STAR OF THE NORTH

Wakefield battle begins FINALLY, the two major political opponents for the Federal electorate of Wakefield have a target date.

With Prime Minister Kevin Rudd’s announcement of September 7 as the date Australia will decide on who runs the nation, current representative, Labor’s Nick Champion, and Liberal challenger, Tom Zorich, are flat out campaigning.

Posters miraculously appeared last weekend throughout local towns and this week both men promised to be to be regularly seen in the Mid North area of the metro-rural electorate,

Mr Champion

COMMENT: Editor, Terry Williams

running from Salisbury in the south to Clare in the north.

Mr Champion has held the seat since 2007, now with a 10.53 per cent margin. At the last election in 2010, there was a 5.36 per cent swing to Labor – but the Liberal party believes it is in with a chance of stealing the seat, despite the resurgence of Labor under Mr Rudd’s leadership.

Mr Champion has always been a Rudd supporter, even when former PM Julia Gillard

challenged for the role. He has worked hard in the electorate over the past six years, but issues surrounding car manufacturer Holden and Mr Zorich’s “home town boy” image – at least in Gawler and the northern suburbs – could be a decisive factor.

Mr Zorich will have his work cut out spruiking the Liberal party line on Holden’s future, so it could be this factor, rather than anything in the Liberal-voting heartland beyond Gawler which could decide the result. A promised debate between the two will be interesting. n What they say in detail – Page 4. Mr Zorich

KING-SIZED FUN!

Eisteddfod again tops hit parade

The 17th Eisteddfod again beat its drum for Balaklava last weekend, with competitors and visitors descending on the town for two days of musical, theatrical, speech and drama performances.

And this group of “Lion Kings” (from left) Mikaela Tiller, Tori Lane, Olivia Loy, Chloe Lamond, Emma Lane and Lucy Dixon certainly had the crowd roaring with appreciation during musical theatre performances.

Entrants came from all over the state, with everyone enjoying the local hospitality and the chance to see what was on offer around the town.

Over three days from last Friday and including Sunday’s grand finale concert, there were more than 1000 performers in 12 disciplines spread across six different venues, with 120 volunteers assisting.

Balaklava Eisteddfod Society president, Bronny Cottle, hoped the whole town benefitted and thanked everyone for their continued support of the huge event.

‘Kingpin’ gone, but Vater’s will carry on AS a self-made businessman and definitive family man, Saddleworth’s Allen Vater forged a reputation as an extremely hard worker with an abundance of ambition from an early age.

The patriarch and founder of well-known agribusiness, AW Vater and Co, grew up on a share farm at Saddleworth and left school aged about 12 or 13.

He passed away late last week, aged 85 and is survived by wife, Doris, and five children, Roger, Jill, Kim, Rick and Tania, who all joined the family business.

“As a family, we were very fortunate to have spent some quality time with him before he passed,” Kim said. “We will carry on, although I’m not sure how it will go without the kingpin holding everything together.”

Allen spent his early years cutting wood and making charcoal at Hamilton, a small siding between Kapunda and Marrabel.

He also picked fruit in the Riverland with Joe Hodgins, the pair demanding contract payment in lieu of wages, as they believed they were able to pick more fruit than others throughout the day, and did so.

It was his links with the Riverland that eventually led to the formation

Saddleworth and farming lose a legend with death of A.W. (Allen) Vater Les Pearson reports: of the family business established today.

Allen started a transport and grain business by buying and selling chaff and oats and transporting them to the Riverland and back, also loaded with wood and stumps.

“When he bought his first truck, he had no money and had a monthly repayment of 50 pounds to make, so he had to work like hell,” son, Kim said.

A rail strike meant Allen was suddenly inundated with work, keeping on the road for seven weeks straight and slept in front of his truck.

He built up 1000 pounds in that period but in the process, wore out his first truck. The merchandise arm began in 1957.

While Allen was on his travels he took the opportunity to supply farmers who were isolated and unable to easily purchase goods.

“In one sense, he was a pioneer in the grain industry as one of the first people to trade peas in the area,” Kim added.

“I don’t think he ever had a plan, things just flowed but one goal he did have in life was to buy the share farm, Greenhills, where he grew up.”

Allen bought the property in 1972, where eldest son, Roger, lives now.

Buying the farm allowed him the equity to borrow money to expand his business.

It has since grown into one of the largest dealers of agricultural products across several major lines in the state. In 2010 AW Vater & Co was inducted into the SA chapter of Family Business Australia’s Hall of Fame.

“From an early age, he always had a drive for success in a business sense,” Kim said.

“He always knew how to do a deal and was fair in the way he left something in the deal for someone else.

“I’ve never come across anyone so good at doing numbers and figures in their head.

“He liked to pay his bills on time.

He was never late paying a bill.

“He was prepared to do anything, knew how to work hard and turn it into some dough. “He was never one to show his wealth off, he was never flashy, yet very generous.

“I think that’s why he made such an impression on everyone he met. He always gave them the time of day.”

Allen will also be remembered for his commitment to his family, which went well beyond the business.

“Anyone who knows us or will be at the funeral would understand how family was very important to

him, as his number one priority,” Kim said.

“We all just really respect him for what he’s done. Make no mistake, being involved in a family business can be hard work but no one would deny when it comes to family, we pull together like no others, we’re very strong on that.

“Our staff have been fantastic, as well as our two sisters, Tania and Jill but particularly Jill, she really made a difference with his quality of life and health towards the end.”

Kim also expressed his appreciation for the efforts of Riverton GP, Michael Voin, in caring for his father in the latter stages of his life.

Allen’s funeral will be held at 1pm on Monday at the Saddleworth Lutheran Church, followed by a private burial.

A public wake will be held at the pavilion of the Saddleworth Recreation Ground.

Great work draws second nomination

Award win for Auburn educator AUBURN Primary School teacher, Sonja Marchant, has been awarded a Commonwealth Bank Foundation Teaching Award.

Sonja personally received $2000, and Auburn Primary School received $10,000 to invest in its financial education program.

She was one of 15 teachers from around Australia to win the award, which recognised her outstanding commitment to developing financial literacy at the school.

The awards are designed to recognise and reward teachers who build students’ financial literacy, and improve money management skills of young Australians.

Sonja has big plans to extend

the school’s current kitchen garden enterprise.

Her students have developed a school brand and designed labels for the produce they make from the harvest of their garden.

“The students are learning to calculate costs and profit margins, maintain stock records, produce advertising and keep profit and loss records,” she said.

The program was the brainchild of principal, Mark Vincent, who had similar program running at his previous school on the West Coast.

“The garden was built in 2011 and the Stephanie Alexander kitchen built in early 2012,”

As part of the Community Achievement Awards, Wasleys Primary School SSO, Belinda Pringle, has been nominated for the State Career Achievement Award, one of eight categories in the awards.

Mrs Pringle was announced as the Excellent School/Preschool S u p p o r t S t a ff Member of the Year at the SA Public Teaching Awards in October Belinda Pringle 2012.

Belinda is focused on creating opportunities for students and their families, including Pedal Prix, City to Bay Fun Run, organising a band and choir, excursions and cultural events.

She has created positive relationships with parents and local community members, and has literally built the school’s new garden beds and kitchen spaces in her own time, enabling the school to become a Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden school.

Children with dyslexia will benefit from Belinda’s involvement with DAGBAGS, a group which is currently writing an accreditation process for schools in SA to use to become a Dyslexic Aware School.

Judging of these awards takes place on August 28, with three finalists in each category invited to attend a Gala Awards Dinner and Presentation evening on November 1 at Glenelg.

The Commonwealth Bank will give a $2000 Everyday Account to each of the eight category winners.

‘Look at my record’ Towns hit by

POLICE NEWS

Les Pearson reports on the September 7 election:

EXPECT to see or hear from incumbent Member for Wakefield, Nick Champion, a little more in coming weeks, after the Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, announced the date for the September 7 Federal election on Sunday.

Mr Champion was in Clare on Monday and believed he would be up in the country end of the electorate even more in the near future.

“I always do a bit of campaigning in the country and I’ve spent my first day of that in the Mid North,” he said.

“I’ll be out and about.”

Champion will be out and about, but ‘taking nothing for granted

The date of a formal political debate between Mr Champion and his primary challenger, Liberal candidate, Tom Zorich, is yet to be set but Mr Champion is eager to schedule it as soon as possible.

Playford Civic Centre is the likely venue for the debate.

Mr Champion felt he had some solid

n ADVERTISING FEATURE KAREN and Steve Ravesteyn in their new shop.

YOU WILL BE HOOKED ON THIS NEW TWO WELLS STORE:

Fresh from the sea IF you love your whiting, enjoy the odd oyster or are partial to a prawn, the new Two Wells Fresh Seafood store is the answer to all your wildest dreams.

Steve and Karen Ravesteyn opened the new business about a month ago and the response has been great.

“It’s been good, we’ve received a lot of local support from amongst the community, so now we just need them to keep coming back,” Karen laughed.

Steve was a commercial fisherman for almost a decade and was keen to stay close to the industry.

“He always loved fishing, so rather than go back out fishing again, we thought we would try the retail market,” Karen said.

Fresh whiting, prawns, oysters, snapper and garfish are just some of the

many lines available, with bait supplies also in stock for the local angler.

Frozen and smoked products are stocked as well. The garfish, silver whiting and prawns are proving popular.

“We’re also happy to order fish in for people if they want to call a day or so ahead. Bulk orders are welcome too,” Karen said.

In a bid to go as fresh as possible, Two Wells Fresh Seafood has contacted local commercial fishermen to buy direct from the sea.

“We’re looking to supply locally sourced fish where we can,” Karen said. n IF it’s the freshest seafood you’re after, give Karen and Steve a call or drop in to Two Wells Fresh Seafood, open Tuesday to Friday 9.30am to 5.30pm and Saturdays, 9.30am to 1pm.

runs on the board over his opposition.

“People can look at my record of delivering projects to the local community and how our national policies can help the area,” he said.

“Whether it is the pipeline at Balaklava, the Gawler bike trail or even the potential of the Bowmans Intermodal site, as far as regional development goes

we’ve done a really good job creating a bit of leverage to attract investment in the area.”

New chemotherapy beds in Clare and Gawler were also mentioned by Mr Champion as achievements for Wakefield in his recent tenure, as well as the steady rollout of the National Broadband Network.

“I’m proud of what we’ve done,” he said. That said, Mr Champion was more than aware of the fact his fate is in the hands of the voters.

“I never take anything for granted,” he said. “It’s up to people to make their judgement about me.”

Zorich ‘ready’ LIBERAL candidate for Wakefield, Tom Zorich, believes he has a solid grasp on the issues facing the electorate ahead of the Federal election.

“I’m excited, prepared and ready to go for the election on September 7,” he said in a supplied statement.

“It’s great to finally know the date. The people of Wakefield can make a change to this great country of ours.”

Based in Gawler, Mr Zorich has been travelling the region in recent months, speaking with communities throughout the district in an effort to get a better understanding in the northern end of the electorate.

“Since being preselected over 12 months ago I have visited every corner of the electorate, talking to people on the ground, businesses and other organisations,” he

Tom Zorich

said. “Their passion for change excites me.”

Unemployment, particularly the large proportion of jobless youth in Wakefield, stood out as one of Mr Zorich’s main campaign points.

“I believe I can provide a great voice and friendly ear to all the people of Wakefield,” he said.

“I am passionate about reducing the record unemployment levels that our electorate has seen under the Labor government.

“Having more than a third of young people in the electorate unemployed is unacceptable.”

He also believes he has every chance of pulling off a win come polling day.

“Having worked closely with my Liberal Party colleagues over this time, I believe we have a great team that will provide stability in government and real hope, reward and opportunity for the people of Wakefield,” Mr Zorich said.

“As a businessman and family man, I know how important it is to reduce the cost of living and the cost of doing business.

“This will be driven through eliminating the carbon tax to put more money in people’s pockets to help drive the economy further.”

thieves

POLICE across the Yorke Mid North Local Service Area are investigating several break-ins reported to them over the last week and are seeking any information to trace the thieves.

In Balaklava, power tools were taken after a shed was broken into on Gwy terrace sometime over a three-day period last week.

Electrical items were also stolen from a house on Gwy Terrace, which was broken into sometime over the same threeday period.

A residential property on Burra Road, Saddleworth, was entered after a door was kicked in sometime over a period of several days. Computer accessories were taken.

Breaks were also reported in Peterborough, Napperby and Port Pirie.

On August 1 on Dawkins Road, Lewiston, a house was entered and safe opened with an amount of cash stolen.

Police urge the public to mark their valuable property and record all details of the items.

Identifiable property is more difficult for thieves to dispose of, and if caught in possession of the stolen item the marking enables police to quickly establish the owners’ details.

There are four effective ways to mark your property: engraving, ultra violet pen or other permanent means, or data dots.

Thanks for great local service Two Wells

We moved to Virginia 18 months ago and have found everyone here so helpful and happy, and we enjoy the semi-rural atmosphere.

A couple of weeks ago, my husband went to fill the car up with fuel.

After filling up, he went to pay and the attendant advised him of the cost of petrol.

Petrol? My husband realised he had put petrol in our diesel car. Luckily he hadn’t started the car.

My son and husband pushed the car to the side of the service station, where it was left overnight.

Steve Allan’s Mechanical were called and even though he was busy, Steve said to bring the car in the next day.

My husband and son pushed the

car (almost) to Steve’s workshop, with help for the last stretch from Steve’s workmen.

Only a few hours later, we received a phone call saying the car was fixed, at a minimal cost too.

If you need any work done on your vehicles, please don’t go any further than our own backyard!

Not only is Steve a local, but he looks after you and has lots of expertise.

I believe in shopping locally and supporting all local businesses, as that is how our community will thrive.

I only buy my shoes from Virginia Sole Savers, and wouldn’t get my cakes from anywhere but Goldie and Marko’s cafe. Thankyou, and well done Steve and co – you are legends!

... and here’s more good news

Last week I blew a tyre on the Wakefield to Auburn Rd and a lovely lady stopped to help me, but as I needed an “allen key” type tool to access the wheel nuts, and we couldn’t locate it in my recently-purchased second hand car, she took a photo and asked her husband to come and help me.

In the meantime, I decided since I wanted to change the wheels anyway, I would use the screwdriver I had to

“prise” off the wheel nut cover. As soon as I did this, one of the guys from Goodyear, Balaklava, pulled up and changed my wheel for me so I wouldn’t have to get dirty.And then … the lovely lady’s husband drove up to check if I was OK. I really thank these wonderful, caring people through the Plains Producer, because it’s times like these that restore my belief in humanity.

Sometimes you say something, then suddenly realise you sound just like your parents.

OMG! You realise you are getting older, and quite often, more tired and less patient!

Do you complain about more things and struggle with technology?

Is the print in the paper and books getting smaller, so you now need glasses, and then proceed to misplace them?

Do you require an afternoon siesta, or fall asleep after one glass of wine or when watching television?

What about forgetting people’s names, or what you went to the fridge for?

Yes, we are getting older. Oh well, just think of it as another day closer to the pension!

But all is not lost. If you forget “real” names, just make up one, and say it’s a new nickname!

Some more nicknames have been clarified!

Many years ago, back in the early 1970s, (when I was just a baby LOL), Balaklava local Graham “Emu”Ackland, his brother, and a large cohort of friends, attended a long weekend trots meeting at Whyalla.

After the meeting, the group dropped into the “local” for a few quiet ales (as you do) and watched a show on the black and white television, which featured a silly man doing the emu walk.

Feeling brave, and equally as silly, Graham showed everyone in the front bar his own emu walk.

His brother then called him “Emu”, which has stuck with him ever since.

He’s even known by family members as Uncle Emu and is now Poppa Emu to his grandchildren! Classic.

Shane Lawless from Whitwarta, was nicknamed “Nudge,” stemming from his days racing go-karts when he’d “nudge” other drivers out of the way.

Perfumed ’Pies

Apparently two B Grade footballers had to wear guernseys which had been washed, but not dried properly before being packed away, (by their team manager), resulting in two very smelly guernseys.

Needless to say, the two players in question, Ben Edwards and Sam Irish, tried in vain to cover up the smell, but to no avail.

(And they wondered why they didn’t have an opponent for the whole match!)

The team manager has thought of a plan to keep them happy when

they play Balaklava this week.

He’s going to spray them with a sexy perfume – Seduction in Black for Ben, and White Heat for Sam. They might attract more than a close-checking opponent!

BCA president, Kelly Bickle, (at right) presents part of the committee’s proceeds to Bizy Chicks’ Purdie Barr, Kirstyn Rundle and Roshanna Bull.

The concept involved several smaller businesses setting up their own ‘mini-shop’ within a vacant retail premises.

One of the Pop-up shop organisers, Purdie Barr, was thrilled with the first pop-up shop event.

“It went really well, we were all happy with how it all worked,” she said.

Between 300 and 400 shoppers swept in and out throughout the day, with the busiest period during the morning before cold, wet weather, dampened the crowd in the afternoon.

“We had lots of positive feedback from shoppers, who were rapt with the quality of stalls and products available,” Purdie said.

“A number of retailers had their best takings for a day, or got close to it.

“Hopefully we’re onto something but we will have to wait and see.”

The Pop Up Shops will be held on the first Friday of each month, with the next two coming on September 6 and October 4.

“We have lots of ideas but how to implement them, time will tell,” Purdie said.

Proper portions pivotal In pets, as in humans, obesity is a common problem.

It is estimated that 25 – 40 per cent of the pet population is obese, although some suggest at least 70 per cent of pets are overweight or obese.

Issues related to this include diabetes, arthritis, skin problems, respiratory problems and a shortened life span.

If you have an overweight pet, it is important to figure out why the pet is being overfed.

Food doesn’t equal love.

Food is good nutrition and a necessity of life.

Love is play, attention, and pets.

Instead, pet owners are encouraged to base the feeding amount on the pet’s weight, body condition score and exercise level.

Stick to a routine diet.

NEWS v Balaklava

Reading adds up, with help from your friends BALAKLAVA High School students created a pop-up reading circle in the gazebo at the town Triangle last week to celebrate Literacy and Numeracy Week.

During the pop up reading circle, BHS literacy co-ordinator, Kerry Williams, read “Rosie and Herman” by Gus Gordon at 2pm to coincide with the Read for Australia event, where students around Australia were encouraged to read this book all at the same time.

Ten excited Balaklava High School students were also involved reading to the Balaklava Community Children’s Centre

(BCCC) and childcare children.

Children from the community were invited to participate in the event via Facebook.

The concept was designed to increase awareness of Literacy and Numeracy Week and encourage children of all ages to read.

The high school students engaged with the younger children, reading them a number of interactive, fun books.

There was a real buzz happening in the reading circle as both the older and younger kids had fun reading together.

“The kids were cute,” student,

Kate Wilson said. “The kids were co-operative and listened and talked about the story,” Karsia Jagiello added.

When asked about whether she enjoyed the experience Kayla Gouddie said, “It was good to get out and about and have some fun!”

Jess Helps added to this by suggesting it was good to be part of the community.

“It was noisy, but fun,” Jake Wallis added.

Mrs Williams passed on her appreciation to BCCC staff and children for participating in this event.

MAYOR WELCOMES VISITORS

THE Balaklava High School community has been fortunate to have hosted eight students from Japan recently.

They have thoroughly enjoyed themselves both at school

and with their host families.

A farewell dinner will be held in Balaklava for the students tonight.

The success of this program is mainly due to the families who

take on the challenge of hosting.

The school passed on thanks to the Butterfield, Heaslip, Langdon, Mahony, Parker, Nipperess, Studham and Wehr families this year.

n AMG trials on-line accreditation:

Ag safety website clicks with farmers A LOCALLY instigated ‘one stop shop’ website for safety accreditation specific to the agriculture industry was launched last week.

Bowmans grower, Paul Daniel, recently developed the new company, Ag In Compliance, which hosts the Ag Induction Manager program on the company’s website, providing a safe, secure and efficient solution to customer work health and safety (WHS) inductions, filling a void for agriculturally-based companies.

Through an online training and compliance platform, Ag Induction Manager informs and instructs producers and carriers of the risks and requirements for entering agricultural workplaces to deliver or receive goods.

The website is expected to host a number of site safety training and accreditation programs for a huge range of companies within the grain, hay and fertiliser industries.

Ag In Compliance general manager, Marc Cooney, said Ag Induction Manager was being trialled by Bowmansbased lentil and grain trader, Australia Milling Group (AMG).

“We’ve gone with what you would call a ‘soft release’ – and as far as timing goes, we’re in line with where we expected to be at this stage,” Mr Cooney

said. AMG has contacted growers and carriers to direct them towards carrying out the site safety accreditation, hosted on the Ag In Compliance website.

“There’s been plenty of activity since then and while there hasn’t been any major issues, there have been some things we’ve addressed, which is the intent of the exercise, to iron out those creaks and groans while the website is live,” Mr Cooney explained.

AMG’s trial of the online accreditation site ends on Friday, with growers and carriers using the site encouraged to get on board.

Mr Cooney said Ag In Compliance representatives promoted the online training platform at the recent Grains Industry Conference in Melbourne.

“The early feedback we’ve had from growers is it provides an industry-wide solution and makes sense to have it all in one centralised service,” he said.

The next few months are pivotal for the company, with discussions scheduled with several major companies to get their training programs online in time for the coming harvest season.

“We’re very conscious of how fast the hay season and harvest is arriving on us, so we need to get companies familiarised with the site and what it can provide them,” Mr Cooney said.

T

he 17th Balaklava Eisteddfod ended on a high note, with an outstanding grand finale concert in the town hall last Sunday.

The concert was opened by local State MP for Goyder, Steven Griffiths, whose supporting comments were greatly appreciated by all present.

The finale concert was the culmination of two days of musical, theatrical and speech and drama performances, with entrants coming from all over the state.

Comments received from visitors from all three days of the event, were positive, with everyone enjoying the friendliness of the locals.

Visitors enjoyed local hospitality and the chance to see what was on offer around the town.

Courthouse Gallery reported 82 people visited the Balco Art exhibition on the weekend, and visitors were amazed at the high quality artwork on display.

Over the three days, there were more than 1000 performers in six different venues, 12 disciplines (sections) and 120 volunteers assisting.

Crowds appreciated the high quality performances while performers relished the chance to perform in front of a crowd.

Balaklava Eisteddfod Society (BES) president, Bronny Cottle hoped the whole town benefitted from the event, and thanked everyone for their continued support of this huge event.

“BES thanks our sponsors, our committee, the 12 hard working convenors of each discipline and their teams, parents, teachers, accompanists, volunteers, the appreciative audiences, and the wonderful performers, for their support – we couldn’t do it without you all,” said Bronny.

FRIDAY The Eisteddfod started on Friday, with the town being inundated by school students, keen to perform in a range of singing and musical sections.

Crowd numbers were up for all sections this year, with everyone enjoying the high quality performances.

Schools entered bands in Stage, Concert, Rock sections, and instrumental and vocal ensembles.

School choirs enjoyed being “workshopped” by adjudicator, Peter Webb, in the Choral Workshop section.

As in previous years the choirs sang for the adjudicator and then had a chance for their songs to be broken down and worked on.

This is a highlight for the children as well as the teachers, with many saying the feedback they received from Mr Webb was very helpful and they look forward to going back to school to work on their improvements.

For the first time, Whyalla Combined Schools Stage Band made the trip, and were so impressed, they said they would be back!

There were 12 concert and stage bands from 11 different schools and colleges competing, with almost every orchestral instrument imaginable played.

From one end of the state to the other, Encounter Bay’s Lutheran College Performance Band competed.

The students left Encounter Bay at 5am to compete at 10.20am, which was a great effort.

A highlight in the concert band section was a very emotional performance by Maitland and YP Schools Concert Band, which performed a very moving medley from Les Miserables, moving many audience members, who had recently seen the movie, to tears.

The inclement weather gave some bands a headache as they had to tune and warm up, and keep their

Balaklava Primary School’s Junior Rock Band dressed up for their performance of “Rock through the Ages,” which earned them the overall Champion Rock Band title.

Horizon Christian School’s Percussion Ensemble was the winner of the Senior Instrumental Ensemble, and their performance at the final concert on Sunday raised the roof!

St Peter’s Girls School Vocal Ensemble, looking pretty in pink and black made a colourful and musical contract to Rostrevor Boys in their red and black.

The girls won the Champion Trophy, while Horizon Christian School won first place in the junior ensemble section.

SATURDAY Saturday was the day for solo, duets/trios and personal ensemble competitions in different disciplines.

Musical Theatre once again had

some great costumes, from mermaids and feathers, to Christine from Phantom of the Opera. Local girls, Lucy Dixon, Chloe Lamond and Emma Lane won the Junior ensemble.

Local Kelly Bickle, looking very green and “Wicked,” was awarded Musical Theatre Solo Champion.

Former visiting specialist Dr Munday, enjoyed coming back to Balaklava, but this time it was to see his son Nicholas perform with two friends, “A Very Tricky Song,” in Musical Theatre Ensemble Open section, of which they won the Championship.

Kelly Bickle was the overall championship winner of the solo Contemporary Vocal (amplified voice) section and also the Revolution Vocal studio award, winning a $450 voucher in lessons.

There were 34 entries in the five solo sections, and seven in the ensemble section.

Balaklava Eisteddfod Society’s (BES) inaugural president, Di Spence, accompanied her granddaughter, Emily Crocker, who played violin in the Novice instrumental section.

Adjudicator Alison Rosser enjoyed all performances and was very encouraging in her comments and advice.

Highlights included seeing a wide range of instruments including violin, guitar, piano accordian, clarinet, cello, B flat cornet and alto saxophone, played by talented musicians, who presented an assortment of music genres. Songs played were wide ranging from “Pink Panther”, Guns’n’Roses’ “Sweet Child of Mine” to Adagio, Christmas carols and a Clarinet Polka.

Roger Manuel Memorial Award went to Jolie Miller on alto sax, who also won the Open Solo Section.

Jolie Miller played the alto saxaphone and won the Roger Manuel Memorial Instrumental Solo Champion Trophy, along with $500 from the Roger Manuel Memorial Fund, which was a huge surprise for her.

Playing piano, Jolie also accompanied a rival competitor in the Open section, her father, Keith playing a spine tingling piece on his B flat cornet.

Jolie also sang in the contemporary vocal section, against another instrumental solo competitor, local

Jed Rowland. All performances for the day were of a high quality, and the large crowds at every section enjoyed them all.

Twelve year old star, Ben Smith, took out the open piano solo Champion trophy, and also won $500 from the Roger Manuel Memorial Fund.

He comes from a very musical family, with his sister Emma winning three instrumental sections playing the piano accordion.

A new addition was seen at piano in the Novice section! A piano pedal extender was used for a small girl so she could reach the pedals.

The piano duet champion, sisters Emilia and Lydia Tokareff, played ‘ March’ by Tchaikovsky and were recipients of the Grace Anders Memorial Trophy, plus a money Prize from Grace’s nephews Colin and David Hennig.

Adjudicator Diana Harris OAM was very impressed with the standard and acknowledged that some had chosen extremely difficult and complex pieces and performed them very well!

The open solo was won by Ben Nicholls from Lochiel, who is taught by local music teacher Di Spence.

Speech and Drama section at Hayfield Plains saw some motivating and entertaining speeches and performances.

Entrants from SAPA (SA Performing Arts) at Gawler were welcomed, and their efforts were rewarded with a number of trophies heading back to Gawler, including Speech and Drama Championship Trophy, sponsored by Balaklava & Districts Lions Club, which was won by Joe Russell, with his excerpt from “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” by Douglas Adams.

There were increased numbers in the Drama discipline, but fewer in Public Speaking.

Announcer Geoff Gardner kept the crowd amused and should’ve won an award for his entertaining witty ad libs!

Lively and enthusiastic Vocal section announcer, Don Bubner, delighted in all the contestants he was welcoming, and in each piece of music he was introducing, including a number which were hard to pronounce in German!

As the morning went on, the German names got longer and longer until he conceded defeat, threw up his arms in despair, and handed the sheet (with two full lines of German) to the adjudicator, Guila Tiver – who graciously, and most melodiously, helped him out.

SUNDAY The finale concert on Sunday at the town hall, compered by MC Gary Wilson, once again entertained a huge crowd out to enjoy a wonderful performance by the combined mid north primary schools Festival of Music Choirs, and Champions of the various disciplines from Friday and Saturday, including Contemporary Vocal Ensemble Champions, well known to locals for their many wonderful previous performances, Chloe Bremner, Leah Harford and Jasmine Garcia, who delighted the crowd with “I won’t give it up.”

Three vocal finalists from Saturday disciplines competed on Sunday for the Adelaide Plains Male Voice Choir (APMVC)Scholarship, judged by Barbara “Peggy” Naughton.

Michaela Gillard, Jade McFaul and eventual winner, Olivia Sanders-Robinson, sang two songs each - one classical and the other musical theatre. Olivia won a $500 scholarship, presented by APMVC Darrel Schutz.

Eisteddfod patron, Mayor James Maitland presented certificates to the combined primary schools choirs, before the choirs sang three pieces to close the concert.

Author tells of writing journey Rising star Jo Spurrier will be guest author at a Clare Writers’ Festival event in Riverton in August.

Jo, from Adelaide, who has a Bachelor of Science degree, says she turned to writing because people tended to get upset when scientists made things up.

“Although Jo writes in the fantasy genre the evening will be about her author journey and is another way of celebrating excellence in South Austral-

ian authors,” Festival committee member Nan Berrett said.

“Winter Be My Shield was only the second novel she had presented for publication after her first venture into writing had been rejected and she is attracting a

strong following for her work which has had great reviews.”

The second book in the series, Black Sun Light My Way was released on June 1 Jo Spurrier’s author talk will be held at Jules Café, Riverton on Wednesday, August 14 at 7pm (coffee and cake available).

It’s important kids get the best start in life they possibly can – parent group chair, Mark Pannell

New vision to help develop our children BALAKLAVA father of two, Mark Pannell, has been appointed to chair the group of parents looking to improve the early development of local children.

According to recent data from the Australian Early Development Index (AEDI), a higher percentage of children aged five or younger in Balaklava and surrounding communities were considered developmentally vulnerable in several vital sectors, compared to children of other districts.

A steering committee was formed a few years ago to address the issue, which has evolved into the new group, recently named ‘Our Community, Our Children’ (OCOC).

A high percentage of local parents now form the OCOC group.

Mr Pannell lives in Balaklava and has two young boys, aged four and five.

He took a strong interest in the issue and embraced the chair role.

“I think it’s important kids get the best start in life they possibly can,” he said.

“It’s an important aspect of kids’ development and sometimes you’ve got to step up in life and it’s good to be active in your community too.”

Mr Pannell was split on how to take the local developmental data.

“There’s always going to be a percentage of children who are developmentally vulnerable but I was surprised to see this area is further behind than others,” he said.

“At the same time, that can be misleading or misinterpreted, just through who was studied, the sample size, that sort of thing.

“At the end of the day, it’s something the government has invested a lot of money in initiating, so having a local group to follow up on it is important.”

Group communications officer, Dale Gathercole, said the group had established a vision; ‘working together to make a positive difference for young children and their families’.

Along with Mr Pannell and Mrs Gathercole, committee members in-

Les Pearson reports: clude Jo Michalanney, Lisa Veitch, Kerry Williams, Roanne Georg, Eliza Cottle, Teearn Fitzpatrick, Barb Rodgers, Natalie May, Julie Lawson, Skye Colley, Eleanor Burford, Narelle Michael, Sally Michael and Angela Battle.

Mrs Gathercole was thrilled to have the support of local parents on the OCOC committee.

“I think we will get the word out to more local families with the support of so many families, I think that will be a real strength of the group,” she said.

“It’s a good core of people we’ve got together.

“A key thing is parents are talking about it, getting excited about it and running with it.”

OCOC now has several objectives and goals in the pipeline, shared amongst various committee members.

They include advocating for the construction of a playground for children aged two and under, putting together an information resource for young families to refer to for contacts and support and a study into the benefits of grandparents being carers.

The group is also putting together a facebook page, while also lobbying for change facilities to be installed in Balaklava’s public toilets near the council building.

Mrs Gathercole was delighted to have Mr Pannell chair the group.

“It’s lovely to have Mark on board and we’re more than happy for people to attend future meetings, listen in to the conversation and get involved,” she said.

“We want it to be a welcoming group and we’re aware young families can’t always make full meetings but even if they want to attend half a meeting, we will cater for that.”

The next OCOC meeting is on August 19 at 7.30pm, to be held at the Balaklava Community Children’s Centre.

Funding boosts natural resources A NEW five-year, $6.8 million investment in the Northern and Yorke Natural Resource Management area will be used to significantly advance the region’s sustainable agriculture and environment priorities.

The money has been sourced by Natural Resources Northern and Yorke through the Federal government’s Caring for our Country (CfoC) initiative.

A $2 million sustainable agriculture project aims to give land managers innovative and best-practice knowledge and skills to reduce the effects of water and wind erosion.

The focus will also be on improving soil condition, increasing biological activity, countering soil acidity and reducing the risk from pest plants and animals.

Many of the region’s key grower and landholder groups will be directly involved as delivery partners and will be assisted by the regional Landcare facilitator.

For the sustainable environment project, $4.8 million will be available to improve

$6.8 million supports NYNRM soil and biodiversity projects

the management and condition of key environmental assets across the region.

This will be done by improving the condition and connectivity of remnant vegetation and management of native grasslands with a focus on improving the status of at least 10 nationally-threatened flora species as well as other significant species, as well as controlling feral animals and plants.

Community engagement will further be strengthened in collaborative opportunities for work on Aboriginal lands and education programs with school students.

Northern and Yorke NRM acting regional manager, Dylan Strong, said the funding was significant. ”As well as having a major impact on

Plains Producer, Wednesday, August 7, 2013

agricultural productivity and biodiversity, the initiatives will strengthen opportunities for community contribution,” he said.

“These initiatives have been developed through our Conservation Action Planning process and will help us reach our goals for NRM in the region.”

CfoC is a Federal initiative of the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Department of Environment, Heritage and Water and Department of Climate Change, with $450 million invested nationwide.

Federal Wakefield MP, Nick Champion, said the funding was a huge win for Wakefield, but also for South Australia with $75 million to fund local projects over five years.

“In Wakefield, this much needed funding will support the Northern and Yorke NRM Board to provide land managers with innovative and best-practice knowledge and skills and improve the management and state of environmental assets across the region,” he said.

For anyone and everyone CHAP EVOLVES TO EXPAND SERVICES AND CHOICE After 24 years of meeting the essential health and well being needs of rural residents, the Country Home Advocacy Project (CHAP), has changed its name to Country Home Services.

Country Home Services CEO, Erik Moen said the organisation had grown and matured to become a critical part of regional community service delivery, over more than two decades.

“We started with the vision that country people should receive the same level of home service as city people,” Erik said.

“Now we have more than 1000 clients across the Lower North, Wakefield Plains, Barossa, Gawler and Yorke Peninsula.

“We also have 30 employees across three offices in Nuriootpa, Clare and Maitland and 240 contractors.”

Mr Moen said the name was a reflection of the maturity of the organisation and a “coming of age”.

“I want to assure all our current clients that nothing else will change, only get better,” Erik said.

“The name change demonstrates our ability to adapt within the health care sector.

“We will continue to offer personalised, flexible home services for people seeking subsidised support.

“But the big improvement is that we are now expanding our services to everyone and anyone in the community,

PEOPLE v Balaklava

Dave will retire to his own ‘outdoor education’ We all know the saying “Old teachers don’t retire, they just mark time.”

After 36 years as a teacher, Balaklava High School’s Dave Cmrlec has called it quits.

Dave’s first teaching appointment was at Mawson High School (now Brighton High Junior School) in 1977, teaching Physical Education (PE).

He transferred to Balaklava in 1979 where he has taught PE, and since the mid 1980s, Outdoor Education, ever since.

Dave was also trained as a Maths teacher, but said he was more than happy just to be involved in outdoor and sporting subjects and activities.

One school sporting highlight was Dave’s badminton matches against students.

“My record is still intact – I only lost two sets to students, one to Andy Michael and the other to Dallas Hill – but I was about 55 then!” laughed Dave.

“I really enjoyed camps and excursions with the students, and always managed to get the kids home in one piece!” laughed Dave.

Dave has been involved in his local community since moving here, and has shown off his sporting prowess in many different sports.

He played football and at one stage, held a record for the shortest time played in a grand final – two minutes after succumbing to a knee injury!

Dave also enjoyed helping out with junior football when his son Jared was playing, and took on the position of treasurer for the Balaklava Football/Netball Club for three years.

Dave also played golf and was treasurer of the social committee, and played, coached and umpired basketball for Bulldogs.

Not only a talented hockey player in his younger days, Dave was (still is actually) a very good tennis player, despite some recent injuries and “old age,” and also played bowls and table tennis.

At a “mock” staff meeting at the end of Term 2, Dave was presented by a Timeline of his teach-

Louise Michael reports: ing years, put together by fellow staff members Karyn VonZieden and Sue Pratt.

Former staff members, including Barb Rye, Lee Thompson, Colin Bown, Jehad Rasheed, Craig Evans, Geoff Gardner, Tina Taylor and Julie Corcoran, surprised Dave by also turning up, and later joined current staff for a farewell dinner.

Dave has taught under nine principals, eight deputies, 18 other PE staff, and it was calculated Dave would have taught more than 3000 students in his 34 years!

“I got to meet different people and new kids every – DAVE CMRLEC year. It was always a changing environment, which was good.”

“It’s nice to see kids develop and grow up, then move on to bigger things,” he said.

And to his knowledge, Dave has not taught any more than two generations of family members!

“I’ve taught students, and then their children – but not their grandchildren.”

Dave hasn’t given too much thought about his retirement as yet, as he’s busy trying to ignore the long list on the fridge of things to do, left there by his wife, Cherie.

However, he will spend some time fishing, gardening, bus driving, and maybe later on, relief teaching.

“I think I’ve driven every bus route in the district at some stage. It was a good way to get to know where the kids live and your way around the district,” he said.

PICTURE: Lisa Redpath Dave, who is on leave until the end of the year, was farewelled by students at a school assembly at the end of last term, but will officially retire GOING fishing ... teacher Dave Cmrlec gets the gar line sorted out. Now all he needs is to find the fish. Tough job Dave, but someone has to do it! in January 2014.

It’s nice to see kids develop and grow up, then move on to bigger things

Building hope Horizon school’s mission to the Philippines rewards all involved A group of 14 from Horizon Christian School have returned after a life-changing mission trip to the Philippines to work with King Solomon Christian School International (KSCSI).

The group spent their school holidays teaching art and giving PE classes to students – and lots more.

Horizon prefect co-ordinator, Maureen Yeoward, said students supervised games at youth group, presented an Aussie Sunday service at church, visited the slum community and spent time with local families and painted their houses.

The group also went to a local farm and helped paint and prepare it for further work. The farm is going to provide much needed resources for the school.

“This school draws students from the local slum community,” Maureen said.

On behalf of the Horizon team, Maureen thanked the Balaklava school community, Swap Shop, and many local churches for contributions to the mission.

“Donated clothes and toys were taken to an orphanage where we spent a day painting and slashing weeds,” Maureen said.

“The children were delighted to receive a toy each that was ‘just for them’, and we were able to see just how much they will value that one gift.”

Community cash donations went to giving rice to families living in one of the slum communities in Manila. Some money also went to the school for a desperately-needed new vehicle.

Maureen said the team worked really hard.

“Our school and their families can be very proud of the work they did, and the message they shared with the locals we met,” she said.

“There are still a number of children who need sponsorship to be able to attend school.

“If you are interested in sponsoring a child for $40 month, please contact me at the school for more details “By helping one family, it also helps their extended family and their community as a whole.”

Horizon principal, Mike Clisby, who was a mission member, said: “It was such a privilege to support our students as they gave of themselves, shared God’s love, and had life-changing experiences while helping others.

“This again was a highly rewarding volunteering venture for our Horizon students.”

Year 12 student, Christopher Veitch, said: “It just makes you realise how lucky we are in Australia. We even take for granted simple things such as fresh air and space to run. One of the highlights for me was helping a man called Elmer and seeing how grateful he was to receive our help. The whole trip was just so amazing.”

Year 10 student, Chelsea McPharlin, said: “This was an eye-opener for me. To realise how we can make such a huge difference in people’s lives was pretty amazing. The testimonies they shared with us really touched me, and so did their faith in God.”

the 47 S88 wind turbines in one hour, will weigh over 16,000,000 tonnes

Now the heavy lifting takes place

Assembling the mighty wind turbines for the Snowtown Stage 2 wind farm is not that complicated, says TrustPower’s project manager, Jim Pearson.

“It’s just like a big Meccano set,” he says. “You just have to bolt it together.”

Well, it’s some Meccano set, with a lot of very big bolts: a total of 160 – 80 inside and the same outside, for each of the three tower sections.

And then it requires the biggest and strongest mobile crane in the world to lift all the parts into place – the Liebherr LTM 11200-9.1 all-terrain mobile crane, capable of lifting up to 1200 tonnes, supported by a “small” 500 tonne crane for the lighter bits and pieces.

There will be a lot of lifting carried out over the next 12 months before Snowtown Stage 2 is completed, with 90 towers to erect and a turbine hub height of 80 metres.

First the actual towers must be bolted

together and installed. The base tower weighs 74 tonnes, the mid section is 51 tonnes and the top section 23 tonnes.

Next step is to lift the 73 tonne turbine nacelle into position at the top of the tower.

Mr Pearson explains the three 10.2 tonne blades (which are either 49m or 53m long) are then attached to a 29.4 tonne rotor hub and the whole assembly, now totalling around 60 tonnes, is lifted as one unit and fitted to the nacelles.

Unlike Meccano, this is delicate and tricky work that requires two teams of specialist construction workers, each team comprising around 10 men.

“Once we get rolling we’ll be able to construct about three turbines a week,” Pearson adds, “depending on the weather. If winds go above 12m/ second – that’s around 42km/h – we have to halt lifting operations.”

All going well, he expects all the turbines will be in place by July next year.

Child care a priority

Hamley Bridge Medical Centre is focusing on families, and in particular, kids!

Staff will always see young children with urgent medical problems, and are happy to bulk bill children under the age of 16.

Parents should be aware of recent changes to the Childhood National Immunisation Program (CNIP).

According to the CNIP, children are due for immunisation at birth, two months (this can be given as early as six weeks), four months, six months, 12 months, 18 months and four years of age (this can be given at 3 ½ years).

A new combination vaccine has been introduced, Menitorix , which reduces the number of injections required at 12 months from three to two.

Also, a combination MMRV (measles, mumps, rubella, varicella) vaccine at 18 months has been incorporated to the schedule, providing full measles, mumps and rubella protection at an earlier age (the second dose was previously given at four years of age).

This means children turning 18 months now, will only require one in-

jection when they turn four to complete their vaccination schedule.

Immunisation is the safest and most effective way of protecting children and adults against harmful diseases before they come into contact with them in the community.

Immunisation uses the body’s natural defence mechanism to build resistance to specific infections, not only protecting individuals, but increasing the community’s level of immunity.

For information about lactose intolerance, food, fitness and dairy nutrients, call in to the centre for a Dairy Australia “Kids Good Health Recipe Book” and any Dairy SA brochures.

Brochures are designed to assist with the right mix of fuel and nutrients for growing bodies. Well nourished children have more energy, greater concentration and less illness. n For any health concerns or to make an appointment, please contact Jenny, Jo or Lisa at the centre on 8528 2070.

Mallala ‘machine’ excels REPORT: Les Pearson MALLALA slammed on 19 goals to none after quarter time to run out 121-point victors over HummocksWatchman Eagles at Lochiel on Saturday.

It was a remarkable result considering the rainy conditions, which continue to plague Mallala coach, Steve Lubcke, who is looking forward to some sunshine in coming weeks after a month of wet weather footy.

Despite the final margin, HWE started superbly and were up and about early.

“We started pretty well, which hasn’t really been an issue for the past three, four or five weeks at least, we’ve been starting matches brilliantly,” Eagles coach, David Cluse said.

Lubcke agreed.

“It was a very even first quarter and they showed they have the potential to be right up there with anyone on their day,” he said.

“We were slow out of the blocks and overused the ball a bit in the conditions.”

After refocussing on simplifying their game style, the Mallala machine took over.

“We talked a bit about the processes we didn’t go through, including making the contests and our front and centres,” Lubcke said.

They began to attack through the

centre corridor and an eight-goal second quarter was just reward.

“Our intent was far better and defensively, we were excellent, denying them first use,” Lubcke said.

“After quarter time, we improved around the clearances and were able to quell (ruckman) Adam Turrell’s influence as well.”

That margin continued to swell throughout the afternoon, despite the best efforts of the Eagles.

“We weren’t good enough in the end and our depth has been an issue all year,” Cluse said.

HWE had put a lot of planning into countering Mallala’s game style, of

building across half back and working the ball to the free player on the defensive side of contests.

“We drilled for that at the stoppages but we were unable, and in the end unwilling, to execute what needed to be done,” Cluse said.

“Their skill level in the wet was exceptional.

“They don’t miss targets by foot, whereas our kicking skills have been a problem this season.

“Our skill level falls away under pressure and the scoreboard has also been killing us in terms of when the numbers get out of hand, things really drop off.”

Lubcke somewhat unwillingly pointed out the difference between the respective squads.

“I’m not here to criticise other teams but they lack a bit of depth and we play a good style as well as our overall strength over every line,” he said.

“We also like to apply a lot of pressure to the opposition.”

Keeping a side goalless in three quarters of football is no mean feat, the Magpie defence outstanding on the day.

“Tim Cawrse did a great job on (forward) Cameron McKinnon, who I really rate,” Lubcke said.

Final score

Scott Hahn slammed on eight goals for Mallala and was extremely dangerous in the slippery conditions.

“I rate him highly and he would have kicked a lot more goals this year but he’s been spraying them a bit these days,” Lubcke said.

“He’s not just a wet weather player but it suited him with his strength at ground level.”

Both state country representatives, Joel Montgomerie and Angus Bruggemann, showed no signs of fatigue, named in Mallala’s best.

“With these rep and zone games, if the players get through unscathed, they come back on top of the world,” Lubcke said.

“Both look fresh at the moment and are physically and mentally on their game.

“Dan Feely was also very good scouting around and did a lot of good work across half forward.”

For the Eagles, Adam and Andrew Turrell again teamed up throughout the afternoon to be amongst the best players.

“They’re very good together at the contest and work together well,” Cluse said.

Justin Cicolella was superb throughout the damp afternoon, while Dustin Guthberg impressed in the midfield against key Mallala players, Jason Earl and Dale King.

“He played in the middle and was given a role, which I was happy to do as he sticks to it, so he will probably get another role this week,” Cluse said.

Strong start ensures victory for Virginia FIVE goals into a strong breeze during the first quarter proved decisive for Virginia against United on Saturday, the Rams running out 48-point winners in wet and windy conditions.

The Tigers opened the match kicking to the southern end, favoured by the wind, booting four goals to get proceedings under way.

Virginia coach, Joss DenEngelse, said to be able to outscore the opposition into the breeze was pivotal.

“If we didn’t start well, we could have been four goals to one down and it’s game on,” he said.

“The boys were a bit disappointed with their start though and I told them it was a great effort to be one goal up into that wind.”

The Rams added a further five goals to none in the second term to establish a strong 35-point lead at the main break.

It was one of two goalless quarters for the Tigers, who failed to score a major into the breeze.

REPORT: Les Pearson “I don’t think we like the northern end at Virginia as we haven’t kicked a goal to that end all season,” United coach, David White said.

The Tigers’ third term was arguably their best, slamming on five goals and closing the margin considerably, before late goals to Virginia maintained a 16-point lead at the last change.

White believed those late goals to the opposition ruined his team’s chances of victory.

“Just some silly decisions hurt us badly, but the ball movement was good for a lot of the match,” he said.

DenEngelse believed the Rams rallied well under considerable pressure.

“Just after half time, they had a quick burst and kicked three goals but the boys dug deep and held them out from there, which I thought was excellent,” he said.

“Our stoppage work

around the ground was brilliant and I would have thought we were well on top in the contested area.”

United were scoreless in the final term as Virginia strode away with another five goals to record a comfortable win.

“To win by eight goals in those conditions I thought was a real fourquarter effort,” DenEngelse said.

“Bec Galic’s tap work was excellent and the onballers fed off him all day.

“When you’ve got all your onballers up and going, you’re going to win most matches.”

Midfielder, Matthew Young was handy in the wet, while Ben Russell was a standout for the home team.

“He was electrifying on the weekend and at one stage, he had four centre clearances in a row,” DenEngelse said.

Speedster, Barry Wanganeen, is also beginning to string together some good form.

“I’ve coached Barry for a few years in the past at under 16 and under 18 level, so I was aware

we needed that pace up forward as he is fantastic hitting the contest front and centre at his pace,” DenEngelse said.

“He really should have kicked five as he missed two easy shots as well.”

Newly ordained captain, Caleb Howell, kicked four goals in a dominant display on the back of his leadership role.

“I’m seeing signs now, after he struggled with the leadership role at the start of the year, that he’s getting used to it,” DenEngelse said.

“I’ve seen some things he has done at training, which really shone out to me and it looks as if he’s starting to relish being the skipper of the Virginia Football Club.”

United will be wondering where their next win will come from after the bye this weekend, given their great endeavour has matched teams for periods despite being considerably undermanned.

“We played some pretty good footy but

APFL & NEFL Association Football Scores

maintaining it for four quarters was the problem, as it has been all year,” White said.

“Given where we’re at in regards to personnel, I’ve been happy with how we’ve been going the past couple of weeks.”

With 19 unavailable from the senior squad on Saturday, it was a depth tester for both grades.

“Twelve of those had played A grade at some stage this year,” White said.

In the absence of some

key players, others have stood up and grabbed their opportunity at the Tigers.

When Tyson Ettridge went down with a soft tissue injury in the second quarter, Brett Sharman was resilient in the ruck and battled hard throughout in trying conditions.

“Jakob Curnow, for the last month he’s played some consistent A grade footy,” White said.

“Sam Moltedo played well on Saturday and has got some confidence back

over the last few weeks.

“Jack Chapman played in defence in a chop-off role in front of the Virginia forwards and did it very well.

“I have encouraged him to play that role all year but he was great on Saturday, getting in front of the forwards to take marks or get a defensive punch in.

“He’s been a real improver over the year and could be the cornerstone of the United defence for years to come.”

Bombers in second • From back page “Tim started back but they were playing seven in their defence, so he was the one to go forward,” Thomson explained.

“He played forward in colts and he’s a pretty versatile player, kicking a few goals as well.”

Ben Spiteri’s courageous efforts in trying conditions were outstanding, named best player for Two Wells.

“He was the one who kept us in it all day, with four quality quarters,” Thomson said.

“He would put his head where people would be too scared to put their hands.”

Simon Feast put in a solid effort in the ruck, while Bryce Hart, Allmond and Seccafien

were other major contributors.

For Hamley Bridge, Thach’s four goals were vital in the wet conditions, while Malcolm Greenwood is running into some form, battling hard at the bottom of the packs.

“Our backline was good again and has been our backbone this season,” Barnett said.

“It wasn’t a day for key forwards but I wouldn’t have thought they had a key forward who ended up on top.

“I was happy with James Sullivan’s effort in the ruck and I would have given him line-ball honours against Feast.

“He’s available to train now and is starting to come into his own for us.”

SPORT v Football

Roosters v Rams derby will provide semi final preview Two Wells v Virginia WITH the ladder positions unlikely to change in coming weeks, this match is the probable preview of the first semi final on September 1.

A win for Virginia should sew up third place but more importantly, the Rams could gain a handy insight into their opposition ahead of the sudden death final.

“I think it will be another opportunity to learn as much as we can about our opposition, who we will probably be playing again in a few weeks,” Virginia coach, Joss DenEngelse said.

Virginia have been fairly convincing in recent weeks and DenEngelse is happy with how the team is travelling.

“Winning form is good form, so we’re going ok,” he said.

After a bit of extra work on the game plan recently, DenEngelse felt his team was hitting top gear.

“I think it was one reason why we have hit this patch of form, is the boys are starting to understand it a bit more,” he said.

“They can go away from things, so sometimes you have to get them to shift their focus back to where you want that focus to be.

“I couldn’t fault the way the guys have gone about it lately.”

For Two Wells, they will likely be without Ryan Hooper (osteitis pubis) and Tallan Leighton (hamstring) until the final round of the season.

A win would give the Roosters a handy mental edge come September 1.

“It’s always good to beat a side knowing you’re going to meet them again at some stage in the finals,” Two Wells coach, Mark Thomson said.

He suggested some different matchups will be used on some key Virginia personnel, including midfielders, Brad Robertson and Caleb Howell, as well as dominant forward, Brendon Niklaus.

“Big Nik always puts in a good performance against us,” Thomson said.

Balaklava v Mallala THE Peckers somehow remain a mathematical possibility to make the finals, pending the result of the Two Wells versus Virginia game.

A win over Mallala, however unlikely that may be, would keep that small finals flicker alive.

Balaklava in at the start of the season to beat Mallala, with the Peckers running out one-point winners in a thriller.

However, the Magpies absolutely decimated Balaklava at Mallala in their most recent encounter and the league leaders have gone on with it since.

Mallala coach, Steve Lubcke, said it would be nice to secure the top spot on the ladder.

“I think we need one more win to lock in the double chance, so we’d like to get that over and done with this weekend,” he said.

Ben Parish is still travelling and will miss, while Ben Moffatt and Matt Saunders were non-starters on the weekend against HWE. That said, the depth at the Magpies has been a strength this season.

South Clare BSR

“I was really happy we brought in Brett Start and Alan Sparks, who both played good games, which is important when you give your depth players a chance,” Lubcke said.

Balaklava could welcome back Derek Friedrichs to the team after a lengthy spell with a hamstring strain.

Todd McPharlin has been in stellar form for the Peckers in recent weeks as well, while Justin Michael, Lachy Michael and Dean Storic have impressed from the midfield.

How the week off has impacted the group will be of interest.

Rooster Tallan Leighton is likely to miss this week.

Ash Barnett, was eager to keep the Eagles at bay once more.

“We’ve had some good battles with them this year, so we will be keen to get the win on the board,” he said.

The Bombers have been smashed from pillar to post in recent weeks, heavy contested matches in wet conditions testing the resolve of the players.

Despite this, Hamley Bridge has come out on top of their opposition and shown great determination.

“Hopefully it will do us some good heading into the finals,” Barnett said.

“Knowing we can win the tight ones and play hard, tough football, is a good thing.

“It should come in handy for us.”

The Bombers have had a solid month or so,

with the senior squad starting to have some solidarity about it.

“We’re starting to settle our top 18 or 19, whereas six to eight weeks ago, we probably had 10 blokes fighting it out for spots,” Barnett said.

“Now, it’s probably down to five or six.”

James Frencken should be rewarded for his reserves form this week, while Sam Collings is a shot to return to the A grade.

Matt Good is probably two weeks away, while Tom Would and Matt Armstrong are 50/50 propositions this week.

Ryan Appleton is believed to be having the week off.

For HWE, the next generation of players needs to step up this weekend, with senior players like Justin Cicolella, Adam Turrell and Andrew Turrell all showing good form of late.

“We’ll also need improvement from the kids,” Eagles coach, David Cluse said.

He was aware the Bombers have an eye on September already.

“They’re going to come out tuning up for finals,” Cluse said.

“We’ll go in all guns blazing and keen to put up a good showing.”

The club has already begun looking to next year, with finals out of the equation.

“We’ve got some names and we know what we want, and need, so hopefully it all falls into plan,” Cluse said.

“For us, it is fair to say we’ll be looking at our deficiencies and working on topping those up.”

LACHLAN Michael has been impressive in the Peckers’ midfield of late.

‘Wells makes Hamley work for win Courtside

HAMLEY centre, Paula White, chases the ball in A1 on Saturday, while Two Wells’ Phoebe Schmidt is limited to the mid court.

A1 APNA review with Merridy Manuel

Unexpectedly, the closest game on Saturday was between Hamley and Two Wells, the home side finally getting ahead in the last quarter to win by five.

Apart from the third quarter, Mallala kept up with Hummocks, equaling their score in two of the quarters. A tense and physical game at Virginia, who beat Long Plains by 14.

Hamley Bridge 52 def Two Wells 47 It was thought Hamley was a shoe-in.

However, Two Wells dominated the game, taking the lead with a huge 17-goal second quarter.

Hamley fought back in the third to be only one goal behind at the last break. A huge defensive last quarter from Hamley kept Two Wells to just eight goals. Two Wells changed five positions at the last break, which possibly unsettled their team.

Whether it was the rain, the lack of star defender, Lee Barnett or Two Wells’ skill that made the difference, was anyone’s guess.

Lee admitted they were lucky to get over the line.

She decided the coach’s bench was warmer and drier than on the court

where she nursed her “old age injury”!

Leanne Tugwell performed well at WD, in her second A1 game this season. Best for Hamley was WA, Paula White.

It must have been coaches’week off, as Stacey Gameau wasn’t able to be at the game, nor was Mallala’s Courtney Kerr.

“The girls played their best for most of the match even in the wet,” explained Stacey.

“A few silly mistakes and tired legs let Hamley back into the match.

“I’m proud of my girls they once again showed they can take it to the top teams.”

Best for Two Wells was GA, Nicole Darling.

Quarter scores (HBTW): first 14-13, second 25-30, third 38-39, final 52-47.

Virginia 53 def Long Plains 39 A close game was expected between Virginia and Long Plains, but Virginia led from start to finish, extending their lead each quarter.

It was an interesting game, with the Virginian umpire speaking to both the Long Plains coach and a player. Long Plains coach, Michelle Doherty, said it was a frustrating game and it

was disappointing to see her players intimidated.

Virginia coach, Sherilee Matheson, said it was a great game played by both sides.

“Our defence was rock solid in stopping their shooters and our game plan worked in attack.

“They are a physical side and I commend the umpires for controlling the game.”

Centres from both teams won best player, Emma C Flanagan for Virginia and Long Plains’ Leah Tynan for the second week in a row.

Quarter scores (VirLP): first 13-11, second 26-22, third 41-31, final 53-39.

Hummocks 45 def Mallala 27 Hummocks are still in second position on the ladder, a spot coach, Sam Nicholls, would be happy with, enabling

them “to do the hunting and not be hunted” as they were this time last year.

Hummocks struggled to find their rhythm in the wet. Beth Reid and Sarah Young swapped positions in the second

quarter to try to change things. However, Mallala kept up, both teams scoring eight goals each. It was a wing defender’s game with Hummocks’ Sarah Young earning another best on court, as did Clare Bruggemann

for Mallala. The game turned in the third with Hummocks scoring 18 to Mallala’s measly three.

Apart from this quarter, Mallala would only have been three behind Hummocks as again they levelled scores in the last

quarter. President and A2 player and coach, Jayne Brown, helped out at WA for Mallala.

The most spectacular passage of play saw a classy Sam Nicholls’ face planted into the largest puddle on court.

Ashleigh Williams came on to finish the game off while Sam nursed her grazes wishing she was back in warm sunny Bali!

Quarter scores (HWE-Mal): first 11-8, second 19-16, third 3719, final 45-27.

Three games to go before finals! And what a fantastic weekend of matches ahead. A grand final rematch between the two top teams, Hamley and Hummocks at Lochiel. Third and fourth play each other in a semi final precursor at Balaklava, against Mallala. Virginia will be hoping to win points at Two Wells in a last ditch effort to get into the top four.

Games are at 1.45 pm.

TWO Wells shooter, Sharnie Kent, looks to pass in front of Hamley defender, Stacey Hewitt, in the A1 match.

Winner of Division 1 (in a stroke round) was Celia Douglas of Penfield with 79 off the stick, and runner up was Megan Button of Highercombe with 82.

Nett winner was Sharon Roberts of Burra with 72 and runner-up Reva Cullen of Waikerie with nett 74.

Division 2 was a stableford event, with Chris Hahesy of Balaklava winning with 40 points, Chris Reuter of Highercombe runnerup on 39, and two Kapunda ladies third and fourth, Carole Molloy on 37 and Marianne Daniel on 36.

Golf Balaklava

Last Saturday, inspired no doubt by the visual effects of our 255+ml rainfall total for the first six months of this year, 33 thermodynamic engines, propelled by food energy and egos ranging from the cosmic to the quotidian, sallied forth out across the greensward for our first qualifying round of the Club Championships, the Eddie Dennison Putting Trophy and the substantial McCracken Ford Trophy.

With an average handicap of just 9, the nine-strong A Grade field produced a count-back clash between Ian Michael (83/73) and Mark Loy (84/73), with our glorious “Pres” prevailing. Callum Michael (84/74) blasted his way into 3rd, leaving the rest to fill in the gaps W.Parkin (78/77), P. Thompson (89/81), M. Hameister (93/83), D. Taylor (96/84) visitor, all the way from Texas master Matthew Hunt (96/86) and W. Lokan (96/87).

With an average handicap of a pretty healthy 17.25, the B Grade gaggle coughed up a victorious Wayne Nagle (91/76), who showed Geoff Leo (98/78) a clean pair of army boot heels while John Michael (99/79) sailed majestically into a very dignified third spot. Then came S. Michael 994/80), R. Veitch (102/85), W. Berry (104/86), Ben Michael (102/87) and unfortunately, D. Rodgers, who suffered a frightful foot-failure after nine holes.

The massed ranks of the C Grade collective, boasting an average handicap of 24.8, was led back into the car park

by Tania Matz (94/71), leaving the good Count Bach to rule that Andrew Manuel (96/74) had played a far superior round than that of Trevor Gilmour (103/74).

Those who, therefore, played an aggravatingly average round were; L. Pearson (101/74), D.Trickett (97/75), P. Friedrichs (100/78), M. Bell (109/79), A. Henstridge (102/80), I. Bastian (111/82), D. Addison (103/81) and I. Jenkin (113/86). Playing for their handy cap (sic) were Brad. and Lachy Michael, Ryan McPharlin, Geoff Cowan and John Matz.

So, The Pres. drove home in his new bright orange Falcon GT, but he didn’t get one of the day’s “Biridies”. Geoff Leo did though, on the 10th, as did, on the 3rd, both Doug Taylor and Dean Trickett. Nearest The Pins were held

by Doug Taylor on the 3rd, Rob Veitch (8th), Geoff Leo (10th), Callum Michael (15th) and for his mighty third shot into the 2nd green, Ryan McPharlin. Golfer of the Winter points went to Ian Michael (6), Mark Loy (5), Callum Michael (4), Andrew Manuel (3), Trevor Gilmour (2) and the wannabees, one each.

This Saturday we do it all again for round two, with yet another grand parade of our magnificent Match Committee to get things underway in a highly efficient, professional manner while Geoff Spence will push the pies and pasties and market myriad micturants over the counter at the

tunity to showcase the course and club facilities.

“It’s like going to a pub and having a good meal with great service, and you go away talking to other people about it,” he said.

Hockey clare & district

The association will be having a reunion on August 17 to help celebrate the 30th anniversary of men’s hockey. The last minor round of the season will be played in Clare and any players who have had an involvement with the association are invited to attend. It is planned to have an old timers match, perhaps even using the rules from 30 years ago. While the women’s competition has been in recess for two years, any former ladies are welcome to attend as well.

There will also be a get together for tea at a local hotel on the Saturday night. For any other info please ring Adrian Nourse 0417 847 971.

It’s like a place in a storybook.

There are about 50 stout old trees running the length of the east verandah. They are mostly apple and plum but some peach, apricot and pears and, of course, grandmother’s fig tree.

neighbour, gave me a tip yesterday. She told me to put my bars of kitchen soap out to weather for a week, in the sun. “They’ll go a lot further,” she says. So I have a small regiment of soap bars lined up on the ledge. It looks odd but if it cuts down on my enormous bill, I’ll be delighted.

Now, I hear the draught horses coming in from the paddock.

When the men get to the gates, they loosen the harness and let the teams come home themselves, one by one. Such a pleasant sound, the easy jog, jog and the jingle of collars and hames.

The birds twitter drowsily above it all and I know it will soon be time for vegetable soup…

DEFENCE PROOF & EXPERIMENTAL ESTABLISHMENT PORT WAKEFIELD: LIVE FIRING RANGE WARNING NOTICE 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.

Double chance In-form Tigers United claims famous victory over Roosters Les Pearson reviews round 5 APFL A grade matches UNITED became the second team to roll the reigning premier, Two Wells, with a comprehensive 40-point win in gusty conditions at Long Plains on Saturday.

Andrew Hardiman came back into the Two Wells team, which was still missing Lee Allmond, Josh Osbourne and Brad Fitzgerald.

The Tigers came out the better team, slamming on 10 scoring shots to three but only registering two goals from all their hard work.

Two Wells failed to respond to the early wake-up call and United continued on where they left off, seizing a 21-point buffer at the main break.

United coach, David White, said scoring was tough at times.

“It was a tricky wind, it was fairly

blustery out there,” he said.

“A couple of shots the wind grabbed and dragged them away fairly late.”

Two Wells coach, Mark Thomson, could not believe the drop in standard of his team’s disposal.

“We were burning the footy from half back, so it was barely getting to the centre line,” he said.

“They could have been five goals up at quarter time, they played really well into the wind as well.

Ruckman, Tyson Ettridge, lined up on Two Wells danger man, Simon Feast, in an epic head-to-head battle.

“Tyson was charged with keeping a close eye on Feast, as we knew what he was capable of,” White said.

“This was the first week he was able to fully train after playing with a few niggles the past couple of weeks.”

Ettridge did a pretty good job, while his Tiger teammates enjoyed a freeflowing game style.

KOBY Ettridge marks for the Tigers in their goal third, ahead of Rooster, Ryan Hooper, in the A grade match on Saturday.

Greens in shape for the Balaklava Open

TOP golfers from the Mid North and beyond will descend on Balaklava this Sunday in pursuit of the coveted Balaklava Open title.

The 27-hole championship generally attracts a strong field and this year’s event has again assembled a strong field of hopefuls.

Balaklava Golf Club secretary, Scott Michael, said more than 60 entries had been received to date, with about 70 expected to play on the day.

The main local hope is Bill Parkin, who will be competing against defending champion, John Nairn, of Clare, along with Westward Ho pair, Mark Tappas and Craig Heffernan.

“Bill is an eight-time club champion, so my money would be on him,” Balaklava Golf Club president, Ian Michael said.

Several high quality entries have also been received from Tea Tree Gully, while Clare’s Kane Steel is considered one of the better chances of golfers from the Mid North.

Ian said the greens were in top shape and the course will be almost at its best, despite the wetter winter season.
