Promising potential NANTAWARRA grower, Tim Dixon, holds a canola plant similar in size to his crop at this stage last year.

He stands amongst this year’s well advanced crop in a paddock at Watchman, already out in flower.

It is a similar situation right across the district, with ideal growing conditions leading to substantial crop growth to date. n Full story, page 4

DOWNSIZING! Wakefield Regional Council considers wards and councillor revamp FOUR Wakefield Regional Council wards are to become three and 10 councillors will become nine if the recommended proposal from the Elector Representation Review is carried following a public consultation period.

The ward structure was requiring change after a review found the required ratio of councillors to voters was out

Les Pearson reports: in council’s Western Ward and Central Ward.

As a result, council opted to retain the ward system but change its structure, abolishing its Western Ward and combining it with the Central Ward, while reducing the number of councillors in the ward by one.

The resulting Northern Ward boundary is then shifted further south, taking in Lochiel and Kybunga, while the Southern Ward shuffles further north, encompassing most of the area east of Balaklava, to the traditional southern towns of Owen and Hamley Bridge.

The changes, should they be carried after the public consul-

tation period, would come into place after the November 2014 local government election.

Consultant, Craig Rowe, briefed council on the required changes at last week’s council meeting. “You can not retain the current ward structure,� he told councillors. n Continued Page 4

WRC moves to sell excess Everard land THE council-owned land surrounding the Everard Waste Transfer Station is to be sold but a sale date is yet to be determined.

Wakefield Regional Council paid $485,000 for about 375 hectares on the southern and western boundaries of the existing facility in January 2006.

The total cost of the land was about $512,000, with council borrowing $500,000 at a fixed interest rate of 6.4 per cent to fund the purchase.

It was intended to develop the site into a regional waste facility, while about 92 hectares is under a mining lease to access rubble for road construction.

The remaining 283 hectares has been under a grazing lease in previous

Les Pearson reports: years, partially offsetting the loan repayments.

The waste transfer station still accepts small amounts of demolition, construction and green waste.

Council opted in favour of selling the excess land at last week’s council meeting on the back of a recent report on the future viability of the site.

Waste expert and consultant, Trevor Hockley, provided the councilcommissioned report, suggesting other waste facilities in the district, such as Inkerman and Dublin, made the idea of Everard becoming a regional waste site redundant.

“With these (other) facilities now established,

As a result, he recommended council sell the excess land “in stages to suit the needs of council’s operations and sale proceeds can be used to offset the loan or fund other priorities council determines.”

Western Ward councillor, Richard Pain, questioned the exact intention of the recommendation council was voting on.

“So it is not actually saying we’re going to put it on the market straight away?” he posed, which was confirmed by council management. The recommendation was carried.

... but goes cold on ‘Townsvale’ housing plan ANY future development of infrastructure on Townsvale Estate will require further financial commitment from either developer, Unity Housing, or property owner, Murray Gates.

Wakefield Regional Council resolved not to partner Unity Housing in developing Townsvale Estate, a residential development at the eastern end of Balaklava at last month’s council meeting.

The proposal included the transfer of privately owned roads to council, which would be sealed by council as part of the development.

A prudential report received from consultants claimed council would open itself up to considerable financial risk if it went ahead with the development.

Much of the risk surrounded the potential cost to council of more than $800,000 for the infrastructure required, with only two blocks of land as compensation to offset that investment.

WRC chief executive officer, Cate Atkinson, and WRC infrastructure services manager, David Hassett, met with Mr Gates to inform him of

council’s decision.

Mr Hassett reported in the July meeting agenda that Mr Gates was advised council required further financial commitment from him to assist with infrastructure costs associated with developing the land and roads.

Mr Gates reportedly indicated any further financial contribution was not possible.

Unity Housing later contacted council to point out a grant funding opportunity, which could potentially reduce council’s contribution for the project to $400,000.

“Unity was advised the project still requires a more cost effective or cost neutral position before council would give any further consideration to the transfer of roads or land,” Mr Hassett reported.

“Both Mr Gates and Unity Housing have been requested to seek alternative funding partners to assist in the development of Townsvale Estate.

“Until such time than an alternative funding model is presented, it is considered council resources should not be further expended on this matter.”

Eisteddfod flying into a big weekend of music Balaklava Eisteddfod Society (BES) committee members, holding their new Balaklava Eisteddfod flags, literally stopped traffic in front of the Town Hall last Friday.

• PICTURED above (from left) are Trish Goodgame, Bronny Cottle, Di Spence and Lenice Cox. The flags, purchased by the Eisteddfod Society through Grandeur Press, will add a festive look and feel to the town during the Eisteddfod weekend on August 2 - 4.

“We hope they will add some colour and excitement to our town centre,” said BES president, Bronny Cottle.

The committee extends a warm invitation to all the people of Balaklava and districts to attend the many performances taking place over the three days.

“You have the option of staying for five or 15 minutes, one hour or all day,” said Bronny.

There’s something for everyone - from rock and concert bands, school choirs, and singing, to violins, piano accordions and

public speaking. Daily tickets allow you to attend any of the six venues to see 11 different disciplines, and cost just $3 on Friday and $5 on Saturday.

Sunday’s Finale Concert in Balaklava Town Hall, starting at 2.30pm, will see the champions from Friday and Saturday competitions perform in concert style.

As always, the massed school choirs will delight the crowd with their exuberant singing.

Adelaide Plains Male Voice Choir scholarship, for vocal finalists aged between 13-18, will be adjudicated on Sunday by Peggy Fearn, a now retired, world-renowned opera singer.

Peggy, who locals might know as Barbara Peggy Naughton from Auburn, sang with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra under Henry Krips when she was just 16.

She trained for the London Opera School at the Royal College of Music, and performed in five operas. Tickets cost $8 and are available at the Eisteddfod office in the town hall Friday and Saturday.

the cost in transport to consolidate to a regional facility to process waste streams becomes prohibitive,” Mr Hockley reported.

“The waste disposal market in northern Adelaide has significantly changed, with fierce competition between two private operators for solid waste streams.

“WRC can confidently dispose of excess land surrounding the Everard Waste Transfer Station to maximise benefits for its community and remove unnecessary holding costs.”

BALAKLAVA will host the 2013 Yorke Peninsula Celebration of Employment Awards ceremony at the town hall on October 12.

The awards are held annually to acknowledge and reward individuals and organisations that excel in training and employment within the region.

Nominations have been open to employees and employers who work or live in the Wakefield Regional Council, District Council of Barunga West, District Council of the Copper Coast and the District Council of Yorke Peninsula for the past month.

This year’s award categories include Apprentice of the Year, Trainee of the Year, Australian School Based Apprentice of the Year, Employee of the Year and Small/Medium/Large Employer of the Year.

The nomination process involves completing an application form and participating in a short interview (at Kadina, Maitland, Balaklava or Yorketown) in late August. All nominations must be received by 5pm, this Friday, August 2.

Award categories and associated eligibility conditions can be found in nomination forms available for download at www.

yorkeandmidnorth.com.au. Tickets to this year’s awards ceremony will be released for purchase closer to the event date.

The Yorke Peninsula Celebration of Employment Awards is a joint initiative of Regional Development Australia Yorke and Mid North, Wakefield Regional Council, District Council of Barunga West, District Council of the Copper Coast and the District Council of Yorke Peninsula.

Ward change means one less central councillor • From Page 1

Five to become four

The newly proposed three-ward system.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

UNDER the proposed ward changes, Western Ward councillors, Richard and Darryl Pain (left), will join the Central Ward with current Central councillors Maurice Tiller, David Lamond and Owen Chapman (above).

Only four elected member positions will be available for the Central Ward at the Local Government Elections in 2014.

Senator quizzed on climate change stance The great majority of the world’s climate scientists agree the climate is changing due to Mankind’s impact.

Most of our federal politicians accept what the climate scientists are telling us, but an uncomfortably large number, especially among the Coalition, do not.

I believe climate change (and the related problem of ocean acidification) are the greatest threats facing our planet and the future of our children and grandchildren. Those politicians who do not accept the fact of climate change will not want action to limit it.

Recently I have asked our local Senator, Sean Edwards, whether he accepts what the climate scientists are telling us.

He has not given me an answer. Senator Edwards is treating the people of South Australia with contempt so long as he refuses to tell them whether he accepts the science.

When climate change is destroying the world as we know it, why is only about one person in a thousand making a serious effort to do anything about it?

Put 2kW of solar panels on your roof and you save about 3 tonnes CO2 per year; help get a 20 turbine wind farm built by spreading the facts on wind power and you will have a part in saving 180 000 tonnes of CO2 per year.

Dave Clarke, Crystal Brook

Mr Rowe recommended council move in a similar direction to other regional councils by scrapping wards all together, with 32 of 48 not retaining a ward structure.

“It provides an opportunity for every member of the community to vote for who they want on council,” he said.

The ward system also provides the opportunity for people to get voted onto council unchallenged and dodge local government elections, if there are limited nominations in a particular ward.

“You already represent the whole council now and when you vote, you vote with the whole area at heart, I would hope,” Mr Rowe said.

Western Ward councillor, Richard Pain, was keen to see wards retained.

“You could well end up with an area in the north, for example, without a representative at all,” he said.

“That could put a burden on other councillors having to travel long distances to attend various community meetings too.”

Mr Rowe said he could never

guarantee how a community was going to vote. “What it does guarantee is the people with the most votes get elected,” he said.

“I guess you balance voting for everyone against having representatives in specific wards.”

Cr Pain moved the wards system be retained, given the large council area requires even representation across the district.

Southern Ward councillor, Rodney Reid, spoke against the ward system.

After losing a local government election previously due to only two Southern Ward positions available, he felt the community should get the chance to vote for all councillors.

“I have a lot of people when they speak to me say ‘I know you’re not my ward councillor, but….”

Cr Reid said.

“I also think it’s a joke you can still get elected to a ward you don’t live in.

“It makes a mockery of the democracy system.”

The draft ward structure and other changes will be on public consultation before the final deadline in October.

Superb season start has hopes high IT has been a long time between drinks as far as good starts to the growing season go but this year, the crops across the district are showing fantastic early potential.

Given it is late July, many crops are well advanced compared to a standard year, canola beginning to flower and some grain crops coming out in head.

Standing in a thick canola crop on his Watchman block, Nantawarra grower, Tim Dixon, said he had received 11 inches of rain since April 20.

“I’ve never had a canola crop like it,” he said.

With golden blooms shooting out the top of the plant like little yellow fireworks, his canola is streets ahead of where it was at the same time last year, a poor canola season.

On the back of continuing showers, farmers have been kept on their tractors, spreading urea to maximise growth with the ideal growing conditions.

Tim’s Watchman crop had two lots of urea spread onto it.

He had little concern for its early flowering, given the plant will continue to flower in coming months regardless.

“On the way into the Hum-

mocks, there is some wheat coming out in head, I would be more worried about that,” Tim said.

Cool, wet conditions increase the risk of frost, rust and fungal diseases for wheat coming out in head early.

That said, with the right control and adequate monitoring, crops could be on the verge of record yields.

“There’s no telling what the crops will do from here,” Tim said.

“The long range forecast is predicting above average rainfall up to spring.”

Canola was fetching as high

as $520 a tonne last week and if the Australian dollar can continue to fall somewhat, prices could well remain reasonable as well.

“This is the best start to a season I’ve ever seen,” Tim said.

Driving distracted ALMOST 2000 expiation notices have been issued for using a mobile phone while driving or failing to wear a seatbelt throughout SAPOL’s Operation Distraction, running throughout July.

Of the 1252 drivers who were fined for using a mobile phone

while driving, 53 were P1 licence holders.

Eastern Adelaide Police have issued the most fines for mobile phone use with 364, followed

by Traffic Police with 159 and Sturt Police with 123.

In regional areas, Eyre and Western Police handed out 55 expiation notices, followed by Yorke Mid North Police with 47.

The total number of expiation notices issued to drivers or passengers for failing to wear a seatbelt as of Monday was 728.

Eyre and Western Police issued 120 fines, followed by Yorke Mid North Police with 98.

Although there is only one more day (Wednesday, July 31) left of Operation Distraction, police will continue to try to educate drivers and passengers of the dangers

of failing to wear a seatbelt and being distracted by a mobile phone when driving.

Such simple precautions such as putting on a seatbelt and putting away your mobile phone can literally be the difference between life and death.

Ecstasy warning POLICE are warning the public that a bad batch of ecstasy tablets has resulted in several people being hospitalised over the weekend.

Several people were taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital with overdose symptoms, along with another person who was taken to the Lyell McEwin Hospital.

After several enquiries, police arrested a 21-year-old man from North Adelaide for trafficking a controlled drug.

At the time of arrest

police will allege he was in possession of 33 ecstasy tablets and $900 cash.

He has been bailed to appear in court at a later date.

Clare culprit caught A WOODVILLE South man was arrested in Clare last week in connection with a break-in in the Mid North township.

The 46-year-old was charged with serious criminal trespass, theft and unlawful possession.

He was remanded on bail to appear in the Care Magistrates Court on October 14.

Police said further enquiries and information from the public has led to the recovery of a substantial amount of property including jewellery, antiques, a tool box and a safe, which are all believed to have

been stolen from other break-ins in the Clare and Riverton areas.

It is not yet known where the safe was stolen from.

Anyone with any information is asked to call the Clare Police Station on 8842 2711.

Speeding at Windsor A MAN has lost his licence for six months after being caught speeding at Windsor.

At about 8.40pm on Thursday, police were conducting speed detection duties on Port Wakefield Road, when they allegedly detected a Ford XR6 sedan travelling at 169km/h in a 110km/h zone.

A 47-year-old Rostrevor man was issued with a six-month instant loss of licence notice, and a $987 fine.

Neville “Cheeky” Seccafien from Two Wells – not named by his brother, as many people think!

Cheeky’s uncle called all babies “Cheeky Charlie,” including Neville.

As Neville’s brother was only 20 months older than him, he also called Neville “Cheeky.”

The name “Cheeky” stuck and by the time he got to school, and being the youngest child of 14 siblings and cousins on the family farm, Neville was known only as “Cheeky.”

Michael “Pickles” Sharman, of Long Plains, name started when he was a child as a rhyming name, as you do – Michael, Mickle, Pickle.

They started from scratch, and have learnt new skills to design and make some compost bins and two worm farms.

The students renovated two old fridges as worm farms, and made legs to raise the height and allow for drainage.

NEWS v District n WAKEFIELD REGIONAL COUNCIL URGES PROPERTY OWNERS TO CHECK REGULATIONS:

Caution on ‘historic’ town areas

Individual Spur winners, (from left) James Brooksby, Clare Valley, Ryan Longmire, Clare Valley, Jeff Elliott, Great Western, Victoria.

Ryan again ‘a cut above’ Kilikanoon Vineyard, in the Clare Valley, provided the perfect venue for the SA Pruning Championships last Friday, hosted for the second year running by the Clare Region Winegrape Growers Association (CRWGGA).

Clare Valley’s Ryan Longmire again claimed the Wolf Blass Shield for the aggregate winner of the championships, after winning the title in 2012.

Mild temperatures saw more than 30 competitors enjoy a day of stiff competition, great rivalry, and a lot of fun.

Organiser, Malcolm Parish, said entries were similar to last year with a new team from over the border.

Taltarni wines and Seppelts Great Western both made the trip over the border to compete.

“We also had representation from McLaren Vale this year. Local companies and private vineyards were well represented,” Malcolm said.” It was good to see last year’s winners come back and defend their titles.”

The vines were in good heart after a dry summer, which made for ideal pruning conditions.

Rod and Spur was the first event with five heats.Next was the Commercial Spur, with simi-

lar heats. Pruning was very fast in comparison to the first event.

After lunch was the Team Spur competition, with 12 teams entered – more than double last

year’s entries. This is a great fun event, run in two heats.

“Second and third in the team event scored the same in the judging of quality and technique and were split only by their speed which was one second difference! Some close competition indeed,” said Malcolm.

“Well done to Ryan Longmire, who retained the Wolf Blass aggregate shield.”

Local competitors Brett Smith, James Brooksby and Scott Victor also did well.

WAKEFIELD Regional Council has issued a reminder to local property owners development restrictions could apply to their property if it is within a “historic conservation” area.

The latest WRC newsletter featured a small article on the historic conservation areas (HCAs) and their implications on properties.

There are 18 HCAs in the council area, including five in Balaklava, three in Hamley Bridge and Snowtown, two in Blyth and Port Wakefield and one each in Bowmans, Brinkworth and Owen.

They generally encompass older areas of the respective towns, which include both commercial and residential properties.

WRC building development officer, Dustin Guthberg, said developments to these properties within the HCAs were subject to a slightly different approval process.

“If you own a property in one of these historic conservation areas, the process the applicant goes through for minor developments is the same as lodging a development application with council for any other development,” he explained.

“However, the assessment of these applications often includes an assessment by Council’s Heritage Advisor.

“Applicants can seek advice prior to lodging their application to discuss specific design features, and depending on the development this may include a consultation with council’s Heritage Advisor.”

Developments within an HCA need to be sympathetic to the design of existing structures of historic value.

“Scale and bulk, external materials, colours, pitch of roof are all examples of design features which may need consideration,” Mr Guthberg said.

“As an example, corrugated cladding is preferred to more modern cladding types such as hi rib, and zinc finish is generally not acceptable, usually substi-

tuted with a colour such as shale grey.”

The HCAs were added to council’s development plan last year.

“The Historic Conservation Areas were identified through a review by Heritage Architects, Grieve Gillett Pty Ltd, in association with Paul Kloeden Historical Research,” Mr Guthberg said.

“This review was commissioned by council in late 2007 after grant funding was made available through the State government, which was seeking to assist Local Government to recognise, maintain and capitalise on South Australia’s heritage assets through Development Plan Amendments.

“Site inspections, together with literature reviews, were main sources of information for the study.

“The areas were added to the Development Plan to assist in protecting areas of historic and heritage value from inappropriate development.”

The changes to the development plan were on public consultation from August 11, 2011, until October 7, 2011, which was publicly advertised in the Plains Producer, other newspapers and the WRC website.

Public meetings were also held in Hamley Bridge and Balaklava.

“HCA’s are common throughout the state, and the provisions of the development plan relating to development controls of local heritage places and historic conservation areas are standard inclusions of a great number of councils, who have converted to the state’s “Better Development Plan” format,” Mr Guthberg explained.

“Council recommends anyone looking to undertake development within an historic conservation area take into consideration the surrounding streetscape and contact council to discuss their proposal and the design features they will need to consider.”

HCAs are outlined on maps published in council’s development plan, available via the WRC website or office.

Balaklava Courthouse Gallery held its second Friday Night Fundraiser on July 26.

The crowd enjoyed a social evening while enjoying delicious canapes and refreshing drinks while viewing artworks on display for the Balco Art prize, also part of the current state-wide SALA Festival.

Event organisers, Jenni McBride and Naomi Purdue, say you don’t need to be an art lover to come along.

“These evenings are very casual, and something a bit different – it’s somewhere you can join some friends or work colleagues for a relaxing drink, while helping the Gallery fundraise at the same time,” said Jenni.

The Gallery is in desperate need of re-roofing, and requires major repairs to wall cracking.

There have only been two Friday Night Fundraisers so far, but the Gallery already has raised almost $1000.

There will be more Friday Night Fundraisers to coincide with future exhibitions, so keep an eye out for future dates!

NEWS v Two Wells

WITH A HINT OF DEJA VU, OUR TOWN AGAIN WILL GET REVVED UP:

Two Wells gears up for ‘Bash’ start When the Variety Bash kicks off its 25th event in Two Wells on Saturday, August 10, it will be the second time in the acclaimed South Australian tour’s history it has passed through the main street.

Back in 1988, Two Wells was the first “pitstop” on the tour, with hundreds of locals leaving work early and businesses shutting up shop to witness the event at the town oval.

Kids from the local school also came along, forming a guard of honor as the “bashers” left for their trek to Bourke.

Someone who was there taking part with his aptly named car TWAAT (Two Wells Alcohol Appreciation Team) was David Stodart, who has long been a well-known and loved member of the Two Wells community.

David remembers the fanfare and excitement of the event as it passed through on its way to Bourke, the official start of the bash, which would end in the Northern Territory at Blatherskite in Alice Springs nearly two weeks later.

Taking part with his 1954 Ford Customline, Car 202 consisted of David, Ian Carmichael, Joe Cremona, and Bob Rowe, with Malcolm Goss and Brian Carter acting as support crew.

During their stopover in Two Wells, the

Bec O’Brien reports: team helped raise more than $300 for Two Wells Primary School to purchase books and reading materials for children with learning difficulties by channeling their inner Ned Kelly and

collecting “fines” from other participants.

“I thought it’d be good fun,” David said as to why he took part.

“I had the car (and) we made some great friendships out of this, absolutely brilliant friendships.”

In the lead-up to the 1988 event, one publicity brochure described the team as a “crew of rascals” who were “sure to leave a mark on the 1988 Bash”.

And so they did, impressively raising more than $10,000 and taking out the Best Daily Run award on Bash day 5.

The support crew was also given a special award for “Best Support Team” throughout the event.

David is looking forward to next month’s kick-off in Two Wells, saying the stop over in 1988 was a terrific event for the town.

Plains Producer, Wednesday July 31, 2013

“It was such a great atmosphere, the whole town turned out,” he said.

“Gave us a hell of a thrill to see so many there when we drove in, towards the rear of the field as usual.

“Hopefully this year’s event will see the same.

“When you go and see one you really just want to jump in the car and join in.”

David has also participated in the Royal Flying Doctor Service’s annual trek for the best part of a decade.

This years Variety Bash “Off the Beaten Track” will travel from Two Wells to McLaren Vale, taking in Cowell, Streaky Bay, Wudinna,

The event will be held in the main street of Two Wells on Saturday August 10, with a host of festivities and fun for families starting from 7.15am.

The first cars are set to leave at 7.45am, so take the kids, friends and family, and take part in this unique event as it’s sure to be remembered for years to come.

Soil DNA helps humble spud Research team recognised Bec O’Brien reports: While much of Dr Ophel Keller’s 25-year agriculture research career has been in the grains industry, she says some of the technology developed can be applied to other industries.

“We can see the same types of technology for assessing soil-borne disease risks are important for the vegetable type crops,” she said.

“There’s also potential to monitor soil health more broadly – that’s a future direction we would like to head in.”

And while a lot of the focus for this project has been on the processed potato industry, Dr Ophel Keller says this new diagnostic test does have benefits for the fresh potato market also.

“I think it will definitely have a spin off for growers here,” she said.

“Black dot, which is of great interest to the fresh market industry, reduces quality and yield and is a major problem for them in terms of downgrades because of tuber blemishes.”

A new diagnostic test developed by the award-winning research team led by Dr Kathy Ophel Keller, could help local fresh potato growers identify the risk of disease and deliver better quality produce.

Dr Ophel Keller is research chief, sustainable systems division, at the South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI), and was recently awarded the Researcher of the Year Award at the AUSVEG National Convention on the Gold Coast on June 1.

The Researcher of the Year Award acknowledges researchers for successful research or extension work in fields which have made long-term advancements for the vegetable industry.

Dr Ophel Keller has been recognised for the contribution by her team to the horticulture industry, particularly the potato industry, and says the soil DNA diagnostic tests developed by the team assess the risk of diseases which reduce yield and tuber quality caused by powdery scab, root knot nematode, rhizoctonia and common scab.

Workshops for growers and advisers who are interested in accessing the diagnostic testing service are currently being organised.

Huge interest in Advantage SA regional awards The 2013 Regional Awards have reached a record number of nominations and entries, with the Yorke and Mid North receiving 66 entries and 224 nominations.

Advantage SA CEO, Karen Raffen, is thrilled with the 1,949 nominations and 500 entries across the seven regions.

“This year we have seen overwhelming interest, leading us to receive the highest amount of entries and nominations in the 14 year history of the awards,” said Ms Raffen.

These record numbers ensure significant contributions made to the Yorke and Mid North region are acknowledged.

“It is great to see these individuals, groups and businesses receive the recognition they deserve,” she said.

Judging panels for the Yorke and Mid North region will take place on Thursday, August 8, with all finalists notified in September., “We encourage all finalists to attend their presentation evening to help us celebrate regional success and enjoy a night with some of the region’s best contributors,” Ms Raffen said.

Nan Berrett, president of the Zonta Club of Clare & Districts, is excited about the exposure that comes with the club’s nomination and subsequent entry.

“It felt great to have our club recognised as being of value in our community. Being nominated gives us something to celebrate, win or lose, that our small group of women is dynamic and purposeful,” said Ms Berrett.

The Yorke and Mid North presentation evening will be held at the Northern Festival Centre, Port Pirie, on Wednesday October 23, where all winners and finalists will be recognised and celebrated.

Tickets for the presentation evenings will go on sale in September and will be made available to purchase online at www.advantagesa.com.au or by calling 8211 8111. The government of South Australia supports the awards, with Primary Industries and Regions SA (PIRSA) as major sponsor.

Pet Care

With Balaklava Veterinary Service. Ph 8862 2088

Pet cold a possibility?

Can cats and dogs get colds and flu? Yes (but it’s not always the human kind).

For cats and dogs, the symptoms can be sneezing, weakness, and nose and eye discharge. (These can also be signs of allergies and infections, as well as serious conditions like parasites, pneumonia and distemper.)

Can your pet catch a cold or flu from you?

Dogs can’t.

Dogs get viruses from each other. But a cat can catch cold or flu from you.

Cats also get cat-to-cat viruses that are similar to a cold, but humans can’t catch those.

If you have a pet, it’s always a good idea to wash your hands often, especially after contact.

If a pet is ailing, keep him away from family members with weakened immune systems, such as pregnant women and the elderly.

Some experts say you should never let pets sleep in your bed—especially under the covers.

Auburn’s Sun shines in hotel awards

Rising Sun Hotel at Auburn was awarded Best Bistro/Casual Dining Country, in the Australian Hotels Association (AHA) SA Awards for Excellence last week.

Owners Ken and Paula Noack, their daughter Sarah, who is hotel manager, and her partner and head chef, James Kolencik, were thrilled with their win.

“We bought the hotel a couple of years ago, as a bit of a ‘sea change’ from my previous job,” said Ken. After nominating for the AHA award, six hotels were shortlisted to be judged on quality of food and service.

“We didn’t know when we were being judged, but luckily we have a great team here, so they must have made a good impression on the judges,” said Ken. The awards were presented at a dinner at the Entertainment Centre, with more than 750 people attending.

The family business prides itself on great customer service and excellent food.

“Our head chef, James, has a real passion for cooking which is great. He has had lots of experience in the hospitality industry,” said Ken. All winners will compete in the National AHA awards in Canberra on October 2.

The latest exhibition at Kapunda Gallery is sure to bring back memories.

Titled “Celebrating SA – Nags, Baas, Plonk, Brad and Dirt,” the SALA exhibition celebrates our state. It acknowledges sheep, crops, mining, wine making and manufacturing as the basis of SA, and the roles of bullocks, horses, donkeys and camels.

Memorial soldier again stands tall at Tarlee

Restoration of Tarlee war memorial finally has been completed.

The original memorial, built and dedicated in 1920, honoured those who enlisted in both World Wars, was destroyed in July 2012 when a vehicle ploughed into it.

The base was damaged beyond repair and has been rebuilt from Balmoral granite, as was the original.

Names of 36 residents who enlisted for World War I, together with eight residents who lost their lives in the war, are engraved on the base. As a memorial to the 36 men and women from Tarlee and district who enlisted in WWII, and five people who paid the supreme sacrifice, names have also been engraved on the restored base.

The new statue depicts a soldier at the age of 19, which was the age so many enlisted, and so many did not return. It was handcrafted overseas from Carrara marble, sourced in Italy.

This marble was made famous when Michelangelo carved his famous statue of David.

There is no record of any residents enlisting for the Korean, Vietnam or other wars, but several veterans of those and other conflicts, now reside in Tarlee, and form an important role in the regular remembrances which are held at the memorial.

After the vehicle incident, the safety of the memorial has been improved, with a continuous vehicle barrier installed. This will also ensure the safety of people who attend Anzac and Remembrance Day services there.

Long time district resident, Anne Gilfillan, whose birthday is on Anzac Day, is very satisfied with the restoration.

“My father, JG Kelly, brother Jim, and several other close relatives, along with my brother-in-law, WJ Gilfillan, who paid the supreme sacrifice, are named on the Memorial, so it’s very significant for me,” she said.

NEWS v Halbury

Halbury’s beautiful parkland needs you

The endangered orchid, Halbury Greenhood.

Louise Michael reports: Trees for Life (TFL) is looking for volunteers to help on its Bush for Life sites at Halbury parklands.

The native vegetation in the parklands is classified as low mallee woodland and is home to a nationally endangered species of orchid – the Halbury Greenhood.

Halbury locals, Graham and Judith Lawrie, have been parkland site carers since 2000.

“We have had many people, including school students, help us over the years, but it’s a big job.”

TFL hopes volunteers will join with the Lawries who maintain the area for bushwalkers, bird watchers and orchid enthusiasts to enjoy.

Volunteers will not only help protect the orchid, but protect the parklands from invasive weeds such as bridal creeper, soursobs, African boxthorn, prickly pear, millet grass, sparaxis, chasmanthe and various species of succulents.

Volunteers don’t need experience to work at the site, but it is recommended to undertake the training provided.

“As there are many different species of plants and weeds in the parklands, to be able to maintain it properly,

ABOVE: Graham Lawrie amongst Desert Senna and Sea Box and RIGHT, inspecting Pterostylis Robusta, normally found more often in coastal areas. – PICTURES: Lisa Redpath. it is really a necessity nowadays to be trained,” said Graham.

An introductory bush regeneration workshop is being held in Clare on Saturday, August 17, where interested people will learn about local vegetation in the area and practical steps you can take to help restore it to health.

All the equipment you need to maintain

the parklands is also provided, and you only need a few hours spare each month to become a bushcare volunteer.

Plus it’s a great way to get outside for a breath of fresh air and some exercise.

National scheme aims at chemical security A national code of practice for “chemicals of security concern will now operate in Australia.

The voluntary code was developed to help business prevent potentially dangerous chemicals finding their way into the hands of terrorists. It contains practical information about how businesses can assess and take steps to reduce their chemical security risks State Minister for Industrial Relations, John Rau, this week welcomed the launch.

“Of the 40,000 chemicals approved for use in Australia, authorities have identified 96 chemicals that are of security concern,” Mr Rau said.

“The code focuses on 11 of the highest risk chemicals that can be used to make explosives.

“This includes commonly

10 www.plainsproducer.com.au

available chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide, nitromethane and potassium nitrate.

“The code applies to businesses involved in the import, manufacture, transport, storage, sale, or use of chemicals –whether that be in a factory, a shop, a laboratory, on a truck, or online.”

The Code forms part of a national strategy to increase chemical security within industry to reduce the risk of those chemicals being diverted for terrorist purposes.

The code was a collaborative project developed by federal, state and territory governments and key representatives from the chemicals industry.

NEWS v District n Councillors approve project allowing Wakefield Regional Council to assist ... but not without some debate!

Road upgrade to help Gilmac Les Pearson reports: WAKEFIELD Regional Council will team up with local hay exporter, Gilmac, to upgrade Wedding road, near Balaklava, as part of a project to help alleviate traffic issues to the company’s site.

Gilmac approached council to request a 50 per cent contribution to upgrade the councilowned road.

About 100m of Wedding road will be sealed beyond the current Gilmac entrance, totalling a little more than $100,000.

“What they’re looking at doing is making a return loop and sealing about 100 metres up the road,” WRC infrastructure services manager,

GILMAC’s hay processing facility south of Balaklava, showing Wedding road (centre) and Traeger road. This file picture was taken last year as a new shed was constructed.

David Hassett said.

The return loop will be constructed on the Gilmac site to prevent trucks lining up on Wedding road and improve traffic flow

on the recently expanded site (see separate story).

Council’s share of the project would cost about $53,000.

As a result, four pro-

end ‘bottleneck’ HAY exporter, Gilmac, will undertake a huge upgrade of access roads to its Balaklava site in a bid to bolster traffic flow and alleviate a bottleneck issue on Wedding Road, the main route to the site.

The project will involve sealing a further 100 metres along councilowned Wedding Road, which received 50 per cent contribution support from Wakefield Regional Council (see separate story).

The extra length in the road will accommodate two new access points to the Gilmac site.

The first access point will be the new entry to the site, about 250 metres closer to the Traeger Road intersection than the current entrance/exit point.

The second access point will be the new site exit, about 100 metres past the current entrance/ exit, which is why the extra sealing along Wedding Road is required.

In between the two new ac-

cess points will be the return loop, complete with new separate weighbridge and multiple hay testing points.

“We have very good turnaround times currently, but this will make it even faster. Although export volumes for the season from South Australia have been reduced overall, the Balaklava hay plant will ship 98 per cent of last season’s hay before the new crop is made around mid October,” Mr Heaslip said.

“With the good growing conditions so far this year we are expecting to receive a large volume of hay in the new season, these upgrades will greatly assist in smooth and safe deliveries.”

While Wedding Road is owned by council, Mr Heaslip said the company was happy to assist with the cost required to seal the extra 100 metres required to complete the new loop.

Plains Producer, Wednesday July 31, 2013

Gilmac expects a big hay season this year, says site manager, Mark Heaslip.

“We will benefit from having a better road and council should benefit in the long term from not having to maintain it every six months,” he said.

“From Gilmac’s point of view, we’re very happy working with WRC and appreciate their support with our project.

“We have a very good relationship between council and us.

“With the bigger season coming, we’ll also be looking at the possibility of employing more people, which is great for the local community.”

Funds distributed as Owen CWA closes Owen Country Women’s Association (CWA) branch has officially closed, following its AGM in June.

Retiring president, Helen Hocking, said it had become unviable to run the branch anymore.

“Sadly we have had to close the branch, but we know CWA will keep on thriving with the enthusiastic members who remain,” she said.

Owen branch was officially opened on October 17, 1946, with the first meeting in the supper room of the institute.

Fourteen years later, after much fundraising, a room was built onto the institute, for the sum of $2000.

The group has achieved many successes with craft and floral work at group, division and state exhibitions.

As membership dwindled and no pianist was available, the group’s active choir became obsolete.

“Numbers have declined, and due to the ageing membership and lack of interest in holding office, it was proposed we close the branch,” said Helen.

“Hopefully some of our members will respond to a need to join another branch elsewhere,” said Helen.

Remaining monies from fundraising activities by the group were distributed to various town facilities, and to Mary Walker House at Kent Town.

suggesting council find other ways to fund the Wedding road upgrade.

“In relation to the funding of this, council is looking at removing Elizabeth street, Florence street and Pinery street from the current road maintenance program, and reseals of Blake street and Francis street in Balaklava and reconsider them for the capital works program in the next financial year,” Cr Pain said.

“Over the last few months, we’ve heard how our roads have been deteriorating and the need to maintain them, yet here we are, taking roads out of the program for management.

“I don’t have an issue with Wedding road being upgraded.

“Is it time we look at selling an asset, such as Everard Central (Waste Transfer Station) or the house on Scotland street, so we’re not taking works

out of the current works budget and deferring them to the next financial year?”

“My concern is we’re taking them out.

“We’ve identified these roads as requiring some work and now we’re saying we should put them on hold for another 12 months.

“To take those roads out of the program makes a mockery of what we’ve been talking about for the last three months.”

WRC chief executive officer, Cate Atkinson, said selling assets could be an option if council moved that way.

“We’re happy to look at look at selling those properties or trying to speed up their sale…and then put these roads back into the program, should we get the funding, if that’s your desire,” she said.

Central Ward councillor, David Lamond,

queried the impact on the roads earmarked for deferral.

“Two reseals come off, when would they be resealed if they are left in the program?” he asked.

“It would be anticipated that it would have been about October or November, we would look at getting the reseals done, with preparation works prior to that as well,” Mr Hassett responded.

He went on to add Wedding road would be upgraded closer to the Christmas period.

The time issue was a concern for Western Ward councillor, Darryl Pain.

“Not only may we lose the suggested roads because of the costing but what about the time?

“How long is this going to take and will it affect other works?”

Southern Ward councillor, Rodney Reid, said it could go either way.

“I think a key point is where it says to undertake the project and amend the 2013/14 capital works program accordingly,” he said.

“I like the fact it says ‘amending the program accordingly’, because of all sorts of circumstances that may come up.

“We are committing ourselves to the job at hand but not committing ourselves at this point in time to knocking out the work on those other streets.”

Council opted in favour of taking on the Wedding road project.

SPORT v Football

Two Wells in runaway win • From back page Two Wells were without co-captains, Ned Seccafien and Tallan Leighton, while Josh Osborne also missed.

Lee Allmond starred all over the ground.

“With Ned out, we played him through the middle and he would go forward for five minutes a quarter or so,” Thomson said.

“It was the best game he has played at the club for some years.

“Just with his fitness and ability to get the ball at half back but also follow it into the forward line.

“He was very disciplined at the stoppages, which was a bit of a flaw in his game when I arrived at the club, he was very much a one-way player but he’s added

that level to his game now.”

Andrew Hardiman jagged a season-high nine goals, playing deeper in the forward line rather than working too far up the ground.

“We’ve told him to stay at home as we’ve got enough midfielders to get the footy down there,” Thomson said.

Khan Leighton, Simon Feast and Michael Abdilla rounded out a host of good performers for the Roosters, along with Tim Hines (three goals) at centre half forward, usually a defender.

“That was just as a reward for playing so well in the backlines lately,” Thomson said.

Cluse was again left to pick up the pieces from yet another second half fade out.

“We’re frustrated that we’re unable to do it for the whole

game and we’ve tried so many different things to counter that,” he said.

“The preparation hasn’t changed but we’ve given players different things to focus on each week.”

Tom Forrest is probably a smoky to take out the HWE best and fairest this year with another solid game, while Adam and Andrew Turrell were solid once again.

“Adam and Andrew were good but maybe that’s part of our problem, they spend too long in the middle and we can’t chop them out for a break,” Cluse said.

Justin Cicolella again led from the front, while Travis Sharpe defended well and Sam Baker booted three goals in a decent effort on an otherwise dark afternoon.

Rams still in good form Final score virginia 18.19 (127) d BALAKLAVA 12.5 (77) Best: Virginia - C.Howell, B.Robertson, C.Stronach, B.Wanganeen, A.Johnston, A.Bascombe Balaklava T.McPharlin, L.Guy, B.Michael, D.Storic, L.Pearson, J.Michael

REPORT: Les Pearson VIRGINIA continued its dominant form with another big win, this time over Balaklava at Virginia on Saturday.

A four-goal to none first term set up victory for the Rams, who led at every change in the 50-point win.

Virginia coach, Joss DenEngelse, primed his charges for a big effort in the tackling department.

“We knew it was a big game for both sides so we came into the match keen on applying plenty of tackling pressure for the full four quarters,” he said.

“I think it was outstanding on the weekend.

“We’ve been good in that area but we’ve got to be able to sustain it for longer.”

After kicking the first

two goals of the second term through Caleb Howell and Chris James, the Rams looked like breaking the game open but Balaklava hit back to kick five for the quarter and breathe new life into the match.

Brendon Niklaus looked ominous in the Virginia forward line but Balaklava’s Luke Guy started to win his fair share of contests and the Peckers went into half time with renewed belief.

“To the boys’ credit, they hit back when Virginia looked like running away with it,” Balaklava coach, Stuart Lamond said.

“We had a few decisions go against us that directly hurt us on the scoreboard too, which never helps.”

Virginia grew the lead to almost six goals at the final change before finishing with a solid final

quarter to seal the match.

Brad Robertson was brilliant, racking up touches across the defensive half of the ground, while Caleb Howell’s five goals stood out in a beston-ground performance.

Howell was somehow overlooked for the State Country team on Saturday.

“I was very surprised as I was planning for

him not to be playing,” DenEngelse said.

“It put a bit more pressure on him to become a four-quarter player and he’s risen to that.

“Our movement from defence is getting there as well.

“I’ve instructed both Robertson and Ben Russell to work hard back in defence and pick up those 10 kicks that will take your stats from 30 to 40 touches.

“That’s why we’ve tried to set that up.

“We’re still making little mistakes and will need to get that right.”

DenEngelse didn’t play, coaching from the sidelines.

“I’m looking to get the side settled before the finals and get the rotations right, which I think I have been getting a bit wrong lately,” he said.

“I also probably overloaded the players with information at the start of the year, just through my own inexperience, so we’re trying to go back

to some things we tried to focus on earlier in the season.

“I really think this side feeds off of a challenge.

“If it is a final and that situation in the match comes along, it’s certainly a good quality to have.”

Barry Wanganeen and Corey Stronach were also important in the win.

“He (Barry) hadn’t been training but we got him back out there now as he has that leg speed we really need,” DenEngelse said.

“(Corey) has plenty of class that kid and loves taking the game on.

“He will be a great player in the future.”

For the Peckers, Todd McPharlin kicked three goals and was arguably second best on ground behind Howell.

“Todd has continued to build his form over the past few weeks and is showing the class he started the season with,” Lamond said.

Guy kept Niklaus to four goals, an outstanding effort, while Brad Michael and Simon Nankivell were also strong in defence.

“I was pretty happy with the efforts of our back six,” Lamond said.

“Luke has a few scalps to his name now, including the top three goal kickers in the league over the last three weeks, which is a credit to him.”

Dean Storic and Justin Michael battled hard from the midfield.

The loss puts finals almost completely out of the equation now but Lamond was adamant his team wouldn’t end the season on a whimper.

“We’ll be out to win our remaining matches and try to ruffle a few feathers before the end of the year,” he said.

IT’S not every day a team kicks 18 goals and loses by 47 points but that’s exactly what happened in Hamley Bridge’s win over United at Hamley Bridge on Saturday.

Shane Hanson returned to form with eight goals for the Bombers, while Koby Ettridge continued his good season, with six for United.

“It was a free-flowing game for the most part and the most pleasing thing from our point of view was it was the highest score we’ve kicked for the year,” United coach, David White said.

“We had a number of unavailable players, so I was pleased with the way the lads played the footy.”

The game started with a swag of goals kicked at both ends, the Bombers piling on eight while the Tigers added six themselves in a rapid-fire first term.

REPORT: Les Pearson “They got a few easy goals but we were also scoring well, so it was a matter of trying to sustain that and to go on with it was satisfying,” White said.

Hamley Bridge coach, Ash Barnett, felt his team was in relative control of the match for the most part.

“From a spectator’s point of view, it was probably good to watch,” he said.

“Considering the rain we’ve had, Lyall Haynes did a great job on the oval.

“If perfection is 100 per cent, it would have been at 90.”

While the Tigers were able to score well, the Bombers continued to stack on goals in response, opening a six-goal break at the final change.

Both teams scored

Adelaide Football Club

four goals each in the last quarter as the match eventually tapered out.

“They were kicking four goals and we were kicking three, we were never quite there,” White said.

“We’ve relied on Koby a lot this year and he kicked six on Saturday, but we would usually only end up with nine or 10 goals for the match.

“To have a reasonable spread of goal kickers was good.

“We were a bit undermanned and as a result, our defence was also undersized.

“Hanson is hard to stop when he gets going and we had some trouble matching up (Kirk) Heberle, for a bloke that size he has good pace too.”

Barnett said the Bombers rotated players in different roles throughout the match.

“We probably tried a few things with different players to see how they responded,” he said.

“Some worked, some didn’t.”

H a n s o n ’s g a m e showed signs of the forward regaining some touch.

“He’s not back at his best yet, probably around 80 per cent, which is good as there is plenty of improvement left in him,” Barnett said.

Heberle booted five goals from half forward,

while defender, Ash Natt, went forward again.

“He’s been moving well and starting to get a bit more fitness up as well,” Barnett said. “(Justin) Zanandrea is a bit the same, also just working out how Adelaide Plains footy is played but his last month for us has been great.”

While booting 24 goals is great, the Bombers still conceded 18 against a team not noted for its attacking prowess this year.

“It was probably the nature of the game really and I don’t really read too much into that,” Barnett said.

“I don’t take too many negatives out of the match but there were plenty of positives.”

One of those positives was the return of Luke McCabe, the 36-year-old former Hawthorn back pocket and Central Districts premiership player showing great signs.

“He’s a local boy, arguably a favourite son for the club and highly credentialed with 100 plus AFL games, there’s not too many players like that lying around,” Barnett said.

“It’s great to have his hardness at the ball and his experience, they’re both clichés but they’re true about him.”

White said the game style on Saturday was

similar to how he wanted the team to play week in, week out.

“It has been something we’ve talked about and looked at from the start of the year, was that play on, run on type of football but often, we go back into our shells,” he said.

“I think the lads were encouraged by the fact we were getting some results from it.”

Heath Pym was brilliant for United once again.

“I would say it was the best game I have seen anyone play this year,” White said.

“He has been good all season but Saturday was exceptional.

“I would have loved to have seen his statistics.”

Cameron Faulkner also backed up Pym’s efforts.

“Cameron does a lot of the grunt work but he got a lot more clean footy and when he does that, he can be a lot more damaging,” White said.

“He also managed to kick two goals, so I was pleased with that as well.”

With the end of the season nearing, White indicated the club would be speaking with players in coming weeks to sign them up for next year.

“It will be a good opportunity to sit down and have a chat with the players to see where they’re at,” he said.

HENRY Ploumidis kicks away for Virginia in Saturday’s senior colts game at home.

APFL sons feature in SA Country victory • From back page “The slippery conditions of the oval and that type of weather actually really worked for us,” Lubcke said.

“We concentrated hard on eliminating their exit points and the lads did it to a tee in the first quarter with a lot of pressure acts.”

Bruggemann played a vital role up forward with star goal kicker and best on ground, Johann Wagner (eight goals).

“Angus played really well and became a hit up forward across half forward and higher up on the wing,” Lubcke said.

“Joel was right at home at that level and the more he plays there, the better he will get.”

It was Bruggemann and Montgomerie’s first time playing in the state country team.

“We deliberately changed a lot of personnel this year in anticipation of the carnival next year,” Lubcke said.

“The guys took their chance and showed they were more than capable of playing at that level.

“The side played like a club side, not a rep side, which was something we really pushed for.”

Securing the double chance still on Bombers’ agenda

THE Bombers will need to keep an eye on Two Wells ruckman, Simon Feast, this weekend when the two sides go head to head at Hamley Bridge oval.

Hamley Bridge v Two Wells THE ledger between these two finalsbound teams sits at one-all for the season and with top two aspirations still in the pipeline for both sides, there’s plenty of impetus on the end of this cracking encounter.

“We’re looking forward to it,” Bombers coach, Ash Barnett said.

“We beat them the first time around and then they got one back on us when the players weren’t 100 per cent switched on, mentally.

“But that first win we got we played really well to beat them.”

Securing the double chance will be on Hamley’s agenda but they will need to keep a close check on veteran ruckman, Simon Feast, while the fleet-footed Two Wells midfield could test the Bombers for pace.

“They’ve got a lot of little blokes that can run through the middle that you can’t let loose,” Barnett said.

Tom Would is likely to miss this week through injury, while Stuart Gregory should return.

Ruckman, Matt Armstrong is a 50/50 proposition to play at this stage.

The Roosters also look like they’re hitting a reasonable patch of momentum.

“I’m quite happy with the way we’re coming along and now we’ve got Hamley Bridge at home, which is as big a test going around at the moment,” Two Wells coach, Mark Thomson said.

“It is one-all against Hamley Bridge this year and they look like they have a full squad now.

“They will be keen to secure second spot but if we think we can definitely win.

“Mathematically, we can still make the top two, so all we can do is win.”

He felt it was important to hold the Bombers out of their forward line for long periods of time.

“If you can stop their free-flowing game, they become very vulnerable,” Thomson said.

Les Pearson previews round 15 APFL matches Virginia v United VIRGINIA can secure itself a top four spot with a win over United this weekend.

The Tigers come off a disappointing but somewhat confidence-boosting loss against Hamley Bridge on Saturday.

United coach, David Cluse, was more than aware of the potential danger of Virginia forward, Brendon Niklaus.

“They’ve got the big forward, so it will all be about cutting down their supply to him,” he said.

“We’ll need to apply more pressure around the ground.”

Defender, Simon Schulz, played well on Niklaus last time around but he is unlikely to play, overcoming injury.

“We will see how he comes up but our side should predominantly remain how it was on Saturday,” White said.

“If the ball gets down there, Niklaus is a danger, no matter who is on him though.”

Virginia coach, Joss DenEngelse, has plenty of respect for the plucky Tigers.

“They’ve always challenged us for some reason, although fitness tends to let them down in the second half,” he said.

“I think they’ve been unlucky to have only won two matches this year.”

DenEngelse has his focus firmly on finals and is keen to have his team executing the game plan they have worked on all season.

“We’ll work on some better structuring and improving again,” he said.

With a reasonably clear injury list, the Rams are building towards another tilt at the title but there’s nothing the Tigers would like more than to knock them off coming into the latter stages of the year.

However, with a few players still out, they might not have the depth required to sustain a four-quarter effort against a hard-running Virginia team.

HWE v Mallala AFTER two hefty defeats, HummocksWatchman Eagles now host the league leaders, Mallala, at Lochiel.

It has been a horror run for the Eagles after the bye, playing finals contenders, Virginia and Two Wells in previous weeks.

Regardless, HWE coach, David Cluse, again felt his team could challenge the Magpies.

“We look forward to that again and we didn’t do too bad against them last time,” he said.

“We’ve tried a few strategies against them and we’ll try some more.”

Belief and confidence from the Eagles will be key, while the likely return of Leigh O’Donohue and Shaun Light will bolster a team struggling for depth in recent weeks.

Ash Lockwood is an unlikely starter, work commitments keeping him out of the team lately.

Mallala coach, Steve Lubcke, returns from Perth after a successful SA Country campaign looking for a sunny day on the back of three weeks of wet weather footy.

“Hopefully we get some dry days again, fingers crossed,” he said.

While the weather was an unknown factor, Lubcke was aware of HWE’s potential to snag a handy break and go on with it.

“They’re still dangerous, like all sides in the competition this year,” he said.

Lubcke has maintained solid standards and work rates on the track.

“You don’t back off now, this is the crucial time of the year,” he said.

There may be a few different players used in unusual positions in a bid to improve the team’s options heading into finals.

“We have been rotating blokes around a bit anyway, so we will be looking to dabble a bit without losing structure,” Lubcke said.

BALAKLAVA golfers, Julia Hoskin and Cherie Taylor, won the Foursomes compeition in the Bronze Plate, held at Minlaton last week.

Balaklava set to host prestigious golf event Balaklava Golf Club has been officially awarded the 2014 Bronze Salver event as part of Golf SA Women’s Country Week.

The three day event will take place from July 22-24.

Women’s Country Week is divided into four handicap ranges, with each range held in different regions of SA each year.

In 2014, the events will be held as follows Silver 0-18 at Wallaroo, Bronze Salver 19-24 at Balaklava, Bronze Shield 25-33 at Port Augusta, and Bronze Plate 34-45 at Bordertown.

Ladies competing in the Bronze Salver event at Balaklava will play

two days of individual stroke competition, followed by a Foursomes (pairs) competition on the final day.

The prestigious event is expected to attract more than 120 women to Balaklava, which is a real coup for the club, and will also be a boost to local businesses.

A number of local women travelled all over the countryside last week to compete in the 2013 Women’s Country Week.

Two Balaklava golfers, Julia Hoskin and Cherie Taylor travelled to Minlaton for the Bronze Plate, and while not winners on their “solo” rounds, the pair won the Foursomes together on Thursday.

A1 APNA review with Merridy Manuel

Several APNA netballers were enjoying tropical weather this weekend, leaving their team mates to struggle on without them. Thankfully, the rain stayed away and there were some big wins. Hamley smashed Long Plains by 34 goals, Hummocks doubled Two Wells’ score and Balaklava walked away 13 goals ahead of Virginia.

Hamley Bridge 72 def Long Plains 38 Two of Long Plains’ regulars were busy

sunbaking in Bali, leaving their team to tackle the top side. Long Plains coach, Michelle Doherty, wasn’t surprised by the result and was impressed with Hamley.

“Lee Barnett definitely showed our young squad what it is to be a quality A1 netballer,” she said.

Lee was named best player for her club.

“Longies were always going to struggle without the experience of Jane McBride and Emma Laintoll,” continued Michelle.

“Mary-Jane McArdle fought hard all game.

“Leah Tynan played a terrific game at WD and was clearly our best.

“We will regroup and try to finish off the season on a positive note.”

Long Plains recruited Tango player, Mikaela Purdie, to fill in at goals.

Hopefully Mikaela will be a regular next season.

Hamley was missing Paula White, who wasn’t sunbaking but rather recovering from appendicitis! Hamley used the opportunity to promote a couple of younger players, Sophie Martin at WA and Kelsey Wedding at WD. Coach Lee Barnett said it was a great game and she was proud of the way the juniors played.

Quarter scores (HBLP): first 17-7, second 37-15, third 55-23, final 72-38.

SPORT v District ADELAIDE PLAINS NETBALL ASSOCIATION REPORTS

Balaklava grab a 13-goal win Virginia v Balaklava

A1: Balaklava defeated Virginia 55 – 42 at Virginia on Saturday after strong first and last quarters.

Balaklava started well getting some turnovers to jump to a six goal lead in the first. Vir 9 – Bva 15.

The second quarter was even although Virginia made some poor passes in the circle.

Vir 18 – Bva 25.

Balaklava increased their lead to 10 in the third however Virginia made some changes on court which helped in the circle. Virginia’s shooters capitalised and sunk their goals. Vir 32 – Bal 42.

Virginia started off well in the last. The defence were magic however some bad choices on passing into the circle was costly with Balaklava capitalising. Final scores Vir 42 – Bal 55.

A3: Virginia expected Balaklava to come out strong, and that they did. Virginia re-

plied with some great plays and shooting by Olivia Hoogenhout and Kendal Wanganeen. It was a close quarter, although Balaklava lead by five. Vir 7 – Bal 12.

Balaklava pushed the lead out to eight in the second. Virginia played hard and put out some great netball. Balaklava GA shot very well and kept her team pushing on strong. Vir 19 – Bal 27.

The Virginia girls came out firing in the third bringing the score back to two goals at one point. GA Kendall Wanganeen and GA Kaity Virgor’s combination was fast-paced for the defence to adjust. Simple errors let the Virginia side down slipping to six goals behind. Vir 31 – Bal 37.

The final quarter was up and down with both teams getting two to three goal run-ons. But Balaklava stayed strong with pushing their lead out to nine goals. Balaklava GA had a great shooting game. Backed up well by their GS. Virginia’s defence

No less than 28 fearless flailers took up their rust-spotted cudgels for the Terminus Hotel Trophy, a Stableford round, on Saturday. A Grade was won

by Doug Taylor with 35 points, leaving our glorious president, Ian “Ram Sales” Michael to claim second spot with 34 and Mark Loy to sneak into third with 30.

Merv Hameister smote a mere 26, visitor S. Bini came in with 24, while Bill Parkin elected to stay with the R&A and not play two comps on the one day.

Super-smiter, non-shearing legend Scott Michael (31) blitzed the B Grade with 31points and a bit of help from the good Count Bach, who enabled him to lump Geoff Leo (31) into second spot and then go on to aid and abet Wayne Nagle’s assassination of Graham “Emu” Ackland (27ea.) to nail third. Then came W. Berry (26), J. Michael (24), G. McKenzie (24) and W. Goudie (22 - !).

The C Graders were led home in fine style by Trevor “Ever Happy” Gilmour with a dominant 41 points. Kym McPharlin came in, sans sox, with 40 and Tania Matz clubbed a handy 32 to take third.

Left to fill in the gaps were G. Sonntag (31), I. Bastian (30), A. Henstridge (29), L. Masson (29), M. Liptrot (28), D. Addison (27), R. Campbell (27), P. Friedrichs (26), D. Trickett (25), M. Smith (24) and I. Jenkin (22). John Matz played for a handicap score, but just what that was you’ll probably never know, but it was “significant”, so be warned.

Birdies were blasted by Bill Goudie and Digby Addison on the eighth, while Nearest The Pins were held by Ian Jenkins on the third, Bill Parkin (eighth) and “Mar” Loy the 10th. Graham “Emu” Ackland got an NTP for his third onto the seventh, and so did Ian Michael for his second onto the 13th. Golfer of the Winter points went to “Trevour” Gilmour (6), Kym McPharlin (5), Doug Taylor (4), Ian Michael (3), Scott Michael (2) and the rest, one each.

I’ve searched high and low in “The Book” for any record of who won the Winter Shield but on this subject, that most worthy tome remains professionally mute. In desperation, I rang one of those involved and according to him, Bill Parkin won it “four and three, I think” - ‘suppose we’ll just have to take his word for it but of course, “well done that man!”

This weekend it’ll be a Stroke “first qualifying round” for the Club Championship, a putting round for the Eddie Dennison Trophy and the mad quest for the McCracken Ford Trophy. The entire Match Committee will “action” the starting of this huge event, while on the quieter side, young Greg Anderson will console the vanquished from the ivy-clad cloisters of his 19th hole chambers.

The Wenzdee comp ‘ad 21 players an’ was won by Trevor Gilmour (41points), with Greg Sonntag (40) second, Doug Taylor (38) third on a count back from Bill Berry (38), doesn’t matter. Then we ‘ad this lot still gettin’ it easy - D. Trickett (37), J. Michael (37), B. Stewart (36), R. Phillips (34), D. Gooldy (34), S. Davey (33), W. Gooldy (33), M. Hahesy (32), L. Masson (32), A.

was outstanding. Final scores Vir 40 – Bal 49.

A4: The first quarter was an even affair and was difficult to pick top players because all were playing well. Vir 11 – Bal 11.

Virginia stepped up the speed and held possession better in the second. Virginia’s C, Cheyenne Krejzlik was playing well and Balaklava GD, Ciara Guy was good in defence. Vir 27 – Bal 18.

In a high scoring game, the goal shooting percentage was fantastic by both teams. Vir 41 – Bal 28.

Balaklava out-played Virginia in the last quarter to come within six goals, but it was all too late. Best players were Jucinta Cram for Balaklava and Cheyenne Krejzlik for Virginia.

Final scores: Vir 46 – Bal 40.

A5: The first quarter was close, hard netball with good defence at both ends. Vir 8 Bal 15.

Virginia dropped off as Balaklava up intensity in the

No Birdies, but John Bell managed two Nearest to The Pins (fourth and 12th).

Twenty-eight players competed in Saturday’s Stroke competition, which was also the second round of the Club Championships. Sam Wedding, who is currently having time off from football, won the day with an incredible nett 60.

Sam, who had only started playing golf this year, shot an 81 off the stick!

Ian Rohde came in second with a nett 65 from Ian Goddard and Ian Ferguson 66, Roger Hahn 67, John Mitchell 68 C/B, all being prize winners, while others to do well were Barry Schwartz and John Mitchell 68, Len Usher, John Bell, Leigh Durdin and John Riley 69, George Dahlitz 70, Len Usher 71.

Hordes of spectators returned to the Owen Lakes last Saturday as the second and final round of the prestigious Captain’s Trophy got underway. Nine elite golfing celebrities and Bazz Harkness suited up to compete in one of Owen’s biggest golfing events. Conditions were problematic for some competitors, with a three club difference into the wind making judgment difficult. Top of the leader board going into the final was president, Peter Sullivan followed closely by Owens Nitro scooter rider, Bad boy Beaty. The two have competed against each other for years and often find themselves competing together in team events. President Sullivan stated, “With Len’s consistency and the way he is hitting the ball, he is

second. Shooting was accurate by both teams. Vir 15 – Bal 30.

Virginia played a better game in the third matching Balaklava with both sides adding nine goals. Vir 26 – Bal 39.

The last quarter was Virginia’s best for the game, but Balaklava were too strong winning by 12 goals. Final scores: Vir 35 – Bal 47.

U15: Virginia played well in the first with a lot of girls available for passes. Vir 6 – Bal 3.

Good shooting by both teams with Balaklava coming back strong with some strong defence. Vir 12 – Bal 9.

Balaklava were great in defence and fought hard for the ball. The teams were evenly matched with Balaklava taking a narrow three-goal lead at the last break. Vir 17 – Bal 20.

Virginia came out excellent in defence. Rebeka Garrigan was fantastic at GK. Virginia struggled with their goal shooting and went down by seven goals. Final scores: Vir 21 – Bal 28.

going to be hard to Beaty.”

Len took an early lead after nine as pressure took its toll on the president, who had a miserable seven Stableford points. But in constitutional style and to Sullivan’s credit, he managed to claw his way home with 25 points in the back nine and a 43 between the light globes to etch his way into the Owen history books forever. A disappointed Beaty was valiant in defeat, later saying in an interview, “It was a great back nine by Peter…he really lifted his game after a terrible front nine. I still don’t like playing with him, but no one else will.”

Congratulations Peter Sullivan, 2013 Captain’s Trophy winner.

The A Graders were back in town with Club Champion, Peter Freebairn and former captain, Bazz ‘Light Year’ Harkness hitting the scrape after completing their training camp in the Bahamas.

Peter, signing autographs in the car park, had a late start off the tee but did everything right from then on in, bringing his Labrador and having a blinding 74 off the collar and formidable 42 points to win the day overall. Peter later said that this score card was going straight on the fridge.

Then came Jake Harkness with 38, winning on a CB from Bazz Harkness, Les Hean 35, CB Chooka Ince, King Michael ‘The Only’ had a tidy 19 points after nine along with treasurer, Ian Freebairn 15 points, captain, Brett Fitton DNF. The Men’s Long Drive was robbed from Brett by Chooka Ince in a freakish drive down the first. Spectators were on their feet as the vice captain edged his drive past the corner that some are suggesting is the longest drive ever made on the first in Owen history.

No-one could get close on the eighth, with the Vets Long Drive going to King Michael the first. NTP on the 16th went to Captains Trophy winner, Peter Sullivan, with Birdie to follow.

Pro’s Approach on the ninth: Bazz Harkness with a classy second and regulation tweety.

Birdies: Bazz Harkness ninth and 10th, Peter Sullivan 16th, Peter Freebairn first, ninth, 13th, 14th, Mondays with Merv results: Les Hean, with that awful hat, won the day with 34 points, then came the Chooka Ince with 32, Bad Boy Beaty 31, president, Peter Sullivan with 28 CB, captain, Brett Fitton, and Merv Hameister 25.

Next Saturday is Stroke, tee-off at 12pm, Mondays with Merv Stableford 12pm. All welcome.

Andersons put all their eggs in one basket…

• Continued from last week If one knows anything about breeding you’ll realise that somewhere in there he would have had to come up with breeding stock to perpetuate this line; this he managed, successfully.

To maintain this, one must run a separate breeding flock, separate blood-line (that being an Australorp hen over which is put a white Leghorn rooster; this gives you a predominantly white cross bird with a few black feathers).

This is universally accepted as the most efficient and economic bird yet known.

Gov last year, Sarah McLeod sounding as good as ever on vocals and looking absolutely stunning.

If you could dream up a rock chick to have a crush on, McLeod would be the result.

This led me onto one of those wonderful YouTube journeys where you end up perusing videos for a few hours on end, taking all sorts of directions.

I ended up on some videos of Woodstock of 1999.

Woodstock was a huge music festival, which often spanned several days.

It was started in the 1960s and tended to be a drug-laden camping trip with huge bands of the time fronting on multiple stages throughout the week.

The 1999 Woodstock ended up getting quite violent, as it was held in a heatwave with exorbitant prices for food and water.

TRIPLE M is often maligned for it’s continual play of some terrible songs but one that caught my ear the other day put me in a good mood for a while.

A lot of youngsters these days wouldn’t remember or know of many Aussie 90s rock bands.

I’ve recently touched on Grinspoon, still as relevant today as they have been in years gone by but one band that has slipped well and truly off the radar is The Superjesus.

The Superjesus is an Adelaide-based rock group that was well and truly alive and well in the 90s, along with the likes of Grinners and Killing Heidi.

The song that brought all of that nostalgia back was “Gravity”, arguably the band’s most radio-friendly song and a huge hit of the decade.

The band recently reformed to play a gig at The

broodiness, disfigurement etc.

It is quite an achievement and, I repeat, very demanding of labour.

The bloodline that Brian Anderson did come up with eventually was considered one of the best birds in Australia at the time.

It became so that everybody recognised Anderson layers as the best known.

In 1977, Council approved plans for Anderson Chicks Pty. Ltd. to establish a hatchery in the former butter factory site at Balaklava but this never eventuated and the Halbury site eventually closed down.

book-keeping and recording.

The history of every bird for 14 years is held in hand so that one can actually pick up any one of those 3000 birds and go back 14 years and talk about its ancestry.

They were selected on characteristic of performance, the more valuable characteristics being their ability to live to a good age, produce an egg reasonably early in the laying period and produce an egg of good commercial value in size, egg shell quality, shape, the number of eggs laid, the weight of the egg at a certain age and, of course, all the undesirable features, eg.

From that point on, having established his breeding stock, he embarked upon a project of artificial insemination which was, in those days, unique; in a broad sense, he was probably the first in Australia to adopt the process.

We were, at that stage, artificially inseminating some 3000 birds. It is a job that requires an enormous amount of labour,

overflowed, things got burnt, people got raped, you get where this is going.

Anyway, all that terrible stuff aside, some brilliant bands fronted the stage, one of those being British outfit, Bush.

Bush was hugely popular in the 90s, mainly through hit songs such as “Little Things”, “Come Down” and “Glycerine”.

Often rock bands can sound amazing on albums and get onto the live stage and crumble, such as Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and Linkin Park.

Gavin Rossdale, Bush’s lead vocalist, delivers such an amazing performance of “Glycerine” live at Woodstock, I simply could not believe it.

His voice has to be one of the most iconic rock voices of all time but live, wow, it is just as good as in the studio.

Impressive stuff.

The Dog and Cat Management Act requires that if you own or keep dogs over the age of three (3) months of age, they must be registered with the Local Council.

It is an offence to own or keep an unregistered dog and a breach of this offence attracts an Expiation Notice which carries a fee of $80.

If your dogs are registered with this Council a reminder notice will be sent out automatically after the 1st July each year to dog owners. Any owners that have not re-registered their dogs with the local Council by the 31st August will be sent a further reminder letter informing them of their obligations and may be issued with an Expiation Notice. Please Note that any registration fees paid after 31st August will need to include a $20 late fee.

Council will this year again be using the services of a contractor who will be door knocking 3-4 weeks after the due date.

If any unregistered dogs, including dogs that have not been re-registered, are located during this door knock, the dog owner or keeper of the dog will be issued with an Expiation Notice and there will be further follow up action if these dogs remain unregistered.
