4HE MOST WANTED GIFT THIS #HRISTMAS

By BRAD PERRY

THE RIVERLAND will screen its very own blockbuster this weekend and Almost There, the brainchild of Loxton film director John De Caux, is sure to play on the heart strings of its audience. Almost There, which was filmed almost entirely in Loxton, is set to be a hit with locals when it premieres at the Chaffey Theatre on Saturday. For John, being able to showcase the movie in the Riverland is a reward for the tireless hours of effort he and

his crew have put in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am looking forward to seeing it on the big screen because that is what every film maker wants to see,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope they (the audience) enjoy the fact that there is heart to the film and the fact that I am making my first independent film.â&#x20AC;? Working as a cameraman for WIN News by day, John spent much time editing and filming Almost There, which has been three years in the making. He admitted it had been hard to

find inspiration at times after a hard day at work, especially considering 75 hours of footage was shot for the 92 minute film. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes it was a struggle to come home and motivate myself to do it after working eight hours at work doing editing and filming and then coming home to editing again,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every time we filmed it was probably about an hourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth of footage and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be lucky to get two minutes at the most.â&#x20AC;? â&#x2013; Continued Page 8

candidate is pushing a plan that will see jobs and dollars retained in the Riverland. That story sounds quite familiar doesnโ t it? A part of recent history. No, Iโ m not referring to Karlene Maywaldโ s campaign to bring Teletrak to the region, which ultimately led to her unseating a long standing Chaffey incumbent. I am in fact referring to Tim Whetstone and his campaign to find another business to take over the National Foods factory. One prominent local businessman has described Mr Whetstoneโ s claims that businesses are interested in the site as โ political point scoringโ . Despite Mr Whetstoneโ s good intentions, the businessman would not be alone in those thoughts either and that cynical perception may persist until the public sees some progress on this front. Mr Whetstoneโ s campaign is going to feature heavily in the election lead-up. The outcome, or progress, of Mr Whetstoneโ s mission is bound to play a major role in the decision making of local voters as they head into the polling

Watering more user friendly

Office inundated with concerned callers ADELAIDE residents expressed their opinions about the domestic water restrictions boisterously to Karlene Maywald’s Chaffey electorate, bombarding staff with telephone calls prior to Monday’s announcement. Chaffey electorate office manager Robyn Cain used the flood of calls as a chance to let Adelaide residents know of the current Riverland water situation. “Basically they were suggest-

By BRAD PERRY GARDENERS and plant enthusiasts across the region have welcomed Monday’s decision to ease current level three water restrictions and flexibility in watering times, despite being in the grips of a drought. Households can now water their gardens under strict regulations for a maximum of five hours a week on any day of the week. The hours of watering, 6am to 9am and 6pm and 9pm, still remain, while the ban on sprinklers and other watering systems also remains. The new conditions replace the previous watering times, which limited the public to watering one day a week within the odds and evens house number system. Highway Fern Haven owner/manager Tahlee Neilson said people have adapted to the lack of water available to gardens. “I think a lot of the smarter gardeners handled it quite well,” she said. Mrs Neilson said the flexibility in water restrictions will inject some confidence into the local gardening sector. “There are some really keen gardeners who have let things go,” she said. “I think that (the change in water restrictions) is a good thing coming into summer because with the weather we have been

Allocations up, water prices to head down

By LES PEARSON WITH lower water prices than this time last year and a much higher water allocation, AgriExhange senior agronomist Trevor Sluggett said there are many positives about the 48 per cent irrigation allocation announced on Monday. The increase this time was only two per cent, but it follows a good rise in allocation searlier this month. “The higher water allocation this year certainly is an improvement on previous years but we needed it,” Mr Sluggett said. “There’s still a long way to go because you can’t crop most plantings on a 48 per cent allocation.” He said water prices are between $180 and $190 a megalitre and are likely to drop further following the announcement of a second Murrumbidgee water ballot by the New South Wales Government on Monday. The ﬁrst ballot, announced in September this year, resulted in 64,000 megalitres of water being traded to the Murray Valley. The latest ballot will allow another 42,000 megalitres to be traded out of the Murrumbidgee, putting more water on the market, which Mr Sluggett said is good for our irrigators. He added that growers should consider accessing a portion of their requirements while this water is available, with further lifts in water allocations improbable this late in the season.

ing that in the warmer weather they could have more water for gardens,” she said. “We attempt to let them see the perspective from the Riverland. “We have got irrigators up here who would like more water as well.” Mrs Cain said the electorate ofﬁce takes on board all comments. “The warmer weather has prompted people to think more about water,” she said.

“It is rather unlikely that we will see any significant improvements to water allocations for the rest of the season,” he said. River Murray Minister Karlene Maywald agreed, explaining that given the wetter months are now behind us and with no great inflows expected over summer, the figure is likely to remain steady. “I would not expect to see any substantial improvements over the coming months,” she said. The final water allocation figure will be settled at the end of December. However, 48 per cent is still well and truly above the allocation level of 15 per cent at this time last year.

It certainly is an improvement on previous years but we needed it.

Minister Maywald said the ﬁgure comes from assessments performed by the Murray Darling Authority, claiming good winter rains to be the major driver in allocation increases, well and truly exceeding those of the 2008/2009 season. “The main reason allocations rose is we had more rain, more frequently, meaning more run-off into the system,” she said. While grower expenditure

He explained if a grower has a water licence of 10 megalitres per hectare, the 48 per cent water allocation will provide 4.8 megalitres. Most wine grape growers require approximately 6.5 megalitres a hectare, therefore they have to lease in the remaining 1.7 megalitres of water per hectare, which equates to about $325 per hectare of vineyard. Over a whole block, the cost becomes very significant. The road ahead for growers remains tough, with ongoing produce price issues. “The water situation has improved but the overall outlook for growers generally has not unfortunately,” Mr Sluggett said.

A PROPOSED $10 million expansion and redevelopment of the Riverland Central Plaza in Berri has been delayed due to the site being unable to secure tenants and therefore gain approval to move forward. While the development has not been written off completely, property manager Renae Taylor said it has been a struggle to find interested companies to support the plans. Initially, Target was to be the major tenant for the development but Ms Taylor said the retail giant was no longer involved in extension plans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Target is out of the picture,â&#x20AC;? she said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is very much a balancing act. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have got to find tenants to pay enough rent.â&#x20AC;? Ms Taylor said a big national retailer would need to show interest in being included in the development and from there extension options and financing of the project would be considered. The Berri Barmera Council supported a permit issued for development when plans were first announced last year. Ms Taylor believes once business returns to a more even keel following the global financial crisis, a tenant is likely to step forward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There still is an interest,â&#x20AC;? she said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the global financial crisis, a lot of companies are not willing to put their hand in the pocket to develop new stores. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would love it to go ahead.â&#x20AC;? With hope of the plaza extending as planned, Ms Taylor said it would significantly benefit the region by attracting more people to the plaza and helping the current retailers at the site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone benefits if we get tenants for those sites,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be wonderful for the other tenants.â&#x20AC;? It has been nearly eight years since improvements were made to the plaza and the ini-

tial announcement of the $10 million project in July last year sparked a wave of enthusiasm across plaza traders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For sure, I think it will be great,â&#x20AC;? Riverland Central Plaza Newsagency owner Drew Nelsson told the Riverland Weekly (July, 2008). â&#x20AC;&#x153;We should get a bit of traffic back that we lost to Big W. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With a retail giant around, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only a matter of time before people will stay and shop in Berri.â&#x20AC;? Mr Nelsson supported the idea of a retail giant in the plaza when Target was originally linked to the plans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will be competing with them (Target) over certain lines but we would rather have them near us,â&#x20AC;? he said.

THE Riverland has lost a another high profile health official with Riverland Health Services director Geoff Illman finishing in his role at the end of the month. The search is now on to find a replacement for the role, with job applications closing on Saturday. Mr Illman has had an extensive association with the local health system, firstly working as the chief executive officer at the Loxton Hospital and Waikerie Health Services, as well as being the acting chief executive officer of the Renmark Paringa District Hospital and Riverland Private Hospital.

When he was accepted for the job of Riverland Health Services director in 2007, a Country Health SA media release said â&#x20AC;&#x153;he possesses an extensive knowledge and experience in health and will be a major driver of the improvement of services in the areaâ&#x20AC;?. As preparation of the 10 year health plan continues for the four Riverland Health Service Advisory Councils, the loss of Mr Illman is a big blow as he played a significant role in planning the future of the Riverland health system. Mr Illmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exit as Riverland Health Services director, follows the recent departure of the

regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only resident general surgeon Dr Arnold Seglenieks. Country Health SA chief executive officer George Beltchev said the search is on for Mr Illmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s replacement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Country Health SA is in the process of recruiting a new director for the Riverland Health Service and will make an announcement once the selection process has been finalised,â&#x20AC;? he said. A SA Health job pack shows the position of Riverland Health Services director as a job with an attractive three figure salary but an extensive list of responsibilities.

National Foods sale talks By BRAD PERRY BUSINESSES interested in buying National Foods’ Berri facility, when it goes on sale early next year, have begun discussions with the company. Liberal Candidate for Chaffey Tim Whetstone has provided the region with the hope of retaning jobs as he continues discussions with parties interested in purchasing the site of the juice giant. “There has now been dialogue exchanged between the businesses and National Foods,” he added. Mr Whetstone said the interested parties will be seeking information about the site, such as its working

Mr Fletcher believes it is wrong to get peoples’ hopes up by stating there is interest by another company to purchase the facility. However he said if a company did purchase the Berri site, it would be a great thing for the Riverland.

Berri Merry Christmas to spread festive cheer By LES PEARSON THE Riverland will have its first real sign that Christmas is near when the Berri District Business Association hosts the 2009 Berri Merry Christmas event on Friday. Association secretary Barry Phillips said every major Riverland town has its own unique Christmas event, and this Friday, Berri will be the first town to welcome the festive season. “It’s a good opportunity for local businesses and with all the entertainment and late night shopping on hand, people from throughout the Riverland can come along and enjoy the Christmas atmosphere in Berri,” Mr Phillips said. The event has been a popular fixture on local calendars for a number of years now. This year is the first time it has been held on a Friday night, a change from the usual Saturday evening event. Mr Phillips said he hopes the change will be for the better, making it easier on local businesses. The ABC will be broadcasting from the corner of William and Denny Street from 9am, while the afternoon activities get under way at 4pm with a variety of street activities, along with the arrival of Father Christmas during the evening. Local businesses will be

To help the crowd enjoy the day’s events, a number of chairs and tables will be set up throughout the closed off Wilson, Denny and William streets, as well as a section of Vaughan Terrace. Activities planned include performances by Rosie Clark’s School of Dance, Riverland Choral Group and local school band Eight Ball. There will be much more to see and do, with artistic displays to peruse in four empty shop fronts. “This is part of the Berri Art Project that was announced back in September,” Mr Phillips said. He added there will be ample food and drink stalls available, while a

jumping castle will keep the children entertained. Another feature of this year’s event will be a Christmas-themed picture display. Local school and kindergarten students will be encouraged to present their own Christmas drawing for inclusion. Further entertainment will be provided by the presence of three roving mime characters. Mr Phillips said this year Father Christmas will travel around the closed off streets, with frequent stops to meet and greet the children who are present. It all wraps up with a huge river and bridge fireworks display along the closed off Riverview Drive at 9.15pm.

A RIVERLAND woman had the fright of her life earlier this month when a snake poked its head through the grating of a drain while she was in the shower. The woman, who did not want to be named, described the serpent as being about the same diameter as an average whiteboard marker, managing to get about 12 centimetres through the drain. The woman recalled feeling something on her foot and on looking down, noticed the snake drinking the shower water. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just jumped back and got out,â&#x20AC;? she said. With her husband out of the home, she contacted local reptile expert Peter Bredl to find out how to deal with the intruder. She said she remained rather calm and did not â&#x20AC;&#x153;lose the plotâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t but my husband would have,â&#x20AC;? she laughed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He absolutely hates

them.â&#x20AC;? Mr Bredlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice was to run hot water through the system to flush the snake out the way it had come in. He also reassured the

woman the snake posed no immediate threat to her safety. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peter said it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have bitten me unless I happened to step on it, otherwise

it had no intention of biting me,â&#x20AC;? she said. On further investigation, it was found the snake was likely to have entered the system via the drain that the outdoor hot water system runs into. The woman said the system is rather common in the region, with a standard black grating that snakes are able to penetrate. This is no longer the case at her house, her husband modifying the grating with a second layer with smaller gaps, thus preventing another such incident happening again. She encourages other locals with similar systems to do the same. The incident is one of a number of random snake discoveries in recent weeks, with many of the reptiles being discovered in local homes, gardens and sheds. Other locations snakes have been discovered include air-conditioning vents and in eskies.

Lloydâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monster ride REPORT BY

BRAD PERRY purchased it almost four months ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People have never seen anything like it before,â&#x20AC;? he added. American celebrities such as basketballer Shaquille Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neal and actor/singer Orlando Brown are amongst those to own a version of the Ford F-650. The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;monster truckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, as described by some, can often be seen driving

through the streets of Loxton or parked outside the Wanbi Hotel and Mr Griffiths said the vehicle has a certain authority on the road. With a normal size car only reaching the height of the Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s door handle, Mr Griffiths said it is certainly a different driving experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can see if they have cleaned the tops of their roofs, put it that way,â&#x20AC;? he laughed. After driving around in a Landcruiser for several years, Mr Griffiths was looking to upgrade and first saw the Ford F-

650 on a website. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d only ever seen them on the internet, so I had never seen one (in real life),â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of 250s around and I never even realised they made the 650.â&#x20AC;? An avid car enthusiast, Mr Griffiths researched the humongous ute and decided to purchase and import the car from overseas in February of 2007. After a long wait, Mr Griffiths got his hands on the car for the first time just months ago and had to convert it from left

Turning dreams to reality THE 13th annual tarmac rally, Classic Adelaide, has attracted international crews and entries from every Australian state and territory, all who have a passion for high energy and the adrenalin rush that is motorsport. Closer to home, the Riverland Motorsport Club aims to provide a venue for locals to turn their own passion and dreams of racing into reality. MTA member Brian Loxton said that today â&#x20AC;&#x153;the club is closer than itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever been to building a drag strip in the Riverlandâ&#x20AC;?. Brian joined the club in 1975. Such is Brianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion for all things motor that his spare time is spent restoring a 1979 Corvette, L82, manual targa

top with matching numbers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My work is cars, my hobby is cars, you could say its my lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s driving passion,â&#x20AC;? Brian said. Another thing Brian is passionate about is MTA membership. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I sleep well at night knowing MTA will support me at the drop of a hat if need be,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like when GMAC left Australia and bolted back to the USA, the MTA were there to help, even before I asked.â&#x20AC;? For anyone wanting to join the motor industry and turn a passion into a career, Brian says the MTA Group Training Scheme is a great place to start.

Mr Griffiths said. His wife Helen said it is really hard to appreciate how big the vehicle is until you stand next to it. The Ford F-650 is quickly becoming a local attraction when it cruises Riverland roads. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is interesting to see the broad spectrum of people who admire it,â&#x20AC;? Mrs Griffiths said.

The powerful 6.7 litre, six speed automatic Ford has certainly gained mass attention from Riverlanders since Mr Griffiths

Solar hot water rebates still alive and kicking

OUSEHOLDS can save thousands of dollars on energy bills and reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions through the use of EcoSmart hot water, which offers customers the most comprehensive range of environmental hot water heaters. A major stimulus is that homeowners making the switch to solar hot water are entitled to the current Federal Government solar hot water rebate of $1600 plus the Renewable Energy Certiﬁcates (RECs) incentives to the value of up to $1175. Denny Honen from EcoSmart Hot Water said, “homeowners can still ride the wave of the solar hot water rebate.” “Solar hot water customers can be assured that they will still receive solar hot water rebates from the government to help reduce the cost of switching to environmental hot water. “With the

combination of Renewable Energy Certiﬁcates (RECs), the federal rebate and the NSW state rebate, the cost of installing a solar water heater is dramatically reduced,” Denny said. Hot water produces the largest carbon emissions from the home. Converting your hot water to solar not only produces long term money savings but signiﬁcant reductions in harmful greenhouse gases. By switching to solar hot water, households can expect to substantially reduce energy bills, while producing up to 65 per cent less greenhouse gas emissions per year than traditional electric water heaters – an overall saving of three tonnes of carbon. The EcoSmart range of environmentally friendly water heaters are designed to save money and the environment. The solar water heaters use the world’s latest solar technology, maximising solar

absorption, increasing energy efﬁciency and adding value to the home. EcoSmart hot water systems operates through the patented Hotlogic controller, which constantly searches for, and switches to the most cost effective, energy source available. As the Hotlogic controller constantly utilises the ‘cheapest’ available energy source, whether it be solar, gas or electric energy, households will see their energy bills reduced and longevity of their hot water systems protected. For further information on EcoSmart’s energyefﬁcient range of hot water heaters, please visit www.ecosmart. com.au or call 133 326. * To be eligible for the Federal Government’s solar hot water rebates, the new hot water system must replace an existing electric storage hot water system.

Looking for a future in film ■ From Page 1 John said he is hoping to get an overwhelming response to the movie to help him progress into a career in the film industry. “I am hoping just to get noticed,” he said. “The whole exercise of the film was just to put my name out there and to have a product to sell myself with.” The film’s plot is based around three main characters, including a mentally disabled man named Theo, played by John. Experiencing the ups and downs of everyday life, each character has their own unique story to tell. “Without giving too much away, in the middle of the film, one of the main characters gets killed, so it sort of flips the whole film on its head and the theme changes to hope and being able to get through the death of a loved one,” John said. On the verge of premiering Almost There, John is optimistic about his future in the film industry and said his next project could involve a short animated film or television series. Almost There will screen at 7.30pm at the Chaffey Theatre on Saturday and a DVD of the film will also be released next month with various special features, including the making of the film.

■ BUDDING: Loxton ﬁlm maker John DeCaux hopes the release of his debut ﬁlm Almost There will launch his career in the industry.

Stalking victim talks

Support for local expansion plans MINISTER for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries Paul Caica has announced two sets of funding to go to the region from the Regional Development Infrastructure Fund. The ﬁrst is a grant of up to $300,000 towards expansion plans at Kingston Estate Wines. “The grant recognises the impact that the winery’s further expansion has on its abili-

isolate you,” she said. There were several doubts playing on her mind, holding her back from contacting the police. Getting the police involved was not only going to affect the stalker’s family but effectively divide the community. “We’re programmed to look after other people’s feelings, rather than your own,” the victim said. She said the stalker may disappear for a number of months before resurfacing. She found that calling the police and reporting the ongoing predicament on 131 444 was the best solution. “Calling the phone number got a direct response,” the victim said. “There’s no prejudice, the police’s procedure is very cut and dried and they can see the things you may have missed.” The relief of once again being free to live her life after two years of being watched and having her privacy invaded was almost overwhelming. Her life got back on track. However, she still feels that one day, the aggressor may return. She said if anyone feels they are being stalked, take action as soon as possible. “As soon as you realise someone is becoming a problem, do something about it.”

STALKING is something that is seldom spoken about in everyday life but somewhere out there; it is affecting someone’s life, everyday. A Riverland woman, who did not wish to be named, recently found out how it feels to be a victim of such harassment. “The ﬁrst reaction for me was ‘no, this can’t be happening’,” she said. Things started mysteriously disappearing from her house, then emerging in different places. Photos began to go missing from family albums. “Things didn’t quite add up and at the same time, you have no idea what’s happening,” she said. “You sit there thinking ‘this only happens on TV, it doesn’t happen in real life, not to me’.” The victim became more aware of her surroundings. She noticed the suspected stalker was seeing her at different places during the week, whether at work or out in public, but generally at the same times. She started taking notes of what was happening, keeping record of different encounters and incidents where she felt her house had been intruded. She said while the diary is a good idea, it is best kept close, should it fall into the wrong hands. She admitted that her biggest mistake was not calling the police when she felt threatened. Her life began to change, she began living within the conﬁnes of the stalker’s threats. “They try and trap you and

ty to grow its business and staff numbers, contributing to the development of the Riverland,” Minister Caica said. Parilla Horticulture was the second recipient, recieving a $52,000 grant, also for its expansion. “The expansion will result in the creation of 10 jobs and generate an additional $3.5 million to the state’s economy,” Minister Caica said.

Thursday November 19, 2009 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Riverland Weekly â&#x20AC;˘ 11 Have your say about the issues that effect you.

Letters to the editor Who takes the blame IS THE offer of retraining of the 64 employees of National Foods to be made redundant next year another band-aid measure by a Labor Government refusing to address the real issues facing this region? Why isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the government spending this retraining money to help the industries and businesses that rely on this important Riverland icon to ensure it continues its operation? This way we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need the employees to be retrained and we could keep this skilled labour force in the region. The status of the operations at McKay Road has always been an indicator of the health of the economy in the Riverland. The flow on effect of the business activity is enormous, with hundreds of additional jobs at risk in these associated businesses. For the government to come up with this media inspired offer to retrain the remaining 64 staff is an insult to the region and the 91 National Foods employees who have already lost their jobs this year. Where are their retraining packages? Where are the retraining packages for all the employees of support industries who are likely to lose their jobs? Surely this must flag to us this Labor Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intentions towards this electorate in the future. Is this Government committed to the area as a food producer? Primary production generated over $1 billion in the region last year. However, not only is locally produced foods an income earner for the region but it is also paramount to ensure this stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food security into the future. We need to deal with the bigger issue of why National Foods has chosen to cease its operations in the Riverland. By addressing the cause, surely we can find a solution which will give our important food processing industry a chance. To add insult to injury, our local Member, when asked to comment on the closure of National Foods operations at Berri last week, stated that â&#x20AC;&#x153;it certainly is the end of an era but the writing had been on the wall for a long timeâ&#x20AC;?. Minister, the same could be said for the future of the car industry in South Australia but we continue to see the government reinvesting in that industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future. I expected you to have fought

harder for your electorate and not merely written us off so easily. I believe this region has a future as a primary producer and a food processor. However, to do so we need to have the support of both the State and Federal Governments with good policy and a firm long term commitment to the region and its people. Tim Whetstone, Liberal candidate for Chaffey.

Refuting health claim I WRITE in response to your article â&#x20AC;&#x153;Surgeon: Workload too bigâ&#x20AC;? (Riverland Weekly, October 22) and the accompanying editorial. Firstly, I would like to acknowledge Dr Segleniekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s services to the Riverland community for more than a decade. His dedication and longstanding commitment are greatly appreciated. I wish him well in his future career. However, I refute the claim that this government holds country health in contempt. Compared to the previous Liberal Government, which closed services across country SA, we are investing in and improving country health. Under the Country Health Strategy, Berri Hospital will be one of South Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four country general hospitals and will be developed to make sure more services are available locally. The Rann Government is investing $41 million, to deliver by 2013-14, two new operating theatres and a procedure room; a new larger accident and emergency area; a new high dependency unit; a new obstetrics unit; a new renal unit; more cancer and chemotherapy services; new mental health facilities; and new rehabilitation and palliative care facilities. The redevelopment will increase the number of acute beds at the hospital and increase capacity in the larger accident and emergency area. As well as investment in new facilities, the Rann Government is also delivering better access to services locally in the Riverland, including general surgery, rehabilitation and palliative care, aged care, renal dialysis, paediatrics, mental health, obstetrics and gynaecology, outpatient services, chemotherapy, allied health care, primary health care, domiciliary care and orthopaedic surgery. Rural doctors are vital to the health of country communities and doctors are encouraged to

work in country areas with attractive salaries and a supportive hospital culture. Medical students get a taste of country practice through rural clinical schools, placements and bonded scholarships. Overcoming the difficulties caused by distance and smaller populations in many country towns is a challenge but we are investing in the services and the people to provide them and remain absolutely committed to the provision of good health care to all South Australians. John Hill, SA Health Minister.

Portaloo response ANNE, I am more than happy to tell the public I was the person who hired your portaloo (Riverland Weekly letters, November 4). You rang my wife Sunday after you came out to pick up the portaloo (instead of perhaps ringing before) and very irately said that you were â&#x20AC;&#x153;knockingâ&#x20AC;? at our door for 10 minutes and noone answered and we are now to return it ourselves. We live in a two storey house and it has a large (very loud) doorbell, which is also a speaker you can talk into. There were six of us upstairs watching TV at the time. Monday morning when you rang me, you demanded in quite a rude manner I return the portaloo, or I will be further charged. I said I did not have a towing vehicle until Wednesday, you said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;right, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be there in 10 minutes, have it outside ready,â&#x20AC;? and you hung up on me. I did say why did you not send a man because as I recall (when you dropped it off and it being empty), you needed assistance by at least two of us to put it in position. So it being full, I was implying that if you so desperately wanted to pick it up, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way you could on your own. But because you were jumping down my throat, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really get a chance to verify that. I think you know Anne, that the portaloo being full, is very heavy and quite impossible to move by one person, especially by a lady. At least two or three strong people can lift and push this heavy unit safely (I believe) through OH&S standards. And furthermore, I did not specify your business has favoured a councillor. I mentioned government, council and other higher businesses (as an example only) have

Tower Tavern Presents. . .

had favours been done in the past. I say this because I know people that have worked there before and it has happened... I am not here to rubbish your business (because it is probably a good one), I am simply replying to your letter and explain I was disappointed in the way you handled the situation with us. You are probably a lovely person and I do understand it was hot (and you offered to drop off and pick it up) but it is still no excuse to treat us this way. With all due respect, we will not be needing your business in the future again. Con Doupis, Barmera.

RSL thank you I WISH to take this opportunity, through your columns, to express the thanks of the Renmark SubBranch of the Returned & Services League to those 25 volunteers for their efforts in raising in excess of $3250 for this very worthy cause during the past week. Although some of these volunteers are sub-branch members, by far the larger number are other local residents who willingly and kindly donated their time and energies towards this annual fundraising venture; the total proceeds from which will be remitted to state headquarters, to be devoted towards the ongoing costs of welfare and accommodation of service veterans. May I also acknowledge, with our sincere thanks, the generosity of the Renmark Paringa community and also visitors to our district for their continued financial support of Remembrance Day and the significance which it holds for so many people in so many places. While we are all too aware of the financial constraints placed upon so many of our community at present, it is heart warming and gratifying to note the preparedness of those among us to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;dig a little deeperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to honour and remember those who made the supreme sacrifice in the service of our country in time of war. Chester Warren, President, RSL Renmark Sub-Branch.

Mid Murray Council

Murray Valley United fight By BRAD PERRY RIVERLANDERS have joined the fight against the Federal and State Governmentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; water reforms, committing more than $2500 to the Murray Valley United cause. Hundreds of concerned irrigators rallied to hear Murray Valley Unitedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case in Barmera recently and many more are expected to make their way to a meeting in Murray Bridge tonight. Coalition of Concerned River Murray Communities chairman David Peake

â&#x2013; CCRMC chairman David Peake said it could be the final opportunity to sign up and support the Murray Valley United High Court case.

Murray Valley Unitedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s QC will update those who attend the meeting on preparation for the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next court appearance in December. Mr Peake said the group has been strengthened by the backing of Independent Senator Nick Xenephon, who he says is â&#x20AC;&#x153;supportive of what is happeningâ&#x20AC;?. The meeting will be held at the SA Murray Darling Basin Natural Resource Management building on Mannum Road, Murray Bridge, from 7pm.

Blanchetown beautifies By BRAD PERRY BLANCHETOWNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S casual houseboat mooring area is receiving an upgrade with the latest instalment of a picnic setting to beautify the area. The Mid Murray Council received a request for the supply and installation of a picnic table and chairs by the Blanchetown Progress Association. Mid Murray Council chief executive officer Dean Gollan said it is another addition to a large scale project occurring at the mooring area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is all part of the overall project to make the area more user friendly,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We rely very much on tourism in that area...and the picnic scene adds to the

friendly atmosphere.â&#x20AC;? Mr Gollan hopes more people will continue to use the mooring area and said it will only benefit the commu-

nity if houseboats have the facilities to stop and relax. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would expect more people to use that area,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Council lights the way

By BRAD PERRY THE Mid Murray Council has received community requests to add more street lights in Swan Reach and Cadell. Council is currently reviewing a request for aes-

thetic lighting to be added along Victoria Street from the Swan Reach takeaway shop to the caravan park. Meanwhile, council has accepted a request for extra street lighting at the Cadell War Memorial. Mid Murray Council

chief executive officer Dean Gollan said it is important to have appropriate lighting in its communities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Council has been very supportive of requests we have from community groups in our areas for additional lighting,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Community hit by pool closure THE deteriorating condition of Mannumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only public swimming pool means that the community is staring down the barrel of a 2009/10 summer without a pool. The Mannum Community College swimming pool, which is widely used by both the college students and the community, failed a recent occupational health and safe-

ty inspection and will require significant funding for repairs to be made. While the school is chasing funding through the Department of Education, Mid Murray Council chief executive officer Dean Gollan said it will be a challenge to get the pool open this summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because of the condition of the pool at the moment, it

seems unlikely to open this summer,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is unfortunate but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still got to meet certain standards.â&#x20AC;? Areas which did not meet safety requirements include the pump and chemicals storing shed, pool fencing and the wading pool was too shallow for water quality to be maintained at the correct safety level.

It seems like the kids had a lot of fun, visiting all of the popular attractions, including Kelly Hill Caves, Seal Bay and Remarakable Rocks. It sounds like a great week away for the Highway 12 Schools kids â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially judging by the photos they sent in!

Generous businesses pitch in for CARA Camp

RIVERLAND Community Health Services had a great result with a mini Pit Stop for men at the recent Mallee Sustainable Farming Field Day. Around 70 men were screened, out of the 150 attending the event, and they visited stations including Duco (skin care), Exhaust (smoking), Shock Absorbers (stress test), Chassis Check (body fat) and Oil Pressure (blood pressure). For those who underwent the Pit Stop, there were some prizes on offer too, organised

â&#x2013; FUN: Local businessesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; generosity assisted with running the recent CARA Camp in Berri. EIGHT children, including four from the Riverland, participated in the CARA Camp earlier this month. The group stayed at the Berri Caravan Park, which donated the accommodation, and had all meals and entertainment provided by the Berri Lions Club.

Co-ordinator Jenny Thiele said the camp, in its fifth year, was a great success and thanked all the businesses and people who supported the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am extremely happy with how we ran it and the co-operation we got from the Berri people,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is really important be-

cause it actually gives parents time out.â&#x20AC;? The children also participated in a treasure hunt in the Riverland Central Plaza, where businesses donated items, and Houseboat Adventures owner Brian Smith took them for a scenic cruise on the River Murray.

KNOWN as Australian Zirconâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prime asset, the Mindarie mineral sands mine commenced two years ago, employing more than 100 workers from all areas of the state. The $80 million Mindarie zircon and titanium mine began with much hope and an estimated 14 year life span. The first shipments of Zircon and ilmenite from the Mindarie facility occurred in November 2007 and was exported after travelling to Port Pirie via the Mindarie railway. However, the Mindarie Mining Company ran into trouble earlier this year when it fell more than $40 million in debt and was rescued by Austrian steel company DCM. Australian Zircon showed further faith in the Mindarie mine, when

it added new processing machinery mid year to help mineral sands processing to be more efficient. According to the PIRSA website, ore at the Mindarie site is highly valued but â&#x20AC;&#x153;too deep to economically extractâ&#x20AC;?. The site also states â&#x20AC;&#x153;Australian Zircon will work on gaining a better understanding of the geology of the area and ore bodies by infill drilling, instead of having a hole strandline and mining the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sweet spotsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?. At present, the company is in administration with mining operations suspended, with the exception of the processing of some residual ore, as discussions with third parties interested in processing ore through the Mindarie mine continue.

AUSTRALIAN ZIRCON MINDARIE MINE

NEWS

Riverland Weekly journalist BRAD PERRY takes a look at the past, present and future of the Australian Zircon Mindarie Mine.

A positive future? WHILE the axe has fallen on up to 85 workers at Australian Zirconâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mineral sands mine in Mindarie, the future of the facility itself remains surprisingly positive. Operations at the mine came under review and the site was closed earlier this month before the mineral sand mine went into administration. The three areas under review are the cost structure, reserve estimates and financing options. Administrator Bryan Hughes this week said it is a case of trying to recover and find reasons why operations at the Mindarie mine have caused it to run at a loss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are still looking into all of the reasons, it is not clear at this stage,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ore body hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stacked up to what it was expected to be.â&#x20AC;? Mr Hughes said a limited number of workers left are maintaining the site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been reduced to a core staff of 25...to keep the plant ticking over,â&#x20AC;? he said. Currently the plant

remains closed and Mr Hughes said creditors and stakeholders will vote on the future of the Mindarie mine in the coming months after receiving a report on future options. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Certainly the plant will be utilised, it is just a process of whose ore will be put through there,â&#x20AC;? Mr Hughes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It needs to be determined whether it can be mined viably. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are currently renegotiating a recaptilisation funding arrangement with a larger shareholder.â&#x20AC;? About 50 creditors met last month and a committee was established and updated on the situation of the Mindarie Mine. A follow up meeting of creditors will be held on December 11, when a detailed report on the recapitilisation plan and expected returns for creditors will be presented. Workers who were made redundant have been told they will get their full entitlements and it is understood they will be paid out by December 11.

Bonus spin-offs for towns PLANS to operate a mineral sand mine in Mindarie were met with initial resistance by residents in Mindarie and surrounding farming communities and now several years after its establishment, locals have vowed to fight on without it. Mindarie Store owner Bev Fowler said the extra income from mine workers and those seeking accommodation in the town has been a bonus. However, Mrs Fowler said the surrounding communities will continue to survive, despite the loss of over 80 workers from the mine site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we have earnt with the mine being there is a bonus,â&#x20AC;? she said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It (the loss of jobs) is going to affect everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s income a little bit.â&#x20AC;? Mrs Fowler said local grain farmers will be hit hard by the loss of tenants for their rental properties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is really depressing for some of them but I am sure they will get around it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now they will just have to survive the way they always have.â&#x20AC;? While many of the former mine workers came from out of town, Mrs Fowler said the small number of locals who lost jobs will really feel the pinch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of them went in looking to upgrade (their home) but because they have

Groups join to support cause By KEISHA KING THE Riverland Domestic Violence Action Group and Zonta Club of the Riverland have joined forces to show the community the importance of White Ribbon Day. On the 25th of this

month, an Our Shout fundraiser will be held in Berri with groups coming together to support the cause with a complimentary barbecue provided for those involved. The purpose of the day is to support the elimination of violence against women.

Ambassador for the event Iris Furtado encourages the support of those in the community to come together and get involved with the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The day advocates how unacceptable violence against women is,â&#x20AC;? Mrs Furtado said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be the first event of its kind, so we want to make it as big as possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be a day of fun for a very important issue where we will get the community to stand together against domestic violence so it can be rectified in the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Domestic violence is a horrid issue, so we want the campaign against it to go from strength to strength.â&#x20AC;? Teams of four will be encouraged to shout â&#x20AC;&#x153;out shout against domestic violenceâ&#x20AC;? from the top of the Berri bridge with a prize going to the loudest shout. Max Wurfel will be the guest speaker on the day, thanking the community for the support they have shown for the cause. Registrations start from 4pm at the White Ribbon marquee on Riverview Drive. Men are also encouraged to participate in the day where they will be encouraged to shout â&#x20AC;&#x153;no more, no wayâ&#x20AC;? to support the cause.

lost their job, they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to,â&#x20AC;? she said. Mrs Fowler, along with her husband John, have run the Mindarie store for the past 15 years and when the mine opened, the business changed its opening hours from three days a week to seven, when the mine opened. Now, the store may have to have its opening days cut back again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can just slow down a little bit if we have to,â&#x20AC;? Mrs Fowler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are people still working out there and we are getting business from them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully the mine will get going and get back on its feet.â&#x20AC;?

THE bulk loss of jobs at the Mindarie mine could have lasting consequences for the Riverland and Mallee region as a whole, according to a local council. Karoonda East Murray Council chief executive officer Peter Smithson said local hotels and caravan parks have felt the immediate impact of the job cuts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are extremely disappointed that it has transpired in the manner that it has,â&#x20AC;? he said. Mr Smithson said workers were bused into the mine site twice a day and that service will no longer be required. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our wish is that if those facilities could be used that would be good,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To say that we have been impacted, would be an understatement.â&#x20AC;? According to Mr Smithson, the Mindarie Mine has played a major part in stimulating the economy in the Mallee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it has definitely contributed to the economy of the area and has provided off farming income which is important,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Eagle Boys serves up tasty birthday

FTER delivering more than 45,000 meals to local pizza lovers over the past 12 months, Eagle Boys Berri is firing up its ovens to celebrate its first birthday. With the help of feathery mascot Eagle Boy, the Berri store will celebrate tomorrow by offering pizzas at the Cheap Tuesday price to any customer who arrives dressed in pink on the day. As to how and where you wear your pink, Eagle Boys Berri owner David Centofanti was not overly fussed. “As long as you show us,” he laughed. “The crazier, the better.” Eagle Boy will also be wandering around with various giveaways including pens, stubby holders, stickers, water bottles and magnets. Mr Centofanti said the past year had been a blur of pizza sauce and toppings thanks to the support of the local community. “Berri is a great place to do business, and we’ve been growing each day as more and more residents visit our store and sample our delicious pizzas,” he said. “I would in fact like to thank everyone in the Riverland community for their generous support. “In the past 12 months, we have served over 22,000 hungry customers, prepared 45,000 pizzas and made 1500 deliveries to local pizza lovers. “I encourage local families and pizza lovers to pop into Eagle Boys to say hello and sample our delicious new pizzas.” Amongst the popular changes since switching from the Pizza Haven franchise are the Dessert Thingies and the newly introduced premium pizza range. “I’m definitely happy with how well we’ve done since the change and I’m excited about the future here as well,” Mr Centofanti said. “It’s been a good change and the results

have been very positive.” Eagle Boys Pizza is Australia’s second largest pizza maker and is 100 per cent Australian-owned. It operates more than 280 franchised stores throughout Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, and the Northern Territory, employing more than 4000 staff and making more than 16 million pizzas a year. Mr Centofanti wished to thank the staff for their support over the past 12 months. “They really put in the extra effort and are prepared to go the extra mile in their customer service,” he said.

Superannuation payments may have two components, preserved benefits and non-preserved benefits.

Although it may be tempting to invest a lump sum payment in shares or a managed fund, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wiser to place funds in a cash management trust that offers low risk and provides easy access to funds should you need them. There are many issues surrounding redundancy and retirement entitlements.

This is a complex area and there is no hard and fast rule that applies to every situation. Each personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s circumstances will be unique and therefore it is crucial that you seek professional financial advice before making any decisions with what could be the largest lump sum payment youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ever receive. *Note: this information is of a general nature only.

The kitchen includes a large pantry, overhead cupboards with rangehood and breakfast bar. This much loved home includes Ducted Evaporative Air Conditioning, ceiling fans, 3 bedrooms, two with built in robes, recently landscaped front yard, upgraded roof and gutters, secure Double carport with electric roller door, Aviaries, glasshouse, large back yard and rear lane access. The Insulated shed 2 roller doors has been lined and converted into a massive games room. Great value!

LOXTON personal touch to revive the garden and enhance the overall appeal. The well fenced back yard has a garden shed and rain water tank and is big enough for an extra shed if needed it but not so big that looking after it becomes a chore. The spacious lounge has a new air conditioner and the kitchen and dining area are central to the home. The

bathroom has a separate shower, large bath, vanity and toilet. There is also the added bonus of a second toilet adjacent to the spacious laundry. New carpets throughout and a fresh coat of paint inside makes this a great home in a good location at a sensible price. Reside or invest, why settle for less?

Pet’s Life

I loathe people who keep dogs. They are cowards who haven’t got the guts to bite people themselves. ~ August Strindberg

Keeping your pets cool in the heat of summer IT IS hot outside. What do humans do? We take off those winter coats and heavy clothing, we stay in the cool air-conditioned building, we head to the pool or river for a swim and we drink lots of cool water. Seems obvious, right? As responsible pet owners, we know to not leave our pets in cars (even on mildly warm days) or stuck out in the sun without access to shade. But what about more ‘in-depth’ tips to keep our pets as cool and comfortable as possible for those times we must leave our pets as we go to work or other appointments? Just having shade and a bowl of water may not be enough in a severe heat wave. When the ambient temperature is very warm, the water dish doesn’t have to be in the sun to heat the water up enough where a pet will not drink it. Chickens and geese require a lot of water to drink all year round. They would probably die of thirst before drinking warm water. Dogs and cats vary in their sense of taste/temperature but fresh cool water is, of course, the top choice for all animals. In no particular order, here are some quick tips to ensure that your pet stays cool this summer and avoids any possible emergency situation such as heatstroke. ■ Water: Keep water in the shade and make sure it is fresh every day. ■ Keep it fresh: If possible, have fresh “on demand” water available, such as a hose bib waterer. ■ A refreshing cool down: Or think of it as a ‘bath’ without soap. Use a garden hose to wet down your dog or use a cool, very wet towel to wet down your cat for evaporative cooling. Once animals ﬁgure this out, many enjoy this quick water cool down. ■ Poolside: For animals that love the water, an inexpensive child’s pool or poly rubber water trough make excellent ‘on demand’ swimming pools for pets. Caution is advised - make sure that the pets

are able to use the pool without risk of drowning. ■ A sprinkle a day: Setting up a sprinkler or drip hose works well for some animals. This keeps the water running and cool, allowing for a fresh water source on demand. Observe your pet to see how they react to a sprinkler or running water; before assuming everything is fine. Some pets prefer a fine spray, yet others love to be hosed down at the full pressure. ■ Always available water: Secure the water dish to avoid an accidental spill. You may also want to consider adding another water bowl or two in your pet’s area, just in case. ■ Ouch - hot feet alert: If you will be walking with your pet, remember that while paw pads are ‘tough’, they are also sensitive, and can be burned while walking on hot pavement and tar. If possible, walk on grass or dirt and check your pet’s paw pads to make sure there isn’t any redness or pain. ■ Good grooming is important for your pet’s health and comfort. Speak with a groomer or veterinarian to find out what is best for your pet. A full shave may not be the answer, depending on your pet’s coat/breed and caution is advised for white and light-skinned pets getting sunburned. ■ Made in the shade: If your pet must be outside, make sure that shade is available at all times. While home, be sure to check the area your pet is in - as the sun changes, is the shade still readily available? ■ Loud summer noises: If hot summer thunderstorms or fireworks are a possibility in your area, is your pet safe? If possible, arrange to have a friend or neighbour check on your pet during extreme weather (heat and storm activity) to make sure that your pet hasn’t done anything out of the ordinary due to stress or fear that could risk injury or heat-related problems.

If possible, have fresh ‘on demand’ water available.

It’s good to see some level of increase in water allocations for irrigators and hope it’s a sign that things may further improve in 2010 and beyond. I guess the big news of the past three months, especially for the Barmera community, is that Lake Bonney has started refilling with 26GL of water allocated. Around 13 gigalitres has already gone into the lake and the remainder should be in by early in the new year. Professional fishers have also been busy netting carp as they congregate

Lake Bonney has started refilling with 26GL of water allocated under Nappper’s Bridge and as levels rise further we should see the carp cages in opertation. We will provide a full update on Lake Bonney in our next feature in February. The BBLAP Committee held its annual meeting on Tuesday, with no changes to the current committee, aside from Gill Beeson stepping aside as cochair due to other commitments. We would love to see a few new faces representing the Berri Barmera community, so if you can spare around six Tuesday evenings a year, we would love to hear from you. As can be seen in the accompanying articles once again there is plenty happening, so I hope you enjoy finding out about the recent environmental happenings in the Berri Barmera area. Please feel free to give us a call or drop into the office if you would like to find out more. In closing, I would like to wish everyone a safe and happy upcoming festive season (yes it’s almost upon us) and make sure you all take care during summer.

Barmera Primary attends national conference SIX students from Barmera Primary School recently attended the International River Health Conference in Canberra. Seven hundred Year 5 to 11 students from all over Australia and a group from New Zealand came together to promote authentic learning on a broad spectrum of environmental issues. Part of the experience took the form of a formal conference format with guest speakers and an expert panel made up of notable environmental leaders and politicians with student led workshops and hands on group activities completing the experience. The conference was about becoming passionate about our environment (the heart), becoming knowledgeable about issues through research and developing workshops to share the outcomes (the head) and then using the experience and understanding to physically do related activities during an environmental project day (the hand). The Barmera students, supported by the Berri Barmera LAP Committee and Lake Bonney Management Committee chairper-

son Mike Fuller, had developed a workshop to show the changes which have occurred to Lake Bonney over the past few years. This was done through an interactive play showing the plight of the Lake’s inhabitants as salt levels rose, a powerpoint presentation providing visuals and facts on the lake closure through to the current building of the culverts and fish trap and rounding off with a number of games to help students better understand the issues. During the four days the students were able to ‘rub shoulders’ with celebrities including Claire Hooper, Josh Thomas, Luke Jacobz and Natalie Hunter. They also met students from a wide range of backgrounds but all with the common cause of wanting to make a positive impact to understand our natural environment and to do their bit to turn around the mistakes of the past to work towards a positive future. Students from Kingstonon-Murray, Glossop High, Lameroo Regional Community School and the Upper Murray Youth Environment Council also attended.

■ SITE: The travelling group looks around one of the sites visited during the wetland bus tour hosted by the BBLAP committee.

THE BBLAP committee ran a highly successful wetland bus tour last Saturday morning. After the tour was postponed in October due to rain creating a wet, impassable floodplain, participants in the wetland tour last Saturday again faced unusual weather – this time in the form of the November heatwave. Regardless of the rising mercury, a good turn out of around 20 interested community members braved the heat to enjoy the educational trip around the Mussel Lagoons, Overland Corner and Lake Bonney. SA MDB NRM Board employees Callie Nickolai and Amy Scott along with BBLAP project Manager Paul Stribley, gave informative talks to the group along the way on topics ranging from wetland monitoring at Overland Corner and fire damage at Mussel Lagoons to frenzied carp breeding at Lake Bonney. Overland Corner local, and member of the National Trust of SA, Ron Boyce also spoke to the group about the projects and watering activities that have been undertaken at Overland Corner and their future plans for the

wetland. A relaxing morning tea with coffee and cake was also spent in the Overland Corner Hotel garden, with participants able to investigate the hotel and its many historical treasures. The trip proved to be especially interesting as each of these wetlands have been filled with water this year and the participants were able to see the wetlands inundated with water for the first time in several years. The healthy looking wetlands provided convenient shady spots under regenerating River Red Gums for participants to shelter under from the heat whilst spotting birds and viewing the unique aquatic vegetation that has emerged since water was reintroduced. Participants on the tour commented on their enjoyment of the day and their interest in seeing and learning about wetlands they do not usually have the opportunity to view. With this year’s tour such a success the BBLAP is looking forward to running a similar event again next year and hopes to engage more community interest through such events.

Seeking passionate volunteers ARE you passionate about the environment and want to get involved in environmental action in your region? Local Action Planning Committee’s are there to provide a vital link between Natural Resource Management and the community. We are always looking for new members or volunteers to participate in our projects and get involved. Current projects we have running, that we encourage the community to get involved in, are our Community Wetland Monitoring days and our tree propagation activities. Community Wetland Monitoring is run every three months around the wetlands of Martin Bend, Overland Corner, Spectacle Lakes/Beldora and the ■ MONITORING: Community members monitoring ground water at a wetland monitoring day.

Mussel Lagoons. The monitoring generally takes a few hours on a Saturday or Sunday which is then followed by a morning or afternoon tea. Community members participate in collecting ground water samples, monitoring surface water, and assessing vegetation health through photopoints. Fish, bird and frog surveys are also conducted at various times of the year. If you are interested in getting involved with our unique wetlands and getting to know people who share your interest in the environment then wetland monitoring could be the perfect activity for you. Our next Community Monitoring Events are coming up in December and January so contact us now to talk about participating in this unique event. The other major project that the BBLAP is currently running is our tree propagation project. Each year students at Glossop

High School propagate a number of boxes of plants which are then provided to landholders (see Expressions of interest story at the bottom of the page for more information). With the anticipated increase in demand due to the number of vacant blocks occuring, we are looking at increasing the number of plants we produce. Even if you are not interested in getting actively involved in BBLAP activities we still encourage you to become a member. Becoming a member ensures that we will keep you informed of our activities, successes and any special events that we ma y be running. If you would like to become involved in any of these projects, or are thinking about becoming a member then please contact the office and speak to Paul or Ruth about how you can get involved.

Interest sought for revegetation program THE BBLAP committee in conjunction with Glossop High School will again be propagating native plants over summer to provide to landholders who wish to undertake revegetation activities next year. We are currently asking that anyone who wishes to receive trees and plants for revegetation plantings, habitat corridors or

windbreaks to contact Paul or Ruth. We are trying to determine what level of interest there may be as supplies are likely to be limited if demand is high. It is intended to provide plants free of charge to landholders, though projects may be prioritised if necessary.

■ BASIN WATCH: An initial 55ML of water was applied in the Loveday Basin late last week.

Water applied to reduce odour WITH the onset of summer and dropping water levels in Loveday Basin, residents of Cobdogla are again starting to feel the effects of odour eminating from the basin. Whilst the BBLAP committee is working with the Department of Water Land and Biodiversity to identify a long term management solution for this issue, I can confirm that 480ML of water had been allocated for odour management this summer. At this stage it is acknowledged that part filling the basin with water is still the only short term solution to mitigating the odour. An initial 55ML was applied late last week, with the intent of raising the water to around 8.7m AHD. It is estimated that this will last for around six to eight weeks, depending on weather conditions. We will be aiming to keep water levels above a minimum threshold of 8.2m AHD for all of summer, as evidence from previ-

ous years suggests the odour occurs primarily when levels fall below this point. It is already planned to apply a sufficient quantity of water prior to Christmas (regardless of whether odour is present or not at that time) that should get Cobdogla residients and visitors through the Christmas/New Year and January holiday period, without having to worry about odour issues. Subsequent re-wetting will occur when the trigger points are reached. As stated earlier, the Department of Water Land and Biodiversity in conjunction with the LAP is investigating potential long term solutions. We are currently asking community members with ideas to email them to paul@bblap.org.au as soon as possible. If you have any questions about Loveday Basin or to report presence of odour, please contact Rick Mousley at DWLBC on 8204 8548.

■ WALK: The BBLAP’s walking trail project is progressing well.

Walking trails project update THE WALKING Trails project is progressing well, with the initial planning stages well underway. We are narrowing down our options and have begun focussing on the area between Berri and the Katarapko National Park, as well as extending the design for one trail some distance into the national park. We believe walking trails in this area will provide tourists and locals with greater options for leisure activities and give everyone a chance to experience our unique river frontage and vegetation up close. Currently the focus of the design of the trails is in ensuring that they are accessible from Berri, for ease of use, and take in the shady pleasant walk on the north side of the River Murray down towards Lock 4. The walk is along easy terrain with many opportunities for leisurely walks bird watching and, possibly, picnicking.

The length of the proposed trail would make it suitable for multiple uses – for bushwalkers, cyclists and cross country runners. As well as developing a long linear trail several loops around the black box areas in and around Eckert’s Creek, are also being investigated as potential routes. To further the trail’s educational value interpretive signs we are also being considered which would detail and highlight areas of cultural or environmental significance along these routes. At this stage much further consultation needs to be carried out before any final decisions are made. Further information or questions and comments regarding the project can be made to Ruth Patching on 0428 813 508, 8582 2183, or on ruth@bblap.org.au

CHARLIE’S SPORTS GOSS WITH GRAHAM CHARLTON

The Riverland’s most authoritative sports commentator ...

Soccer president goes around again ■ RENMARK’S Steve Poutakidis was returned as Riverland Soccer Association president at its annual meeting recently. Poutakidis, who took out the 2008/09 Berri Ltd Steve McFarlane Contribution to Sport award earlier this month, reported that the only change to the executive committee was the replacement of secretary Tony Guster (who stood down for personal reasons) by local Be Active field officer Adrian Pipe. Other ongoing members are Bill Bucon, vice president; Mark Constas, treasurer; and records officer Louie Avlonitis. Talking to Steve about plans for the season ahead, he said he had already written to Sunraysia expressing

State junior tryouts ■ FIFTEEN local basketballers attended state junior team tryouts in Adelaide last weekend, with nine gaining positions in various age group squads. Selected were Ellee Elefheriadis, Staci Pront, Steph Sarro, Indee Thiele, Thylah Cooper (reserve), Tyson Hoffmann, Ben Clark, Bree Seabrook and James Coats. Riverland Basketball Association president Les Lange, who attended the try outs, made reference to a talented group of juniors who were also chasing state spots and “were unfortunate to miss out”. They included Meg Gillespie, Kaiden Coats, Che Lange, Lachie McDonald, Mikalya Graetz and Hamish Peberdy. Junior tournaments for the SA teams in January will be the annual state event at Albury Wodonga and the Port Macquarie Classic. While in Adelaide, Les took time out to watch former Renmark junior Nicole Seekamp represent the AIS in the National Women’s League game against Adelaide’s Lightning. “Gee she played well,” he said, “she is really going places”.

Taylor bowled over in final 16 ■ KEITH ‘Squizzy’ Taylor, who last week qualified for the final 16 of the State Open Singles Lawn Bowls Championships at the Marion Bowling Club gave a fantastic show but unfortunately he was unable to proceed to the semi-final stage of the event. His three games resulted in 16-21, 1621, 19-21 losses but, as you can see, he was by no means disgraced. Not bad for someone who has only been bowling seriously for a couple of seasons. Great experience will be gained and I am certain the Squizz will be back to give it another go.

his association’s desire to continue their over the border affiliation. Also, the RSA conducted its annual review of the past season and listed options and prioritised them into an order that would best benefit Riverland soccer. Amongst the aims looking ahead was the development of facilities as a headquarters at Renmark number three oval. Poutakidis was also encouraged by a comment from Loxton president, Mark Kershaw that with a number of under 16 players due to leave junior ranks, a senior team may be possible from the club in 2010. In addition, there are thoughts of extending on the successful senior wom-

en’s competition introduced in 2009, perhaps with an under 13 grade, if numbers allow. With that in mind Steve was encouraged by the Adelaide University girl’s team showing an interest in developing an affiliation with the Riverland. “They will be here on Saturday, December 5, to conduct a clinic at Renmark number three oval and all local girls 11 to 16 years old are welcome to attend,” he said. “Then they have also booked in to come back for a camp from December 15 and again they are inviting any locals that are interested to take part.” Any enquiries, contact Steve on 0418 953 205.

“The big ones” return to Waikerie skies ■ AS the senior instructor of the Waikerie Gliding Club, Bill Mudge said “the big ones are coming back”. He is referring to the open class gliders with their 30 metre wingspans that will be at the club for the elite FAI Class National Championships from January 4 to12. Also amongst the capacity 60 gliders, coming from all over Australia, will be 15 metre and standard class units. Waikerie regularly hosted this major event from the 1970s to 1990s in rotation with Victoria, NSW, Queensland and occasionally West Australia but in more recent times the two national championships held there have involved club class. Allocating the FAI competition to Waikerie recognises the class of the site.

■ DAYS GONE BY: The impressive grid of gliders when the club hosted an event in 2005. “The 1974 World Championships really put Waikerie on the map and no matter where you go in gliding circles around the globe, everyone knows where Waikerie is and how good the conditions are here for the sport,” Bill said. In fact, such is the reputation of the club, that the major event comes here despite it

now returning to only a weekend operation serviced by volunteers. “The economic situation and other aviation pursuits have resulted in a move away from a full time operation using paid staff after something like 30 years,” Bill said. The flying routes for January will vary between 250 and 700 kilometres and travel mostly

south and east, so places that will probably see gliders include Pinnaroo, Karoonda, Mildura, Balranald, Robinvale and, weather permitting, even the Flinders Ranges. And for those of us that remember coming across stranded gliders in the most unexpected places in that 1970-1990s period, we can pretty much forget it this time.

Bill explains that “things have changed, the cockpit of some of the better class gliders these days resembles that of an airliner with all their instruments and gadgets”. “Up to half of the craft will have their own retrieval motors fitted, so in an emergency they will be able to make their own way home,” he said.

Horsman part of dominant win in veterans clash ■ OUR ‘have tennis racquet will travel’ man, Barmera’s Mike Horsman, has been on the move again, having just played in the Sunraysia Seniors Victorian tournament, followed by the annual Tri-State Veterans Clash involving SA,

Victoria and NSW. The latter tournament has been running for about 20 years and SA had won it a few times but not for five or six years or so. According to Mike, SA has made a habit of “beating the

Victorians often but having real trouble getting over NSW”. This time however, our state had one of its most convincing wins ever in the event, including a crushing victory over NSW. Mike is back home now

and is accepting nominations for the second stage of the 2009-10 Riverland Junior Grand Slam competition to be played at Loxton on December 16 and 17. Telephone Mike on 0419 030 566 to enter.

Popular new sport attracts all age groups ■ COME AND TRY: A come and try day for lifeball will be held at Renmark this month, introducing the new sport suitable for all ages and fitness levels to the Riverland. Photo: SUPPLIED ■ A NEW activity aimed at all age groups and people of all fitness levels and abilities is coming to South Australia. A come and try day for lifeball is to be held at the Renmark Recreation Centre on Friday, November 27, from 9am to noon. These state first sessions are only being held at Renmark and Blackwood but according to local organiser Megan Peterson, the success of the sport in other states suggests it will expand throughout other areas. A Riverland ‘Road Show’ and introduction to schools is on Megan’s radar. Megan, a well known Renmark netballer and basketballer, is particularly interested in health and fitness and is studying in that industry. She took an interest in lifeball after it grabbed her attention in an email she received in her current position as a group fitness instructor at the Renmark Recreation

Centre. Lifeball is a court game played between teams of six placed in attack, midfield and defence and aiming to score goals. The hows, whens and whys of the game, I would not have a clue about but that will all be revealed at the come and try session, when the rules are outlined. Developed in NSW, the game is played at walking pace – absolute bewdy that - as I am told teams can include everyone from grandparents to grandchildren, so against my competitive lot, I have at least a chance of winning something. Lifeball was designed to aid increased activity, better balance and co-ordination and has proven particularly popular amongst the 40 to 50 years age group. Megan explains that the game does not normally involve designated teams so that individuals can just roll up and play.

This could be particularly beneficial to anyone travelling interstate, say to the east coast, where it is extremely popular, as when you register for lifeball, you are supplied with a list of every venue where it is played. While there are not ongoing ‘teams’ as such, there are often ‘age groups’ so that participants feel comfortable in the environment. The size of the court can vary but netball and basketball areas are the norm. So unless the rules that are yet to be divulged contain some quicksand, this walking pace game, on a small arena, sounds the goods for fun, fitness and families. Come and try it at the Renmark Recreation Centre, Friday, November 27, or if you want some additional information, ring Megan Peterson on 0437 525 149.

Shift away from association as bowls club looks to attract players

Independent bowls on a roll in Morgan ■ GUN: Craig Wooldridge during his final playing days in 2008.

Wooldridge returns as coach of Panthers ■ From Page 56 “After the first two years, I now know what I need to do better. “I know what I want this time around.” Another change Wooldridge will face is a new direction regarding recruiting. Loxton North will, for the first time in many years, have paid travelling players. Wooldridge emphasised that the club will be treading carefully in these new waters. “There’s time and places that as a club, you need to head down that direction and this year we need to get one or two players,” Wooldridge said. “It may only be for this year because if we can get these young kids back on track, we may not need them any more.” Wooldridge said other areas the club would be focusing on will be fitness and a game plan that will be operating in both A grade and senior colts grades. Club president Linton Proud welcomed Wooldridge’s appointment. “I think he’s looking forward to the challenge,” Mr Proud said. “He would do things differently than what he did last time. “I think that’s why he wants to coach again, to prove to himself that he’s more than capable.” The club will hold its first training session on Friday, December 11, with pre-season officially starting on January 27. Meantime, Loxton is the only RFL club yet to name a coach for 2010. An announcement is expected from the Tigers in coming weeks.

■ BOLD: The Morgan Bowling Club has bravely stepped out on its own in an attempt to form an independent competition, while (right) club secretary Sue Sutherland is calling the move a ‘membership drive’. By BRAD PERRY THE Morgan Bowling Club has begun a new venture this season, pulling out of the Mid Murray pennants league and forming its own competition. The club, which is part of the Mid Murray Association, has branched off in a bid to attract new members, starting its own competition earlier this year. Secretary Sue Sutherland said a lack of numbers along with association playing conditions were the main reasons behind the club forming its own league. “I suppose it is an issue with a lot of clubs at the moment with the lack of numbers,” she said. “We thought we would pull

out this year and form our own association...just for this year to see how it goes. “It is sort of a membership drive.” The club has not shut the door completely on the Mid Murray Bowling Association, still competing in tournaments such as the association championship games. The club also remains associated with South Australian Bowls. “We have left the door open with the association and if it doesn’t work, we can go back to playing pennants next year,” Mrs Sutherland said. “If we can get some new members it will be (a) successful

(venture).” The flexibility of playing times and dates in the club’s own league has already seen a number of new players come out for a roll on the green. “We don’t have to wear whites on Thursdays because it is an extra expense,” Mrs Sutherland said. “All they need is flat shoes to play.” Competitions are sorted by each player picking a position out of a barrel, dividing into teams and earning points for winning. With both the women’s and men’s teams struggling for numbers over the years, the new competition is mixed gender. “It is just as competitive,” Mrs

Sutherland said. “We are all pretty positive.” With many other regional bowling clubs struggling for numbers, Mrs Sutherland said forming their own competitions could be an option for other areas. “I don’t think it would hurt for the other towns to do it too,” she said.

R-Series wins in SUV race for fuel efficiency

MOTORING Modified Scene with Graham Matthews

OT on the heels of its Wheels magazine triumph, where the Santa Fe SX CRDi was recognised as the best medium SUV ownership proposition in Australia, the new Hyundai Santa Fe R diesel has outperformed the competition to claim the SUV class of the transcontinental Global Green Challenge. Achieving an outstanding fuel consumption of 5.1L/100 kilometres during a north-south traverse of the country, the latest Santa Fe beat its impressive official government-specified ‘combined cycle’ fuel consumption by a staggering 23.9

smarter driving and making the right choice of vehicle can make a real difference to ordinary Australians – both economically and environmentally,” The new Hyundai Santa Fe R 2.2-litre diesel produces 145 kilowatts of peak power and up to 436 Newton-metres of torque (421 Newton-metres on manual), seats seven as standard and features the highest safety standards in independent ANCAP tests – five stars for occupant protection. Two years ago, the Hyundai i30 CRDi returned an astonishing 3.2L/100km over the same journey as part of the World Solar Challenge event.

The winning vehicle was driven by former Australian rally champion Ed Ordynski and motoring commentator John Cadogan. “This is a practical, versatile and rugged vehicle with serious off-road capability and seven seats,” Cadogan said. “Yet with a combination of the latest technology and conservative driving techniques, we achieved the equivalent of 56 miles per gallon – a result that would have been unheard of just a decade ago. “Competition in the category was extremely close.

The Challenge includes two demanding urban loops and covers a total distance of 3147 kilometres. For real world relevance, competing vehicles are required to meet strict average speed protocols on the highway.

CARS IN THE NEWS

ON THE ROAD

Study: Self-harmers increased crash risk DRIVERS who engaged in self-harm were at increased risk of motor vehicle crashes, even after controlling for psychological distress and substance abuse, found a study of 18,871 Australian drivers, according to Science Daily. Newly licensed drivers aged 17 to 24 in New South Wales who participated in the study, conducted by The George Institute for International Health, were asked to report if they had engaged in self-harm in the year before the survey. A total of 1544 (8.2 per cent) answered yes to the question, which fell to 871 (4.6 per cent) for true self-harm when asked what they did.

Of the 4.6 per cent of drivers who engaged in true self-harm - cutting and burning, poisoning, self-battering, road-related harm, risk-taking and attempted suicide - 58.7 per cent were female and 41.3 per cent were male.

multiplied by two, 10, and even hundreds for fleet owners â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and many of their drivers will save even more by covering far greater distances,â&#x20AC;? Mr Evans said.

Hybrid a fuel saver

A PORT Melbourne couple faces charges after police caught them drink-driving three times - in the same street - in as many hours early Saturday morning, The Age reports. Police first stopped the married couple on Montague Street, about 12.20am. The driver, a man, 37, failed a breath test, returning a reading of .129. At the time, police believed the manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, 27, was also drunk and warned her not to drive. Then, about an hour later, the pair were pulled over again and the woman was driving. She returned a reading

THE upcoming Australian made Toyota Camry Hybrid will save approximately 1100 litres of fuel in a year of city driving compared to locally made six-cylinder rivals, caradvice.com.au reports.

least 1100 litres or $1329 a year, based on pump price of $1.20 a litre of regular unleaded petrol. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those savings will be

of .112. Finally, about 3.05am and again on Montague Street, the pair were nabbed once more.

KIA enters the US KIAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S new auto assembly plant in western Georgia, United States, is bringing pockets of prosperity to communities across Alabama, particularly an eastern swathe of the state that has faced heavy job losses tied to the fading textile industry. The Birmingham News reports the Korean automaker, which officially kicks off production at its first US plant on Monday, is responsible for creating more than 3600 jobs at new and expanding auto suppliers in Alabama. Hundreds of state residents also are expected to work at the Kia factory itself. The largest chunk of the supplier positions - about 900 - is slated for Chambers County, where thousands used to work in an industry fueled by West Point-Pepperellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s massive operations. Now, those jobs are gone, and some say Kia came along at exactly the right time.

â&#x2013; CANNED: The South Australian Government is looking to ban the smaller â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;monkey bikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; given their unsuitability for local roads. THE South Australian Government plans to let police confiscate and crush scaled-down motorcycles known as monkey bikes, ABC News reports. It is already illegal to ride the bikes on public roads. Attorney-General Michael Atkinson says the proposed change would allow police to treat monkey bike riders in a similar way to hoon drivers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unlike motor vehicles there is no possibility of monkey bikes having a resale value and we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want them back on our roads in any event, whereas a hoon driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vehicle may be a perfectly acceptable vehicle in the hands of a responsible motorist,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Riverland racing talent on fire in Formula Ford Y

OU may recall the successful debut of Roger I’Anson behind the wheel of a Formula 3 race car in Queensland and Sydney a few months back. Last weekend he proved this was not just good luck when he competed in the final round of the SA Formula Ford Duratec series, winning one race and finishing second and third in the other two, which resulted in enough points to take out the championship overall. There are four rounds in the series, all raced at Mallala Motorsport Park and Roger won each of the first three rounds, going into the final round with a handy lead in the points tally. Also of interest was the fact that this last round was held in extremely hot conditions, so an extra radiator was fitted to the car to ensure the motor would run cooler and efficiently. This meant the car weighed heavier, whereas in the earlier rounds, this was not necessary, so it was removed to save on weight. During the year, Roger lowered the qualifying lap record and also reset his own racing lap record, which are also real achievements on their own, when competing against the big fully funded and sponsored teams. So after finishing second

model of 1967 right through to the current FG model. Russell said there were two other awards on the day, Entrants’ Choice, that went to an XB Coupe, and Best Associate, awarded to an ex South African GT.

Sunset Strip

■ RISING STAR: Roger I’Anson at full speed in his championship winning Formula Ford. in the championship and receiving Rookie of the Year in 2008, Roger has taken the next step and made it to the top. As the 2009 season comes to a close, I’m sure he

would like to thank his parents, sponsors and all those in the crew who helped in any way during the year and I for one will be watching with interest to see where 2010 takes Roger I’Anson, a

Qualifying will be run from 1pm to 5pm, then eliminations and full on racing from 6pm onwards. So far there are over 100 entries and I know there are a number of Riverlanders entered to race, so if you want a great day out, get over to Mildura and support our locals. Entry for adults is $15 and kids under 16 are free. Other rounds in the Tri Series will be held in Naracoorte (Coonawarra) and Whyalla (Steel City). Great racing is always a feature.

WAY UP FOR NORTH By ROB McLEAN

CLUB legend Craig Wooldridge has been appointed Loxton North Football Club’s coach for season 2010. Wooldridge will be officially introduced as coach of the club at tonight’s annual meeting. Following on from a disappointing 2009 season, Wooldridge is keen to see his club gain back the respect of the competition. “Games where we got belted by more than 15 goals cannot happen again,” the new coach said. “We need to get away from that, even if we only win three or four games during the year, we do not want to get belted by those sort of

margins again.” It will be the second time at the helm for Wooldridge, this time replacing fellow Riverland Football League Champions of the Century team member Mac Grummet at the helm. A five time premiership player with the Panthers, Wooldridge coached the club in 2001-02 following in the footsteps of the much respected David Crutchfield. The Panthers failed to make the finals in 2002, ending Wooldridge’s tenure as playing coach. “It’s going to be a lot easier not playing,” Wooldridge said.
