Armed robber flees
Machete bandit escapes daring Virginia Bank holdup POLICE are hunting for the offender involved in an armed robbery of the Bendigo Bank at Virginia on Saturday morning. The masked man confronted staff opening the store about 8.30am and threatened them with a machete. He demanded access to the safe but the two bank employees seized their chance to flee the scene soon after. “The staff members are very brave. An op-
portunity presented itself and they did exactly what they had to do,’’Metropolitan duty officer, Superintendent Bob Fauser, said. Staff were interviewed by police on Saturday. The robbery sparked a five-hour lockdown of the town centre, as SWAT officers and police surrounded the Virginia Shopping Centre after the offender was spotted on the roof. Police sealed off nearby roads and shut down businesses in and around Virginia Shopping Centre.
Police conducted a thorough search of the centre and were confident the offender was no longer there. Businesses re-opened soon after. The suspect is described as Australian, of average height and build, wearing a darkhooded top and mask. Anyone with information on the incident should call Crimestoppers on 1800 33 300. n POLICE outside the bank on Saturday morning. – PICTURE Lisa Redpath.
It’s back to the future with wards Bec O’Brien reports: District Council of Mallala’s lengthy, expensive and drawn-out Elector Representation Review has finally come to a conclusion, with councillors opting to revert back to a previously proposed three-ward model following a meeting on Monday night. The review has been a contentious issue for both councillors and residents, with an independent consultant earlier in the year putting forward a number of models for council to consider. n Continued Page 6

Will it stop raining now Spring has sprung? THE time has arrived for roses to bloom, buds and blossoms to flower, and for us to make hay while the sun shines. Yes, it’s spring time! Balaklava Primary School teacher and Kapunda resident, Rosy Bloom, lived up to her name, looking “bloomin’ lovely” amidst this bunch of flowers. Officially the spring season in the southern hemisphere is from September to November, and is the time vegetation begins to appear after a (usually) wet and cold winter. Balaklava Town Hall is hosting “Gardening on the Plains this Saturday, from 10am–4pm. There’s plenty of different plants to see and buy, with advice on everything from lawns to roses. So what is flowering in gardens at the moment? Local gardeners, Joy Maxwell and Shirley Bradock, have reported limited success with daffodils this year, although other bulbs are flowering, but they have had lots of success with weeds!
The weather will soon warm up, the days will get longer, and hay and canola will be cut. While farmers have been busy spraying crops with fungicide, many have found recent wet conditions an ideal time to do a spot of walking to spot spray weeds. But the big question is, is it going to continue to rain? According to the Bureau of Meteorology website, the chance of exceeding the median rainfall for August to October is more than 60 per cent over most of mainland Australia. The chance rises to more than 80 per cent over southeast SA, southern NSW and most of Victoria. For our area, the chance is around 75 per cent. Such odds mean for every 10 years with similar climate patterns to those currently observed, about six to eight August to October periods would be expected to be wetter than average, while about two to four would be drier.

Mr Hall said becoming a member was also a great idea, only costing $50 entry, including access to the comfortable members’bar and free entry to all other race meets throughout the year. Mallala’s Elle Missen, who is the Face of the Cup this year, will be judging the Fashion of the Fields. Special guests this year include David Devine, previously of Devine Homes, who owns the racehorse Sizzling with AFL legend, Leigh Matthews. Premier Jay Weatherill will present the Cup after the big race, while Opposition leader, Steven Marshall, will also be attending. Cynthia Gustavsson will be singing the national anthem. Mr Hall said the club had installed new speakers the length of the straight, a cost saving which will be enjoyed long into the future, as they were previously hired each year.
Supermarket wine sales out
After several months of consulting with industry groups and citizens, the State government has announced it will not proceed with laws to allow the sale of wine in South Australian supermarkets. Deputy Premier, John Rau, said the intention of the original proposal, with which he continued to agree, were not able to be delivered. “When this proposal was first raised with me by independent grocers, it seemed to me it could benefit both the independent grocers and smaller South Australian wineries. “After considering all submissions and seeking legal advice, I am now of the view we cannot achieve the desired outcome without hurting independent bottle-shops, our local wine industry and helping Coles and Woolworths.” Mr Rau said dominance of Woolworths and Coles would be increased if the original proposal proceeded. Several independent supermarkets within the local region would have been able to sell wine (if desired). Plains Producer, Wednesday, August 28, 2013

Another wish comes true for our super girl Louise Michael reports:

Balaklava local, Faith Batistessa, received the best eighth birthday present ever - a week long trip for her and her family to the Gold Coast. Faith’s trip was made possible through the Barossa Valley branch of Make-A-Wish. Make-A-Wish grants wishes for children with life threatening conditions, making every eligible child’s wish come true. Faith has been in remission from a rare and aggressive form of cancer, Neuroblastoma, since mid 2012. “She was so excited as she was going to pat the dolphins at Sea World,” said her father, Raf. Raf, Faith, her brother Eli, and Raf’s mum and invaluable helper, Vicki, returned on Saturday from their week long trip. “The whole trip was fantastic and our resort was great,” said Raf. “Faith loved patting the dolphins, and the best ride was
Scooby Doo at Movie World.” “We were very grateful to Make-A-Wish for giving Faith this holiday, as she has been through so much.” September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month. “When Faith was having treatment, she lost every hair on her body, getting down to just a few eyelashes,” said Raf. To raise funds for some of the organisations which have helped Raf and his family through Faith’s illness, Little Heroes and Childhood Cancer
Association, Raf is raising funds to “give something back.” At the end of September, Raf is going from hairy to hairless - every hair on his body will go! “After what Faith went through during her treatment, I’m sure I can undergo one day of pain, having my hair shaved, cut or waxed,” he laughed. Keep an eye out in the next few weeks for details of Raf’s fundraising.

Regional health hubs a must - report
Regional health hubs are vital if people in rural areas are to receive the same level of health services as city-dwellers, according to a report released by Family First. Party spokesperson Bob Day said health hubs need to be established in seven regions around South Australia - Port Lincoln, Port Augusta, Port Pirie, the Barossa Valley, the Riverland, Murray Bridge and the South East to ensure people don’t have to travel to Adelaide all the time for specialised health treatment.
“As people get older, their ability to travel is reduced,” said Day. “If people living in rural areas are to receive the same level of health care as those living in Adelaide, then the health hubs will need a full compliment of health services. That includes mental health, suicide prevention, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines, as well as the full range of health professionals - doctors, nurses and other allied health workers. For example, at present there is only one
ADVERTORIAL
MRI machine outside of Adelaide, compared to dozens in rural Victoria! “We need to design our health system for the benefit of those who use the system, not those who run it,” said Day. “Rural life is being torn to shreds. In some country towns you have to wait six weeks to see a doctor.” The maternity unit at the Millicent hospital for example, must not be closed. In fact there needs to be more obstetric services around the State, not less.
Valuing older people
MPs lack real world experience Most members of parliament these days are either ex-union officials, political staffers or lawyers. In a report released this week, Family First Party spokesperson Bob Day said it was to Australia’s detriment that most of our politicians have never had a job in the real world. “They go to university, get a job working for a politician or a union and then become politicians themselves. The disastrous results of their lack of real world experience is there for all to see. “Whilst the rest of us have been out earning a living and working in the real
world making things, growing things and building things, today’s MPs have been busy working their way up the political ladder ingratiating themselves and gaining the patronage of the power brokers in their respective parties. It’s a power game to them. Once they become members of parliament they don’t listen to anyone outside of politics. “They don’t know what they don’t know. “Before deciding who to vote for at this election, I would strongly recommend you inquire if your local MP or candidate has ever had a proper job!” Family First MP Robert Brokenshire... farmer

Older people are the glue which holds our communities together, said Family First spokesman Bob Day. “Their involvement as volunteers and in the care of grandchildren enriches us all. “It is important that they experience a good quality of life both while they are active and when their need for care is greater,” he said Family First is advocating for an increase in the aged pension to help older people cope with the dramatic increase in water and power prices. “Some of our oldies are finding it a bit hard going. They’re doing it tough,” he said. “What we are hearing is that they would like to stay in their own homes as long as possible but when this is no longer an option they are finding it difficult to get into aged care. They are unsure who the agedcare providers are, what services they offer and what it all costs,” he said. A significant growth in aged care residential facilities and services in Australia has resulted in older people and their families being not across all the details.

It’s great to see communities working together, not having blinkers on and seeing the “bigger picture” for their town, club or group. It is becoming vitally important in rural areas to keep communities going and keep people shopping in the town whenever possible. Locals expect businesses, which includes farmers by the way, to sponsor their sporting clubs, attend working bees and use their own machinery, donate something for their raffle or quiz night, and also attend these same functions. In return, some locals regularly drive out of the area to do their general shopping, obviously not taking into account time, fuel and depreciation of their vehicle. An occasional day out, or ducking into a shop on the way home from Adelaide, is not what we’re talking about here. Support your local businesses, when and wherever you can, and bring a real sense of community to your town, like the small town of Dublin has done. The Fodder Store has come to the rescue of the community plant stall, by making a space available for it in the store. Over the years the stall has been at the former Mobil fuel outlet, then the roadhouse, but space for the stall was unavailable following expansions at the roadhouse before Christmas. All was not lost as owners of the Fodder Store, Amanda and Rene, stepped in and saved the day.

The stall will continue to stock popular tomato and capsicum plants available from mid September (donated by Wood Stock Nurseries) bearded iris and more, along with succulents, annuals and any other propagated plants that are in season all year round.
Local Pat Thompson, keeps an eye on the stock ordering, and also propagates many plants for the stall. Plants sold have always had a good reputation for being well established and healthy. Amanda and Rene have also added bags of potting mix to their
stock to help your garden grow. Since its inception in 1998 until the move in November 2012, the stall has raised several thousand dollars for various Dublin History Group Community projects, and the Dublin Cemetery Gate Restoration and New Fence Project. Funds raised have recently enabled the History Group to purchase new blinds for the Institute and former supper room - now Research Centre. History Group’s next project is to purchase and plant 17 trees in the institute grounds, complete with a plaque, in memory of the 17 soldiers from the Hundred of Dublin, who never returned from WWI. Relatives of the soldiers will be asked to plant the trees on ANZAC day, April 25, 2014, to coincide with the celebration of the landing at Gallipoli. It’s a community affair, as Lower Light Hotel has also assisted the History Group by selling their pickles and jams for the past two years. See, it’s great when everyone works together. Blyth CWA meets on the third Tuesday of the month at 10.30am in the hall supper room. BYO lunch, and own craft to work on before lunch. After lunch there is a meeting, followed by afternoon tea. New members are always welcome.

Over the years, auxiliaries have purchased 7000 items in the hospital at a value of $76 million. Equipment purchased has paved the way for SA to be number one in keyhole surgery for children.

SPEAKING of auxiliary’s, Emergency Services Auxiliary (ESA), which supports CFS and SAAS ambulance, is looking for some helpers. It is vital we keep groups such as the CFS and ambulance going, and stock them with the correct equipment, which often is not supplied by the government. As these groups can’t run by themselves, this is where auxilia-
ries come in. Along with donations from various organisations or individuals, auxiliaries fundraise to support the groups and assist with the purchase of extra much needed equipment. ESA at Port Wakefield is one of only two auxiliaries in SA, and has just eight members. Current members would love some assistance from other locals, and invite interested people to come to the next meeting on September 4 at 2.30pm at the CFS building, East St, to find out what it’s all about.

Candidates get the local ‘vibe’ FIVE of the seven candidates for Wakefield participated in a political forum, held at Salt Church in Gawler on Sunday evening. Liberal Candidate for Wakefield, Tom Zorich, was a notable absentee, along with Palmer United Party hopeful, Dino Musolino. Questions were asked from within the audience with a roving microphone, issues raised including refugees, debt, foreign ownership, same sex marriage, food labelling, cost of living, the economy and education. Candidates were also afforded a two-minute opening and closing statement. All of the four candidates who responded before deadline, incumbent member, Nick Champion, Greens candidate, Sherree Clay, Tony Musolino of Katter’s Australia Party and independent, Mark Aldridge, agreed the forum was a well-run event. “Candidates were given the opportunity to be heard, and I think in any election forum that is important,” Ms Clay said. “It also gave us the opportunity to listen to and address the issues facing

our electorate and to provide people with answers.,” Independent candidate Mark Aldridge said: “Serving democracy well are words rarely used around election time (yet) the forum indeed achieved that,” Mr Aldridge added. “All it needed was to be telecast so the whole electorate could become adequately informed on the
candidates and what they stand for.” Mr Champion spoke at length about the macro economy and Australia’s performance against other countries of the world. “We’ve been boxing above our weight range on a global scale,” he said. Mr Champion was also critical of Mr Zorich’s absence.
“I attended when I was a candidate in 2007,” he said. “I think that’s the first rule of politics – rock up. “It changed the dynamic when criticism was directed at the two major parties. I became the sole defender of the major party status quo.” Mr Zorich had advised the event organisers by email on August 7 he would not be attending the forum.
“Unfortunately, I have other party commitments that have come up on Sunday and I am unable to move them,” he wrote in the email. Ms Clay left the event satisfied. “I think the event itself was well hosted and all candidates were fair,” she said. Mr Aldridge claimed some figures used by Mr Champion were inaccurate. “My only criticism was as it went on, Labor as usual went down the path of trying to spin the truth, using dodgy facts and figures,” he said. “This is where I had wished we were in a debate, so I could have held him to account, but I doubt he would ever risk taking me on live anywhere on any topic, which is a shame.” Mr Champion, Mr Aldridge and Ms Clay indicated they would be travelling to the northern parts of the electorate in the coming week, although exact dates, times and locations were yet to be finalised. Mr Zorich has indicated he will be visiting Port Wakefield (BP Roadhouse 10-11am), Balaklava (Royal Hotel 12-1pm), Mallala (Mallala Hotel 2-3pm) and Dublin (New Dublin Hotel 4-5pm) on Friday.
‘Stay with us,’ urge Liberal senators LIBERAL senators Anne Ruston and Sean Edwards, were in the district this week to promote Liberal Senate candidate, Cathie Webb, along with encouraging voters not to spread their votes at the coming election. Mrs Webb was selected at number three on the Liberal senate ticket for the coming election. Ms Ruston said voters would be presented with many options on the senate ticket but spreading their votes to candidates outside of the major parties could work against themselves. “Those preferences could end up in strange places,” she said. With legislations required to pass between both the House of Representatives and the Senate, Ms Ruston
said if voters were voting one way for MHRs and another in the Senate, they could effectively be blocking the government they voted in. It is a message she has been spreading while travelling across regional South Australia. Both Mr Edwards, a Clare resident, and Ms Ruston also visited Balco at Bowmans during their visit. “There are some fantastic success stories out there of businesses who have taken the initiative…and I like to be across those successes,” Ms Ruston said.
Candidate threatens legal action A WEEK after being held in police custody following his arrest, independent candidate for Wakefield, Mark Aldridge, is adamant he will take legal action against the South Australian Police. Mr Aldridge said he was arrested on suspicion of alleged breaches of his firearm licence. He was imprisoned for six hours before being released without charge. Mr Aldridge said he will be suing on two courses of action, including specific performance and false arrest and imprisonment.

Wards to remain, say Mallala councillors • From page 1 • FIRST option for DCM councillors to consider was to have no wards and nine councillors, plus a mayor elected by the community; the alternative was three wards comprising three representatives for each ward and a mayor elected by the community. Each option would see the total number of
councillors reduced from 11 to 10. At council’s April 22 meeting councillors voted in favour of keeping the ward structure. However, following community consultation indicating support was for no wards, this decision was overturned at its June 24 meeting and community consultation was again sought, this
time on abolishing wards altogether. DCM chief executive officer, Charles Mansueto, said at the time, the decision reflected councillors’ concerns the proposed three-ward model was not fair. “There’s pros and cons on each model,” Mr Mansueto had said. “But it really comes down to what the electors
think is a fair representation for the district. “The proposed Mallala/Dublin ward was still too big on its own, in terms of area, for three councillors to cover. “Also, because of the proposed growth in Two Wells it would be very likely council would have to undertake another electoral review in two or three years time if they persisted with a ward structure.” But at Monday night’s
meeting councillors again changed their mind, preferring to vote in favour of a motion put forward by Cr Daniele in support of the three-ward option. Cr Daniele said having represented the community on council for more than 35 years it was important for residents to know who to go to in their area with council-related concerns. “If you have got a problem you go to the people you know,” he told
his fellow councillors. “I’ve been representing the people of Two Wells for almost 38 years (and) I believe in what I’m doing, to improve the area where I live. “That’s where you get the best representation, where you know the people you are representing, that’s why I believe wards should remain.” Cr Keen seconded the motion. Cr Strudwicke voted in favour of the motion but had this to say:
“I think we have to go with the community with what they say, but I think it’s a really unsatisfactory model and it’s going to unfairly disadvantage the councillors in the north in terms of the area they have to represent.” The motion was passed, with Cr Wasley calling a division. He was the only councillor to vote against the motion. Cr Picard was absent for the meeting.
WRC to consider land sale suggestion

WAKEFIELD Regional Council will consider a motion to sell the excess land at Everard Central waste depot, moved by Western Ward councillor, Richard Pain, at tonight’s council meeting. Cr Pain’s motion suggests selling the land via auction on the open market. Council purchased about 375 hectares on the southern and western boundaries of the existing Everard facility, for a cost of $485,000 back in 2006. The plan at the time was to expand the landfill site to receive
waste from neighbouring councils, and possibly even develop compost and fertiliser from chicken manure. None of this proceeded. Also tonight, Hamley Bridge Community Sports Centre president, Lyall Haynes, will present a deputation to council regarding the details of the redevelopment of the sporting facilities in the town. Plans of the redevelopment will be officially launched during a special function at the Hamley Bridge Football Club on Saturday. They include several major upgrades, including refurbishment
and extension of the main building, new tennis and netball courts, caravan and camping area and the relocation of the community shed to the former kindergarten building. Council will also decide on carrying its Sport and Recreation Facilities Program and Halls Maintenance Program, as allocated in the 2013/14 Budget, while a development plan amendment for Balco’s proposed Bowmans intermodal site expansion is set to go to public consultation, pending council approval.

Lochiel clubroom revamp
Family reunion to mark hotel’s 150th
Les Pearson reports: NEW clubroom facilities will be built at Lochiel Recreation Reserve on the back of a $100,000 State Government grant. The grant was part of more than $6.4 million funding from the State Government’s Community Recreation and Sport Facilities Program (CRSFP). The successful application was compiled and submitted by the Lochiel Progress Association. LPA committee member, John Nicholls, said the funding would be used towards a $280,000 revamp of the facilities at Lochiel. He said the current bar was riddled with white ants, the current canteen and kitchen were substandard and the transportable building at the oval needed removing. The revamp project includes building a new 25m x 15m building, with 15m of frontage to the oval. A new canteen, kitchen, bar, storeroom and clubroom area will feature within the new building, as well as some new toilet facilities. Mr Nicholls said the project was a major investment at the Lochiel facility, on top of previous projects including a new sprinkler system, spectator verandah, tennis

The netball and tennis courts are also on the agenda for resurfacing in about 12 months. As with all grant applications, plenty of paper work went in behind the scenes.
“I know by the time you put all the documents together, it would have been about 80 pages, which all took a long time to compile,” Mr Nicholls said. Once the LPA has completed its commitment form for the grant, Mr Nicholls said work on the project could start as soon as mid-September. “I’m hoping to start as
soon as football is done and dusted,” he said. The project is supported by both the HummocksWatchman Eagles Football Club, Hummocks Netball Club, Lochiel Tennis Club, Wakefield Regional Council and Lend a Hand, a community funding group run by the Snowtown Lions. With the huge revamp all
in the works, Mr Nicholls said it was exciting times for the local connected clubs. “I believe it’s going to be a good thing for our community,” he said. “It will help drastically improve our amenities, which are in dire need of upgrading, and help keep the facility viable in the long term.”
THERE’S going to be a double celebration at Lochiel on October 26 and 27. Not only is the hotel turning 150, but descendants of Hiram Longmire, who originally established the hotel in 1863 then known as the Travellers Inn, will gather for a reunion. Hiram, and his wife Ann, were lace makers from Nottingham, and their occupation took them to Calais, France in the 1840s where the industry was seen to be growing and prospering. Due to political and industrial unrest across Europe, the family sought new beginnings in SA, arriving in Port Adelaide in 1848. Hiram found employment in farming at Dry Creek and Riverton, before establishing the Travellers Inn. It’s the third time in recent history the descendants of Hiram Longmire have gathered for a reunion, the first being held in Clare in 1972, and the second at Kadina in 2002. It is expected hundreds will attend the joint celebrations in Lochiel from around Australia and overseas.

Children bring characters to life for Book Week BALAKLAVA
Balaklava Primary School students presented “Readers Theatre” performances at various businesses in the town as part of Book Week celebrations. The Plains Producer received a visit from children (shown left) portraying characters from a book they read – the Shaggy Gully Times, based on a newspaper. “It was wonderful to see the kids having such fun,” said Plains Producer manager, Andrew Manuel. “We really enjoyed their visit and performance. What a great way to involve our whole community. Congratulations to the students and school.” Teacher Cherie Cleary, speaking on behalf of the school community, said all at the school appreciated the wonderful reception – not only by the traders but the customers as well, who were a magnificent audience for the performances. “Students were delighted with the response they received, during the parade, performance in the Triangle and Readers Theatres,” Mrs Cleary said. “It demonstrates the kindness and generosity of the Balaklava community. It was much appreciated.”
TWO WELLS
If you happened to be driving down the main street of Two Wells last Wednesday, you would have been treated to a colourful sight of hundreds of children dressed as characters from much-loved books, nursery rhymes and movies. The annual parade through the streets of the town is a highlight of the year for many students, and lots of parents and residents lined the street to wave them by. Afterwards everyone gathered in the school’s gym and watched as each class paraded past and showed off their fun, clever and inspiring costumes.
Not too old for dress-ups are Virginia primary students (ABOVE) Francesca, Lauren, Grace, Courtney and Calvin and RIGHT, The Green Sheep, also known as Hoan, and fellow student Madison.

It was smiles all round as staff and students at Virginia Primary School celebrated Book Week last Thursday. Dressed as their favourite book, movie or nursery rhyme characters– or just dressed up for fun – everyone, including the preschool students, paraded around in the community centre to show off their costumes. Many were dressed according to this year’s theme of Reading Across the Universe, others came as fairytale characters, others still in animal costumes.

The students also had a visit from Olympic boxer, Johan Linde, who was there as ambassador of the Premier’s Be Active challenge.

WHAT A ‘CRACKER’ OF A NIGHT!
Horizon puts a sparkle in their smile Horizon Christian School held its biennial fireworks night last Thursday – and thankfully the rain held off! About 550 people enjoyed the festivities and food that each class had prepared. Hot spuds and burgers were extremely popular, as was the fairy floss, show bags, jumping castle and velcro wall. The fireworks were spectacular, showcasing some of the state’s newest fireworks. The school thanked all who attended, and sponsor, Balco. Money raised will go towards new music equipment for the Horizon Centre.

ManoorA resident Elizabeth Calvert is the new Women in Agriculture and Business (WAB) State president, after elections in Kadina. Mrs Calvert said she was honoured to be elected. As well as serving as an elected member with Clare and Gilbert Va l l e y s Council, Mrs Calvert manages an e-learning and ebusiness consultancy and takes a keen interest in issues that shape rural communities, including the tyranny of distance in relation to accessing good health care and education. “The new WAB management team is confident they will take the organisation up to its centenary and beyond,” she said. WAB was formed at Riverton in 1917 to meet the needs of isolated rural women.

Major political parties are being asked 10 key questions by SA’s Local Government Association (LGA). “There is no time like a Federal election to test the commitment of the parties to local communities,” said LGA president, mayor David O’Loughlin. “They’ve had a month’s warning since we issued our election campaign documents ‘An Opportunity’ at the “On the Couch’ session with the ALP’s Tony Zappia, Liberal Christopher Pyne, Democrat Senator Sarah Hanson-Young and Nationals Senate candidate, James Stacey. “Now we want their commitments.” The questions to major parties are: • Will your party support holding a referendum in 2013 to achieve constitutional change? • Commit to increasing the General Purpose grants for Local Government in South Australia by $29 million? • Provide a $5 million infrastructure fund for regional airports and if not how much will you provide? • Make permanent a “Roads to Recovery’ style funding program? • Provide a $20 million commitment to stormwater and wastewater projects in SA and if not how much? • Commit to increases in funding for the HACC program that are in proportion to the growing needs in the community, in particular with an increasing proportion of aged in the population? • Commit to a long-term funding program in partnership with councils to deliver climate change adaptation and energy efficient projects? • Increase the Natural Disaster Resilience Program allocation to South Australia from $2 million to $4 million? •What structure will be established to support economic growth and economic development in regional South Australia and will your party adopt/implement a regional policy framework? •Will you ensure the Regional Development Australia funding commitments, previously made to all councils, are honoured? Responses from the parties will be published on the LGA website at: http://www.lga.sa.gov.au/fedelection2013 along with LGA campaign documents.

Of the 68 entries from Yorke and Mid North this year, judges have awarded 34 finalists across 14 categories. Brand South Australia’s CEO, Karen Raffen, said she was impressed with the achievements regional South Australia produced this year. “We have some great talent in our regions and exceptional people willing to contribute their time and efforts,” said Ms Raffen.

land, to name a few, to gain greater exposure in their area of expertise and help in achieving their business goals,” Mr Hockney said. All winners, finalists, entrants and nominees across the seven South Australian regions will be recognised during October. Tickets for each presentation evening went on sale on Monday and will be made available to purchase online at www.brandsouthaustralia.com. au or by calling 08 8211 8111.

Celebrating 50 years
FTER 50 years of growth and change, Foodland Balaklava now offers all sections of a general supermarket, with 1200m² floor space, up to 16,000 items for sale and 54 employees on the books. It is a gigantic, complex business to run for owners, Mike and Megan Smith, but one they take great pride in. They more than represent the Foodland brand, the state’s premier local supermarket label. The battle to provide a service that rivals the major supermarket chains and secure local business has always been ongoing but one they feel they’re winning. “We always try to offer competitive prices but on the odd occasion we can’t, our service is something we always concentrate on as a point of difference,” Megan said. Their oldest daughter, Jasmyn is currently studying tourism and hospitality at university and related how businesses in those industries are looking to provide customers with an ‘experience’. “I can see how that is starting to be applied in retail,” Megan said. “People want to have an experience every time they shop, and in a way, we’re trying to provide that now too.” Simple things like great customer service, helpful, welcoming employees and a wide range of choice are just a few ways Foodland Balaklava stands out as a great example. Michael and Megan’s oldest child, Dylan, has worked at the shop for five years, and appreciates good work ethics and customer service, learnt from “starting at the bottom” as a stock boy, before moving to

dairy manager. He progressed to second in charge of grocery, and is now store operations manager. The time demands are high, as expected, although Mike tries to get away from the shop more regularly and Megan makes a concerted effort to be home before youngest daughter, Gabi, gets home from school. “She is in year 11 now, so it is becoming easier,” Mike said. “When all three kids were at school, it was hard but Megan always tried to be there for them.” Staying on top of between 15,000 to 16,000 different items for sale is no mean feat either. “It is not easy,” Mike said.
“Things are changing constantly from season to season, companies completely change their products from month to month. “Sometimes a customer particularly likes a line but a company will discontinue it to bring out a new thing.” When a new item arrives, a dilemma ensues. “We have to decide if it will sell or not, then where to put it, or if we can get rid of a different item in its place,” Mike said. Of the stranger items of the shelf, Mike rates ‘nut meat’ as the weirdest he has come across, a canned protein substitute for vegetarians.
“After 30 years I still can’t work out how people can eat it,” he laughed. From the grim to the great, the bakery section is Mike’s favourite, particularly in the morning with its freshly baked aroma. “I’m a real sucker for a yeast bun or a freshly baked finger bun,” he said. A self-confessed chocoholic, Megan is a fan of the brown confectionary, particularly dark chocolate. Foodland Balaklava also has a strong local produce focus, a majority of fruit and vegetables grown in South Australian gardens and purchased from the markets at Pooraka.
“Foodland has encouraged us, if there is a supplier in our community, to use them,” Mike said. Products from the family owned Gawler South Bakery have recently been added at Foodland. “They’re a family business like us, so we like to help them out,” Megan said. “Last year we were forced to spend time away from the business when I was diagnosed with breast cancer,” Megan said. “The stress we were under was enormous but our great staff stepped up and let us have our time away, for which we are very grateful.”

Giving youth a first start A COMMUNITY-minded couple, Mike and Megan Smith apply that same approach with their business, Foodland Balaklava. Mike’s father Neville set the example as a major contributor at local sporting and church groups. Both Michael and Megan have spent their fair share of time on committees and coaching or umpiring sport but since brother, Andrew, and wife Peta, left the business, they haven’t had the time. Megan and Mike both admit time demands with the shop tend to get in the way of much in the way of community commitments these days. “As we find it difficult to contribute time, we see sponsorship as a way we can really help local community and sporting groups,” Megan said. Foodland Balaklava is a sponsor of a number of football, netball, hockey, basketball and golf clubs, while the business also supports the Balaklava Eisteddfod, Balaklava Show and other community events. “We just believe if there is any way we can help, we will,” Mike said. “The whole community supports us, so we should support them too.” Hundreds of local youths have started their working lives with part time employment at Foodland over the years. It is almost a nurturing program for school-aged students to make some money and more importantly,

About 25 junior staff are working at the supermarket at the moment. “We have budgeted our business to provide work as well as train people,” Mike explained. “It gives me a lot of joy to come in and be able to help them learn and teach them.
“It’s great to see them become more confident,” Megan added. “A lot of kids these days don’t have basic communication skills as they’re always text messaging, on facebook or snapchat, and many struggle to even look people in the eye and talk. “Communication skills are becoming a dying art, so supermarkets
are putting in ‘self serve’ checkouts. “This is something we never want to do, as providing good old fashioned country service is something we pride ourselves on. “We try to pass this skill onto the school kids who come and work for us. “Many kids work for two to four years at Foodland and we see it as
a vital experience for them as they move on to bigger and greater things. “We’ve had many come straight out of here and go on to be very successful, whether at a job or getting a degree at university,” Megan said. “You can go to a lot of businesses around this community and see kids who used to work here,” Mike added.

1968 – MOBILE VAN TO FRUIT AND VEG SHOP Their first shop in 1968.
1975 – MOVE TO FOUR SQUARE SHOP in 1975 Became a grocery shop not selling fruit and veg.
1990 – TOM’S TO SUPA-VALU
As the business moved up to the next level, the Tom’s banner was changed to Supa-Valu in 1990. This enabled greater buying power and enabled the store to become more competitive with its prices. Staff numbers also increased from five to 10.
1995 – SUPA-VALU TO FOODTOWN
In 1995, due to the business continuing to thrive, the store was further upgraded to a Foodtown Supermarket, with staff increasing to 12.
1998 – FOODTOWN TO FOODLAND
In 1998, the store reached the top of the supermarket chain, and became a Foodland supermarket. This allowed the store to become even more competitive, and as it was growing at a fast pace, an expansion was required.
1999 – FOODLAND EXPANSION 1999
After much planning and discussion with the bank, a decision was made to double the size of the shop and also provide a much larger carpark for its customers. The grand opening of the new Foodland Supermarket took place in December 1999. This year also saw the extension of Saturday trading hours, from 11.30am closing to 5pm.
2011 – DELI OPENING 2011
“In 2011, we expanded again into the adjacent building, providing a new service deli,” said Michael. The store was repainted and refurbished with new checkouts, and staff numbers grew to 55.

eville and Ruth Smith have always had a close association with their local community, both growing up in this area. When he left school, Neville worked in the Bank of Adelaide (ANZ), but when he was asked to transfer, he resigned and worked on Robin and Pam Neville’s farm on the outskirts of Balaklava. Ruth (nee Duck) worked on the family farm at Erith and in casual and seasonal work. Neville and Ruth married in 1960, and in 1963, bought a fruit and vegetable van. Each week, they picked up their supplies from Hoffmans at Nuriootpa, then set out delivering them over a few days, through Owen to Balaklava, and then to Halbury and Hoyleton. Neville and Ruth had two sons, Michael and Andrew, who often joined Neville on the fruit and veg run. On one occasion, Andrew went with Neville while he delivered produce through Owen. “Andrew hopped in the trailer, riding a short distance from house to house, but on this particular day, when Neville went around a corner, Andrew fell off, ” said Ruth. When Neville stopped, he could hear a loud noise coming from down
The couple with the community at heart had Louise Michael reports:
the road, and it was Andrew. “He’d had a shock but was fine, it was mainly his pride that was hurt,” she laughed. In 1968, Neville and Ruth’s bank manager suggested there was an ideal little shop for their business in the main street they might like to buy from John Bromley, rather than continue with the mobile van. They followed his suggestion and ran the fruit and veg shop successfully until 1975. “When we moved into the shop, Michael was attending kindy, which helped him become more outgoing as he was a shy boy,” said Ruth. Michael used to sit on the step of the shop and talk to everyone, and started to get a bit cheeky with some of the high school boys who went into the shop top buy milkshakes. “One day they picked him up and put him in the wire rubbish bin in front of the (then) Green & Gold Deli.” “He wasn’t a happy boy but I think he learnt something from the experience”she said. Neville and Ruth had been driving school buses for some time, and
Neville with son Michael, and the delivery van, and inset, Neville and Ruth at the Four Square shop. even while running the busy shop, continued to drive on the Nantawarra run, driving locals including David Wilson and Alan Baker to school. In 1975, the Four Square business, (which operated from where the gift section of the chemist now is) came up for sale. “The grocery business was going to close, and we felt the building and business needed to stay open, so we

bought the business,” said Ruth. As luck would have it, both Neville and Ruth were offered a bus run each at this time, but felt they were called to help the community so turned the bus runs down. The fruit and veg shop was sold, and back in those days, the contract ethics were to not sell in your new shop what you sold in your previous shop.
This meant Neville and Ruth just sold groceries, like the existing Eudunda Farmers shop in town did, not fruit and veg. While they were running the Four Square business, Michael finished school and started working for his parents, along with other staff Barb Ingram and Joan Verran. The business grew and it was time to expand, so Neville and Ruth

to Balaklava icon the town behind them bought a two storey building further down the street. “We knocked the building and a shed down and built a new “Toms” shop, which was opened in 1982,” said Ruth. This was a huge financial risk and enormous undertaking for the family, so much so, the bank wouldn’t lend them all the money required to complete the project. A generous local business man, who had faith this supermarket would be a success, lent them the money, and this loan was repaid back quickly. “The week we opened the shop was also Neville’s birthday, so he dated all the cheques he signed that week with his birth date, and year, which was not 1982,” she laughed. Within a short time of Toms opening, Eudunda Farmers started selling fruit and veg, so Toms followed suit. Within a short time, Andrew left school and also worked in the business, joining now-plumber, Peter Thompson, who was already employed at the shop. “Neville and Andrew (Moo) were the PR people, having fun with customers, and had a way of getting away with everything, while Michael and I were more serious,” laughed Ruth. “Neville often had the calculator

The business grew and Michael’s wife, Megan, andAndrew’s wife, Peta, joined their husbands and in-laws in running the business. Ruth gives thanks for honest customers after an embarrassing incident years ago.
“I was serving a customer on the checkout in Foodland, and helped pack the groceries and then helped the man take his groceries to his car in the car park.” “As I returned to the shop, I realised the goods hadn’t actually been paid for, but then I noticed the customer coming back into the shop with his money to pay,” she said. In 2008, Michael and Megan took
over the reins, allowing Ruth and Neville to retire, and Andrew and Peta to follow other career directions. For a couple of years, Neville continued relief bus driving and helping around in the shop, but now helps Ruth volunteer in the Balaklava Swap Shop. Both Neville and Ruth still have a strong involvement in their church. Neville and Ruth retired to Hay-
field Plains Village, and although Neville’s health isn’t the best, they are both regularly seen around the town, and still enjoy being involved in the community. “Running, and then expanding, the business was a great risk, but we were glad we could provide it for our community,” said Ruth. “We had a vision and did what we felt we were called to do.”

‘Pies finish top of table Final score mallala 14.12 (96) d virginia 9.7 (61)
MAGPIE Joel Montgomerie marks in the A grade clash at Mallala on Saturday, in front of Virginia opponents, Matthew Young and Rocky Perre.
Best: Mallala - D. King, J. Montgomerie, S. Angus, J. Clements, J. Birchmore Virginia - C. Howell, B. Russel, B. Robertson, B. Nikou, D. Oliver, A. Bascombe
• From back page “The game was just perfect for us in terms of finals pressure,” Lubcke said. “I was very happy having a game like that, rather than another blowout. “I thought the best thing was how our players handled the momentum swings.” Lubcke believed his defenders were particularly good under duress and his team’s ability to close out games full of running was a great trait heading into finals. “We’ve been concentrating on holding that intensity for the whole game,” he said. “I couldn’t be happier in terms of keeping our winning form going. “We’ve been able to work on injecting some flexibility into the side, so we go into the finals with no excuses.” DenEngelse was happy to have a competitive hit out but disappointed with the match. “It was good at least to have some finals-like atmosphere,” he said. “Our effort and work rate was down on the day, which was disappointing with some guys playing for their spots. “I would have thought with some spots on the line, guys would be keen to take their opportunity but some didn’t. “As the coach, it’s my job to keep the team focussed every week but that has been difficult when the players are thinking of the weeks ahead, despite needing to work on things we need to improve during matches.” DenEngelse was more than happy with midfielders, Ben Russell and Caleb Howell. “Russell was awesome,” he said. “He has shaken off that role as a tagger and risen to the next level, adding overhead marking to his game. “Caleb played a captain’s game and his marking one on one was pretty good to watch.” For Mallala, Dale King and Joel Montgomerie were key to the Magpies’ midfield dominance, while Sam Angus, Jake Birchmore and Jordan Clements are definitely in fine form heading towards the second semi final in two weeks time against Hamley Bridge.

While it was described by some as a ‘dead rubber’, Mallala again had the better of Virginia. This time by a margin of 35 points. Both finals aspirants were keen to make a statement. Brendon Niklaus opened the scoring for Virginia. The full forward looked set for a big day. With two in the first term, Niklaus was on song. Mallala replied through Brian Montgomery, two to Gus Bruggemann, nothing in it. Ben Galic went off for the blood rule, taking no further part in the game. A tight hard first quarter, as was to be expected. Mallala with players dominant; Dale King, Liam Whitwell, Joel Montgomerie and Sam Angus. There were only two points in it at quarter time. The Rams came out focused in the second quarter, applying plenty of early pressure. Virginia looked good. Peter Mylonopoulos for Virginia goaled. Gus Bruggemann bagged his third for the home side. Bradley Robertson for the Rams. Both sides traded goal for goal to half time. Virginia had improved their work rate. Matthew Young was back to his best, Billy Nikou, Corey Stronach and Anthony Johnston all good performers. Sam Angus had kept the dangerous Caleb Howell quiet in the first half. Mallala with the last three goals of the first half went to the main break with an eight-point lead. Joel Montgomerie, Brad Hardie and the
returning Ben Parish were all in top form for the ‘Pies. It was set up for an exciting second half. A rushed behind to Virginia, but that was about it for the third quarter for the Rams. Daniel Feeley ran into an open goal. Mallala were on the attack. A Gus Bruggemann goal off the ground. When Virginia did go forward they were thwarted by some desperate Mallala marking in the last line of defence. Mallala should have had the game stitched up by three quarter time. Virginia were kept goalless in the third term. Caleb Howell coming into the game as was Ben Russell and Peter Mylonopoulos. Virginia were the first to register a score in the final quarter. While Virginia were the first to score each quarter, it was Mallala that won every quarter. A Brendon Niklaus goal from outside 50, followed by a Ben Russell goal gave the Virginia followers some hope. It was soon snuffed out. Brian Montgomery goaled, a Jordan Clements run through the midfield to Scott Hahn, and Mallala had another. Scooter with one more and the ‘Pies were home. The Mallala machine had hit overdrive. After a quiet first half, Ram Caleb Howell came into his own. Another Virginia player under the radar is Ben Russell. Niklaus with a goal after the siren. Virginia have some thinking to do.

celebrated victory. Virginia kicked the first four goals of the game, and the home side had their work cut out early on in the piece. Virginia had loose players everywhere. Mallala looked to be fumbling but two goals in two minutes and they had breathed life back into the game. Zac Hallion had a stellar opening term. Steven Peter kicked the first in the second quarter and Virginia was answering the challenge. Ryan Russell in ruck for Mallala was a clear winner. The Rams were well on top. Con Mylonopoulos, Mark Matheson, Matthew Musolino and the irrepressible Steve Papanotis all shone. Virginia displayed clever use of the body, in particular Daniel Mitchell and Steve Papanotis. The Rams had an impressive in goals one behind to half time. The game tightened up in the third quarter with only one goal kicked, by Mallala’s Brayden Tucker. The ‘Pies were just hanging in there. Daniel Mitchell then Con Mylonopoulos booted two for the Rams early in the last quarter, ensuring a Virginia victory. The Mylonopoulos goal just got there but it put the Rams 30 points up; Virginia clear winners. Mallala were scoreless in the last term. Aside from good efforts by Jack Dixon, Leigh Gray, Stephen Malycha and Ben Edwards, Mallala had little to laugh about. The exception being Virginia’s George Stiliasano, on the mark, lifting his jumper, baring his stomach to try to put Sam Irish off having a shot at goal, talk about a battle of the bulge! Virginia are the team to beat.

A LETHALLY accurate Two Wells annihilated a substandard Balaklava to end the Peckers’ 2013 season on an 85-point low note at Two Wells on Saturday. Forward, Tallan Leighton, booted nine goals for the Roosters in a dominant display. While the opening term was relatively close, Two Wells kicked 10 goals to two in the second to blow the game apart. “We actually started reasonably well but after quarter time, Two Wells certainly looked like they wanted to win more,” Balaklava coach, Stuart Lamond said. “We were second to the ball and credit to them, they kicked accurately and their delivery to forward was also right up there. “At half time, it was really all about asking for some effort that wasn’t there, particularly in the second quarter. “That second term was probably our worst quarter of football for quite some time. “We did have a fairly inexperienced side but that’s no excuse for how poor we were in that quarter.” Two Wells coach, Mark Thomson, said his team needed to absorb the initial pressure from Balaklava “We knew Balaklava were going to come out with some fight at the start, so we just had to hang in there,” he said. “We were pretty happy with the end result.” While slammed on another five goals to none in the third quarter, the Peckers did stem the momentum slightly. Ryan McDonald’s goal from the boundary on his left foot, after a bit of dancing and weaving, highlighted the Roosters’ authority. “I thought the lads responded reasonably well after half time,” Lamond said. “The scoreline doesn’t necessarily reflect that but it was an improvement from that disastrous second quarter. “We wanted to win the last quarter, as in matches like that, you try to take those small victories.” Simon Feast and Ben Slattery rucked well in tandem throughout, Feast looking particularly dangerous, finishing with two goals. “I thought it was his best game for the year and he looked pretty agile, while Ben Slattery was also good in the ruck,” Thomson said. Leighton’s big haul came as little surprise to Thomson. “I think he’s probably our most dam-
REPORT: Les Pearson aging forward, as if he gets 10 kicks, he will probably kick seven goals three,” he said. Ryan Hooper was also creative at half back, overcoming a bout of osteitis pubis in recent weeks. “Touch wood he doesn’t get injured for the rest of the year as we’ve nursed him through the last six weeks,” Thomson said. “I thought our clean hands at stoppages were good and we got our link up handball going, with blokes working hard from behind and being rewarded.” For the Peckers, Todd McPharlin finished with two goals and was one who battled tirelessly. “Todd’s late season form caps off a good year from him, arguably his best season of senior footy for the club,” Lamond said. Luke Guy was one of the few defenders who held up under sustained pressure. “Luke has certainly taken on that defensive role and made it his own in recent weeks,” Lamond added, as the season came to a grinding halt. “There’s definitely something to build on for next season and years to come,” he said. “We didn’t recruit heavily this year and covering for the loss of (Glenn) Dawson and (Jonathon) Brice from our forward line was always going to be tough. “That said, we were able to beat two finals sides, including the premiership favourites, while also giving some young locals some senior experience. “It wasn’t the season I was hoping for and probably the club as well but I do believe there is plenty of improvement within the group in years to come.”

Tigers avoid the wooden spoon UNITED at last got some reward for effort on Saturday, defeating Hummocks-Watchman Eagles by 13 points in a spirited contest at Long Plains. The win for United ensured the injury-ravaged Eagles would cop the wooden spoon for the second consecutive year. United coach, David White, said his team had some catching up to do after HWE had led at every change. “It was a really weird game and we didn’t play particularly well to be honest,” he said. “They jumped us a bit at the start and it took us until three quarter time before we really got going. “Before half time, it was a game of turnovers with the surface being a bit soft, so players were slipping over a lot, which led to a lot of those turnovers.” HWE had started reasonably well, despite being considerably undermanned. The Eagles were working hard at maintaining possession and it was paying dividends. “We were moving the ball really well, the best we have for a while, actually,” HWE coach, David Cluse said. “We had struggled at half forward all year, so we looked to work the ball from half back, to half forward and get more deep entries into the forward line.” White said they had to target HWE’s key playmakers. “We let them loose early, particularly Justin Cicolella and Andrew Turrell, who are good users of the footy,” he said. “We paid them more attention as the game went on and while we didn’t cut them out completely, they had less influence.” Adrian Mills and the retiring Adam Mansfield were the Tigers’ best performers on the day. “We kept his (Mills’) stats and he had 26 touches and along with Zachary Wellington, he was responsible for Cicolella to reduce his effectiveness,” White said. “It was his best four quarter
REPORT: Les Pearson game for the year. “(Adam) played off wing and half back and was really good. “It was hard to split those two at the top. “Apparently he is retiring, so if he does go through with that it was great he could go out on a high note.” Koby Ettridge’s four second half goals were pivotal in turning the match after being well held early. Mark Pym’s unusual shift forward also yielded a rare goal in the second half. “He was happy and the crowd was pretty happy too,” White said. Cluse said it was disappointing to lose after leading all day. “They jumped us a bit at the start of the last quarter and we kicked points, which could have been goals,” he said, which was a bit symptomatic of the Eagles’ season. “Yeah, pretty much, and we were underdone with our

numbers.” Sam Baker’s job at full back on Ettridge was outstanding. “He was very good, probably the best game I’ve seen him play,” Cluse said. “We probably haven’t seen his best this year, to be honest.” Adam Turrell finished the season well with another good performance in the ruck, while brother Andrew also racked up touches early. “We did try to shift him to half back a bit in the last few weeks, as by his own admission, he is missing some aerobic fitness with no preseason under his belt,” Cluse said. Justin Cicolella was another in the best with a swag of others that could have got their names in the top six. “The kids were much better and it was a pretty even performance, with 15 players possibly rotating through the best players,” Cluse said.
White was relieved to get the win. “From my point of view, it was certainly relieving and it was good to see players come off the ground smiling and having a good time,” he said. “It is nice to finish on a good note. “I thanked the players for their efforts, as it had been a tough year for them as well, so they should come off with their heads held high for being able to continue that effort. “I’m looking forward to next year and at this stage, most players are returning while we’ve got a couple to talk to as well. “As a coach, the first two things I like to see are 100 per cent effort and always have a positive attitude and I think we’ve predominantly been able to do that. It was a great way to see off the season, with James Rundle celebrating 200 games, while Andrew Sharman notched up 150. White said he was confident of retaining the coaching job for next year, while forward, Koby Ettridge has also signed on for 2014 with the Tigers. In the opposing camp, Cluse indicated he was keen to stay on as coach. “We have had the opportunity to give some young lads some different roles they may not have had and we’ve had the chance to clearly where we’re deficient and also our strengths as well,” he said. “We also have an idea of the competition now and you wouldn’t expect those top sides to change a lot. “It’s about an application of a game style for extended periods of time really. “I knew where we were coming from, so in that respect it has been a good learning experience. “I’m happy to go around again, as you’re rarely going to make a huge leap forward in one year.”

Roosters will need to win midfield battle in first semi Two Wells v Virginia BITTER rivals Two Wells and Virginia go head to head in an elimination first semi final this week at Hamley Bridge. The Roosters have the ledger their way at two wins to Virginia’s one this season, although all three games have been all but forgone conclusions. The form of Rams forward, Brendon Niklaus, has notably tapered in the latter half of the year, although Virginia has still been able to score heavily regardless. “That’s just how it unfolded, it wasn’t about us going to him less and he has had some good matchups of late, with those guys going a good job on him,” Rams coach, Joss DenEngelse said. “At his best, he can kick 10 goals against any side in the competition.” A possible selection headache for Two Wells is the matchup for Niklaus, after Andrew Hardiman was ruled out for the season following surgery on an injured hand. Brad Fitzgerald is also in doubt with a thumb problem, which may require surgery. Both have played on Niklaus in the past, although Thomson is blessed with several options, including Sam O’Brien, Anthony Pontt and Tim Hines.
The Roosters will need to think about their choice of matchup for Ram forward, Brendon Niklaus, for this Saturday’s first semi final. “We’ll need to discuss how Tim plays but if we win the midfield battle, it definitely restricts that supply to Niklaus,” Thomson said. “We can’t do anything about the injuries but it does give someone else a chance to come up.” Fifteen-year-old Harry Gameau is a possible inclusion, if available, with Thomson’s focus on getting the Roosters off to a quick start. “If we can start well in a final, it will give us that mental edge of confidence to go on and win the match,” he said. Tallan Leighton’s nine goals were a great sign ahead of an elimination final.
“We’ll use him within the 50 metre area, he won’t be going too far from there and we’ll try to put him under Feast or Slat-
tery,” Thomson said. DenEngelse indicated he had plenty of respect for the Roosters. “At the start of the year, I felt they were
the team to beat, so we’re ready for the contest,” he said. Ben Galic copped a cut lip against Mallala, which required nine stitches, although DenEngelse believed he was still every chance to play this weekend, against the team that defeated the Rams in last year’s decider. “I believe the best revenge would be premiership success but to beat them only to bow out in the weeks after, there’s probably not much revenge in that,” he said. “It’s got to be our relentless pressure and attack on the ball carrier. “If we can get our processes right, I believe we should get the result.”
TALLAN Leighton bagged nine goals for the Roosters against Balaklava on the weekend.

Blyth/Snowtown run out 18-goal winners A1: RSMU 38 v Blyth/Snowtown 56 A good first quarter with B/S jumping out of the blocks taking a five-goal advantage into the first break. B/S was outstanding in the second with beautiful shooting by Lauren and Maggie and pressed their lead out to 14. Jess and Nicole had to work very hard for every possession but stood up to some very close checking by Annie and Ashlyn and had an even quarter. In the last B/S were just too good and ran out winners by 18. A2: RSMU 41 v Blyth/Snowtown 37 A hotly contested game between two teams eager to record a win for the last game of the season. Blyth Snowtown started the better with strong defensive pressure causing RSMU to make mistakes. The Cats shot well to make the most of the turnovers. RSMU making changes throughout searching for the right combination settled into the second half. Blyth/Snowtown also made some changes forced by injury and in the end RSMU came away with a much deserved win. B1: RSMU 34 v Blyth/Snowtown 47 A very hard fought game by both sides, with each and every player working tirelessly all game. Blyth/Snowtown’s pressure across the whole court created many turnovers, giving them an 11-goal lead at half time. RSMU won the third quarter
with RSMU’s Simone Miller moving and shooting well. B/S pulled away in the last for a good win. B2: RSMU33 v Blyth/Snowtown 43 Great game by Kelsey Hitch and Nicola Andriske in goals for Blyth/Snowtown. She was well supported by the Cat’s defence line. Sophie Griffiths and Jo Manning for RSMU tried hard all match. See you next season. C1: RSMU 32 v Blyth/Snowtown 45 A very strong first half by both teams, with both teams mid-courters, RSMU’s Molly McKenzie and Cat’s Mikayla Kennett having a good contest all game. The second half, Cats stepped up the intensity with great team play down the court, but RSMU never gave up! All the best in the finals, Blyth/Snowtown! C2: RSMU 30 v Blyth/Snowtown 42 This was a big game, with both teams fighting for fourth place to make the finals. The Hawks had a great start with goalies Stevie-Lee Dutton and Simone Overton shooting beautifully. The Cat’s GS Valerie Ciardello found her eye for the goal ring in the second quarter and the Hawks were five goals down at half time. Despite the great work done by RSMU GD Cassandra Lockyer we were unfortunately unable to close the gap and the Cats ran away with a 12-goal win. Congratulations to the girls on a great game and good luck
to Blyth/Snowtown in the finals. 15&U: RSMU 33 v Blyth/Snowtown 42 Today’s game was a big fight till the finish with both teams giving it all till the end. With RSMU’s defenders giving Byth/Snowtowns goalies a challenge. Was the best game to finish off the season. J1: RSMU 28 v Blyth/Snowtown 28 What a great game to finish the minor round (it almost felt like a final). The Hawks led at every change but to the cats credit they outscored the Hawks in the last quarter to finish with a draw. Great pressure from both teams all over the court. J2: RSMU 24 v Blyth/Snowtown 20 A strong first quarter by the Hawks stunned the Cats with confident shooting by the Hawks shooters, Molly Goodfellow and Jessica Sidwell. Cats Ruby Jacka played a very steady game in WA and fed well into their goalies. The last half, the Cats stepped up the intensity, but the Hawks kept their cool under pressure and came out winners by four! Credit to the Cats team, they never gave up! J4: A great shooting game by Chloe Oakley with good support by Sophie Bocock and Tegan Przibilla. Ella Roberts for Blyth Snowtown played a good game when she was moved to GA. Good defence by RSMU. Well done to all girls for their last game of the season.

While one was away, the following came out to play, in a Stableford round for the Balaklava Shearing Shed Trophy, which was won in a hairless frenzy by one “Billiam” Parkin, so there. Young Bill went on to claim top dog status in the A Grade with his 36 points, just heading off Mark Loy (35) and leaving Peter Thompson (33) in his dandruff, along with W. Lokan (32), W. Taylor (?) (29) and M. “what th’!” Hameister (25). Geoff Leo (32) hammered the B grade field into submission, wounding Wayne Nagle (30) and battering Bill Goudie (29) into submission. David Rodgers put in a painful, yet very stoic DNF (Decidedly Nackered Foot). Digby Addison (35) crushed the C graders, grinding Greg Sonntag (33) into the humiliation of 2nd spot and trouncing Tania Matz (27), who dumped Dean Trickett on a count back. John Michael made up the remaining number by smiting a heroic 26. Jeez - what a quiet weegend but! Anyhoo, we can further gush with breathless enthusiasm that Birdies were achieved by Geoff Leo at the 10th and Peter Thompson at the 8th. Wow!, and it just gets even headier - try Nearest The Pins, to wit: Geoff Leo (3rd), Bill Goudie (8th), and Geoff Leo again at the, U-gestit, 10th. As a result of this absolute mayhem, someone found the wherewithal to appoint 6 Golfer of the Winter Points to Bill Parkin, 5 to Digby Addison, 4 to Mark Loy, 3 to Greg Sonntag, 2 to Peter Thompson and then it gets really interesting folks, “one to alla rest, hen!, ye ken?”. So, coming back to earth with a resounding crash, let’s just calm down and acknowledge that our six “most splendid” sported on our behalf at the dreaded Nuriootpa Mid-North Open last Sunday,
with Geoff Leo winning the C grade “off the stick” gong, Digby Addison winning the C grade Stableford bunch of bananas, Callum Michael creaming the “Juniors” division (he was the sole Junior by the way, but played his heart out for good old Balak folks and a Mars Bar) and not to be outdone by these prancing show ponies, Scott Michael, by dint of sheer determination, grit and guts, held on to win the raffle - you just had to be there, people… This Sat. we re-group for yet another full-on flailing fist-fight for a sensationally sponsor-free Par round, with Austin Henstridge officiating as starter and Geoff Spence (or someone else) drying eyes and wetting glasses at the 19th – how Do we handle the pace?!

Thursday’s Stableford event attracted 26 players and one wonders what is the problem with Saturday golfing numbers, with only 21 players competing even with the day being the quarter finals of the Club Championships?! With other things on such as football and other sports etc. on Saturday afternoons, would opening the tees from 8.30am – 9am and 11.45am-12.30pm increase overall numbers? The winner of Thursday’s competition was club captain, Bob Charman, with 41 points from Anton Noack (2nd), John Bell (3rd) 38, Geoff Ralph 37, John Mitchell, Noel Stringer 36, all being prize winners. Others to finish in the better half were John Riley and Ian Rohde 34, Max Grasby, Rex Mortimer and Ed Manning 32, Kieth Kluske,Barry Schwartz, Wim Van Pelt andFred Hewett 31.

Finals time…bring it on! From here it gets exciting. Finals are always a different kettle of fish. Anything can happen…anything is possible. A1 APNA review with Virginia needs good wins this Saturday Merridy Manuel to keep two of its three finals hopes alive. Long Plains’ only has teams playing in the first semi, so they must win to stay alive. Likewise, Mallala has seven teams in the finals, but six of them play in the first semi. Two Wells is looking confident going into finals in top or second position for five grades, as is Balaklava with six out of eight teams in the second semi. Both Hamley and Hummocks have three junior teams in the finals, A1s and one other senior team. The A1 competition is repeated in the U15s with Hummocks taking on Hamley in the second semi.

that Hummocks needed to boost morale and confidence. The improvement in the Long Plains side must be recognised however. The girls have strengthened this season under the watchful eye of Michelle Doherty. Hummocks playing coach, Samantha Nicholls, was extremely pleased with the girls’four-quarter effort. “We haven’t had that (four-quarter effort) the last few weeks,” explained Sam. “Longies did continue to try all game but our movement of the ball was just too good. “We tried some new things on Saturday and it was great to sit back at GS and see them come off.” Look out Hamley!

As it turned out, they were actually playing Mallala but lost by 12. Hamley demolished Long Plains, doubling their score.

Balaklava 48 def Two Wells 31 A rusty start from Balaklava saw Two Wells grab a two-goal lead.

They continued in this manner until the fourth quarter but were too far ahead, taking a comfortable 17-goal win. Balaklava coach, Carolyn Michael said it was a good finish to the minor round. “Our defensive pressure was solid all game, as was the circle defence from Two Wells’ GK (Karen Penhall) and GD (Rhiannon Wendland).” Karen Penhall won

Polished Hummocks side takes honours long plains v hummocks
A1: Hummocks started well from the first centre pass. Good defence for Long Plains with multiple turnovers. Quick feeding into the Hummocks goal ring and good fighting from both sides but Hummocks just proved too strong in the first. Standout players were Tegan Nottle GA (Hummocks) and Tori Doherty WD (LP). LP 6 – Hum 19. Another great start for Hummocks with the attackers feeding well into the goal ring and both shooters capitalising well. Samantha Nicholls passing into Teagan Nottle was outstanding. Long Plains remained competitive put up a good game, with Leah Tynan fighting her way through the centre court. Hummocks proved too strong again, with the early turnovers resulting in goals every time. LP 17 – Hum 33. Again, the passing was amazing in the goal circle, between Teagan Nottle and Samantha Nicholls, with player awareness and accurate passing paying off on the court. Hummocks sisters, Sarah Young and Emily Wandel playing in the centre court together, proved a strong force. Hummocks continued their strong lead. LP 29 – Hum 48. Long Plains remained competitive in the fourth quarter, but again the well polished Hummocks side was too strong for its competitors. A very strong run home for the Eagles, with precise passing through the centre and consistent shooting. Final score: LP 33 – Hum 69. A2: Both teams started out strong with Hummocks taking the lead with their GS not missing a goal. Long Plains centre court struggled to get the ball down their shooting end.

Centre for Hummocks, Emma Ward and wing attack Debra Davey feeding the ball well into their shooting circle. Long Plains Amy Daniels, continued to put up a valiant fight not missing a chance to score for her team. But Hummocks continued to be just too strong for their opponents, continuing to increase their lead by the end of the second quarter. Emily Zanker was stellar at GA for Hummocks and GD Taryn Hall performed well for Long Plains. LP 17 – Hum 32. Long Plains started with the centre pass in the third, but Hummocks defence quickly turned it over to send it down their shooting end for a positive score. Ashyka Curnow, goal attack for Long Plains, played extremely well for her team, considering the strength of the Hummocks side, getting a few good turnovers for her team. Also Long Plains WA, Sarah McArdle put up a good fight against her opponent. Hummocks GA and GS were shooting perfectly maintaining their very strong lead. LP 24 – Hum 4. Long Plains tried hard to get a few back on the Hummocks side, with Taryn Hall continuing strong in defence and Kateena Humphreys GK getting a few turnovers. The Hummocks side was very polished and continued to strengthen their lead to end the game 62 to LP 36. LP 36 – Hum 62. A3: A well contested start by both teams, playing well and looking strong down the court. Hummocks took the first quarter but only by 3 goals, looking very evenly matched with their opponents. Hummocks shooting just perhaps just a fraction more accurately in the first than Long Plains. Standout
TORI Doherty receives the ball for Long Plains in the mid court during the A1 game. Players: GS – Sascha Tiller (Hum) and GS – Kirstyn Rundle (LP). LP 7 – Hum 10. Hummocks started the second quarter strongly, to break away with a good lead in the first few minutes. Whilst Long Plains were slow off the blocks, they managed to find some great form, playing well as team from the defending end right through to the goal circle. Some strong defensive play brought the Long plains team right back into the game and shooters, Kirstyn Rundle and Ruth East capitalised well. Hummocks did still manage to stretch out their lead by two more goals, leading by 5 at the half time break. LP 18 – Hum 23. Once again Hummocks started strong with Sascha Tiller shooting extremely well. Long Plains shooting team, Kirstyn Rundle and Ruth East worked the ball around the circle well, using their attacking feeders well to gain the optimum shooting position. Hummocks maintained the lead and by the end of the third were ahead by 7. Sascha Tiller scored an unbelievable 16 goals for the quarter! LP 31 – Hum 38. With the way the match was evenly contested by both teams it still could have been anyone’s game, however, the Hummocks girls dug in, and found some extra strength, blasting ahead in the last quarter to win the game by 17!! A great spectator’s game, of well contested and competitive yet friendly netball. Well done to all on court. Standouts for the match: Sascha Tiller (Hum) and Kirstyn Rundle (LP). Final score: LP 40 – Hum 57. A4: A great opening quarter with even skill levels. Long Plains WA, Amber Olsen put in a great effort for her team and working on getting the ball into the goal circle. Hummocks experienced a few injuries, but still managed to keep their momentum. LP 4 – Hum 9. Great defence work by Long Plains with GD Kimberley Ellis putting in an amazing effort and working well with GK Pearl Chapman. Helzah Somerville (C) for Long Plains was very competitive with her opponent who also was playing well (Taylor Williams). Kimberly Ellis (LP) and Talyor Williams (Hum) worked well for their respective sides. LP 16 – Hum 16. Changes to Long Plains due to injuries put a spin on the

game with Hummocks capitalising on this and getting in front. Hannah Hoepner (GS) for Hummocks was outstanding in goals, fed in well by a continued great effort from Taylor Williams (Hummocks centre). LP 21 – Hum 38. The fourth quarter proved exciting when the game was stopped for a kid stuck in a tree. All was ok on that front and the game resumed. Fantastic mid court play by both teams finished the game off nicely, to see Hummocks come away with the win. A fair game played by all and a nice way to end the season’s minor rounds. Final score: LP 30 – Hum 51. A5: Hummocks took the lead early in the 1st quarter. Long Plains continued to put up a strong contest however to only be down by three goals at quarter time. Standout players 1st quarter – Sarah Rapko (GA) and Taylor Williams (C) Hummocks. LP 7 – Hum 10. The second quarter saw a fairly even contest by both teams Longies having to put up a good defence, as Hummocks gained most of the attacking play. Hummocks extended their lead in the second with strong and consistent shooting. Standout players for the second quarter included Danya Heaft (Hum GS) and Renae Baker (LP C). LP 13 – Hum 26. Another great quarter by both teams. Hummocks still in
the lead, however Long Plains did get quite a lot of turnovers this quarter, unfortunately failing to capitalise on them in the goal circle. LP 16 – Hum 38. Long Plains continued to keep their heads high and put up a great fight in the last quarter which the score is not reflective of. Hummocks were the stronger team on the day, but well done to both teams of a good fair game. Final score: LP 19 – Hum 55. 17&U: With both teams secured in the top four, it was a battle of who was the better team today. With that it was goal for goal in the first quarter, with some great defending by Long Plains’ Stephanie McArdle and Balaklava Away’s Emma Mahony. Balak just took the first quarter, leading by one at the break. LP 8 – Bal 9. Cecily Gameau (LP) played a tight second quarter on her opponent, Kameeka Scott. However, overall the Long Plains side were let down by their leading and passing. Balaklava Away took advantage and did a great job in finishing the job with accurate shooting. LP 9 – Bal Away 19. Longies made some changes, moving Stephanie McArdle from defence to goals and attacked the ball beautifully with excellent leading. GK Emma Mahony (Bal Away) also defended and rebounded well. Team mate Lexie Tiller (Bal Away) led well as did Kirra Kruger (LP). LP 15 – Bal Away 39. The difference at the end of the match was Balak Away’s consistency and accuracy. The Long Plains girls seemed to let this get the better of them today and allowed themselves to drop their heads, which they were not able to recover from and is something they will need to work on before next week’s match. Good Luck to both teams in their finals campaign. Final score: LP 17 – Bal Away 39. 15 &U: Hummocks won the toss and were first to score. Hummocks started strong, then Longies found their feet and started fighting back, making for a close first quarter. Standout players included GA Mikaela LaneWatson (Hum) and C Catelyn Harkness (LP). LP 5 – Hum 7. Hummocks shot well in the second, whilst Long Plains centre court worked well together and showed determination. There were some very good, competitive tussles between the 2 team centres, showing strong play and confidence. LP goal attack Keisha Gregory and GS Kaitlyn Lloyd worked hard to work the ball around for a good shot, but lacked some confidence in this quarter. Hum C, Tayla Williams and LP C, Georgia McArdle performed well throughout the quarter. LP 9 – Hum 14. Hummocks started strong
BALAKLAVA’S Kayla Arbon leaps to defend as Two Wells centre, Shannen Weir passes in the A3 game at Two Wells. again, leaving Long Plains to one goal scored only six minutes into the quarter.

In particular LP wing Attack, Taylor Franklin gave it her all. LP 12 – Hum 25. Positional changes for Long Plains, Keisha Gregory went into C, Georgia McArdle to GA. Good defence by LP GD, Catelyn Harkness, but it was to no avail. LP Mary Hosking in WA proved valuable in the centre court. Final score: LP 16 – Hum 34. It’s always a tough well fought game between these two teams, but Hummocks were once again better on the day. Good Luck to both teams in the finals run. 13&U (A): Long Plains started off with the centre pass and began strongly, getting the first couple of goals. Hummocks GA Haylee Studman worked the court well, finding the open spaces for strong leads. Long Plains’ GA and GS worked well in the ring together to keep the score tight.

Both teams played well throughout the second quarter, with Long Plains turning the ball over a few times to be one up by the end of the second quarter, which was a great effort by all. LP Matika Hilliard-Faulkner watched
the play well, intercepting the ball and turning it over for her team. Hummocks, Jessica Davey, played an excellent second quarter, playing well both in the centre and goal ring. Standouts: for third quarter included Jessica Davey (Hum) and Matika Hilliard-Faulkner (LP). LP 17 – Hum 16.

Hummocks kept the game down their end to win by 10. Final score: LP 28 – Hum 38. Well done to all girls on the day, for a hard fought match. 13&U (B): Some very good interceptions from Hummocks players, Karli Andrew and Amber Young. Every ball was hotly contested from two evenly matched teams. Good shooting from both teams, GA Tamika Gregory (LP) and GS Kelsie Rowland (Hum). LP 4 – Hum 3. Two quick goals at the beginning of the second quarter saw Hummocks looking comfortable. LP worked hard to try to keep the score close. LP C, Zali Walsh had some great interceptions. Hummocks players had very accurate
passing which made it look easy. Tamika Gregory played well for Long Plains, scoring six goals for the quarter. LP 10 – Hum 8. Interceptions saw the ball change direction over and over again. It got a bit confusing down one end when Brittany Lane (LP) was playing against her Hummocks opponent, Brittany Berry. Both teams tried very hard with their thoughts firmly on the finals run. LP 12 – Hum 10. There were many hard fought balls in the final term. Lots of shouting and encouragement from the sidelines as this game really started to sound like a finals match. Hummocks players picked up and the final score was a draw! In the last quarter, Long Plains shot four goals and Hummocks bagged six. Standouts for the fourth quarter included GS Jessie Lee (Hum) – great shooting. Final score: LP 16 – Hum 16. Both teams have shown how tight this competition really is for this grade. The finals are going to be really exciting! 10&U: All played a great first quarter, with both teams constantly going for the ball with enthusiasm and strength. Hummocks’ GS was on her goals and played very well for her team. All girls showed how their skills had developed throughout the season, and seemed to enjoy themselves throughout the entire game. Everyone fought hard for possession of the ball, but in the end Hummocks dominated in the goals.

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.
