field and hit 106 (!) to score 96 - ‘nough said. There were all of four B Graders, of whom Geoff Leo stormed home with a DNF, leaving Wayne Nagle (93/79) to claim bragging rights and little else, Bill Berry (98/80) to clean his shoe studs and John Michael (105/85) to study his hub caps with the aid of a wet finger.

From the massed ranks of the C Grade Surge emerged who else but that classic “quiet achiever”, great big fat Marty Bell, with a dominant 103/73. Mind you, Digby Addison’s 100/78 wasn’t too shabby, while Greg Sonntag’s 100/79 was just enough to quell the hopes of Trevor Gilmour (109/79), courtesy of the fiendish Count Bach.Those who also flailed in vain were D. Trickett (102/81), I. Jenkins (109/83), I. Bastian (118/90) and M. Liptrot (116/93). Struck down by a shocking case of chipped finger nails were both Barry Thompson and his navigator, Les Masson, who bravely carded stoic DNFs..

Collin Heslop submitted a (confidential) card in search of a handicap.

Birdies were belted by Wayne Nagle on the second and Dean Trickett the third.

Nearest The Pins were held by Greg Sonntag at the third and for his majestic second lob onto the 13th, Martyn Bell. So, Marty Bell won the day and got his 6 Golfer of the Winter points, Digby got 5, Wayne 4, Greg 3, Trevor 2 and the cowed and drenched, just one each. The final round of the magnificent Winter Shield, to be fought and settled this Saturday, will see Bill Parkin pitted against Merv Hameister for the A grade, Graham Ackland right in the sniper sights of one Wayne Nagle (B grade) and a C grade square-off between Malcolm Liptrot and jumpin’ Geoff Leo. This Saturday we mere mortals will be directed by none other than Mike “Supermarket” Smith as to where to tee off on the Terminus Hotel Trophy Stableford stoush, while certain persons will engage in stroke play to lay the Winter Shield to rest for this year. On Sunday, “The Great Leveller” will be staged at Two Wells, a 27-hole challenge to rival

any other, anywhere, any time, ever…

Last round of the Club Championships and the same scenario faced the 24 players as the week before.

The conditions could have been awful, but it turned out okay with most players getting in dry and only the last few groups getting rained on for a while. In the day’s comp, Russell Grigg turned in a blinder (at last) to narrowly win A grade with 68, from Chris Girling also with 68.

Russell also won the putting comp with 22 putts, which included 8 x 1 putts on the last nine holes.

B Grade saw Paul Shields win the day with 72 from those two canny Scotsmen, Ian Smith (73) and Ian Clark (75).

Highlight of the day was Gary Paynes’ group finishing an hour and a half behind Bobby Hoggs’ group after complaining at the first about having to play behind “super snail” Hoggy. Hoggy was last seen asking whether a two stroke penalty has been imposed on that group for slow play.

On behalf of the McGrath Foundation, we’d like to say a huge thank you to Dublin Cricket Club for working tirelessly to ensure that their recent Pink Stumps Days would be a great success – and it was!

They made a phenomenal effort and through online fundraising as well as activities held on the day, they have raised more than $600.

Of course, all of this would not have been possible without the support from the wider community, so thank you for coming out in pink and getting behind your club’s Pink Stumps Day. Thanks also to our Corporate Friends Cricket Australia for their commitment and dedication to what has proven to be a successful grassroots community initiative.

Community events such as Pink Stumps Day go a long way to help the McGrath Foundation raise funds to place McGrath Breast Care Nurses in communities right across Australia and increase breast awareness amongst young women. We’re so grateful for the support we receive from the community and we can proudly say that we currently have 84 working McGrath Breast Care Nurses who have together supported over 20,000 families.

For more information on the McGrath Foundation and how you can make a difference, please visit www.mcgrathfoundation.com.au.

A1 APNA review with Merridy Manuel

All of the above weather conditions were experienced on Saturday.

The craziest weather was at Hamley Bridge, hail conveniently falling at three quarter time. Every man and his dog, or girl and her netball, dove for cover. Hamley won this game against Balaklava, by 11 goals. A light sprinkle at Lochiel, where Hummocks demolished Virginia and sunshine at Long Plains, with Mallala hanging in for a three goal win.

Mallala 51 def Long Plains 48 The closest tussle on the weekend was between Mallala and Long Plains.

Longies continue to improve, but are yet to earn the points. Scores were level at half time, but Mallala had a big third quarter and Long Plains couldn’t close the gap in the last.

Admittedly, Mallala were not at full strength.

Courtney Lamont sprained her ankle in the second quarter, forcing an unwell Clare Bruggemann to play. In goals, the Jarmyn sister duo continues as Stacey Hewitt is no longer playing due to pregnancy – Congratula-

recognised by the umpires too.

“Also Tessa Jarmyn was strong in GA and GS, playing a captain’s role and taking more control on court.”

Long Plains coach, Michelle Doherty, was disappointed once again.

“We had a tough battle today but we held our composure,” explained Michelle.

“We are definitely improving with every game and the experience the young squad is gaining from games like this can only be beneficial to them.

“We were led by our captain Mary-Jane McArdle who was fantastic all game, as was Tori Doherty and Leah Tynan.”

Goal defenders from both teams took the best player awards, MaryJane McArdle (Long Plains) and Sally Wilson (Mallala).

Quarter scores (MalLP): first 12-7, second 23-23, third 42-37, final 51-48.

girls chipped away at Balaklava, adding a few extra goals to the difference each quarter.

Ashleigh Hornsey took best player honours at centre for Hamley.

Hamley’s height and intense defense seemed obvious from the sidelines. However, coach, Lee Barnett, felt their defensive pressure wasn’t up to scratch and had room for improvement.

Training should be fun this week!

Balaklava’s coach, Carolyn Michael, was pleased with Alexandra Wilson’s defensive efforts

against the formidable Amber Rogers. Together with Jane Harding, the Balak defence double teamed Amber, reducing her scoring options.

Alexandra won best player for Balaklava.

“Hamley capitalised on their opportunities but we struggled to convert,” explained Carolyn.

“Great to have Jane back (overseas for past month), who slotted back in like she hadn’t been away.

“Kayla Arbon also played well in her first A1 game.”

Kayla replaced her

sister, Sally Arbon at GA, who was unwell.

Quarter scores (HBBal): first 12-10, second 23-19, third 34-26, final 45-34.

Hummocks 60 def Virginia 23 (Emma Flannagan) Hummocks blitzed the court at Lochiel, never giving Virginia a chance. The Hummocks team hadn’t played for two weeks due to the zone game and the bye, so coach, Sam Nicholls, was very pleased.

“The weeks off probably helped rest some of our old bodies - mine included!” joked Sam. “It was honestly a true team game where everyone contributed as they needed to.

“A great game by Mel Moulds who got some great tips and worked with Bonnie brilliantly.”

Best player was Sarah Young at C and WD. Playing coach, Sherilee Matheson, was unavailable for the game on Saturday as were goalie Christine Glenn and Emma Flannagan.

“The girls did well considering we had fill ins from the lower grades, including Olivia Hoogenhout, Kaity Vigor and Schae Trask.”

These teams have only played each other once before – in round 7 where the margin was 17.

Virginia made many changes but had no answer for Hummocks’slick maneuvers. Best player for Virginia was Emma Flannagan “the second”.

Quarter scores (HWEVir): first 16-4, second 30-12, third 46-16, final 60-23.

Balaklava came back with intensity towards the end of the quarter. Alexandra Wilson had a good quarter for Balaklava at GK, as did Alison Schahinger for Hamley at the other end. HB 34 – Bal 27.

Hail held up the start of the final quarter. The weather conditions made the final quarter an even contest – Hamley finishing with a convincing win. Kayla Arbon handled the wet conditions standing out in the last for Balaklava. Final scores HB 45 – Bal 34.

A3: Balaklava 77 def Hamley Bridge 20.

A strong game from Balaklava which showed in the final score. Silly errors caused Hamley to go down with strong mid-court attacking and defence from Balaklava, giving them an easy win.

Good passages of play and defence meant Balak could score the first goals.

Standout players were Hamely GK, Adrienne Malycha and Balaklava WD, Casey Michael. Bal 61 – HB 13.

Some great team work demonstrated

by Balaklava with all players coming as one. Hamley GK, Adrienne Malycha and Balak WD, Casey Michael, were again standouts. Final score: Bal 77- HB 20 A4: Balaklava 70 def Hamley Bridge 21.

SARAH Trussell, Long Plains, about to pass during the A3 Adelaide Plains netball match at home, while Mallala’s Kayla Charles defends.

Balaklava tromped Hamley in trying weather conditions. Hamley had the first pass and scored the first goal. It went goal for goal until Balaklava got some rebounds and made the most of them. Lovely defence from both teams with many turnovers occurring. Standout players were Hamley’s Ashleigh Fritz and Balaklava’s Eleisha Hancock. Bal 17 – HB 9.

The second quarter saw rain and then hail. This slowed the game down and evened up the skill level. Balaklava started to take risks and it paid off. They were very defensive and their goalies were accurate. Hamley’s GS, Rebecca Fritz couldn’t miss even in the windy conditions. Balaklava’s Ellie Reusch shot beautifully and was one of the stand out players, as was Hamley’s Corrine Martin.

Bal 32 – HB 17.

Both teams had to work hard for the ball. Wet conditions made it hard to control the ball. Balaklava picked up a few loose balls and made the most of their opportunities. Hamley had to work harder to get their goals. Standout players were Hamley’s Emma Kingate and Balaklava’s Alana Pollard. Bal 49 – HB 20.

U15: Hamley Bridge def Balaklava.

A great game by both teams with nice patches of play. Strong defensive play from Balaklava provided them with many opportunities, but Hamley were too strong.

There was a strong stand by the home team. Balaklava seemed to settle more as the quarter progressed. Standout players were Hamley’s Amy Humphries and Balaklava’s Zoe Bell. HB 13 – Bal 2.

Balaklava settled better against Hamley this quarter with good mid court play. Balaklava’s defence also lifted, keeping Hamley’s score low. Standout players were Balaklava’s Eleanor Cunningham and Hamley’s Carly Durdin.

HB 20 – Bal 7.

Consistent play from Hamley helped them maintain their lead. As the quarter progressed, play became a bit scrappy, consistent with the cold, windy conditions. Standouts were Tyler Powell, Hamley, and Balaklava’s Sophie Wehr.

HB 29 – Bal 13.

Hamley started well which kept them

in front comfortably, with consistent play.

Hamley’s Amy Humphries and Sophie Wehr, Balaklava, again shone for their teams. Final score 37 – 18.

U13 A: Hamley escaped with a win against Balaklava by one goal, with some finals quality netball.

It was a great first quarter for both teams. Balaklava scored the first goal of the game with Hamley recovering with two quick goals, Nadia Langtry GS for Hamley shooting well. HB 8 – B 8 The second was another great quarter but it was Hamley’s defence end that shut down Balaklava’s goal scoring, although Claudia Tiller C was superb. HB 19 - B 14.

Balaklava got back on top in the third with Bianca Smith GA shooting wonderfully well, barely missing a shot.

HB 21 – B 25.

Hamley Bridge came back in the final term with some outstanding play, both attackers right on top despite the best efforts of the Balaklava defence. Michaela Burns GK was brilliant for Hamley Bridge.

It was very cold but both teams played great games.

U13 B: Despite the inclement weather, both teams put in a 100 per cent effort.

Hamley’s defence worked really hard but went into the break down by 6-0.

Balaklava played well as a team throughout the second quarter, pulling off some important intercepts resulting in good goals. Passing skilss were put to the test by the conditions but Balaklava went to the half time break leading 8-1.

Fleeting appearances of sunshine seemed to galvanise the Hamley girls who enjoyed a few more attacking opportunities, However, they were unable to stop Balaklava, who were playing we through the centre, going to a 16-3 lead at three quarter time.

The game picked up in the last quarter, with both teams playing some great netball. Hamley fought hard but were unable to prevent Balaklava going on to win by 24 goals to 7.

In very trying conditions for netball the high quality of the game was a credit to both teams.

U10: The game started very slow with both teams turning over the ball a lot.

There were no goals on the scoreboard until the last 30 seconds of the quarter by Hamley Bridge’s Lucy Smith. HB 1 – Bal 0.

Another quarter of interceptions with Balaklava having a lot of scoring opportunities but were unable to score their first goal until the last minute of the quarter.

Hamley didn’t score for the quarter with Balaklava’s height continuing to trouble them. HB 1 – Bal 1.

Hamley scored three goals in a row after the half time break with their leading and passing improving. Layne Baker ended up shooting five for the quarter.

HB 7-Bal 1.

Hamley had control of the last quarter and did lots of attacking and shots, but couldn’t add to the scoreboard. Balaklava team gave their all and played well tother as a team, but the Hamley girls effort and persistence gave them a win. Final scores: HB 7 – Bal 2.

While many people would have bought chickens from Andersons, over a good many years, very few would have been aware of the chicken breeding program being run there.

I recently came across the ‘foreward’ to a “field study report (circa 1976),” written by Mr. Kel Pearson who was employed

by Andersons, giving a brief insight into what was behind the successful name of Anderson’s Chicks: The property was originally in the hands of Brian Anderson’s father and his uncle, the property being run jointly by these two

10-year-old tofu.

If TVs ever get a smell function, that’s one episode you will want to skip.

The tears falling out of Blake’s eyes after swallowing the greying muck he described as having a diarrhoea scent was nearly enough to make me lose my dinner.

What annoys me about the show is just purely out of jealousy.

Both Lee and Blake seemingly have fun touring the world and playing gags on one another the whole time.

Sure, it’s great entertainment and they undoubtedly have to work hard to a certain degree but it looks so enjoyable.

I would almost go as far to say they have the perfect job, aside from Miranda Kerr’s underwear.

I have waited a while to sink my boot into a certain song and it appears my time has arrived.

Passenger’s “Let Her Go” is as annoying to me now as it was when it was first released.

The song actually hit the top of the ARIA charts and received huge amounts of airplay on radio stations nationwide, almost driving me to the point of insanity.

“Let Her Go” still occupies 16th spot on the charts but thank goodness it is on the slide.

This song will be one of those ones we all look back on and say “what the heck were we thinking?”

P!nk’s music is also killing me slowly. She’s in Australia, we get it. Play some different artists for goodness sake!

Swedish DJ, Avicii, tops the charts with “Wake Me Up”, a reasonably catchy club beat also wildly successful in Europe but “Counting Stars”

by One Replic in number two has been in my head for days. It’s a great track.

When this plan eventually began to evolve, the majority of the property was sold to newbuy landowners and today only 200 acres remains of the original 1600 acres.

I think here it’s worth mentioning that one has to get a start somewhere and, in an endeavour to come up with a satisfactory bloodline, Brian had, at any one stage, in excess of 40 different bloodlines of birds and probably as many as seven or eight different varieties on the place.

This was done by crossing and crossing and crossing until he finished up with the desired bird.

was concerned.

It was also timely in that it meant a change in the format of breeding, rearing and selling.

Prior to this time, there were men in the state who took day old chickens, that is laying chickens, reared them to point of lay and then resold them to a commercial egg producer.

Brian Anderson set about to establish a complex whereby he could produce his own fertile eggs, hatch them in his own hatchery, rear them on his own farm, and sell them as started pullets, in big orders capable of supplying the biggest commercial egg layer anywhere in Australia.

This dates back 20 years ago, back to 1956, when this change

Test and evaluation activities involving static firings and/or firings of naval and artillery weapons are conducted at the Proof and Experimental Establishment Port Wakefield throughout the year. The Proof and Experimental Establishment Port Wakefield is a vital Defence test and evaluation capability that has supported Defence since 1929.

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

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

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

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

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