Santa Claus, North Pole EDITORIAL BY
ROB McLEAN
Another year goes quickly by AS I write this editorial, that old cliché about years going by so quickly rings in my head. This year has brought many challenges for us Riverlanders and we can be proud of how we have handled them stoically, whilst still challenging those who make decisions to do better for us. From the economic climate, to water policy and commodities prices, we’ve faced it all and stared it down. As this year draws to an end, the people of the Riverland can hold their heads high. The Riverland Christmas Appeal has had a booming response, with nearly 500 hampers handed out. While the final figure is higher than we would like, it is a wonderful example of the giving nature of our community. That kind of spirit will hold us in good stead as we face 2010. While it is inevitable that next year I will sit down at the end of December and think “wow, that year has gone so quick”, let us hope that 2010 treats us Riverlanders a little better. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all at the Riverland Weekly.

Hampers bring many smiles ■ WORKER: Riverland Christmas Appeal co-ordinator Phil Comins collects oranges for hampers on Monday.
REPORT BY
LES PEARSON HUNDREDS of smiling faces have been spotted around the region during the past week, as Christmas hampers were distributed throughout Riverland towns. Over 500 Christmas hampers were delivered to the needy this year thanks to local support of the Riverland Christmas Appeal. The number far exceeds the 400 hampers handed out last year, according to appeal co-ordinator Phil Comins. “It really shows the great need out there,” he said. “Sometimes, it gets quite frantic.” Mr Comins said the appeal has been extremely successful in addressing the Christmas need and was well above his expectations. “I didn’t think we would be able to help the fruit growers this year but we were able to get something out to a fair few of them,” he said. The real joy is certainly in the giving, as illustrated with all the helping hands who have assisted with this year’s appeal. Mr Comins said 16 people packed hampers from 8.30am to 2pm in 42 degree heat at the Uniting Church hall in Berri last week. While he couldn’t mention all who have contributed along the way, some generous acts certainly were great examples of the Christmas spirit, with Simply Events providing a giant water cooler during the packing day, Fletcher’s Freighters delivering hampers to Waikerie last Thursday and local grocer Grenfell
Smuggler caught AT 1.30am on December 20, police reported a 30 year old Munno Para West woman after she was found at the Cadell Training Centre allegedly attempting to deliver a prohibited item to a prisoner.

Financial donations to help cover costs for the appeal can be made at any time of year, to PO Box 60, Berri, and are tax deductible. With only the clean up to do after Monday’s exertions, Mr Comins said he plans to relax over the festive break, having finished yet another hectic Riverland Christmas Appeal. “I’ll take a few days off now over Christmas, which will hopefully be a bit more restful,” he chuckled.
He was refused bail and will appear in court Tuesday morning.

BRAD PERRY RIVERLAND growers will give Australia and the world a present of their own this Christmas, the gift of the region’s delicious cherry. The Riverland’s luscious cherries will feature on Christmas platters as far away as England following the end of the local cherry season recently. Barmera cherry grower Joe Gropler said there is something unique about the Riverland cherry, which has the red fruit in high demand in other countries. “It’s the flavour,” he said. “There are very few people who don’t like cherries. “I’d rather kids eat cherries than lollies.” Mr Gropler also grows his cherries organically, which he believes helps add to the taste. “We achieve good flavours from that,” he said. Barmera cherry grower John Goddard said it is not necessarily the cherry’s taste that is most important. “Each variety has a different taste,” he said. “It is the size that is the main thing.” So what makes a good cherry?

Local growers said it is important to look for a cherry that is heavy with shiny skin and stems still intact for the fruit platter this Christmas. While it was a mixed season for cherry growers, with some recording low yields, Mr Goddard said the success of the season is dependent on a

number of factors. “For me, the season went reasonably well, it wasn’t quite as successful as last year and the heat caused some damage,” he said. “It certainly can be rewarding if everything goes your way.” Mr Goddard said American cherries are the region’s main competitor, with most of the local cherries heading to Western Australia when the US market finishes in September.
Renmark grower Leon Cotsaris did not fare so well this year, feeling the impact of climate change by losing fruit to both the heat and winter chill. “We had a challenging time during picking with those hot days,” he said. Mr Cotsaris believes a top class cherry is one that suits the market you are selling to. “The perfect characteristics are to what the market wants, which is big and hard fruit and also the colour,” he said. A significant portion of local cherries are not available in the Riverland because they are shipped interstate to where the prices are better. “We’d like to sell locally but we can’t get the dollars here,” he said. “We have to sell to where they pay.”

No regrets for Maywald THE Member for Chaffey and River Murray Minister Karlene Maywald has admitted she has “no regrets” when it comes to decisions made regarding water issues. In a far reaching interview with the Riverland Weekly, Minister Maywald said there are no definites when it comes to water issues. “How I tend to look at things is that you make a decision on the basis of the information you have at that time and you operate on the basis of no regrets,” she said. In her dual role as local member and State Government Cabinet member, Minister Maywald has overseen the development of the Adelaide desalination plant, the draw down of Lake Bonney, monthly irrigation al-
Gearing up for another election campaign, Minister Maywald said she is unapologetic about the decisions she has made. “One of the things you find about the River Murray is that for every question you answer, there’s another 10 that don’t have an answer yet and we are consistently learning through this process,” she said. “If you wait until you’ve got all the answers to make a decision, you may as well have thrown the baby out with the bath water. “I would say in the main part, we are doing the best we can in extremely difficult circumstances.” ■ Karlene Maywald discusses the year past in the next edition of the Riverland Weekly, on January 7.

Absolutely, yes,” Minister Maywald reflected. “It saved us, during that 2006/2007 year and into the 2007/2008 year, around about 30 gigalitres of water.” Mrs Maywald said each decision she makes is part of a learning experience about managing the environment and its resources.

No relocation for Christmas Wonderland By BRAD PERRY LOXTON’S award winning tourist attraction Christmas Wonderland will not relocate in the near future, despite calls from locals to centralise the popular display. In recent times, questions have been raised as to whether the Loxton East display is too far
from town for visitors but founder Peter Mangelsdorf said Christmas Wonderland could not be moved closer to the town centre for a number of reasons. “At the moment it is good because it’s away from vandals,” he said. “It needs to be in a fenced area.” Despite the display’s
distance from the town centre, Mr Mangelsdorf said he has had to deal with vandals already this year when someone entered his property in the early hours of the morning. “At 4am one Sunday morning, there were some people behind my fence, shining their lights,” he said.
With Mr Mangelsdorf’s health deteriorating, he said he may need even more help to keep the major tourist attraction at its current site. “I want to do it as long as I can but it all depends on my health,” he said. “I am getting plenty of help but I need more.”

Mardi Gras fundraising in full swing
$270 million for water initiatives THE Federal Government has announced $270 million in new water purchasing initiatives in the Murray-Darling Basin. Federal Acting Water Minister Peter Garrett announced last week that three short tenders of $90 million each will be conducted in
the southern basin in the first half of 2010. The first tender will open on January 11 and close 18 days later. Two further tenders will also open for three weeks each, to be held in March and April.

The orchards, the vineyards, the barbeques, the sports, the camping, the great outdoors, the amazing Riverland. Wouldn’t live or visit anywhere else. For a long or short stay, many of us enjoy the Riverland. There’s a buzz about the place but occasionally that buzz can turn into a sting. When mosquitoes bite some can spread serious disease, like Ross River virus.
fight the bite! Cover Up. Wear long, light coloured, loose fitting clothing. Roll On. Spray On. Use an insect repellent containing DEET or Picaridin (always read and follow instructions on the label first). Clean Up. Stop mosquitoes breeding by emptying or removing objects that can hold water.

THREE talented young members of the Loxton community have been nominated as the 2009/10 Mardi Gras Ambassadors and have already been busy holding and planning a number of social events to raise money. Jamie-lee Jones (Loxton Lions Club), Tamara Mann (Loxton Football Club) and Gemma Wood (Loxton Rotary Club) will take part in the annual tradition in February. The girls are excited about the prospect of participating in an event they have all grown up with. “I have always wanted to do it when I was little,” Tamara said. “I am hoping to gain better knowledge of Loxton and get out there and help the community.” Tamara has organised biscuit drives and bowls and golf nights to continue raising money, while more than 100 people turned out to her major fundraiser, the Cup Calcutta, during the Melbourne Cup carnival. Juggling year 12, work and ambassador duties, Jamie-lee has her sights set on raising thousands of dollars towards her community. “It is such a great com-
munity where everybody knows everybody else and they are always willing to give each other a hand and help each other out,” she said. Raising $1300 at a bare foot bowls night recently, Jamie-lee has a number of great ideas to continue raising money, including a teenage dance party, casual school days and a hire-ahusband auction. The latest inclusion to the Mardi Gras Ambassador entrants is Gemma Wood, who loves living in such a generous community. “I have lived here my whole life and my father has lived here his whole life, so I am a pretty community based person,” she said. Gemma said she was inspired to enter knowing the money will go to a worthy cause. “Some of our money goes to children with disabilities, so that has been a real passion of mine and knowing that the money goes to somewhere good has really pushed me to do it,” she said. Despite her late entry as Mardi Gras Ambassador, Gemma has already begun organising a number of fundraiser events, including a black stump dinner and bingo night.

Have a very merry Christmas in the Riverland
A Christmas poem with a local twist Berri woman Peg Mortimer has provided the Riverland Weekly with some Christmas cheer. We hope you enjoy.
Dear Father Christmas Will you visit us in the Riverland? We haven’t any snow and reindeers don’t come this far south - it’s too far for them to go. There are no smoking chimneys Or snow paths for your sleigh. It’s altogether different here Perhaps you’re going to say. But there are children just like me Who wait for you each year, With your smiley face and bright red suit To bring us all good cheer. We look at Christmas trees aglow With lights and shining star, And just can’t wait for Christmas And wonder where you are. Can you find your way inside Without a chimney tall? We’ve put a glass of cool drink out And biscuits in the hall. So please dear Father Christmas Keep a look out for our spot We’ve been busy picking apricots And the sun gets very hot.
With Christmas by the river. Mum plans to have a barbecue With the turkey cold this year And scrumptious salads and ice cream cake We wish you could be here. We’ll be down by the Murray Where wild duck and heron hide. We’ll spread our rugs beneath a gum And brush the leaves aside.

Our Dad says as a special treat He’ll hire a red canoe, And we can paddle in the shallows - do you think you could come too? You’ll know just where to look for us and we really think you should. Just take a break and visit us Ps, I’m four and I’ve been good! Your friend, Toby.
We’ll do a spot of fishing Just for a bit of fun But Dad would likely die of shock If he ever caught a big one! The yabbies might be biting So we’ll lower in the nets And check them every hour or so To see which spot is best.

Calls to bring back Ramco Road A PETITION featuring 274 signatures has called for the Loxton Waikerie Council to return the name of Cadell Valley Road to Ramco Road. The former Waikerie-Cadell Road underwent a name change as part of council’s rural address program. No verbal objections were received at a community consultation at the Waikerie Hotel, so the change to Cadell Valley Road became official. When the newly named road signs were installed at the former Waikerie-Cadell Road, community members created a petition. Loxton Waikerie Council infrastructure services director Tom Avery said many of the signatures on the petition came from people outside of the area. “I therefore recommend that council forward correspondence to the owners of the 103 rural properties along the road, seeking their opinion on the proposed road name change.”

Satisfied in life, wish granter Dallas Zeliff has...
East Terrace improvement plans
Plans to continue giving something back By LES PEARSON WHILE granting wishes may seem like a fairytale to many, Berri Barmera’s Citizen of the Year for 2009 Dallas Zeliff is widely known for doing just that. Dallas has been involved with the Make A Wish Foundation for 10 years, and president for nine. The long association with the charity started insignificantly enough but has become an almost all-consuming interest. “I just dipped my toe in the water to give something back and it’s been a bit of a magic carpet ride since,” he said. He highlighted three reasons for his ongoing involvement with the Make A Wish Foundation. The first was granting wishes to children. “It really gets to you when you interview a child and find out what would turn their life around the right way, even for just a little while,” Dallas said. That joy has been replicated 15 times in the past 10 years by the Riverland Make A Wish branch. Dallas said the ongoing support from the administrative level of the foundation in Adelaide has been another reason why he has stayed on board. “They just keep in touch, it

As a disability job network employment officer with Community Bridging Services, Dallas also finds fulfilment in his professional life. “I’ve had two kids we granted wishes for come in and get jobs, so it’s been very rewarding,” he said. The experience has been overwhelming, according to Dallas. “It’s a bit humbling when you look at someone who has given 40 years of service, while I get acknowledged after 10,” he said. “I’m stepping down from the presidency as of next year to give someone else a go in the role. “I’ve kept the job of fundraiser and foundation historian, as I have all the records from the past 10 years, and I’ll also keep the role as media liaison to help ease the new president into the job.” Dallas said he wants to continue contributing to the community. “While I’m here and enjoying it, I might as well keep on doing it,” he said. Junior Citizen of the Year was Rotarian and Youth and Council Unite (YACU) member Dion Barnett, while the State Speed Skiing 110 held at Martin’s Bend last month won event of the year.
THE Loxton Recreation Grounds Trust Committee has created plans to improve East Terrace and its surrounding areas in a bid to beautify the streetscape. A concept plan, which incorporates new paths and features from the roundabout to the library, will be further developed before being advertised for public consultation, subject to approval from the Loxton Waikerie Council. Loxton Waikerie Council infrastructure services director Tom Avery said there are a number of reasons why the committee decided to upgrade the street. “The concept plan has been developed to facilitate improved pedestrian movement and more seating for visitor comfort,” he said.

Berry’s broad horizons By LES PEARSON IT’S not easy being 17. Especially for local singing star Georgette Berry, who after claiming the 2009 Junior Champion of Champions award at the South Australian Council for Country Music Showcase, held in Gawler last month, suddenly has future directions popping up everywhere. The young starlet still has another year of school ahead of her and with a trip to Tamworth planned in June, different career pathways are steadily emerging. “I’m not sure what I will do,” she said. “There is the uni option or
going through, out into the workforce and getting a job.” Then there is the country music career that could be beckoning but Georgette revealed she is a much more versatile performer than many would realise. “A lot of people look at me as a country singer just because I do a lot of country competitions,” she said. “But it’s really the only way to put yourself out there into the music scene, especially in the country. “I get my friends to make me CDs, they’ve got better taste than I have.” While she couldn’t name specific bands or artists she likes as an alternative to country music, Georgette said she has broad tastes including pop and dance. So far, however, the country music industry is paying a lot of attention to Georgette’s potential, with a swag of awards from previous competitions including the Len Wakefield Memorial Trophy, the Frank Howding Memorial, South Australian Award of Excellence, Top of the Gulf Junior Entertainer of the Year, as well as a scholarship from the St Arnaud Country Music Club. The scholarship will assist Georgette to attend the Academy of Australian Country Music at Tamworth in June next year.
Visitor numbers increase By BRAD PERRY THE world famous Renmark Rose Festival and the popular Riverland Renaissance have helped inject renewed life into the region’s visitor numbers over the past four months. The two events helped produce the highest tourist numbers in October in five years, according to Renmark Paringa Visitor Information Centre figures, and the trend has continued in November with a 14.5 per cent increase. August also saw a 30 per cent spike in visitors to the area, while September had a 20 per cent increase on the same time last year. With Adelaide based media encouraging people to travel to the Riverland in past months, local tourist operators are hoping visitor numbers will continue to rise.

■ OPTIONS: 17 year old local starlet Georgette Berry is looking forward to a career in the music industry. She said the scholarship will be excellent preparation for the annual Australian Country Music Festival. “We’ll use June as an opportunity to get our bearings before we go to the actual festival next year (2011),” Georgette said. As a natural performer, she is calm on stage and is a popular choice for entertainment at different events in the region, including Loxton’s Christmas Carols evening last Sunday. “I don’t really get nervous a lot,” Georgette smiled. “I tend to get more preshow nerves than performance nerves.” Put a notepad and pen in her hands, however, and things go a
little pear-shaped. “I’m not really that good at writing songs,” she admitted. “I start writing a verse and I get everything I want to say in one verse and it’s like, what now?” Georgette plans to use her part of her scholarship at a song writing workshop to help develop that side of her musicianship. As for style, she said chilledout acoustic songs seem to appeal to her the most and whether she pursues the country road professionally, only time will tell. “I just hope I end up doing something I enjoy I guess, and gets me lots of money – money’s good,” she laughed. “I’ll just take it as it comes and see how it goes.”

Strong interest in retirement estate
Riverbank erosion at Ramco causes council to act fast By BRAD PERRY EXTENSIVE erosion on the riverbank at a popular ski spot at Ramco Point has been quickly rectified by the Loxton Waikerie Council after safety concerns were aired. Council allocated $40,000 to stabilise Ramco Point’s banks to repair erosion caused by watercraft. In a council report, it stat-

ed that extruding roots and a large drop-off posed considerable risks, especially with the holiday season approaching. The area is located on Crown land that is under the Loxton Waikerie Council’s care and control. Council works manager Rick Noble highlighted the issue, believing sandbagging may be required at Ramco Point in the future.

RETIREMENT village operator Paul Capper has reported an extremely positive ongoing interest in what is becoming another important regional industry. Renmark retirement development Riverside Estate is easily the biggest of its kind in the Riverland and the demand for homes at the site continues to be strong. “That’s why we invested up here,” Mr Capper said. “The potential was always there.” He said the lifestyle remains a huge drawcard and while developers were originally expecting Riverlanders to fill a majority of the homes, it is non-locals that are fast moving in. “Sixty per cent of people here at Riverside Estate are from outside the region… we were originally expecting about 40 per cent,” Mr Capper said. He said as things improve economically, there may be some levelling off of that figure. On top of lifestyle, another key attraction for retirees is the region’s warmer climate. “A lot of people are coming here from wet areas, they’ve just had enough of

the wet,” Mr Capper said. While the move from the Adelaide Hills seems like a big sea-change, some residents have ventured to the region from England and France. Mr Capper said the development has fallen behind schedule due to the huge demand. “If you wanted to buy a
house here, you would be waiting until at least the middle of next year,” he said. With development approval for 238 homes, Riverside Estate currently has 30 occupied residences, with a further 30 sites presold and ready for development. The construction of a community recreation
centre is planned to begin in February. Mr Capper said he is extremely happy with the development’s progress, with residents meeting up to three times a week for social events. Mr Capper also revealed he is investigating launching similar developments at Berri and Loxton.

3ERVICE -ARK #AROL WISH CUSTOMERS FRIENDS A SPARKLING #HRISTMAS ADVISE THEY WILL BE CLOSED
0(/.% By BRAD PERRY ONE of South Australia’s most important water facilities recently opened its doors to the public for the first time ever, exposing a complex machine managing the state’s vital asset - the River Murray. Behind towering fences, one of the state’s best kept secrets, the Morgan Water Filtration Plant, recently hosted a number of tours showcasing an impressive facility which supplies water to 120,000 South Australians. The plant controls the water between the River Murray locks, as well as filtering and disinfecting untreated water and pumping it as far away as the Eyre Peninsula. During a public tour, plant co-ordinator Tom Stegmann, expressed the importance of the water facility for the state, especially following a recent high voltage upgrade of the pipleline. “The filtration plant was built in the 80s and before that we used to just pump it (water) raw, with chlorine to keep the bugs out, but now with the filtration process, it’s beautiful water,” he said. “We drink it (the water) here, so it must be good,” he laughed. The facility is significant enough that its pipelines are constantly monitored by security guards. The plant was built in 1986 at a cost of $31 million to provide filtered water outside the metropolitan area and can produce 200 megalitres of water per day, which is transported via the Morgan-Whyalla Pipeline. “We keep the water at Lock One and at the moment all the locks are closed, which keeps the
water up here so that we have a constant supply,” Mr Stegmann said. “If we break down we don’t have any reservoirs, whereas you guys in Adelaide have all the Adelaide Hills reservoirs,” he told an Adelaide resident during the tour. “If we opened all the locks, it would just belt straight through and out to sea. “If we break down, no water.” Interestingly, the plant is also a haven for wildlife, especially fish species. “Whatever is floating past, like fish eggs, gets sucked up and even though we have got screens on there, the fish eggs can get through,” he said. Mr Stegmann said it is a great place for fish to breed as it is relatively predator free, with the exception of the odd shag. “You get them (fish) sometimes fairly big, they breed and get bigger because they don’t get disturbed,” he said. “The fish that are in there are our biological indicator, if they can live in the water, anything can.”

■ GRIM: The once bounteous, green acres of the Paringa Paddock have seriously deteriorated after years of drought, while (inset) amongst the dying trees there are signs of life, offering hope that one day the paddock may return to its former glory. bare of the wildlife that should be thriving in the area. “It’s pretty stark isn’t it? You should be able to hear the birds,” Mr Reddy said. “This would have had koala bears too because they were released into this area.” “This used to be full of kangaroos and other things and it’s all been affected. “There are no grasses for them
to graze on and none of the herbs they need to survive.” Paringa Paddock is home to several species of plants, trees and wetlands and Mr Reddy said it is not unusual to see one hundred year old red gums uprooted due to the intense drought. “The smaller red gums are still surviving but the big ones are all dead and gone,” he said. “What happens in this area is

better than others. Revegetation and restoration efforts can then focus on the species that will survive best in particular areas. The ‘dieback detectives’ have been visiting patches of scrub, generally in Heritage Agreements and Conservation Parks across the region. They have been measuring trees, counting tree stems and assessing tree dieback on eight eucalypt species. They are taking particular interest in where the trees are growing on the landscape because trees higher up on dune ridges respond to rainfall differently to those down on the flat. Those on the top of dunes can bury their roots further into the sandier soils to reach water. The sand also allows rain to quickly soak down further, reducing evaporation rates, and can allow water to be sucked up more readily by the roots when they need it. The red clay soils on the flat makes it harder for roots to access and also doesn’t allow water to soak in so deeply, which leads to higher evaporation rates. So the position on the landscape could be important, as well as the rainfall, the aspect (facing the sun or not) and the density of the scrub. Preliminary results suggest that some trees, such as the
DID you know that a mallee eucalypt tree may have been alive since your g r a n d f a t h e r ’s grandfather was born? Mallee eucalypts can live to a ripe old age but we do not have an accurate way to measure their exact age because unlike old river red gums, they lack a single main trunk with agerings. Mallee trees have many small trunks or stems, which can dieback and fall over, only to be replaced by new ones growing from the very old mallee roots underground. This process of stem dieback is natural. However, when it happens too frequently the tree can eventually die. The Department for En-
vironment and Heritage are conducting research to look at dieback in mallee trees across the Murray Mallee region. They are specifically looking at how different species have exhibited dieback over the recent drought years. The University of Adelaide is developing rainfall models to predict the annual rainfall that broad areas are likely to receive in the future. Many areas in the mallee are likely to receive reduced rainfall in future years which may increase the dieback in some species of trees and may also reduce survival in new seedlings. The research aims to identify which mallee species will deal with this climate change

there is a fresh water lens that these trees live off and then if the water doesn’t come back in and replenish the fresh water lens, then these trees die because they are going into salt water and they can only handle salt up to 20,000 EC units.” There is also the danger of dead branches falling unpredictably in the paddock. “These branches, they are all cracked and split and dead,” Mr Reddy said. “One of these things could fall on top of you. “We are in the hundreds of thousands of dead trees.” The damage is not irreversible but Mr Reddy believes returning the paddock to its former glory could be almost a century away, dependent on strong rainfall. “If we get back to the time of floods, we will get a new lot of these trees coming up but that could take another 80 years,” he said.
■ UNKNOWN: Department of Environment and Heritage officers are investigating the mallee eucalyptus dieback process. ridge-fruited mallee (Eucalyptus incrassata) do better higher up on dunes in areas of lower rainfall. In the coming year, the researchers hope to unravel more of the mysteries surrounding the climate change tolerances of these old trees.

You get what you give. Those of you who have yet to grasp that concept are probably wondering where your support went. When the need to withhold gets you nowhere, it is time to look at what keeps you from giving.

GEMINI MAY 21 - JUNE 20 Opportunities to grow usually arrive with a change or two. Don’t let any of this freak you out. Everything comes and goes. If it’s time to say goodbye to someone or something, give it its due and let it go.
CANCER JUNE 21 - JULY 20 With this much on the line anyone else would be a nervous wreck. At this point you’re clear that it doesn’t pay to get all wound up about something that is too out of control for anyone to change its course.

■ GIVER: Waikerie’s Jan Heppner is one of those rare and valued community-minded people who continues to give her time and effort back to the town she lives in.
A year round community contributor By BRAD PERRY CHRISTMAS is the season for giving but for Waikerie resident Jan Heppner, donating her time all year round is the most rewarding gift. When most people hit retirement, they sit back, put the feet up and relax but for Jan, retirement means life has become even busier. Born in Waikerie, Jan has seen the ups and downs over more than 65 years of involvement with the town and volunteers her time to several popular local community groups. Jan’s attitude towards retirement is that you get to decide what you want to do with your time. “I suppose I like to be kept busy,” she said. “Being retired, your time is your own.” Over the years, Jan has been involved in the Waikerie Garden Club, Lions Club, Rain Moth Gallery, Meals on Wheels and the Christmas pageant to name a few. It is the lifestyle and community spirit, which Jan believes makes Waikerie the ideal place to retire. Reminiscing on a past which still leaves its mark on the town, Jan said life has never been dull for her and her husband Herb.

The climate is good and you make all your friends from around the area. The pair was lucky enough to live in one of Waikerie’s most historic homesteads, known as Virgo House, for 23 years and Jan said the residence is one of only 10 stone homes built in Waikerie. “It was a lovely place to live,” she said. “It overlooks all of the town because it is on the cliffs and there is a lot of history in that house.” With Waikerie labelled as one of the best places to retire in South Australia, Jan returned to Adelaide
Looking Ahead
for work for two years, only to return to the place she loved the most. “I think it is an excellent place to retire,” she said. “The climate is good and you make all your friends from around the area.” Despite the future of Riverland towns coming into question with water issues and the recession, Jan said Waikerie will always be the great community it currently is. “People say it is not expanding but it is,” she said. “I think it’s still got a good future, I know we are losing a few shops but it comes and goes a little bit, like it always has.” After playing a big role in organising this year’s very successful Christmas pageant, Jan hopes to now find more time to continue her favourite hobby, sewing. Jan’s handsewn handbags have featured at a display at the Rain Moth Gallery and are in popular demand right across the Riverland and as far as Adelaide. “I love sewing, so that’s where the bags come in,” she said.

tralia’s ‘Best Mid-size Car Under $30,000’ and the Hyundai iMax CRDi turbo diesel was named Australia’s ‘Best People Mover’. Following an exhaustive evaluation and assessment process that focused on three main criteria (‘Value for Money’,
‘Design and Function’ and ‘On the Road Performance’), the Australia’s Best Cars national judging panel awarded the double win to both Hyundai vehicles from a field of more than 280 original competitors. “Once again, the i30 is the car in the class that offers the best value for money within the judging criteria,” Australia’s Best Cars chief judge Ernest Litera said. “The i30 has topped its class in terms of ownership costs and operating costs, including fuel economy. The i30 scored above average in all 19 areas that were measured, particularly in safety and security.” The i30 SX petrol offers outstanding value and the i30 SX CRDi turbo diesel continues to be Australia’s most affordable diesel powered car. Last year the i30 and the iMax also won their respective classes but both products have been enhanced since then. The i30 SX now has six airbags as standard, ensuring the entire i30 range attains ANCAP’s maximum five star safety rating, while the iMax has gained steering wheel audio controls and front seat armrests. “The iMax is the standout people mover for the second year in a row,” Mr Litera said “It offers the ultimate in people mover requirements with space for eight people and their luggage. It is a very easy vehicle to live with thanks to its practical design, functionality and on-road ability.”

Expect banks to break ranks Consumers can expect banks to continue breaking ranks from the interest rate decisions of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), according to a leading mortgage broker. Earlier this month the RBA boosted the official cash rate by 0.25 per cent to 3.75 per cent but Westpac, the Commonwealth Bank and ANZ all hoisted their standard variable rates higher than the central bank’s increase. Riverland mortgage broker Robert Gruzlewski said the unwelcome trend of banks breaking ranks from the RBA was likely to carry on during 2010. “Major banks no longer seem to be moving in line with the RBA, which is a development of great concern to mortgage holders,” Mr Gruzlewski said. “Based on this development, it is imperative that the RBA now pause and assess the impact of its three
consecutive rates rises. “The banks have effectively delivered a fourth rate rise in 2009 and this should take the impetus off the Reserve Bank to act early in 2010.” Mr Gruzlewski said more competition in the mortgage market would be of enormous benefit to homeowners with interest rates on the rise and he anticipates an increase in mortgage holders making enquiries about switching to smaller lenders. He cautioned borrowers against reacting hastily and to research their options carefully. “There is no guarantee that because a bank had only increased 0.25 per cent this time around that they would not take the opportunity to increase rates outside of the RBA in 2010,” he said. “What we saw in late 2008 and early 2009 were banks not passing on the full interest rate reductions and the amounts held back varied
at each reduction. By the end of the cycle, they were still within 0.10 per cent of each other on the standard variable rate.” Mr Gruzlewski said homeowners could talk to a mortgage broker to find out their options. “They should also be able to give you some background on how that lender has historically moved their rates outside of the Reserve Bank,” he said. “Mortgage holders also retain the right to negotiate a lower variable rate now on an existing home loan with their current lender. “A mortgage broker can also assist you with this process and you can negotiate a home loan rate that is anything from 0.70 per cent lower or more for large size loans.” For further information: Robert Gruzlewski, Loan Market Riverland (0448 816 698).

TAYLORVILLE 3
ITUATED at North Shore Waikerie this property is comprised of vine plantings and its own private piece of waterfront. There is a three bedroom home located near the centre of the property with plenty of space as a weekender or with a little attention would make a perfect home. The plantings are comprised of 16 acres of shiraz with approximately nine acres of chardonnay also planted. The vines are irrigated direct from the creek via a private diversion license with all irrigation operating through a filtration system set up for drip irrigation. The property fronts the famous Tulunka Creek and is navigable by houseboat and is ski-able to the Murray. Being set off the Murray ensures that the houseboat is moored out of the mainstream traffic and the single access via the western end of the creek protects the site from other river goers. The seclusion and peacefulness of the site is the main feature of the location while the property extends under the water line, the site should enable you to build a jetty or wharf, subject to council approvals of course.
Almost a Display Home. Pristine home which has been lovingly cared for. One of Corowa Estates quality built homes. Featuring 3 bdrms, master with built in robes, open plan living with all quality fixtures, fittings.

The Riverland’s most authoritative sports commentator ...
WITH GRAHAM CHARLTON
tennis Gun bowlers emerge New initiative from the flexirinks impresses ■ THE Loxton Bowling Club’s flexirinks seem to be full of ‘bolters’. Immediately following Keith Taylor’s rapid rise to fame, when he took out the local section of the state open singles championship to earn a trip to the finals in Adelaide, the much younger Josh Nelson is making a name for himself. Josh, of course, is better known as a star footballer with Loxton North. It will also be remembered that a couple of seasons ago, he suffered a neck injury that threatened his football future but with grit and determination, he put that behind him to return to the fray. Talk has it that Josh initially took up bowls to play alongside his mate Ben Williams, who courtesy of a serious ankle injury has been forced out of football. That be as it may, last Saturday Josh and Ben were joined by father and son Fred and Lynton Proud in a flexirink that won 3313 against a Barmera combination. And that group in itself contained some real football thoroughbreds, with 87 year old Fred, a Loxton representative in the RFL Champions Team of the Century announced this year, and Lynton, a stalwart at Loxton North, both on and off field. Josh is the partner of Ellen Proud, Fred’s granddaughter and Lynton’s daughter. But more on Josh Nelson the bowler, who is committed to the fun and mateship of flexirinks and reluctant to step up to more serious competition, despite club elders considering he is capable
ships, the considerable interest created by a crack field contesting the recent North East Zone State pairs competition at Waikerie seems to have had a flow on effect into the state singles zone sectionals to be played at Loxton on Sunday, January 10. There is nothing better in any sport than seeing all of the big guns shoot it out on occasions like this. Last week we wondered whether Barmera’s division one men would take any confidence out of their upset victory over Loxton. Well they obviously did, as on Saturday they added Renmark RSL to the ever increasing trophies on their belts, two rinks all (86-75). The clincher was John Morena leading his rink to a 29-10 win over ‘Dixie’ Lee – the man he had got on so well with the previous weekend when the pair got through to the local state pairs final. Waikerie won three rinks, including Barry Harden (24-23) over Vic Pavia, as they defeated Loxton (85-75), while top team Renmark accounted for Lyrup (98-75). While on the state pairs, which were finalised at the Grange Bowling Club in Adelaide over the weekend, the Berri Bowling Club’s father and son outfit of Craig and Dennis Treloar made it through to the semi-finals. Unfortunately they failed in an extremely tight contest against the ex Barossa team of Scott Thulborne and Adam Forbes (11-8). Thulborne and Forbes went on the win the final.
■ DOMINATING: While better known for his footballing abilities, Josh Nelson is fast emerging as an excellent lawn bowler. of division one selection. That has not stopped him reaching the semi-finals of the 2009/10 Loxton men’s championship singles. Along the way he has demolished second division skipper Trevor Wurst and last Sunday, reigning champion Trevor Schulz (21-9) after leading 20-3 at one point. Josh will play another relative newcomer to the sport, Tony Ro-
Academy date change ■ RIVERLAND Netball Association co-ordinator Wendy Gambling has contacted me with an urgent message for girls included on under 13, 15 and 17 lists for the 2010 Murray Region Academy trials at Karoonda on Sunday, February 7. This is a new date because the original day clashed with a Thunderbird clinic. Riverland, Mallee, River Murray and Murray Bridge juniors will be involved in the trials.
meo, for a place in the final, with the winner to meet the survivor of the other semi-final between seven times club champion, and one of the Riverland’s finest, Peter Kimber, and another division one skipper Bruce Bald. The mind boggles but it could not happen, surely? A Loxton Bowling Club men’s singles championship – won by a flexirinker? And talking about champion-
Under 14 cricket side selected ■ MURRAY Districts junior cricket selectors have named Lameroo’s Josh Barrett (captain), Waikerie Ramco’s Liam Schiller (vice captain), Ricky Carter and Brad Cain, Loxton’s Lachy Hentschke (vice captain), Mark Durdin, Sam Durdin and Hayden Francis, Parilla pair Lachy Pye and Ben Hannam, Pawanpreet Singh (Berri) and Zakk Gallo (Renmark) in the zone team bound for the annual country cup in Adelaide,
January 4 to 7. Waikerie’s Wayne Schiller will be coach, with Lynton Barrett (Lameroo) the manager. Wicketkeeper Lachy Hentschke, the younger brother of Jordan, who played in the recent Murray Districts under 16 team in Adelaide, and Liam Schiller are in their second year in the under 14s. Josh Barrett’s brother Cameron also turned out for the under 16s.
Also of interest are the skills the Durdin twins, who with Hayden Francis and Lachy Henschke travel from East Murray to play for Loxton, bring to the team. Mark is a left handed batsman and right arm pace bowler and Sam a right handed bat and left arm fast bowler. The Durdin, Francis, Schiller and Hentschke names have all appeared in their clubs’ under 16 teams in 2009/10.
Social touch football competition to head to Waikerie ■ WHEN the introduction of touch football was announced for Berri early this year, organisers served notice of an intention to expand the fun, minimal contact, sociable sport that caters for all age groups and fitness levels into other centres. Well now it is to happen at Waikerie at the town’s recreation centre in partnership with Touch Football SA and Riverland be active, announcing a season that will start in February. The five a side mixed competition follows the success of the inaugural Berri season and gets under way on Wednesday,
February 3, for an eight week program. Already touch football is showing itself to be a medium for individuals or groups to do some pre-season training for other sports and for families to grab a rare opportunity to play together on the same team. At Waikerie, the game will be played at the recreation centre’s playing fields, with an initial come and try session designed to demonstrate the game and to explain the modified rules set down for 6pm, Wednesday, January 27. By the way, at Berri, the in-
augural Riverland touch football premiership has gone to the season’s dominant team Starskys. Mind you, they did not have it all their own way as their opponents Rascals started like their mothers were chasing them and Starskys were always playing ‘catch up’. Three all at siren time necessitated a ‘drop off’ (extra time) and after seven and a half minutes and with teams down to three players, Starskys clinched the title 4-3. Players involved with Starskys included Dave and Sue Whitbourne, Brenton Fenwick,
Benita Dillon, Phil Strachan, Craig Moore and Caroline Martin. The battle for minor placings was also a thriller with Can’t Touch This and Gavin’s Mob finishing equal third after a tie. Touch Football SA’s business operations manager Tim Wyld, at the Riverland presentations, remarked on the rapidly improved standard of the competition. Contact him on 0423 542 708 or Riverland be active officer Adrian Pipe on 0401 100 202 for further information.
■ BARMERA’S Mike Horsman being involved as coach of a group of eight elite junior tennis players in Mildura has given him an insight into a formidable initiative in the Sunraysia region. His tennis squad forms part of a junior academy that also caters for netball, football, hockey, basketball and, in fact, practically all sports. Tennis Victoria is involved as a supporter but the academy generally is funded by that state’s Department of Sport, the local council and local fundraising. Mike estimates the overall cost to his players to cover being involved in coaching, travelling etc is $1800 each. This is the second consecutive season that Horsman has been summoned to Victoria in an emergency to take charge of the academy squad. Last year the appointed coach “returned to Queensland, this year’s was dismissed”. There is some talk the position may be offered to Mike from the outset for 2010/11 but he is “going to have to think seriously abut that because of an already heavy workload”. Part of that involves a trip to Sydney in charge of the SA under 13 girls and boys teams in January for the annual national country tournament that also involves Victoria, NSW and WA. This will be held at the same time as the women’s Sydney International, prior to the Australian Open, so according to Horsman, “there will be plenty of top players for our kids to have a look at”. Horsman also had a prime role to play in organising last week’s second leg of the Riverland Junior Grand Slam at Loxton, when the tournament had to be extended to a third day after interruptions by heat on day one and rain on day two. A pleasing 72 entries were received, including many visitors from Mildura and around SA. A number of Riverland youngsters did well in the tournament, none better than Renmark brother and sister Jack and Jamie Jaensch. Jack pulled off probably the upset of the event when he defeated highly ranked Nathan Flight (Loxton) in the 14 boys singles, before finishing runner-up to Nuriootpa’s Nathan Pope. He also teamed with Loxton’s Adam Proud to be runners-up in the doubles. Younger sister Jamie took out the 10 girls doubles, with partner Shenae Rucioch, as well as winning her singles final against Abbey Wilson (Loxton). Meanwhile in 10 boys, Barmera’s William Koskinas won the singles from his brother Blake, while the pair joined to finish runners-up to Henry Baker (Barmera) and Joel Broadhead (Salisbury) in the doubles. Cobdogla players were also prominent. Beau Brown and Ben Rogers took out the 16 boys doubles, Murray and Steve Burton the 12 doubles, while Steve Burton won the 12 singles from Brodie Kollman. The girls 16 years singles went to Sarah Pickering (Berri), doubles to Katelyn Schulz (Renmark) and Laura Zdanowicz (Loxton), while in 14 doubles, Ainslee Graetz (Moorook) and Megan Hill (Barmera) won the girls and Nathan Flight and Nathan Pope the boys. Of the visitors, Mildura’s Olofsson sisters were outstanding. Kate took out the girls 14 years singles by defeating Freeling’s Shannon Bubner, who will be the number one girl in SA’s 13 and under team, 8-5, while Sarah won the 12 girls singles final against Berri’s Marni Stewart and doubles with Nicole Gleeson (Mildura). Stage three of the Grand Slam will be at Renmark in early April.

The approximate number of matches retired umpire Greg Reeks has officiated in.
SPORT
Putting the whistle away ■ IT IS official. Greg Reeks has retired as a Riverland Football League field umpire after officiating in around 660 matches. He has also stood down from the RFL Commission after five years. For the often maligned ‘Reeksy’, I thought there must surely be something sinister about his decision to quit a situation that has been a major factor in his life since he came to the region in 1981. But he assures me there is not. “I turned 50 this year and had been thinking of retiring for some time,” he said. “I want to spend more time with my wife Anne-Marie, follow my sons Joe, who is playing football for Berri, and Nick, who will probably turn out with a university team in Adelaide, as well as see more of my daughters, Sacred Heart hockey player Clare and Kathryn in the city.” And he is also into rowing with the Berri Club, although if reports from an incident on the river last Sunday are correct, he is having trouble staying in the boat. I first heard from Berri Rowing Club’s Paul Othams about Greg’s arrival amongst them. He could not believe the new-
comer’s enthusiasm and work ethic. Greg had also noticed the photos of some rowers on the clubhouse wall and made no secret of the fact that he wanted his up amongst them. I asked Reeksy about this. “I checked with Paul Othams,” he said “and apparently you have to win a race first”. “Falling out of the boat didn’t qualify me for a photo.” Reeks came here originally as an arts officer with the Riverland Cultural Trust - a position he held until 1988. He played A grade and seconds football for Berri in 1982 to 1984, including a seconds flag in the final year. However, an unfortunate accident away from the game saw him fracture his skull, with the serious injury bringing the curtain down on his playing days. In 1985 he joined the RFL umpires panel and apart from one season, 1989, when he was with SAFA in Adelaide, he has blown the whistle in the Riverland since. He was in the city in 1989 to add a Diploma in Education to his Arts Degree so that he could turn to teaching, a career that saw him at

rageous decisions”. “I have never got away from that,” he said. “I have paid them as I saw them, no matter where they were”. “I don’t believe a lot of umpires, even at AFL level, have been prepared to do that,” he added. “Add to that, I have probably reported more players than anyone else.” “So, it is probably no wonder I have been a bit unpopular.” But Greg honestly seems satisfied that he “always gave 110 per cent”, no matter whether he was out on the ground or putting in an unbelievable effort as one of the main organisers behind the RFL’s special centenary celebration weekend this year. “And I have a lot of friends, even the players I had to deal with at times; they still come up and have a talk when I run into them”. Why rowing then Reeksy? “I had to do something to give my competitive streak a chance to get over so many years in football,” he said. And he is “loving it”. Greg Reeks – a 660 game veteran umpire now retired – and he will be missed. ■ AWARD: Greg Reeks was awarded life membership of the RFL at the Whillas Medal presentation night in September this year.

St Joseph’s, Barmera, for two years followed by 20 years at St Joseph’s, Renmark. Greg estimates he umpired in around 20 senior RFL finals, including five at A grade level, and six (some absolute thrillers) in the Independents. I asked Greg who some of the best players were that he had seen in our region and he had no hesitation in coming back with ‘Buff’ Tyrell, the legendary Barmera Monash premiership coach. “He was so competitive, clever, a motivator,” he said. Reeksy also mentioned in his best some that had probably “given him a hard time on occasions”: Craig Griffiths, David Crutchfield and Nathan Tape. “They also could not only play but they could motivate team-mates around them,” he said. “I could hear them.” Reeksy, who for a couple of seasons was the RFL umpires panel fitness coach, has not ruled out a return to the scene in an official capacity down the track. And at the risk of him handing me a red card, I felt I had to ask him why he had so often gained the wrath of players, officials and supporters during his long career. Greg spoke of the seminars and the like he had attended over the years, particularly in his role as fitness coach, and the mention of umpires being prepared to make “cou-

Blanchetown/Swan Reach welcomed into Independents on a revised program ■ From Page 44 Mr Zadow said the club was not confident of its future going into Monday night’s meeting but is thankful that Independent clubs have given BSR a “chance to continue playing football and netball
together”. RFL chief executive Mick Beech was delighted that the impasse had been resolved. Concerns about the programming were met following discussions between clubs, while BSR will also have to change its
Softball to split in two
guernsey colours to avoid a clash with established Independent club Wunkar. Next season will feature a 16 match program, as occurred this year. As part of the programming, BSR, which is expected to be a
strong outfit at Independent level, will play each of the top four sides from 2009 twice. Mr Beech said the Independent clubs had been very even handed in their approach during the meeting and were welcoming of the new club’s condition.
“We’re rapt as a competition to have them in there,” Mr Beech said. “If BSR had missed out, they really had nowhere to go. Mr Beech said the RFL will review the conditions of BSR’s entry at the end of next season.
Riverland Junior Grand Slam at Loxton
By BRAD PERRY RIVERLAND softball this week confirmed the competition will split into a four team A grade and five team B grade competition post Christmas, despite mixed feelings from clubs about its current set-up. The nine team senior competition that started this season was successful in keeping teams on the park but Riverland Softball Association secretary Denise Moldovan said concerns were aired about competitiveness across the division. “We wanted to keep the association going, so we had to do it that way,” she said. “There were a few grumbles because some players didn’t want to stand up to the faster pitchers. “Some players took it in their stride and bettered themselves, others didn’t.” Mrs Moldovan said the A grade division would start on January 9 and consist of Loxton A, Berri A, Renmark and Gerard. While the RSA expected criticism about the new structure, Mrs Moldovan said the competition will hold firm. “Everybody knew it was going to happen and have accepted the fact it will happen,” she said. “This season was trial and error. “You either lose it (the competition) and struggle with what we have or compete and take a little bit of pain to keep the association going.” Mrs Moldovan believes next season’s competition will return to the same setup it has had in previous years and hopes the pre-Christmas structure of a joint A and B grade division has not put off players looking to return to the summer sport. Meanwhile, in a blow to local softball, no senior team will play in next year’s country championships following a lack of players willing to participate. “Not enough people wanted to put their hand up and economic circumstances were a factor as well, as it can be an expensive weekend,” Mrs Moldovan said. However, she said local softball has a bright future through its up and coming young stars, who will feature at the under 14 and 19 country championships in Mildura in February.

MURRAY COD FISHERY CLOSED FOR ALL OF 2010 Pursuant to section 79 of the Fisheries Management Act 2007 a closed season has been declared for the taking of Murray Cod, Maccullochella peelii, in all South Australian waters from 1 January until 31 July 2010. This effectively closes the Murray Cod fishery for all of 2010, as the existing seasonal closure still remains, operating from the 1 August until 31 December 2010. The fishery was also closed for all of 2009. The permanent seasonal closure has been implemented by the State Government to ensure the protection of Murray Cod stocks in South Australia. Murray Cod are highly dependant on environmental flows for successful recruitment, but continuing drought conditions across the Murray-Darling Basin have not supported this. Any Murray Cod accidentally caught during the prescribed period must be returned to the water immediately. Fines apply.
ADVICE TO BOAT OPERATORS

By ROB McLEAN FALLING album sales and the influence of downloading may be impacting some of today’s music stars but not Aussie rock act Grinspoon. Frontman Phil Jamieson, who in the past has never been shy of stating exactly how he feels, said his band’s strength has always been in its live performances. “However they get their hands on our music, I don’t care, as long as they check it out and then come and see us play,” Jamieson said. All of this bodes well for Grinspoon fans looking forward to seeing the band at the Big Day Out in Adelaide at the end of next month. “I’m not going to say that selling multi platinum albums wasn’t good but in the end of it all, we’re at an ad-
Sudoku
In the end of it all, we’re at an advantage in that we play very well live.
He said the band will be featuring many songs from its September released album Six To Midnight, while all of the old favourites will also be
back. The album, the band’s sixth, sees Jamieson and the boys in a typically brash and aggressive mood with songs harking back to the glory days of Guide to Better Living and Easy. Things have changed considerably within the music industry, and among the band, since those early days. Jamieson was 19 in 1996 when the band signed its first contract – a contract that did not mention digital media rights, or even need to. However, Jamieson, who is now a father, is happy with his life and where the band’s going at the moment. A statement that is revealing, considering the band’s fractious past. Grinspoon plays the Adelaide Big Day Out on Friday, January 29.

climax than World Idol. 7.20 10.00 What ever happened to the fella 7.30 who won that? 8.00 10.30 2.00 10.40 3.00 What’s that? You don’t care? 8.30 11.40 Same. 12.40 6.10

A grade gets the go ahead

And then there were nine as BSR is...
RIVERLAND BOUND
By ROB McLEAN
■ ALL CLEAR: The Riverland Softball Association has confirmed it will split into a two grade competition after the Christmas break. Full story Page 35.
THE Riverland Football League’s Independent competition now has nine teams after Blanchetown Swan Reach was voted into the competition by the clubs on Monday night.
The decision is a turn around from a week before, when the Independent clubs voted five to three against BSR’s transfer to the competition at the RFL’s annual meeting. BSR club president Peter Zadow said he was a
very happy man to know his club would have a competition to play in next season. “It gives us a future to look forward to,” Mr Zadow said. “It gives our small country town a focus and social
outing.” BSR’s inclusion into the Independent competition follows the successful arrival of fellow former Mid Murray club Ramco in 2009. ■ Continued Page 36
