EPA ACTS AS appeal backfires on owner

The local Federal election campaign has toughened up, with Labor’s Nick Champion labelled a liar by Clare-based Liberal Senator, Sean Edwards, but the Wakefield MP refuted the claim ...

A BUCKLAND Park vegetable grower faces a six-figure clean up bill after about 7500 tonnes of industrial waste was illegally dumped on his land in recent months. Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) senior investigator, Tony Williams, said the landowner, who wished to remain anonymous, initially requested clean fill to help build up the height of his land. “He hasn’t been able to farm for the last few years here, because of the flooding,” Mr Williams explained. He saw it as an opportunity to start using the land again and build hard stand for his trucks and this all happened outside of what he wanted.” n Continued Page 6

Les Pearson reports:

FEDERAL Member for Wakefield, Nick Champion, has been labelled a liar by Liberal Senator, Sean Edwards, following Mr Champion’s claim he “ensured production” at GM Holden, Elizabeth, until 2022. Mr Champion made the claim in a letter he sent to residents across the Wakefield electorate last week. The comment sparked outrage from the opposition, Senator Edwards pointing out Holden’s suggestion it would wait until after Federal election to make a final decision on its future. But Mr Champion stood by his words. “I don’t back down from anything I’ve said,” he declared. “The Liberal Party is being fairly Sean Edwards cheeky, campaigning on uncertainty they’ve created.” Mr Champion pointed out the Federal government had invested $275 million to prop up production of new models at Elizabeth, including the Holden Cruze, while the Coalition intends on cutting about $500 million from public funding for the nation’s automotive industry.

Serving a hot beverage to chilly Port Lincoln Bash contestants (at right), Julianne Marshall, Sandra Lukin and Deb White, who are taking part in their Runaway Brides car, are Two Wells Red Cross members, Bev Sires, Mollie Frost and Joe Danielle.

Enjoying the Bash festivities are Ian, Matt, Helen and Lily Gameau of Two Wells. Cooking breakfast are Tim Wilson of Two Wells Scouts and Daryl Standley of Mallala Primary School.

hey came in all sorts of cars; they came in all forms of dress; they came with the common goal of having a good time! The 2013 SA Variety Bash kickoff in Two Wells on Saturday August 10 was a carnival-like event for the town, with close to 600 people flocking to the main street, despite the early hour, to check out the fun, colourful and creative costumes, as well as meet and mingle with the many inspiring Bash participants. Each vehicle was a story in itself, with hours and hours spent preparing and decorating the cars, and all with names reflecting the theme of their team. There was The Pirates, The Suits, The Brides and the Mad Hatters; Alvin and the Chipmunks, the Smurfs, Top Gun and even a couple of cars of Mexicans! ABBA and Robin Hood were taking part, as were the Beagle Boys, Where’s Wally, the Blues Brothers, MASH, the Fairies, Ned Kelly and his gang, and the Musketeers. They came from all parts of the state, near and far. Many were seasoned “bashers”, while others were “virgins”, taking part for the first time this year. One such team was the Eyresses, from Port Lincoln, who were looking forward to hitting the road and sharing their home turf, the Eyre Peninsula, with the rest of the participants. “It’s been so fabulous already and we haven’t even started,” virgin basher, Sue Mitchell, enthused.

Clare residents, Dave Wilson, Steve Davis and Pat Williams, are taking part as the Ned Kelly gang.

Variety ‘Bashers’ sent on their way with great local style “We’ve had a terrific time raising funds, and we can’t wait to start.” Celebrating its 25th year, the Bash has raised more than $28 million for disadvantaged children since its inception, with Variety’s chairman, Doug Lehmann, saying participants, both past and present, should be proud of their efforts. “There are not many charities that have stood the test of time and raised so much needed money,” Mr Lehmann said. District Council of Mallala mayor,

Duncan Kennington officially welcomed the Bash entrants and their families to Two Wells. “We are honoured to host the start of the 2013 Variety SA Bash here at Two Wells and hope participants, special guests and visitors enjoy our township hospitality, ably provided by our local community groups and traders,” Mr Kennington told the crowd. “The hosting of this very important event aligns well with council’s direction to bring the community

Combined grants aid local environment More than $1.5 million is being shared by schools, industry groups, and community organisations across South Australia to help drive local environmental initiatives. The money has been awarded through two State government grants programs aimed at helping community and volunteer groups nurture and enhance the natural environment. Sustainability, Environment and Conservation Minister, Ian Hunter, said it was the first time the Department of Environment Water and Natural Resources’ NRM Community Grants and Volunteer Support Grants have been jointly delivered. “More than 100 environmental projects across the state – from schools setting up bush tucker gardens to landcare groups rolling out

innovative pest control programs – will benefit from this funding,” he says. Mallala Agricultural Bureau will receive a $30,000 grant through Northern and Yorke and Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges NRM’s. This is to initiate claying sands around Dublin and Pinery. The aim is to help improve the understanding and knowledge of ‘claying’ techniques and the assessment of sandy soils and claying material. Aseries of field workshops will be held at established demonstration sites. The demonstration and trial areas will be assessed with follow up field walks and discussions. This in turn is expected to encourage landholders to trial areas on their own properties to gain experience and confidence in ‘claying’ sands.

Trees for Life won $10,000 for “bush action teams” in the Northern and Yorke NRM region The program actively engages volunteers to undertake on-ground bush regeneration, with more than 700 volunteers working on about 4000 hectares of remnant bushland across South Australia. Some of the outcomes of this project will be to provide support to existing volunteers working on five BFL sites in the Clare district, recruit new participants through two ‘come and try bushcare’ days, and hold a ‘Bush Action Team’ four day trip to the mid-north to complement and extend the local volunteers’ work on established BFL sites. Nature Conservation Society of South Australia (NCSSA) received $25,600 for a

Bushland Condition Monitoring (BCM) regional review BCM is used as a method for NRM groups to assess native vegetation condition. The method, developed by the NCSSA, assesses condition against a benchmark state. There are more than 2000 permanent BCM assessment sites established across SA. Other successful grant applications include programs to train volunteers to monitor and protect beach-nesting birds, the purchase of radio-tracking collars for goats, and school seed-collecting excursions. Mr Hunter said the grants would also allow many successful grass-roots soil-monitoring, weed control, and revegetation programs to continue.

Clare writer’s festival wins funding support The region’s newest festival received a welcome funding boost last week with the announcement of a $3000 grant. The Clare Writers’ Festival – The Write Week! will run from November 25 to December 1 and recently received funding from the Australian Government’s Regional Arts Fund as one of 16 new projects across regional South Australia. As well as the welcome funding from Country Arts SA through the Regional Arts Fund and fundraising efforts, the writers’ festival has received financial support from the Clare & Gilbert Valleys Council, Member for Frome Geoff Brock, the Office for Volunteers and Wakefield SPOKE. Author and actor Judy Nunn will officiate at the community launch of the festival on November 17 with the support of Get Reading. There will be a range of workshops, “in conversation” sessions and masterclasses available during the Festival.

Leon the caring gentleman Born at Jamestown, Leon was the youngest of Jack and Ralda Fahey’s 11 children, who all grew up on the family farm at Willalo. With 10 older siblings and many mischievous cousins, Leon regularly found himself in the spotlight. While he was pampered by his sisters, he was often used as a guinea pig by his brothers. Upon leaving school, Leon tried several occupations before settling on a career in shearing with his brothers John, Kevin and Bert. The Fahey shearing team worked all around the Mid North of South Australia, and Leon made a tough job look effortlessly easy. His sons, Anthony and Ben, would often go to work with him, and would push him to finish the day ahead of his brothers on the tally board. After a hard day’s shearing, Leon and his brothers always enjoyed a few beers. The boys recalled one occasion when they were shearing Tuppy Clapp’s sheep, and Bert and Leon were sweating away with shears in hand. Unbeknown to them, their young sons, Mark and Ben, were

up to the regular Fahey mischief. With the last sheep finally shorn, Leon, Bert, and Tuppy were ready to finish the day with a couple of cleansing ales. However, when Leon went to grab the beers out of the water trough, he was shocked to discover the beers were in fact missing and there were two merry little men giggling away under the shearing shed. Leon also kept pigs on the

farm and enjoyed looking after them, even though he didn’t enjoy the smell! As Leon’s boys moved to Adelaide, he left the farm and moved to Balaklava to be closer to them. More importantly, he also kept Farmers Union, Telstra, and the local baker in business. It wasn’t long before Leon was a proud poppy to his three grandchildren. He absolutely loved his grandchildren, Isabella, Liam, and Hudson and would spoil them at every opportunity, usually with toys that required lots of batteries and had no volume control. Leon gained a lot of new friends in Balaklava, as well as much satisfaction through his volunteer duties at the local hospital and nursing home. He will be remembered as a polite, caring, and wellmannered gentleman. Sadly, Leon passed away in hospital on July 17 after a short illness. Leon will be sadly missed by his two sons Anthony and Ben, their wives Cheryl and Gemma, his cherished grandchildren Isabella, Liam, and Hudson and the rest of his loving family.

Riverton’s community saddened RIVERTON lost a highlyvalued community member recently, with the sudden passing of local CFS volunteer, Barry Mullins. Mr Mullins served on the local CFS for about 30 years and was a lieutenant with the brigade. Riverton CFS captain, Andrew Clark, said Mr Mullins would be remembered as an integral part of the brigade, who was always a ready and willing volunteer. “He was always there when you needed him and he was also quite entertaining at trainings, always providing something to laugh at,” Mr Clark said. Mr Mullins was believed to be one of several local fire fighters who helped save Sevenhill on Ash Wednesday in 1983. He also volunteered on the local SES group until it closed some years ago. “Everyone in town knew him as part of the CFS,” Mr Clark said. Mr Mullins also was an important part of the Riverton Bowls Club and represented the Wooroora Men’s Association earlier this year.

Navigation charts for St Vincent Gulf and a sign at the Ardrossan boat ramp both provide details of location of the wreck and the exclusion zone.

Boaties are being asked to brush up on their knowledge of the location of South Australian shipwrecks after recreational divers reported serious damage to the wreck of the Zanoni. Lying in 18m of water off Ardrossan, the 135-year-old wreck is historically significant as the most complete 19th-century merchant vessel in South Australia, and possibly the whole country. The area is wellklnown to many local boat fishers. Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources maritime heritage officer, Amer Khan, said when he inspected the wreck last week, he found broken timbers and the whole site strewn with fishing debris despite the existence of a 550m boating exclusion zone.

“All the frames along the elevated edge of the starboard side have been snapped off, probably by an anchor chain being dragged along it,” Amer said. “Copper sheathing has been torn off and timbers pulled away by snagged rope. Someone has even dropped a makeshift cement mooring right into the bow section, where it’s crushed part of the portside bow and the deck planking. “The wreck is zigzagged all over with old and new fishing line, which still has hooks, lures and sinkers attached that can cause damage by creating further snags. “All this suggests people are regularly anchoring and fishing on the Zanoni, and they have been for some time. “The sad truth is they’re slowly destroy-

n SA MARITIME HISTORY:

ZANONI MYSTERY LASTED 120 YEARS

For many years, the final resting place of the Zanoni was one of SA’s great maritime mysteries. Built in 1865 in Liverpool, the cargo ship weighed 330 tonnes and was 44m long. In 1867, after just three voyages, her captain was preparing to return to England with a load of wheat and bark when the ship hit rough weather on the way

from Port Wakefield to Port Adelaide. The 16 crew were all rescued, but the Zanoni sank without trace and remained lost for close to 120 years, despite extensive searches at the time of the accident. The hull was finally found in 1983, when a retired fisherman responded to a call for information on her whereabouts by a local abalone diver.

sion zone because of her historical significance. The protection zone bans all water activities without a special permit – even simply steering a boat through the area. The Zanoni, which also lies in a marine park sanctuary zone, is one of two such protected wreck zones in South Australia. The other one surrounds the ex-Navy destroyer HMAS Hobart, which was scuttled in Yankalilla Bay in 2002. Amer said it was very important for all water users to make themselves familiar with the location of historic shipwrecks and protected zones. “Shipwrecks are a fascinating part of our heritage, so taking care of a historic wreck is just as important as protecting a heritage building.They are an irreplaceable part of our history and if they break up, they are gone forever. “We hope to return soon to finish cleaning up the Zanoni and removing

the fouling material, but it will be a time consuming process.” Penalties for damaging a wreck are serious: up to $5000 or five years in prison. There are also penalties of up to $1250 or a year in gaol for entering a protected zone without a permit. • Information provided by State government Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources.

‘Clean fill’ appeal backfires on landowner

EPA’s Tony Williams amidst thousands of bricks on the site.

• From Page 1 The site he originally wanted the fill for garnered plenty of support from a number of companies, dumping their industrial waste on the site for free. Things got out of hand from there, when companies started another dump site behind the original site he was trying to build up. “It happens frighteningly quick,” Mr Williams said. “Once you leave your block, word gets around you can dump waste product for free and when transport and demolition people find out they can dump for free, they’ll exploit it until they’re stopped. “Just on observations we’ve done, there’s anywhere up to 10 companies we’ve seen coming out here. They don’t care about the land here, so that’s the real issue.” With several potential contaminant threats within the thousands of tonnes of waste, a clean up of the site is immanent, to be paid by the landowner. “Unfortunately, the way the law is written, the landowner bears the cost of the clean up or testing,” Mr Williams said. “If it does turn out to be contaminated, he will be asked to remove it. “I would say it is highly likely that it is, just given the volume of waste here. “The main concern with illegal dumping on any land is you don’t

There could be hydro-carbons and contamination through it. “The water table is very high, so if there are nasties in there, it’s going straight into the water table and into the ocean from here. “You can see it is full of orange builder’s plastic and reinforcement rod.

on the land, and seize a portion of the sale price to fund the clean up. The recent case was just one example of several issues bobbing up in the area. “The EPA has been looking at a number of sites out here,” Mr Williams revealed. “We came across this one while checking out another site and the same thing happened to him. “He put a sign up for clean fill, once one person finds out about it, stockpiles start to build very quickly.”

The EPA has been looking at a number of sites out here

“That sort of stuff should go to a resource recovery centre, where they crush it, pull the steel and contaminants out of it and make a usable product.” While sympathetic of the owner’s initially innocent intentions, Mr Williams suggested the cost to the landowner could be hefty. “The EPA will work with them and try to help them out as well as we can, but should it turn out to be contaminated, you’re looking at several hundred thousand dollars to be removed, greater than the value of the land, certainly,” he said. “He also potentially faces prosecution for operating a waste depot.” The EPA could also put an order

Mr Williams said several companies tended to pick on easy targets, who are either easily convinced or misled into receiving waste on their properties. “It is exploitation of a lot of these people, who are immigrants who haven’t come from places where the environmental laws are as strict as they are here,” he said. From vacant land at the start of April this year, more than 500 truckloads have been unloaded illegally at the one site alone. “That’s doubled in size since we first found it in early July,” Mr Williams said. “Our biggest thing isn’t about prosecuting people, it is the fact it quickly gets out of hand and you can be left bankrupt as a result.”

NEWS v District

School raises crossing concerns HORIZON Christian School has raised concerns regarding an alarming number of drivers seemingly unaware of the road rules at the koala crossing on Gwy Terrace. School principal, Mike Clisby, said recent footpath upgrades were more than welcome but the boost in pedestrians has led to questions of whether the current crossing is adequate for student safety. “Safe pedestrian passage to and from school for all our children is so important,” Mr Clisby said. “I applaud Wakefield Reginal Council’s great work on the footpath development of the eastern side of busy Gwy Terrace. “This has increased foot traffic to Horizon yet these children have to negotiate the flashing light ‘koala crossing’ into Horizon grounds. “It seems the rules for this crossing are dangerously misunderstood by many motorists.” Mr Clisby suggested a crossing upgrade could be a solution. “Stop lights or even a zebra crossing would help eliminate confusion for motorists and improve safety for students,” he said.

Balaklava police officers, Mitch Henry (left) and Eddie Delina, watch as a driver waits for students Tess Lawson (left) and Nate Veitch cross the road at the koala crossing on Gwy Terrace. Drivers must give way to pedestrians and travel at 25 km/h while the lights are flashing.

Avoid accidents by learning the road rules There are three main types of school crossings in South Australia, with an example of each used in Balaklava. An emu crossing is situated on Wallace Street across the road from the Balaklava Primary School, with flags used during crossing times. The koala crossing is between the primary school and Horizon, on Gwy Terrace, which features

orange flashing lights during crossing times. A pedestrian actuated crossing is located between the Balaklava High School and its gymnasium, also on Gwy Terrace. Pedestrian actuated crossings operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, throughout the year. Emu and koala crossings only operate as crossings when the flags

are up or the lights are flashing. When the lights are flashing at a koala crossing a 25 km/h speed limit applies. Emu crossings are located within school zones, which also have a speed limit of 25 km/h for motorists whenever children are present on the road or footpath. Motorists must give way to pedestrians crossing or about to cross

the road when the lights are flashing at a koala crossing or fluorescent “red children crossing” flags are displayed at an emu crossing. Motorists and pedestrians must follow the instructions of child crossing monitors present during busy times at most koala crossings and at some emu crossings. At all other times vehicles have priority.

Cancelled meet should lead to top Cup track THE Balaklava Racing Club track should be in pristine condition for the club’s marquee event, the Balaklava Cup, early next month after last week’s race meet was abandoned without a race being run. Stewards called last Wednesday’s meet off at about 11.40am, after some areas of the track worsened following overnight rain. Balaklava Racing Club chief executive officer, Doug Hall, said stewards had inspected the track the day before and believed it was fine. A reasonably heavy shower of rain early on Wednesday morning dampened proceed-

ings considerably. “It wasn’t heavy but it was thick,” Mr Hall explained. “Nine millimetres in a dry year is a nice little sprinkle but in a wet year, when you already have a damp ground, it is a lot of rain.” Stewards suggested shifting the rail out would allow racing to proceed. “The rest of the stewards arrived from Adelaide and said there was a change in the going in a couple of spots around the back,” Mr Hall said. “So, you would go from soft, to really soft, back to soft within three strides. “It wasn’t as if the track was covered in water.

“It is very well grassed and looks beautiful but what they were worried about is if a horse is galloping at speed, it hits a soft spot, then a harder spot, they lose their rhythm.” Stewards then allowed the jockeys to also assess the track. “The jockeys were of a similar opinion and probably because of recent circumstances with Simone Montgomerie passing away a couple of days earlier, it becomes a focus in their mind, they’re more conscious of it,” Mr Hall said. “Which is fair enough, I’m not criticising that at all.” While disappointed to lose a day’s racing, Mr Hall was

relatively undeterred by the abandoned meeting. “Any racing on the track, even with the rail out a long way, was going to have a detrimental effect because it would open the ground up,” he said. “While the fields weren’t huge, it would have chopped it up pretty badly. “We’ve got a cup in four weeks time, so in the essence, I think the right decision was made. “I think because of recent events, we’ve been more conscious of safety concerns and that’s all good. “I don’t think it will be a substantial cost to the club but if there is a safety issue, that

rules the roost anyway. “From my point of view, in four weeks time, we are going to have a track which hasn’t had a hoof on it for eight weeks. “Now, they know we haven’t raced here recently, so wherever your horse runs, the track should be pretty good.” Mr Hall believed things may have been slightly different if it was cup day. “I think they would have started, for sure,” he said. That said, he reconfirmed his support for the stewards’ decision. “Each area on its own, it probably wasn’t too bad, but collectively, they were a problem.”

Residents of Hayfield Plains in Balaklava are kept on their toes, with regular social events. All of the 33 units in the village are occupied, with 45 residents from various former locations around Australia, deciding to retire in Balaklava. John and Jenny Hilzinger, were originally in Sydney, then after travelling around Australia for five years, settled in Blyth for 10 years. “When a vacancy came up, especially

The group has a range of activities for residents, some held weekly and others annually. Last week, the residents enjoyed their annual soup and pasty day. Other events include weekly carpet bowls, barbecues, guest speakers, picnics, meet and greet days, and lunch outings

NEWS v FEDERAL ELECTION

CANDIDATES FOR WAKEFIELD Greens candidate in top gear

COALITION Shadow Minister for Veterans’ Affairs, Michael Ronaldson (left), and Liberal candidate for Wakefield, Tom Zorich, chat with Two Wells RSL vice president, John Atherton.

Libs listen in on views from Two Wells RSL

Local war veterans had a chance to speak up and voice their concerns at a community forum held in Two Wells last week. The event, organised by Liberal candidate for the Federal seat of Wakefield, Tom Zorich, was held at the Two Wells Returned Services League hall last Friday, August 9, with about 60 people attending. Federal Shadow Minister for Veterans’ Affairs, Michael Ronaldson, featured at the forum, and relished the opportunity to speak directly to people who are affected by government decisions. Senator Ronaldson said he had participated in a number of forums across the country and was always keen to hear what the general public had to say. “I don’t come to you as someone who has served,” Senator Ronaldson said. “I don’t pretend to understand what it is to have served.

Bec O’Brien reports: “(But) we have an obligation to look after those young men and women who are returning and make sure we do not repeat the mistakes of the past. “We cannot allow people to fall through the cracks again. “We’ve got to make sure we are ready to help them and to teach the next generation of kids what their responsibilities are.” Senator Ronaldson spoke about his party’s pledges in relation to war veterans should the Coalition be voted into government following the September 7 election, even though he said the forum was not a “political thing”. One of the key areas of concern for many people in the room was the fair indexation of military superannuation pensions and the recently stalled Veterans’ Affairs

legislation Amendments Bill 2012. Two Wells resident, Jenny Dowling, cares for her husband Gerry, who served in the Vietnam War, and wants any elected government to consider the impact on carers. Others spoke about the need for the government system to employ people who understood the history as well as the needs, fears and concerns of returned soldiers, and for support payments to be made through the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, not Centrelink. Two Wells RSL president, Tony Flaherty, said the forum was also a great opportunity to inform residents of its local war memorial upgrade and the construction of a memorial garden in honour of Australian soldiers killed in action. A delicious soup and barbeque lunch was once again prepared by a team of volunteers behind the scenes.

No back down on liar claim • From Page 1 Mr Champion labelled Senator Edwards’ attack as “negative politics” and was unsurprised to cop a bit of flack from the senator, despite his direct opponent being Liberal candidate, Tom Zorich. “It’s a bit like a footy match, when the opposition sends someone to tag you,” Mr Champion explained. “If you’re playing good footy, you can expect a tag.” Clare-based Senator Edwards said: “In the letter he sent to more than 70,000 people, Nick Champion lied to each and every one of them and I call on him to apologise in writing immediately. “According to Holden’s CEO, Nick Champion has not ensured Holden’s production until 2022. “In fact, Holden has stated it will wait until after the election to decide on its future.

THE statement from Nick Champion’s letter to residents – and BELOW, the flyer produced by Liberal senator, Sean Edwards.

Don’t be tricked by Nick Champion

Tricky Nick

Labor’s Nick Champion will say and do anything to get your vote

“It concerns me that with one lie often comes another and then another. “So I call on the people in Wakefield to call Nick Champion to account. For too long he has flown under the radar.”

Plains Producer, Wednesday, August 14, 2013

As a result, Senator Edwards has released a flyer, labelling Mr Champion “Tricky Nick”. “Mr Champion is trying to trick the people of Wakefield into believing he has done work he clearly hasn’t.”

THE announcement of the September 7 Federal Election will ensure Greens Candidate for Wakefield, Sherree Clay, has a flat out month ahead. “I will be working closely with my team to campaign up until the election, doing meet and greets, door knocking, and encouraging young people to enrol to vote,” Ms Clay said. “I will also be doing a few radio interviews and on Saturday, August 24, I will be speaking at the single parents protest at Parliament House.” She felt despite her recent nomination, she had a solid grasp of the issues facing Wakefield. “Being a local, I am well aware of the issues and hardships our electorate is facing due to old party mismanagement, poorly planned policy development and implementation,” she said. “Decisions were not made in the best interest of our people and

communities.” She confirmed visiting the northern end of the electorate in coming weeks as part of her campaign. “I am really looking forward to this, we have many great policies for rural Australia and I am especially looking forward to promoting these,” Ms Clay said. While disappointed not to be invited to debate with the major party candidates, she was confident of having an impact come election day. “This election people have a choice,” Ms Clay said. “They could choose the old parties in their race to the bottom, their cruel punishment of people and their complete neglect of our environment, or they can choose the Greens, who have the guts and the vision to stand up for people and to protect our environment. “That’s why I’m here: to give our community a real alternative.”

INDEPENDENT Candidate for Wakefield, Mark Aldridge, will be hitting the campaign trail hard in coming weeks, distributing 40,000 flyers to local letterboxes and preparing to travel the electorate. Mr Aldridge has also revamped his corflute signs, which are springing up on any free stobie poles throughout Wakefield. A long-time advocate for primary producers, he retains and regularly updates a huge agenda of issues ranging from the general, to the seemingly insignificant. Out of all of those, Mr Aldridge had one overriding message. “Put your money in the right pockets is the main campaign,” he said. “Stop foreign investment in land and infrastructure and democratic reforms will be the highlight.”

He spent the earlier parts of this week travelling the northern end of the electorate. While he didn’t receive an invitation to the highly-sought debate between the two major players in Wakefield, Tom Zorich and Nick Champion, a date for which is yet to be announced, Mr Aldridge ensured voters he would be in attendance regardless. “If there is a debate I will be involved, whether they like it or not, while Australia is still a democracy,” he declared. Despite being considered an outsider to have an impact on election day, Mr Aldridge is heading into the September 7 vote with a high level of enthusiasm. “My signs will create some interest and polling day will indeed become a headline,” he said.

Signs will cause a stir: Aldridge

Musolino enters election arena ELECTROPLATING business manager, Tony Musolino (right), has also thrown his hat in the ring for the upcoming Federal Election, standing as a Katter’s Australia Party candidate for the seat of Wakefield. Mr Musolino was born in the Adelaide Hills to parents who migrated to Australia from Italy following WWII. He openly admits to previously spending time behind bars and came out of the experience a better person. “As a young man, I spent a short time in prison and I am not proud of this fact,” Mr Musolino said. “It did, however, sharpen my view of what is important in life and quickly put me back on the right track. “My interest in the political landscape has grown throughout my experiences in life. “In more recent years this interest has becoming increasingly beset with concerns and frustrations at the deterioration in South Australian political culture.” Mr Musolino is aligned with the

Save Our State SA lobby group, which looks to highlight poor politician performance and pressure them to do a better, fairer and more honest job. He recently joined Katter’s Australian Party as it shared his political views. Mr Musolino claims the Labor government has plundered its own supporters’ pockets to cover alleged financial mismanagement. “Recently we have seen an increase to the Fringe Benefits Tax on company vehicles, a new levy on bank deposits and now smokers are the chosen cash cows,” he said. “Every Australian has cause to wonder whether they will be made to pay next.” www.plainsproducer.com.au

NEWSv SALA festival

Vibrant ingredients Media personality Jane Reilly opened Venturas Visions 2013 SALA exhibition to a packed gallery of art lovers from throughout South Australia. Gallery owner and resident artist, Tracy Vandepeer, said she was thrilled with the quality of work in the exhibition, which represented work from seven other artists as well as herself, and how well it had been received. “It really was a Cauldron of Colour – there is so much vibrancy in our gallery for SALA, represented by a diverse range of mediums.” Work by Kangaroo Island contemporary painter Neil (Shep) Sheppard, fibre artist Llewena Newell from Coffin Bay, lampwork artist Heidi Hodge from Black Springs, glass sculptor Randall Sach from Adelaide, bead artist Denise Wilkins from Spalding, contemporary painter Jim Kinch from Adelaide and watercolourist Bob Landt from Maitland, together with the work of contemporary artist Tracy Vandepeer made up this year’s SALA exhibition. Attending this year’s exhibition opening were Member for Frome Geoff Brock MP, Clare & Gilbert Valleys Council CEO Roy Blight, Cr Elizabeth Calvert, director and treasurer of SALA Jane Zadow, president of the Royal Society of Arts Vikki Waller, arts and cultural development manager Country Arts SA Kirsty Jamieson, director of public programs at the Adelaide Museum Mark Judd, chairperson Regional Development Australia Yorke and Mid North Kay Matthias, and Adelaide Advertiser columnist Carole Whitelock. The official opening was held on Saturday, August 3 and the exhibition at Venturas Visions Gallery & Studio, Main North Road, Auburn will run until the end of the month.

NEWS v District Letter

to the editor

WHO WILL TAKE UP THE RED CROSS ‘BIG BAKE’ challenge?

We need to keep wards

Lorna can mix it with the best

Congratulations to the Plains Producer for the comprehensive reporting on the Wakefield Regional Council (WRC) meeting during the deliberations for Elector Representation review. In the Wakefield Regional Council agenda of July 24 it had been disappointing to read the two recommendations, one from council management and the other from the consultant Mr Rowe, that the ward system be abolished. What great news to find councillors of Wakefield Regional Council realised the implications of no wards and voted in favour of the motion that put the adoption of three wards. With farming interest in areas of WRC and District Council of Mallala (DCM) and with Elector Representation Reviews being conducted in both areas it was inevitable comparisons were made. In judgment, it is hard to comprehend the Mallala councillors’ decision. In the Mallala district, the family made time to attend all meetings and lodge submissions when council sought community input but we were surprised Mallala Council voted to canvas a no ward system in the final discussion document. On Monday, August 26, at the DCM meeting, councillors will decide the fate of the ward system. The decision must serve the best interest of communities. There must be recognition for the community’s concern to see the ward system retained. The community expressed this opinion with signatures submitted on July 26 to DCM, which endorsed that resolve to keep a ward system. Don and Margaret Tiller

Roseworthy success as vet students graduate

Australia’s newest veterinary school has received a major quality stamp of approval as its first students prepare to graduate at the end of this year. The University of Adelaide’s School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences has been told its veterinary sciences program at its Roseworthy Campus has received interim national accreditation. “This is testament to the first-class quality of our veterinary program, facilities and teaching as well as the significant investment the University has made in establishing South Australia’s first vet school,” says University of Adelaide vice-chancellor and president professor Warren Bebbington. South Australia’s only vet school was established at Roseworthy in 2008 and the first class of 35 students to complete the three-year undergraduate and three-year postgraduate veterinary sciences program will finish their studies in November. The University has invested more than $50 million in the School since 2008; more than $32 million by the University, $15 million from the Federal government and $5 million by the State government. Plains Producer, Wednesday, August 14, 2013

We all love food and many people like cooking. Apart from footy, Balaklava football legend Hayden Walker likes eating cake – particularly those made by his much-loved grandmother, Lorna Walker. The proof is in the pudding, or cake, as you can see below. We know there are many great cake creators in the district – and when Balaklava Show cranks up again next month, we’ll see some of the very best. As a regular cake-maker Lorna is a star, regularly bringing in a range of different cakes for everyone at the Plains Producer to enjoy. Sometimes (not often) we share the cakes with others – and we know Lorna also distributes cakes to other people in the town ... which is why Lorna is just the person to help promote the Red Cross fundraiser, “Big Cake Bake Day”. The day officially will be held on August 26, but entrants can cook any time in August. If you’d like to join this fundraiser by organising a work or community “cook up,” contact 1800 652 635. I’ve been wondering how many men might join the cook-up? There are plenty of men who get their creative culinary juices flowing in the kitchen. For example, local tennis ace Darren Scholz makes scrumptious brownies for every tennis committee meeting! As many people might be getting into some cooking practise for either the Red Cross Big Bake, or Balaklava Show, here’s a challenge for you. Who can make the biggest, best cake around here? Any flavour is fine. The challenge is sweet and simple – cook your favourite cake/slice and bring it into the Plains Producer so we can judge it (and eat it of course.) We’ll pick the best one and then take your photo and you will have your moment of fame! And if it’s not a secret third generation recipe, we can publish your recipe for others to try. So get the beaters going, crank up your ovens and get to it. I’ll just put the kettle on and wait for the first entrant!

BILLY-Jack Sutton with his porter friend.

Tarlee’s Billy-Jack conquers Kokoda

Seventeen year old Tarlee student, BillyJack Sutton, who attends Rostrevor College, was recently able to trek the Kokoda Trail, together with 10 other students from the college in a “journey of a lifetime.” The trek of 96 km over nine days to Kokoda, entailed climbing 2190 metres through very rugged and muddy terrain similar to the atrocious conditions encountered by the Aussie Diggers in World War II. Many crossings of fast flowing creeks and muddy swamps were made over flimsy wooden bridges, made of timber lashed together with jungle twine. Such was Billy’s delight in the experience, it has confirmed his intention to pursue the Army as a career. His mother, Trudie, from the Grasshopper Roadhouse, would like to have accompanied her son on the trek, and hopes to do it herself in the not-to-distant future. She said she was very proud of Billy for embarking on such a challenging adventure. – Report from John TAYLER

Emma’s barista ‘bee sting’

CLARE-based barista, Emma Dunstan, took out the Clare Valley Region Barista of the Year at the Yorke and Mid North RDA (RDAYMN) Regional Barista Competition on August 4. Competition organiser, Midge Wallace, said it was “awe-inspiring to see the inventiveness and originality applied by the Baristas this year, which was at a whole new level from the 2012 competition.” Emma, who works for Sevenhill’s Little Red Grape, used Sevenhill honey in her ‘Bee Sting’, an espresso topped with vanilla infused Sevenhill honey and cinnamon, blended with fresh cream. Head judge, Bill Comley, noted a marked improvement in coffee in the local cafes with latte art becoming more frequent. Plains Producer, Wednesday, August 14 2013

Focus on strategic areas Balaklava High school principal, Mark Healy, outlines the school’s numeracy and literacy programs.

Balaklava High School is continuing strong progress and commitment to the development of numeracy and literacy. Both have been key improvement areas for the last five years, with this year seeing the appointment within the school of a numeracy coach, Vie Li Soo, using National Partnerships grant money. The main aims of the position are to lead the focus in the continued development of quality teaching in mathematics, to provide the most up-to-date numeracy professional development and learning for staff and to support teachers to better use the broad range of student assessment and achievement data to ensure the improvement in numeracy outcomes for all students. The literacy agenda has been furthered this year with the school again employing the services of the nationally recognised literacy specialist, Stephen Graham, to continue to ensure all staff, in all faculty areas, receive quality training and development in the specific features of different written forms or “text types” and equip them with specific strategies to effectively teach these to students. In addition, a group of teaching staff have also been undertaking studies in the very comprehensive literacy program, “How Language Works: Success in Literacy and Learning.” This program, organised by the school’s english and literacy co-ordinator, Kerry Williams, and made available to other staff

in the region, requires teachers to undertake some 18 hours of face-to-face training plus significant additional reading and “homework” time. This program continues the provision to staff of quality literacy training and development throughout the last five years. There are many indicators of dynamic and successful schools but key amongst these are the preparedness of staff to reflect upon their practice and seek to continually improve their professional knowledge and skills so they can better support student learning. The school’s numeracy and literacy focus is a positive example of this – a testament to the school’s highly professional and committed staff – and it is having a significant

and sustained impact, as is demonstrated in continued improvements in NAPLAN results. DECD Head of Schools, Garry Costello, in a visit earlier in the year, commended the school’s “thoughtful use of resources to improve numeracy and literacy outcomes” and said, “the outcomes in numeracy growth for students who were experiencing difficulty were commendable.” The school’s ongoing commitment to the provision of quality professional development, quality teaching and targeted intervention will ensure this improvement journey continues. It’s another example of Balaklava High School students and staff following the mantra “excel today to challenge the future.”

Big weekend to celebrate centenary There is much excitement at the Riverton and District High school as centenary celebrations draw near. Although the beginning of secondary education began in 1913 on March 31 with 32 students, the school is celebrating 100 years over the long weekend in October. There are many of the original 32 student families still in the district and several generations of students have followed in their footsteps at the school. Joan Callery is very proud of the fact the Callery family has been associated with the school from 1913 to 2012. Do any other families have that longevity of connection?

RIVERTON & DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL Secondary education began in the parish church before moving to its current site on September 5, 1921. This new building comprised the western half of the present stone structure. The number of students attending then was between 50 and 60. Alteration in train times caused a big increase of students and it was found necessary to increase the school. Several stories abound of those early days, including the hijinks on the trains.

One former scholar remembers the difficult conditions for students who did not live or board in Riverton. “Those attending from Auburn and surrounding towns travelled by train and rail bus, leaving home at 7.00am and returning after 9.00pm”. Another student remembered the sports trips to Gawler and Kapunda and their visit to Burra, where they travelled in an open truck. It rained all the way and they arrived drenched to the skin.

MUCH REMAINS THE SAME! After looking through some past publications, there are many funny stories proving students of yesteryear were not much different from those of today. The following story was published in 1936: “The exams were over; life for the late night students was easy. The school lawns were flourishing and one of the jobs of the students from the north, was to keep them watered. “With the hose running at one end, a rather noisy party was in progress at the other. Students of both sexes were being mixed up in a regular rough and tumble. “Dusk was clamping down fast, and in the near darkness, the convention of being properly clothed did not really matter. Someone out of the

From the earliest days, interschool sport has been an important component of school life. The school was not serviced with buses until after World War II. The October weekend promises to be an occasion of reminiscing, catching up and celebrating of 100 years of outstanding public education in the Gilbert Valley. Friday, October 4, will have a welcome and drama performance at Riverton Community Hall from 7pm. Main activities on Saturday October 5, will include tours, pho-

tographs and the book launch John Glistak has been meticulously researching and has written a very comprehensive history of the school’s 100 years. This will be a memento to be treasured for all past students and teachers. A formal dinner will be held on the Saturday night. Full details are on the school’s website. On Sunday there will be a number of informal get-togethers of students from different eras. “If you have had any connection with the school over the past, this is an occasion to renew old friendships. Put it in your diary and we look forward to seeing you over the long weekend.”

milling mass of teenagers, noticed a forbidding figure leaning over the school fence, his voice being lost in the noise of the kids. “A few slaps here and there, quietened us down. Nat Lacy, the senior amongst us, was quick on the uptake. “She grabbed the hose, turned on full pressure and squirted the now mobile figure. He retreated, but came back to the fence with speed and vigour, nearly tripping over the top rail of the fence. “What the devil do you think you’re doing?” he roared. “Please Mr Sprigg,” said Nat with a most innocent expression in her voice, “we thought it was an OLD COW.” “We had squirted the local policeman, so we rapidly melted away into the darkness to be a little wiser.”

Knitting together helps Mill Court Balaklava Primary School students spent Wednesday lunch times last term learning how to knit! Their task was to knit large squares which would be crotcheted together to make a rug for residents in Mill Court. Some helpful local ladies, Mary Allen, Marg Lange and Lynette Dall showed the children the skill of knitting, and helped them complete

their squares. In the recent school holidays, Mary gathered the squares and crotcheted them together to make this colourful rug. The rug was presented to Mill Court representative, Bec Hudson, at a school assembly on Friday. n Pictured (from left) rear Lynette Dall, Marg Lange and Mary Allen.

Preschool and playgroup are the best preparation

Preschool is such a precious time of a child’s life so don’t get caught out. Children who turn four years of age between now and April 30, 2014, will start preschool in January next year. A few visits are planned in Term 4 this year, to help familiarise them with the learning and care environment. If your child turns four years old on or after May 1, 2014, they will start preschool in January 2015. They will have some pre-entry visits in term four 2014. With the new Same First Day policy, there is generally no enrolment of children in Terms 3 and 4 of any year. However if your child has additional needs (for example, a child with a disability, developmental delay, gifted development or children who are at risk because of culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds or family circumstances) may be able to start preschool early. A great way to get children ready for kindy is to bring them along to playgroup on Fridays from 9:30am to 11:30am in the Kindy room. The preschool curriculum, the Early Years Learning Framework, is a great playbased approach offering children the opportunity to learn how to talk and interact with others in a safe, caring and stimulating environment. If you haven’t already done so, please talk to your local preschool director to determine how this could best work for your child. It is never too early to register for preschool. We maintain a waiting list so please put your child’s name down as soon as possible. Balaklava Community Children’s Centre also offers childcare for children 6 weeks to to 12 years of age. We are conveniently located at 15 Scotland St, Balaklava so call in for a chat or phone 8862 1251.

Students create their own learning space Wasleys Primary School is continuing its journey to “change the way we learn.” Students recently completed designing and building a new outdoor learning space during garden lessons with Mrs Pringle. In line with the school’s focus on sustainability and connecting to the environment, primary students designed the space to take advantage of the native bushland area within the school grounds and utilised timber logs from pine trees previously lopped at the school to create a circular area used for seating, climbing and balancing. Students then pruned the native trees and bushes in the area to create tunnels and safe hiding nooks, providing opportunities for extending imaginative play-based learning activities. The new learning space has only been in place this term and is being used regularly during garden classes in a variety of ways. The primary class is monitoring bird and bug populations to determine the health of our environment and the JP class uses it as their base for exploring native plants. Students are able to walk amongst the plants to study the various leaves and flowers in the area which is leading to wonderful discussions and discoveries. The area has also provided a new play space for students to access during breaks, creating exciting new activities and games which support fine and gross motor development.

Roosters dig deep for win Final score two wells 17.19 (121) d VIRGINIA 16.10 (106)

REPORT: Les Pearson THE contest between Two Wells and Virginia on Saturday was a stunning prelude ahead of their predetermined first semi final encounter in three weeks, the Roosters winning a high-scoring affair by 15 points. The mind games have already started, Roosters coach, Mark Thomson, targeting several key Virginia players with interesting match-ups. Forward, Andrew Hardiman, who leads the club’s goal kicking this year, lined up at full back on Rams forward, Brendon Niklaus. Jacob Hart was sent to Caleb Howell in a run-with role, while Brad Fitzgerald lined up at full forward for Two Wells. Six goals to three in the first term had the Rooster army up and about, which was then built into a 29-point buffer at the main break. Virginia needed to respond and did so. “We kicked away in the second quarter with some late goals but they came out and kicked eight goals to three in the third and closed the margin to one point at one stage,” Thomson said. The Rams kicked eight goals to four in the third term and put the Roosters right under the pump. “We probably started poorly but were able to get ourselves back in the game, which was pleasing,” Virginia coach, Joss DenEngelse said. “We missed some tackles early in the game, which gave them some easy goals. “We began to play more one on one footy, which is what we play best. “It was the type of footy we’ve been looking to play all year.” The Rams suddenly had the momentum, the Roosters unable to counter the Virginia onslaught. “It wasn’t that bad as we were still scoring as well,” Thomson explained. “Every time they went inside 50, they scored and they weren’t set shots but goals on the run.” Peter Mylonopoulos was the main instigator of the form reversal, while Ryan Starr’s superb season continued for Virginia. In a gut-busting final term, Two Wells dug deep to boot three goals to Virginia’s two and run out deserved winners in the end. “It was a good effort from both sides and anyone could have won it from three quarter time,” Thomson said. “It was a finals-like intensity and played in good spirits, which was well umpired as well.” Several key Roosters were out, including ruckman Simon Feast (family reaons), Tallan Leighton (hamstring) and Eamon Fetherstonaugh (groin soreness).

Ben Slattery stept up in Feast’s absence. “Ben rucked for 90 per cent of the day, while (Anthony) Pontt helped out at times,” Thomson said. “He battled on really well.” Will Hart played his first A grade game for the club, joining brothers, Bryce and Jacob, in the team. “We only gave him a quarter all up but he attacked the footy well and will probably get another game this week as well,” Thomson said. Khan Leighton’s form has begun to pick up in the latter stages of the year. “He had a bit of an ankle injury midseason and could barely run a quarter out from the amount of training he was doing but he’s finding his fitness again now,” Thomson said. Despite getting a kick to the hand, Hardiman was great on Niklaus and was unlucky not to be in the Roosters’ best. “We’ve tried Fitzgerald, Sam O’Brien and Pontt on him but Hardi has great closing speed,” Thomson said. Fitzgerald finished with four goals, while Jacob Hart kept Howell quiet. “We sort of knew about that and the role they would assign to Brad Robertson, so I saw it as a good opportunity for him to stand up against a heavy tag,” DenEngelse said. “While it wasn’t about the result, we thought it would be good to take winning form into the finals but it was also a good chance to work on our fundamentals against quality opposition.” Mylonopoulos finished with four goals in a classy performance. “He gets worked pretty hard and missed most of the preseason fitness work but he’s getting his match fitness right up now,” DenEngelse said. “He’s been getting rotated onto the ball and has silky skills on both sides of the footy. “Peter would probably be fairly underrated around the league…but that was his best game at the club that I’ve seen since I’ve been there.” Justin Platt bobbed up with three goals in support of Niklaus’four, adding another scoring option for the Rams. “We had been looking for more scoring power and he had won four leading goal kicker awards in the B grade,” DenEngelse said. “He is similar to Brendon in that when he gets an opportunity, he rarely misses. “I think we’re right in it and it was good to see our scoring power as well, with other clubs usually going by the saying ‘stop Niklaus, stop Virginia’.” The Rams now have the bye, with a great encounter with Mallala to follow. “We’ll be working hard to keep our block going and take a different approach in against Mallala in a fortnight,” DenEngelse said.

‘Pies show why they’re top team REPORT: Les Pearson • From back page “He offers a lot of run from defence but we are trying to keep our options open and rotate a number of players through different positions all the time,” Lubcke explained.” Bruggemann finished with seven goals, while Scott Hahn’s brilliant soccer goal from deep in the pocket summed up the Magpies’ day. Hahn finished with three majors, as did Dan Feeley, whose dominant second term helped set up the win. Mitch Daniel, Peter Shepherd and Brad Michael put in solid defensive efforts for Balaklava, while Dean Storic was influential from the midfield and Chad Ruiz battled hard when forward before putting in a good last quarter at half back. Brenton Lamond sustained broken ribs and a collapsed lung in a marking contest and was not sighted after half time. “It was the third quarter where they flexed their muscle and the end of the day, it showed exactly why they are where they’re at,” Lamond said. “All credit to them, they played the better footy. “It probably wasn’t a fair reflection of where we’re at in terms of personnel but we needed everything to go right with injuries, but we’ve had our fair share this season.” Lamond denied the Peckers were facing a downward spiral in coming years. “I don’t think so,” he said. “It was the worst loss we’ve had for a while but up until half time, we were pretty competitive. “We’re lacking a bit of polish but things can turn around pretty quickly. “Two Wells had a rough 2011 with injuries and we’re probably in a similar position to be about to turn it around. “It’s up to the players to not be comfortable where we’re at, as the coaching staff are not, so the players also need to buy into that.”

With second spot on the table up for grabs, Balaklava kicked to the Terminus Hotel end. There was no real breeze advantage to either end. First goal went to Jarrad Dunstan of Mallala, with a good snap out of the pack. Ben Heaslip, back from college, kicked the next two for the Peckers, with Jacob Wehr providing good run. Thomas Jones soon evened up the score, for the Magpies’ second, after Angus Clothier cleared well from half back. With Lachlan Speissegger good in defence, Bradey Krieg marked and kicked Balaklava’s third to keep the locals ahead at the first change in a great start to the game. Wehr, Lachlan Speissegger and Heaslip started well for the Peckers, while Clothier, Jones and Henry Crossman were doing well for the visitors. The Magpies ran the ball well from full back to full forward, with good run via Brad Wilson, then great composure and goal by Ben O’Leary. Balaklava replied, with a great snap from a throw in by James Speissegger. Soon after the centre bounce, Mallala’s Jamie Good kicked a long goal to reply. With the game in the balance, Reece Svetec then goaled to put the Magpies in front at half time. Ben O’Leary, Clothier and Wilson got the visitors back in the game, while Wehr, James Speissegger and Tyler Milne did not fall away for the locals. The third quarter was played in two

halves, with Mallala pulling away first. Adam Coe kicked truly from a free kick and then followed up with another, after good set up from Ben O’Leary. Balaklava’s Harrison Veitch pressured and moved the ball forward to Charlie Arbon, who converted to stem the flow and change the momentum of the game. Good run from back to forward by the Peckers saw Heaslip kick his third. A strong mark and goal conversion to Josh Harkness saw Balaklava pass Mallala and when Heaslip kicked his fourth, the Peckers finished the quarter nearly two goals in front. Steve Tannock, Harkness and Milne led the comeback by Balaklava, after Mallala won the first half of the third quarter, with Coe, Garth Plunkett and Clothier trying to lift the Magpies. Ryan Harris, moved up forward mid way through the third quarter, marked and kicked truly for the locals. B O’Leary took a top mark under pressure and kicked his second, to keep the visitors in the game. The game see-sawed between both half back lines for a while, until good link up from Veitch, to Arbon to Krieg, to Butterfield who kicked his first, virtually sealed the game for Balaklava. The Magpies were not done yet and B O’Leary snapped truly for his third, but unfortunately it was too little too late as the siren sounded, Balaklava winning by 11 points. Peckers Harkness, Lachlan Speissegger and Veitch were good in the last quarter, with Speissegger and Heaslip the best for the game. Clothier and Ben O’Leary played well in the last and were also Mallala’s best overall.

Eagles get close to Bombers NINE points was all that separated second placed Hamley Bridge against cellar dwellers, Hummocks-Watchman Eagles, following a threatening comeback by HWE in the final quarter in a great match at Lochiel on Saturday. The Bombers started the better of the two teams but were wasteful early, spraying shots at goal that on another day, could have proven costly. “We’ve done that a few weeks in a row now,” Bombers coach, Ash Barnett said. “We aren’t so much burning the ball but we’ve certainly been pretty inaccurate in front of goals.” Another four goals to one in the second term had spectators thinking Hamley were set to run away with another big win on the back of a HWE fadeout, the Bombers leading by 32 points at the main change. Eagles defender, Tom Forrest, went down with a severe ankle injury, causing a reshuffle in the backline. “He had been very good, so we shifted Sam Baker into defence, who did a great job, while we also moved James Mader to centre half back, who gave us excellent run from the backline,” HWE coach, David Cluse said. “We had to get a bit more system into our game.” The two sides traded blows in the third term, booting four goals each to keep the Eagles within a sniff of the Bombers, fast running out of legs with injuries to ruckman James Sullivan, Kirk Heberle, Craig Taylor and Tyler Darwin starting to take their toll. “We copped three or four injuries throughout the match and finished

REPORT: Les Pearson with 17 on the field for the second time in three weeks,” Barnett said. “They played well and unsettled us a bit in the last half, when some of our young kids didn’t quite stand up to the pressure on the day.” In a thrilling final term, HWE pressed for victory and slammed on six goals to two, which in the end was just short of the win. “We definitely went in wanting to win again,” Cluse said. “We’ve had good games against them, which does help the lads build some confidence to put in a good effort. “A couple of senior players opened up about being too negative recently. “We spoke about being more positive and persistent.” Cluse had recently expressed his opinion that of the top four teams in the league, Hamley Bridge were yet to impress him as much as the likes of Two Wells, Virginia and Mallala. “It would have been nice to win as when you say something, you like to back it up,” he said. “We do match up well against them and maybe they play a similar style aligned to us, which could help that.” Jack Hatcher put in a great match for the Eagles. “He played on ball and it was probably the best game he’s played but he heads back to Darwin now, so I guess it is good for him to leave on a high note,” Cluse said. “Cam McKinnon was also very good and pushed up the ground, catching just about everything.” Dylan Cicolella’s in-

fluence on the match was telling. “I think he may have been the catalyst, which sparked the change for us,” Cluse said. “We’d been looking for some drive and a release out the back all season. “He went to half back and provided that release point and run.” Barnett gave HWE credit for their competitive performance. “They came to play and named a pretty reasonable side,” he said. “We’ve struggled with them all year and they just seem to rise to the occasion.” Barnett believed Adam Turrell’s contribution in the ruck and around the stoppages for the Eagles was tough to counter, suggesting he may have been best on ground. With only one match to go and the top two spot sewn up, complacency may have been a factor in the Bombers’ modest win. “It’s hard to say, possibly as it was something we had talked about,” Barnett revealed. That said, the result was still a Hamley Bridge win, midfielder, Valor Thach, building an impressive run of form. “He’s been playing his role, which is good for us,” Barnett said. “He’s sparked us when he’s had to and tried to lift blokes with his actions more so than his words. “I’ve been happy with his last month or so.” Rookie, Rhys Darwin, also shone when the chips were down, while Barnett also believed Malcolm Greenwood was hitting his straps and starting to put his stamp on matches, a dangerous sign for other clubs heading into the finals.

keep improving to make sure they’re playing each week.” Tallan Leighton will probably be rested again, as will Eamon Fetherstonaugh, who is a vital, yet widely underrated part of the Two Wells team. “We rate him pretty highly and he may only have 15 touches a game but what he does with them is often damaging,” Thomson said. Jacob Hart is sure to get another run-with role after claiming a few scalps of late. His match up will probably be either Heath Pym or Cameron Faulkner. United defeated Two Wells at Long Plains earlier this season, so there should be some belief amongst the Tigers that they could pull it off again. The desire to distance themselves from the wooden spoon should also inspire yet another competitive performance out of a team arguably unlucky not to have won more matches. Tyson Ettridge’s recent injury could mean he will miss a few weeks, which means Brett Sharman probably faces the unenviable task of rucking against Simon Feast. Sharman’s effort against Virginia two weeks ago will need to be replicated if his side is to have any chance of winning this one. BALAKLAVA lawn bowler, Renee McPharlin, claimed her second prestigious Junior Golden Nugget on the world famous indoor green at Tweed Heads Bowls Club earlier this month. 32 of Australia’s best juniors took part in the competition, which is a forerunner to the annual Golden Nugget Prestige Singles. Renee is pictured with runner up, Chloe Stewart.

Shane competed in the Lords Taverner’s division, while Tegan played in the Open Women’s team. In the Lords Taverner’s division, South Australia had five wins and five losses, finishing in fourth place. The team unfortunately lost in the

semi-final to Western Australia, with Smith contributing well for his side, finishing the carnival with 165 runs and 21 wickets. The South Australian open women’s team finished the minor rounds in third place with four wins and four losses. The team claimed an unlikely 133118 win over Victoria in the semi-final but unfortunately lost the grand final 82-126 to Queensland. Tegan made 175 runs for the tournament and also claimed 10 wickets.

Two Wells Men’s Open Day

July has been busy for the Two Well Golf Club, with the conclusion of the Men’s Club Championships and a successful Open Day. Club president, Chris Girling, had a wonderful month of golf taking out both events. Chris’ form throughout the Club Championships was fantastic, shooting rounds of 75, 76, 76, 75 and only got better on the Open Day with a 111 over 27 holes. B Grade club champion was Paul Shields, who also put together some very consistent rounds to edge out the other contenders. The Men’s Open Day was a terrific day for the club, with over 50 players from clubs around the mid north and surrounding areas participating in a fabulous day’s golf and competing for some great prizes. Two Wells players took home many of the major prizes, including the A Grade and B Grade Championships. Thanks to all members for their big efforts in preparing the course, cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner on the day, running the bar and scoring, etc. Thanks also thank you to our Open Day sponsors. The Ladies on Tuesdays have been going strong with Debra Lamont, Elaine Grigg and Kathy Stubing heading the winners list this month. Julie Holland, Kathy Stubing, Elaine Grigg and Judi Frost look set to dual it out for the Club Championship’s match play rounds in the coming weeks. If you would like to join us,

Ladies also play on Tuesdays around 9.15am and new members are always welcome. The men also have a Thursday competition from 9.15am, usually followed by a BBQ lunch and a couple of beers after the day’s golf.

BALAKLAVA’S Jesse Shepherd takes the ball for a run during Saturday’s Men’s hockey match at Riverton.

Just 27 hopefuls turned out last Saturday, as we entered the 7 week snake oil season, to lend faint hope to the 2nd of 3 qualifying rounds for our 2013 Club Championships. And so it came to pass that, despite the fact that we were all hurtling through space at no less than 1,335,719kph, Bill Parkin (73/71) kept his feet on the ground to grind down the A Grade field, with Doug Taylor (85/73) claiming 2nd spot and Peter Thompson (82/74) third. Then came C. Michael (84/74), M. Loy (86/75), M. Hameister (88/78), I. Michael (89/79) and W. Lokan (92/82). Wayne Nagle, non-plussed to hear that if all his DNA molecules were laid end-toend they would extend to Pluto and back ten times (think of the sun as a 2’ diam. beach ball, the Earth a peppercorn some 30 paces distant and Pluto a full stop 1.2km. away, for a sense of perspective) nonetheless managed to focus sufficient to score 84/69 and so batter the B graders into submission. Ben Michael (90/75) powered home into 2nd place while his progenitor Scott settled for 3rd. with 93/78. Then came W. Berry (98/80), D. Trickett (101/81) and R. Hahn (101/86). Tania Matz, somewhat confused to learn that a single grain of salt contains 20 billion, billion atoms, managed to keep her cool and smite a winning 95/73 to subdue the C grade, although needing the good Count Bach to keep Greg Sonntag (95/73) out of the limelight and he, in turn, to lay Les Pearson (100/73) low in 3rd. spot. Then came A. Manuel (97/75), Chris Hahesy (103/76), Moya Hayes (108/78), D. Addison (100/78), A. Henstridge (101/78), P. Friedrichs (01/79), I. Jenkin (110/83), J. Michael (106/85), B. Fremantle (110/86) and submitting his second card in search of a handicap, John Matz. Bill Parkin won the hallowed Eddie Dennison Putting Trophy (which he made, by the way) with just 47 putts required for his 36 holes. A Birdie was achieved by Bill Parkin on the 3rd., but it was Digby Addison who held Nearest The Pin at that hole, leaving Scott Michael to claim his on the 8th., Bruce Fremantle a nice one on the 10th and the Scott Michael again, with a mighty 2nd. shot onto the 13th. green. Golfer of the Winter points went to Wayne Nagle (6), Bill Parkin (5), Doug Taylor (4), Greg Sonntag (3), Les Pearson (2) and the remaining relics, one each. This Saturday we’ll battle it out for the Simons Exhaust & Auto Trophy, a Stableford stoush, the “Off” to be officiated by “Wild Will” Lokan and the auld mugs to be filled by Mark Loy at the 19th.. On the very next day, we’ll determine the 2013 Club Championship, with the following luminaries lining up with the following from the following tees at the following times and no, repeat no discussion to be entered into - Tee Block 1: 0830 - M. Hameister & P. Thompson; 0838 - I. Michael, D. Taylor & J. Michael; 0846 - W. Parkin, C. Michael & M. Loy; 0854 - W. Nagle, S. Michael & B.

OWEN

Majestic conditions set the scene as the Owen Springs Golf Club hosted another action packed Stableford round last Saturday. Nine of Owen’s greatest sportsmen competed in the event, which turned out to be one of the closest rounds this season. With the lead changing hands nine times during the match, fans were on the edge of their seats. President, Peter Sullivan, said this was one of the closest games he could remember. “It was intense being out there watching the leaderboard change so often.” Congratulations to Owen’s up and coming champion golfer, Jake Harkness, who won the day narrowly beating vice captain, Glen Ince by one with 43 points. Then came Life Member, the power house Les Hean, who recovered from the showdown

Results from Saturday August 10 – Two Wells v Hamley Bridge Interclub Challenge, at Two Wells. Sponsor: Coopers Brewery . With the rematch of the Interclub Challenge on Saturday, a “Captains call to arms” was called for for all Two Wells golfers to be available to defend the Honour of Two Wells Golf Club against the northern hoard from Hamley Bridge, who were planning to ambush us on Saturday. We are currently holding the Interclub Challange Trophy and WE WILL STAND AND DEFEND! We will meet them on the fairways, we will meet them on the scrapes, we will ambush Anton in the sour sobs, and we will not surrender. Pass the word to all the members. The Hamley boys arrived in force very early hoping to catch us off guard as we did up their way in the last meeting. The Two Wells lads, also keen, arrived to ensure I wasn’t intimidated by their strong presence. The visitors showed strong promise with taking our prized meat trays, four of the NTP’s and one of the long drives. John Mitchell played well with 38 points and eagled the 10th, with Wim Van Pelt strong with 38 points and Mick Nichols third with 36 points. Adam Bail had a strong finish with an outstanding 42 points, along with Andrew Baker and Danny Smith, both on 40 points, with James Weir and Yogi Frencken also worthy mentions on 38 points. Both clubs had an outstanding presence with 41 players on the course, which is testament to the great respect the clubs have for each other. As always, a great day with the BBQ meal after the game thanks to local lads, John Boon and Neil Bowden who cooked up for us all. Helen and Yoli

did a great job organising the salads and working behind the bar. The final result for the day was Hamley Bridge with an average of 29.7 and Two Wells with an average of 33.7. Congratulations Two Wells – three in a row. Super effort with some of our good golfer’s away. One must acknowledge Adam Bail, who told me during the week, “Look out, we have a wild card!” – and as vice-captain, a big thank you to Adam for your work today checking the score cards and ensuring all the scores and results were correct for presentation today. All in all, 41 golfers had a great day and team spirits on both sides well received. Rumour has it Anton and Bob are plotting revenge for the next meeting at Hamley in May 2014. We could have our tee shirts printed by then. Perhaps we should hold off in case it’s a FOUR PEAT.? Congratulations to both clubs’ members who made the day a success – we will all look forward to the next installment of the Challenge at Hamley Bridge.

Virginia snatches one-goal victory Courtside

A1 APNA review with Merridy Manuel

Sunscreen replaced umbrellas on Saturday. All games were potential finals combinations and promised to be do or die affairs. However, illness prevented the grand final rematch I hoped for between Hummocks and Hamley. Hamley won easily by 17. The Two WellsVirginia game made up for it though, a nail biter with Virginia holding on to win by a goal. Balaklava kept ahead of Mallala, winning by five. Hamley Bridge 49 def Hummocks 32 Hummocks have been plagued with illness this week. Hummock’s playing coach, Samantha Nicholls, only managed a quarter on Saturday, having been off work all week. Beth Reid was also unavailable due to illness. Hamley’s playing coach, Lee Barnett, was not getting too excited about winning. “They didn’t play their best team so it’s not a true result,” explained Lee. Hummocks raced away to a four-goal lead in the first quarter. Hamley responded to be ahead by two in the second against a rearranged Hummocks team.

Hamley continued to dominate, keeping Hummocks’ score to just six for each quarter. A huge final term, saw Hamley shoot 16 goals to Hummocks’ six, blowing out the final score to 17. “I’m not all doom and gloom,” commented Sam. “We had to rotate the WD position because the A2 had limited numbers and all had to play their game beforehand. “I was pleased because the girls still banded together and turned the ball over, not an easy feat against Hamley.” Both centres earned best on court, two in a row for Paula White from Hamley and three in a row for the consistent efforts of Sarah Young. Quarter scores (HBHWE): first 10-14, second 22-20, third 33-26, final 49-32. Virginia 42 def Two Wells 41 Virginia travelled to Two Wells and played a tough game in the heat. Two Wells took a threegoal lead in the first quarter and maintained this to half time. Two Wells swapped WD Rebecca Pym, bringing on Phoebe Schmidt. Virginia shuffled five positions and played an intense third

A furious final term saw Virginia hang in to win by one goal. “A fantastic game of netball played by both sides,” said Virginia’s playing coach, Sherilee Matheson. “We persisted with our game plan and it paid off in the end. “A great game played by all seven players, we all gave 110 per cent!” Two Wells coach, Stacey Pym, was also happy with her team. “My girls played fair and kept to our game plan no matter what happened on court. “We are disappointed we lost as we felt we were the better team on the day.” Goal keepers from both teams won best players, Jamie-Lee Healey for Virginia and

Diary of a farmer’s wife – another generation • Continued from last week September 10, 1931: Guess the whole district must have turned out for Joanne’s christening. The church was filled with jonquils and wattles and everyone was in summer dresses. We drove to church… Joanne, Mother, John and myself, between paddocks bright green with young wheat and fallows ablaze with yellow dandelions. All afternoon people called with gifts. Now we sit, quite exhausted, surrounded by crumbling cream sponges and roses scattering petals on the carpet. How wonderful people are. June 30, 1935: Day after day – like the Ancient Mariner – we

Let’s not forget the complete amazement everyone felt when Usman Khawaja was given out caught behind despite clear evidence he didn’t hit the ball. Add to that Chris Broad’s cut shot directly to first slip that was remarkably given not out, which cost a stack of runs. How England can strut around in the glory of an Ashes series victory, despite underperforming considerably, is a joke. They can get stuffed. It is only a matter of time before their luck runs out and hopefully it is in the next Ashes series in Australia. I can’t wait. I know we have been blessed in a decade of Warne, McGrath, Gilchrist, Ponting, Hayden, Langer and Gillespie but the lack of actual star quality in England’s side now exemplifies how embarrassing the three-nil scoreline is.

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

The NRC provides a one-stop-shop front for information and services relevant to: land, pest and water management, national parks, wildlife and environment services.

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.

All services traditionally performed from the Crystal Brook office will continue across the Region.
