THE BIG DIGITAL SWITCH

By BRAD PERRY

RIVERLAND residents who have not made the switch from analog to digital television transmissions will today be staring at a fuzzy screen.

In what has been described as a new era, the Riverland and Mallee’s analog signal was turned off yesterday morning and Riverland Digital Switchover liaison officer John Page

is content nearly all of the local community have embraced digital reception.

“It’s 54 years ago that television started in Australia with the analog signal and it’s gradually being turned off Australia wide... it is an end of an era, essentially, and a start of a new era with digital television,” he said.

Irrigator allocations remain at 67 per cent RIVERLAND fruitgrowers will continue to make do with a 67 per cent irrigator allocation, following an announcement made by SA River Murray Minister Paul Caica yesterday.

Mr Caica said the river’s system inflow from June 1 to the end of December is expected to be around 9650 gigalitres, above the long-term average.

“For the first time since 2000-01, South Australia has received five consecutive months of above-average inflow and because catchments remain wet, further rainfall is likely to produce a good run-off,” Mr Caica said.

“The current flow to South Australia is equivalent to the total flow to South Australia over the past three water years, which represents a significant step towards recovery for the River Murray.”

The improved flow conditions in the river have given the state more than 3920 gigalitres this water year.

“There has been a significant turnaround from dry, to average and now to above average inflow conditions in the last 12 months,” Mr Caica said.

Why I live here . . .

ROB McLEAN

Water, water everywhere

Water, water, everywhere. It is hard to avoid the wet stuff at the moment.

If it’s not dropping from the sky, widening the river or spreading across our wetlands, it is being sprinkled in our gardens.

Local garden guru Andrew Walladge questions in today’s gardening column whether we really need to water our gardens so much, even though we now have free reign. And he makes a valid point.

During the water restrictions many of us managed to make our gardens more drought tolerant, so why go back to the old ways?

Meanwhile, there is plenty of water in the river and, depending on who you listen to, there is plenty more to come.

Yesterday State River Murray Minister Paul Caica told us irrigator allocations would remain at 67 per cent, even though the current flow to SA is equivalent to total flow to SA over the past three water years.

Mr Caica tells us the river conditions are improving but not enough for irrigators to get their full allocation.

So, why are we allowing gardeners to go hell for leather again? That seems a little unbalanced to me.

A decision on Yamba cuts put on hold A DECISION to close the overnight roadblock shifts at Yamba has been put on hold until June next year enabling talks to proceed with industry on cost-sharing options.

State agriculture and food minister Michael O’Brien said the original decision to close the night shift was based on advice that risks had been reduced.

“Detections of contaminated fruit have reduced from 16 per 10,000 vehicles in 1970 to less than one per 10,000 vehicles today,” he said.

“Under the Plant Health Act, all importers of fruit and vegetables are now registered with Bio-

security SA. “Each consignment of fruit and vegetables is assessed upon arrival and checked against South Australia’s plant quarantine re-

to ensure the effectiveness of the fruit fly program,” he said.

“I understand that possible industry contributions to the program will be discussed.

This will enable the State Government and industry to consider a partnership approach. quirements.”

Due to industry concerns, Mr O’Brien said the closure of shifts at the Yamba site, which currently operates 24 hours per day, will now be reviewed next year.

“This will enable the State Government and industry to consider a partnership approach

“The postponement will also give time to examine uncertainties about the possible national removal, by March 2011, of dimethoate and fenthion for postharvest use to treat some fruit and vegetables.”

Member for Chaffey Tim Whetstone said fruit fly outbreaks

in New South Wales highlights the risk to the Riverland and importance of maintaining operations at Yamba.

“It simply makes no sense to close the nighshift at Yamba, which will substantially increase the risk to the Riverland’s fruit and vegetables industries,” he said.

“The Minister’s announcement in October that it would close the nightshifts was effectively an attempt to bully our horticultural industries into paying for a service which has always been a government responsibility.

“South Australia’s quarantine regime cannot be compromised.”

The voters roll for this supplementary election will close at 5.00pm on 31 December 2010.

You are entitled to vote in the election if you are on the State electoral roll and you have recently: • turned 18; or • changed your residential or postal address.

You may provisionally enrol if you are 17 years of age.

If you turn 18 on or before the close of voting on 15 March 2011, you will be enrolled to vote.

Electoral Enrolment forms are available from www.ecsa.sa.gov.au or post offices.

If you are not eligible to enrol on the State electoral roll you may still be eligible to enrol to vote if you own or occupy a property. More information about eligibility and enrolling to vote for council elections is available by contacting your council.

Nominations to fill the vacancies will open on Thursday 27 January 2011 and will be received up until 12 noon on Thursday 10 February 2011.

The election will be conducted entirely by post with the return of ballot material to reach the Deputy Returning Officer no later than 12 noon on 15 March 2011.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Christmas support I WOULD like to sincerely thank the residents of the Riverland, schools, church groups and individuals who so lovingly and generously supported Operation Christmas Child again this year.

A total of 574 shoeboxes were collected from the Riverland, being a wonderful effort considering current difficulties experienced in this region.

Riverlanders once again, opened their hearts to provide children in Cambodia, who have never received gifts before, to be given a box of love this Christmas.

This is such a joy and blessing for them.

A special thank you to Dennis Hentschke, of Hentschke Transport, for transporting the 32 large cartons to Adelaide.

Your generosity is very much appreciated.

Thank you also to Beth and Geoff Haddon for their support and encouragement since taking on this role.

Beth has been involved with Operation Christmas Child for the past 12 years and has been inspirational as co-ordinator over these years.

If any readers would like to know more about the work of Operation Christmas Child, I would be happy to hear from them and can be contacted on 8584 5505.

Thanking you once again Riverland.

Julie Fielke, Regional co-ordinator, Operation Christmas Child.

Flood thanks AS HARD as it is to accept and come to terms with the devastation of my home and all that occurred last Wednesday, I take this chance to send with such love and gratitude, my many thanks to all who helped with my home.

For all the family, especially my parents (Trevor and Heather) whom were there at midnight, my cousin Steven, brother Bronte, Tina, close family, friends and

other community members.

I wish to thank all whom took time off their normal duties to help retrieve what they could from my home – the loss is overwhelming and truly shattering.

I felt so helpless at this traumatic time as I commute to work in Tiwi Islands for fortnightly blocks and was unable to fly home to assist where every minute counted.

I will feel forever indebted to everyone who helped my housemate Steven and I. Even though I have lost so much and so many sentimental belongings, I feel totally humbled; knowing I have so many amazing people in my life.

From the Loxton/Waikerie Council; Tom Murch and Deputy Mayor Mark Ward – thank you for your support...so much appreciated.

Tom Avery - words cannot express how grateful I am for everything you have done to assist me with the twice flooding of my home.

I must thank all who have sent touching messages, emails and calls, offering their help and support - it has touched me.

My thoughts go to all those around Australia who have experienced the devastation of their homes, which are now severely damaged or destroyed from these horrific storms; my heart aches for you all as well – you’re not alone in this.

I will fly home in coming days and face my nightmare.

Life goes on and I will need to move forward with strong positivity and hope I will be able to rebuild what I can and move back to the house I had created a home.

In the meantime, I thank my Mum and Dad for welcoming me back into their family home.

Once again, a massive thank you to all who were involved in helping my family, Steven and I. Donna Manuel, Loxton.

Excellent report I JUST wanted to touch base with you and thank the Riverland Weekly for the excellent stories in the December 2, 2010, edition regarding general practice.

We were particularly pleased that the stories focusing on overseas trained medical personnel (international medical graduates – IMGs) and the manner with which they have been supported and welcomed into the Riverland community. Accep-

tance and welcome by the community are critical in ensuring the success of IMGs’ integration and continuing contribution to the Riverland.

Also of note was the confirmation for the community to seek medical assistance early for acute illness and planning for regular check-ups.

Demand on GP appointments continues to be an issue but if we can provide the community with education on how to effectively access GP appointments everyone will benefit.

Thank you again for the support of the Riverland Weekly for our general practices and particularly our IMGs. Bron Marie, Chief executive, Riverland Division of GP.

Seen it before I HAD a wee chuckle at last week’s front page Once in a lifetime floods.

That might be so for those who haven’t lived in the Riverland or Murraylands long but we have seen this before.

This same event happened back in the early 90s, with Blanchetown recording close to six inches and Waikerie recording far more, so much so kids were canoeing on one of the sporting grounds.

Interesting to note that this all happened 20 years ago, around the same time that we had high rivers.

Back in the early 80s we saw massive flooding also, so much so that the Truro bridge was washed away and parts of the Sturt Highway, while Lake Short had skiers on it.

I know all of this because I keep records of any and all of the major weather events, even the river flow that comes into our state.

So my advice is prepare for more because if history is correct then we will see more rain within the next month.

Gavin Abraham, Blanchetown.

Santa cheering I WOULD like to thank the people of Barmera and the organisers of the Christmas Pageant for their support given to a great event.

I had a delightful time, as I always do at Barmera.

A special thanks must go to the Barmera Men’s Shed boys for the work they did on my sleigh this year.

Thanks guys, it was great!

I wish all the Riverland people a very happy and safe Christmas and ask the girls and boys to help mum and dad and take care of each other.

Happy Christmas Everyone!

Santa Claus, North Pole.

Misguided beliefs To Janette Staehr (Riverland Weekly, December 1), your objection to gay marriage seems to be based on the misguided belief that marriage was created by Christian religions.

Marriage has always been an evolving cultural ritual.

For most of human history, marriage has been seen as a union between one man and several women.

Marriage has also been recognised as a union between two men (as in ancient Rome, where marriages between aristocratic males were once recognised by law).

Or as a union between two siblings (as in medieval Europe, when valuable property was at stake).

It is historical fact that Christian religions originally decried marriage.

Saint Paul himself, in his letter to the Corinthians said: “It is not good for a man to touch a woman” and “I would that all men were even as myself” (celibate).

He instructed those who were unmarried to never marry and those who were divorced or widowed to abstain from remarrying.

“Art thou loosed from a wife?

Seek not a wife.”

For the first thousand years or so of Christianity, the church regarded monogamous, legal marriage as marginally less wicked than prostitution.

The Christian authorities failed at eliminating marriage.

So in an attempt to retain control, the powerbrokers in Christian churches co-opted marriage.

They have been successful in fooling people like you into thinking it was their idea and that it must be done their way.

One thing you said which is correct; is that marriage (i.e. familial constancy and stability) is beneficial to children.

Given that gay men and women raise children, why would you seek to deny these children the same optimum conditions you would wish on the children of straight, married couples?

Get more of our wines on the table this Xmas

By BRAD PERRY

AS the Riverland continues to develop its reputation as a high quality wine producer, residents are being encouraged to take a bottle of the local drop to Christmas dinners this year.

Whether staying in the Riverland or heading outside of the region for Christmas, the Riverland Wine Industry Development Council wants local wine to feature prominently during festive activities.

RWIDC industry development officer Tim Smythe said in the past the region has been recognised for security and supply rather than the quality of its wines and hopes that will change this Christmas.

“It appears the greatest battle in presenting Riverland wine to the market is perception; getting the wine in the glass and having someone prepared to taste it is not always as easy as it sounds,” he said.

“If you are going to dinner somewhere there is no problem in bringing a Riverland wine along.

“We need to be actively breaking down those barriers within our own peer groups and circle of friends.

“The challenge for the Riverland community is to get out there and explore the wines of the region, find the ones that resonate and sell the story of the Riverland.

“Take some Riverland produce along and introduce other people to it because that’s half the problem sometimes, getting people to taste it because they’ve got pre-con-

ceived ideas about what Riverland produce is.

“We need to get out there and give them a reason to change their mind about what they think it is.”

Mr Smythe said the region is “kicking some goals” when it comes to wines being recognised on a national stage.

“The food and wine culture is starting to be more widely recognised within the region,” he said.

ton Estate’s Donna Hartwig winning a young winemaker award for her local drop and Salena Estate’s three trophies, including Best Wine of Show, at the Australian Alternative Varieties Wine Show.

“There’s a growing movement that is exploring non-mainstream varieties (Banrock Station, Oakworks, Omersown etc.) and bringing diversity to our offering,” Mr Smythe said.

“This diversity is set to be celebrated by the Riverland Alternative Wine Group when they bring a group of esteemed wine writers (including Max Allen, James Halliday, Sally Gudgeon and Jane Faulkner) and brand managers to the region to see exactly what we’re capable of.

“The pebble has been thrown in the water, the ripples are growing and people should be proud of what’s happening in the Riverland.”

The Advertiser’s Top 100 Australian wines liftout recently featured two of 919 Wines’ varieties, along with a bottle of Angoves riesling.

Eric Semmler, winemaker for 919 Wines, also encouraged people to bring a bottle of local wine to Christmas celebrations this year.

“I think it’s a great way for the Riverland to promote our region and to share the exciting variety of products we have from our region,” he said.

“We are as capable of, and have been, producing top quality wines just as good as from any other region.”

The pebble has been thrown in the water, the ripples are growing.

“For the first time in our history you can go to some restaurants in Adelaide and find there is a recognised Riverland wine on the list.

“There are small victories out there, we just have to continue to make quality wines and get them in front of people and have them recognised.

“The more we do that, then the more confidence people have in putting Riverland on their brand and on their menus.”

The Riverland has had a spate of award winners this year with Kings-

Homes invaded by pests

By BRAD PERRY

IDEAL weather conditions have given a range of pests and rodents the chance to invade homes across the Riverland, as pest controllers struggle to keep up with the demand to eradicate them.

While many types of spiders are generally present in local homes, Casey’s Pest Control’s

Ray Snodgrass said the emergence of a large number of redbacks is concerning.

“There are a lot of redbacks because the conditions (wet and humid) are ideal for them,” he said.

“They are just breeding up.

“We are just inundated with spider works in and around houses at the moment.”

Child sex offender jailed A MAN who pleaded guilty in the Adelaide District Court to a number of sex offences committed against young children in the Loxton and Wunkar areas has received a 14 year sentence, with a nine year non-parole period.

The offences were committed between 1975 and last year, with the victims being the offender’s daughter, three nieces and a family friend.

In his sentencing remarks, Judge Barry Beazley took into account the offender’s early guilty plea.

“Now you face the immediate consequence of imprisonment and, of course, the longerterm difficulties in resuming a normal life after serving that sentence,” Judge Beazley said.

“You have robbed your five victims of their innocence, depriving them of the right to a happy childhood.

“Had it not been for your pleas of guilty, your co-operation with the police, your lack of criminal antecedents and all of the other matters favourable to you, I would have sentenced you to imprisonment for 18 years.

“I reduce that head sentence on account of those factors to a head sentence of imprisonment for 14 years.”

The 53 year old offender grew up on a farm and left school at the age of 15, before becoming a member of the Australian regular army prior to eventually returning to SA and serving with the Army Reserve for about five years.

He also served in the Loxton SES and as a voluntary worker in the Murray Darling Action Group.

The offender was arrested in Two Wells on April 23, with the sentence commencing from that date. The man’s lawyer did not seek a suspended sentence.

Mental health services boost

By ROB McLEAN

THE Federal Government’s recent backdown on a plan to remove social workers and occupational therapists from Medicare is a significant boost for regional areas such as the Riverland, according to a local mental health professional.

The move would have seen rural people, who have less access to mental health services and counselling, severely disadvantaged.

Riverland based mental health social worker Ruth Strout said that given the many issues faced by the local community at the current time, the cuts would have been devastating.

Mrs Strout is one of only two professionals in the region with whom clients can bulk bill their consult.

“We couldn’t afford to lose anymore,” she said.

The government reversal means Mrs Strout will be able to continue working as an independent mental health worker in the region.

“It (the decision) means that we are retaining a couple of very experienced social workers that might otherwise have been out of work,” she said.

“I’m very relieved for the region.

“The need is greater than what’s available, so to keep anything is highly valuable.”

The successful campaign against the budget cuts was run by the Australian Association of Social Workers.

Mrs Strout said the campaign highlighted to the government the role mental health social workers play within the community.

Motor trade career options South Australian school leavers will soon be looking at what to do in 2011, due to the end of the school year.

The Motor Trade Association of South Australia is calling for students that are yet to decide to consider a career in the many trades offered through the South Australian motor industry.

MTA SA executive director John Chapman said there are hundreds of apprenticeships, traineeships and jobs available throughout the industry.

“Many students who finish school are now considering an apprenticeship as their chosen career path,” Mr Chapman said.

“The fact that apprentices can earn cold hard cash while they are gaining the necessary skills and qualifications is a great incentive.

“And with workshops now cleaner and safer than ever before, and plenty of jobs available, a career in the motor trades is really the smart choice for many South Australians.”

The Motor Trade Association of South Australia’s Group Training Scheme in Royal Park has undergone a

$3 million upgrade in 2010 to include a dedicated light and heavy vehicle workshop.

“The upgrade of our training facility at Royal Park means that apprentices will receive training in a stateof-the-art facility,” Mr Chapman said.

“Once the students have finished their training they will be better prepared having learnt the latest techniques and using the latest technologies available at our facility.”

The MTA offers a range of apprenticeships for school leavers and people looking for a new career challenge.

Apprenticeships are offered for motor mechanics (light and heavy vehicle), panel beaters, vehicle painters, auto electricians and parts interpreters.

“In addition to our core apprenticeships available, 2011 will see the MTA develop a training course on servicing of electric and hybrid vehicles,” Mr Chapman said.

“This will be an Australian first and will help prepare South Australia for the pending influx of electric vehicles over the next decade.”

Certificate II Traineeships are also available.

RETURNING to your boiling hot car after a shopping expedition can make a trip to your local shopping centre a bit of a chore.

However, for shoppers at the Riverland Central Plaza, that is no longer the case with work recently being completed on the first section of shade sails over

the carpark.

Construction of the shade structures is expected to be completed in late February with centre managing agent Savills Australia providing production maintenance.

Savills’ property manager Renae Taylor said the construction should make the plaza competitive with other local centres.

“It includes providing a more pleasing shopping experience for our customers in the summer season,” Ms Taylor said.

“From a tourist pointof-view, it stands out from a distance.”

Along with the construction, the plaza carpark is set to become much safer with the relevelling of the bitumen surface.

“I think it will give the plaza a fresh, uplifting look,” Ms Taylor said.

Plaza caretaker Eddie Downs hopes the new shelter will provide comfortable and convenient shopping.

“We’re really grateful for it,” Mr Downs said. “There really is nothing worse than coming back to a car that’s 46 degrees inside.”

Rains spike disease threat

By BRAD PERRY

WINEGRAPE growers are bracing for further rains and a lack of chemical support as the spread of fungal diseases continues to threaten vineyards ahead of the 2011 vintage.

With over 100 millimetres of rain last week prompting further need, the main chemical used to fight diseases such as downy mildew, Ridomil, is out of stock nation wide.

Consolidated Co-operative Wineries viticulturist Andrew Weeks said while most Riverland growers survived last week’s torrential rainfall without primary infection from downy mildew, the fight is not over.

“That rain didn’t cause as many problems as we initially feared in that it doesn’t look like it was suitable for a primary infection,” he said.

“There was still the danger of secondary infection, which means any grower who had existing active downy in their vineyards was probably at risk.

“What we are seeing is some growers have pretty well either got, or had, downy mildew during this season.”

Mr Weeks said he hopes supplies of metalaxyl liquid, the active ingredient in Ridomil, will soon reach the region.

“There are, I think, more supplies of metalaxyl chemical coming in and some suppliers are finding alternatives.

“The industry has successfully applied for an emergency permit for metalaxyl liquid.

“In the absence of this chemical, the only real option growers have is

to continue to try and protect their vines with a suitable protective preinfection fungicide.”

Downy mildew is no longer the main concern for Riverland vineyards with increasing reports of powdery mildew on vines throughout the region and the unusual threat from botrytis rot.

“We normally do get powdery mildew in the Riverland but very, very rarely get problems with botrytis rot this early in the season,” Mr Weeks said.

“If there are rains again and it stays wet and moist, it’s likely botrytis will really start to affect some of the early harvested varieties which are now starting to accumulate sugar.

“That fungus feeds off sugar and that could be a really big problem for some growers.”

At this stage of the season, Mr Weeks said the diseases are “unfolding along worst fears”.

Locusts not yet a problem for grapegrowers

Some growers have either got, or had, downy mildew during this season.

With weekend showers predicted, more heavy rain could have a devastating impact.

“That would just reset the clock as far as disease problems go, especially growers who have active downy mildew growing on their blocks,” Mr Weeks said.

“It would create problems for many people in that it could wash off some chemical and therefore leave the vines vulnerable to a reinfection.

“It would also create additional problems for powdery mildew which doesn’t need rain but in humid weather it grows much faster and now that vines are growing out to their full size, it can fester and grow really, really rapidly inside vine canopies.

LOCUSTS are on the wing and hovering in numbers around many vineyards across the Riverland but according to Mr Weeks, have not yet caused any extensive damage.

“I haven’t heard any reports and I haven’t seen any evidence of locusts attacking grapevines at this stage,” he said.

“We really don’t know what’s going to happen.

“At the moment, even areas where they are quite numerous and flying around and you end up with a large number hitting the car and hitting you when you are walking through vineyards, they don’t seem to be actively feeding in the vine canopies.”

Water taxis and trains mooted as local transport options

MEMBERS of the Riverland community believe the region could be better equipped with transport options, including water taxis and a train service.

At a recent Youth Affairs Council of South Australia (YACSA) Think Tank in Berri, highlighting regional transport issues for young people, the community voiced concern about the lack of options to move between towns.

Executive director Anne Bainbridge said YACSA was able to take several points and ideas from the meeting.

“The Think Tank focused on solutions and so most of the people that were there

thought that a good place to start was to make better use of existing resources in the region,” she said.

“People talked about how they could use school buses or government vehicles that are sitting idle during the day or on the weekends.

“It would be good to have a comprehensive public transport system that offered a range of options for people, for example, somebody brought up the idea of having a water taxi seeing the water is right there.”

Those who participated identified a range of short, medium and long term transport solutions including making better use of buses and government

cars out of hours and conducting audits of existing services and the way they are promoted.

There were also suggestions from those in attendance, which included young people, youth and community sector workers and local and state government representatives, to look at alternative options to move around the Riverland towns, such as regular bus and train services, subsidies for taxis, co-ordinated car pooling and safe bike lanes.

The information from the meeting will be collated and YACSA will consult with its membership to develop a plan to progress the issues.

Next generation of green thumbs get a start IN the past, Loxton Primary School has made sure its students did not go without fruit and vegetables and a glass of water a day.

In an exciting new venture, Loxton Primary has won funding to take part in the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program, along with four other schools around the state and many others across the country.

The program, to be introduced next year, will see an additional vegetable garden planted at the school to promote healthy eating.

Principal Paul Rowe said the school took part in the program as it is something the students can enjoy doing, and gives the school a healthy look.

“We started a small garden at the school and we’ve

been doing cooking for sometime,” Mr Rowe said.

“We’ve got a good group of parents who were all willing to assist.

“What we are going to do is refurbish our canteen into a kitchen and the kids can get produce from the garden they will grow.”

Mr Rowe said the garden is important in making a change in the children’s lives.

“We live in a world where kids tend to go for fast food and frozen foods,” he said.

“I think the parents are starting to realise having a small vegetable garden is a good thing.”

The school’s garden will see fruits, vegetables and herbs grown all year round.

“In summer, autumn, winter and spring, we’re fitting the vegetables in with the seasons,” Mr Rowe said.

The kitchen and garden

are expected to be fully operational next year.

Meanwhile, a community garden is to be established at the Berri Church of Christ after an agreement with Riverland Respite and Recreation Service Inc. After nearly a year’s worth of negotiations, the two groups hope to bring the community together through the common interest of gardening and, like Loxton Primary School, hopes to promote healthy eating.

Church pastor Roger Risson said the negotiations for the garden were underway when he arrived in the region in April.

“I can’t take credit for it but I am so happy to run with it,” Pastor Risson said.

“It is another example of the church being in the community and not a community of its own.”

■ LETTER: The letter Glen Kelly sent to Margaret Hepper as a youngster.

Festive cheer at Barmera Christmas carols IT is that time of the year when the Barmera community gathers for the ever popular carols evening.

Held at the Bonney Lodge grounds this Sunday, starting at 7pm, Riverlanders are encouraged to attend and spread the festive cheer.

The evening incorporates carol singing led by some choristers and accompanied by the Four Jericho Brothers on keyboard, trumpet, violin and flute.

A christmas message, readings and items will take place at the event, described as the highlight of the year for many residents.

The not-for-profit event has been running for about 30 years and a gold coin donation is voluntary on the night with money raised going towards the Riverland Christmas Appeal.

Patrons are being asked to bring their own chairs, with access to the event off Hawdon Street.

For a great nights head down to the Barmera carols.

Glen delivers

SIXTY-TWO years ago, a young Lameroo boy named Glen Kelly sent a food parcel to Dunkeld, Scotland to a young girl named Margaret Hepper.

It was three years after World War II and Glen’s primary school class had been sending food parcels to the United Kingdom to help the country recover.

Not long after sending the parcel, Glen received a letter from Dunkeld thanking him for the parcel and also reading, “we don’t get

many sweets for our coupons and you have no idea how thankful we were to get them”.

Tips for looking after your pet cat ROSEDALE MEATS

IT is a good idea to feed your cat a variety of wet, dry and raw food, so you ensure it gets all the required nutritions.

Your cat should have a small breakfast and a reasonably small dinner, while through the day, allow it to have a daily dose of dry food.

Make sure you do not overfeed your cat and give it plenty of water to drink.

Contrary to people’s beliefs, cats should not drink cow’s milk.

Cats can be wanderers and if your backyard has a lot of weeds and scrub, make sure they do not go too far into it, as it may be home to snakes.

Keep your cats away from roads and do not let them go outside without regularly checking up on them or keeping them in an enclosed environment.

Do you really need sprinklers?

By ANDREW WALLADGE

Matthew Sullivan Lawn Management Services

MUCH has been written recently regarding the pros and cons of sprinklers and drippers.

I’m going to buy into the debate only to point out that the whole idea of irrigation is to deliver water to plant roots efficiently.

Splashing it about and throwing water into the air just can’t do the job as efficiently as well designed drip irrigation systems delivering water just above, or at, ground level, or

even under ground for lawns.

Thus drippers will leave more water in the river and more money in your pocket.

The main consideration coming into summer after such a wet and cool spring is not so much how you get water to your precious high water use plants but being aware that almost all garden plants will be very ‘soft’ and prone to wilting on the first warm day.

The temptation is to whack the watering on to apparently revive them ready for yet another

Discipline matters when saving for the future

By AMP Financial Planner Veronica Rutherford* WHEN it comes to saving money, it is not all about how much a person earns but how disciplined they are at achieving their financial goals.

As the latest AMP.NATSEM Income and Wealth Report: Saving Tomorrow reveals, people on high incomes are not always those who save the most, and in many cases the opposite is true.

The report, which examines the savings and spending patterns of Australians, reveals that while some high income earners (those with an annual after-tax disposable income of $86,800 or more) are managing to save over $39,000 each year, the typical person in this income group saves just $8060 per year, or 10.4 per cent of their disposable income, because of their spending habits and access to credit.

Astonishingly, a quarter of working Australians are spending the equivalent of all of their income plus one-third more.

In fact, the typical working Australian is saving less than $6 per week of their $820 per week after-tax income.

No matter how much money people might be earning, this new data highlights the need for people to take a good hard look at how much they have and how to make this money work harder for them.

The cornerstone of good financial management for all income earners is having a budget.

Without a budget, there is no real

â– CUT BACK: Cutting back on take away coffees could help you save more money for your retirement nest egg.

■With grocery shopping, where possible, buy on sale and in bulk. Go to the supermarket armed with a shopping list so you only buy what you actually need and avoid unnecessary purchases. Also, avoid convenience shopping – convenience comes at a premium. ■Plan weekly menus before shopping to avoid a fridge full of wilted vegetables at the end of the week. Also plan to shop only once a week or fortnight, rather than several times, as this will reduce impulse buying. ■Save considerable amounts of money by paying bills annually up-front, such as car registration and insurance, rather than fortnightly or monthly.

way of knowing how much is left at the end of the week to use to invest, pay off a mortgage or reduce debt.

With the help of a financial planner, people can establish a savings plan for long, medium and shortterm goals and strategically use any excess funds to their best advantage.

For starters, getting back to basics and making some small lifestyle adjustments will go a long way to helping people keep more money in their hip pocket and boost their savings.

Here are a few other simple tips on how to start saving, no matter how much you earn: ■Pack a picnic and save on high food bills at family sports and other major events. ■For coffee drinkers, cut back on take-away coffees – after all, $3 to $4 per coffee soon adds up each week.

â– Careful use of credit cards can actually save people money.

Think about using your credit card for everyday spending, but be careful to make monthly payments before the due date. *Veronica Rutherford is an Authorised Representative of AMP Financial Planning Pty Ltd, ABN 89 051 208 327, AFS Licence No. 232706.

Hospital’s history recalled

By CALLUM TRIFONOFF

CELEBRATING a century of service to the Riverland, a book detailing the memories of the Loxton Hospital’s foundation was released last week.

At a celebration in Loxton’s East Terrace, the hospital launched the book, titled The Loxton Hospital: Our Community Legacy, with Loxton

Health Advisory Committee chairman Ruth Firstbrook describing it as an emotional and fantastic day. “It felt fitting to document the 100 years the hospital has seen, so we put our hands in our pockets and came up with the idea,� she said. “Peter and Carla Magarey, who worked on the book, did so well and they worked on it

for over a year.�

On the day of the centenary celebration, Mrs Firstbrook announced a fundraising campaign to sell benches for $1000 to be located around the hospital site. “People can purchase the benches in memory of loved ones, or for a number of other reasons, like just contributing to the hospital,� she said.

PINNAROO PAGEANT

Festive season magic comes to Pinnaroo T

HE magic of the festive season will come to life at Pinnaroo tomorrow night, with the town’s annual Christmas pageant.

With much success in recent years, tomorrow’s pageant has loads of entertainment on offer.

Co-ordinator Sharon Phelps said the build-up to the pageant has been fantastic. “So far it’s been good, it’s always been great in recent years,� Mrs Phelps said. “This year, we have a lot on offer, especially for the kids and we have received a lot of enquiries. “We have jumping castles, a giant slide, a Christmas tree and Santa Claus will also be coming. “I think people will enjoy having a good time out at a really enjoyable show.�

The recent bad weather has not dampened the spirits of the folks at Pinnaroo and Mrs Phelps said the pageant will go on. “We just have to hope the weather will go in our favour,� she said. “Rain or shine, we’ll do it anyway, but we would definitely prefer it not to rain, of course.�

Mrs Phelps said the night is special as it is held in the true Christmas spirit. “Well, it really is a time for families, and for the town of Pinnaroo, to come together and celebrate the festive season,� she said. “We’re hoping for a fine night of entertainment.�

The pageant will commence at 7pm at the Pinnaroo Oval and it is promising to be a great show.

We’ve got around 17 floats this year, so it should be a good night.

Lameroo gets ready for big Christmas celebrations LAMEROO is set for a bonanza of Christmas entertainment this week, with the local pageant taking place tomorrow night.

The pageant will see plenty of thrills and fun activities for the kids, with Santa Claus also coming to town.

While there have been no new major additions to the pageant line-up this year, the viewing of a movie for children, the float parade and the jumping castle will be highly anticipated.

The line-up is also expected to see a local pilot fly-by, which had positive reviews and drew a large crowd response in previous pageants.

Organiser Chris Mead said

all involved in the pageant set-up are very much looking forward to the night.

“We’ve got a lot on offer, especially for the kids,” Mr Mead said.

“Last year, we had around 130 children who got to sit on Santa’s knee and ask what they wanted for Christmas.

“All the stalls, face painting, fake tattoos and the whole pageant should be the big attractions, not just for the kids but for everyone.”

With success in previous pageants, Mr Mead is confident the show can get the same reception this year, if not better.

“The more people we get coming the better, I guess it de-

Unbelievable buying D

O YOU believe it? I don’t believe it.

For just $35,000 you can own this one acre allotment, one of the closest rural living allotments to the Loxton town centre.

Only a short two kilometres from the main roundabout, this property is serviced with power and water and as an additional bonus also includes an original storage shed (approx six x nine metres) and with a bit of a tidy up would serve you well for many years to come.

This is the ideal

compromise where the wife wants to live in town and husband wants to live out of town (you would be surprised how many times I hear that), you get the best of both worlds, only one kilometre from the outskirts of the residential area, while offering you the extra space you need for pets, garden etc.

The vendor said it must sell now and has agreed to sell at the extraordinarily low price of just $35,000.

NIGEL FIDDLER

Locals’ date with Iron Jay

By CALLUM TRIFONOFF

WE all know deep down, no matter how tough a wrestler may look, they all have a good side.

That can certainly be said about Australian cult-hero wrestler Benny Coles, known more commonly by his stage name Iron Jay. Waikerie couple Julia and Brian Coats, their son Chad and Brian’s sister Kathrine Traeger found Iron Jay to be a modest, down-to-earth country boy when they had dinner with him at the Blanc Restaurant in North Adelaide recently.

The opportunity to have dinner with the wrestler came about by chance as Julia’s friend Anne Sandow, of Ramco, originally won a competition organised by frozen fish company I&J to have a night out with him but could not attend.

Therefore, Anne passed the prize on to Julia, who was more than happy

to attend.

Prior to the dinner, Julia researched the popular wrestler.

“I saw his mum and dad’s interview on the internet and they seemed like really nice people,” Julia said.

“We had a lot to talk about; the Riverland, the situation with the water here and family.

“The restaurant was fantastic and the food was wonderful, it was just a great evening out.”

Julia said before the o pportunity came along, she had never taken any interest in wrestling and had never heard of Iron Jay. “No, not in the slightest, it’s so put on,” she laughed.

“He said ‘yes it is choreographed but there is an element of risk about it’.

“One time, he went through the wrestling ropes and badly hurt his shoulder.”

Julia said she will be keeping an eye on Iron Jay’s progress from now on.

■ MUSCLES: Julia (left), Brian and Chad Coats and Brian’s sister Katherine Traeger enjoyed meeting with wrestler Iron Jay in Adelaide recently.

The quartet had the opportunity to meet the wrestler thanks to Ramco’s Anne Sandow, who won the I&J promotion.

Hyundai sweeps Best Car awards AUSTRALIA’S seven state and territory based motoring clubs have recognised three Hyundai models as class-winners in the 2010 Australia’s Best Car national awards.

The Hyundai i30 SX has been named Australia’s ‘Best Small Car Under $35,000’ and the Hyundai iMax was named Australia’s ‘Best People Mover’.

Joining these two hree time class winners is the all new i20 Active, named ‘Best Light Car Under $20,000’ in its first year on sale.

Following an exhaustive evaluation and assessment process focusing on three main criteria; ‘Value for Money’,

‘Design and Function’ and ‘On the Road Performance’, the Australia’ss ng Best Cars national judging panel awarded the Hyundai vehicles from a field of more than 300 original competitors.

“Hyundai has matured as a company and is now a real competitor to many of the Japanese and European manufacturers,’’ Australia’s Best Cars chief judge Mark Borlace said.

“As a first effort in this category, the new i20 has been able to punch ahead of other competitors including the Volkswagen Polo, which in itself is a pretty good effort in a very competitive

“ “The iMax is a true people mover th it can move eight adults and in that their luggage and is genuinely a practil, versatile v cal, family car,” Mr Borlace said.

“The Hyundai team is delighted that the i30 SX and iMax have won their respective classes for a third consecutive year,” Hyundai Motor Company Australia marketing director Oliver Mann said.

“A win for the new i20 Active is further acknowledgement of Hyundai’s leadership in delivering award-winning design, performance and value.”

market.”

The i30 SX and iMax have won their respective classes for the past three straight years.

The i30 SX received consistently high ratings across almost all the judging criteria. “i30 has established itself in the small car market and is now genuinely the car to beat,” Mr. Borlace said, Eight seat capacity and plenty of luggage space behind the third row, a well thought out interior and a reassuring five years unlimited kilometre warranty make iMax Australia’s ‘Best People Mover’.

Tavern Talk ■ EASY: You don’t have to go out back to find the perfect gift for your 4WD enthusiast this Christmas.

Searching for the best gifts for the 4WD enthusiast

By DANNY HANRAHAN WELL it’s that time of year again when, amongst other things, we search the shops for a Christmas gift for that person who has everything.

Here are three of the best gift ideas for the 4WDing and outdoor person.

1. Robert Pepper’s 4WD Handbook - The Complete Guide To How 4WDs Work And How To Drive Them Offroad ($39): Quite simply, a 4WD bible.

This book is a one-stop, bestof-breed manual for the maintenance and off-road driving of any suitable vehicle in any condition – covering vehicle selection, preparation, driving theory and techniques, trip planning, navigation, communications, gear selection and set-up, recovery and survival, and maintenance.

Illustrated in full colour, the photographs are a mix of both

inspirational trip shots from around Australia and practical images highlighting various aspects covered in the book.

Written in 2009-2010, the book covers the latest vehicles and accessories.

2. Hema’s 4WD Raster Map Collection DVD ($179): Features Australia-wide coverage and includes more than 60 regional maps plus the entire Geoscience 1:250k Mosaic Series.

Calculate route distances, bearings and positions; customise the maps with text labels; create your own map features; print maps or map excerpts to your specifications; link map positions to external files; and read the informative text and photos section.

The 2010 edition of this extremely popular product features the following Hema maps: Cape York, Desert Tracks, High Country Victoria, Kimberley, Simpson Desert, Top End and Gulf, Flinders Ranges to mention just a few.

The Australia 4WD Raster Map Collection comes with OziExplorer’s OziLite Map Viewer Software to start your digital journey.

Team up the map files with your own image-based mapping software for maximum ‘map-ability’.

The software on this disk is compatible with Windows-based PCs as well as Macs running Virtual PC. The DVD comes complete with a digital version of the information that is found on the reverse of the paper maps, plus product information pages and a registration screen.

3. The Handpresso Wild ($99): If you are a coffee addict and need a good fix when you are out bush, then the Handpresso Wild is for you.

It is the world’s first portable espresso machine you can hold in your hand.

This is the main concept.

Being small, it can easily be

stored in a drawer, a bag, its case or hung with the kitchenware.

The other main concept is that the Handpresso Wild requires no batteries, nor electricity.

Compact and light (460 grams), it uses 10 times less raw materials.

It is built to last as the durability constraints have been taken into account in the whole development work.

It makes real espresso using 16 bar pressure to force water through the coffee in about 30 seconds.

It has all the basic qualities to make a premium quality coffee anywhere.

It is available in either a pod or ground coffee version.

The Handpresso collection also includes the outdoor set, which is a stylish bag along with the Handpresso unit, a 300 millilitres thermos flask, four unbreakable espresso cups and napkins.

Take it with you on holiday, weekend trips, camping or for everyday use.

Now for a Christmas bonus that might just save your life.

This is my gift to you and your family.

The Traffic Accident Commission (TAC) has been around for 20 years and has put together a montage of their accident prevention advertisements from this time.

Be warned, it is graphic and hard hitting.

Do yourself a favour and sit the family down and have a look, especially if you have any younger drivers that think they are invincible. Remember that feeling.

The five minute video can be found by Googling TAC 20 year montage and check out the YouTube video or go to http://www. tacsafety.com.au Thank you for your support and I wish you all a Merry Christmas and have a great 2011.

Cars in the news

John’s Daimler turns heads

By BRAD PERRY

CARS from the 1950s are not only rare to see but when you do spot one, they certainly make you stop and stare.

Barmera resident John English is the proud owner of a 1957 Daimler Century and judging by the polished look of this European car, there is no wonder it is his pride and joy.

When John cruises the Riverland streets, his ride turns heads.

“It’s fairly unique and belongs to a certain era,” he said.

“There is no doubt it’s a head turner.”

John’s Daimler was not always in the pristine condition it is today, with it taking many long hours to be restored.

“I heard it was for sale in a terrible state...and ended up buying it with some sort of fears,” he said.

However, after stripping the classic car and restoring it both externally and internally, John said he could not have been more happier with the final result.

“We stripped it right down to its last bolt,” he said.

“It was one of the last few made by the company.

“It (the 1957 Dailmer) suited my opinion of cars.”

The six cylinder, 2.5 litre motor gives the car enough power for a Sunday cruise and has been John’s inspiration into his continued restoration of vintage vehicles.

“It’s the first one I was ever involved in restoring,” he said.

Currently rebuilding a 1955 Riley Pathfinder and with plans to restore a 1947 KB International

truck in the new year, John will have a busy festive season.

John is also president of the Riverland Vintage and Classic Car Club which was formed in 1970 and now has more than 150 members.

CHARLIE’S SPORTS GOSS WITH GRAHAM CHARLTON

T Riverland’s most authoritative sports commentator ...

The

Wise words at hockey reunion

■ SOMETIMES we use the term ‘legend’ a bit loosely but in the case of Dennis Meredith, 66, who will be the guest speaker at the reunion of players from the Upper Murray Men’s Hockey Association prior to 1975, the description is certainly appropriate.

Meredith’s resume is exceptional but it is a statement at its conclusion that really caught my attention.

“His contribution to hockey in SA is unique and unparalleled.

“Whilst he has reached the very elite level in all aspects of international hockey as a player, umpire and administrator, he has never forgotten his grass roots in this state both at club and SA level.

“His contribution to the sport in SA in particular has been outstanding and ongoing for the past 45 years.

“He has always been prepared to put back into hockey in this state, despite his enormous international and national commitments over many years.”

Talking to the man last Saturday on 5RM’s sports program, it came through strongly, juniors to seniors, clubs to the international scene, it was all equally important to this special bloke – surely one of the best credentialed guest speakers ever to come to this region.

And he has been here on many occasions before, including being involved in junior coaching activi-

ties and to play a major role in the Riverland obtaining its synthetic pitch at Berri’s Glassey Park.

As a player Meredith represented SA junior and senior teams from 1962 to 71 and Australia seniors in 1966 to 67, including 22 full internationals.

In a long umpiring career he reached top level, controlling 88 full internationals including Olympic Games, World Cup and Federation

His contribution to hockey in SA is unique and unparalledled.

of International Hockey world events from 1973 to 88.

He was regarded as SA’s leading umpire from 1974 to 2000 and for 25 years was responsible for coaching and umpires’ development, while he had charge of 16 consecutive grand finals as an Australian senior championship official 1973 to 88.

As a coach he was involved at junior and senior level at Port Adelaide 1966 to 96, was with the national officiating program and

co-ordinated and conducted numerous clinics for men and women in developing nations.

Despite all of this, there has still been time for administration.

President, secretary, treasurer at his home club, Port Adelaide, 1963 to 2001, president SA Hockey Umpires, vice president and board member Hockey SA, a member of the Australian Hockey Council and serving on several Australian hockey committees.

Meredith has held a number of umpires and technical roles with FIH since 1988 but for the past 10 years has been based in Europe as the organisation’s events/competitions manager responsible for the co-ordination and conduct of all FIH world events, including Olympic games.

In 2010 he was FIH event delegate at the inaugural Youth Olympic Games in Singapore and sport manager, hockey, at the Commonwealth Games in India.

Dennis has now returned to live in Adelaide but I doubt that he is in retirement, as a number of positions detailed in his resume continue to the present day.

An amazing man with many awards, including life memberships at Port Adelaide, Hockey SA and Hockey Australia, to his name.

And still he finds time to come to the Bully and Dribble function at Cobby Club next month.

Weather postpones yacht event

■ LAKE Bonney has not been exempted from the widely varying weather conditions we have encountered in recent times and as a result, the resident yacht club has found it necessary to postpone some programmed races until the second half of the season.

Last Saturday there were strong winds but the LBYC went ahead with championship heat three, with the sailors making the most of the conditions to provide exciting racing.

The challenging situation demanded adventurous sailors and produced fast times.

Finishing positions in the heat were Peter Dunk and Kirsten Thomas aboard Natural Progression, first, from John Eshman with Talisman and Dave White’s

No one to miss out at hockey event ■ ORGANISERS of the Bully and Dribble hockey reunion at the Cobdogla Club on Saturday, January 8, have a slogan: ‘we don’t want anyone to miss out’.

The get together is for all players who participated in the Upper Murray Men’s Hockey Association pre-1975, as well as their partners.

Having discussed the function with one of the organisers, John Menzel, it is not difficult to understand why his committee wants everyone from that era to attend.

It looms as a terrific night.

Others involved on the organising committee are John Fewster, Wayne Hutchinson, Terry Thurston, John Brodie and Trevor Anderson.

They are saying the night will be a forum for reminiscing and catching up with old teammates and old foes.

Memories will come flooding back with a display of the competition’s H.W King premiership shield, together with the original uniforms of the inaugural clubs, Barmera (white with a red sash), Glossop (yellow, green sash), Loxton (black and yellow squares) and Renmark High School (blue and white squares).

An appeal is also going out for any memorabilia, includ-

ing photographs, uniforms, newspaper clippings and anything of general interest.

Tables will be provided to display the items.

As far as invitations are concerned, some 80 or so have been posted out but as the association’s records from the years involved have been lost, contacting everyone who played is naturally difficult.

Memories have been called into play but organisers are asking for assistance from any club members of the time who have a recollection of their team-mates.

Contact John Menzel (08) 8583 7369, menzelj@baoline. com.au or Box 27, Berri, 5343, if you can assist.

The cost of the night is $25 per head, which includes a main course and sweets plus there will be an excellent guest speaker.

Registrations are required urgently to assist with catering, with non-refundable deposits of $10 to go to John Fewster, 31 Fenwick Road, Berri, 5343.

Payment should be made out to ‘Hockey Reunion’.

Any excess funds from the night will be directed to the Riverland Hockey Association.

Remember, they don’t want anyone to miss out.

Riverland Greyhound Club’s big rewards

Championship heat four will be held this Saturday before a break until Saturday, January 15.

The club’s annual Christmas party will follow this weekend’s racing.

Meanwhile, up to 20 people have been involved in the sail training sessions in the first half of the season.

The program will recommence on Saturday, February 5.

Also, not all Lake Bonney members will be idle over the break with several of them to take their boats to the Mosquito National Championships in Victoria from January 1.

Mixed feelings about medal

■ THE Australian Country under 21 men’s hockey team, coached by Berri’s Brett Stokes, has won a bronze medal at the Oceania Pacific Cup tournament in Fiji.

The Aussies lost their opening game 1-4 to 2009 gold medallists New Zealand Barbarians but then went on a winning journey beating Fiji National 3-2, Papua New Guinea 8-1 and Samoa 9-1.

The game against Samoa was called off at the half way mark because the pitch was flooded.

Those results put Australia in second position with a semi-final against Fiji.

Stokesy’s report on that game probably evolved from some frustration and disappointment after Fiji reversed the result to win 4-2.

“Sometimes, your hardest opponent is yourself,” he said.

Australia then clinched third position with a 5-0 victory over PNG. Having said earlier that he was disappointed at not playing for gold, Brett remarked at the conclusion of the event, “I have mixed feelings with the result but it was a good experience for the team”.

■ WINNER: Berri’s Brett Stokes was looking for more from his team at the Oceania Pacific Cup tournament in Fji as Australian Country under 21 men’s hockey coach.

■ RIVERLAND Greyhound Club statisticians were kept on their toes right to the end of the 2010 racing at Barmera on Saturday as major awards to be presented that night had the winners in doubt until the final results were recorded.

As I said a month or so ago, points for the various categories have been as close as many officials can recall for many a year.

In the Greyhound of the Year, Mr Miller trained by Monash’s John Rees and Stack ‘Em Flat by Bruce Lellmann at Renmark tied with a relatively low tally from three straight wins.

The two greyhounds have led in the award for some time now and were not engaged on Saturday, so connections had to watch Winburn, Rubylicious and Ball Boy all go around and only have to win their event to grab the trophy, as they all sat on two wins and placings.

Winburn did best, finishing second to Lightning Flood in the final race but Rubylicious ran sixth and Ball Boy seventh.

The performance of Mr Miller was noteworthy.

It won early races at Barmera but then could not find a class of race at the track to suit.

Meantime, it ran at Broken Hill where it won three events on end before breaking down in July and being shipped by its owners to WA. Ironically, since the dog was injured there have been a number of suitable events held by the Riverland club.

John Rees also won the Trainer of the Year trophy by one win, finishing on eight, ahead of Norma Millington (Cardross) and Daryl Martin (Lewiston).

During his acceptance

speech Rees remarked on something we have mentioned on several occasions in this column in 2010, the large number of trainers supporting the Barmera track.

Something like 20 trainers were again represented on Saturday’s program.

The Owner-Trainer Award went to Lellmann with seven wins ahead of D.J Turner (Lewiston), six, who stormed into calculations in the awards on Saturday with a double.

His first success came in race two when Manatoo beat home favourite Bandanna Girl by a whisker, then Lightning Flood, perhaps appropriately an omen bet after our local weather leading up to the meeting, won the sixth.

The opening event brought a change of fortune for Kingston-on-Murray trainer Vern Anderson, with his Tiana Boy winning its first race in 15 starts after notching up four seconds and three thirds.

Anderson also prepares Winburn so he went close to winning the major greyhound trophy.

Pot Shot won race three for owner-trainer Gary Pidgeon, Explosive Device race four for the Laffin Kennels at Maslin Beach, while in event five there were reports of a few bulging pockets when Shiraz On Tap, trained by Noel Bland at Cardross, won by 10 lengths at 5/1 in the fastest time of the day for 405 metres, 23.74 seconds.

Pot Shot was quickest from the three 512 metre events, 30.80 seconds.

A number of prominent officials attended the club’s presentation dinner including Matt Corby, the CEO of Greyhound Racing SA.

Riverlanders encouraged to nominate for gift ■ FAST: Competitors from all over Australia will come to the region to compete in the 2011 Nippy’s Loxton Gift.

■ The 10th annual Nippy’s Loxton Gift professional athletics meeting will be held in conjunction with the 2011 Loxton Mardi Gras on Saturday, February 26.

As this major event is ranked by the SA Athletics League as one of the leading three of its type in SA and one of Australia’s top 10, we know that many of our top

athletes, men and women, will come from far and wide to compete.

However, this year for the special milestone meeting, the organising committee is increasing its efforts to get more people involved in the local element of the program.

Riverlanders are being encouraged to nominate teams of four run-

ners for the relay competitions for netballers and footballers.

The events have a 100 metre straight course, while the wearing of club coloured uniforms is encouraged.

Bibs and batons will be provided.

Two weeks on and unsuccesful World Cup bid still has Australians flummoxed ■ DID I get this right?

Going into the voting for the host nation of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Australia was one of the favourites amongst the candidates and Qatar a rank outsider.

Australia apparently had votes promised by members of the FIFA Executive Committee, seemed capable of providing the infrastructure and stadiums to cope with the massive event after arrangements had been made with AFL and rugby codes to compensate them for any losses and had a track record in putting on a good show on such occasions.

For example, the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

It had also been a World Cup qualifier previously.

On the other hand, Qatar has a climate that makes outdoor sport almost impossible, had a population of only 1.5 million throughout its small peninsula, had to cope with a muzzled media etc. and had never qualified for a World Cup. However, in its bid, Australia proposed to spend $2.8 billion to enhance its facilities.

Qatar, with its massive wealth from oil and gas reserves intended to spend $100 billion on infrastructure, $40 billion on nine new airconditioned stadiums and much, much more.

Really, let’s be honest, end of story surely?

Particularly when it has been intimated that a number of FIFA Executive members were dropping things like champagne glasses when

they had completed their voting process because their palms were so greasy.

Qatar’s rich reserves would also make grease of course.

Let us not limit hanky panky such as this to soccer though, as similar situations seem to have invaded a lot of sports at the highest level so that the wealthy countries are running the show.

They would argue they contribute most of the loot of course.

All this when at the other end of the scale, if two individual sportspeople are caught having a wager on two flies running up the wall they are likely to cop a life ban.

Sad I reckon but me thinks we had better be prepared for more similar boots up the backside.

Sports thoughts...

WITHMcLEAN ROB ROB McLEAN

Ricky’s birthday may be no celebration SUNDAY will be the fourth day of the third Ashes Test and also Ricky Ponting’s 36th birthday.

If Australia’s current form continues, it could well be the end of the campaign to regain the Ashes.

The WACA has a penchant for giving us shorter Test matches – which, given the mediocre form of our side this summer, might be a blessing.

There have been some similarities between this series and t he 1986/87 series in which Australia last lost an Ashes series on home soil.

Tenuous links they may be but there are enough omens to leave

the superstitious worried.

The English have a captain, Andrew Strauss, bent on ensuring an Ashes victory and a strong and well documented South African connection (Now- Kevin Pieterson for one/Then Allan Lamb).

The skipper put his team on a war footing from the start by ignoring some of the traditional pre-series social events and formal functions, much as Mike Gatting did 20 odd years ago.

England has an opening batsman in Alistair Cook who Australia cannot dismiss, a la Chris Broad (who scored centuries

in three consecutive matches).

And this summer, there’s another Broad in the squad - Chris’ son Stuart, who made an abbreviated appearance due to injury.

Of course, there is also an idiosyncratic off-spinner (well he’d have to be idiosyncratic wouldn’t he?) in Graham Swann - think Phil Edmonds.

And while the similarities are piling up…the Australian selectors have, reminiscent of Peter Taylor, given us another by throwing an unknown spinner into the fray.

The headline Peter Who? has now become Michael Who? Michael Beer’s inclusion has

come three matches earlier than Taylor’s, who made his way into the side for the fifth in Sydney in 86/87.

So, it is all looking fairly grim for Ponting and his crew.

The candles on Sunday’s birthday cake may be blown out by an ill wind if the Australian captain’s charges have not lifted their act.

An Australian loss in this Test would see England’s quickest Ashes victory in the long history of the contests.

To find as quick an English kill you have to go back to 1928/29 when Percy Chapman’s hardened unit, featuring a dominant per-

formance from Walter Hammond (905 runs), won the first four Tests to clinch the series.

However, in that series the Third Test (which England won by three wickets) did not start until December 29.

Writing of the series in the 1930 Wisden, SJ Southerton wrote that England were “stronger in batting, more reliable and consistent in bowling and very definitely superior in fielding”.

Strangely enough, those words could describe the teams battling out this Ashes series.

A sure concern for birthday boy Ricky.

Wanted: Local cricketers

By CALLUM TRIFONOFF

ORGANISERS of the popular Willowfest Australian Country Cricket Championships are urging Riverlanders to put interstate rivalry aside and participate in this year’s competition in Mildura.

Willowfest is a renowned cricketing carnival held annually in the Victorian city but has seldom seen Riverland teams make the journey to take part, with none scheduled to play so far this year.

Willowfest administrator Bob Utber, who is the grandfather of Adelaide Crows star Patrick Dangerfield, said the lack of Riverland teams involved down the years

is disappointing.

“We don’t promote it enough in the Riverland,” Mr Utber said.

“You’ve got Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney where it is promoted a lot and it should be in the Riverland.

“We have 19 men’s teams and three women’s and if we could get 11 girls from the Riverland to come up, it would be great, but it’s rather disappointing we have none.”

Former Adelaide Oval curator and current championship ambassador Les Burdett will also be travelling to Mildura, as a guest speaker, which is all the more reason for Riverlanders to take part.

“There’s a lot of pluses for it and some of the grounds in Mildura are the best in Australia,” Mr Utber said.

“If you do well, you could win $3000 and there is also the Willowfest Whack. “$800 can be won by the person who hits the ball the furthest and you can take part even if you are not registered in the competition.”

Mr Utber said team entries will still be accepted until just prior to the championships hitting off on December 27.

Riverlanders interested in travelling to Mildura for the championships can contact Mr Utber on 0407 513 357 to organise teams.

Saville impresses

Waikerie flying high ■ From Page 46 Although it is the first time Waikerie has hosted the championships, it is not the town’s first big gliding event, the town hosting the 1974 World Gliding Championships, while more recently, it held the national titles earlier this year.

Contest director Angus Stewart said Waikerie will benefit from the championships as a town.

“It (the championships) does bring a lot of attractions to the town.

“Often, pilots will spend a lot of money at shops in the towns and hundreds of people from around the country will come watch.”

The championships are held to spot the best young gliding talent in the country, providing a stepladder to the Junior World Championships to be held in Germany next year.

Stewart said Waikerie is more than capable of hosting such an event.

“Well, the Waikerie Gliding Club is really well set up,” he said.

“They have really good facilities and the best thing is we haven’t had any sign of floods.”

The championships will run until December 18.

Meanwhile, Gold Coast glider Adam Henderson did not quite make the dream start to the tournament that he would have liked.

Henderson, while training for the championships, was forced to land in a paddock near Loxton on the weekend.

He said that due to his experience, having done over 200 hours, the outlanding was not too much of a worry.

“I have done outlandings a few times before and I’m trained to do it,” Henderson said.

“I lost height and I couldn’t find the thermals (updrafts of warm air).”

Henderson landed safely in the Loxton paddock of the Kaesler family.

Sudoku

To solve a Sudoku puzzle, every number from 1 to 9 must appear in: • Each of the nine vertical columns • Each of the nine horizontal rows • Each of the nine 3 x 3 boxes. Remember no number can occur more than once in any row, column or box

Last week’s solution:

few shows in Brisbane and Sydney and then we were going down to Melbourne and we had a day off,” Nikola said.

“That night we were out skateboarding in St Kilda, in Melbourne, and our drummer (Fredrik Larzon), he was on one of those longboards, and he’s not really into skateboarding.

“He went downhill and he didn’t know how to stop a skateboard and he slammed really hard and broke his collarbone and this was at like 11 o’clock at night and the next day we had a show to do.

“We kind of panicked because he couldn’t continue the tour but we were lucky enough to have Ross from Bodyjar.

“He stepped in, we rehearsed the next day and he learnt like 50 or 60 songs and he jumped in and stood in for our drummer.”

As band members pursue different projects on the side, Millencolin is always writing new material but Nikola said no date has been set for another album.

“We are not going to rush anything but we’ll see,” he said.

came back from that break, we had a lot of energy in ourselves and you could hear that in that album and the music,” he said.

“It was also sort of a natural thing to take it to the next level with that album.”

The release of Home from Home in 2002, Kingwood in 2005 and Machine 15 in 2008 further emphasised the Swedish band’s status in the punk scene.

A decade since Pennybridge Pioneers was released, Millencolin is returning to Australia next year for the Soundwave Festival and will be playing the popular album from start to finish.

Nikola is looking forward to watching his favourite childhood metal band Iron Maiden and tasting a cold Aussie beer.

“I really like Australian beer, I think my favourite is Coopers green (Pale Ale),” he said.

Let’s hope the four piece band can make it through this tour unscathed, unlike a previous visit Down Under.

“We’re taking our sound AFTER playing gigs across the world for almost two decades, further with every album, even Swedish punk band Millencolin though we are still in the same will never get sick of the rock star genre of music.

“Even though there has been lifestyle associated with being on some tough times in the group, the road.

While Millencolin may have we sort of decided it’s worth it matured since forming 18 years to carry on and go through hard ago, lead vocalist and bass guitar- times because it’s an important ist Nikola Sarcevic said belting thing we are still together.”

Flight time at Waikerie

By CALLUM TRIFONOFF THE Waikerie Gliding Club has a distinguished history of hosting major events and this week is hosting the Australian Junior Gliding Championships.

The championships began on Monday with the club welcoming 17 of the best young gliders in the country.

Waikerie, however, was not at first scheduled to host the championships but due to floods near Narromine, New South Wales, the original programmed location, the club is hosting the event for just the second time in South Australia’s history.

SAVILLE MISSES OZ OPEN

By ROB McLEAN

BARMERA’S Luke Saville has missed out on a berth in the Australian Open, being knocked out of the wildcard play-offs by top seed Peter Luczak yesterday.

Teenager Saville, with a world ranking of 1361, took a set off his more fancied opponent in the rain and wind affected match played at Melbourne Park but Luczak, 30, battled to

a 6-2 4-6 6-2 victory.

Luczak, ranked 137 in the world, progressed to the next round of matches, which will be played today, with the final programmed for Sunday.

After the match, Luczak praised his young opponent during a courtside interview.

“He’s a great player, he won the second set…only played one loose point really,” Luczak said.
