IT WAS a case of double delight for Loxton High School students Desiree Davis and Brett Harris when they got their year 12 results along with the rest of the region’s students yesterday morning. The close friends scored 97.75 for their results, finishing with the highest marks of any Riverland students. While Desiree planned to celebrate her results success by seeing hit movie New Moon at the Chaffey Theatre last night, Brett spent yesterday working in the heat at Angas Park’s Loxton North cutting shed.

REPORT BY

ROB McLEAN Although very happy with her own results, Desiree said she was even more delighted to be sharing the momentous occasion with her friend. “There’s no-one else I would want to share this with,� she said. While she knew she had given

year 12 everything she had, Desiree was not expecting such strong results. “I tried my absolutely very best and know that there’s nothing more that I could have done,� she said. “I wasn’t expecting quite a high score. “I’m just stoked that hard work does pay off.� Brett was also very happy with his score, although he never expected such a high result. “It’s a huge shock,� Brett said.

THE feature article that appeared in The Washington Post highlighting the environmental struggles facing our embattled irrigators provided an interesting perspective on the water crisis. While we are all used to our plight garnering media attention from outside the region, it is very rare to see such interest from international media. It is also rare to see our battles portrayed in a national context, devoid of the local politics that clog up any debate about water use. The Washington Post paints a picture of honest battlers, toiling against the elements, which is how we love to see Aussies portrayed, and of a Federal Government that has been quick to act, setting aside major funding for river rejuvenation. Cynically, many of us Riverlanders are still wondering just what those measures are going to entail and when that funding is going to be put into action. Sadly, what the article also points out is that the river towns of the Murray Darling Basin face a bleak future, due to a changing climate. As a community, we are going to have to work hard to ensure it is our region which survives.

High hopes for Mary’s sainthood REPORT BY

BRAD PERRY RIVERLAND Catholics are preparing to rejoice the long awaited news that Mary MacKillop is Australia’s first saint, a century since her death. The decision will end decades of lobbying for the canonisation of Mary, who was well known for dedicating her time to educating less fortunate children and co-founding the Sisters of St Joseph. Renmark’s St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School principal Anna DeGuglielmo said the decision to grant Mary sainthood is welcomed by the school. “The schools are probably waiting with bated breath to ensure this person gets to be known as a saint,� she said. “Without her (Mary) and Father Tenison these schools wouldn’t exist. “She had such a love of children and love of God that made her a very special person.� With the Vatican predicted to decree Mary’s second miracle in the coming days, Ms DeGuglielmo said it will be a joyous occasion this Christmas. While the school is currently on holidays, Ms DeGuglielmo said if the announcement was made, the children would join in celebrations when they arrive for the new education year. Mary’s legacy still lives on today, not only through the millions of Catholics in Australia, but in the hearts of the children who attend St Joseph’s schools. “They all learn about her and

The history behind our Aussie saint BORN in Fitzroy, Victoria in 1842, Mary MacKillop was the eldest of eight children and supported her family from an early age as a teacher, when her father fell ill. At 16, Mary met Father Julian Tenison Woods, who taught religious education to children in the outback and his efforts inspired her to open the first St Joseph’s School in a stable in Penola. A group of young women know who she is and what she was like,� Ms DeGuglielmo said. “(Her charisma) was a part of her life that makes her very human and Aussie. “It is important (for Mary

helped Mary to educate children and joined to form the Sisters of St Joseph. Always willing to forgive those who did not believe in what she did, Mary opened orphanages, providences to care for the homeless and refugee camps for prisoners and prostitutes wanting to change for the better. Mary died in North Sydney on August 8, 1909, after suffering ill health, and her tomb was enshrined. to become a saint) because of the fact her qualities of compassion and respect to others will be known around the world.� With a laneway behind the school already named after the

The Renmark school, which recently celebrated 90 years since its opening in 1919, was the region’s first Catholic school and reflects and promotes the ideals of Mary MacKillop. The Sisters of St Joseph also started a school at Barmera, which still operates today.

Tourism industry receives substantial funding By BRAD PERRY THE Riverland has benefited from $200,000 in the latest round of the Federal Government’s TQUAL tourism funding. Ruston’s Rose Garden in Renmark will use its $100,000 funding to expand the David Ruston Rose Centre with a con-

ference and function centre, while the Pike River Woolshed at Lyrup gained $100,000 to build a conference centre and three luxury villas. Riverland Tourism Association regional manager Paula Bennet said it was great to see the region benefit from the funding. “From a Riverland tourism

perspective, we are really excited to see so many successful applicants,� she said. “Interestingly, if you have a look at the whole lot of South Australian recipients, they are looking at the river.� Ms Bennet said both tourist attractions were extremely happy to receive the opportunity to construct facilities via

the funding. “They were fighting a really competitive battle for funding,� she said. The Riverland received $200,000 of the $711,360 TQUAL funding allocated to the state. New South Wales was the big winner of the tourism money, with 19 areas receiving millions of dollars in funding.

New Riverland health director appointed By LES PEARSON THE future of the Riverland Health Service has been put back on track with the appointment of temporary director Tom Neilson. Mr Neilson joined the service following Geoff Illman’s departure at the end of November. In an emailed statement, Country Health SA chief executive George Beltchev said he was pleased to announce Mr Neilson’s appointment. “Tom has a long and distinguished career in rural South Australia and I am extremely pleased that he has agreed to fill the vacancy until a long-term replacement can be found,� he said. Mr Nielson will maintain his other health service positions while working in the Riverland. “Whilst acting as director of the Riverland Health Service, Tom will retain his role overseeing early childhood services and elective surgery strategy for Country Health SA,� Mr Beltchev said. Mr Beltchev also conveyed his appreciation to Mr Illman for his service over an extended period. “On behalf of Country Health SA, I thank Geoff Illman for his many years of service and wish him well for his future endeavours,� he said.

Local drought prayer meeting

Bev Renmark’s top citizen By ROB McLEAN COMMUNITY volunteer Bev Gartery has been named Renmark Paringa Council’s Citizen of the Year. Mrs Gartery has had a long association with the region, starting her community service when she was appointed a prefect and house captain at Renmark High School. During the 1956 flood, Mrs Gartery patrolled flood banks and filled sand bags. Her community service has carried on through to today. Typically Mrs Gartery felt overwhelmed to be told the news of her award win. “I get so much pleasure and fulfilment out of all I do, I don’t expect accolades or anything, I just enjoy doing what I do,� she said. Among her many other duties, Mrs Gartery has been involved with Meals on Wheels for 30 years and is a welfare officer with that organisation, visiting clients in their home to assess dietary and other requirements. Mrs Gartery is also a carer for a local woman. “I love doing things for people and caring for Lorraine, she has really become part of the family,� she said. And while Mrs Gartery may be getting on in life, she has no intentions of letting time take its toll. “I’m not ready to slow down, I think I’m feeling fine,� she laughed. Meantime, the Renmark

A PRAYER meeting will be held this weekend for Riverland people concerned about rural industries, commercial businesses and our community wellbeing. The meeting will be held at the Loxton Oval this Sunday at 2pm.

High School Young Vinnies Group has been named the Junior Citizens of the Year, while the Event of the Year is the Renmark Rose Week Institute Display. The awards will be presented at the Renmark Paringa Council Australia Day celebrations next month.

■From Page 1 “It still hasn’t sunk in, it’s really amazing.� Along with Desiree, Brett paid tribute to his school. “I think the teachers and staff should be highly commended at Loxton High School, it really is an awesome school to be at.� For both students, further studies beckon with Brett hoping to obtain entry into a veterinary science degree, while Desiree

is looking to pursue a career in meteorology. Loxton High School principal Kent Spangenberg said his students could be very proud of their efforts over the year. He said 27 students finished with 80 or above, while 13 were above 95. Hamish Moore, Kieran Langford, Josiah Saunders, Natalie Durdin and Emma Hamilton all scored above 95.

School’s top student was Trephina Gartley who scored 97.4, while Thomason Sobey finished with 95.9. The school was also very proud of the results of three Afghani students who completed their SACE with flying colours. At Renmark, the top student was Rohan Vardaro (90.35), while Jarrad Rogers and Nathan Rosenweig also performed well. Principal Paul Wilton said the school had an

overall 85 per cent pass rate across all subjects completed, while in a significant achievement, six out of seven students who studied French in year 12 achieved an A. “We also wish to congratulate our two indigenous students who completed their SACE,� Mr Wilton said. Glossop High School’s top student was Michaela Johnson, who finished with 96.15.

Storms leave big damage bill By BRAD PERRY RECENT storms, which were described as some of the worst ever seen in the Riverland, have left carnage in their wake with insurance brokers flooded with calls for tens of thousands of dollars in claims in the weeks following the wild weather. Widespread damage was visible throughout the region after severe thunderstorms hit the region late last month and despite the storms passing relatively quickly, the region continues to clean up the mess. Loxton MGA insurance broker Matthew Hutchinson said up to 40 major claims have been made so far, with more expected to come. “We have had plenty... there have been quite a few different sized losses,� he said. Mr Hutchinson said it is hard to put a financial figure on the damage so far but estimates a number of cases are around $20,000. “A couple of our larger ones are still being assessed as far as the building work,� he said. “There were a number of sheds blown over.� A Waikerie based broker, who did not wish to be named, said he had received hundreds of thousands of dollars in property damage claims resulting from the storms. “We did end up with quite a few claims, which

■REPAIRS: Colin Menz (right) of Menzy’s Maintenance reported a number of enquiries regarding insurance jobs for fences damaged in recent storms. is understandable considering the severity of the storms,� he said. “It did hit the area in a very big way.� The broker said claims are ranging from $1000 to $25,000 and he praised the region for staying resilient in such adversity. “We seem to get over one hurdle and get hit by another,� he said. “It just adds to everybody’s living expenses.� During the storms it was reported that a building in Winkie had its roof blown off, while a building wall collapsed at Loveday, a tree fell on a Ramco house and several sheds also suf-

fered the fate of falling branches. Emergency services worked overtime to respond to thousands of calls, while more than 5000 people lost power to their homes. Colin Menz, of Menzy’s Maintenance, said he has had many enquiries regarding insurance quotes for damaged fences, which struggled to stay fastened to the ground in 90 kilometre per hour winds. “A couple of the fences are two metres high, so they caught the wind,� he said. Trevor Faehrmann, of Kotaj Builders, said the

heavy rain caused a number of leaks in ceilings. “We had calls about overflowing gutters because they were all blocked and a lot of water was coming inside homes,� he said. Other builders reported the rushing winds ripped off roofing tiles and sheets, while pergolas and shade cloths also suffered. Meantime, footage of the storms that hit the Riverland has surfaced on YouTube. A weather guru chased the storms and the videos can be seen at the site by typing in the key words “Riverland storm�.

Water allocations remain at 48% By BRAD PERRY RIVERLAND irrigators are preparing for a long summer as the heat kicks in and water availability dwindles, following Tuesday’s announcement that water allocations will remain at 48 per cent. Newly appointed chairman of the South Australian Murray Irrigators Caren Martin believes an unlikely event of big summer rains is the only way allocations will rise from the current status. “It’s just another month of further uncertainty for irrigators,� she said.

Insufficient inflows prompted the State Government’s decision to leave allocations at the same level as the last announcement. “Hot and dry conditions in the first half of November dried out many of the key run-off areas across the catchment,� River Murray Minister Karlene Maywald said. “As a result, the River Murray system inflow for November was 250 gigalitres, well below the longterm average November inflow of 765 gigalitres. “From this inflow, South Australia has received 20 gigalitres, which has been allocated to the Lower

Lakes in accordance with the decision-making framework.� Mrs Martin, whose husband operates a 134 hectare almond orchard near Paringa, said irrigators are often forgotten. “From an irrigator’s point of view, they probably feel overlooked again,� she said. Water allocated to the state this water year has seen 275 gigalitres (74 per cent) to irrigators, 30 GL (eight per cent) to critical human needs reserve 2010/11, 10 GL (three per cent) to critical environmental needs reserve and 54 GL (15 per cent) to the Lower Lakes environmental reserve.

American coverage for Murray By ROB McLEAN THE plight of Swan Reach and the river below Lock One has been featured in a major United States newspaper. Washington Post reporter Blaine Harden visited the region with photographer Linda Davidson to discuss the drought and climate change. Harden’s sub title proclaims that despite a “record drought, Australian farmers refuse to buy into climate change�. Swan Reach locals Hermann Markovsky and Grant and Denise Grieger were featured in the major article, which appeared in both the print and on-line versions of the Post. Mr Markovsky, a citrus grower, was quoted as saying “we’re finished�. Meanwhile, Mr Grieger said he was opposed to taking government money to leave the land. “I think we are coming to the end of a 10-year cycle of drought,� he said.

Solid pre-Christmas sales have trading groups thinking positive

Local businesses secure Christmas buck By LES PEARSON DESPITE the tough economic climate, trading groups are reporting solid pre-Christmas sales, although figures are down on previous years in some cases. Berri and District Business Association president Donna Langford said the town is bustling at the moment. “The streets are definitely busy with plenty of cars and people around,� she said. “Trading for us has been rolling along reasonably well. “Given the economic times, they have not impacted as greatly on our figures as I was expecting.� She said local businesses are putting in an extra effort to provide an excellent array of choice and variety, while campaigns to get locals to spend in the region this Christmas are also having an impact. “The promotions done in the (local media) have definitely made people stop and think about shopping locally this year,� Mrs Langford said. “Personally, I’ll be doing my Christmas shopping locally.� Loxton Chamber of Commerce president Bronwyn Proud said locals are getting the message. “We’re right in the busy period now with some very busy days and

■BUSY: Riverland Plaza Newsagency manager Drew Nelsson serves customer Sonia Bartsch during the busy Christmas trading period and (left) the Christmas Dollar Man campaign has again been encouraging people to buy locally. so far we’ve had a very good response from locals,� she said. With longer and busier trading times, business owners could be forgiven for looking at the festive season with mild fear but Mrs Proud said this is not the case. “I think the Christmas period is a lovely time,� she said. “It’s very festive and we really get into the spirit of it all.� She said local, friendly service

has a strong reputation, drawing in shopping dollars. “There are lots of good shops here in Loxton and I think people appreciate that,� Mrs Proud said. Renmark Paringa Traders chairman Dave Patty said with one week left until Christmas, shop owners are gearing up. “We’re all raring to go,� he said. He said while the economic situation will not allow for exceptional

sales levels, people have absorbed the message of buying local. “If locals spend here, it will keep stores open and more people employed again,� he said. It is a message all business groups are underlining with the buying season nearing the last minute frenzy. “We’re confident it’s going to come good again at some stage,� Mr Patty said.

Gum the new Mallee mayor By LES PEARSON

Four things you might not know about George Gum:

SOUTHERN Mallee Council will enter 2010 with a new mayor, George Gum. Mayor Gum has about 10 years experience on council and takes on the new 12 month role with enthusiasm. He said living out of town on the farm has its advantages, which he will be looking to utilise in his mayoral term. “We all visit and use the facilities in our towns, so living out of town as far as we do gives me the opportunity to inspect a large part of our district and infrastructure on either social or business trips,� he said. “I have never considered driving a hindrance to (my) life.� Living and working on the land, Mayor Gum now faces what appears to be an uphill battle juggling both the mayoral responsibilities and the demands on the

He must now turn his atten-

Suspended sentence for sex offender A LOXTON man charged with sex offences involving a teenaged girl has received a suspended sentence. The man pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful sexual intercourse over an incident involving digital sex with a 14 year old girl. He received a three-year sentence and 15-month non-parole period on condition of a three year, $2000 good behaviour bond. The man was sentenced in the Adelaide District Court on Friday.

tion to 2010, with goals already set in place. “Short term, we’re going to try and get meeting procedures correct,� Mayor Gum said. “Longer term is to ensure our assets and facilities do not deteriorate but to keep continually trying to improve,� Mayor Gum said. While experienced as a councillor, the mayoral robes have different responsibilities attached, presenting a whole new range of challenges to overcome but Mayor Gum is undaunted about the year ahead. “I have got a lot of experienced councillors on council and have already called on some of that knowledge and will continue to do so,� he said. “I will also utilise all councillors in their role as elected members to all contribute and add to the running of a successful Southern Mallee Council.�

Missing man found A 39 year old Renmark man, who had been reported as a missing person, was found by police on Monday following a search. Police were concerned about the safety of David Johnson after his vehicle had been found on the side of the Sturt Highway, about 20 kilometres west of Blanchetown on Sunday. Prior to that, Mr Johnson had last been seen leaving for work in the early hours of Saturday morning. The search for Mr Johnson finished on Monday.

â– NEW: Newly appointed Southern Mallee Council Mayor George Gum is looking forward to running a successful local government body.

Stay safe on the road this holiday season with these tips WHILE it is true that engines get steadily better at using fuel, MTA members are often asked for advice about what motorists can do to get better fuel economy from their vehicles. The answer is simple: preventative maintenance and good driving habits and keep your vehicle in good shape. Here are a few tips from Riverland experts in the motor trade industry to help you get the best from your car this summer holiday season. • Preventative maintenance – keep your car in good shape. • Get engine problems (hard starts, rough idling, stalling and diminished power) corrected at a

reliable repair shop. MTA members can be found throughout the Riverland. Tuning your engine according to your owner’s manual can increase fuel efficiency. • Change your oil and oil filter as specified in the manual. Change your oil and use only the manufacturer’s recommended grade of motor oil. • Check and replace air filters regularly. Not only will replacing a dirty air filter save fuel, it will protect your engine. • Battery – the only accurate way to detect a weak battery is with professional equipment. • Lights - inspect all lights and bulbs, periodically clean off road grime.

• Exhaust – your vehicle should be placed on a lift and the exhaust system examined for leaks – exhaust fumes can be deadly. • Keep your tyres properly inflated and aligned. Properly inflated tyres are safer and last longer. • Drive more efficiently. • Drive sensibly and stay within posted speed limits. • Stop aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration and braking) – you could save more than just money. • Avoid unnecessary idling. It wastes fuel, costs you money and pollutes the air. Turn off the engine if you

anticipate a long wait. • Combine errands. Several short trips taken from a cold start can use twice as much fuel as one trip covering the same distance when the engine is warm. • Remove excess weight and avoid keeping unnecessary items in your vehicle. • Avoid packing items on top of your car. A loaded roof rack or carrier creates wind resistance which can decrease fuel economy. • Use cruise control on the open road to maintain a constant speed. • Use overdrive gears to reduce engine speed. In most cases this saves fuel and reduces engine

wear. Good driving habits conserve precious resources. Almost all cars and trucks run on fuels derived from oil. Oil is a non-renewable resource and while there is some debate as to how long this resource will last, we will eventually have to find new ways to power highway vehicles. Until other alternatives are developed, it makes sense to use fossil resources such as oil more efficiently to buy time to develop new and better energy sources and to make the transition to these sources smoother and less expensive.

Christmas giving FOR me and my family, Christmas is a time to stop and reflect on the year that’s been; it’s a time to be thankful and to celebrate; and, perhaps most importantly, it’s a time for goodwill, compassion and kindness. In the hectic weeks that lead up to December 25, we often forget that for thousands of families across the world every day is a struggle, and the things we take for granted, such as food, shelter, health, education and economic stability, seem completely

unattainable. So this year, I ask that Riverland and Mallee families make this Christmas a meaningful one, by considering charitable gifts for friends and loved ones. Gifts from the World Vision Smiles online catalogue represent the kind of activities World Vision will undertake in disadvantaged communities. Donations support programs in agriculture and environment, health, water and sanitation, education and vocational training, emergency relief, or the protecting of children and Indigenous Australia. Thank you and Merry Christmas. Tim Costello, Chief Executive, World Vision, Australia.

THE poor condition of the Morgan riverfront playground is causing passing tourists to think twice about stopping to use the equipment, according to one concerned local. Theresa Jaeger, who has a two year old child, said the playground is an “eye sore�. “Our riverfront currently is letting us down in achieving a safe area for families to go on holidays,� she said. “I am concerned not only for my child’s safety but that of others in the community and the many families that travel through Morgan everyday.� One of Mrs Jaeger’s main concerns is the lack

Gordon puts on the brakes A 56 year relationship with the South Australian Education Department has come to an end with Gordon Sharp completing his last Lyrup bus run at the conclusion of the school year. Gordon was principal at the Lyrup Primary School for 22 years but has since been working as a temporary relief teacher and continued driving the bus. Starting out as a young teacher fresh out of university, his first chance to cut his teeth in the classroom was at Leigh Creek in 1958. Only 12 months later, he moved on to a two year tenure on Kangaroo Island. As an avid soccer player, the island offered little in the form of the round ball game, so the switch to the Aussie rules code was made. Like other young teachers on KI, Gordon had a bus run and lived in a caravan outside the home of some local residents and while that doesn’t sound too comfortable, he believes he made the best of it. “It was good fun, we enjoyed it,� he said. “You’re on your own to a degree, so it really taught us to be independent.� A move to the Mallee beckoned in 1961, with Gordon taking a position at Pinnaroo. “It’s a good place,� he said. “I was still young, so I really enjoyed the amount of sports they had there.� It was in the Mallee where he

REPORT BY

LES PEARSON met wife Fay. After teaching her in 1961, the couple married seven years later. They have since celebrated their 42nd wedding anniversary and “are still keenly together,� Gordon said. Following a year long stint at Tailem Bend, which included six months as acting principal, the outback beckoned and took the couple out to Kingoonya. “It’s still wonderful there,� Gordon said. “It was full on there, the whole time. “There was always something to do.� A keen cricketer, Gordon played at Woomera, 160 kilometres away. “I used to get paid to play, $5 a game,� Gordon grinned. “That was mainly to cover the cost of fuel though.� One of Gordon’s fondest memories while in the outback was an exhibition match he played between Woomera and Coober Pedy. Fronting up for Coober Pedy was cricketing great Greg Chappell, while spin whiz Terry Jenner lined up for Woomera. The sheer isolation of the area did limit entertainment options, although he did enjoy a

Riverland connection. “There was no power where we were staying, so no TV,� Gordon said. “You could get 5RM with Charlie Gardiner’s sports show on a Saturday night if you pointed the car the right way, so that’s what I would do.� With Fay wanting to move closer to her parents in the Mallee, the couple left Kingoonya after three years and headed to the Riverland. “I asked for Lyrup and got Lyrup so that’s where we settled down,� Gordon said. He became the principal there and held the position for 22 years. Then the bus run became part of the couple’s daily routine and it has been since. Gordon still speaks fondly of the school. “The family support there was really good,� he said. “It was a bustling place. “We enjoyed it there and enjoyed the area. “Who doesn’t enjoy the Riverland? “We’ll never shift, even now.� Now, Gordon and Fay are entering a new phase in their life. “It will be interesting; I think I will miss it,� he said. “I’m keen on taking the caravan and boat and do a bit of fishing and travel. “I don’t care where we go, we’ll go anywhere. “I just want to hop in and head out.�

THE photography of Loveday man Barry Phillips is continuing to attract attention. Barry’s photograph, of Lake Bonney, taken at Barmera’s Apex Park, features in Channel 10’s 2010 weather calendar. An amateur photographer, Barry is flattered that his photograph, one of three he sent into Channel 10, featured with all of the others in the calendar. “I have been an avid photographer all my life and am very happy to see a Riverland photo included in this year’s edition,” Barry said. However, he said the most important thing is that the calendar raises valuable funds for Variety SA. The calendar, for sale at $5.95, can be purchased in the Riverland at Laubman & Pank, Berri, or by contacting Barry (8588 1393).

Raising asbestos awareness By BRAD PERRY

■ UNUSUAL: Waikerie citrus grower Mike Arnold with his award winning citrus variety, known as Buddha’s hand, which is popular overseas. Photo: JANE WILSON there are many market opportunities worldwide for the blood orange, including Japan which has more than 700 Italian restaurants. However, Mr Arnold warned growing alternative varieties is a risky venture dependent upon available markets. “There is no point planting the thing and then trying to find a market, you’ve got to look around and see if you can get the market,” he

said. Many of the alternative citrus markets in other parts of the world accept all shapes of fruit, something which Mr Arnold believes the Riverland could review. “We have a lot of fruit that goes out and we only pack one, two or three lines,” he said. “They pack everything, even a smaller mandarin will go to Russia or somewhere, they market the fruit, here we just sell it.”

THE Asbestos Victims Association fielded more than 200 enquiries about the deadly mineral fibre in the Riverland during a recent visit to Renmark as part of an awareness campaign. Asbestos Victims Association president Terry Miller said rural people lack information about the dangers of asbestos. “It’s something we’ve lived with for pretty much all of our lives and it can be a shock to realise the damage it can cause,” he said. “We were really excited about the number of people that came to see us. “We’ve still got a lot of work to do to get the message across.” Mr Miller said providing more information about asbestos to Riverlanders is the group’s next goal in a bid to help people stay clear of the material and therefore save lives. “It is not just yourself that can get exposed to asbestos, it is your family and your children and you don’t want these people exposed to it,” he said. Illegal dumping is also a concern in regional areas, with a lack of facilities in many towns to correctly dispose of asbestos. “It (the lack of hazardous waste sites) is a worry, that’s what causes people to dump on the side of the road,” Mr Miller said.

Club tops centenary year with financial rewards By ROB McLEAN

■ BIG YEAR: The Renmark Club topped off its award winning centenary year by annoucing a quarter of a million dollar profit at its recent annual meeting.

THE Renmark Club has had plenty to celebrate in its centenary year, including the announcement of a profit exceeding a quarter of a million dollars at its recent annual meeting. Club president Sam Albanese announced a $271,000 profit, a significant turn around on the previous year’s financial results. “It’s a great turn around from the year before of $270,000 loss, resulting from changes to smoking legislation and the fact the club had just been redeveloped,” Mr Albanese said.

“Changes in administration processes have improved it as well.” Mr Albanese praised the board and staff of the Renmark Club for their efforts over the past year, particularly those of manager Brenton Franks. “The board had a good long look at itself and the business, put some strong budgets in place and the management has worked with that very well,” Mr Albanese said. “Brenton’s a good manager and we’ve got good senior staff, as well as general staff.” The past year has also seen an increase in the number of functions held

at the premises, adding up to a further bonus for the club. “I think people of the Riverland have come and had a look and liked what they’ve seen and keep coming back,” Mr Albanese said. “I’m delighted considering the environment we are in and it’s a bit tight around the place.” The overall financial result has been a vindication of the club’s redevelopment, as well as an appropriate celebration of the club’s centenary, according to Mr Albanese, who will preside over an unchanged board for the next year.

“It makes it that much sweeter,” he said. “It’s an honour to be there and an honour to present such strong numbers to our members.” Meantime, board member Sam Pearce, who was integral in the club’s redevelopment, has been granted the honour of life membership. A builder by trade, Mr Albanese said Mr Pearce’s leadership and contributions during the renovations were vital. “He has been involved with the club for about eight years and is a very, very good board member,” he added.

Ahrens earns young achiever nomination FORMER Loxton High School student Helen Ahrens has been named a nominee in the South Australian Young Achiever Awards. She has been nominated in the leadership and community leadership award sections. A university student, Miss Ahrens has been nominated for her varied contributions, including to Girl Guides, where she represented Australia at the first United Nations Peace Camp in South Korea. The award winners will be announced at a gala presentation dinner in Adelaide in March.

Demand for tonnage estimates WINERIES have been urged to disclose their estimated tonnages for 2010 to give growers an idea of what they will be able to sell this harvest. Commenting on Phylloxera and Grape Industry Board claims of a grape under supply in 2010, Family First MLC Robert Brokenshire said it was time to come clean. “I am even hearing stories that some wineries are not even contracting but telling growers they’ll look at their grapes closer to harvest – this is the kind of predatory practice that got growers very angry in years gone by and saw ridiculously low prices offered at the farm gate,” Mr Brokenshire said. The MLC discussed the issue when he visited the Riverland on Monday.

Con claims Rix award BARMERA man Con Kourtis received a major honour recently when he collected the Amelia Rix Award in a presentation ceremony at Government House in Adelaide. Mr Kourtis was one of five finalists for the award, which is presented annually to clients of Community Bridging Services Jobnet Employment Program for people with a disability. He has been a client of CBS for 11 years and has worked with Coles supermarket, Berri, for 10 years in the dairy section and as a trolley attendant. Mr Kourtis has proved himself to be an enthusiastic member of the Barmera community, involving himself in several community and sporting events, currently acting as assistant coach for the Lakers A grade basketball team. The award was presented by the South Australian Governor Rear Admiral Kevin Scarce. Among those nominated for the award was Renmark man Ben Cavallo.

Fruit fly warning WITH travellers visiting the region in growing numbers over coming weeks, the community has been reminded to be fruit fly friendly. “We are the only mainland state that is fruit fly free, having recorded another season over the last year free of fruit fly outbreaks, but we all need to be vigilant to maintain that record,” State Agriculture Minister Paul Caica said. It is illegal to bring fruit or vegetables into the Riverland.

Gum tree warning

DECEMBER Monday 14 Tuesday 15 Wednesday 16 Thursday 17 Friday 18 Saturday 19 Sunday 20

THE hot weather of recent weeks has prompted the State Emergency Services to issue a warning regarding the dangers of falling trees. SES deputy chief officer Matt Maywald says that as temperatures increase, trees may, without warning, drop their branches. “Commonly, large eucalypts are affected but the problem is not limited to this variety of tree, so people should not be complacent,” Mr Maywald said. The SES advises the following: • Do not park or set up campsites under trees with large overhanging branches. • Do not allow children to climb or play under trees with large overhanging branches. • Stay indoors and away from windows at times when weather conditions are severe. • Motorists should be aware of any fallen trees, branches or debris. • Consult with your local arborist or council for advice and assistance with any specific concerns regarding trees at your property or in your area. • Stay away from fallen powerlines (it should be assumed that fallen powerlines are live - fallen powerlines should be reported to ETSA Utilities on 131 366).

THE Victorian Farmers Federation has backed the South Australian Government’s High Court challenge on Victoria’s four per cent cap on annual water trade. VFF Sunraysia Branch president John Piccirillo said the challenge highlights how Victoria’s one size fits all water regime is in need of reform. “Our branch is in favour of removing the four per cent cap, which puts us at odds with the Victorian government and the VFF itself,” Mr Piccirillo said.

A chance for farming families to relax THE Lameroo Christmas Pageant begins at about 6pm tomorrow night, organisers looking forward to seeing the community unite for the biggest community event of the year. “I think the event provides a bit of a break for farmers to get into town and enjoy the evening as a family,� Lameroo Apex Club secretary Carri Berwick said. The Lameroo pageant will feature a street parade, jumping castle and the Apex train. Food and drinks will also be available, while Christmas carols and a live band will add to the festive atmosphere. One recent addition to the Lameroo event is the selection of different businesses and community groups providing activities for the kids to get involved in throughout the evening. “It’s been very good, the response so far has been fairly reasonable,� Ms Berwick said.

Christmas musical to entertain

Unique dining experience at Mallyons Bush Cafe FROM the garden to your plate, Mallyons on the Murray Bush Cafe, located at Weston Flat, is a unique dining experience that will leave you wanting to come back again and again. Owners Rita and Nick Builder pride themselves on the fresh produce they grow and the evidence is shown in the crunchy fruit and vegetables incorporated on the menu. While the food is spectacular, the cafe, located half way between Taylorville and Morgan, also offers the stunning backdrop of the River Murray. The building is one of the more important properties in the region’s pioneering history, dating back to 1841. Open from 10am until 4pm five days a week, with the exception of Tuesday and Wednesday, Rita cooks

up a delicious storm as you sit back and breath in the history and surroundings. The Builder’s produce is organically certified and Rita has combined all the elements of summer into the current menu. The warm chicken salad being a popular request amongst customers. “I change my menu seasonally but my customers wouldn’t let me take the warm chicken salad off,� Rita said. Served on a bed of fresh organic salad, marinated free range organic chicken is combined with potato salad, crispy bacon and topped with crunchy croutons. However, the cafe is also well known for its dessert, including the famous Weston Flat pancakes. Using duck eggs from Rita’s own fowls, the tantalisingly large pancakes are

served with organic jam and fresh cream. The rest of the summer menu includes seasonal produce such as rhubarb, mulberries, apricots, peaches, nectarines, almonds and walnuts, all grown alongside the cafe. The award winning cafe, which runs on solar power, sells arts and crafts, has a toy room for kids and offers a range of homemade jams and other foods. Surrounded by local art, eating at Mallyons on the Murray is a must do experience in the Riverland and there is nothing better than finishing the meal with a stroll down to the majestic River Murray. Group bookings are available, as well as bookings for special occasions, and Rita encourages everyone to visit one of the region’s little treasures.

Looking at retirement 100 years on By AMP Financial Planner PETER AITCHISON*

T

HE working lives of Australians have changed dramatically over the past 100 years and retirement looks a lot different too. The latest AMP.NATSEM Report, Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow, reveals that a century ago, only half the Australian population lived to retirement age and peoples’ expectations beyond their working life were far more modest than they are today. In fact, in 1909, just four per cent of the population was aged over 65, compared to 2.9 million, or 13.5 per cent, in 2009. Thirty years from now, longer life expectancy could see this figure climb to seven million people (22 per cent of the population) in the same age group, according to the report’s figures. Of the few people early last century who were lucky enough to live until 65, only 28 per cent met the strict means testing and eligibility criteria to receive the age pension. Today 77 per cent of retirees receive the age pension in some form or another. Today, however, thanks to advances in medical technology and research, and people generally taking better care of themselves, on average people can expect to live for another 20 years after the retiring age of 65. Longer life expectancy – something we all wish for – also means that people will need their retirement savings to last longer. Quite simply, many of those people who live beyond their mid 80s are outliving their retirement savings and being forced to rely on government benefits. The age pension has been around for the past 100 years and it is unlikely to

disappear in the future. However, what people need to consider today is whether the age pension will be enough to allow them to lead the lifestyle they want in their retirement years. Financial planners generally estimate that a minimum of 65 per cent of pre-retirement income is a good guide for most people. On this basis, someone who is earning $80,000 a year while they are working will need at least $52,000 a year when they’re retired to maintain their lifestyle. Furthermore, many working Australians dream today of retiring before 65 years of age. The one size fits all approach to retirement certainly is a thing of the past - gone are the days when a person’s only option was to work full-time right up to age 65 and then hang up their work boots. In the past, if a person wanted to ease their way into retirement by working fewer hours, they were faced with the prospect of a reduced income - not a very attractive proposition. Today transitionto-retirement rules give people flexibility when planning their retirement. Before these rules, the only time people could access their super was when they retired or turned 65. Now people can start drawing down on their super fund to boost the income they forego as they scale back their working hours. Importantly, people should seek advice from an accredited financial

planner to find out what strategies are available to them to help them increase their retirement savings and maximise any Centrelink entitlements. When it comes to retirement in the 21st Century, wishful thinking is a poor substitute for planning.

CHARLIE’S SPORTS GOSS WITH GRAHAM CHARLTON

The Riverland’s most authoritative sports commentator ...

Exciting shoot-out at dogs ■THIS may not have been ‘a shoot out at the OK Corale’ but it sure was a shoot out at Saturday’s Riverland greyhound meeting at Barmera. Still in the running for the annual greyhound of the year award at this final meeting for the season, Surf Burn, trained by Cliff Parfrey at Wentworth, and Bright Lass, by Bob Martin at Merbein, were almost script written into the same event, race four over 512 metres. Going into the decider, Bright Lass had three wins, one second and one third on the board for 2009, with Surf Burn on 3,1,0. But it was Surf Burn ($2.50) that stormed home to grab the trophy, beating To Extremes ($4) by a comfortable margin, with Trusty Rusty ($4) finishing third. Favourite Bright Lass finished at the rear of the field. On a day when Lola Montez ($2.30) was the only favourite to be

Greyhounds battle it our for prestigious title at final race meet of the year first to the line, Surf Burn’s success really got things moving for the Parfrey kennels. In race six, they had $3 chance Winnabago win and in the next, the final event, Twilight Pursuit ($2.60) completed a treble. Local trainers Vern Anderson and John Rees served up further notice that there is definitely some promise in amongst the many new dogs on the block in Riverland kennels. For the second consecutive meeting, Anderson produced the winner of a maiden race in a first start situation when Winburn ($2.80) took out the opening event on the card.

In the second maiden, Rees’ slightly more experienced Try Street ’em ($2.40) was first home. The remaining event on a good program, race five, went to Metallic Sunrise ($4) ahead of Kona Bale ($2.60 favourite) and Nangowooka ($4.20). I attended the club’s annual presentation dinner on Saturday night at their splendid clubrooms. And if ever there is an example of an organisation that still today can put on a good show while relying on volunteers, this must surely be a perfect example. The way the various officials go about presenting a race meeting is exemplary but volunteers also make

it similar in the club rooms. No fuss, no bother, it just seems to happen. And the spread? Lucky I am no racing greyhound or else my trial time on Sunday morning would not have been too flash. Also, there seems to be a common thread through these volunteers, some who have been involved for 20 years or more. They seem to simply enjoy what they are doing. Apart from Surf Burn’s award and a number of acknowledgements to some of those volunteers, the major trophy went to Murray Bridge’s Shaun Matcott who won the Trainer of the Year for the sec-

Barmera bowls club delivers massive upset ■WAS this the Riverland’s biggest sporting upset for 2009? In men’s first division bowls last Saturday, Barmera, four rinks to nil, 105-71, defeated Loxton at Loxton. Sure, I know the home side had a half dozen or so of their top players absent but I don’t care – definitely call in the stewards, even if just to look at the margin of the upset.

The rinks saw Dennis Wutke’s four 24-20 victorious over Brian Bullock, Peter ‘where has he been’ Van Enkhuyzen win 31-20 over Vic Pavia, John Morena 20-15 over Graeme Huppatz and Dennis Newton score a 30-16 triumph against Bruce Bald. ‘Enky’ has taken all before him since the Lakesiders introduced him as a skipper. What can be taken out of this

result? Importantly – Loxton will be back no sweat. This was another example of the importance of any club in any sport having its top players available. Loxton suffered right down through the grades as people had to move up to cover the absentees in the ‘firsts’. Barmera? Can this be just the injection of self belief they need?

Remember Renmark RSL’s 2007/08 season when they came from the clouds to seriously threaten for the title after getting on a roll? Talking of Renmark RSL, they apparently got down to John van Der Wyst’s final bowl with a chance of rolling Waikerie on Saturday but succumbed 81-83 in a thriller. In the other game, Berri still loomed large with a 109-68 win over Lyrup.

â– COACH: Berri hockey star Brett Stokes helped the Australian Country team to a bronze medal at the Oceania Pacific Hockey Cup.

Brett leads Australia Country to bronze ■I BEGAN receiving text messages from Fiji just over a week ago containing results from the Oceania Pacific Hockey Cup and it took a day or so for me to recognise the author’s mobile telephone number as belonging to local hockey stalwart Brett Stokes. Brett, of Berri, I recalled had been appointed to a coaching role with the Australian country men’s squad that joined teams like Fiji, New Zealand and Samoa

in the tournament. The Australian men won bronze by defeating the NZ Maori side 5-1 in the decider, while in the women’s section, defending champions Australia had to settle for silver when it went down to NZ Maoris 2-1 in the final. The men’s gold medals also went to a New Zealand team, the Barbarians, when it successfully defended its title with a 4-1 victory against Fiji.

ond season in succession. For him, he had a quiet day on Saturday but still had dogs placed in four of the seven events and in the season overall at Barmera, he produced 24 winners, 20 seconds and 24 thirds. And to the man’s credit, he was again amongst the crowd on Saturday to accept his award, despite his busy schedule in having runners involved far and wide. Another stalwart supporter of the Riverland Club, Cardross’ Norma Millington took home the Owner/Trainer of the Year award. The RGRC will now go into recess over the summer months with the first meeting in 2010 scheduled for Saturday, March 27, when heats of the Riverland Cup will feature. The cup final will be held at the following meeting on Saturday, April 10.

Bowls tournament hailed best best ever by event official ■“IT WAS the best state pairs competition locally since I have been involved� said North Eastern official Ian Kubank on Sunday night after an exciting day of finals at Waikerie. Sectional play the previous weekend at the same venue had produced upset after upset but the finals matches went to yet another level. At the end of a tough day it will be Berri father and son combination Dennis and Craig Treloar who will be off to Grange Bowling Club this weekend to contest the state finals. However, they had a pretty rocky road, defeating in turn Tanunda’s Deon Heidenreich and Graham Fraser 15-13, Waikerie’s Barry Harden and Garry Pursche 11-10 in a semi-final. Then in the final, they needed the increase from 12 to 15 ends to get past Barmera’s John Morena and Renmark RSL’s ‘Dixie’ Lee 18-13 in a score that apparently did not tell the story of the close finish. According to Ian Kubank, if John Morena’s final bowl had sent his target, the kitty, in a slightly different direction, the result would have been reversed. Morena and Lee had also played a titanic semi-final against Phil Ashton and Dennis Wutke (Barmera). Scores were level after 12 ends, nine all, with an extra end necessary before a 12-9 outcome.

Local netballers make state squad â– TWO Barmera juniors, Kate McKinlay and Charlotte Richardson, have been included in a 30 strong SA under 17 netball squad. Also, former Berri player Bodelle Stanley, who is now in Adelaide with Woods Panthers, is amongst 27 named in the state under 19 group. The squads practiced at ETSA Park in Adelaide on Sunday, December 6, and will return for more sessions over the next two months before the final teams are selected for the age group national championships which, this season, are also to be held in Adelaide.

Star show jumper showing promising results ■I AM awarding this piece on champion showjumper Matthew Afford as my ‘most difficult’ article of the year. I first became aware of Matthew’s exploits when I read his nomination for the Waikerie Male Sportsperson of the Year for 2008 and since then have tried unsuccessfully to obtain more information from him personally and his father Kym. I have wondered why and regret missing an opportunity to corner the subject when he attended the 2008-09 Riverland Sportsperson of the Year presentation dinner at the Berri Resort Hotel recently. But perhaps an extract from correspondence from Waikerie Horse and Pony Club secretary Suzie Parsons, that accompanied that 2008 Waikerie nomination, explains why the details have not been forthcoming. “Matthew is a polite, helpful and modest member of our club,� she said. I am also told that his fam-

ily, who are widely involved in showjumping at competition and administrative levels, are “low key, quiet, unassuming types – but real achievers and contributors�. His father Kym, has been a top rider for many years and is on the committee of the Northern Districts Showjumping Club, while his mother Sonia works the horses with them and is the strapper. Also attached to the Waikerie nomination was a letter from Matthew’s employer of the time, Sue Miller, which also describes him as modest and almost secretive about his accomplishments with his horses as he travels to events all over Australia. Sue was glowing in her praise of the work he carried out on her property and explained that even after working long hours, he would still have to go home to work his horses. The family certainly has travelled to compete. Browsing through the Riverland Sports Star nomination, the Af-

fords have been to Mallala, Angaston, Mundulla, Waikerie, Kimba, Crystal Brook, Wentworth, Kadina, Port Augusta, Adelaide, Murray Bridge, Loxton, Mildura, Wistow and Arthurton, amongst others in a season.

Looking at his nomination again, he must have a really big trophy cabinet.

Also working the horses must be a real task as there has been Kaluna Thunderstruck, obviously the jewel in the family’s stables, Master Red, Woolerbilla Tyler, Stretch Limo, PC Centrefold (a friend’s horse) and Rags to Riches mentioned in results. During any breaks in the hectic

Two and two for Murray Districts

competition schedule there is “cutting, baling and carting hay to satisfy appetites that consumed 2000 small bales in 12 months�. And there is also mention of “finishing off the grape harvest� but still having scope “to work overtime to help to get the Waikerie Easter Horse Show under way�. The hard work paid off with record entries. Suzie Parsons, in fact, elaborated by saying Matthew “attends many of our pony club functions, including gymkhanas, shows, working bees and is a valued helper to make sure our Easter Show runs smoothly and profitably. And he does find time to compete. Looking at his nomination for the Riverland award again, he must have a really big trophy cabinet. With Kaluna Thunderstruck mainly in a starring role, the outstanding performances in 200809 appear to include three firsts, three seconds and two fourths at the Royal Adelaide Show, strong

efforts in world qualifying events, six wins in seven events at Murray Bridge, and closer to home, three firsts in strong competitions at the Loxton Show. Matthew is a member of the senior SA showjumping squad and he was certainly a worthy nominee for the major awards at Waikerie 2008 and the Riverland 2008-09. But following a chat with Suzie Parsons after a meeting of her club on Monday night, I now learn there has been a twist to Matthew Afford’s story. Not many people in today’s world are able to find positions of employment in their number one preference as an occupation, but Matthew has. He is now a professional horse rider at Mallala. “He is lost to our club at this stage� said Suzie, “but his dad, our vice president, is still with us helping�. One gets the feeling, though, we will hear a lot more of Matthew Afford, a champion young bloke.

Lifeball proving a hit in the RIverland ■LIFEBALL is up and running and according to organiser Megan Petersen those involved, aged in their early 50s to 92, are “having a ball�. The first come and try day at the Renmark Recreation centre attracted nearly 30 interested people with the session concentrating on learning the

rules of the game and a sample of play. Since then, further sessions have been held at the same venue and last Friday morning, those involved warmed to the task as they became more familiar with the sport and they produced some excellent form. Nine o’clock Friday

morning seems to be a popular time slot and it is not too late to become active in a fast growing sport suitable for all ages and all levels of fitness. It is on again tomorrow at 9am at the Renmark Recreation Centre. Ring Megan (0437 525 149) for further information.

While on the power performance of Fleurieu North, it was no wonder they won the carnival as in a young man, K. Smith, they had a player to remember for the future. Named the outstanding player of the carnival and best wicketkeeper, he scored 19, 152, 165 and 102 (438) runs in four batting sessions. Murray Districts was also amongst the major trophies, with Renmark’s Liam Jackson taking out the fielding award. Glancing through match reports, outstanding individual efforts included Kane

Fleurieu North and South dominated with 59 and 45 points, followed by Eyre Peninsula (43) and then a traffic snarl of South East (36), Upper North, Mid North (34) and Murray Districts (33). After that came Yorke Peninsula (23), Barossa and Light (23) and Barrier (13). The Murray Districts’ victories were against Barossa and Light (172 to 141) and Barrier (73 to 60), with defeats by Yorke Peninsula (142

SPORT

Volleyballers show spirit By BRAD PERRY LOXTON High School had a rewarding tournament at the recent Australian Volleyball Schools Cup in Melbourne, despite returning home without any silverware. Unable to eclipse last year’s overall 11th placed finish, the 75 competing Loxton students secured 15th spot and fourth in the state. The school’s volleyball

co-ordinator Rick Garrard said it was a very successful week, even though results did not fall the way the students would have liked. “It was a fantastic week in regards to the behaviour and attitude of the kids but we had a year where if anything could go wrong, on the flip of a coin, it went against us,” he said. “It was interesting in the sense that we considered it to

Renmark results Open boys div 1- 12 (of 17) U/17 boys div 1- 12 (12) U/16 boys div 2- 4 (20) Open girls div 2- 19 (30) The games were remarkably close with the open boys honours team losing three games by one set, while the

under 16 girls honours side lost four games by the same margin. Renmark High School also competed in Melbourne, finishing 19th overall among the 115 schools that took part. The two Riverland teams locked horns once in the division two open girls category with Loxton winning by two sets. Mr Garrard said it was

great to see the support shown for both Riverland schools and the commitment from the students and their parents. “They just got so much out of the week,” he said. Loxton scored 361 points, while Renmark tallied 292 but both were well behind Brighton Secondary School, which was the champion school with 585 points.

Local ballers to represent state country team interstate By BRAD PERRY

■ PICKED: Local basketballers selected to play state were (from back left) Ben Clarke, Tyson Hoffmann, James Coats, Bri Seabrook, Ben MacCulloch (U/17 SA Country women’s coach) and (front) Steph Sarro, Staci Pront, Tylah Cooper, Ellee Eleftheriadis and Indee Thiele.

'Dogs turn to SANFL ■ From Page 52 However, all does not appear lost for the Bulldogs with the SANFL set to be brought in for formal discussions, according to Mr Beech. “We are a bit disappointed but at the same time the SANFL said to them last night (at the meeting) that they will have the final decision,” Mr Beech said. “I can’t see the SA country footy board allowing them

to have nowhere to go.” Mr Beech said a meeting would soon be held between the RFL, Independent clubs, SANFL and BSR. Meantime in other news from Monday night’s AGM, there was only one change to the RFL commission with Barmera-Monash great Lyndon Burns replacing retiring umpire Greg Reeks. Terry Wheeldon has been replaced by Gary Pfeiler as vice

president, although he will remain on the board. The Independent clubs will have a third grade in 2010 with an under 14 competition to be formed. The move will see Cobdogla withdraw from the RFL’s under 13 competition. And in further RFL news, the league has again signed regional broadcaster WIN Television as its major sponsor in a one year deal.

LOCAL basketballers are gearing up to compete in the Australian Junior Country Cup or Pacific Coast Slam next year, following their selection at the South Australian Country Basket-

ball trials recently. The Riverland will field its strongest representation for the state country side in many years after nine of the 15 that attended the try outs were picked in a range of junior categories from under 14 to 18.

For those selected, individual trainings will continue until they play at the Australian Junior Country Cup held in AlburyWodonga or the Pacific Coast Slam at Port Macquarie early next year.

Field officer gets active By BRAD PERRY THREE Riverland councils are backing the extension of the Regional be active field officer’s position. Loxton Waikerie, Berri Barmera and Renmark Paringa councils have all agreed to field officer Adrian Pipe’s request for a financial commitment over the next three years, totalling $45,000 per council. For the position to be reinstated until June 2013, Mr Pipe is waiting for a response to a $50,000 application to the Office for Recreation and Sport. Renmark Paringa Council chief executive of-

ficer Barry Hurst said the position has contributed to education and training for clubs and organisations and needs to continue. If Mr Pipe’s position continues, his biggest job will be co-ordinating next year’s World Futures Cycling Challenge, being hosted by the Riverland. Berri Barmera Council chief executive officer David Beaton added his support to the position’s extension. “Adrian (Pipe) presented us with what’s been happening over the past six months or so,” Mr Beaton said. “We were satisfied with what’s happened so far.”

He said the reappointment was more than appropriate considering coming events in the three council districts. With the three councils contributing $135,000 between them over the next three years, Loxton Waikerie Council acting chief executive officer Peter Sellar said it is a worthwhile investment. “I think it has worked really well with our region,” he said. “He (Adrian Pipe) plays an important role ■ INVOLVED: Riverland be bringing members of the active field officer Adrian community together and Pipe has been involved in helping them out with var- a number of activities this ious sporting activities and year, such as the Active programs.” Community Challenge.

Kia Soul: The very essence of individuality

Modified Scene with Graham Matthews

T

Page

ONLINE! riverlandweekly.com.au

HE eagerly awaited, allnew Kia Soul marks a revolutionary expansion of the Kia product line-up and redefines the personality of cars, with Generation Y and the young-at-heart firmly in its sights. Soul presents consumers with such a broad selection of styling, comfort and equipment choices, that it redefines the concept of freedom and individuality and creates a new category for the young and young-at-heart. It’s a brand new urban car packed full of liberating ideas – a car that challenges consumers to free their minds, to build an emotional bond with their

new car and to rethink everything they know about Kia. Kia Motors Corporation’s chief design officer Peter Schreyer, has overseen the evolution of Kia Soul from 2006 concept fantasy to its 2009 production reality. “Conceived in the USA, developed in Korea and finetuned in Europe, the Soul will be a breakthrough vehicle for Kia on its journey to be seen as a design-led company and the maker of distinctive cars which consumers aspire to own,” Mr Schreyer said. The Soul also features the trademark Kia corporate grille, designed by Schreyer, that first had its Australian premiere

on the new Kia Cerato sedan, launched earlier this year and is already drawing accolades from the Australian media and buying public alike. Available in three different grades – Soul, Soul2 and Soul3 – the key to the all-new Kia Soul’s appeal is its ultimate customisability for young and young-at-heart urban car buyers. With 30 customisable accessories and three option packs available, no two Souls seen in the street are likely to be the same, thus expressing the individuality of their owners. Options range from alloy wheels, body-kits, audio upgrades, red ‘street demon’ or beige ‘retro chic’ interiors, body

accents and many other options, all designed to offer customers almost infinite possibilities to customise and individualise their own Soul. In the minds of Generation Y, cars need to perform, only lightly touch the environment, look good, deliver on safety, be reliable and be wellappointed…”but everyone must know that this is my car”. Like all new Kia vehicles now sold in Australia, the new Kia Soul is covered by the peace of mind offered by Kia’s five year/unlimited kilometre warranty for private buyers and five year/130,000 kilometres for fleet buyers. All-new Kia Soul – no two Souls are the same.

MOTORING

MODIFIED SCENE

Graham Matthews

Brian’s love of drag racing and his 1967 RS Camaro H

is grandfather had a car yard and his dad raced outfits (sidecars) at Roly Park Speedway, so in his early days, Brian Shephard, of Loxton North, spent a lot of time around cars and motor bikes, be that at the car yard or in the pits at speedway. After driving a Mk2 Zephyr for his first car, Brian got into early six cylinder Holdens, owning a variety of early to mid 60s sedans that he modified to various degrees, a couple with very quick worked engines. In the late 70s he got into drag racing and regularly used his street cars to compete but decided a purpose built race car would be a good move, so a HK 327V8 Monaro was built up and raced in A Street Class. In 1980, Brian top qualified for the nationals at Adelaide International Raceway with an ET of 11.86 seconds at 117 mph and in the ensuing years, progressed through a number of other classes with a couple of different Monaros, taking out a variety of wins and quickest times. During the mid 80s, Brian heard of a Chev Camaro sitting in a shed gathering dust locally, so he tracked it down, purchased it and stashed it away until time and dollars were available for a rebuild. It was a 1967 RS Camaro, so Brian decided the rebuild would be complete and no short cuts would be taken. The car was completely stripped back to a bare metal body shell and surprisingly, there was next to no rust present, which made the task of preparation for

■GRUNT: Loxton North man Brian Shephard’s fully restored 1967 Camaro is certainly a head turner with plenty of power. the glacier white acrylic paint that much easier. A fibreglass bonnet with a cowl induction scoop has been fitted with original style hugger orange stripes added. All the chrome and stainless mouldings have either been replaced or repaired. The underside and suspension were stripped back also, then after reconditioning any parts necessary, this was painted in two pack black. While the Camaro was in pieces, it was decided to rebuild the right hand drive conversion and update the steering box and front

disc brakes to HQ Holden items. The engine bay has been tidied up and smoothed and the 327ci V8 engine of course wouldn’t be just reconditioned. It’s been treated to some major internal mods that allow it to rev freely, yet is still streetable and the gases exit via extractors and a 3� twin system. The transmission is an imported A1 powerglide and converter that works with a 5000rpm high stall and a manual shift kit. A 9� Ford diff running 31 spline axles and 3.89:1 gears and drum brakes keep the wheels turning.

Brian has a disc brake conversion organised and the drum brakes will be updated shortly. The wheels are Centreline Convo Pros, 15x8 on the rear and 15x6 up front. To keep the interior completely original, Brian imported a ‘deluxe trim kit’ that included absolutely everything required. It had all the seat trims, the door trims, carpet, hood lining, dash pad, arm rests and so much more. If you are looking to restore these types of American muscle cars, complete trim kits are becoming available for more makes and

models each year and the internet is making them easy to find. So after two years of solid spare time work, the Camaro was completed in 1989 and has been on the road ever since. I asked Brian what he likes most about it. “It’s been mechanically sound since the day it was finished,� he said. “I’ve revved its guts out occasionally and haven’t had to touch it. “It ran eight seconds at 100mph on the closed street track at Loxton North back in 1997. “The fact that it goes hard and I can still cruise comfortably, plus I love the mid 60s shape and style of the Yankee muscle cars.� The Camaro has won numerous street meet awards but the biggest accolade for Brian was at the recent Riverland Autoexpo when Gary Myers (Burnout King and Summernats Champion) picked the Camaro as his personal choice from all entrants. As for the future, Brian has no desires for any other cars, he just wants the Riverland drag strip up and running, so he can modify the Camaro to run in Super Gas Class.

SOME breeds have more health problems, higher energy levels, or grooming requirements and remember that larger dogs have larger appetites. Cost can be an important factor and includes proper feeding, regular veterinary care, emergencies and supplies such as collars, leads, beds, litter trays and so on.

What about holidays?

YOU also need to consider what you are going to do with your pet when you go on holidays, or WHAT about the type of home if you move house or to another you can offer your pet – will it be country. Will a pet fit in if you are part of a family? Are the children expanding your family, or are younger or older? you prepared to keep on the Who will be responsible family pet after your children for different tasks? How much move away? Too many pets end space do you have, and how up being neglected or in shelters much time do you have to because these possibilities haven’t been considered. "OWEN 4HERAPY

ARE you away from home a lot? Some animals may develop behavioural problems if left alone too long and some pets need more exercise than others. Puppies require more time and care than an adult dog and go through a chewing phase when teething. Kittens are more easily house trained but also require more time and patience than an adult.

exercise, train and groom him or her? Children’s pets need extra care to ensure your child understands how to treat animals well, how to keep healthy around pets and avoid dog bites and cat scratches.

ONE of the most important factors in building a happy relationship between you and your pet is to ensure you choose a pet that matches your lifestyle and environment. Factors include the breed, age and sex of the animal, which influence the exercise, feeding, training and health requirements, as well as the appearance and behaviour of your pet.

METAL masters Fear Factory have been added to the bill in the Big Day Out’s third line-up announcement. The band has been playing for 21 years and is still one of the most popular heavy music acts in the world today. Among the other acts announced for the Adelaide stage of the annual touring festival is Blowfly, who is credited by many as being the originator of hip-hop with his 1965 release Rap Dirty. Blowfly’s tunes are a sampler’s delight and have been used by such popular artists as Ice Cube, Jurassic 5, P Diddy and Beyonce. Other acts announced in the third round were The Scare, Wagons, and Teleprompter. While Adelaide acts added to the bill include Femme Fatales, Loot & Plunder, The Swiss, Stubanga, Poetikool Justice, DJ Japeye, Se Bon Ki Ra and The Thieves.

HOMELESS DOGS IN THE COLD BSR bid voted down at AGM

By ROB McLEAN

■ SLIPPED AWAY: BSR Football Club’s bid to join the Riverland Football League’s Independent competition was voted down by the clubs on Monday night.

BLANCHETOWN-Swan Reach has been denied entry to the Riverland Football League’s Independent competition following a vote on Monday night.

board and we obviously tried to put an argument for them to come on board,” Mr Beech said. “But the delegates voted against it.” Mr Beech said the negative vote flies in the face of earlier unoffi-

Ramco, which finished third in its first year in the Independents, was voted into the competition unanimously by the clubs. The RFL is the second competition to knock BSR back on an attempt to join, with a previous approach to the Adelaide Hills competition failing. That is despite Mid Murray’s Sedan-Cambrai heading to that competition.
